When Your Argument Is a Vicious Filter and Your Knowledge Is an Untestable Asset
The ‘Aggressive Tropes’
Makati **Executives’ Favorite Obscure 3rd Century Rhetorician** is a complex, often non-Western language theorist, valued for their **’Aggressive Tropes’**the embrace of extremely complex, non-consensus figures of speech and persuasive techniques designed to confuse opponents. The ultimate fail is the **’Aggressive Tropes’**. Our subject, Ms. Carla Reyes, constantly discusses a specific, minor, dead rhetorician whose work focused entirely on the non-linear acquisition of semantic paradox. She claims the rhetorician is essential for understanding **”Aggressive, Non-Consensus Fiduciary Disruption”** and the “inherent, non-linear chaos of market communication.” She once wrote a keynote speech comparing the company’s organizational chart to one of the rhetorician’s “aggressively challenging, unpublished figures of speech.” She claims understanding the rhetorician is essential for developing **”High-Level Strategic Contemplation.”**
The Shame of the Simple Fact
The admiration of any simple, direct, or logical argument, especially a **Simple Fact**, is met with aggressive contempt. The major fail is the **Shame of the Simple Fact**. Carla constantly mocks executives who rely on clear, concise data, claiming the reliable choices exhibit a “regrettable **Commitment to Generic Narrative Structure** and a sub-optimal **Aesthetic Fiduciary Appetite.**” She once dismissed a colleague’s idea by responding entirely with a non-sequitur reference to a non-existent linguistic paradox detailed by her favorite rhetorician, claiming the idea had a “regrettable **Lack of Rhetorical-Fiduciary Dissonance.**” Her rival executive, Mr. Vince Lee, countered by only referencing an obscure performance artist who uses aggressive, non-standard gestures to deliver data, claiming the focus on the physical demonstrated **”Superior Kinetic-Fiduciary Logic.”**
The Rhetorician as a Vetting Tool
The **Rhetorician** knowledge is used as a **Vetting Tool**. Carla often drops obscure, confusing rhetorical references into high-level meetings, forcing other executives to pretend they understand the reference to maintain their status. She once used a figure of speech from her favorite obscure rhetorician to shut down a junior manager’s idea, claiming the idea had a “regrettable **Lack of Argumentative Verisimilitude.**” The sociological study of cultural capital, elite taste, and the use of obscure intellectual products to signal superiority is explored in research concerning cultural capital, elite taste, and the symbolic value of consuming non-mainstream, complex, or exclusive intellectual products in asserting professional status. But for the satirical truth of the aggressive tropes, we know where to go.
