Who do you think sold all those people that Enron stock . It was the Wizards of Wall Street. Magicians were economic forecasters whose job it was to predict the future and sell people on those forecasts -- seen any of them lately on the financial channels. They were also known as false prophets.
I don't watch the financial channels. I do watch Fox's saturday morning stuff, especially the one that's on at 9:30 here (11:30 eastern) but that's largely because of the smart hot babe ratio of that show (man, if economics department was that good looking when I went to school there's no way I'd have gone into CSC, bravo to Fox for listening to their name and finally making economics interesting... and they're smart too).
Of course, I didn't ask you about Wall Street, nor about economic forecasters. I asked you about Madison Avenue, advertising executive land. You know, people that make a living manipulating other people. According to the text I quoted from you in 117 you indicated that anyone that was good at manipulation (convincing other to believe what you want them to) was practicing witchcraft. While I certainly have no love in my heart for the manipulative, and will even give you that they're evil, I think proclaiming that they have supernatural powers is at best paranoid and at worst giving those that are easily manipulated a ready made excuse to fall back on when they should be learning to think for themselves.
