Whittle is always great.

Here's a definition of "gaslighting" from Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting

Gaslighting or gas-lighting is a form of mental abuse in which information is twisted or spun, selectively omitted to favor the abuser, or false information is presented with the intent of making victims doubt their own memory, perception, and sanity.[1][2] Instances may range simply from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred, up to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim.

The term owes its origin to the 1938 play Gas Light and its film adaptations. The term has been used in clinical and research literature.[3][4]

Insightful. I believe it. It challenges the patience and sanity of a saint.

BTW: Ronald Reagan talked about sharing the SDI with Russia in exchange for actually developing one.

That would be a western way of attemtping to explain it. Not quite all there.

The better way to explain it is four terms.

Al-taqiyya

Al-tawriya

Al-kitman

Al-muruna

I thought it meant igniting one’s rear emissions.

My question is what do those four terms mean? Their translation? From what language? Synonyms.

I've been around people that do this. It's manipulative and very effective.

They're basically sociopaths.

Allegations of being “Gaslighted” in the workplace can make a co-worker seem crazy.

That’s funny. Back in my Marine Corps day, we had 2 sailors assigned to us. One was named Bowman; the other I can’t remember. I remember Bowman because we convinced him that his name should be pronounced Bow-man, NOT Bo-man.

We took to calling him Bow-man so much that he was 90% convinced; but then he went and got transferred. Never knew it was gaslighting.
