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 Influence mug.Iam "Ok. Influencer. Alright. So, what was my second question?"
Hym "Something about 'To what degree does the framework of conceptualization that a person adopts replace expression of the ego?'."
Iam "Ok. So, you said it was 'entirely'."
Hym "Correct."
Iam "Well, that can't be true. Take a political framework, say, a generic liberal frame. That's something that would only be acted out in a social setting. You're not acting out your political frame while you're walking your dog or making a sandwich."
Hym "True. But every social interaction would still be filtered though the lens of your liberal framework. And if you look at apolitical frames like the "red pill" framework of conceptualization; it would (likely) govern how you spend your time outside of your social interactions. How frequently you act out the framework would relate to the tenets of the framework. For instance, the "red pill" frame has tenets regarding 'self-improvement'. You would act those outside of social interaction."
Iam "You can self-improve without adopting the tents of someone's framework of conceptualization."
Hym "Can you? Would you? Without adopting someone else's value system that posits that 'self-improvement is a good thing to spend your time doing'? Plenty of people don't."
Iam "Well... I don't know. We're running out of characters and I'm tired. We'll come back to it.."

that nigga okbusta influenced duwap to make hellhound! Even Sofaygo AND Tuwop to make mileage remix! Some even say he made the song before carti but allowed him to use such beat. SOME SAY he made the melody and Pierre Bourne took the credit!
