The key to building an idea is inducing blind faith in others.

...imho.

Edit to expound: if you have blind faith in your idea, then when it is about to fail, you will go down with it. If you don't, and it's about to fail, you will recognise this and extract yourself in time to survive.

At that point it's up to your personal moral compass whether you help the others whose blind faith you've built to reach the escape pods.
