Down: 1) One important rhetorical tactic is to approach a debate with a vibe that is the opposite of that given off by your opponent. Across: 2) Eugenics is indispensable in politics. 3) Imagination is a capacity to put things in images, but it cannot reproduce the power and vividness of sense itself. 4) Persuasion is like a physical power and it explains certain actions as if they were brought about by compulsion, but it is not absolute in the same way. 5) I have various explanations, and all of them show that Helen of Troy was not responsible for her own actions—huzzah, rhetoric! 6) Logic in English has a far more specific meaning than its etymological root in Greek—such that the word “logic” is a kind of false friend for the etymon. 7) Political systems in which majorities rule are actually just studies in the power and pathology of peer pressure. 8) Skepticism involves being able to distance yourself from both the assertion that something is the case and simultaneously the denial that something is the case—there is always this third agnostic possibility. 9) The art of persuasion is akin to drugging its victims rather than pursuing truth. 10) The wise and those who love wisdom are actually very similar, in the sense that they’re both concerned with examining people’s assumptions. 11) No action has a definitive status as good or bad; it always depends on the context in which the action is performed. 12) Law is a kind of impersonalized force that supplants violence. 13) Nursery rhymes are the most effective political propaganda. 14) Speaking to crowds to persuade rather than discussing with friends with time to think is actually dangerous for your psychological and spiritual health. 15) In life, we rarely have knock-down evidence of things and must reason toward them indirectly from circumstances. 16) Verisimilitude is more important—or, at least, more powerful—than truth. Whether something actually is the case is less important than that it seem so. Plausibility is king. 17) Governments are distinguished from other things by making arguments that only they get to decide in some matters. 18) When to use your words, when to use the stick—these are the real questions of politics.
