#11 Two more words: Paradigm shift.

#22 Refer to anyone who does not immediately agree with you as being uneducated on the matter, lacking in important information, or just plain too stupid to understand your magnificent statements.

#42 (Corollary to #11 for advanced purveyors of Woo) Drop the word "paradigm" and just talk about "The Shift" with knowing certainty. If probed for details, see #22.

#43 If you can't explain something clearly and/or are short on detail, just claim "It's visionary!!!".
