I though this was well balanced and thought provoking... im not going to say I agreed with all the measures (I couldn't afford it anyway) but why not make a few changed to live longer... what's the worst that can happen? You don't live longer and still die whenever you would have anyway...nothing lost!
Openly saying "This is a cult" is a little uncomfortable though. Enter with caution...he literally told you it's a cult from the start so thats on you now.
