Manipulation polarizes. It plays to the weakest and darkest parts of human nature. It makes us all more emotional and less intelligent. We all think we are above it. None of us are. Our economic system doesn't work when there is a heavy amount of manipulation going on. Our economic system depends on rational action and we lose the ability to act rationally when we are manipulated. The same is so with our political system.
