Understanding how appealing to intention can be used to manipulate you is one of the core components to understanding intellectual self-defense.

thank you…good info……but if you will entertain my thought , one I have used for 50 years is that you are asking “why” is it effective” I contend that it will be different for EVERYONE and sometimes vastly different if you want to get to the heart of the matter ask WHAT is effective whys are different but WHAT is what it is…now you can deal with what is going on.
I agree that everyone is very different. The point I’m making in the video is that, for whatever reason, there seems to be a particular hangup in large swaths of people when it comes to appealing to intention.
