I know some of my friends would immediately go on to think of naughty things as soon as I mentioned seduction, and it is their fault that I am now forced to think of such naughty things as well.
Try not to think of pink elephants.
Anyway, seduction.
The art of manipulating and changing others' opinions.
As naughty as this may sound, everyone reading this has probably seduced, at some point. It may have been a logical argument leading to whether it was worth it to do your homework, a horribly loud fight intended to make your mom bleed from her ears and change her mind, or a truly sensual argument with a beautiful lady about what pizza toppings to have.
Seduction.
"Simulate your audience's emotions.
Change its opinion.
Get it to act." (22)
In the same way, to seduce a cop (hehe), one must first change his mood so that he would change his mind, possibly being lenient in terms of giving you a ticket. Calling the cop an inept gorilla may seem like a logical argument at the time, but chances are, the cop will get mad and send you to jail where you'll be forced to pick up soap from the bathroom floor.
But I digress.
If I were to learn all the little intricacies of argument, I might as well be the king of the crowds, the master of puppets. This book is quite didactic, and I feel smarter already. And that was only one chapter.
Oh, master. Teach me more.
