I used to be a courier. Now I'm bored and on the internet. Ask me a question.

I didn't manipulate anyone. I set rules. The people agreed with the rules. They acted as if they respected the rules as social norms.
The second I left, they reverted. The second a drug dealer took the vacant leadership role, they became addicts.
People really are worthless on their own.
And they "appeared" somewhat intelligent when given proper guidance to appear intelligent.
..and I'm literally referring to one project in this case, not a lifetime career of mine.
Quoting: TlvmmCpoft You manipulated the "authority bias." I've come across that in my life. Even when people know that something somewhere is very wrong, they don't want to rock the boat because they believe that to do so will cause them to be punished somehow by someone in authority. Or, they believe that somehow something good will come out of their doing wrong for someone in authority. Yes, this is widespread. It doesn't mean that people are stupid. It means that they don't want to mess with power. The only rule I gave to them - was no crack. They could have access to every other drug, and god knows they were flowing in, but there was no crack allowed over the lines into the neighborhood. Three years they followed it. Three years the residents did not do the drug. Mind you, I also had to negotiate with the local gangs to keep it on their side, but I assure you, keeping the crack money did not make them unhappy. Three weeks after I left, half the community was on crack. So, you were dealing with people who were already drug addicts? That bit of information makes a big difference. This is not about level of intelligence. I don't know. Do most recreational pot users become crack heads? I'll leave you to argue that one with the marijuana lovers.
