Black rhetoric is a magical demagogic tool that allows you to persuade your opponent to a different point of view.
The magical power of language lies in the ability to argue and debate, emphasize, propagate, and conduct a debate so that the speaker always gains the upper hand—by hook or by crook.
SECRET #1
All kinds of “taunts,” comments, and maneuvers that can displease the interlocutor are necessary in conversation to demonstrate one’s own superiority.
How to use:
– Consider who you are talking to, what your goal is, and the general context of the discussion.
– Deliberate provocations and deliberately unconventional thought processes will certainly bring you success, but first you must learn to adequately assess your interlocutors and clearly understand the true state of affairs. – A conversational strategy allows you to seize dominant positions or neutralize the initially dominant position of your opponent/conversation partner.
SECRET #2
You will be able to “sell” your words profitably only if you learn to purposefully present your arguments and compel your interlocutor to listen.
How to use:
– Hone your rhetorical and dialectical skills.
– Fill your statements with facts and set a clear direction for your interlocutor.
– On the eve of important negotiations, consistently and professionally summarize what exactly you want to convey to your interlocutor, and speak your formulations out loud—this will help you identify possible flaws.
– Define the opposing party’s position as briefly as possible, and come up with possible examples of statements you will hear.
– Repeat the most important points of your message frequently, returning to them again and again in various sections of the conversation and in subsequent meetings.
SECRET #3
Bluff when circumstances require it. A successful bluff is better than a painful defeat!
Defeats do not contribute to future success. Forget the common formulas for consolation that you’ve probably heard after yet another failure—they’re all just empty words that have no bearing on what’s really going on. Instead, try bluffing at some point: for example, if you notice some signs of uncertainty in your opponent.
How to apply:
– The rules of the game can be changed, adapted to suit you and the situation, but it’s best to establish them anew each time. Never agree to play by someone else’s rules if they don’t suit you; instead, set your own.
– Everyone gets the partner they deserve; educate yourself—and, if necessary, your partner.
– Don’t wait for your opponent to ask you to take control of the game. Only you can take the initiative.
– Never underestimate the cards you’re dealt, but if your chances of success seem utterly slim, boldly take a risk and bluff.
SECRET #4
You shouldn’t always rely solely on the magical power of words; the strategy of silence also has its advantages. Silence is an element of communication that only a few people master, and even fewer know how to use it purposefully and consciously.
How to use:
– During active communication, silence is one of the tricks that allows you to instill a strong sense of insecurity in your interlocutor, forcing them, within just a second or two, to start saying anything at all, just to avoid silence.
– Take advantage of this opportunity; try simply remaining silent sometime, and you’ll see that your opponent will immediately say too much or rashly agree to a compromise that’s unfavorable to them.
– Try not to break down prematurely; hold the pause until the end. Silence can successfully substitute for the lack of necessary arguments, provoking the other person to break the pause without waiting for an explanation from you—this is also one way to conduct a conversation.
SECRET #5
Carefully examine the information given to you and don’t allow your attention to be diverted from the main to the secondary.
How to use:
– The more persistently a certain model for evaluating the information offered is imposed on you, the more reasons you have to reject it.
– If you are offered certain selection criteria or ready-made facts, carefully consider whether they are truly indicative.
– Imposed models of perception are an excellent foundation for manipulation.
