Technique 2: Extreme Irony
Technique 2: Extreme Irony
Also known as "the art of being completely wrong while still being right-ish", Technique 2 is a delicate dance of cognitive dissonance and self-delusion.
Key Principles:
- Deny the evidence, but still claim to be based on facts.
- Make sweeping generalizations with reckless abandon.
- Use buzzwords like "synergy" and "paradigm" to sound important.
- Be completely unapologetic in the face of contradiction.
Real-World Applications:
- Politics: A delicate balance of "I know, but also, no, just trust me on this one, I swear."
- Advertising: Where else can you get away with saying something completely opposite of what you're actually selling?
- Social Media: The only place where "fake news" is the new norm.
