My favorite has to be the motivational gurus and hucksters, that just spout absolute nonsense. I saw one example, it was something like this:
"You don't understand scale.
Use $50 to buy 10 tomato plants.
In 6 months you have 250 tomatoes.
Plant those into 250 plants.
6 months you have 6250 plants.
Plant them.
6 months you have 156k tomatoes.
Plant them.
6 months you have 3.9MM tomatoes.
Sell them for $1 each."
Another genius went on with this motivational piece:
"If you double $1 every day, you will be a millionaire in 20 days. What's your excuse?"
- thom 3y agoI dunno, there’s a pretty convincing episode of Lovejoy about this.

I told him how great he did in last quarter. He started to ease a bit. He thanked me and left the elevator smiling. His simle made my day. Compliment your coworkers. I think if we make it a habit, we can make the world a better place." And such.
