karl loren: inherently still recruiting for the way to happiness associate program

karl loren has a webpage dealing with the "Way to Happiness Associate Program". the tactics behind the associates program recruitment: "To create a worldwide, grassroots campaign to flood all the societies of Earth with this message of hope and peace, The Way to Happiness book, through an associate program that rewards those who contribute to our vital purpose." your only requirement in the associate program is to bring in 3 new associates each month and buy 36 booklets, "at which point the campaign becomes self-financing, self-perpetuating -- and ever expanding."after the campaign description, he goes on to explain that "We will create a huge flood of booklets into all the societies of the world -- a regular flow of booklets that keeps growing exponentially larger each and every month. With only 10,000 associates there will be 4.3 million booklets distributed every year. With 100,000 associates there will be 43,000,000 booklets distributed every year.

if every person signed up 3 associates each month, the total associates each month would equal 4^n where n is the month (starting from month 0 to month n). that means that if this plan were seriously to be executed, everyone in the whole wide world would be in the associates program in just over 1 year (16 months).

my quesiton is, if everyone is in the associate's program in just over 1 year, is the associates program disbanded? it's only point is to recruit people to the program, and if there is no-one left to recruit to the program, what will the associates program's purpose be? those people who get recruited at the beginning of the 16th month are so stoked that they dont have to recruit anyone. too bad that's not karl's case (because his webpage exists stating he is in the program and i'm not in the program yet ....)...keep it up karl! at worst, you only got 15 more months left of it!

more importantly, 36 booklets cost $54 according to twth.org. at the end of the 15th month, this means that $640 million dollars will have been spent on booklets. someone is going to be ridiculously rich.
