>>11934793Well you see. There were still incels in the 90s. Instead of sperging out they gathered in forums and, as expected of an obsessive incel, began discussing and mapping out human behavior in hopes of solving it, manipulating it and eventually getting sex. Not under the form of a sanitized journal on psychology but rather in an unrestricted discussion devoid of morals much alike that of 4chan's. The central theme of that manipulation was called NLP. Neuro-linguistic programming. It was the idea that by uttering specific words in a specific sequence, that you could make anyone fall for anything without even noticing it. Basically this

However the material got buried under the ruins of Web 1.0 and it is no longer accessible no matter how hard you dig for it. They have all hoarded it inside their brains and have transformed it into what they now call "marketing", becoming quite successful thanks to this. About 90% of the OGs are millionaires and the majority of them are pioneers in modern social media marketing, mostly multi-millionaires.
Me personally? Well I was too young when all of this happened but I still got on the train on the very last minute, around 2006, and learned many things while they were still accessible. I am now re-mapping the entire theory about them and are redesigning them for imageboards, which are the future of humanity's cultural development as text is the least metabolically-expensive information transmission method, and will use them to form a new theory on imageboard behavior so that I can steer the discussion towards what I perceive is beneficial for humanity in my own subjective world view. Not just 4chan but whatever appears after it as well. I am about halfway done with ironing it out and will have a deterministic set of reproducible results within the next 5 years, before the neural networks get to there first.
Hopefully this answers your question OP.
