And the authorities of this so-called education often take pride in their ship shape structure where they manufacture dumb manikins.

Changing the spelling of one's name to ensure success, performing rituals for good luck, wearing colored gem stones for success in business – all these fall into the same category of psychological reinforcement.

Thus, a person’s superstitious beliefs become the tool of exploitation in the hands of ruthless fraudsters.
