When I first started learning about all this stuff, there were a few relatively clearly defined schools of thought. There was Jefferies, Mystery, Wygant and a few others who had some overlap but were mostly independent schools of thought.

If you take an academic discipline like psychoanalysis or philosophy - there will generally be certain founders of schools and then a bunch of people who extrapolated tremendously on their work and evolved the thought through contemporary times.

A problem I am having is now there are probably tens of thousands of people who are claiming (usually for marketing purposes, which is lame) that they have this whole new take on everything and they are different. The result is there is no filter on trash advice. If someone went to /r/philosophy and claimed to be from the Marxist school - the Marxists on the sub would be able to tell if this guy was full of shit or if he was departing from their thought too much to be considered one of them anymore.

I don't have much control over it, but if someone learned the MM and made a few tweaks, they should be considered a part of that school. Likewise some guy who goes Wygant's way and uses a loose natural game should be considered part of his school. If we don't have people stand up and say what they actually did and instead just spew nebulous garbage then seduction will enter into some weird postmodern form where every piece of advice is both right and wrong.

Is it just me, or was it easy where there were less teachers and more students?
