Sticks and stones: Language as a weapon
Thesis

The Netherlands, 2016
 

Whether one senses it or not, the art of argument surrounds us throughout our entire life. Sometimes imperceptible, at times very perceptible, but certainly always accruing in the form of persuasion. Language is much more than the shared understanding of a tool to communicate; it is the supreme software that drives our social lives.

A real-life Matrix coded out of letters, symbols, and persuasive arguments. Arguments that stand behind political labeling, marketing, media, advertising, social behavior, and so forth.

By the intelligent use of those codes, we continually persuade one another through the authority of emotion as a motivator.
