					<description><![CDATA[&lt;b&gt;I’m constantly amazed at how many can be introduced to NLP and NOT accept its power.&lt;/b&gt;

I tested the basic techniques on random people. To most people, it would be called &quot;conversational skills&quot;, but to me, it was me not using the power, just seeing how people would react.

Most humans are lazy, they read something in the abstract and think they understand it in the concrete. Experience is what matters, not abstract stuff people &quot;think they know&quot;.]]></description>

We are social animals. 

We love to agree, harmonize.

By starting off with blatantly agreeable assertions it&#039;s all too easy to slip a tad bit of poison in the the word salad.

The LIV -- Low Involvement Voter -- is repelled by DEPTH.

Brooks is a classic low involvement &quot;philosopher-prince of print.&quot;

He conflates the ego-boost of seeing one&#039;s scribbles in mass circulation with insight and talent -- whereas they are a tribute to his orthodoxy, his harmlessness to the established &lt;i&gt;orderers.&lt;/i&gt;

For he really holds his position -- by holding for their position -- orthodoxy. He&#039;s a marshmellow tipped wit. 

No wonder &#039;they&#039; lap up this lapdog.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[neo-neocon You give too much credit to Brooks in the first post. Brooks isn&#039;t all that difficult to con or fool. He&#039;s sub average compared to me, and I&#039;m merely above average.

To put it another way, a 13 year old child has little chance of winning a bout against me, if I trained in his style for six months and he trained in it for 6 years. Hussein didn&#039;t need to have all that much a superior grasp of things over Brooks, to fool Brooks. Brooks can easily fool himself, given his weaknesses and lack of experience in Willpower.

They&#039;re both trash, but in different fashions.

&lt;b&gt;It’s hard to know exactly what Obama said that was so dazzling. But since David Brooks has never written anything that indicates he’s any sort of deep thinker himself, perhaps the mere fact that Obama was familiar with the name “Reinhold Niebuhr” was enough to do the trick. &lt;/b&gt;

That&#039;s not Hussein talking about Rein. That&#039;s Hussein using NLP. It&#039;s the guru factor. I see it a lot in martial arts dojos, especially the crazy mcDojos, rather than just the family friendly Dojos.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Regarding Obama and Petraeus, I once saw a TV interview with one of his HLS classmates. The classmate describes Barack as notably arrogant and so much so (even for Harvard) that there was a special word for it. He would even get into it with teachers about his supposed superior knowledge of the law.]]></description>
