You told me what they are not but not what they are, you told less than half thes tory, golfed one shot out of par. Started the hole but didnt finish it. I could go on.

Can you see a star from where you are ? I can see one out the crack in the curtain.

Congratulations! Your socialization with the community in Sift Lounge has earned you your "Lounge Lizard" Level 6 Badge!

What text(s) would you recommend?

Actually, there is an enormous literature on persuasion, argument, attitude change, etc. Social psychologists love that stuff. You should look into the psychology of persuasion, it's fascinating -- but prepare to be depressed.

As to your 'mental states', I doubt it's black and white. I'd say it's a continuum as per jonny's comments, and shifts along this continuum are due to attending — or not attending — to certain cues at certain times that change the way you argue.

Hey - do you have any interest in taking the Brain channel? Or did I already ask you that once before? I don't know of any other VS users with a significant background or interest in brain science that might want the channel. I barely have time to visit VS on occasion now, much less try to properly maintain a channel.

[edit] I'm pretty sure that dag and lucky would go for it despite the gold star. You've been around and contributed too much.
