Part I of Steiner's book is called "You Can Be Taken." No matter who
we are or how smart we think we are, we are vulnerable to the snares
of the con man. Why? It's not because we're greedy or stupid. It's
because we are trusting. We trust people we think are sincere and
being sincere is certainly a quality of trustworthy people. However,
as Steiner points out, if what the person is selling is nonsense, it
doesn't matter that she's sincere. As Steiner says: "If you consult an
astrologer to make life decisions, you are giving up control over your
own life. You are living your life based upon mystical nonsense. That
is true whether the practicing astrologer whom you consult is a fraud
or a sincere true believer"(6).
