    I had a con artist who was my best friend for years. He said the secret is not to lie to anyone but to get people to lie to themselves. It's the person who lies to themselves or as who are naive that makes the con work.

    i think that people who manage to be emotionally detached but, cognitively attached and always put reason and critical thinking above their emotions then, it is almost impossible to fall victims.
    Con artists exploit emotional vulnerabilities and that's it.

    It works both ways: you can ‘see through them’ too…
    Maybe not when you’re young & understandably naive, but an expected maturity can be expected to thwart that…
    … that’s part of ‘maturing’… getting wiser… & seeing through scams & manipulations even if inconsequential.
    One thing I’ve noticed is how unhinged ‘con artists’ get when you play them…
    … when you intuitively ‘read them’, & ‘play them out’… even if it’s just a pushy salesperson.
    They invest THEIR time & energy in ‘playing you’… & usually get really bent when they realize you just strung them out, ‘wasting’ their time & energy…
    … & I’ve literally had ‘cons’ say that in great agitation…😆…

    I find that con artists can talk a good game at first, but the more you probe their knowledge of anything they say, the excuses start to come out. This is especially true if they speak about something well within your domain. Are you educated about computer science or IT? Good. Ask them their thoughts on the limitations of TCP/IP which is a trivial thing that any intern should know, but only a master with real experience can talk at length about and not falter for even a moment. It is easier for a con artist to legitimately have a career if they took enough care to master entire subjects JUST so that they can con. It' like a con artist spending 8 years to learn enough medical knowledge to become a doctor just to schmooze and bamboozle prospective pharmaceutical drug companies for early access to drugs going through FDA approval to sell on the street. Like WTF. You can just make equal to or greater money just doing the thing you are "qualified" in for real. Con artists have such large egos that they forget that they themselves are not infallible and can be played just like anyone else whether accidently or intentionally.

      It’s disheartening to think about how much time and effort con artists put into learning just enough to deceive others, rather than using their talents for genuine growth and contribution. Your insight into how easily their facade can crumble under scrutiny sheds light on the importance of authenticity and integrity in our professional lives. It’s a stark reminder that true expertise is more valuable than the illusion of it, and it’s painful to see how some choose to navigate their lives through manipulation.

    Even con men get conned. That's what's funny. You want to trick a trickster pay attention to what they want. They will tell you by what they focus their attention on when nobody is looking.
    But counterintuitively the strongest defense against being conned is the realization that you can be conned.

    Very well said, great video. And thank you for doing this, tell humans what we need to know to avoid these people. Charisma, yes, I knew a ghost that wore a suit of charisma a few times.
    Something I learned from experience with someone a few years ago is that you should remember these cons have no shame, they'll pretend anything for money. So when someone tells you a sad story, even if it checks out, it can still mean they're exploiting that story to get something out of you. I've found that one way to deal with this, without going completely cold on anybody remotely sus, is setting clear boundaries. Sure, they can tell you their story, but they don't determine how long, you keep your story very bland and you don't give them money. And if people press on when you tell them no: see it as a violation and quietly let them get on their way. Ever since I started doing that it gets better and easier to do. I used to get very angry about it when I'd see it and call them out. Not a good idea. It's much better to just let them move on to their next mark.

      Do you have a multi part program for emotional stability I can purchase for 4 easy payments? Or is this outreach for the church of Scientology? All of these things can be applied to advertising. You never bought some junk product off an infomercial, or Amazon, or Temu? You didn’t buy into The Secret and expected to manifest everything on your vision board? Emotional stability and evil have nothing to do with any of this, whatever level of optimism you have about any particular thing someone will try to exploit it to get over on you. How many people think they have met this great person, only to find out they are a cheater and liar, I’ve seen it happen after years of marriage. That person happily married with a family thinks they have emotionally stablity too, then they find out the kids aren’t theirs and their spouse gave them the clap. Our society would collapse if there weren’t con artists and suckers. No one would work if they were told out right, the company is going to profit many times over for your labor, you will be passed up for pays rises and promotions time and time again, and the benefits promised to you at time of hire are going to be consistently scaled back, then we are going to fire you after you put in a few decades with the company right after you train this person fresh out of college that is already making more money than you.

    Dear Mr Aware: under the assumption that money has a value based on faith like a religion... is inflation real or even necessary, would people even really notice extra money in the market or is inflation their to create tension?

    • @ArtificiallyAware
      @ArtificiallyAware  Місяць тому +1

      @billylion3073 The premise that money has value based on faith is quite relevant. Indeed, the value of money relies heavily on trust in its ability to serve as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and a store of value. This belief is often referred to as "fiat" money because it doesn't have intrinsic value; its worth comes from collective trust and government backing.
      Now, regarding inflation, it is indeed a real phenomenon. Inflation occurs when the overall level of prices rises, which typically happens when the money supply grows faster than the economy's capacity to produce goods and services. Inflation can often be seen as a consequence of government intervention in the economy, particularly through central banking policies that manipulate interest rates and control money supply.
      While some level of inflation may be viewed as necessary for economic growth-allowing prices to adjust and enabling borrowers to benefit from lower real interest rates-excessive inflation can erode savings and create uncertainty, leading to tension in the economy. High inflation can distort price signals, making it harder for individuals and businesses to make informed decisions.
      In terms of noticing extra money in the market, while inflation might not be immediately apparent to everyone, its effects tend to manifest in reduced purchasing power. People may notice that their money doesn't stretch as far as it used to, or that their savings lose value over time.
      Ultimately, while inflation can create some superficial short-term benefits, such as reducing the burden of debt, it often leads to significant long-term consequences including economic instability and loss of trust in the currency.
