How Persuaders See the World

Wednesday, August 17th, 2016

Scott Adams explains how Rational People, Word-Thinkers, and Persuaders see the world:

Rational People: Use data and reason to arrive at truth. (This group is mostly imaginary.)

Word-Thinkers: Use labels, word definitions, and analogies to create the illusion of rational thinking. This group is 99% of the world.

Persuaders: Use simplicity, repetition, emotion, habit, aspirations, visual communication, and other tools of persuasion to program other people and themselves. This group is about 1% of the population and effectively control the word-thinkers of the world.

    Remember, if you want to become a rational thinker, give it up! Scott Adams told you they’re imaginary, and you don’t want to be imaginary, do you?

    Look, knowing what you are talking about and having the information to back it up is hard work. Kick back; do fun stuff;-life is short; here, have some cake.
