You wish to lose weight, but the idea of dieting and exercising does not appeal to you. You are ready to try miracle cures advertised in certain dubious publications. The only real way to lose weight is to diet and exercise. So you resign yourself to the fact. You visit a community where the inhabitants live peacefully, growing their own food and working together for their collective well-being.
Any money is communal and for the benefit of all members of the community.
You would like very much to be part of such a group. It's a dream life. You take the time to find out about the way the money is managed and the autonomy of the members. If, after that, everything seems in order, you may perhaps give it a try. In the light of recent events concerning this kind of cult, you fail to understand how intelligent people could be fooled by these gurus.
