Two things that help a lot. Know your BATNA, your best alternative if this deal falls through. It gives you real leverage. And use silence. When you stop talking, the other person often fills the gap with information you can use.

When technical defenses improve, attackers don't retreat. They shift investment to the unprotected layer: the human mind.

The Second Thinking Space

This article explains why I use artificial intelligence not as a substitute for thinking, but as a second thinking space. Based on the idea that complex structures are rarely understood from within a single perspective, AI serves as a means of exploration, pattern recognition, intellectual challenge, and perspective expansion. The goal is not automation, but deeper insight into the hidden structures that shape decisions, organisations, and human behaviour.

Why people won't update their beliefs even when shown the data:
The brain is wired to protect identity — not truth.
"I voted for Brexit" is part of who someone is.
Admitting it was wrong = attacking yourself.
So most people find ways to explain away the numbers
instead of changing their minds.
That's not stupidity.
That's neuroscience.

Intelligence does not create immunity to misinformation. It sometimes changes the packaging. The brain's dual architecture means fast, intuitive judgments operate continuously, while slow analysis is effortful and depletes. Exploitation targets the asymmetry, not the intellect.
