I remember this one time I really wanted people to agree with what I was about to present. Knowing how narrow my presentation to a number of people's understand was, I had to start it like this: "Most of you understand the importance of school culture". By making my first hypothesis a fact led a lot if not all into agreeing with everything I had to say there on. The issue with most people is that if you happen to elevate them by telling them that they have the skills and knowledge on the topic, it is only 1% of the human race can devaluate themselves by disagreeing on the hypothesis.

Human beings have a very unique pattern of behaviour which makes us very vulnerable to manipulation. Like if you tell someone: "I know you trust me, don't you trust me?". First by telling the person that you are sure about their thoughts and judgements on you and asking them to conform to such makes your flaunted expectations on them almost something they can barely escape but rather agree that they trust you.ย

You ever meet someone and tell them that they must really be wealthy, after which you ask for favour? Fact being that you have made the person think they are wealthy enough, chances are high that they will end up giving you their last $100. A girl once approached me saying " you look like someone who always has airtime", she later went on to ask if she can make a call on my phone. I had pretty little airtime, I gave her the phone to call anyway. If she could've just asked to call without exaggerating my social class I would not have even thought about giving her the phone in the first case.
