It took me until I turned 50, but I finally made the effort to watch the original (1931) Frankenstein movie featuring Boris Karloff.

I really enjoyed it. We're planning to watch Bride of Frankenstein and Son of Frankenstein, also made in the 1930s, in the coming days.

Here's the unfortunate thing about it, though: the movie gives the impression that the Frankenstein monster is a stupid brute who cannot speak.

To the contrary! In Mary Shelley's novel the monster is capable of reflecting on his wretched state and scolding Dr. Frankenstein for his cruelty. The monster's soliloquy is actually quite moving.

If your film exposure to Frankenstein is Mel Brooks's Young Frankenstein, you'll be surprised by a detail in the original film. In the Brooks comedic version, Dr. Frankenstein digs up a recently buried body and brings it back to life.

But in the original film, Dr. Frankenstein creates his monster by assembling body parts from various deceased individuals. This way he isn't merely restoring life to a once-living man, but giving life to a being that was never alive in its own right before.

As we all know at the end of the film, if we didn't realize it before, it would have been better for the world had Dr. Frankenstein not created that creature.

Some people are not cut out to create things.

Instead of being a product creator, Dr. Frankenstein should have been an affiliate marketer.

He could have promoted medical books and supplies created by other people, and earned a commission on sales.

Far fewer deaths and tragedies that way.

And now that we have the Internet, it's all the easier.

Think about it: why wouldn't a revolutionary, worldwide institution like the Internet, that links you up in principle with the entire world, transform the way an ambitious person makes his living, and make previously unthinkable levels of success possible?

You've gone from taking out classified ads in newspapers to having the entire world as your audience. In the right hands, in the hands of someone who knows what he's doing, the sky is the limit.

If I haven't gotten you at least a little curious about affiliate marketing by now then I am really terrible at this.

Maybe this is the stupidest idea in world history.

Or maybe it's real, something worth knowing about, and has the potential to make your 2023 much better than your 2022. I myself couldn't survive without it.

Surely you can spare a few moments to find out.
