What is this strange appeal I feel for grown adults (like me) who go to great IRL lengths, often investing and even asking for\charging ,money  trough means such as: stolen valour, fake heraldic titles, bogus martial arts\mcdojo or bullshido cults..in latin america. there are dozens of fake orthodox priests (because orthodox is "exotic and mysteries", since it's a very minor religion ,so there's not much people to check with about specific guys).
Do they do it for fun? for profit; but they do a lousy job and push the lies FAR too much...
Are they getting some perverse satisfaction over duping idiots, or does the boner arise from their Persona being grander and grander?

Eastern Orthodox fuckers have the coolest robes. I hope to one day have some like this but other symbolism.

People like to feel important. And we humans tend to forget that Money is a God also. 
I imagine Money is whispering into their pineal glands, encouraging them to chase wealth. 
As for the lack of valor and virtue and the other stuff, I imagine that Money doesn't make emotional investments nor hedges his bets. 
From my perspective, they certainly have they favor of Money

I had been interested in pilgrimages (any religion, really, to see the Flow Effect en masse-experience, I guess)for a time, BUT I was violently disappointed by how extremely commercial and touristy (non-ascetic) the "packs" are. All fancy, cushy, no vettos of pilgrim's faithfulness..Use of TRANSPORT! (!!)
Even different School's most sacred items are up for sale (Gohonzon of nichirenism, catholics relics -all of withwhich are fake, tho).This ironically makes me believe more in the Bible- Pauline epistles of "love of money is the root of all evil".

One must understand the strange relationship religion has with mass society. It's really only a dressing on top, for most people. Well, at least in this capitalist hellscape.
Religion won't put fish and bread on the table. Eris won't give you shelter and certainly not security. Material reality ultimately dominates spirituality, at least among the living who have survived. And so, religion becomes secondary to the economy and its superstructure; its culture.

So yes, for millions the pilgrimage slowly becomes "oh its that thing we have to do so we aren't damned", or worse, "oh honey look at those weird people *siiiiip*".
And we don't FUCKING talk about **mas. For what it's worth, there's nothing authentic about that holiday in the first place, but nonetheless it's a clear demonstration of how compromised the typical "follower" can be.

It's amazing how money can pervert all kinds of contradictory things. I don't fully understand, beyond the basic theme of political recuperation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recuperation_%28politics%29
Look at anticapitalist grifters. Their fans should clearly know better!
Camping -> Glamping - what's the fucking point? Just get a hotel you prick.
Just look what they did to San Fransisco. The Emperor Norton would have razed the place had he seen this future. Even their hippie festivals like Burning Pope are gentrified.
Religions aren't special, and it looks like only the inner circles and cults can escape this commercial deterioration.

R1T can't solve more difficult problems which R1 can solve, so a sidegrade rather than an upgrade. Good enough for RP though.

That's the trouble with benchmarks.
If the questions aren't open, it's hard for anyone else to trust if it's a decent benchmark, let alone fair.
And if it is open, it can be gamed by hypelords.

Taste is inextricably tied to the development of personality, perhaps even to the "soul" (soul as in a kind of immaterial/spiritual and implicitly psychological pre configuration that makes us react in a certain way rather than another and makes certain things more appealing rather than others - even before micro traumas that further shape personality). It comes down to recognizing this subtle "essence" that shines through simplistic/complicated mixing of elements - this I feel is what taste is in it's purest form. This essence is God.
But there are lower* levels as well. Essentially, developing taste is a matter of getting to know yourself intuitively, then curating externalities according to that. In the end even if the things you interact with aren't made in the image of your soul, you can appreciate depth/authenticity to the extent you develop this intuitive knowing of yourself. The normgroid default response will entail details of technique, but all technique falls short in the face of the Eternal. Orient yourself towards the Undying. Don't ask what I mean, let these words carry you to the source, close your eyes.
