The Art of Manipulation

The majority of the time manipulation has a horrific reputation to its name, it is usually being perceived as the act of controlling dishonestly, having hidden interest or gaining self-interest by sacrificing others. However manipulation has its benefits when it is used for a higher cause, manipulation is regularly characterized as a shape of have an impact on that is neither coercion nor rational persuasion. Manipulation is a step-by-step technique, of hacking a person's psyche and stimulating his or her pursuits to acquire effects, be it for better or worse. This procedure can be done through internal cues, however, manipulation mostly starts from exterior cues is the entry gate to suggestive phase.

B.F. Skinner an American psychologist, behaviourist, author, inventor, and social philosopher argued that humans don't really think, because they merely respond to environmental cues. He came up with various therapeutic techniques including operant conditioning, this treatment is beneficial for the treatment of disorders like phobias and addictions. His studies on the connection between external stimuli and observable behaviour and rats led to his famous Skinner box or operant conditioning chamber. It is an enclosure equipped with levers electrified floors and food pellets allowing for the precise measurement and control of experimental conditions. Where does that depart freewill due to the fact we all suppose we have a preference whether or not to do matters or not to do things? To which Skinner answered saying “yes well you see we leaves it in the position of a fiction we have assumed somehow or other that these internal states, feelings and so on have initiated something they have, started something they have created .we have done something about in a voluntary way, we have will to act, if you now look at the actual history we find that there are external reasons why this has happened in other words by discovering the causes of behaviour we can Dispose of the imagined internal cause we dispose of free will as an American

Divine of the 18th century Jonathan Edwards did, he said we believe in free will because we know about our behaviour

But not about its causes and of course it's the object of a science of behaviour to discover causes And once you have found those causes there is less you need to attribute to an internal actor will and eventually I think there's nothing to it.”

If you didn’t understand what the ol fella said, he just said that you are trapped in your own head no matter what you think. Nothing in this world is original, everything is a very elaborate escape from plagiarism.

In the field of psychology manipulation is something as common as air. It is like a dual sided blade, there is a chance your therapist is doing it to you or even your patient to you. It is very prominent weapon most sociopaths use. Check out my other posts for detailed case files on crime and criminals.

Now since you have an idea of how powerless you are, how about I gift you one. “APORIA” there you go that’s a start. Aporia simply means an irresolvable internal contradiction or logical dis junction in a text, argument, or theory. The ability to create doubt is the equivalence of a gladiator losing his shield in a fight. Humans rely so much on things that they have lost the ability to fend for themselves. You were dependent on a watch for and now it’s a phone, you’re dependent on an umbrella for the ability to move during a rain. The same happens in your head. You were all taught as child that the earth is round and elliptical, but then suddenly a man made you doubt the education system you were taught in (he knocks of your shield) and when you doubt the very existence of your scholarly knowledge, he says that the earth is flat and shows off some facts or theories (he has executed his attack), and voila you just manipulated person into being a complete idiot and disappointment to the human race. Manipulation is as simple as that.

But like every other thing you’ve read today, what if I have you under my manipulative powers. Who knows, time will tell.
