I've decided to turn supervillain.
As the "Mad Homeopath", I'm going to gather water with really bad memories, dilute it a hundred times and pour it in my city water supply, demanding they give me absolute control or they will all suffer. HA HA HA! (I probably still have to practice my maniacal laughter).
I'm searching for ideas on how to impress the public with it, how to make it known to the media, how to publish it anonymously (yes, I appreciate the irony of demanding that the mayor cedes control to an anonymous villain).
I can see this going one of two ways:
either I gets the best demonstration of city-wide compartimentalization, at least to the appreciating rationalists;
or I get charged of "induced alarm" by pouring pure water into the city water supply.
Either way I think is going to be a blast :)
I don't think anybody believing in homeopathy would be concerned. Homeopathic theory wouldn't predict that anything bad happens.
On the other hand it's likely blackmail.
Homeopathy would actually predict good results. According to their rule that "like cures like", this would be expected to help people who are currently suffering from bad memories.
