I write to express my deep dissatisfaction with your recent article on Keith Raniere’s innovative patents, particularly his Behavioral Modification System.
Your portrayal of his inventions, I believe, lacks the depth and understanding required to appreciate its value. Mr. Raniere first filed a patent application for his RBMS™ in 2014.
Regrettably, it was later abandoned in almost every nation on earth except China, not due to lack of merit, but because the world wasn’t ready to embrace a new approach to an old problem.
At the center of this process is the Focus, an individual with an issue[s] and a team of Mentors, equipped with techniques to understand the needs and behaviors of the Focus.
The Mentors employ various methods to gain understanding of the Focus. These include monitoring: social media interactions, financial transactions, health and academic records, biometric data, AI-driven behavioral analysis, drone surveillance, predictive algorithms, smart home systems public records, track retail and consumption patterns, travel and movement records.
Mentors must study every aspect of a Focus so they can understand her issues.
With this data, Mentors make informed comparisons between the Focus’s current state and a ‘matrix of consistent internal existence’ – a theoretical model representing an ideal state of being and thought. This comparative analysis identifies areas where the Focus fails to realize the ideal.
Whether the mentors are human or AI they have their work cut out for them.
The Mentors then offer feedback to the Focus. This empowers her to realign her thoughts, emotions, and actions to conform with the matrix of consistent internal existence.
The Mentors thoroughly examine every inch of the Focus and her life, and then provide complete and thorough feedback on everything she is doing wrong.
The Mentors thoroughly examine every inch of the Focus and her life, and then provide complete and thorough feedback in writing and when appropriate in person on everything she is doing wrong.
This process is iterative and continues with persistent monitoring, analysis, and feedback, until no more inconsistencies remain in the Focus’s behavior.
You’re Only as Good as Your Ethics
In his patent, Mr. Raniere refers to a “matrix of consistent internal existence.”
He does not mandate a specific matrix. But Mr. Raniere had plans to file a patent application for Raniere Ethicist Matrix of Consistent Internal Existence [REMCIE™ ).
REMCIE™ defines:
Spiritual Growth
Moral Clarity
Business Ethics
Ethical Living
Selective Socialization
Financial Mastery
Personal Presentation and Habits.
Optimized Nutrition.
Regulated Intimacy

Life Decisions
The issues addressed are:
Lack of obedience to authority
Impulsiveness
Fear of success
Tendency to act like fleas hopping from one host to another
Inability to accept feedback
Narcissistic behavior
Denial of issues
Excessive body weight
Behaving like an entitled princess
Chronic lying
Jealousy or possessiveness in relationships
Resistance to change
Setting limiting personal boundaries
Excessive sleep
Lack of reliance on mentor
Chronic indecisiveness
Fear of commitment to growth

Next time, before you open your stupid mouth, maybe you better know what you are talking about.
Just saying.
