Here is my opinions on these text for psyops. Gonna go through ALL the text

>The Strategic Game of ? And ? - Col. Boyd

This was good for targeting the subject

>The Selfish Meme - Kate Distin
Piece of garbage filled with crap on meme theory and dependencies of memes, filled with straw men, refuting examples rather than arguments. Not useful for anything

>The Authoritarians - Bob Altemeyer

Waste of time on subjects effected by authority. This offers an general but useless understanding of POVs of people subjected to authority with redundant examples. Nothing usable.
>> No. 77
>Stealth Marketing - Jay Abraham
Not stealth, just direct marketing. This is not only good for writing letters to address needs of an audience otherwise it is poor for psyops.
>> No. 78
I've been reading through some of this as well. I haven't finished anything yet, but here's what I've come up with.

>Undoing Yourself
It presents itself as a deeply insightful piece that you only not "get" if you are a complete fool. Seriously. So far seems to have a lot of self-help tropes in it, but it really pushes the "do it my way or your are not an self-aware person" concept.

>Get Anyone to do Anything
Puts forward the idea that people operate according to specific behavioral rules that can be taken advantage of. Practical techniques are given, but they need to be tried out to know if they work or not.
>> No. 79
>Derren Brown - Behind the Screen
All this is diverting attention strategies, Forier effect from cold reading and mnemonics. Quick read, not much info.
>PsyOps and Ethics - Michael Aquino
Mostly not useful. Just read the first part about propaganda. The rest in political jibberish that has no applications.
>The role of cognitive and socio-cognitive conflict in learning to reason - Katiuscia >Sacco and Monica Bucciarelli
This just explains tenancies on rationalizing conclusions and evaluating syllogisms. Read the start and end the middle is just details on experimental procedures. Mostly non applicable to anything.
>> No. 80
>Theory of Power - Jeff Vail
Piece of garbage comparing scientific and economic processes with memetics/anthropology. Very useless
>Society of the Spectacle - Guy Debord
Sociology garbage. Not useful for psyops at all.
>> No. 82
>Resistance & Persuasion - Knowles (not on list but in zip file)
Very useful. But it may be a bit difficult to understand.
>> No. 83
>The Art of Memetics - Wes Unruh and Edward Wilson
Some good concepts, but lots of filler and very disorganized
>> No. 84
>Propaganda - Edward Bernays

Outdated, too focused on social political issues and less on strategies, methods, and explainations
>> No. 85
>Strategic Information Warfare (RAND corporation) - Roger C Molander, Andrew S Riddle, Peter A Wilson

Good for government use only, useless for individual/personal use.

>The Origin and Evolution of Cultures - Robert Boyd and Peter J Richerson
Culture/ Anthropology useless for application
>> No. 102
Will more reviews be forthcoming?
>> No. 103
Any good texts or papers on power, influence, leadership dyads, etc?
>> No. 104
>>103
For power and influence, nothing beats watching the local salespeople do their thing. Only if they're good, though. One sales guy I knew went on and on about a book called The 48 Laws of Power. An update was recently published, I think.
>> No. 106
>>104
Sounds interesting. My interests in the topic are largely academic, but I find these books written by practitioners who do not have an academic background, and who are writing primarily based off their own experiences usually open studies in a field up by giving guidance on what is valued and not being researched.
>> No. 119
Ben Goertzel is an researcher in Artificial Intelligence. I call bullshit on this list.
