I don't think that people in power can be convinced by words or articles. They will never give it up by choice.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People in power have to be careful about what comes out of their mouth. They have to find exactly the right word that can't be attacked.
There is obviously a power and a truth in action that doesn't lie, which words easily can do.
I don't believe in the power of words.
At least in the West, politicians, corporations and media moguls can no longer take for granted their power to control the public discourse - and have it go unchallenged.
The public is not to see where power lies, how it shapes policy, and for what ends. Rather, people are to hate and fear one another.
Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.
I believe that at the end of the century the use of words and general educated opinion will have altered so much that one will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted.
Power is the most persuasive rhetoric.
Of course, you can't legislate for how people are going to read.
Rhetoric, which is the use of language to inform or persuade, is very important in shaping public opinion. We are very easily fooled by language and how it is used by others.
