Money can make people emotional but..; Cognitive miser; World may be peopled; points to ponder By Dr. Sohail Ansari

Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words).

He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism

·       Credible lies are the selection of truth or the stretching of it.

Money can make people emotional but not emotional about.  

·        Nothing is so emotion-producing as money; therefore, inspirational dictates of political parties must obeyed by writers being paid to do so. Money must then make political attempts to control the subject-matter of literature successful, but emotions are not generated by ideas rather ideas are generated by emotions.  If the immediate anticipation, not pie-in-the sky is needed for the generation of any inspirational quality then emotions must be produced by immediate facts; and so here we are: political group thinks that they pay writers to get emotional about its philosophy, and writer becomes emotional about anticipated money. ‘Press may not be successful’, as Bernard Cohen observed, ‘in telling people what to think, but it is stunningly successful in telling its readers what to think about’; and money is successful in making creative people to be emotional but is not successful in making them what to be emotional about. .  

Cognitive miser   

·       People are cognitive misers. They live in a society of mass information but this is the degree of interest that allows superficial factors to persuade them.  

World may be peopled with men in form   

·       Every man is the man in form but man in essence is the fearless man. Every smoker is the man of substance as he is fearless in the face of threats of cancer. We hope to have only the men of form as men of substance would soon die of lung cancer.    

Points to ponder   

·       Staying on message that is repeating it over and over will yield no brilliant success if message is not confined to a few points.

·       Conclusions about a matter apart from impartial examinations of facts can be provoked by constructing a negative opinion about a set of beliefs or ideas.
