I super don't though, I would be happy if I could get people off their butts to do some fun rituals though ;)

All dictators "just" want people to do something *they* think is fun. See how you snuck "fun" in there?

I don't want anybody to do it who doesn't think it's fun, but I don't think its non-funness is what's preventing people from doing it

Another is the market. Unfortunately, that works a little too well and reveals precisely how much people WANT to cooperate

paying people to do rituals with you seems deeply unsatisfying - markets are awesome for some things but not for others

Oh that's not what I meant. I mean market as a way to bring us (for example) twitter and screens to stare at. Indirect.
