It's interesting TNE wrote about using emotion to wake people up. Themistocles successfully convinced the Greeks to build up their Navy to fight the Persians at sea. He KNEW they would attack by sea but couldn't convince anyone else. He played on people's emotion to get the funding necessary to build the Navy.

To Dysgenic's point, manipulation isn't ALWAYS used to harm the people being manipulated.

Remember That!
