About high school - I was the same way, I did not join any real cliques - however, I got a long with everyone. I could be around any group, and it would be alright. For the most part -

About the man in the expensive suit - a lot of the world around us, is symbols and sigma - its the world that binds ideas together between people - they consolidate ideas into subgroups and then symbolism them into a package - its interesting when you look at advertising, because people that are the most responsive to advertising are the people that wear designer gear - I would say, at pretty good chances, that they respond to hypnosis very well as well. If someone trained as a very serious person without any social beliefs of good and evil - they could turn people like that, even if they were an army of one, into slaves.

Its like magician at the party who is hungry, and inserts the idea of buying a pizza into people's mind without those people knowing it. Next thing is they are buying the pizza - but the ideas are not theirs, its because the real magician, implanted that idea. If people were watching this being done on a hidden camera show - they would probably think this person doing this was manipulative - and they are. But this is advertising works. But you talk about the single individual doing this and they are called a magician. By the way, the free pizza can be done, just for ref, by someone with knowledge and just bringing up or telling stories about eating pizza, and even maybe eating pizza with celebrities that those at the party like - just like advertising - you will find that in social groups, people are very palatable to giving strangers things, buying them things, if there is a slight chance that they might get closer tot he people they admire - just like advertising. People with the skills, and who don't care, can really get people to do and think anything - turn them into mind control slaves. But of course, that is the entire world we live in - when a corporation / big tech does this day in and day out - its just advertising.

Thanks!
