Plain-english demystification of powerful mental manipulation tactics and some practical antidotes to counteract them through meditation.https://twitter.com/immeasurablemat/status/958538626912092160 …

Worth noting that this stuff happens, nearly everywhere, even without any explicit ‘manipulation tactics’ - just properties which are co-emergent with ‘spheres of human interaction’. [Closely related to process-relational thought of Whithead, Sloterdijk, neo-ritual theory too.]

I’d say your right to an extent, but whether or not tactics like this are used with conscious intent, the result of using them ascribes intentionality to their agents.

Personally, I have no intention to blame unintentional agents - it's just how the world works - but I can see how one might do that. Given the fact that these tactics may be applied with intent, do you agree that similar dynamics also emerge as natural features of systems, too?

I don’t follow your second remark and question, say more?

I'll try In the same way that a person/group may use manipulative tactics with explicit intent, do you also see how similar results may occur as a natural feature of human interaction? The credit bubble example illustrates this well. This isn't about blame, just patterns/order.
