Have you ever noticed how much credit we give to good writers. You could call them storytellers and you could call them manipulators. Both words fit, and still they are more... Most easily attribute wisdom to people because of how they present information, analyzing the presentation and ignoring the content. People have always been susceptible to grandiose speeches, from Alexander the Great, to Winston Churchill and Adolph Hitler. people are so driven by their emotions that if you can tap into them you can change people's beliefs.
