Play on people’s need to believe to control them from "summary" of The 48 Laws Of Power by Robert Greene
Exploiting people's yearning for something to believe in is a potent tool for manipulation. When individuals are searching for meaning or guidance, they become vulnerable to those who offer them a source of certainty. By presenting themselves as authorities on a subject or as possessing special knowledge, manipulators can easily gain control over others who are desperate for a sense of direction. This tactic is often used by cult leaders, political demagogues, and charismatic charlatans who prey on the gullibility of their followers. By tapping into people's insecurities and fears, these manipulators create a narrative that promises salvation or enlightenment. Once individuals are captivated by this narrative, they become willing to surrender their autonomy and critical thinking skills in exchange for a sense of belonging and purpose. In order to maintain their hold over their followers, manipulators must continuously feed them with new beliefs and ideals to keep them under their spell. This cycle of deception and control creates a dynamic where the manipulator is able to dictate the thoughts and actions of their followers without question. Any dissent or skepticism is quickly dismissed as heresy, further solidifying the manipulator's power over their followers.- Those who play on people's need to believe to control them are able to create a self-reinforcing system of manipulation where their followers are kept in a perpetual state of dependence and submission. By exploiting their vulnerabilities and manipulating their beliefs, these individuals are able to wield an immense amount of power over those who are desperate for something to believe in.
