IMO algorithmically generated "social" media feeds combined with the lack of adequate mass-media alternatives have supercharged cult recruitment in the last approximately 10 years.
Stupid people in my life have been continually and recklessly joining harebrained cults for the last 5 years.
Really I think it's probably much, much easier to start a cult these days than it has ever been. Good news for tech company founders I guess, bad news for American culture, American society, and the American people.
I'm up to 29.8x productivity in the first week of 2026 by continually running 12 concurrent agents, each with 3 independent sub-agents. Each third sub-agent generates new prompts for its corresponding agent by engaging with a custom-defined MCP protocol.

This is unacceptable. Why would I patronize a business that hires vibe coders? I would hope their business fails if they have such pitiful security and such open disdain for their clients.
