Conclusion
| To recapitulate, running a doomsday cult is an easily achieved, lucrative alternative lifestyle with almost unlimited fringe benefits. A fundamental human void of meaning and identity drives the massive demand for such groups. Long-inculcated fears and hopes can be exploited by well-established methods and later controlled through techniques designed to systematically break the subject’s will and reduce him or her to a groveling sycophant. A great man once stated that his vision is extended by standing on the shoulders of giants. One must learn from the mistakes and successes of the manifold doomsday cults of history, but also come up with new ideas and tailor old ones for current situations. Armageddon is a surprisingly enduring vision which will be avidly anticipated throughout the long future of time. |
