What I Learned About Persuasion

Nuclear power is incredibly safe, and there are a lot of reasons to prefer it over other forms of power. So i was really interested in how do you persuade people? Persuasion is all about manipulating people's emotions in indifferent ways. And so at best, what the superior expert can do is just learn all of the opportunistic tricks that he or she will be on level playing field with the others. In my experience, this is a way too pessimistic.
