This groundbreaking simulation is the first in a series designed to explore the crypto-economics of a post-capitalist blockchain. Introduction We are thrilled to announce the launch of our pioneering model, the Council-Based Economy Model. This groundbreaking simulation is the first in a series designed to explore the . Utilizing the Mesa framework, a preferred choice for agent-based modeling in Python, this model marks a significant step in our exploration of post-capitalist economic systems. Here, we delve into the features and capabilities of version 0.01 of this model. crypto-economics of a post-capitalist blockchain What the Model Does The Council-Based Economy Model simulates a decentralized economic system composed of two primary agents: Workers Councils and Consumers Councils. These agents interact within a virtual environment, adjusting their production and consumption plans based on predefined rules and random adjustments. The model's core objective is to explore how these councils may achieve equilibrium between supply (workers) and demand (consumers) in a simulated simple economy without price signals, a central planning authority, or an iteration board. How to Use It Using the model is straightforward. Users can adjust various parameters, such as the number of Worker and Consumer Councils and the degree of adjustment in proposals. The model visualizes these interactions through a dynamic grid and charts, allowing users to observe the evolving dynamics between the councils. Simulations You Can Run The model offers a range of simulations, including varying the numbers of Worker and Consumer Councils, adjusting their proposal flexibility, and observing how these changes affect the equilibrium between supply and demand. Users can experiment with different scenarios to see how they impact the model's economy. For example, if a flood takes a portion of workers’ councils “offline.” Initial Simulation Findings Our initial simulations suggest intriguing assumptions. Where Consumer Proposals will initially exceed Worker Proposals: Consumers are likely to have higher expectations of Social Costs and Benefits compared to Worker Proposals. A greater number of Consumer Councils compared to Worker Councils is expected at the outset. Takeaways from these simulations include: The need for iterations to drive towards a supply-demand equilibrium between Worker and Consumer Councils. A potential necessity for Consumers to adjust their initial Social Cost and Benefit Expectations downwards. Pressure on Workers Councils to meet consumer demand, raising questions about incentivizing more Worker Councils or reducing Consumer Councils. Caveats It's important to note that: These models, while insightful, cannot perfectly mimic real life but do highlight critical issues. Further simulations are essential for understanding dynamics, especially in the face of environmental crises or other impactful factors. Upcoming Version 0.02 Version 0.02, set to release this month, promises enhancements: Multiple methods to achieve equilibrium between worker and consumer council supply and demand. Enhanced capabilities for adjusting council strategies. Future developments will include statistical analysis, summaries for community feedback, and insights for new models. Tutorials for users.

We start with the discussion on entanglement entropy in section 5.1, we discuss the information paradox and the Page curve in section 5.2 and finally we discuss the resolution of the information paradox in 5.3 from the island proposal, doubly holographic setup and wedge holography in 5.3.1, 5.3.2 and 5.3.3 respectively 5.1 Holographic Entanglement Entropy: Ryu-Takayanagi and Dong’s Proposals Let us first discuss the entanglement entropy in quantum mechanical system. Let us consider a system whose state is denoted by |ψ⟩. The density matrix of the system is defined as: Entanglement Entropy in Quantum Mechanics (QM): Entanglement entropy is measured by the von-Neumann entropy. For this, first we have to partition the system into two subsystems A and B. States in the subsystems A and B are denoted by |ψ⟩A and |ψ⟩B such that |ψ⟩ = |ψ⟩AB = |ψ⟩A ⊗ |ψ⟩B . Reduced density matrix of the subsystem A is obtained by tracing over the degrees of freedom of the subsystem B and vice-versa. Now, the von-Neumann entropy is defined as: It is not easy to compute the entanglement entropy in quantum field theories (QFTs) by factoring the system into subsystems because factorization is not always possible in QFTs. Entanglement entropy in QFT is calculated using the replica trick. First, let us define the Renyi entropy: Entanglement Entropy in Quantum Field Theory (QFT): • We need to find out a co-dimension two surface (ϵA) in the bulk Md+1 which is anchored on ∂A. • There is possibility of many surfaces but we have to consider the one which satisfy the homology constraint, i.e., ϵA is smoothly retractable to the boundary region A. • Out of those surfaces which satisfy homology constraint, we need to pick the one with the minimal area then the entanglement entropy is defined as: The Ryu-Takayangi formula has certain limitation, it is applicable to the the timeindependent backgrounds. For the time dependent background, one is required to use the HRT formula [125] where HRT stands for Hubney, Rangamani and Takayanagi. Quantum corrections to all order in ℏ to the Ryu-Takayanagi formula was incorporated in [126] where one is required to extremize the generalised entropy. Surfaces which extremize the generalised entropy are known as quantum extremal surfaces(QES). If there are more than one quantum extremal surfaces then we need to consider the one with minimal area. In [6], authors generalised the QES prescription to island surfaces where we are required to extremize the generalised entropy like functional which includes contribution from the island surfaces. In this case, extremal surfaces are known as quantum extremal islands. Since, in this thesis, we are confining ourselves to the time independent backgrounds and therefore we will not discuss the HRT formula. • Let us label the each term as αth term after getting the final expression of the second term which is obtained from the differentiation of Lagrangian with respect to Riemann tensor twice. • We need to perform the following transformations on certain components of the Riemann tensors: The reason for discussing these proposals is that when we compute the Page curve of black holes in doubly holographic setup and wedge holography then these proposals will be useful. The holographic entanglement entropy has also been computed from the holographic stress tensor and surface terms in [128] and [129] respectively. 5.2 Hawking’s Information Paradox and Page Curve Hawking’s black hole information paradox is a long-time puzzle that started with his papers [130, 131]. When matter collapses to form a black hole, the whole matter is stored in the singularity. The horizon of the black hole covers the black hole singularity. Initially, the system is in a pure state. Hawking studied the creation of particles in pairs with negative and positive energy in the presence of quantum effects, and he found that a particle with negative energy gets trapped inside the black hole, whereas the particle with positive energy scattered off to infinity is what we receive in Hawking radiation. We can get the radiation from the black hole due to quantum mechanics, which allows the possibility of quantum tunneling through a potential barrier. In the case of a black hole, the horizon acts as the potential barrier. Hawking calculated the spectrum of the particles coming out of the black hole and found that the spectrum behaves as the spectrum of thermal radiation with a temperature known as Hawking temperature, which implies a mixed state. This means that the black hole evolves from the pure state to the mixed state, and hence unitary evolution of quantum mechanics is not preserved. This leads to the famous “information paradox”. Page suggested that when we include the quantum effects, then the black hole must follow the unitary evolution [132]. If we consider the black hole and radiation region as a single system, then one should get the Page curve to resolve the paradox. For the evaporating black hole, entanglement entropy of the Hawking radiation first increases linearly with time up to the Page time and then falls back to zero [132]. We are interested in eternal black holes, and for these black hoes, instead of falling to zero of the entanglement entropy, one obtains the constant entanglement entropy after the Page time, and this constant value is equal to the twice the thermal entropy of the black holes. In this part of the thesis, we focus on getting the Page curve of eternal black holes using the recent proposals given in the literature, e.g., island proposal, doubly holographic setup, and wedge holography. Apart from getting the Page curve, we have also obtained other exciting results, which are discussed in the upcoming chapters. 5.3 Resolution of Information Paradox from Holography Following three proposals are available in the literature which started with the idea of holography to resolve the black hole information paradox. 5.3.1 Island Proposal and its Extension to HD Gravity Authors in [6] proposed a method to resolve the information paradox which is equivalent to getting the Page curve. Idea is that at early times we get only contribution from the radiation region which gives the divergent part of entanglement entropy at late times because the entanglement entropy of Hawking radiation turns out to be proportional to the time. According to [6] at early times situation remains the same whereas at late times interior of the black holes becomes part of the entanglement wedge and hence at late times entanglement entropy receives the contributions from the radiation as well as interior of the black holes. The part of the interior the black holes which contributes to the entanglement entropy is known as “island”. Island rule was proposed from a setup where we couple the evaporating JT(Jackiw Teitelboim) black hole plus conformal matter on the Planck brane with the two-dimensional CFT bath [6]. The black hole is contained on the Planck brane, and the Hawking radiation is collected in the 2D conformal bath. This setup has the following three descriptions. The Planck brane is coupled to the external CFT bath, which acts as the sink for the Hawking radiation. • 2D-Gravity: Two-dimensional conformal field theory has the three-dimensional gravity dual with metric AdS3 via AdS/CFT correspondence. • 3D-Gravity: The boundary of the external CFT bath is one dimensional where quantum mechanics (QM) is present. • QM: The island formula was derived from the gravitational path integral using the replica trick for special JT black holes in [133, 134]. The authors obtained the Page curve from the disconnected and connected saddles. One obtains the linear time dependence in the Page curve from the disconnected saddles, whereas connected saddles produce the finite part of the Page curve. The discussion of [133] holds for the replica wormholes with boundary as well. The generalised entropy in the presence of island surface is written as follows: n where R, GN and I are representing the radiation region, Newton constant and the island surface. Equation (5.11) contains two terms: island surface’s area and the matter contribution from the radiation and island regions. From (5.11), we can easily see that when island surface is absent then S (r) = S r(R). It has been shown in the literature that island surface emerges at late times and hence initially one obtains the linear time dependence in the Page curve and at late times, when island surface’s contribution dominates then one obtains the fall of the entanglement entropy for the evaporating black holes whereas constant part (twice of their thermal entropies) for the eternal black holes. Hence, when we include these contributions, we obtain the Page curve. If there are more than one island surfaces then we have to consider the one with the minimal area. We have followed this proposal to obtain the Page curve of Schwarzschild de-Sitter black hole in [12] and discussed in detail in the chapter 8 of this thesis. See [135–137] for the application of island proposal in the context of JT gravity and other issues [138–140]. gen matte Island proposal was extended for higher derivative gravity in [141]. The proposal is exactly similar to [6] but we have to replace the first term of (5.11) by the term which can give the information about the entanglement entropy of higher derivative gravity and the formula for the same was proposed by X. Dong in [127] and hence the island proposal in the presence of higher derivative terms in the gravitational action is written as [141] where Smatter is the same as the S (R ∪ I) of (5.11) and S will be calculated using the Dong’s formula [127]. For the AdSd+1/CF Td correspondence the Dong’s formulas is given below[1]. matter gravity where 5.3.2 Doubly Holographic Setup The doubly holographic setup is a nice setup to calculate the Page curve of black holes. As its name suggests, it is the double copy of the usual holography proposed by J. Maldacena. First, we need to take the bulk and truncate the geometry along one of the spatial coordinates [142, 143]. By doing so, one generates d-dimensional geometry embedded in the (d + 1)- dimensional bulk. The d-dimensional geometry is known as end-of-the-world brane or KarchRandall brane in the literature, and this holography is called “braneworld holography”. The doubly holographic setup is obtained by joining the two copies of the Karch-Randall model. The setup consists of an eternal black hole living on the brane and two baths where we can collect the Hawking radiation. These two baths behave as thermofield double states because these are like two copies of the boundary conformal field theory (BCFT). Let us discuss the double holography in the context of AdS correspondence using a bottom-up approach, and the setup is shown in figure 5.1. d+1/BCFTd The doubly holographic setup has the three descriptions summarised below. -dimensional BCFT at the conformal boundary of the bulk AdS . The boundary of is the ( ) dimensional defect. • Boundary description: d d+1 BCFTd d − 1 Gravity on the end-of-the-world brane is coupled to BCFT via transparent boundary condition at the defect. • Intermediate description: The holographic dual of is spacetime. • Bulk description: BCFTd AdSd+1 The intermediate description is very crucial to resolving the information paradox. Because in this description black hole living on the end-of-the-world brane directly couples with the external CFT bath. Define S(R) as the von Neumann entropy of the subregion R on a constant time slice in description 1. One can obtain the S(R) in second description from the island rule [6]: where generalised entropy functional (S (R ∪ I)) is [126]: gen A doubly holographic setup is advantageous in the sense that we can obtain very easily using the classical Ryu-Takayanagi formula [107]. When bulk is (d + 1) dimensional then [107]: S(R) where γ is the minimal co-dimension of two surface in bulk. In figure 5.1, there are two BCFTs on the conformal boundary of the bulk. The vertical line is the end-of-the-world brane which contains the black hole. The CFT bath collects the Hawking radiation emitted by the black hole. This setup has two possible extremal surfaces: Hartman-Maldacena [144] and island surfaces. The Hartman-Maldacena surface connects the two BCFTs; it starts at the CFT bath, crosses the horizons, reaches up to the turning point, and then meets the thermofield double partner of BCFT. The entanglement entropy is divergent at late times for the Hartman-Maldacena surface, which implies Hawking’s information paradox. The island surface starts at the external CFT bath and lands on the end-of-the-world brane. The island surface’s entanglement entropy turns out to be a constant value (twice of thermal entropy of the black hole). Therefore, one recovers the Page curve by combining the contributions of the entanglement entropies of both these extremal surfaces. See [7, 145–161] for the extensive literature on the doubly holographic setup. Some authors found that gravity is massive on the end-of-the-world brane [162–165] when we couple the brane to the external CFT bath. In some papers, it was shown by the authors that we could construct the doubly holographic setup with massless gravity on the brane [11, 154, 166, 167]. We constructed the doubly holographic setup from a top-down approach in [11] and details are given in chapter 7. We have a non-conformal bath (QCD2+1) and the holographic dual is M theory inclusive of O(R4 ) corrections [1]. The reason for the existence of massless graviton in our setup is that we required the wave function of the graviton to be normalized, the second reason is due to the Dirichlet boundary condition on the wave function of the graviton, and the third reason is that end-of-the-world brane had non-zero tension and hence localization of graviton is possible on the brane in a “volcano”- like potential. We obtained the Page curve with massless gravity in our setup, which was impossible in other doubly holographic setups without the DGP term. One alternate method to deduce the massless gravity on the brane is to include the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) term [168] on the brane [166].5.3.3 Wedge Holography 5.3.3 Wedge Holography In the doubly holographic setup, the external bath is a fixed CFT bath. In some of the papers, it was found that gravity is massive on the end-of-the-world brane and island prescription is not valid in the masssless gravity. Some of the authors considered the bath as gravitating too [8, 9, 162, 169]. This setup is known as wedge holography in the literature. It was also argued that in wedge holography, Hartman-Maldacena surface does not exist and hence no Page curve in wedge holography. In [13], we showed that entanglement entropy of HartmanMaldacena surface is non-zero for the AdS and Schwarzschild black hole and it is zero for the de-Sitter black hole. This implies that one could get the Page curve for the AdS and Schwarzschild black hole but not for the de-Sitter space using wedge holography. See Fig.5.2 for the pictorial description of the wedge holography. One can get the Page curve or not in wedge holography is a debatable topic. Some progress in this direction has been made in [166]. It was shown by the author that we can get the Page curve with massless gravity localize on the Karch-Randall brane provided we have to include the DGP term on the Karch-Randall brane, see [170, 171] for the detailed analysis with examples. Take into consideration the following action, [8, 9, 169], to describe the mathematical description of wedge holography: The above equation has the following solution [9]: Similar to the double holography, wedge holography has also the three descriptions: BCF Td on the conformal boundary of the bulk with the ( ) dimensional defect. • Boundary description: AdSd+1 d − 1 two gravitating systems are connected with each other via the transparent boundary condition at the defect. • Intermediate description: the holographic dual of is classical gravity spacetime. • Bulk description: BCFTd AdSd+1 The wedge holographic dictionary for the ( + 1)- dimensional bulk is stated as: . Therefore it is a co-dimension two holography. Now let us understand the how this duality exists. d holographic dual of the (d−1)-dimensional defect conformal field theory is the classical gravity in (d+1)- dimensions Braneworld holography [142,143] relates first and second line whereas AdS/CFT correspondence [17] between the dynamical gravity on the Karch-Randall brane and defect CFT connects second and third line. Therefore, ( + 1) Wedge holography helps us in getting the Page curve of the black holes similar to doubly holographic setup discussed in 5.3.2. One is required to compute the entanglement entropies of Hartman-Maldacena and island surfaces and plot of these entropies with time will give the Page curve. classical gravity in d bulk is dual to CFTd−1 at the defect. [1] We have already written the formula in (5.1), here we are writing the covariant form of (5.1). In this formula, a and i, j represents the tangential and normal directions.

Data-driven investing is reshaping the landscape of the financial markets, particularly in the realm of stock investments. This strategy diverges from traditional investment approaches by employing a comprehensive analysis of vast datasets through statistical and algorithmic methods. Understanding Data-Driven Investing Data-driven investing is a strategy that relies and algorithmic processes to make investment decisions. This analysis is in-depth of multiple datasets, including traditional and public web data storage. heavily on statistical analysis Traditional methods may depend more on fundamental or technical analysis alone, but data-driven investing uses vast datasets to analyze market trends, predict future movements, and make stock trading decisions. This approach leverages historical and real-time data, applying complex models and algorithms to interpret and act on the information. The more data, you can argue, of the investment. Call it a complete picture. the better the potential The unique advantage of data-driven investing lies in its objectivity and efficiency. It minimizes human bias and emotional influences. It offers a more systematic and analytical framework that investors are favoring for making investment choices. The depth and breadth of data analyzed in this approach uncovers insights investors can overlook in more conventional analyses. That can potentially lead to better-informed and more strategic investment decisions. Making it Manageable Of course, that sounds complex. Mass amounts of data are overwhelming even for the geekiest data analysts. And yes, while data-driven investing presents numerous advantages, it poses significant challenges with time and the expertise required to process and analyze large data volumes. You can read all the data you want, but do you understand it? And even if you do, can you remember what you read at the start of the analysis compared to the end? Probably not. That's where are becoming essential, especially when applying them to stock market investments. The trouble is that the overwhelming majority of companies are leveraging AI simply to curate market insights without offering actionable or valuable insights to investors. advanced technologies like AI Unlike conventional implementation, illustrates how leveraging AI to parse extensive data from various sources is able to refine the data into valuable insights for investors, which is the direction that data-driven investing should go in. FINQ’s 2023 financial analysis report The example of FINQ, particularly with its FINQLAST portfolio, underscores the potential of AI in enhancing investment returns and providing a competitive edge in the stock market. Using Data for Stock Market Success can offer substantial advantages over traditional approaches. By integrating big data and AI, investors can gain a nuanced understanding of market dynamics, uncover investment opportunities, and more accurately anticipate market trends. This method offers a scalable way to apply data-driven strategies across diverse investment portfolios, allowing investors to customize their strategies based on AI-generated insights. Data-driven investing Data-driven investing represents a significant move forward in how investors approach stock investment and how we analyze massive data sets to improve investments. And we're only at the beginning. In an era of information overload, the ability to sift through vast amounts of data and extract meaningful insights is invaluable. Data-driven investing allows for this by employing advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques. These technologies can analyze historical and real-time data, identifying patterns that humans might overlook. The result is a more informed investment decision-making process, grounded in a comprehensive analysis rather than gut feeling or incomplete information. This methodology democratizes investing by leveling the playing field. Small investors, equipped with AI-driven tools, can access the same level of analysis as large institutions, enabling them to make decisions with greater confidence and strategic insight. This shift could potentially disrupt traditional investment paradigms, making the market more accessible and equitable.

Roll1ng Thund3rz Unveils Web3War® v3.0: Pioneering The Future Of Gaming With Skill2Earn Dynamics

I just finished watching Escaping Twin Flames on Netflix and thought of a book I read (inhaled would be a better description) last year that delved into the world of cults - by Amanda Montell. I approached it expecting to read about those poor people who are gullible enough to fall for cults and instead walked away surprised. Cultish If you think only dummies fall for cults — you’re wrong. If you think would surely never fall for a cult — you’re wrong! you Cult-like behaviour is more prevalent than I thought. Not in a move-into-the-dessert-and-follow-a-charming-leader kind, but in everyday activities. Thus cult-ish. Joining a fitness studio might be cultish, following a New Age spiritual guru on Instagram might be cultish, even the Twitter bro fetish for mantra is cultish. work hard, play hard In her book, Amanda explores the language, psychology, and dynamics of cults and fanaticism in various aspects of society. A quick overview Cults and extremist groups often use specific language and terminology to manipulate and control their followers. She discusses the way these groups create their own lexicon and jargon to create a sense of exclusivity and belonging (us-versus-them sentiment). Language is everything: The book explores how unlikely and out-of-the-ordinary popular culture presents cults to be (A crazy guy convinces crazy people to do crazy stuff). This leads us to underestimate the influence and potential danger of cults by assuming only crazy people fall for them. We have unrealistic ideas about cults: No cult starts by feeding its followers insane ideas. They employ psychological tactics to gradually bring the person into their universe, which gets more extreme over time. She examines the use of love bombing, isolation, and other tactics to exert control. Manipulation: Cultish behaviour and language can be found in various aspects of everyday life, including self-help movements, wellness trends, and consumer culture. Montell proposes people unknowingly engage in cult-like behaviour. Cults in everyday life: She examines how online platforms can serve as breeding grounds for fanaticism. Social media and technology: Throughout the book, you can find stories of individuals who have managed to escape cults and extremist groups, shedding light on the process of recovery and deprogramming. Escape and recovery: How to recognize and resist cultish behaviour, develop critical thinking and media literacy. Preventing cultish behavior: The book examines how cultish language extends beyond traditional cults and influences various aspects of society, from marketing and self-help gurus to political movements. Montell illustrates how cult-like dynamics can be found in unexpected places, thus . Cultish 1. The Power of Language Cults create a unique language and vocabulary that serves to isolate their members from the outside world. This terminology reinforces a sense of belonging and reinforces the group’s ideology. Cults to create a sense of separation that requires either reinventing existing words or inventing new ones. Because most manipulation and coercion occur in language, instilling a new vocabulary is crucial. need Think of Orwell’s Newspeak: 1984 War is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Strength. Another tell-tale sign something’s cultish is “love bombing” — overwhelming recruits with affection and attention to create a sense of dependency and loyalty. For example, MLM recruits people through their kind of jargon: cutsie-empowering-you’re-the-special-one Girly!! Omg, I saw your Instagram profile and you’re clearly such an entrepreneur, you’d be such a GREAT addition to our team!! We love go-getters and empowered people who don’t play into the victim mindset — and you seem like a powerful creator!! By employing this term, cult leaders normalize what is essentially a form of emotional manipulation. Members may mistake these excessive displays of affection for genuine care and connection, making it difficult for them to recognize the underlying control tactics. Language is a powerful weapon in the hands of a cult leader because language is how we create reality. If somebody gains power over your use of language, they can make assertions and plant beliefs you wouldn’t have chosen yourself. “In every corner of life, business and otherwise, when you can tell deep down that something is ethically wrong but are having trouble pinpointing why, language is a good place to look for evidence.” — Amanda Montell 2. Cults in Pop Culture The book delves into the portrayal of cults in movies, television, and literature. Montell argues that these portrayals often sensationalize cults and may downplay the seriousness of the issues they pose in reality. For example, Montell references the film “The Invitation,” where a dinner party takes on cult-like qualities, illustrating how cults can be portrayed in a suspenseful and sensationalized manner in movies. Our interest in cults is reflected in the increased availability of cult documentaries on streaming services. Just a few recent examples: (promised its followers a never-ending, sexless alien life), and Jonestown: The Life And Death Of People’s Temple (how the followers got convinced to join mass suicide) Wild Wild Country (the Enlightenment guru Osho’s community gone too far, Heaven’s Gate: The Cult of Cults . Montell gives a plausible reason for our collective obsession with cults: “The reason millions of us binge cult documentaries or go down rabbit holes researching groups from Jonestown to QAnon is not that there’s some twisted voyeur inside us all that’s inexplicably attracted to darkness… We’re scanning for threats, on some level wondering, Is everyone susceptible to cultish influence? Could it happen to you? Could it happen to me? And if so, how?” A short answer as to whether this could happen to you is yes, argues Amanda. I encourage you to read the book to understand why. 3. Psychological Manipulation Montell provides in-depth insights into the psychological tactics used by cults to recruit and maintain control over their members. These tactics include the aforementioned love bombing, isolation from family and friends, and fear-based manipulation. The thing with cults is that they happen gradually as opposed to all at once. If you join Scientology, they won’t tell you about an alien called , described as a planetary ruler 70 million years ago who brought billions of aliens to Earth. They will tell you that: Xenu from Scientology.org “Man is basically good and his spiritual salvation depends upon himself, his relationships with his fellows and his attainment of brotherhood with the universe.” — This sounds lovely, doesn’t it? It says: You are intrinsically good Your spiritual enlightenment is in your own hands There are others on the path just like you. You’re not alone Connection with the Universe/Divine/God is definitely attainable. It’s easy to attract people with a message like that. No crazy stories, just tell them you know the key to their existential problems and they’re good to go. This gradual revelation of the ‘Truth” and alienation of others (you are special because you know something others don’t, and being with them corrupts you) is what turns otherwise “normal” people into followers. Cult leaders exploit basic human needs for belonging, purpose, and security to draw people into their fold. 4. Influence on Everyday Life The book examines everyday scenarios, such as self-help movements and wellness trends as cult-adjacent. Montell argues that these can exhibit cult-like characteristics, with charismatic leaders, exclusive language, and unwavering loyalty from followers. Let’s take the multi-level marketing (MLM) industry, where companies often employ cult-like tactics, such as exclusive terminology and relentless recruitment, to create a dedicated salesforce. These organizations often rely on creating a sense of belonging and loyalty among their members, similar to how cults operate. Another example would be beauty and wellness influencers promising that this magical face cream , that attending CrossFit classes is a lifestyle, not a thing you do or that exercising overall is a morally right thing to do. changed their skin forever Most Instagram coaches market their services as I was in this terrible place before, just like you, and then I discovered the magic formula X, and I’m willing to sell it to you so you don’t suffer like I did. In the two examples above, there’s usually a charismatic leader (be it an influencer or a coach) who appears happy and confident. In the coaching world, they also have testimonials from former clients who are now super happy having taken the magic formula they sold. I know I know, it’s just marketing, but if you watch Escaping Twin Flames you’ll see A LOT of similarities. 5. Social Media and Technology Montell discusses how social media and technology have become platforms for the rapid dissemination of extremist ideologies and cult-like behaviour. Online echo chambers and algorithms can amplify radical beliefs further. For example, QAnon didn’t need to gather together physically — ideas of Q spread through the internet spread and created a movement of cult-like following. Even then-president Donald Trump joined in the “fun” to exploit the followers’ beliefs further for his gain. Another example would be either radical left or right, with each movement using tribalistic language and slogans to create a sense of identity and belonging. 6. Escape and Recovery The book shares stories of individuals who have managed to escape cults and extremist groups. These stories shed light on the challenging process of recovery and deprogramming. The hardest part about recovery is learning to trust yourself again. It’s a catch-22 because it feels like got yourself into the cult, so how can you now learn to trust your judgment? you The process of leaving a cult can be emotionally and psychologically taxing, and understanding the recovery process is crucial for assisting survivors. Yes, using the term survivors sounds dramatic, but it’s what it feels like for people who have escaped cults. 7. Preventing Cultish Behavior Montell concludes by offering strategies for recognizing and resisting cultish behaviour. She encourages critical thinking, media literacy, and open dialogue as tools to prevent falling into the traps of manipulation. Develop healthy skepticism and seek independent thinking and diversity of thought. If you think you know the right way, reconsider the strength of your beliefs. Finding yourself feeling morally superior to others for doing a certain activity (exercising, using specific face cream, dressing a certain way, etc.) is also a sign you are acclimatized to a cult-like language and community. Conclusion In essence, humans are social and spiritual beings seeking meaning, connection, and purpose. It’s almost like cultish behaviour is part of our makeup. People want to be a part of something important and language helps them identify as part of the tribe. So, becoming cultish is hard to avoid. Overall, the book provided a thought-provoking exploration of the language of fanaticism, drawing on examples from various contexts to illustrate the power and pervasiveness of cult-like dynamics in our culture. There’s much more to be found in the book than I could have provided in this piece. I highly recommend you read it for yourself. P.S. This is a uncovering the cultish and ridiculous world of coaching and spirituality. hilarious IG account Also published . here
