It helps me to think in terms of particles and waves.

A person is a particle and their influence is a wave.

I’m not so sure light is both, but our cognition enables seeing it as both.

Mirror neurons fire when we engage a behavior or see it performed.

Our culture is built upon a meme repeating protectionist like chants for the rich, deflation for the middle class, and stagnation of the poor.

Repeat, fire mirror neurons.

It’s not perfect mind control though cause once you know how the sausage is made, why give that particle (rich person) reverence?
