You are only asking this because you are not on their level.
The answer is yes, of course I or anybody else would join by building up one's self mentally. You have to do it for yourself. You have to use your mind powers. Raise yourself. There is plenty of information online and in written books. Do the research. It is not dark. It is not evil. It is simply the way things work in the material world.
As sure as the sun appears each day on the eastern horizon. The wheels keep spinning.

Some people (category A) lead great lives: luxurious house, great cars, exotic holidays, gorgeous women, perfect family...wealth, love, comfort all that.
Others (category B) struggle through life...unemployed, working dead end jobs, debts, depression, lonely, addictions, living in crappy neighborhoods. Nothing to look forward to...Life just grinds on. These people wish they had the good life like the people in catgory A.
So Is it wrong for the people in category B to dream of living a comfortable life? (no dont give me that bs about how theres more to life than pleasure).
Would it be unethical for them to serve the illuminati or whatever dark powers rule in exchange for a slice of the good life (as led by category A).
you know what? I'd do it in a heartbeat. Why the eff not?
What about you?

You are suggesting that joining the Illuminati = riches and not joining the Illuminati = no riches. I would suggest to you that joining the Illuminati with the expectation of riches as a result is naive. You join the Illuminati to become "illuminated" and know what is really going on in the world. Your payment is in the satisfaction of so knowing. You join because they'll actually admit you on the basis that you will be an asset to the organization because of some sort of skill you possess that they need. It's a two-way street. You apply; they accept. It's not guaranteed.
There's an old Buddhist saying that, I think, is also the title of a book.
"What do you do before enlightenment? Chop wood; carry water."
"What do you do after enlightenment? Chop wood; carry water."

Are you saying enlightenment is meaningless?
Anyway, I would join the Illuminati. I think I have already done that, army and so on.

I asked people if they would join the illuminati to get out of a crappy, joyless life Of poverty And hopelessness.
