The question is not "is Blake real"... the question is "am I being manipulated" as Blake has outlined in this post. I do not ask if it is possible, I say that it is "where we are at". People may take the appropriate action to think critically... or enjoy your assimilation to the borg.

Well said. I think we’re always being influenced or manipulated in a way. The new adjustment is by just how much and just how hard it will be to identify using human cognition (or even research). Brains are limited in power and time - biology is slow. We’re crossing that biological limit this decade.
