Social engineering at its finest.
If you want to better control outcomes and gather valuable bio metrics and induce physical and mental addictions, you have to control the economics. Economic statecraft has been happening since the beginning of time. With technology, it happens faster. Tic Tok is like a double dose of domine without the dirty social stigma of main lining that black tar. You still burn the algorithmic midnight oil, but it’s accepted, promoted and personalized.
Maybe it’s a bit like Marlboro commercials in the 70’s, or Red dye 3 across all that processed food. The difference being the systems which they operate. Over the last 248 years, the US system eventually checks and balances itself. People rise and fall, organizations come and go, good and bad exist, and human kind grows.
If you want to take advantage of a country or society, you would leverage some basic things to accelerate the process and muddy the water. Would you rather have your own government take advantage of you or a foreign government? The dynamism of the US….it is open and closed, centralized and decentralized, free and restricted all at the same time. The free markets attract good and bad actors.
Social Engineering Tactics
Leverage their current systems to your advantage, Copy and Reengineer
Legal systems, financial systems, social systems, educational systems, corporate structures, non-profits, and government bureaucracy.
Leverage what has been done before and make it better. Systems, process and products.
Human Intel, Ignorance is Bliss, Distract and Distort
Play on the lack of knowledge and awareness. Knowledge can be a powerful force in transforming the way we act and do.
Distract focus on the missions and goals and distort the ability to take risks.
Out Compete
A risk adverse society is bad for progress. If the mud is 2 inches thick, make it 10.
