Words Like Loaded Pistols: The Power of Rhetoric from the Iron Age to the Information Age - Sam Leith
Shared by:hdgdf
“An entertaining history of great oratory” ( New Yorker ) and a primer to rhetoric’s key techniques
Rhetoric gives our words the power to inspire. But it’s not just for it’s all around us, whether you’re buttering up a key client or persuading your children to eat their vegetables. You have been using rhetoric yourself, all your life. After all, you know what a rhetorical question is, don’t you?
In Words Like Loaded Pistols , Sam Leith traces the art of argument from ancient Greece through the present day. He introduces verbal villains from Hitler to Donald Trump—and the three ethos, pathos, and logos. He explains how rhetoric works in speeches from Cicero to Zelensky and pays tribute to the rhetorical brilliance of AC/DC’s “Back in Black.” Before you know it, you’ll be confident in chiasmus and proud of your panegyrics—because rhetoric is useful, relevant, and crucial to understanding the world around us.

Bravo caesar963. You finally posted something in normal, non “chatgpt on LSD” English that didn’t attempt, and I emphasize ‘attempt’, to show everyone how incredibly clever you are.

Let me translate ( dumb down) what Pbcaddy said or is trying to say. Caesar talks in big words and makes smart words this scares me and I don’t like to think about big words. Now let me listen to Trump he us the smartest Qnon says so.
Ty for the upload it seems like I would enjoy it too.

By George, I think you’ve got it, cluckers. I thought the new fella there was just some sort of attention-seeking trollio. He mentioned chatGPT, so he must’ve seen another MAGA hat talking about that & was confused as to what it was. And when they gets confused, they gets angry.
