[X] Plan: Coopt, Therapy, and Undercut
-[X] Establish stricter standards of security and ethics for experiments, to at least keep them from covertly infiltrating or beginning scientific experiments in their direction... and clean that up in general, making it clear that the guidelines on ethical experimentation are both moral and a way of advancing knowledge in actually-usable ways.
-[X] Research facilities really should be more secure.
-[X] Allow somewhat limited research into mind-interfacing and other similar things, within these highly restricted ethical standards.
-[X] Study and analyze the lowest extremes and moderates of the Aetherical Cog to find and select suitable candidates for legitimizing into an official properly structured and monitored cult that discards the cell-like structure of the Aetherical Cog. Encourage the lowest extreme cells to dissolve and join this official church to be protected by official recognition. They would of course have to have a new name.
-[X] Proscribe organizing under the banner of the Aetherial Cog or its beliefs that are not of the officially recognized and sanctioned doctrine. In essence, brings the hammer down on those who do not submit to the officially recognized doctrine.
-[X] Develop and create a psychological therapy organization and professional therapists to help people self-actualize themselves without being drawn into the extreme end of the Aetherical Cog doctrine.
-[X] Put money where the mouth is in working with those in the demographics most likely to be lured to provide them opportunities for new kinds of jobs, upward and sideways mobility, etc, etc. Create more opportunities for self-actualization, and when combined with the discouragement of the "Aetherial Cog Community" it will make it less popular and less able to provide those Wants.
-[X] Also utilize propaganda to celebrate individuality and personal responsibility within the bounds of the community.
