Manhattan Cult Story - Atty. Spencer Schneider

They took an oath of absolute secrecy and lived in a covert world in plain sight. “It didn’t look like a cult. I was relieved. Nobody was in black robes chanting.

Many textbooks on emotion fail to pay attention to it, and in scientific journals there are hardly any contributions focusing on this behavior. In contrast, there is much interest from the lay public, allowing pseudo-scientists to formulate theories that have little or no scientific basis.
