Depends on what you mean by manipulation. I can (obviously) easily detect falsehood in myself, and have more or less suppressed it. I can also easily detect and suppress “technical truth” answers and other methods of deception.
However, I think I need to work on detecting manipulation in others and resisting its effects. I’m pretty good at resisting flattery, but I’m sure that there are more subtle methods out there that I am unaware of and therefore susceptible to.
I’m very interested in this system, as it matches some of my own recent moral insights. How exactly did you go about implementing it?
Do you have problems with detecting manipulation in yourself and others, or problems stopping it when you’ve detected it?

For me the biggest problem was guilt-trips, not flattery.
