Braintraps & Manipulation Patterns Analysis
This project provides a comprehensive breakdown of rhetorical techniques, cognitive biases, and manipulation patterns used in the speech.
The Background
Fascinated by how our brains work, I’ve used AI to build a comprehensive database of over 150 manipulation patterns and "Braintraps," synthesized from various sources across the web. I distilled this knowledge into a custom AI Skill that has successfully helped me recognize—countless times—how I am being influenced by speeches, literature, marketing, and movies.
After listening to Trump's speech at the WEF today, I decided to analyze it using my Skill. I wasn't surprised to find that it employs over 80 of the 150 known patterns to manipulate the audience. That's when I decided to share these results with you!
Please excuse the simple design of the website. I would welcome your feedback!
