Playing the human game:
It’s tempting to oversimplify what it takes to read people well. Humans are complex creatures and to truly discern an individual’s motivations, fears, wants, needs, perceptions, habits, and attitudes can seem overwhelming and inherently imperfect.
This is why so many people just overlook what’s happening beneath the surface of human actions.
It’s easierto just put your head down and focus on doing good work, hoping that will be enough.
Often it isn’t.
But the complexity presents an opportunity.
This is why jury consultants are highly paid to divine a prospective juror’s mind-set, why successful negotiators focus on psychology as much as deal terms, and why poker players who can read their opponents well are able to win big—sometimes millions of dollars big.

A simple trick to defuse people and gain their trust is asking diversion questions.
By asking someone about the time before moving on to what you want to really ask them about, you make sure that person lets their guard down and commits to the conversation.
As such, they engage in the conversation subconsciously and you get over their defense mechanisms.
The goal being to make them feel more comfortable so that you can get the information you seek from them.
This is a proven technique used by mentalists and many others to engage with a complete stranger.
Another type of questions that get people more committed and involved in the conversation are interro-negative questions.
Which are basically seemingly open ended questions but in reality they direct the conversation to a specific topic.
The goal of asking an interro-negative question is to confirm or deny a statement but that's not just it.
Interro-negative questions have an underlying assumption that your interlocutor has to confirm, but being open-ended, they are forced to go on further and explain why it's right or wrong.
This is a good way to make your interlocutor talk more and feel more comfortable sharing information with you.
Those are two ways you can make someone commit to a conversation without forcing anything.
Try it, watch their tongue loosen.

Not sure I agree with it all but there is truth in there.

Being passive is an invitation to disrespect.
Not being aggressive enough won't solve anything for you.
You'd rather be overly aggressive than overly passive.
Most wars in history were won by those who attacked first. Yeah you can double check this fact.
Being passive means not planning enough.
Being aggressive doesn't necessarily mean that.
Most of the time, it means moving with purpose.
Aggressiveness isn't always candid, most of the time it's well thought of.
Be aggressive but purposeful.
Strike hard, strike first, strike once.
The battle is won.

Nobody wakes up one day and thinks:
"I'm going to manipulate this person using X mental warfare strategy"
Nope, that's not how it happens.
What happens is that as their relationship with the person evolves, they get to know them and what their weaknesses are.
Because that's the common point of manipulators, they don't even know it but they're good at spotting weaknesses.
They get to know what triggers you and what makes you weaker.
The day your interests diverge, they know what strings to pull.
That's why I keep telling you not to open up to people.
Even if their intentions aren't malicious, if they have leverage over you, they will use it.
That is also why it's important to know said mental warfare strategies, because once you know the mechanism behind, you can defuse it before it does any harm or damage to you.
Learn manipulation for the sake of avoiding to be a victim.
Don't learn it to manipulate others, because that's unethical and won't help you in the long run.

Name-dropping:
This is often used by people who want to give you an inflated image of who they are.
They'll drop names in the conversation that inspire you a specific feeling so that you associate them with those people.
Influence and reputation through association.
Example:
You meet a guy in a sports game.
They start telling you about the time they spent with X famous athlete because they know that impresses you.
After all, that's the context you met them in.
They know you have interest in sport so they'll use that.
This applies to every situation.
Careful of people who do this.

Twitter's new CEO about to ban a lot of people (probably me included lmao)
I want to take a moment and develop on something I spotted on this video.
Had to watch it twice to realize how smooth it is being said:
"People who are smarter than you and me have decided that this was the best plan"
See the fallacy here?
The underlying message?
They really want you to think that you're not smart enough and that you're inferior.
Afterall, for you to accept what they're about to enforce, they need you to admit that they are in fact far superior intellectually.
They didn't say "people who are more qualified".
They said smarter.
Because qualified, everyone can study and become that.
But smarter?
It means there is something within you that you can't change.
You are no longer allowed to be a critical thinker.
For the love of yourself, open your eyes on this and realize that they want you to be humble and modest to take advantage of you.
"ego is the enemy" is a psyop meant to make and keep the mass mediocre.

Advertising drugs and anything pharma related should be forbidden.

This is blatant propaganda.

If you've been following me for a while, you understand that genuineness is, for me, the essential social virtue one should have.
As much as I talk about manipulation, I simply share how their mechanics work and how you should protect yourself from it.
That's because I believe the most powerful Mental Warfare tool is and will always be genuineness.
That's because genuineness frames manipulators into truth, which is a ground they ignore.
Genuineness invites abuse.
By being genuine, you invite people to take off their masks very often.
By being genuine, you expose people to early tests that define your relationship.
By being genuine, you build healthy relationships and forget about those that wouldn't have been worth it.
One trial learning.
Give them everything.
Wait for what they'll give back.
Balance. Judge.
Trust or move on.
Make it extreme, have an answer early on.
Youd rather judge than get fooled.
I know many won't understand this.
But those who do:

Self Sufficiency
The need for self sufficiency is vital.
You no longer have a choice, if you want to be in control of your life, either you become self sufficient or you will live in a world where others impose their rules on you.
In Europe, we are moving towards a V pass to be able to work.
Duration between V's ? 3-6 months depending on the country.
In short, if you don't do it, in addition to being excluded from social life, you will be unable to feed yourself and your family.
The simple-minded will respond, "All you have to do is agree to do it."
They have not understood anything about what is happening and what will happen.
A world of control where you will not be able to do anything if you do not accept the new rules, each one crazier than the next.
The only remedy will be self-sufficiency.
The only thing who gave you the power to say No when you really don't want to do something.
For that, you have to be financially independent and mentally strong enough not to give in to any social pressure.
It's vital to have a plan for several years so that you can keep control of what is important to you.
The control but also the choice of the life you want to lead without constraint.
Build your self sufficiency.
It's a matter of survival.
