Why does anyone get taken in by a cult?

From the video they have
>Big flashy mechanism with lots of complexity. >Big promises about energy production at low cost
>Identification with Tesla - 'An unfairly marginalized genius, like us'
>Thriving 'Us vs Them' mentality

All the usual ingroup - outgroup hallmarks and absolutely no formalized science or descriptive mathematical systems to keep them honest.

I suspect many of them are earnest, they've just been taken in by the promise of an accepting group that makes them feel good and important - Just like every other cult.

I'm equally sure that others, probably the leaders, are just in it to develop a cutting edge way of scamming scientifically illiterate investors out of their money.
