“We seem to know when to 'tap the heart.' Others have hit the intellect. We can hit them in all emotional way. Those who appeal to the intellect only appeal to a very limited group.

“Our sense of identity is in large measure conferred on us by others in the ways they treat or mistreat us, recognize or ignore us, praise us or punish us. Some people make us timid and shy; others elicit our sex appeal and dominance. In some groups we are made leaders, while in others we are reduced to being followers. We come to live up to or down to the expectations others have of us.” PeopleWayMadeSexLeaderGroupsIdentityExpectationsTreatsPraiseAppealsShyFollowersDominanceSex AppealMistreat Book:The Lucifer Effect: How Good People Turn Evil Source: The Lucifer Effect: How Good People Turn Evil
“Over the past few years, the Supreme Court was six times more likely to accept cases from an elite group of 66 lawyers than it was from more than 99 percent of those who petitioned the court. That's the finding of a recent Reuters special report called "The Echo Chamber." It illustrates how almost half the appeals accepted by the court over a nine-year period came from this cadre of elite lawyers--many of whom have personal connections to the nine justices.” YearsPastJusticeHalfAcceptingCasesGroupsSpecialPeriodsSixFindingsPercentConnectionsCourtLawyerAcceptedSupremeNineAppealsReportsElitesEchoesSupreme CourtChamberOver The PastNine YearsPersonal ConnectionCadre Author:Dahlia Lithwick
“One's worth and self-regard ought to come from individual competitive performance, not from group identity. Pride based on clan or tribal connections is atavistic.

“Remember back then we thought about al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan and a few other places? well, we've seen al Qaeda metastasize. It is now a global scourge. And you have the ascendancy of ISIL.

“Bismarck had cunningly taught the parties not to aim at national appeal but to represent interests. They remained class or sectional pressure-groups under the Republic. This was fatal, for it made the party system, and with it democratic parliamentarianism, seem a divisive rather than a unifying factor. Worse: it meant the parties never produced a leader who appealed beyond the narrow limits of his own following.” MadeSeemsInterestPartyLeaderClassGroupsTaughtLimitsPressureAimDemocraticFollowingFactorsAppealsRepublicUnifyingPressure GroupsBismarck Author:Paul Johnson
