We spend hours of our time debating with idiots about why they shouldn't believe in spiritual or anti science nonsense. It is frustrating, but we do it because we want a world free of this shit. Does anyone ever feel like just giving in and instead just try to make money out of it? It almost feels like these fuckers are asking for it. What to do:
1. Write a book/TV documentary and make up a load of pseudo-history that will entertain morons? This one isn't too bad as you'll only be aiming it at people who would otherwise be watching reality TV. They will go around afterwards thinking they are now more educated than history professors though - something to have on your conscience.
2. Start a religion? Sounds like a lot of effort, and you may end up in a religious turf war. Make it a liberal sexy religion and you could sleep with lots of young female followers, so perhaps worth considering.
3. Become a pastor of an established religion? Declining market, not sure what the entrance exams are like. Little work to do once in though.
4. Become a medium? You need to be pretty nasty to exploit the bereaved - perhaps not.
5. Sell herbs/magic crystals to the anti-vax alternative medicine brigade? Would feel bad if they were giving it to their kids, but I wouldn't hesitate making vast sums out of the middle class pseudo-intellectuals.
6. Ghost hunts? Probably not a huge amount of money in this one, and it's been done to death on TV. Filming dust floating around sounds a bit boring,
7. Conspiracy Theorist? Apparently Alex Jones is worth a few million now, so there is money to be made. Cons - you come across as a nutcase.
With all these you can apply such creative licence, and not being bound by facts or evidence would be highly liberating, though possibly soul destroying. However, you'd never be annoyed by idiots again. The more stupid the person you come across, the more potential you have to make money!
(ps this is a tongue in cheek thread in case anyone thinks I'm a monster)
