Not to be confused with "power", influence can be broken down into two dimensions. First we have "direct" influence which is "I tell you to do something. You do the thing I tell you to do." The motivating principle can vary and include Monetary gain (I pay you to do things), status (You respect me or my station and want to please me), allegiance (We are on the same team and/or I have elevated status within a group). Secondly we have "indirect". This happens when a "credible source" posits a "school of thought" or a "framework of conceptualization". As soon as an individual accepts the framework; they are effectively "under the influence" of the source (albeit indirectly) and will then act out the tenets of the framework without needing to be told what to do. This influence can be Benevolent, Malevolent, or Benign.
Iam "Ok. So, yeah. That, I think, kind of vaguely ties into the 'influence' concept that I've been trying to flesh out (i.e. Purple-Man theory). So, let's say I posit a "framework of conceptualization". I outline the tenets of the framework and you accept it as "truth". This framework (now) becomes the lens through which you view the world and you will likely act out the framework and the tenets as outlined without the need for me to use "direct influence". This raises several questions. The first of which being 'Are you the framework you've adopted or the ego that adopts the framework'? You could also ask 'to what degree does the framework usurp the ego (if at all)'? So... I guess we'll start there."
Hym "They are the framework. That's the presupposition of the NPC (Non-Player Character) nomenclature that I coined in the earlier stages of my work. By adopting the framework you become the framework and act it out completely."
Iam "Well, no... Not entirely. There is always some deviation from the framework and through argumentation and conversation you can get people see the nuance that exists outside of the framework."
Hym "But they always default to the framework after the conversation ends. We've seen it many times. Cognitive dissonance prevents the actor from adding or subtracting from the initial framework."

Get the Influencemug. Then I'm going to deliberately misinterpret the events that transpire and even falsified my interpretation of events.
Retard "If you're going to insult my intelligence-"

Get the If you're going to insult my intelligencemug. Hym "Hey, maybe if he does what YOU did to become champion and he does a bunch of steroids, maybe Kevin Holland WILL be a champion. Who knows!? You did a bunch of steroids you fucking idiot. You did the steroids. Got caught. And then fucking LOST you fucking bum. You went on Joe Rogan talking about how fucking great you felt you fucking asshole. What the fuck is wrong with you."

Get the Kevin Hollandmug. I'm not taking credit for anything. I'm asking YOU what's happened here. And I'm not getting an answer.
Hym "I'm asking the question. That's all I've ever done. I just woke up here."
Iam "This is kind of sad... What would the world be like if I hadn't said anything?"

Get the Askingmug. You are trying to make it and argument about what is or is not justify and it's going to cost you one of your kids. Stop do it.
Hym "And I can just as easily say there's no justification for what you're doing but I'm not going without the credit or the money. Being mealy-mouthed about what constitutes doing vs saying or arguing about what is or is not justified is not going to alter in any way the fact that you are steal from me and I just don't have to let you do it for free. Until money hits a bank account that I control and it fucking stays there until I die there is no reason to let your kids live and I'm not going to. I'm not struggling with the rest of you because I don't have to. And you do have to pay me. I will make you pay. You need to concern yourself with the people who don't have a stake but are still in the way."

Get the Justificationmug. You know...
Hym "I have a smudge on my phone that looks like a side profile of Trump... Or at least I did.... That is all... I mean, it's profound really. Like the Jesus toast except it's finger grease on a phone screen... That's the kind of stuff you don't see while you're watching this... Damn. Why is it so fucking hot in here? It's insane how hot it is. It's like a half-asian jew-lover bent over a pool table up I this bitch... Yeah, the heat is all the way down... Fuck..."

Get the Smudgemug. I earned it by doing it. You don't want to give me the credit because it means I don't have to adopt or even accept your values. This is you being a petty charlatan and nothing more.
Hym "So he DID die before you decided to accept your own failure. It isn't unearned. I DIDN'T HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU WANT TO GET IT... So NOW... You don't want me to get it. That is all. I'm not going to work my way up to something I've already achieved. You are going to get someone's kid killed. I am not negotiating."
