They say 'Men are creatures of habit' and a lot of other things but men, even with all their logic and reason are still easily manipulated.
Influence and the hidden hand at work is not a subject many men talk about or are interested in. As the saying goes, 'it is easier to fool someone than to convince them they've been fooled' because hey, no one wants to be the fool, right? Not willingly that is, although damn near once a week if not everyday, through the media we are made aware of some trickery, some scheme, some new scam or to simply tell us that what we believed to be true before was never really true at all.
One of my favorite interest of late is cataloging and archiving instances of manipulation, influence, deception and how it works because, when I was asleep, I was drifting along like a dead fish downstream. Now since waking up and taking the 'red pill' as they call it, it feels like I'm going against the grain. I can see it, yet others around me cannot.
How is this so? The answer to that question is a very long and highly detailed answer. I've sought that answer and found it. When I speak with others, if it relates, I share it with them. Whether they take interest in it as I have or not, the answers go with them, even if out the other ear. lol
I bring this up because men should know about manipulation and influence. How it works and how to pull themselves from under it's spell. For the man who wants power over himself and his organic mind back, this is a subject that must be studied and looked into further. By doing so, he will no longer be a victim in a game he didn't know he was involved in.
Anyways this article I wanted to share talks about social media manipulation, I'm sure you'll learn many great things about networks, influence, ideas, distribution, ecosystems, gate-keepers, mind-control, and much much more should you go down the rabbit hole!
Here it is, enjoy!
