CHAPTER XX 
 
TREND CREATION: THE POWER OF 
PERSUASION 
 
"We are not going to be able to operate our SPACESHIP EARTH successfully nor 
for much longer unless we see it as a whole spaceship and our fate as common. It 
has to be everybody or nobody." 
-Buckminster Fuller 
 
 
In a world full of persuaders, you can be one, too, or you can be someone 
who gets persuaded. You can direct your life or be directed. This book has really 
been about persuasion. 
 
Power today is the ability to communicate and the ability to persuade. If 
you're a persuader with no legs, you'll persuade someone to carry you. If you have 
no money, you'll persuade someone to lend you some. Persuasion may be the 
ultimate skill for creating change. 
 
In the modern world, persuasion isn't a choice. It's an ever-present fact of 
life. The difference in our children's behavior may be the difference between who is 
a greater persuader-you and I or the drug pusher. If you abdicate responsibility, 
there are plenty of others ready to do the persuading. 
 
One day when I started thinking about all of the "problems" of the world, I 
got very excited because I noticed a common relationship to them all-they're all 
behavioral problems! I hope you're using your precision model right now and are 
asking, "All?" If the source of the problem is not human behavior, there is usually 
a behavioral solution. For example, crime is not the problem-it's people's behavior 
that creates this thing we call crime. The way human beings behave is what 
creates or prevents war. Famine is not the problem in Africa. Human behavior is 
the problem. Destroying each other's land does not support the creation of a larger 
food supply.
