George Lakoff studies language, what it means, how we use it and how it reflects our thoughts. He has looked deeply into how our mind is built and how our neurons work to make decisions. In short, he is a neurological linguist.

This interview from the young turks (theyoungturks.com) should be part of persuasion 101 for the liberal political movement. I have always been amazed that the meat of the political message is NEVER as important as the sizzle. Damn. Seems to keep the republicans in charge for ever. Even when they are vastly outgunned.

Yes, I know it's a lengthy video: learning how and why to create a sound bite can't be delivered as a sound bite. Sit back, turn on your mind and enjoy.

  • This is a quite remarkable discussion about the neurology of politics. Very interesting and in depth discussion about how emotions are tied to our perceptions of reality.

    I am going to bookmark this one and view it again; perhaps even buy the book.
