re: #29 Dread Pirate

Back in the 70-80’s a lot of companies sent their employees to Erhard Seminars Training, EST. You could see a weird change in the eyes of its graduates. It led to a lot of overconfident nutjobs running companies into the ground. We used to call them ESTholes.

IIRC, the late 1970s film adaptation of Semi-Tough satirized EST and other woowoo of the era. I saw it once many years ago and thought it was pretty good at poking fun at all that kind of nonsense.
