    And if an arms control agreement does exist, it’s just a trap for those naive enough to think such things work.

    Putin got us to avoid prepping for a Ukraine invasion simply by repeating that he wasn’t going to invade. And right up until the very moment it happened, the dominant conversation still was not based on the premise that he was going to.

    The whole concept of doublespeak works because humans have a powerful compulsion to simply believe what others say. Even if we know their actions and their words are in conflict, we have an extremely hard time following our observations of their actions, and ignoring their words.

    It’s like the Stroop task, but with other humans’ behavior instead of ink colors.
