>>8773288>Why don't we just plagiarize the stories of the past, rewrite them to suit our purposes? I mean, it's worked for them for 2,000 years...The danger of this is being fake. If you're utilizing a proxy for your beliefs, there's a chance for the proxy to get misaligned with your actual beliefs and cause deviations from those beliefs. They also necessitate a bicameral movement with the large unwitting mass and a small group of the initiated who know the REAL truth for manipulating the rest with. This is a bad era for trying to hide things this way, see Mormons and Scientology.
You need to come from a base of having created your own values, to start from an a priori position of "I know what matters in life." This is a tremendous task if you want anybody but yourself to follow it. So really what we're talking about is finding the shared values of people similarly minded to ourselves and using them as a central nexus to unite a group of people. Don't try to convince anyone of anything; just speak to the values they already have, and explain how your movement is a way to actualize those values.
Most of the stuff you're planning out would emerge naturally from just finding people that you share core values with and binding together in whatever way you can. Just as an example, the shitty lock/master key analogy is a good example of an emergent myth of 4chan. I don't mean to say it's fake, but the role it plays is the same, it's a shorthand for a certain value, a certain belief, that is told through a story. That's all a myth needs to be. Put it in a compilation of "Starting 4chan user" and give it a thousand years, someone will call it Scripture. Do the same with everything else; you pick and choose what you take, destroy or modify based on your internal values. Don't define yourself by your fidelity to ready-made ideologies of the day, measure the ideologies of the day by their fidelity to your self-evident truths.
Quit planning and start organizing.
