COP
I saw this article recently about MLK and the Civil Rights movement. MLK was very successful because in addition to the righteousness of his cause, he employed Game Theory. He figured that there were a lot of people on the fence. If he used violence, these people would swing over to a Law-and-Order perspective and the movement would fail. But if he used non-violence in places where the local authorities would react badly, the people in the middle would swing over to his point of view. He was obviously successful.
Moral: If you want to persuade people to see things your way, don’t be a jerk.
