I just got it in the mail. Thus, I have not read it yet.
But, back in the start of 2016 I was absolutely sure that Donald Trump was going to become President. So sure that I told everyone I knew and also bet a pretty large amount of money on a Trump victory.
I also tried to find like-minded individuals that saw Trump as the becoming President.
Thus, I was attracted to Scott Adams’ blog
Scott Adams predicted very early on that Trump would become President.
Scott Adams is besides from being the father of Dilbert, a trained hypnotist and an expert on persuasion techniques.
Thus, he saw Trump’s presidential campaign through a persuasion lense.
Even though he believed Trump to become President, he changed his mind transiently several times during the campaign, according to the events unfolding (he would perhaps deny this retrospectively, even SA is not immune to cognitive fallacies). But, his analysis about the persuasion Trump used in his campaign was mind-blowing.
That said, I would recommend this book because it is going to contain information about world class persuasion techniques Trump uses, that will make you gain deeper understanding about Trump as well as hypnosis and persuasion techniques in general.
Life is also about playing the right movie. The leftists have their movie, where Trump is kind of a Hitler in spe. He could not win. When he won, it unleashed a plethora cognitive dissonance.
I also actually see lots of cognitive dissonance in people that say Bitcoin is a scam and so forth.
They are really smart people, but confronted with the fact that Bitcoin has had a tremendous growth so far, it creates cognitive dissonance. If they are wrong, then they are ‘dumb’ and their identities as experts are scattered. Otherwise smart people writes and say they most stupid things.
They compare Bitcoin with the Tulip mania etc.
Thus, this is probably the best indirect argument for Bitcoin, that the side against it is hallucinating big time. I am beware that I myself might be wrong though, so if people ask me, I advice them to put 5-10% in Bitcoin (and related digital assets).
So, consider buying this book if you want to learn about world class persuasion.
Now, I am going to read the book!
Thank you for your time and attention. Steem on!
