All who can sustain me on my EXMO mission, please make it manifest: I’m looking for some input on a TBM rescue project I’m launching. The idea is to develop low cost, convenient, simple yet effective ways to proactively reach out to TBMs with some thought-provoking info.

I understand why you want to do this. I want to help people move away from the church as well.

Large amounts of psychological trickery has been used to put these people's minds into a version of reality where the church is true. Simply writing something that says their version of reality is mistaken and handing it to them is not going to bring them into a new reality.

I propose that a possible way to do this is through the use of psychological hacks. If we can use our minds to place certain things into the reality of the members that conflicts with, or exposes as ridiculous the church version of reality, I think we'll have more luck.

As an example, if we could somehow popularize the use of seer stones in hats among modern people it could lead members into recognizing just how absurd they actually are.

If a bunch of people got themselves 1. a rock and 2. a hat and began using these items for guidance with apparent sincerity where TBMs can see it, it would be hard for them to deny that the silly thing they were seeing is identical to what created their entire church.

Have you ever personally seen somebody receive guidance from a seer stone in a hat? It looks idiotic. TBMs have almost certainly never witnessed this spectacle with their own eyes. We should make them witness it. They will not be able to unsee it.

I'm working on ideas for a bunch of Mormon Hacks.
