People are often lead by irrational mind tricks and trips employed by high charging individuals.

Heuristics, faking social proofs, high flying stories backed by other stories, mocking people, and so forth are tactics used to win and gain support.

Bernard Madoff has never taken a penny from anyone ! People gave that money to him ! [Educated] people [of sound body and mind] WILLINGLY gave him their money ! Madoff has NEVER taking any money from someone who wasn’t going to give it to him.

Fallacies are tools of endearment. Watch this video below on Donald Trump’s campaign speech where he is using 15 fallacies in three minutes.

Your mind is not even aware of what he’s doing to you. Red herring fallacy, bandwagon, false cause, black or white fallacy, loaded question fallacy, strawman fallacy, slippery slope fallacy, personal incredulity fallacy, ad homini fallacy, and they just keep on coming.

What are some of the fallacies your boss is using on you ? Can you now see better through his (or hers) bulls*it ?

Here’s a video series from Adam Smith Institute, that, although quite bland, goes through most of these fallacies. Do not be afraid to admit you fall for these, and remember as long as you’re learning, you are improving.
