< Becoming Part Of A Secret Society
I've yet to meet a human sans patently ridiculous views in one area and/or another, so it makes sense people of similarly patently ridiculous views would rally about them. :-)
It's been decades since I've thought about such: vague memories of touching upon such when reading "None Dare Call It Conspiracy" as a teen. I was fascinated by the notion there might be more intelligent forces guiding a society that seemed a vast sea of idiocy. Something like that.
(Not that that's what your organization is doing.. just saying such seemed an appealing topic to me in my youth.)
