Ekaterina M. (EIE) - Shaping public opinion to achieve goals

I create public opinion — meaning, if I need something, I prepare a certain person so that he convinces the person I need to convince. And during the conversation I push some ideas on him, inspire him, and he goes on living with that. He lives with it exactly as long as I need his inspiration to last. I inspire another person too, just with different words. Maybe from the same angle about the same thing, or maybe from the opposite angle, but still about the same thing. I know these people will tell it to someone.

This is really a special thing. If I need to tell someone something without people knowing it came from me, then I say it on purpose to some random person, because I know he’ll tell one person, that one will tell another, and eventually it will reach the person I need. It’s complicated, but it always works.

And then this little group of people suddenly comes together and realizes they’re all thinking the same thing: “So let’s make it happen!” And then I show up: “Listen, I’ve come up with an idea! Maybe we should…” “Of course, yes!” — they’re already on board. “Who’s going to go?” “Well, I’ll go,” I say, and I go. Or we find another brave soul who will take my idea forward, believing it’s their own.
