Powerful Covert Persuasion With Presuppositions

The human brain is a wonderful computational machine that will likely not be understood for many years to come. Only now are scientists starting to scratch the surface of how the brain operates, and how the microscopic circuitry can give rise to complex emotional and psychological behavior.

One thing that mystifies many is how exactly language works. Until only recently, it was thought by many that the mind was a “blank slate,” and how we are raised, our culture, our religious, and even our language is determined by what we are taught.

While that may be true in some cases, in the case of language, there is more and more evidence that our brains are pre-wired to soak up language, and use a specific grammatical structure to translate our thoughts into sounds that others can easily understand.

At first glance, it may seem that different languages have nothing in common. If you’ve ever studied a language that differs from English in its SVO (subject verb object) structure, it can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking that the languages of the world are vastly different, so different that we can’t share a common grammar “organ” somewhere in our brain.

Yet experimental researchers in recent years are discovering that indeed, we seem to have a grammatical structure, and it is only a matter of flipping a few internal switches in the first few weeks of our life to figure out what the particular grammatical flavor of our culture of birth is. After that, it’s simply a matter of filling in the blanks.

This leads to some interesting phenomenon. One that is particularly useful, and particularly sneaky, it to leverage the pre existing structure of our language to carefully construct our speech to make it much easier to persuade somebody that by suing old fashioned logic.

There is a special class of language patterns called “Linguistic Presuppositions” that when used correctly, can have a powerful and dramatic effect on your ability to persuade unconsciously. And that means you can get other people to do what you want, and think what you want, all the while thinking that it was there idea.

There are 28 identified patterns of linguistic presuppositions, all of which will be described here in detail over the next few weeks.

Once you get skilled in using them, you will literally see the world in a whole new light. You will also be able look underneath the speech of others with laser like precision, to see precisely what they are thinking, and what is on their mind.

This can have profound effects on your ability to persuade, as well as dramatically increase the quality of the communication within your relationships.

Linguistic presuppositions are at once the least understood, yet one of the most powerful language patterns you can use for easy and natural persuasion.

Stay tuned for more information.
