Key Quotes:
“These are about as different messages and communities and content as you could get. But the effect on these people are exactly the same. What's that about? And it turns out, there's this sense of tribalism, there's the use of sound and music, and sensory cues, there's repetition... There's this concept that the content of what someone is, quote, unquote, selling determines whether it's ethical, useful, or moral.” - Michael F. Schein
“The reality is human beings are designed not to see the world accurately. They're designed to see the world in a way that lets us survive and lets us reproduce.” - Michael F. Schein
“There are people who care so much about their cause, that they're willing to learn these [marketing] things. And they have a moral code that lets them sort of stay in the center and they also know how to emotionally regulate.” - Michael F. Schein
“We let our emotions get in the way. And that's a good thing. The problem with that is some of the best people with the best ideas, they throw the baby out with the bathwater, they willfully reject driving attention and emotion around what they're selling, what their messages are.” - Michael F. Schein
