From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.
I craved the strength and certainty of blessed steel.
Lead a topic by stating something the subject will agree with.
Transition into a restatement of whatever it is but altered slightly and with a rhetorical question leading into agreement. Isn't that right?
If you're slow and careful about this you can get someone to concede to ANYTHING.
It's exactly how they took away your freedom. One slight overreach at a time. Inch by inch. Every statement only slightly different from what preceded it until one day you wake up and every single government building you walk into, you leave your rights at the door...
When they can't prove anything is wrong with you.
They'll just paint you as a dysfunctional person anyway.
And if we go deeper, the power of suggestion is pretty powerful.
Tell someone they have a stutter every day and there ya go... now they stutter.

The majority of people have a problem saying no. You can use this to your advantage.
Instead of "Are you busy" ask "Are you available". "How much" "How little" etc.
If you use a negative you can get someone to think more about a question.
"Should I not keep sharing psyche trade secrets?".
Some other freebies.
-You can get someone to hand you anything or hand them. Just ask them a question and towards the end of it reach out your hand just below their eyesight. Practice the timing for different types of people, different kinds of objects. I've traded 5 things for 1 before and the person didn't notice until I told them to go ahead and put that stuff away for me.
-Giving a stranger something as small as a pencil makes you their new friend because you did them a 'favor'. You can twist and exploit this one for inordinate gain. Cash in that pencil for a free ride to work everyday. It's not about harping on the supposed favor, but quickly sparking a positive relationship with someone. A few mundane acts makes them feel like they owe you, why do they owe you? because you did a lot for them, why would you do that? because we are good friends.
-I struggle with this a lot because I think very concretely. But absolutely wage war with peoples emotions. Frame every bad thing as literally Death and everything you like as the second coming of Jesus... Most effective thing you can do. Sheep.
