The biggest problem I have with that is the opinion that the masses every set their crystals and horoscopes down. People being gullible and prone to follow charlatans is the norm not a recent happening.
Today's charlatans have a much better message distribution system than did their historical counterparts.
A religious nutjob predicting doom and gloom.... nothing new there. Idiocracy had it right and even made a movie out of it.
Sadly that doesn't preclude people from preaching their own religion, they just use a different word for what they base it on but the ultimate goal is to recruit more believers.
Not true I was thinking on a career as cult leader until Jim Jones screwed it up. You are supposed to take their money, do their women, flee the country and have THEM drink the koolaid....moron screwed up the business model and reputation of the entire industry.
