public speaking

I was asked if I would be interested in a Public speaking training course.
I did attend one quite a few years back because I know how extremely shy I am. Heck I even get anxious meeting a big group of people, though I know this is different.

I was trying to look up the course and found this article instead.

Here is a snippet:

In his essay “Writing and Speaking” Paul Graham noted something very important that is tangentially related to Berkun’s point, i.e., good writing is rooted in good thinking, while good speaking needn’t necessarily be. [1] A good speaker who is motivating and passionate can often convince people of silly things despite glaring logical inconsistencies, a good writer doesn’t have this luxury. Graham makes this point as follows: “As you decrease the intelligence of the audience, being a good speaker is increasingly a matter of being a good bullshitter.” There is undoubetdly some truth to that claim, I’m just not sure how much.

Such a coincidence that I was texting a friend about the latest political inadequacies surrounding our area at the moment. Question being how so many things can just simply not make any sense... Ah, now I see.
