I was reading this article today about how a guy made a fake name famous on the internet for $68, how he paid $50 to get 19,000 Twitter followers.

And then blammo, the post gives a shoutout to a douchebag that I know...

OMG, haven't talked to him in years, but he was always full of shit. Watch one of the videos, it's comically bad and staged. AND NOT IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE.

new blurb on mindvalley website:

We’re an international group of visionaries, rebels, crazed inventors, best-selling authors, quirky artists, and ambitious entrepreneurs working on pushing humanity forward through culture hacking and revolutionizing the global education system.

sounds like the heritage foundation to me

yeah i went back and looked at their site for the first time in a while recently and was amazed at how impossible it was to even find a page listing their actual products for sale (which was def there not long ago)

sort of want to poll the different sectors of mindvalley

my vote goes to the russian women

it's sort of fun to imagine a group that was ACTUALLY composed of visionaries, rebels, crazed inventors, best-selling authors, quirky artists, and ambitious entrepreneurs -- like, get Madame Blavatsky, Subcomandante Marcos, Emmett "Doc" Brown, Scott Turow, Bill Plympton, and Henry Ford together in a room and watch the culture get hacked!

What is
Culture Hacking?

cul·ture [kuhl-cher] noun, verb,
The quality in a person or society that arises from a concern for what is regarded as excellent in arts, letters, manners, scholarly pursuits, etc.
A particular form or stage of civilization, as that of a certain nation or period: Greek culture.
Development or improvement of the mind by education or training.
The behaviors and beliefs characteristic of a particular social, ethnic, or age group: the youth culture; the drug culture.

hack, verb
To cut to the core. To dismantle systems apart. To rebuild. To recode.

Thus, “culture hacking” is the art of bringing in technology and education in smart effective ways to rapidly “recode” and advance culture, altering in the process the behaviors of everyday individuals to make them adopt smarter practices that elevate their lives.

And so far, the results have been phenomenal.

what's the word goole, good speech or no?

iirc i couldn't get very far.

sweet spot of being super bland but being really embarrassing about it

what did you think of the school's website? curious why you posted it.

might be a good school? idk i just looked the dude up and found his business, so i posted it. charter schools are vaguely suspect to me but not much thought went into it tbh.

$150,000, seems reasonable

'Child Whisperer' sounds like a euphemism for pedaphile.
