Very thought provoking, they remind me of the 48 Laws of Power.
A lot of these are intuitive or things I've experienced/seen before, but I've never seen them formalized.
My favourite three, though I think almost all of them are great:
- The person who tells the most compelling story wins. Not the best idea. Just the story that catches people’s attention and gets them to nod their heads.
- Henry Luce said, “Show me a man who thinks he’s objective and I’ll show you a man who’s deceiving himself.” People see what they want to see, hear what they want to hear, and view the world through the lens of their own unique life experiences.
- Simple explanations are appealing even when they’re wrong. “It’s complicated” isn’t persuasive even when it’s right.
