Survival of the Swiftest (Week 5 post 3)

Cohen: Eh. Another fraudulent guru. Another narcissist who found a way to make abuck. Lane really likes to shine the light on these gurus and while it isterrible how they take advantage of people, it is not just gurus who do this. Itis not limited to cults, churches or spiritual organizations. Politicians,advertisers, doctors, drug dealers, car salesmen; the world is wrought withcharlatans. While I am sure there are many like Lane who dedicate their lives toexposing these frauds or tricksters for what they are, maybe there should be apoint when we stop protecting people from their own stupidity.What we can see so clearly as we shake our head at the audacity of these gurus,as we chuckle at the naiveté of their loyal followers, they choose not to see,vehemently deny and angrily protest. So maybe we should let them be. Maybe theydeserve to be swindled out of their cash. Perhaps this is Darwinism at itsfinest, or perhaps I am just in a bad mood…
