TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

I swear to Eris this has nothing to do with that other thread.

Very interesting tho, as it exposes how the structure of a system can lead to claiming to work towards one goal while driven by other motivations (please do't make me repeat the first line of this post).

Wait, people would manipulate data to sell products?

But to be honest, I am a tiny bit surprised about the after-the-fact manipulation.
I was expecting this to be something on the how advertisers are using science to frame their ads in a way that better circumvents the consumer's will.

The whole process is deeply fucked. Add to that the fact that despite the BAWWWWing of pharmaceutical companies about the costs of developing new drugs, most of the cost of drug development is borne by universities and pharmaceutical companies spend two and a half times more advertising them than they do developing them.
