Appealing Always on the Basis of Logic
Speak logically, positively; avoiding the use of painful emotion in all language, policies, and tactics; speaking and appealing always on the basis of logic rather than distress (hate, fear, anger, despair, and so on). This is one of the real contributions of RC to wide world changing knowledge. Attempts to motivate people on the basis of painful emotion exacerbate the very difficulties which keep them from moving. To persist on the basis of logic will eventually win through even the heaviest distress patterns, since reality continually offers arguments supportive of your position.
