Glib alone doesn't mean a thing if it's nonsense. Yet folks buy it 24/7 365. Is it because they can't comprehend what is being said? Do they not listen and realize that the glib are often spouting gibberish? Why? Maybe gibberish is hypnotizing/mesmerizing/seductive. It deadens the mind to everything. The bell rings, the dog salivates because in prior similar situations food came after the bell so it "knows" food is coming even though it often doesn't. Once the reflex action is set in motion everything else is automatic.. The glib starts, the mind tunes out and the audience starts salivating.
