Great description of the freeze/thaw method. I think it's fair to say that most of us are not acclimated to the idea that truth can be used as a weapon. Those of us who place supreme value on truth are inclined to cheer whenever we see it appear in the world without giving a second thought that it could be used to psychologically manipulate the masses. Honestly, it's such a blind spot and that makes it very dangerous.

What I want to know is when will the day come when we can no longer fear manipulation? When will we be able to trust each other without having to run this parallel algorithm that searches for ulterior motives in our fellow man? Is such a thing even possible for us?

Thanks for taking us all to church on Harrelson, Tom. Never knew about his old man. Good stuff!
