There is a kind of counter intelligence tactic that I'm trying to figure out the term for.
Imagine you knew your boss was watching you, but your boss didn't know you were aware of him watching you. So you start acting a certain way to project the image of yourself, as an employee, that you want your boss to see.
What is this called in counter intelligence? I know there's a term, but I cannot remember the name; using secret knowledge of somebody spying on you to further your goals without them realizing.
Manipulating the weak minded.
Also a superset of the specific behavior, IMHO.
Brainfucks. Use them on all the people above you and below you. Walk into the grocery store brainfucking.
Meaning, dont be gray man. Be alpha. Walk tall. Scan all situations. Listening, an art.
I've learned that eyeball to eyeball talking, scares the shit out of the weak minded, so try that.
Listening, the art, opens up all kinds of avenues. Did you know a human brain can think 10 times faster than it can talk? Everyone takes that time to form a response. Instead, study and eyeball and actually listen. They blow up before your eyes.
