Six universals explained in a nice video :
1) Reciprocity. Doing unto others as you would them do unto you, and all that.
2) Scarcity. People want things more if they're rare.
3) Authority. Everything sounds better coming from an experienced expert.
4) Consistency. Get people to do small, easy things before they do big, hard things.
5) Liking. People believe things more from people they like.
6) Consensus. Wake up, sheeple !

ReplyDeleteSocrates is an interesting case. If you read Plato, you'll find plenty of compelling arguments. But you'll also find Socrates depicted as (often, though not always) petulant, irritable, out of touch, and highly divisive. He succeeded with the Athenian young, but utterly failed with the elders - ultimately leading to his execution. There's a tragic passage in Gorgias in which Plato has Socrates explain why the supposed great politicians were actually abysmal failures at rhetoric, being invariably exiled or executed by those who they should have been able to influence, and foresees his own demise at the hands of the fickle mob.
