You have to understand 'choices'..
really... else the pattern of adam, eve and serpant would repeat..
the same pattern : is all around..
what drives people into brands :iits, google etx..
is the approval and money..
the compete : makes it about 'money'..
thats what society tells us..
programs us..
if the best minds : succumb to that..
then there is really no hope..
the matrix and its tricks for 'fining' them..
the weird 1s..
the neos... is quite elaborate...
Cicada 301 : is 1 of those 'curiosity' attempts..
people finding validation in thrill of a puzzle : approval : win..
the same is most of the hackers..
the choice : is the lure ...
the choice : itself is not the lure..
just like 'money' : itself is not evil..
it is the intents : your lure hacked you
or curiosity : is the cope of hacking..
coz a conscious choice : is a prepared choice..
and organic choice..
just like meeting a stray dog : for the 1st time..
the trust : has to be cultivated..
grown..it takes 'time'..
but curiosity : is all about choice : not time...
