This article was very good, and yet... It sounded like reasonable motivational feel good propaganda supporting the rigged system that you're in favour of because you've been honoured and absorbed into it. I don't doubt that you believe it. I don't doubt that Scientologists believe their thing. Scientologists also understand celebrity power.

"[Insert clever quote]." ~ Mark Twain
Oh, well, if Mark Twain said it then it must be good, I'll have to remember that and recycle it.
Your article while good, was not an essay that would include the cons with the pros. It was far from fair and balanced. This was my subjective take, whatever that's worth, that it was just supportive puff that called for balance and clarity but gave none.
It's like the corporate media telling us the markets is better than ever, more profitable (for elites), and that the economy is doing just fine - meanwhile more people are unemployed than ever, (anyone unemployed over two years doesn't count for some reason,) riots in the streets, rigged elections, fake news, false flags, looming or starting wars....
Nothing to see here. Ignore the whales behind the curtain. Your leaders have everything in control. Go back to work debt slaves. Watch the boob tube for more updates.
Ah, the low-theta trap...
I don't understand. Is this a meme I haven't heard of?
https://www.google.ca/#q=low-theta - I don't get it.
Am I low-frequency brainwave white-noise snare somehow?
Is my gripe not legit because I'm not elite?
You won't find anything about it on Google.
And not because it's not some "secret society" secret.
The gripe is because of uncoverted brainwaves - a kink in the memory system. The "elite" are just as susceptible as anyone else - moreless the same dynamic in effect at the root of "their" paranoia and belief in scarcity.
I'm flattered you call me "elite" but I just play one on TV.

You're talking about human nature...
Elite or otherwise. Hording can't be helped. It's never enough. We're wired to want, never grateful for what we have, always resenting what gets taken or lost.
Q: What do you call a skeevy little horder with connections?
A: A billionaire.
Let's start a Steemit secret society.
Okay, first you encrypt an email to me of yourself compromising a child so that I can blackmail you if needs be. Then we'll infiltrate some well meaning peaceful groups and exploit and murder them in a false flag event that launches us into a profitable war granting us access to their land and mineral rights. Then we can send covert operatives to blackmail or assassinate all the Steemit whales into our clutches...
Is there such a thing as a secret society for good?
I never called you "elite."
And to your final question... you would never be able to know if coming from the presupposition there couldn't be, for the low-theta judgement would close off your receptors to any information contradicting your belief...
Thanks, I get that a lot, and though I do look elite, I insist I am not.
And finally to your final answer to my final question I finally ask another final question: Are you speaking from the confirmation-biased perspective of a secret society insider or an outsider?
A member of a secret society for good might think they were doing good but couldn't verify it with non-secret-society-members. (Inversely, a member of a secret society for bad may think they were doing bad, but were actually doing good, and they couldn't verify it with non-secret-society-members.)
On the other hand the existence of a secret society for good might be so secret that no one knows about it. In fact, we may all actually be in the secret society for good and not even know it because it's so secret!
ok. this takes the prize for all your comments so far. I like the mind-benders... :-)
