Fields of work:

Populism: to support popular but indefensible prejudices;

Hyperbolism: exaggeration instead of realistic representation;

Alarmism: to trigger biological mechanisms. e.g. the scheme of frightening and promise of redemption;

Double writing: the scientifically trained reader identifies a harmless but quite superfluous trivial theory, meanwhile those who are not used to philosophical quibbling are made to believe to have got a lot of arguments in favor of a most exciting  revolutionary theory. It serves two Gods, namely both pop culture (to get a high copy rate of sold books) and  intellectual culture (to get the scientific community's appreciation).

Infantilismus: attempting to get rid of responsibility; striving  after decision making without accepting responsibility; denying reality; indulging wishful thinking; calling for a leader.
