In The power of wordsMario Sigman explains how certain he is limiting beliefs They conclude in an emotionally confused manner, with little data and stories related to their own and others’ stigma, which causes excessive identification with the sender who initiates arguments or outbursts near them. our way of seeing the world. It happens that this scientific evidence, Applied to current politics, it shows us that the effectiveness of emotions has replaced all debate. rational and sensiblemoving democracy towards demagogy, a prelude to any dictatorial and autocratic power. We are in this historical stage today, even if it has already happened in the past.
