Amanda Palmer’s TED Talk is basically the same self-actualizing BS as the cult programming in one of my favorite episodes of Law & Order: “Mega,” starring Michael McKean and Annette O’Toole. CRUCIAL PARALLEL THAT MATTERS MORE THAN THE SPINAL TAP CONNECTION: “They invented a series of rules (Love Yourself, Maximise Your Success etc.) and decided to target young, newly rich people (typical were dot-com millionaires such as Joe Callister) with self-esteem issues.”
