I think his message is so simple , and he ' s acting like a delusional buffoon for whatever reason , that people are reading too much into what he ' s saying . He ' s trying to get people to look at what emotionally drives them When you read someone ' s argument , is your goal to beat their argument ? What if their argument is true , then your response will be a distortion of what you know , or what the argument is saying , in order to achieve said goal . When you readhear someone ' s dissertation , do you let your trust in them supersede what they ' re saying ? Do you let your distrust in them supersede what they ' re saying ? Do you let your own values supersede what is possible outcome of other people ' s behavior ? E . g . No one thought Trump was going to be elected , since they saw him as an idiot , so the opposition was lazy . He played towards people ' s dissatisfaction with their current situation , thus they trusted him blindly without thinking about who he was and what of what he was saying could actually be achieved . It ' s so simple , that people don ' t get it , he might not even get it . It could be the fact that some people cannot be aware of when emotions are distorting their view of things and their actions . As you said , he ' s really not pushing logic , he ' s pushing emotional awareness . Logic is merely being bastardized and used as a symbol for clarity in one ' s decision making . Also , I think his use of intuition is such an integral part of his personality that he ' s currently incapable of being aware of his use of it . Where intuition points out continuity , logic seeks to point out discontinuity .
