Trance Inducing Language
Was reading this book Get Anyone To Do Anything by David Lieberman. Interesting stuff, all about human nature, what makes us tick, who we respond to and why, and so on.
Anyway, there’s one section on conflict, and it has a number of phrases that are total mind-f*ckery. So I thought you’d all enjoy them. Basically they cause the mind to loop, and the person loses their train of thought.
- Why are you asking me what you don’t know for sure?
- Do you really believe what you thought you knew?
- I understand what you’re saying; it doesn’t make it true.
- If you expected me to believe that, you wouldn’t have said it.
- Your question is what you knew it would be, isn’t it?
- Do you believe that you knew what you thought?
- Are you unaware of what you forgot?
Good stuff…. I’m hypnotizing myself while I type those…
