[Describe panel here]

I'm thinking of starting a religion

That's easy.

Run around making confusing but charismatic speeches. Be a bit contradictory, for mystery's sake, but more or less straightforwarduy promote an uplifting vision of the good life.

Simultaneously promote you as perfected while

Packaging your message in simplified form for popular consumption.

Look, you can't be a straight shooting advertiser if you're promoting yourself.

It's easier, for sure. Jesus

Has paul. Socrates has plato. Confucius has mencius.

I was hoping to take advantage of my followers during my own lifetime.

That's called a cult.
