0:00.0	His question is very innocent. Some may call it a dumb question, but they say there's never a bad
0:04.1	question. He said, how does one start a cult today? He's interested in starting to call today.
0:09.2	He wants to have a cult like Falun. He wants people to be crazy about him. And he's wondering,
0:14.1	if you wanted to do that, how do you do that today? Well, the times have changed. And so if you
0:19.3	wanted to start a cult today, you would do it online.
0:23.2	This is the new way in which cults thrive and recruit people and raise money.
0:28.4	So you'd have your social media accounts, X, Facebook, TikTok, you'd stream, you would have websites, you'd have a YouTube channel, you might
