   @DianaSez You cannot read spells, remember. You cannot change reality. You can, however, give false definitions (by omitting essentials, by appealing to emotions completely ignoring identity of things, or by mixing logically unmixable things). Such manipulations depend on intellectual passivity, as you can imagine. You can read this very good article on the subject. Even if you ideologically disagree with the examples, the principles are perfectly valid and clear. https://craigbiddle.substack.com/p/conceptual-fallacies-and-how-to-avoid
