PART 4 OF 1-2-3 Manipulate Me The Art of Manipulation Part 4 The Metaphysics of Manipulation Part 4
Finally, MASTER MANIPULATORS like to appeal to readers/listeners through the art of logic or a sense of logos. This is commonly called the logical appeal, and you can use two different types of logic. You can use inductive logic by giving your readers a bunch of similar examples and then drawing from them a general proposition. This logic is pretty simple given this, that, and the other thing-poof, there you go, a conclusion. Or, you can use the deductive enthymeme by giving your readers a few general propositions and then drawing from them a specific truth. Like, "because such-'n-such is true and such-'n-such is true and such-'n-such is true and everybody agrees on this other thing, then-poof, stands to reason, a new truth.
