I have my own opinion which I will share, but I don't want to set anyone up
with expectations.
If any of you have received spam from one of two authors claiming that 99%
of humanity are 'fakes' and that they and a few others are the only
worthwhile people on the planet, and that they are looking for more, this is
the site that the 'puzzle' at the end leads to.

If I believed in real and fake people I would go all the way and claim that only I am real. But then it would be pointless to communicate with anyone. Well, if I wanted to create a cult I would have to make a compromise, I guess.
This particular version does not seem to be about fake people. It is rather about useless people following the social conventions.
It is always interesting to watch someone trying to start a cult. There are no details about what exactly they want to do. Apparently, at this stage they are just looking for people without a religion, without personal desires, and without strong social affiliations; just "logic", so that they can be talked into something.
It seems they are going to fill in the details along the way, depending on the responses. In chess, this technique is called "non-commitment". When you are not sure which is the best plan because it depends on your oponent's reply, you try to make moves which fit in all your candidate plans, and you only commit yourself when your opponent has made a commitment first.
Anyway, this thing seems to spread fast in the net. I'll be watching with curiosity.
