We Found The Cheese!
The cost of building the maze to date is: three hundred and eighty four million, seven hundred and ninety six thousand, one hundred and eighty one dollars.
By some predictions, the eventual cost of the maze will be one billion dollars.
The maze is quite cleverly constructed. At first glance it appears that there are eight variables:
- Joe Biden
- Hillary Clinton
- Chris Dodd
- John Edwards
- Mike Gravel
- Dennis Kucinich
- Barack Obama
- Bill Richardson
But six of these choices almost immediately turn into blind alleys because in reality the corporate design of the maze mandates only two official choices.
Regardless of the wishes the maze-runner may initially have … simply by following the maze the runner will be led inexorably toward the programmed destination.
The maze is so ingeniously designed that even if the maze-runner makes entirely uninformed, completely random choices throughout the maze, the runner will act as anticipated by the designers of the maze. The predestined runner will always reach the preordained destination.
The cleverest aspect of the maze is that it ensures, as the runners progress, that the participants will become progressively more emotionally attached to the choices they have made. By the time the runners reach the end of the maze, the contestants are almost entirely emotionally-driven, and believe that they have somehow “won” something.
Vindicated and victorious, the delusional maze-runner exits the labyrinth only to enter a second maze. Once again it appears there are options. This concluding maze offers two choices but is designed to realize one outcome.
In this maze the runner may be disappointed with the outcome, but it is absolutely necessary to hide from the participant that regardless of his/her initial choice, the results for all maze-runners is for all intents and purposes … the same.
There is always the option of chewing through one or more of the walls of the maze … the so-called “Nader/Paul Syndrome” … but almost all the maze-runners have been conditioned to believe that it is dishonorable and ultimately … futile … to attempt to change the corporate design of the maze.
