Do you think the idea of logging in to a secure server is a safe as it could be. Or more to the point do people who log into secure websites even know the difference between a safe and unsafe site? I think no. So is it the idea of the lock all over again. The idea that people who rob houses aren't deterred by locks and say break a window...Or go down the street to the house without the alarm...Or disconnect the alarm. It's really then just an idea to make people feel safe using an illusion of safety. Not safety but a belief that we are safe. Like the idea that money is worthless expect that it's backed up by the full faith and support of the government. So people feel safe with illusions of what they really want. Security, monetary systems, or an effect we might have on the world around us. Lets worry about a meteor say. So we can spend tons of money to build a meteor defense strategy that might save us but in reality can't...inevitability is a mighty strong focker. So you create fear and then you create product? Or you create a product that introduces a new fear? It's one way things are done. So then there's the other that says: "Hey lets do something to address x problem" I take a dump and don't want to stare at it tell it drys up so I make a toilet to whisk it away. They are both really great models and I suppose both have there place. So which do I prefer...Well I am paranoid enough so I go for the fear play. Make people even lazier than they already are and you will have a great invention I say. Remote controls rule!

New idea on an old theme

What if you ideology consists of you taking a divine hold on a culture and programming it to respond to a way of life. Then suddenly they're in control of a whole culture or society and your beliefs, which aren't supposed to interfere with your decisions, ultimately do. Say you think the rapture is upon us and in your eyes the best place to be is in heaven with your GOD. Yet your god doesn't believe that suicide is alright so you don't get a free pass. What do you do instead...How about you destroy the world around us that would be the most logical path to a cloud nap.

Or say that your political party is known as the party of less governmental control and the party that allows the working man to make his own mistakes. You create policy that reinforces that idea by passing laws that loosen governmental control but only in a round-a-bout way. Because these same policies hand out large government contracts to your political friends in support of supporting you. Then these friends receive tax breaks, cut salaries, and outsource to save money$$. So know you have a working class who's unable to afford the goods you sell and who is taxed by a government that gives it's taxes to itself.

Pretty cool way of doing business I assume so long as your at the top of the pile:)
