Mindfuck 101

1. Create a problem that doesn't exist as you say it does.

2. Convince others that this problem exists as you say it does.

3. "Fix" the problem that never existed as you said it did.

4. Recieve praise for fixing problems that didn't exist as you said they did.

5. Having earned trust for nothing, do whatever the hell you want.
