  1. Manipulation is a part of the human experience. The point of human communication is fundamentally manipulation of another person. Where manipulation becomes a problem is when it doesn't come from a genuine place. For instance, if there are lies (that is, intentional and knowing falsehoods) told in order to change a person's way of thinking or behavior, that is a problem because it's not at all in good faith in order to give a person something they may want in exchange for something, but purposefully deceiving them to give them something entirely different than they wanted but you still get what you want. On the other hand, to openly leverage a person's preexisting desires is a mutual scratching of backs. They get what they desire, and you get what you want in return.
