Get the buildering mug.To "convince" by "bewildering".
To convince someone of the validity of an argument that they themselves do not understand based partially on their perception of your confidence in it and based partially on their fear of appearing ignorant by questioning it. This is generally accomplished by purposely overloading a person or people with a litany of seemingly relevant and apparently reasonable facts and supporting sub-arguments wrapped in convoluted logic to the extent that that they are unable to grasp the argument while purposely exploiting their fear of appearing ignorant by questioning it. They therefore come to believe your argument without understanding it because they believe you understand it and since they don‘t you are evidently smarter than they are and you must therefore be correct. The argument relies on no particular validity but rather on their belief in your confidence and their fear that they will be openly punished for their ignorance if the argument is questioned.

How had the relationship gone wrong? Could she have just trashed him? No, she must have meant... something else... because... words are only words, he can't be all of those things she called him... or any of them. After so many good times... and why was it getting dark so fast? He'd find his way out of the Bewilderness, in a day or a year. Maybe.

Get the Bewilderness mug.like normal rock climbing, buildering takes place in an urban setting on man-made objects such as buildings. usually only practiced by those crazy rock climbers, the point is to spot a very climb-able looking surface and attempt to scale it in sneakers with no other equipment.
