PYRAMID SCHEME was inspired by the pseudo-confidence diving headfirst into the deep end of something you don't fully understand. it's putting all your eggs in one basket. it's drinking the kool-aid. it's committing fully to the scheme ... the unrealistic return on an investment, a co-dependent friendship, maybe even your own ego. maybe it's glaringly transparent from the outside but no matter how off-kilter, there's no turning back now.
