So you think you're the author of your thoughts, decisions, and acts...
Or, more probably, you're sure you're the author of your lack of thoughts, decisions and acts...
Blissful innocence...
So I remind you that behind your back, not for years, nor for ages, but almost since the beginning of time, there are those who study how to put blinkers and a leash on you.
And that obviously there's no better way to remotely control you than convince you it is you who decide, and you're not being remotely controlled by anyone.
So let's be serious.
“To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle.”
George Orwell
Ask yourself why.
Good pursues Life, Life follows the laws of the universe in which it takes place, and truth is the way things are; consequently, Good pursues Life through truth.
Evil pursues death, death violates the laws of the universe in which it takes place, and the falsehood is the way things are not; consequently, Evil pursues death through falsehood.
The place where truth and falsehood clash is conscience.
The fundamental purpose of all social engineering is very simple: substituting falsehood for truth in your conscience. Once this hole has been made in your hull, water can get in and cause you to sink.
Anyone who wasn’t born yesterday wouldn’t believe it, but since the very term "social engineering" has itself been the subject of social engineering, we need to start from scratch: from its definition.
Social engineering, TRUE definition: the science (study) and technique (application) of controlling the masses – that is, of determining what others, as a whole, are, feel, think and do, and of convincing them that they are the ones making those decisions – or, better still, persuading them not to even dream of questioning it.
Social engineering, FALSE definition: how to trick people online.
When someone redefines "ocean" as "the amount of water contained in a glass" rather than "the amount of water that covers 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface", I’ll leave it to you to decide what crime they should be held accountable for…
By comparing the TRUE and FALSE definitions of "social engineering", it becomes clear why someone created and promotes the false one:
To get the real one out of the way.
To avoid any misunderstanding, it is worth clarifying that the social engineering covered here is the one based on its true definition.
The study of social engineering produces its application: the social engineering techniques. Let it be clear that the techniques listed here are intended merely as a selection, not least because anyone familiar with the game of "guards and thieces" knows that such a list could never be exhaustive.
