when hunting the hooman you must keep in mind its two main fears: 1/ the fear of thinking for itself 2/ the fear of being accused of not thinking for itself that is, it wants to FEEL special, but does not actually want to BE "special"

it achieves this through being slightly "more" than "everyone else". ahead, not orthogonal. this manifests as constant Envy just as a con man cannot con an honest man, you cannot hunt an unenvious hooman, they are too dangerous

the envious hooman however can be tricked just as the con man cons the mark simply tell it exactly what to do to get what it wants because it will inevitably add in some "magic spice", it will fuck up its own plans by overreaching

it cannot simply take the advice because then it would be copying you. by pre-emptively offering advice you can goad the hooman into reclaiming its specialness by using specialness as the bait in your trap it will tangle itself up in its own self-produced complexity
