Hey all, I couldn't find a good place to post this, but I figured it would work here, since it's part of psychology.

Anyways, I was wondering what you all know about social engineering? I assume you all know what I'm talking about. Manipulating people by messing with their thoughts, emotions, etc. Now, I realize this makes me sound like a callous bastard, but it's not meant to be that extreme. I wasn't sure how else to explain it.

So, anyways, if you feel it's not a danger to society to share this information with me, I'd like to know everything you know about it.
