I think that it is extremely difficult to decide what is the most and least persuasive, because certain things will change the situation, the words could simply be spoken eloquently and some of the jury might already be convinced of the defendant's innocence... The courtroom is a game of persuasion, using evidence and colorful words to paint a portrait of guilt or innocence, or possibly even incompetency... We often let people convince us if we like what they're saying or how they're saying it, conveniently these tactics work in the courtroom as well.

I really liked the comparison between the parasite in the ant and the ideas in a human, as I was watching this video I couldn't help but feel very compelled by his words, I think that his talk was a very accurate description of how things in the mind work. The concept that an idea can be a virus in the brain and take over is scary but true. I hate to make this reference, but I think that Inception is really based on that idea... his wife kills herself because the idea, or virus, says that her world is not real.

I like the last line, "we ourselves are capable of unprecedented growth." It's nice to think about ourselves in that light, and its an optimistic picture for the future, but what are we actually accomplishing and what are we falling short on?? Words can only go so far, sorry to be sort of hypocritical, but action must be taken if change is your goal.
