Here is how to win arguments ethically

*Nobody cares*

Here is how to win arguments by being an asshole

*Goes viral*

Hilarious 😂

I believe in taking extreme accountability in ones life.

If you get fired at work it's your fault.

If you close a high-ticket client it's your fault.

Thinking any other way puts control and power out of your hands. This is no way to exist.

Whenever I post a thread on arguing and debating, it goes viral.

So I thought I'd touch down on the basics.

Here is what you need to know.

1- The Delivery is More Important Than the Message:

No matter how reasoned and structured your argument is, if you fail to keep your cool and articulate your ideas, you will lose the argument.

Understand that form is oftentimes more important than the content.

Especially when it comes to arguments and debates.

2- Power Dynamics are Everything:

There are things you can afford to do with some but can't afford to do with others.

You can for example tell your friend that what they're saying is complete bullshit while you'll have to find better words to say the same things to your boss.

This might sound simple.

But most people overlook this aspect.

You need to be flexible.

3- Anticipating Their Answers Gives you an EDGE:

This is something nobody talks about.

If you're to win an argument or a debate, it is important to frame the conversation.

One thing I advise you to do is to be the one asking the questions.

This puts you in a position of power.

But it's not enough.

Asking for the sake of asking serves no purpose.

You need to be able to anticipate their answers so that you can use them against them.

It's a very subtle technique.

But you'll get quickly used to it if you do it a couple of times.

Do you want to learn and practice those skills?

You know where to go.

How to take a position of power with one single easy sentence.

"It's complicated"

-Cuts the conversation down.
-Indicates you're not willing to talk any further.
-Gives an intellectual/information related edge.

By giving this very polite yet strict answer, you tell your interlocutor that they do not have what it takes to know the rest.

Be it:

-Not enough background information (you not willing to develop means they're not worth the trouble)
-Not enough trust on your end to share the information
-Not enough intellectual capacities to understand the rest

The variety of possibilities creates a confusion that makes your real intentions be overlooked.

Polite, short, very effective.

When the haters come knocking, I remember these kind of messages.

The content I'm about to release in the coming 60 days is going to change a lot of lives.

They say you can't improve IQ, I'll prove everyone wrong.

Anyone who follows closely and applies everything will outperform anyone around them.

Let's get to it.

You do not leave your lower self by becoming detached from it. This way is difficult for most people.

You leave your lower self by becoming attached to the higher one. This is way of transcendence

When the joy of being in higher self exceeds the lower, you abandon the lower instantly.

Breaking down mental barriers.

It may seem like the battle is fought in the arena, but it all starts in your head.

A strong mind in a weak body could overcome a weak mind in a strong body.

We are human, full of doubt and each of us encounters mental barriers throughout our lives.

Three of the main ones:
- I can't do it
- I'm not good enough
- Someone else has already done it

And this Sunday, we're going to explore how to break down those three beliefs.

1) I can't do it.

The first barrier is related to self-confidence.
Before you've even tried, your mind has drawn a red line that can't be crossed.
This can be anxiety or lack of self-confidence.

I'd like to tell you that there is a magic solution, but no.

You have to do the thing that you are afraid of.

Even in behavioral therapies, progressive exposure is used to treat anxiety.

And it's the healthiest approach.
It's normal to be afraid, taking the plunge has never been easy.
You're going to show the world a part of yourself, show vulnerabilities and you don't want to be ridiculed.

If you want to do something but you think you can't do it: DO IT.

Why? Doing it will increase your self-confidence and put you in a positive loop.
And once you've achieved the small goal, you'll have enough confidence to achieve a bigger goal.

And as you accomplish more and more, I can't will turn into I'm able to, so I can.

2) I am not good enough

This barrier is related to competence.

You think you can do it, but you're just not competent enough.
The remedy is to continue to train, to study the competitors, to read about the subject.

It can be very impressive to start out in a field.
When I started in my field, I was scared to death. I thought my work was crap and that my competitors were 100x better than me.
It was only experience that cured that feeling of incompetence.

3) Someone else has already done it

One of the biggest traps of the human mind. Others have done it and better than you ... so what?

First of all, if others have done it and are successful, that's a very good sign, it means there is a market to be had.

And if you are interested in that market, it's time to take your share of the pie.

You are not here to copy, just to take an idea and reshape it to your image. Your competitors may be successful but there are angles you can exploit with your own history and skills.

Times change, strategies change and six months is a long time in a period as fast as ours.

Some of our competitors remain in the past and by being at the forefront of innovations in your industry, you can take your share.

There are many other mental barriers but if I continue to write, I will have to charge you for the post so I'll see you soon.

Thank you for reading and have a nice sunday.

If you want to thank me and keep this channel going.

I don't ask you for money, but share the channel, share my tweets and especially the threads.

Great piece here 👆

A lot of the advice you will get will not work for you.

Especially from Twitter and/or Instagram.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing out on other creators.

Some of the advice you will get from me, will not work for you.

So it's not just about the others.

It's about everyone.

The reason is that, as you already know, I believe everyone to be a unique being.

We might be similar to each other in a few aspects but each one of us is a unique mix of experiences, biases, qualities and points of view.

So, how do you get the best from what you read online.

Rule 1: Don't believe it until you try it.

Rule 2: Don't talk about it until you try it.

Rule 3: Make sure you listen to those who live the type of life you want.

Listen:

Do not delegate your experience and thinking to some dude online.

Again, that includes me too.

A couple days ago, I told you that I wanted to make you smarter and make everyone here gain IQ points.

I need your help if this is going to happen.

I need you to become more critical and to question whatever information you're fed.

Do not take anything for face value.

Double check.

Then double check again the trustworthiness of every piece you read.

If it does not make sense to you, dig deeper.

Shed lights on whatever is too complicated.

Make sure you TRULY UNDERSTAND what you're being told.

Draw your own conclusions.

This is just a start.

Next we'll talk about making more connections and seeing patterns more quickly.

Basedonians, I know I have been a bit absent as of late.


But baby we're so fucking back.

Make yourself your priority.

Love begins with yourself.

If you don't love yourself, no one will love you.

Think of yourself first and you will be valued for it.

If you put people before yourself, they will see you as a disposable tool deserving of contempt and will use you.

But if you take a casual attitude toward them, they will take your every move as a favor.

One of the keys to the Social Game is detachment.

Stop worrying about what people think of you and your actions. Ignore sarcasm and be wary of compliments. If you ask too many questions, you give the impression that other people's opinions are more important than yours.

You come across as a beggar and your image is damaged.

To be truly detached, you must be convinced of your value so that you can impose yourself on the people you meet.

Remember that a woman is seduced first by the strength of your personality.

If you start asking too many questions and doubting yourself, she will also start asking questions about you and question your value.

Confidence is the single most important attribute for attracting women. When you have it, you are a sexy force to be reckoned with. When you don't have it, then you have NOTHING.

HAVING AN AURA OF CONFIDENCE IS INCREDIBLY SEXY TO WOMEN.

No amount of techniques or pickup lines will work if you lack this vital trait. It’s not what you say that matters, but how you say it that matters; always speak with extreme confidence. For anything that comes out of your mouth, OWN IT 100%!!!!

Confidence is the ultimate pillar that allows everything else to work. Women are constantly assessing “Is this guy the real deal, or is he bluffing?” If you look insecure or anxious, they assume that you are bluffing about your status in society. Boldness will open many doors. Enter all interactions with boldness. Self-doubt will close many doors.


What is confidence?

Confidence is having an INTENSE BELIEF that you are valuable and what you have to offer is valuable.
Confidence is having an INTENSE BELIEF that no matter what life throws at you, you will come out winning.
Confidence is the FIERCE CONVICTION that what you have to say is worth listening to.


A practical application of this is not needing constant reassurance that you are loved, and needed. Confident men assume things are going well; they operate under the assumption “it’s always ON.” Assume attraction is already there and you will find that this become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Don’t behave like a grandmother.

They’re not asking the insecure questions of:
“Do you like me?”
“Do you still like me?”
“Are you having fun?”
“Is everything okay?


In the game of power, the importance of confidence cannot be over emphasized; what you think about yourself is what people will come to think of you. This is an important principle of dealing with people.

If you think you’re a loser then other people will think you’re a loser.

If you think you’re a winner then other people will want to become associated with you.

Always exude strength, status, and an intense self-belief that you are a winner. In the game of seduction, women are absolutely ruthless when it comes to rejecting men that they view as low in social status. Just like women are ruthless when it comes to rejecting low social status options, you should be ruthless when it comes to utilizing attraction generating techniques.

A practical and easy exercise to RECOGNIZE THE PATTERNS:

What do smart people have in common?

They recognize patterns FAST.

So one thing that will help you develop this skill is working on your orientation sense.

Meaning, you should memorize roads and be able to extrapolate what you see on a map.

When I go to a new place, first thing I do is locate where I am on a map then walk/drive around to see what the things on the map are.

This is a work of learning by association.

You put an image on a map and it gives you a better idea of where you are.

This might sound basic, but it raises your awareness and makes you more aware of patterns.

If you wanna get smarter and increase your IQ, you should try this out.

Read my book review on Vizier - a masterpiece on human nature:

Go get a dose of healthy sarcasm.

I graduated geography and was always very good at orientation. I help people get to their destination using google maps or other apps even if i only see where they are on a map. I never thought there was a link between intelligence and orientation skills. But yeah, many people do think I am pretty smart. The map usually stays more or less in my mind and slowly i don't need it anymore regardless of the place.
