I'm thinking of writing a movie-script....entitled: 'Hobo-Man'.
The story would go this way....some down-and-out guy...mostly a loser throughout life, has gone to homeless status in California.
At some point....he's drawn to a testing-program for $300 in cash per month....to take a pill. He's told over and over....it would stimulate the mind. As part of the program, you have to agree to a hook-up for one hour per day after taking the pill.....to some AI-system...to fuse knowledge into his mind.
He gives a talk one day at the homeless camp hangout....saying something wittty/clever. Some news team uses the sixty-second clip.
Within hours....half-a-million people have viewed the clip....thinking this is the guy who should be governor of California.
A political party begins to develop....the 'Hobo-Party'.
Over the course of a year.....Californians buy into this guy's reality, and he's elected. A year or two passes....the guy is running for President.
At the peak....hours after being sworn in as President....the drug company comes out to admit the pill that this guy was continually given.....was just a Tic-Tac.
The question is....did he just need a boost?
