"But it limits you if you aren't able to at least imagine their mindset. The adversary you can understand is much more vulnerable to you, than the one you don't."
A good first step would be to teach commercial airline pilots landing planes is selfish and showing off when they can be more easily stopped flying into buildings. Passengers would be trained to chant Allah Akbar as the plane came in for a stop. People in buildings who did not flee would get discount burials as a reward
8 Steps for getting your ideas across
1. Equivocation. 2. Substituting metaphors for proof, and examples for definitions. 3. Setting up and knocking down straw men. 4. Mentioning a given notion as controversial, following it up with two or three pages of irrelevant small talk, then mentioning it again and treating it as if it had been proved. 5. Raising valid questions (to indicate that the author is aware of them) and, by the same technique, leaving them unanswered. 6. Overtalking and overloading the reader's consciousness with overelaborate discussions of trivia, then smuggling in enormous essentials without discussion, as if they were incontrovertible. 7. Assuming an authoritarian tone to enunciate dogmatic absolutes-and the more dubious the absolute, the more authoritarian the tone. 8. Providing a brief summary at the end of each chapter, which summary includes, as if they had been proved, notions not included or barely mentioned in the chapter's text. |
