In the episode Jack of All Trades, Lizzie's lil bro decides he's gonna change his name and start dressing like Snoop Dogg Instead of not allowing it, the parents cook up a scheme: they change their names too, start acting like Snoop and play into the game much to Matt's chagrin

This eventually causes Matt to suggest everyone change back to normal when things get out of hand, and Lizzie admires their finesse: they shaped his behavior as she says "without humiliating him, and the whole time they respected his boundaries as an individual"

This points at something really close to how I think about how we can work to make each other better, elevate each other without reducing agency, ask the right questions in earnest to empower folks to reflect and grow

There's some dangerous territory that way when you get really good at this kind of manipulation (because it's totally manipulation, which is not inherently bad despite its memetic baggage) Lizzie refers to it as "jedi mind tricks" and she's not wrong...

Jedi mind tricks are all cool and stuff when you're convincing someone not to smoke death sticks, but the Sith were all Jedi at some point too...

Also something here about gathering the right Jedi around you that you can trust to play the right mind tricks on you
