    Hell yeah! This is exactly what I’m talking about, but what’s holding us back from this process, an act that was once known as “talking to each other” is the sad fact that people don’t talk to each other anymore.

    I swear there are people online who act like manipulating people is some kind of dark jedi trick that only the most intellectual sages and evil wizards will ever accomplish, when it’s literally what we do with each other all day long anyway, the simple act of having a conversation is trying to get someone to understand you or feel what you feel. If you can learn how to have a conversation, you can learn how to change people’s minds.

    I can explain things to dumb people with patience and an effort to make complex topics understandable and if you can do this AND sound halfway confident, BAM you either got a convert or you’re on your way to starting a cult.
