For new age people, I'd try to get them to try to attract rationality.

I must admit, I laughed out loud there.

Dark Side Epistemology exercise: go to Google, find a really painfully written web ad for a Pick-Up-Artist manual or something comparably cheesy and dark-side-susceptible. Rewrite the ad to be an ad for rationality techniques.

(Don't feel you have to show it to anyone, this is just an exercise.)
