We have two ways to think: alpha mode and beta mode. Alpha mode is the way we think when we are relaxed and not being taxed by an external force. It is our default state. Beta mode is our second form of thinking that is active when we are being taxed by an external force. Here are some examples of how we think in different modes:Alpha mode: I like ___________. Beta mode: I don't like ___________. Alpha mode: The weather is nice today. Beta mode: The weather is not nice today. Alpha mode: I am good at ___________. Beta mode: I am not good at ___________. Alpha mode: I want to do ___________. Beta mode: I don't want to do ___________. Alpha mode: I am smart. Beta mode: I am not smart. It is important to understand that social engineers target people in beta, not alpha, mode. When you are in beta, you are thinking about your problems, worries, and insecurities. You are thinking in a linear, logical manner and are not likely to be manipulated or easily distracted by flattery or false promises. -> Social engineering is the art of human hacking.
