HOW DO YOU WIN ON A BATTLEFIELD OF IDEAS? by J Loren Norris
HOW DO YOU WIN ON A BATTLEFIELD OF IDEAS?
“In many wars, there is no winner. There’s simply those left standing when the shooting is done. In a war of ideas, the battlefield of ideas is seldom littered with broken bodies, but often littered with bruised egos, damaged pride and broken wills. Sadly, attrition is seldom accomplished by common sense, truth, facts or reality but rather is driven back by emotional bullies and illogical rhetoric. So how do you win a battle for ideas?” J Loren Norris

FOUR STEPS TO WIN ON THE BATTLEFIELD OF IDEAS
1. KEEP YOUR PEACE AND WITS - STAY CALM
Stay calm so you can think and use your logical brain not your emotions to make choices.
2. KNOW YOUR FACTS, YOUR DATA, THE MOST COMMONLY ACCEPTED TRUTH
Build rapport by connecting with shared emotions, but speak logically with the most reliable facts.
3. BE PATIENT
Buoys float. Anchors hold the ship. Neither control the storm, they simply hold on until it has passed.
4. BE PERSISTENT - CONSISTENT - RELIABLE
If you followed all three steps above, you have likely found the peace of knowing the truth has been revealed after all the lies were exposed and the emotional hype has waned. If on the other hand, you skipped one of those steps, or all of them and allowed your opinion to be swayed in the heat of the moment, there will be a day of reckoning, whether personal and private or publicly pronounced. Truth is in no hurry. People are the ones who rush to make judgements.
This battle was here before you came along and will remain long after you’re gone. The best you can hope for is to own fully and hold firmly the slivers of truth you choose to live by and stand your ground in the storms of life.
Remain confident in this: the truth always wins eventually and this battle of ideas is an infinite game.
