I agree with this thread completely. However I believe there are some other good ways of "hacking" a person. Primarily I would like to add that In psychology there is the theory of the pleasure principal. People with ID driven personalities are easier to take control of because of this principle. They will do whatever it takes to be happy and will not think about later consequences. I recommend identifying a persons personality and if you can recognize that use it to your advantage. Remember they live in the now dont make promises for later they wont care.

I've got two books on my reading list about this. This kind of thing really interests me. I'll definitely be experimenting with this. Tongue
Are there any good first scenarios you would suggest?

I could suggest you the book named "The Art of Deception" written by Kevin Mitnick. I'm sure you'll find what you need there Smile

"The Art of Deception" is not a book... it's a bible! :Ambivalent:

The article you have written is Ok, unfortunately one of my passion is psychology so there are some pro and contras. Firstly example/steps you tolled take to much time, sometimes happens that you jest need to have that person at you fingers in that moment, and are some better ways, much better ones. Something to think about, try to find most frequently weaknesses that people have, and compare theme with each other. You will see that the most weakness, are most the common ones, obviously, so saying that mens that the majority of the people has kinda the same pressure points. And what you've said about love, hmm.. is-ant that true, if what you say was true means that people that are in love have complete confidence on their partner, and that it just is-ant true. To really understand those things you first need to know biology (how the brain works). Then you need to understand difference between constient, subconstient, inconstient and exactly what they are. To give you a short explication i will say that constient are the thoughts that you control, subconstiet are the automatic tasks that you do every day, inconstient, now becomes very interesting, because there is just chaos, and here can be introduced the theory of chaos, that somehow there is order in chaos that we are unable coper-hand. And to point out something ales, it seed that the first opinion you make about a person in fake, but if you develop your empathy you will be like 98-99 % accurate. And about protection from this kind of abuse is very easy, the most evident one is to control you feelings/emotions and you can do that by meditations.

Reading the comments I've just rememberer a nice experiment called The Luciferic Efect by Philip Zimbardo, It's about how "good" people could turn bad, it was done on some students from a university.

I don't claim to be a master of psychology or SE or anything else. What is shared there is just my observations and experiences.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback Smile
