"who said anyone was interested in social engineering in the first place. the only people i've ever heard say that the left aree, exclusively, the social engineers were people who self identified as conservatives. as such, the label and assumptions behind it are already suspect."
---------------------------
i am interested in it because lots of people all over the globe do social engineering all the time. i like to follow the intended and the actual effects.
correct, social engineering, i.e., intentionally changing people's behavior patterns within some environment, wherever that may be, can occur from the Right, Left, Center, etc. happens all the time by people who have power, e.g., ED, DOL, HHS, WTO, IRS, OPEC, CCP, USSR, parents, etc.
strange, unexpected things often happen when social engineers make little changes and stranger things happen when they make BIG changes. anyway, that's what i see.
