2 documented theories filed under this subject.
- The Herbalife / Tupperware PyramidA theory claiming that multi-level marketing and party-plan direct sales were not only commercial models but social-conditioning experiments designed to test obedience, belief reinforcement, scripted recruitment, and group identity under pressure. In this view, businesses such as Herbalife and Tupperware are used as case studies in a larger cultic or mind-control architecture disguised as entrepreneurship.
- The Facebook (2012) Emotion ExperimentA theory based on Facebook’s real 2012 News Feed manipulation study, but expanded into the claim that the company was testing whether it could induce clinical depression or population-scale emotional collapse. The published experiment became, in conspiracy retellings, evidence of a hidden social-engineering program rather than a bounded study of emotional contagion.
