"Now, persuasion is a generic skill—it’s probably not enough to build a career on. You need to combine it in a skill stack, as Scott Adams writes."

Naval quotes Scott Adams, dilbert creator who has on the record said things like this:

"But in general, society is organized as a virtual prison for men's natural desires. I don't have a solution in mind. It's a zero sum game. If men get everything they want, women lose, and vice versa. And there's no real middle ground because that would look like tweeting a picture of your junk with your underpants still on. Some things just don't have a compromise solution."

"Naval: Tony Soprano was a businessman who had to enforce his own contracts. That’s a very complicated business."

Just for others' edification, I'd like to point out that Tony Soprano is not a real person.
