Boss started many projects, as a way to engage his time, and pursue that tired goal of stimulating money.
He engaged in his endeavors with proxies. People who would engage the tasks, and may not even know they were for Boss. People who would love to do the work, because they were led to. When Boss wanted to relax with others, he would spend time with people who really loved mind control. Who saw how wonderful it could be; how it could accomplish anything anybody ever valued. Eventually communities established, where some were in the "in" group, who were on board with a future of mind control. And some were in the "out" group, who didn't like the future Boss had given his life to building. Having an "out" group made some of the work a lot easier, to collect data.
