Less persuasion needed that way, that's for sure. You're just taking someone and giving them what they want, with your goals as their goal.

... Quite the neat, hands off way of getting stuff done.

[dotcom]

Mm. Even if it pains me to give them any sort of compliment.

[aubins]

It goes without saying the smarter move would be to not do any of what they're doing, I think.

[dotcom]

It would be.

But I think if you're at the level of desperation to accept that kind of deal, whether or not something is the smart choice doesn't matter.

[aubins]

I expect you're right. Makes it worst though, doesn't it? If they're seeking out people intentionally when they're at their most desperate.

[dotcom]

Mm.

It's part of why, no matter what they say, they're not actually trying to change the world for the better.

[aubins]

They just think they are. Which is a dangerous mindset to have.

[dotcom]

Mm. Well, we have had people with similar viewpoints here, like Fukuda, I guess.

[ since he thought he was ""helping"" ]

... but I'll deal with Adonis, so it'll be fine.

[aubins]

No one else is really in a position too. Apart from I guess Mineo?

[ hm. ]

Wonder who else out there has a hidden mindset we haven't found out about yet.

[dotcom]

[ he won't comment on the mineo thing because he refuses to say anything even slightly positive ]

... possibly a few. We're at the point where it's obvious that if you're too openly murderous you're going to be voted for.

[aubins]

[ yeah it'd just be awkward if he broke out in hives talking about mineo in a nice way. ]

So, be doubly careful and even more on the look out then. People slip up, all the time.

[dotcom]

[ he nods. ]

And see if someone else you know can tell you about people you don't talk to that they find suspicious.

[aubins]

More things to keep track of.

-- By the way, Shi and I found some things in the research room. It's not my place to talk about it, but just to let you know we're keeping our eyes out.
