Objectively speaking they're the same. However if I use the term manipulation people will shy away from it because we are lead by our emotions not reason (proof below). It's my position that we have to embrace this concept due to the philosophical implications of human nature as discussed in a previous post. Yes I can. The concepts of us being driven by emotion rather than reason, morality as a concept derived from feelings, and a number of other things I referenced during our PMs were discussed in great detail by Jonathan Haidt in his book Righteous Mind. Since you made a reference to Haidt and morality I was under the impression that you had read the book. I highly recommend you get a copy of his book; our PM conversation will make so much more sense to you once you've read the book, I promise. I apologize for the mix-up; that one's on me. In addition you can also watch Stefan's conversations with Scott Adams on Youtube (video 1 & 2). The idea of irrationality is a recurring theme in their discussions. Stefan doesn't and hasn't as of yet fully embraced this topic (you can frequently see the emotional discomfort on his face while discussing the concept of irrationality with Scott Adams) because of the philosophical implications of accepting these facts; ie they would contradict a number of his previous stances including UPB into which he's invested many years of his life. Also note that I'm not ignoring your other comments by not choosing to answer them at this point in time. Once you've familiarized yourself with the material listed above we can re-visit these issues.

I see. Psychopaths got that too. Would you say they are also highly emotionally intelligent? Maybe it's your definition I'm not following right... What's your definition? The part where you claim: (1) and (2) For the record, I know for a fact (long time listener) that here, one of your examples shouldn't have been mentioned in the first place. But maybe this was a terrible misunderstanding and you'll clear it up, leaving no space for second thoughts... - - - 21.09.2018 - - - Howdy 'doorbell enthusiast' (voter without merit), Have you missed this before? Still 0 arguments, just random arrows... From hiding... Isn't that coward or perhaps inept, maybe both?

You should understand by the way you pose the question that you're an ideologue, not a philosopher.
