  • Intellectually charismatic people can sometimes dazzle their audience.
    • Their audience is convinced, but not because they understand, but because they are overwhelmed into intellectual acquiescence.
    • Understanding is fundamental; acquiescence is superficial.
    • That means that they have to be repeatedly reconvinced in a way they wouldn't have to if they understood.
