Spotting DFs Earlier

Go with you gut. You know but you don't like it.

Keep in mind that this early realization will make it easier to avoid getting rid of them later. See [[Hoe to Get Rid of Your Friends]].

Read John Seddon's Beyond Command and Control, to understand "failure demand."

If you feel annoyed, there is a clear signal.

When people tell you what you think, there is a clear signal.

AXIOM: DF's are unethical. AXIOM: Only CF can effectively deal with DFs. This is a derivative of the Conant-Ashby Therum.

People who are certain are DFs.

DFs are clear in small ways. They are smart enough to lie and conceal who they are and what their real goals are.

Ofthe DFs don't introduce you to other people in their network. This is to avoid the triangulation that investigative reporters use to discover misinformation.

To be clear DF are often quite clever but never in ways that are good for the rest of us. So their dumbness refers to the effects of their actions more that their cognitive capacities.

DFness is generally learned behavior. Often their friends [[See How to Get Rid of Friends and Family]] and families are DFs, though this is by no mean universal. So children are amazed by the DFness of their family and are stimulated to run in the opposite direction toward cleverness as fast as they can.

Sometimes DFness becomes a strange attractor that has rare and unpredictable escape trajectories.

Interesting that the majority of the links focus on Gulliver in lilliput rather than the land of the Houyhnhnms
