how to manipulate small meetings

first draft so excuse the mistakes and awkward writing

there are oodles of youtube videos on how to run meetings. Excuse my synicism but I remember the old encounter groups of the sixties where the leader guided everyone and everyone went along with them, except me because I was a stubborn nerd: I mean, I was a medical student at a time when less than ten percent of docs and less than ten percent of my class were women, so I was not obedient. It got so frustrating that I got a nurse to call me out of the meetings with medical problems that required my presence.

Most videos are how to do this, but this one is a good summary:15 Psychological Mind Tricks To Get People To Do What You Want

In Part 1 of this conversation, Fr. Murray takes apart the vocabulary: Sr. Nathalie Becquart calling synodality “a social prophecy” and “a grammar of peace”; the Synod Secretariat classifying Catholics who disagree not as people with differing views but as “resistance”; and the question nobody in Rome has answered — where in the world do we find a Catholic mandate to invent a church in a different way?

so this is how to manipulate people and a bit honest that they are doing it.

this is first draft but the videos say what I want to say: It's a scam manipulating people, and of course normal folks end up leaving the meeting (as I did in the encounter groups of the sixties)  because they know the emperor is naked
