Excuse me?
Yeah, I know who he is. I bought two of the Dilbert books in primary school thinking they'd be funny cartoons and they were just cartoons about working in an office that went over my head.

Scott Adams: How to Be a Master Persuader
Master persuaders often have a collection of persuasion tactics up their sleeve. The more you can combine, the more persuasive you will be. These tactics teach how to persuade on a word-by-word basis.Linguistic Kill Shot
A Linguistic Kill Shot is a nickname or catchphrase targeting your opponent. It can be so persuasive that it quickly ends an argument. They are more effective when novel (uncommon, unexpected) and visual.The 2016 US Presidential election showed a variety of nicknames, some masterful and others ineffective.
- Trump’s: “Low-energy Jeb.” “Lyin’ Ted.” “Lil’ Marco.” “Crooked Hillary.” “Goofy Elizabeth Warren.”
- Note how the most memorable names weren’t common – no use of “liberal.”
- Note too the deliberate contraction of words that invites a double take – lyin’, lil’.
- These all fed confirmation bias and visual imagery – Jeb did indeed look listless, Ted did have beady little eyes that made him look untrustworthy.
