The article was set off by ******** but point taken.

I don't think there is a meme in scientology you would want to consider
using. Look up xenu, body thetans and clusters, history of man. Nuts
every bit of it.
On the other hand, the basic mechanism of rewarding people with attention
is what every successful cult and for that matter every other kind of
organization does. Some degree of social reward makes people wiggle like
puppies being petted and makes them feel good from the dopamine and
endorphins. The problem is to keep it related to the real world and not
empty like the status you get in scientology.
