GTD seminars are used to induct members into the cult. It's analogous to Scientology and their ideas on productivity. The audience for GTD is mostly programmers due to corporations sponsoring the seminars. Everything programmers do is ideological. Programming is also hard which is why coders are susceptible to scams. Uncle Bob and OOP principles are very cult-like as well although the methodology has proven itself suboptimal and convoluted.
