How do you define "smart people"?

You can define it however you want to. I define it as people which want concrete proven results.

So, in order to make more money he went against his moral values and now writes articles about lies just out of greed. This is your analysis of the situation?

I don't think he was thinking about money at the time. I think he discovered IM, he saw that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. He thought: "well it works sometimes I might as well write about it on my blog". Then people started writing him and telling that they also use IM and it sometimes works for them too! And a feedback loop started - I believe it because you believe it because I believe it. IM got pretty popular, generated more traffic, Steve got more popular and all is good for him. I'm not telling he is a crook, but what is the difference now between him and any religious person selling you hope for a better afterlife?

I would then guess that authors like Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, the makers of "The Secret", the makers of "What the Bleep Do We Know", the author of "The Dissapearance of the Universe" etc. are all also such crooks who made up this big pile of crap to sell to stupid people to make money.

Well, all of them are rich.
Did you hear about anti-gurus? Those are people that have some kind of secret but they don't really want to help anyone and don't make any profit out of it. Why not look at them for help?

This is a very convienient conspiracy theory. However, what if you're wrong?

Then you will live a better life than me, good luck.
