I spent a long time thinking that death sticks were cigarettes. Then I read the Legacy comics and found out that they’re basically hallucinogenic heroin.

Purpose of this blog

This blog has a few purposes:

guard readers against scams

counter the American wealth mythos

understand persuasion, how people come to believe the things they do, what "belief" means, and how so-called mental imperfections are abused by long-form text marketers to ruin the lives of others for their personal gain.

I believe that if you see enough examples side-by-side of "six weird ways to lose fat", "this is not a get-rich-quick scheme for the greedy: it's only for hard workers who want financial independence and freedom", you might be inoculated against it.

Who knows --- maybe this form of abuse also holds some keys to the human psyche.

In college I did an independent study with my logic professor on cults. We read Why do people believe weird things? by Skeptic Magazine's Martin Shermer. My curiosity was not satisfied because a) he did not answer the question in the title and b) he focused on cultish extremes (objectivism) and silly non-harms (astrology).

So-called "long-form text marketing" has a familiar ring to it every time I see it, but I can't quite grasp or describe it. I hope to catalog enough examples of this evil form of persuasion that it can be understood and combated.

If you read the blog, I hope you learn something and most of all protect yourself and others from these sharks.

My motivation is based in both curiosity and anger. I hope that John Crestani, Billy Gene, Cody Sperber, and Tai Lopez suffer, and that their victims are saved. I am not sure about Ramit Sethi and Tim Ferriss. If you know of ways to sue or discredit these scammers, please get in touch via the ask box.

John / Tai / Cody, if you read this: you ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Everyone has one life to live, and you are using yours to hurt people. Fuck you.
