• The Herbalife / Tupperware Pyramid

  A 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 Experiment

  A 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.
