Week eighteen Book twenty-six : Never Be Lied to Again

 

Or, How to be an Asshole in 5 minutes or less.

The crux of nearly every "suggestion" or "strategy" is to lie to the person you're talking to. Or misrepresent, or manipulate (badly). 

It's out of date advice wrapped in the comfort of an expert, one of the things he literally warns you off. Also not convinced that the use of pronouns is as random as he makes pains to point out. I started to notice that the Agression, Anger, Strength examples were stacking up male, and the Flattery, Jealousy, Attraction examples skewed female.

As his premise is lie to the liars, I assume that the "random" thing was also .... a lie. 

Skip.
