A descriptive sentence about me
From The Crowd by Gustave Le Bon,
Logical minds, accustomed to being convinced by a chain of somewhat close reasoning, cannot avoid having recourse to this mode of persuasion when addressing crowds, and the inability of their arguments always surprises them.
I actually read that in Bryan Caplan’s The Myth of the Rational Voter, which I’m thoroughly enjoying.
