Every time my wife calls me fat I get so depressed I cut myself... a piece of chocolate cake.
Studies have shown Marriage is the leading cause of Divorce.
Why are divorces so expensive? Because they are worth it.
my wife is actually a lovely person when I have my headphones on.
"But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this." (Paul the Apostle, 1
Corinthians 7: 28, Holy Bible)
Politicians are typically not good at persuasion.
Trump uses visual imagery better than anyone. He simplifies to the point of inaccuracy in order to do that. A typical
politician avoids inaccuracy in order to avoid criticism. Trump sacrifices accuracy for clarity and persuasion. To
make us feel something. He kept things vague on purpose so we could imagin /insert our own best / worst case
scenarios.
Visual is far more persuasive than concepts. Find and use VISUAL words / ideas.

Persuasion vs. Manipulation - the difference is intention [this is flawed... manipulation does not necessarily assume
ill intent]
"Ends justify the means" has a bad rap
in a proper cost / benefit analysis, the ends will always justify the means. If they don't, you're doing it wrong.
The past only exists in our mind. Therefore the only way to travel BACKWARDS in time is through psychological /
mental means or through story.
Don't just say things that are true. Say things that will lead people to be productive / make a difference.

answers depending on the person's worldview / background / biases. (Frame Setting, Frame Alignment;

1. Diagnostic - framing for the identification of a problem and assignment of blame
2. Prognostic - framing to suggest solutions, strategies, and tactics to a problem
3. motivational - framing that serves as a call to arms or rationale for action
The closer these 3 align with a group / different groups, the better chance of forming a movement.
Example: Trump

2) strategies = populism, build a wall, new trade deals, faux[?] trade war
3) motivation = patriotism / revolution; Make America Great Again (AMAZINGLY INCLUSIVE SLOGAN - EAC WORD FULL

FRAME ALIGNMENT - 4 TYPES
Frame bridging is the "linkage of two or more ideologically congruent but structurally unconnected frames
regarding a particular issue or problem" (Snow et al., 1986, p. 467). It involves the linkage of a movement to
"unmobilized sentiment pools or public opinion preference clusters" (p. 467) of people who share similar views or
grievances but who lack an organizational base.
Frame amplification refers to "the clarification and invigoration of an interpretive frame that bears on a
particular issue, problem, or set of events" (Snow et al., 1986, p. 469). This interpretive frame usually involves
the invigorating of values or beliefs.
Frame extensions are a movement's effort to incorporate participants by extending the boundaries of the proposed
frame to include or encompass the views, interests, or sentiments of targeted groups. (Snow et al., 1986, p. 469)
Frame transformation is a process required when the proposed frames "may not resonate with, and on occasion may
even appear antithetical to, conventional lifestyles or rituals and extant interpretive frames" (Snow et al., 1986,
p. 473). When this happens, new values, new meanings and understandings are required in order to secure participants
and support. Goffman (1974, p. 43–44) calls this "keying" where "activities, events, and biographies that are already
meaningful from the standpoint of some primary framework transpose in terms of another framework" (Snow et al., 1986,
p. 474) such that they are seen differently. There are two types of frame transformation:
Domain-specific transformations such as the attempt to alter the status of groups of people, and
Global interpretive frame transformation where the scope of change is quite radical as in a change of world
views, total conversions of thought, or uprooting of all that is familiar (e.g. moving from communism to market
capitalism; religious conversion, etc.).

"There are 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who understand binary and those who don't."
Two jokes I heard while living in Boston: "Ireland's largest export has been the Irish." and "Boston is the second
largest city in Ireland."
Stephen Colbert called the Irish potato famine the English "Final Solution".
"If I were to write my title like going throug the airport and you have to put down what you do? I would write
'creative genius' except for two reasons: sometimes it takes too long to write, and sometimes I spell the word
'genious' wrong. The irony." - Kanye West
Dilbert: I'm kind of nervous about my briefing today before our senior leaders.
Dogbert: Just remember to carry some change in your pocket to jingle while you speak, avoid eye contact, and don't
pause to explain any acronyms.
Dilbert: I wish I could tell when you're kidding
From a Navy Training manual: "You will then need an Intermediate Information Requrement (IIR). Do NOT confuse this
with IIR."
Pointy Haired Boss: Next on the agenda, the facilities director has determined that the building's drinking water is
well above safe standards.
Dilbert: Then why are you drinking bottled water?
Pointy Haired Boss: Because that's what the facilities director drinks.

"the way she bites her lip when she's trying not to smile"
It's so right that you and I have come together, isn't it right Dr Marvin? I know it was meant to be!
- You think so Bob?
- Yes! Because it's time! And I'm ready! With Dr Carswell Fensterwald, I wasn't ready... With Dr Rosingay and
Tcheski, there wasn't time. I was certainly wasn't ready for Malestine or Miller or Hill. But with you! Finally, I'm
ready!

Weird things that happened to me:
When I was about 6 or 7, a local church near where I lived used to hold a week-long "Bible School" for children in
the summers. At the end of the week they had a family service during which someone passed me a plate with a stack of
quarters on it. "How generous" I thought, as I put them in my pocket and passed the plate.
--------------
Once while visiting Nauvoo, I was playing at a park with my brothers, when a man walked out of the woods and asked to
play basketball with us. We played for a while and had a great time until he had to go, and he walked back through
the trees and disappeared. Immediately afterwards we looked at eachother and remarked how the man looked exactly like
Joseph Smith to all of us. We were convinced that we had been graced with a special dispensation.
A year or so later we found ourselves again at the Nauvoo visitors center where a new movie of the Church in Nauvoo
was playing. The actor playing Joseph Smith was none other than our Basketball-playing friend.
---------------
I once got a drink from a fire hose.
---------------
I was bitten by a Copperhead snake at girls camp.
---------------
I was once bitten by a dog in a swimming pool.

"the way she bites her lip when she's trying not to smile"
It's so right that you and I have come together, isn't it right Dr Marvin? I know it was meant to be!
- You think so Bob?
- Yes! Because it's time! And I'm ready! With Dr Carswell Fensterwald, I wasn't ready... With Dr Rosingay and
Tcheski, there wasn't time. I was certainly wasn't ready for Malestine or Miller or Hill. But with you! Finally, I'm
ready!

Weird things that happened to me:
When I was about 6 or 7, a local church near where I lived used to hold a week-long "Bible School" for children in
the summers. At the end of the week they had a family service during which someone passed me a plate with a stack of
quarters on it. "How generous" I thought, as I put them in my pocket and passed the plate.
--------------
Once while visiting Nauvoo, I was playing at a park with my brothers, when a man walked out of the woods and asked to
play basketball with us. We played for a while and had a great time until he had to go, and he walked back through
the trees and disappeared. Immediately afterwards we looked at eachother and remarked how the man looked exactly like
Joseph Smith to all of us. We were convinced that we had been graced with a special dispensation.
A year or so later we found ourselves again at the Nauvoo visitors center where a new movie of the Church in Nauvoo
was playing. The actor playing Joseph Smith was none other than our Basketball-playing friend.
---------------
I once got a drink from a fire hose.
---------------
I was bitten by a Copperhead snake at girls camp.
---------------
I was once bitten by a dog in a swimming pool.
