Lesson
Modern influence does not require false information. All of these work on attention before they work on facts:
- selective disclosure
- repetition
- algorithmic amplification
- emotional activation
- identity pressure
- social proof
- saturation
- framing
- source laundering
- context removal
- artificial urgency
- coordinated reinforcement
Rule 1 asks why something reached you: sought, recommended, paid or amplified. Whoever controls the entry controls the tempo.
