Human beings are just machines. Machines that do what you want them to do, if only you know the levers to pull. And no matter how complex people might seem, if you cut them off from the network of people who give shape to their personality, the communities that form their identity, they'll be reduced to that set of levers. Doesn't matter how hard they resist, or how well they know they're being manipulated. Eventually, if you take the time, you can play them like a piano, every note right where you expect it.
