Wow, Mary, that makes sense.
He does have a few interviews on youtube. I find his writings and theories interesting, though at times claims more predictive power than is warranted.
There is more going on than mass susceptibility to hypnosis and suggestion. And there is more at stake this political season than “who is the better master persuader” — but he offers part of a more complete understanding.
He’s really deep, so much so that I sometimes feel as if I’m drowning in his subtlety. He’s layers on layers with that tongue-in-cheek Dilbert cleverness. When I read people accepting what he writes as though it were top-level simple, my mental jaw drops. I can’t even imagine what it must be like to live in his mind and see the world as he does. But I so much enjoy trying!
He doesn’t have to be right all the time. He just has to get our mental motors moving, and he does that beautifully. So much at stake and so very scary. This is such a comforting place to hide while it all plays out. Let me say that I do enjoy your posts. I notice your name on many thoughtful ones. All my best, Mary
