Robert Cialdini is an expert in psychological manipulation, i.e., goal-oriented communication. (Something we all do, more or less successfully, whether we are aware of our own machinations or not.) He wrote the seminal book Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion. What you may not know is that Cialdini was, in many respects, a founding father of Game. He is cited by many well-regarded pickup artists, and his ideas, like “social proof”, percolate throughout the game literature. Game has had, from its inception. some pretty solid scientific, theoretical, and experiential backing.
Something else you probably don’t know: Cialdini was tapped, along with other renowned behavioral scientists, by the 2008 Obama campaign to help propel Obama to the highest office in the land.
Two weeks before Election Day, Barack Obama’s campaign was mobilizing millions of supporters; it was a bit late to start rewriting get-out-the-vote (GOTV) scripts. “BUT, BUT, BUT,” deputy field director Mike Moffo wrote to Obama’s GOTV operatives nationwide, “What if I told you a world-famous team of genius scientists, psychologists and economists wrote down the best techniques for GOTV scripting?!?! Would you be interested in at least taking a look? Of course you would!!”
Moffo then passed along guidelines and a sample script from the Consortium of Behavioral Scientists, a secret advisory group of 29 of the nation’s leading behaviorists. The key guideline was a simple message: “A Record Turnout Is Expected.” That’s because studies by psychologist Robert Cialdini and other group members had found that the most powerful motivator for hotel guests to reuse towels, national-park visitors to stay on marked trails and citizens to vote is the suggestion that everyone is doing it. “People want to do what they think others will do,” says Cialdini, author of the best seller Influence. “The Obama campaign really got that.”
The existence of this behavioral dream team — which also included best-selling authors Dan Ariely of MIT (Predictably Irrational) and Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein of the University of Chicago (Nudge) as well as Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman of Princeton — has never been publicly disclosed, even though its members gave Obama white papers on messaging, fundraising and rumor control as well as voter mobilization. All their proposals — among them the famous online fundraising lotteries that gave small donors a chance to win face time with Obama — came with footnotes to peer-reviewed academic research. “It was amazing to have these bullet points telling us what to do and the science behind it,” Moffo tells TIME. “These guys really know what makes people tick.”
Cialdini’s theories about the nature of human psychology and his influence on the American elite are evidence of the triumph of Game. Game has infused every facet of the body politic, not just the sexual organs. As CH has said many times already, if you can game a woman into bed you can game a boss into handing you a raise or a nation’s voters into electing you President.
That is the awesomely dark power of Game. And dark it is, because what is essentially remote control of another person’s executive brain function is the kind of power that irresistibly pulls one to malevolent ends.
President Obama is still relying on behavioral science. But now his Administration is using it to try to transform the country. Because when you know what makes people tick, it’s a lot easier to help them change.
You can thank Game for our first two-term halfling SWPL President and the nationalization of 1/7th of the economy. Now, if Game can do that, imagine what it can do on bored girls at bars yearning for a little excitement in their lives.
Some have said the 21st Century will be the age of biology. I think what we are entering is the age of Orwellian mastery over human psychology. Scarily, the two might be related. The power to shape people’s opinions and emotions through mere word and expression, and guide them to actions they may not have taken otherwise, is reaching an apotheosis that could be magnified a thousandfold coupled with the power to alter people’s genetic architecture.
If your eyes are open, you don’t have to look far to see foreboding signs of this new age of the human aquarium rising into view. Unaccountable secret government agencies using the internet to “manipulate, deceive and destroy reputations”. Your webcam commandeered by shadowy operatives. Cameras on every street corner. Cathedralsourced slanderswarms of crimethinkers.
Cialdini’s name has been found in NSA documents. I wouldn’t be surprised if the man himself is working for them.
Doubters can snark about “PUAs” to their hearts’ content, but the arc of recent history is proving that PUAs were at the leading edge all along. Will people listen only when it’s too late?

Yeah like punk Teenapers read newspapers.

Skip the book, watch the TedEx.
Agreed. I’m now glad I borrowed the public library’s copy of Predictably Irrational. It offers some very interesting findings, and practical conclusions, especially the chapter about keeping doors open, but now learning this about Dan Ariely makes me glad I’m not helping.
A 37 year old woman managed to convince everyone that she was pregnant. With quintuplets no less.

“How dare you call me fat?”
This explains why just being honest about the number of women you nailed helps you nail the next one. EVEN BETTER is if she sees you interacting with a past nailee.
Everbody’s doing… me.
Spot on.
I went out with a girl recently. Before the date, though, she asked how many people I had slept with. I didn’t reply to the text. Then she adds in a second text, “anything more than 11 is just too many for a guy. I couldn’t handle it.”
My reply?
“more”
She came over the next day, and apparently got into it with one of the other girls I’m seeing when she found out about her.
Eleven, yeesh.
Eleven over how long a time period? And suppose a guy has already slept with eleven – does that mean he is better for going years without having sex, so that the number is kept low? This is stupid reasoning.
Now, a certain number for someone who is very young, that is another matter. And a much lower number for women than for men.
Arbiter, “eleven” is just a shit test, and Reservoir Tip swatted it down.
It’s a shit test right up until:
#12 gives you Herpes
#13 gives you Venereal Warts
#14 gives you Hepatitis
#15 gives you antibiotic-resistant Gonorrhea
etc etc etc
There comes a point when folks can have WAY TOO MANY notches on the ol’ bed post.
I have well over 50 and never caught any of that stuff.
I’m 54, just bedded Miss# 27 two weeks ago and have never caught any of that…well…let me correct that, back in the 1980s I did get gonorrhea once but when I tell how it happened no one believes me.
All that happened was kissing and then she gave me a blow job in my car, that is it , absolutely nothing else happened and I had not been with a woman in months, so it had to be from her, the next day it felt like fire when I pissed.
The doctor gave me antibiotics and told me it was gonorrhea.( he did not do any test)
all but 3 of the women I slept with were long term relationships, I never was one for one night stands.
Miss #27 two weeks ago is/was long term material but she demanded I do her dishes after less than 2 weeks of dating, I said no, she told me that I had to get out of her house, I did.
I was going to give her the silent treatment but something happened, I had in my possession her hair clipper ( she had asked me to fix it, I can fix almost anything ) and since I was not answering her calls, after a few days she came knocking at my door but I did not answer.
but then she got mad and took my electric snow blower and put it in her car! so I then opened the door and told her calmly but with a firm tone; ” give me my stuff I will give you yours” but at this point she was seeing red, so she yelled stupid stuff at me and said she would sell my stuff.
She was out of control while I was very calm, and this seemed to piss her off more, she even threatened to call the police on me ( which does not make any sense at all )
so I figured I’d teach her a lesson, I called the police and told them she stole my stuff.
Have not heard of her since.
That’ll teach her to make a man leave her place simply because he will not do her dishes
20-30 years ago I would have done her dishes, I’m not that man anymore.
The reason she mentioned 11 is because that’s her own notch out.
Now she’s trying to tell me she wants to stay abstinent. She isn’t a virgin. She’s told me.
She’s trying to rope me in to commit.
Offer to pay for her hymenoplasty.
Once you start picking up chicks on almost weekly basis you really start to worry about stds. Two of my older friends from high school have contracted herpes since coming to college. Both females and they both sleep around from what I know about them. PUA’s need to strap up at all times. And those random bar make-outs, fuck that. Not worth the risk imho
And those random bar make-outs, fuck that. Not worth the risk imho
Of herpes, or getting a stage-five clinger? Gah.
Where do you find these nutjobs? First it was the Latvian, now Ms. Eleven.

I’ve been asked this question in different forms: “how many girls did you bang?”
“How many girls did you bang when we were broken up?”
I got asked this just before I was about to bang my ex gf after she’d met up with me during our first break up….
Me: “”Doesn’t matter…what matters is who the next girl I bang is…”
that stopped the line of questioning.
“TONS”.,,,, is another great answer….
Get more mileage from being mysterious. I actually prefer to answer no questions about myself — or as little questions as possible. For some reason it makes them divulge more and more about themselves. So when it comes to number, I never give a direct answer.
this is not news really. ABA is my pet hobby. I remember an article in some weekly rag (I think it was Time, but Im not certain) discussing this during his first election.
How Obama Is Using the Science of Change
By Michael Grunwald
Thursday, Apr. 02, 2009
http://iepecdg.com.br/uploads/artigos/090402_grunwald_behaviorial_obama.pdf
Ok so why do all these genius types go for…Obama? dont they,with all their incredible braininess,give a shit about the country? Dont they give a shit about the white race? I mean when we;re not in chrage,sometimes not nice things can happen. (Today a report of a black woman “falling asleep”–or zonked out on Snoop Lion weed—crashing her CTA train into a station and taking the train halfway up the escalator. What next,Malaysian drivers?)
McCain won the college edumakated White vote by 1% in 2008.
Romney improved upon that and won the college edumakated White vote by 18% in 2012.
So, increasingly, smart white folk just aren’t having any of this nonsense.
The problem is that, since 1965, The Frankfurt School has flooded this nation with so many of “The Other” that they almost don’t even need the White vote to win anymore.
Whites are about the only folk in all of recorded history who were ever able to see through this horseshit.
Everyone else – Asians, Negroes, Mexicans – are like silly putty in the hands of The Frankfurt School.
Ergo the need to continue to demonize the White Man at every possible opportunity.

Excellent speech. Thank you for posting that.
If you’re unfamiliar with the dark heart at the core of leftist ideals, you should listen to the whole thing.
Yo, I’m day drinkin like a purple smurf bitches!
No psy-ops will be necessary on you.
Why go psy-ops when you can go rye-hops?
wonder if there be some decent research done in how to identify and resist this kind of thing. not sure if it’s possible other than to identify and tune out, but who knows.
i guess it wouldn’t matter too much when 99% of people wouldn’t care to learn anyway. but it seems like the material and approaches are reasonable to spot if you’re looking.
They traget women and POC’s. (people of color,natch) The weakminded and stupid and narcissitic.
If you have the same kind of inner belief in yourself that another practitioner of game has, you won’t be led in I don’t think. There’s that old saying that charismatic people have no effect on other charismatic people.
It’s quite interesting because often it works even if you’re aware of it. There may be some sort of training out there, for people like spies, special forces etc. that can be applied?
“Because when you know what makes people tick, it’s a lot easier to help them change.”
Gotta love that; “help” them change. A true Orwellian touch, that.
Drop by again.

Nothing new.
Psychology has been the name of the game in our society for atleast a half century now. Business. Government. They’re all using it.
And it works.
One doesn’t need to look too far into it to gain value. Even knowing something as simple as Myers-Briggs gives you a leg up.
What’s your Myers-Briggs type? It would be interesting to see the distribution of personality types among CH readers. Probably many INTJ or other xNTx types.
I am INTJ myself, the most analytical type. It is rare in society, only three percent as I recall, but as a study showed, far more common among libertarians – i.e.among right-wing people who turn against the establishment, probably not just the ones calling themselves libertarians.
INTJ here (occasionally INTP depending on the test). INTx fuckers are waaay overrepresented on the internet, generally.
INTJ master race checking on. I’ve seen a few MB threads on /pol/ and the majority of then are INTJs and you don’t get more anti-establishment than /pol/
Hard INTJ here. Interesting that there are so many of us here.
Here is a test (50 questions)
http://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test
Verdict INTJ
Female INTJ. Do the math on that one. And yes, heavy libertarian.
Do the math? Care to multiply?
Titty pics or stfu.
Pretty much all female INTJs are going to be heavy.
IM a BDSOB
The only axis that matters in this case, and most others, is T/S. All other axes have virtues and vices balanced on each side, but S is all bad. It should stand for Stubbornly Stupid, not Sensing.
Although there is a case to be made that the MBTI term “Sensing” is equivalent to “Making shit up to feel better about yourself”, which would obviate the need for my redefinition.
Erratum: it’s the N/S axis I meant.
also intj, too many of us on da web..
“Although there is a case to be made that the MBTI term “Sensing” is equivalent to “Making shit up to feel better about yourself”, which would obviate the need for my redefinition.”
I don’t think you know what this means. Intuition is far more likely to lead to wacko theories like Marxism.
The T vs F is the more important axis.
All the other axes are false dichotomies. You can be strong on both ends.
I score nearly 0 for the T/F axis, which I take to mean a balance between Thinking and Feeling. On the E/I axis, it depends how much I’ve been drinking lately, or programming, or both. Rarely do I lean far to one side. For P/J, I always lean P, but it’s because I’m a dithering and feckless wish-washy namby, not because I don’t judge harshly.
I’m an ISTJ:
ISTJs are faithful, logical, organized, sensible, and earnest traditionalists who enjoy keeping their lives and environments well-regulated. Typically reserved and serious individuals, they earn success through their thoroughness and extraordinary dependability.
Sounds like basically the best sort of person.
Sounds like my natural enemy.
Also an INTJ.
I’m an INTJ, too.
INFP…which is to say… BETA
lol not really. ‘m INFJ and its infinitely better to have excess ability (or passion in this regard) then not have enough.
Think Sheldon Cooper when you interface with a INTJ….how hot is that for a girl?
It’s isnt. ergo they needed to develop a map and system to the problem (limited human emotional capacity) and viola…..game!
ENTJ or INTJ depending on whether I feel friendly, or like a complete dick. Sigma or lesser alpha type, FWIW.
INTJ here … did the Myer Briggs test to a girl two days after meeting her with the “Do you like psichology” line. After some talk and before the test I told her … I can see you are xNTx … not sure about those ones but I guess ENTP. I happened to be 100% correct.
ENTP relying on INTF since then
I got them mixed: INTP me … ENTJ her
ESTP
Good post
Human beings – the great masses of them – are sheep. They are much more malleable than anyone wants to admit.
We are not independent rational thinkers – on the whole. The masses respond best to those who – as that reprehensible human Hitler wrote – ” treat them like a woman.” They want to be led, they want to be fucked by those who are stronger.
Nietszche – ‘When you meet a woman, get the whip!’ This is what they respond to
Everyone should take a look at Roy Baumeister, another psychologist on par with Cialdini. He is a clear- eyed realist, but savvy enough to couch his dangerous views in PC enough
language.
Baumeister says some interesting things on “brainwashing”. Namely, it does work, and is being used as we speak on a widespread scale
At least you didn’t repeat that other propaganda line, that Hitler (sometimes changed to Goebbels in the story) was supposed to advocate the Big Lie Technique. When in fact, what he really writes in My Struggle is a warning against the Big Lie Technique, giving as an example how the socialist media attacked a conservative colonel, claiming that he caused defeats in WWI when the opposite was true, in order to neutralize him as a political threat. To lie and say that Hitler wrote a promotion of the Big Lie Technique when the opposite is true, is of course another example of the Big Lie being used. (The technique is: People think “no smoke without a fire” about big accusations, because they can’t imagine that someone would lie so completely. Only a psychopathic race controlling the media will do that. Another example is when nationalists are attacked by communists, and the media write about it as if the nationalists, called “racists”, had attacked innocent “critics”, never mentioning the communist groups.) People too dumb and selfish to read up on these things – like you – will believe anything the media owners write about Hitler, and never check up on it yourselves. Bleating little sheep indeed.
Basic stuff. Big lie = Jewish tactic, according to Hitler
And the little lie too: When Jesse Ownes won his first gold medal Hitler did NOT freak out and run out of the stadium. Total jew lie. He gave Owens the acknowledgement he gave every winning athlete. Thats what Owens himself said,but maybe we should believe the jew over him?
The Joo = lampshade and soap thing always struck me as hype.
Woah, it’s a Big Lie that Hitler advocated the Big Lie?? Mind blown.
To lie and say that Hitler wrote a promotion of the Big Lie Technique when the opposite is true, is of course another example of the Big Lie being used.
Jeez, Louise, where you guys been?
I made that statement about 8 months ago on this forum, which started a shitstorm from the erstwhile chateau JIDF minister Lily and her crew.
The Joo = lampshade and soap thing always struck me as hype.
Of course it was… and even THEY’RE admitting it now… some YKW history/sociology/whatever gal (whose name escapes me for the moment) who “debated” (or was it sued?) David Irving awhile back finally admitted there was no evidence beyond the hearsay of “survivors”… which meant no evidence at all… along with most of the other horror stories.
what if you brain is tiny?
Not a problem; some might say it’s even better. Sit down here and let me tell you about how you can get an incredible life with just a small effort every four years. Sure you can have some. You hungry? Looks great, doesn’t it.

Most men do not desire freedom but seek rather, a just master.-Mithradates VI
What is keeping the conservatives from employing these same tactics? A balance will be struck, through violent upheaval or reasonable capitulation. Meantime, game on, fellow game enthusiasts. And game your women away from feminism and the left.
To some degree you see it in conservative publications. Neocon rags are full of them, since they are of the same cloth as the Marxists. But overall the Right prefers a message based more on factual truth. The Right has the facts on its side, the Left has slurs and manipulative language to silence the facts. The Right honors factual truth because the Right is all about building, and you can’t close your eyes to reality when you want to explain how to build. The Left uses lies and manipulation because their ideology is focused on taking, and so what they need is short-term control of other people – firing up the masses and silencing the opponents. Since they don’t have to worry about building they don’t have to worry about getting economic facts right, or facts about social issues.
Though interestingly, as soon as communists are in power and don’t have to fire up mobs in order to take anymore, they always resort to conservative social policies. Because once firmly in power there is nothing more to take from others, and then they have to focus on building for the first time. That’s when you need to bring out the truth, such as that feminist ideas, drug use and homosexuality hurt society. The fact that all communists states turned socially conservative – heck, Ernesto “Che” Guevara even rounded up homosexuals to put them in labor camps where they could be forced to grow up – is a great indictment against the Left. One which they make sure to keep out of documentaries and school textbooks.
Exactly. We can’t win the culture wars if we don’t even bother to show up to the battlefield.
“What is keeping the conservatives from employing these same tactics? ”
The media. They will expose non leftists for doing the same things they provide cover to leftists for doing.
“…The media. They will expose non leftists for doing the same things they provide cover to leftists for doing…”
Bingo!
Obama has brilliantly gamed the press. He shows up late all the time, taps their phones, has people call and hassle the hell out of them if they don’t like a single line in a story. A subtext throughout the entire 2008 campaign was how the press felt slighted by and unappreciated by him.
And they’ll do whatever they can in their power to cover up every transgression and spin every story exactly the way he wants it spun.
This shit works.
He can only get away with it because the press wants him to. Gaming a willing party hardly takes brilliance.
Not an excuse. They own the old media, but we dominate the new media (Internet).
It’s mostly because you can only brainwash people who are susceptible to your message. You can’t brainwash devout Muslims to eat bacon off the bodies of Norwegian sluts as a holy pilgrimage instead of going to Mecca. The problem is that most of the Western world, or at least most of Europe, is fairly idyllic. We all mock Sweden, but most of it is an idyllic crime free place where you feel safe wandering about at night without even second thoughts.
Unless you grew up in a crap area, you were raped/beaten up by immigrants or you like thinking about things, you will not be susceptible to a right wing message outside the paradigm. Most people simply don’t feel the pain yet. The reason why conservatives prefer logic and facts is because the people who like thinking about things are the majority of people who are right wingers outside the paradigm as of yet. More and more people will feel the pain and you will start seeing emotional appeals.
The ruling politicians are masters of game, but game addressed to crowds is radically different than individuals because crowd psychology is radically different than individual psychology. The bible on crowd psychology was written by Gustav Le Bon in 1895: The Crowd. By their own accounts it was on Theodore Roosevelt’s bedside table, and dogeared by Mussolini. Lenin and Stalin took from it, and “Hitler’s indebtedness to Le Bon bordered on plagiarism” in the words of historian and Hitler-biographer Robert G. L. Waite. Sigmund Freud wrote a book discussing Le Bon, which we will quote from below, and Edward Bernays, the father of modern public relations, acknowledged his deep debt, as Goebbels did of Bernays’ reflected insights.
I’ve recently written a blog post describing how crowd think distorts modern science, never mind politics.
http://whyarethingsthisway.com/2014/03/22/why-are-the-pediatricians-so-confused-about-the-actual-state-of-the-scientific-literature/
Exactly how would a journalist know that all those leaders read the same book? What facts are presented for that? That’s what I thought. You have to think of what facts are offered for a claim in the media at all times.
Arbiter, I’ve seen discussion by serious profs re Roosevelt and Mussolini, and specific mentions of Stalin and Lenin. If you google you can find links. Hitler I’m quoting a particular book by an eminent Hitler-historian, plus its obvious if you read both Mein Kampf and Le Bon. Freud, you can look up the book, its free on kindle. Bernays, there’s video of him talking about it or see his book Propaganda. Likewise Goebbels, Bernays talks about it.
I think the danger is rather in underestimating the number of public leaders (both in front of the camera and behind it) who read it. I don’t know how anyone would or could aspire to lead the world and not read it. And I believe the publication in 1895 of The Crowd is what led to the demise of constitutional government in the US as elites who read it learned better how to exploit the masses.
How many of your sources are YKW?
Hitler and Goebbels knew the only effective measure against subversion was counter-subversion. Their enemies always initiated the subversion, they were just defending their people from psychological warfare. Obviously, you have to know the tactics of your enemies to defeat them.
Vigilant Citizen is also an excellent source for understanding how elites use mass media to manipulation the public:

“Will people listen only when it’s too late?”
Probably not. It’s too late and they’re still not listening. Lol
I thought Myers-Briggs was debunked or at least outmoded. At least that’s what my former employer said, right before they made us take it. Hah. I took it half-heartedly anyway and believe I received INTP.
The modern mathematical technique would be to not try to force a bunch of square pegs into round holes by pre-defining the types before the classification even began.
Instead, the modern technique would be to allow the statistics to determine their own classification by type.
To let the data speak for itself.
It’s one of many personality classification systems. As such, it can be useful as one of many tools in trying to understand humans. Not really debunkable.
And then, of course, there were the millions of phony ACORN votes that actually gave Obama the victory…
Yeah and some district got 100% of the votes for Obama, which is highly suspicious and as far as I know never happened before.
Yet the media swept that under the carpet…
Without the media – its accomplice – the left would not be so successful.

Robert is or at least was extremely beta..he started his search because he was so bad at saying “no” to people.
This is why our Republic was doomed once they started letting women and young people vote. Older men have a higher likelihood of seeing through BS.
For women, the electoral fever of voting for Obama was pure tingles.
The problem is that older men in power also have a higher likelihood of perpetrating the BS. Were you alive during the runup to the war in Iraq? Did you not see the silver-back grandpa gorillas in the White House lying their asses off to the global public to achieve their nefarious ends?
lmao. Oh, such a maroon. And a liar. typical left-wing b.s.-er.
Rape!
If only older men were voting before 9/11, there would have been armed people on the plane.
That being said, there would have been no reason to invade Iraq because we would have carpet bombed Baghdad and/or assassinated Hussein after he invaded Kuwait back in the early 90s.
What we did in Iraq and continue to do in Afghanistan isn’t fighting a war. It’s pure profiteering and accomplishing nothing except employing millions of contractors.

I know most of the commenters on here are conservative. However, I recently learned I should thank Obama. As someone who earns his livelihood off of the sale of cheap alcohol, Obama’s low-cost insurance, readily available food stamps, and other hand-out programs are putting extra dollars in the pockets of my customers, which makes it back to me.
It’s criminal that this post didn’t mention Edward Bernays, the father of public relations, and one of the 100 most important Americans of the 20th century.

It’s a shame you’re a fa99ot, too.
Rape!
nah this can’t be accurate. Everyone knows game only works on drunk slutty bar whores with low self-esteem, AMOGing only works on pussy beta bitches who aren’t big tough MMA fighting badasses who will punch you for talking to their girl, and that if you fake it people will always instantly be able to tell that you’re faking it and will shun hate and probably kill you because everyone can instantly see thru your deception.
People don’t just consistently naturally respond to specific stimuli in predictable ways, CH. Maybe you need to read some Jezebel or listen to the real alpha males here who didn’t need to learn game or listen to the women here who know NAWALT.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to eat McDonalds while I drink a glass of Coke and watch…shit what is it I’m supposed to watch tonight? I’d better google a top 10 list of the most popular tv shows because if a lot of people like something that means I should try to as well. Now don’t waste any more of our time telling us we’ll fall for silly “mind control” tricks…don’t you know I’m a badass alpha male and I’m immune to that? Brrr it’s cold, where’s my Adidas jacket…
You are a dark, dark man. I like it.

“That is the awesomely dark power of Game. And dark it is, because what is essentially remote control of another person’s executive brain function is the kind of power that irresistibly pulls one to malevolent ends.”

It all makes sense – this is pretty much how the Homintern has been winning so far. But let’s see Rightists take these techniques back.

Also when computer surveillance will be able to analyse people’s body language to gauge on a surface level, what they are thinking about. Of course it will all be about making you safe!
