Stand in Line
The quickest, most effective way to get human beings to “fall in line” in both accepting AND exercising behavioral norms (no matter how new or nonsensical) is to literally make us form and wait in a line. An innate, preprogrammed desire for obedience kicks in when we are queued.

"Over 600 pages, Not a single non-white or non-European political thinkers in over 2000 years! Also, not a single woman thinker (neither in the 1st edition of 2003 nor the 2nd edition of 2009).

Don't let your life & dreams, your awareness & intention, be moved even a bit by the omnipresent projections of immanent doom & gloom made by the army of 'experts'. Forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing - and forgive yourself, for there are no others. Simply deeply relax & be still to realize that that this lifetime is short & precious. Watch your thoughts, words, actions & habits - as they become your reality. If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life.
