Aura farming: the charisma competition people take seriously
Aura can now be farmed. Next week, the second edition of the aura farming championship kicks off, and the profile of one contestant reveals what lies behind the trend: an entrant who admits he failed in the first edition due to anxiety and never even showed up. The phenomenon, which mixes gym culture with absurdist humor, has its own unwritten rules.
The advice: be yourself or see a surgeon
The recommendations are contradictory. One camp argues that being natural wins: "go with the flow and be yourself, the aura will come." Another claims aura can be trained, and that even looks matter: some recommend going under the knife before the event. Meanwhile, the pragmatists simply point out that it's better to Google it than to ask. The disparity makes it clear there is no official method.
Anxiety, the invisible rival
The pressure already took its toll in the first edition: the same contestant dropped out without competing because of nerves. In the second, the question is whether he's competing against aura or against his own head. The only thing that seems clear is that nobody knows which moves earn the most aura. And that, if you take it too seriously, you've probably already lost it.
