Also a tip for persuasion: I find it’s much more persuasive to let people discover things themselves. Feeding them the discovery makes ppl defensive. Leading them to the discovery lets them get to take credit and be the hero. If you just tell them flat out what they’re missing it sometimes triggers a defense mechanism, they unconsciously play devils advocate and try to discredit your proposal as a defense mechanism, because they get a little embarrassed that they didn’t think of it.
example: your buddy is venting about being stuck in debt and he’s doing everything he can and can’t make any progress getting out. Meanwhile you already know his wife is the root of the financial issues. If you want him to really tackle the issue you don’t jump in with “Have you talked to your wife about her Amazon Shopping addiction?” Instead you lead him to where he can take credit for finding the solution himself -instead you change the subject and ask him “oh hey before I forget, do you have any extra cardboard boxes or bubble wrap i can have? I am cleaning out the clutter in my house and I have some items listed on eBay and I want to save on shipping costs, even trash boxes, I don’t care if I need to pull them out of your recycling bin, it’s money in my pocket”
Then you’ll see the wheels spinning as he tells you they you’re in luck, the recycle bin won’t even close because there is so much cardboard in it! Then there may be a delay but sometimes They’ll tell you all about the grand solution they discovered recently…
Sometimes indirect persuasion is the only way to persuade people. It’s especially true when ego is on the line. So if someone enthusiastically mentions Tari, or epic, try to avoid attacking the projects, their ego might be linked to the moment of discovery! Instead softly lead them to a place where they can find an even better discovery! $grin!
This example is good for active p2p persuasion on messaging boards, x, instagram comments etc but we can also set up passive indirect persuasion with cleverly associated articles, videos, blog posts, even merch sales!
If you vibe with this topic what other ways can we put grin as close to center of the periphery when eyes are on other mimblewimble projects?
eeee I’ll say this - it’s an entertaining conspiracy theory backed by 0 evidence, there’s no leverage to it. More grin devs will come with time. Until then keep up the good work on the videos!
