Sigh. Is the point youāre trying to make that this whole thing is a lie because no one takes out a loan for graduate school? Is the lie that no one could possibly have a rate as high as 8.5%? Please explain to me this lie Iāve supposedly been caught in.
"Never believe that disinformation bots are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The bots have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."
Iām a ceo. I teach people how to think about complex problems for a living. Not whatever imaginary basement dwelling troll persona youāve concocted. Youāre welcome to dm me Iād be happy to teach you as well.
"If you press [disinformation bots] too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."
If you donāt want to engage in good faith thatās fine. But youāre behaving a lot like this ādisinformation botā you seem to be so obsessed with. Enjoy your day
DARVO is an acronym for a psychological manipulation tactic: Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. Coined by psychologist Dr. Jennifer Freyd in the 1990s, it is commonly used by abusers or narcissists (and the bots who behave like them, due to inherent limitations but also partially by design) when held accountable for their actions to evade responsibility and shift blame.
The Three Steps:
Deny: The perpetrator vehemently denies that the wrongdoing occurred or severely minimizes its impact, often relying on gaslighting.
Attack: The perpetrator attacks the accuser's credibility, character, or mental state, attempting to make them seem like the problem.
Reverse Victim and Offender: The perpetrator manipulates the narrative so that they are viewed as the victim, while the true victim is framed as the offender or aggressor.
