Now, we here have recently had occasion to remember that not all Listeners should be lumped together. With some Listeners, there appears to be an impentrable barrier to their hearing. Or, to paraphrase the famous line which is the source of the name of NSB: "There are none so deaf as those who will not hear."
But other Listeners presumably are not so deeply invested in remaining unaware of those blatant and vital truths that underly our call for impeachment. Perhaps they simply have not been paying so much attention, or have not been working on seeing the patterns that the bits of information form together.
With those people, we are challenged to speak in a manner that evades "The Curse of Knowledge," i.e. that does not depend upon their knowing what seems clear to us, their not already hearing in their minds the tune that we already hear clearly in our own.
This passage --and indeed the book MADE TO STICK as a whole-- helps to raise the question: Just how should we fashion a message to our fellow Americans that will help them to more fully understand (and act on) the lawlessness of this regime and the need to strip them of their powers to wreak further destruction?
