    This is a step forward.

    You see, for millenia people have most been swindled en masse using Fantasy stories - you know, Demons, Gods, flying demigods with wings, that kind of thing - and now we’re starting to see more and more Sci-Fi stories used to swindle people (honorable mention to Ron Hubbard, a true trailblazer in this) - so chemtrails, mind-control satellites, weather lasers.

    PS: Curiously this pretty much aligns with the increase in Fraud in Tech and phenomenons like Tech Bros.
