And that's where the irrationally kicks in
Nope
It never is
You only think it is because of things like confirmatiuon bias and cognitive dissonance
Oh wait i misread
But yeah
go back to your human studies class kid.
We're agreeing essentially
Shane how old are you
shane watches ben shapiro rekt videos
thats where he gets his political commentary
Shane is what's known as the "Lone Penguin" in my field
Theyre the people who don't have anything of value to add to the conversation
what major are you
I've been out of college for a while
what do you mean by your field
But the lone penguin is someone who comes in like "LOL btw dont listen to this guy he doesn't know what hes talking about"
And then they leave
The Lone Penguin
Persuasion
I use persuasion on a professional level. There's like 4 different levels
Amateur, Professional, Commerical, and Master PErsuader
feelings are sure but dealing with them isn't necessarily
*typos
We like to think humans are rational about 90 percent of the time and like 10 percent of the time we get irrational
The truth is it's the opposite
We're irrational 90 percent of the time, and we're rational about 10 percent about things that don't really matter or have no emotional baggage to them
Like, you'll be rational about doing your taxes
ill rationally vote for someone based off of my irrational normative values
But you won't be rational about picking your favorite player or picking your career or your wife or literally anything that will matter to you
for example if they support socialism
i vote them
its rational but its rooted in feelings
or normative systems
And that's fine.
But the trap is thinking you're the only logical person....and it's every one else whos irrational
Which is really what causes so much division. We think the other side is full of idiots and our side is generally pretty okay
very few people think that
The Red Team Blue Team phenomenah is one of the most powerful
most people are aware that they are irrational to a degree
