Strategy 5

Teeth

Almost everyone has teeth. For various reasons some people may need to get fake teeth. Most people clean their teeth -- whether real or fake -- twice a day, everyday: when they get up in the morning, and before going to sleep at night. Though I brush my teeth twice a day, I only floss once a day. For a society that has become so unaccustomed to ritual such as ours, the ritual act of brushing our teeth may actual bring us closer to the gods, demonstrating visual results: purity.

Gold

Gold is a soft, yellow, corrosion-resistant element, the most malleable and ductile metal. There used to be the same amount of gold stored by the government at Fort Knox, as there is in US currency, currently exchanging hands across the globe. Now there is no fixed price for gold anymore. Wearing lots of gold while brushing teeth that have fake gold on them is likely to increase the visible results associated with being closer to the gods. This is the same reason why the Catholics like to use a lot of gold in their worship services.

Everyday

There are lots of things we do everyday: eat, drink, sleep, have sex, ride the subway, go to work, exercise, chant. Some of these things we do many times in one day. Most of us think there is Nothing Special about doing everyday things. Andy Warhol didn't. I think we all need to think about everyday things more and put our whole hearts into doing them in a way which is deeply fulfilling to us.
