“As is evident, only one percent of people are worth arguing with. Let the rest say whatever they want. After all, everyone has the right to be foolish.”

The Art of Always Being Right is a biting and sardonic treatise written by the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer with sarcastic humor. In this particular essay, the philosopher examines and presents thirty-eight tricks that can help someone convince their opponent of what they are saying and win an argument.

However, with a deeper analysis, the reader understands that Schopenhauer aims to introduce us to the various forms of demagoguery and the techniques used by demagogues around the world.
