Arrogance + use of persuasive techniques =
the potential (and TEMPTATION) for playing one's audience FOR FOOLS!
Scamming them -- saying to one's self, "Hell I'll get the same amount of profit if I give them real value, OR NOT. Maybe it'll be an even bigger payday for me if I DON'T give them any real value!" There's an old joke, billed as the ultimate "New Yorker's" joke, supposedly reflective of their famous who-gives-a-crap, tough-love attitude (I grew up in NYC, so I can say this) -- the joke goes like this... Joe: I've got this great LIVE BEE collection -- with bees from all over the world, with dozens of different species and types. It is a truly wonderful collection. Henry: Really! Where do you keep all those bees? Joe: In this cigar box right here. Henry: WOW! -- But don't they sting each other in there? Don't they kill each other? Joe: F**k 'em. ______________________________________ THAT'S hucksterism. Playing your audience FOR FOOLS. Using sleazy USED CAR SALESMEN techniques -- thereby DISRESPECTING your potential customers, and then not giving a crap about it -- because the payday will be the same (or better) anyhow. And -- unfortunately -- that maybe EXACTLY how the (real) world is viewing YOU, whether you like it or not! -- Whether you're actually doing that, or not! The real world may very well think you're wearing a plaid jacket -- even if you're not! -- TW |
