The Argument Ninja Podcast


Nov 26, 2016

This is the first episode since Donald Trump won the election, so you know I've got to talk about Trump! In this episode I take up the question that Scott Adams has framed for us: is Donald Trump some kind of "master persuader" who uses persuasion techniques familiar to anyone trained in hypnosis? And is this the reason why he won the election? In This Episode: - Help me build the Argument Ninja Academy - Scott Adams on Donald Trump: Master Persuader - "Pacing and leading", Milton Erickson and hypnosis - Confusion and hypnotic suggestibility - Confusion and self-defense - Confusion and the "Chewbacca Defense" - Derren Brown: how to steal with hypnosis - Hypnosis stage acts and the spectrum of hypnotizability - Why Scott Adams was confident that Trump would win - Is Trump a master persuader? - Thinking critically about persuasion schools and persuasion science http://argumentninja.com/support
