Sure Things III: After Money

Kill happiness. Make the fulfillment of personal desires the ultimate evil. Unhappy people will come to you, their souls empty, yours to fill. Teach them sacrifice. Why? Because "the man who speaks to you of sacrifice speaks of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master."
Tame reason. It's the one weapon your victims will have against you, catching you in a contradiction. Tell them that reason is not everything. There's instinct. There's intuition. There's faith.
And finally, there's this: "Everything that can't be ruled must go."
Surely the foregoing sounds familiar. Frightening, isn't it? The lead others seem to have on you? More frightening still is this:The Matthew effect--"Unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath"--works relentlessly in enclosed societies.
Better get moving.
