Side note: it's manipulation either ways because you chose what to talk about, with a goal in mind.
- KajMagnus 2mo agoActually, no. "Manipulation" is a negatively loaded word, and you wouldn't use that word if f.ex. someone helpfully & truthfully helps others see they've misunderstood sth.
- richardfey 2mo agoI disagree. Whether something is manipulation depends on whether you are trying to change someone’s opinion or behavior, not on whether the manipulator has “good” or “bad” intentions, since those judgments are not objectively universal.
