What's interesting here is that he says nothing about the art of rhetoric. Much of what he discusses was already implemented in the practice and theory of rhetoric 2000+ years ago - just look at Aristotle's work on the subject! Similar ideas have therefore had an important place in the whole history of Western political thought. In some ways he's simply re-inventing the wheel... albeit giving it a modern 'scientific' grounding...

ok, cognitive science/linguistics plays an important role in understanding motives/morality in our society. However, symantics often distorts political thought. In fact, in my educated opinion, content education must be foremost in understanding politics/business. Afterall, politics is the ameliorating of differences of groups vying for resources. That should be left to business majors who crunch numbers, plan projects, assess risks, etc, in an efficient/effective manner. Plain talk is better.

I haven't even watched this yet, but I find it interesting that virtually all the comments below are either 1) slanting left, 2) a bit absurd, 3) "removed by author", or 4) account closed.
Are there comments that disagree anywhere? Is anyone allowed to disagree?
(If this post is removed, I'll know the answer to the second question)

Great stuff, but it's worth noting that this really only applies to the US Conservative/Liberal divide... wouldn't apply in many countries |
