on hpmor: harry seems to be very manipulative but almost in a textbook kind of way. I take it eliezer got this from somewhere but cannot figure out where. I'd love to read more about this, could it have come from "the strategy of conflict"?
Cheers
I haven't read Strategy of Conflict, but I have read Robert Cialdini's book Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, which Harry name-drops a couple of times and uses several techniques from. I'd guess that that's some of what you're seeing.
For future reference, though, it's considered polite to confine free-floating HPMoR discussion to the Methods threads, the most recent of which appears to be here. There have been a few Methods-related threads since, but all with narrower scope.
Thank you. I had read the Methods threads but these seemed mostly to discuss the plot of the books. Anyways, message received, will update accordingly.
