Not Funny https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug17_Post.mp4 I took an improv class once. I had not idea what it was, it was recommended to me. I thought it was going to be about comedy. But it was about improv in the context of any kind of stage acting. Plays are based on memorized lines. […]
Become A Master of Time
Slow People https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug13_Post.mp4 The transition from hunting to farming was very, very slow. At least 5,000 years. The last ice age ended about 11,000 years ago. The very first pre-Sumerian cities didn’t pop up until about 5,000 BC or so. What took them so long? The lifestyle of a hunter-gather […]
Useless Truisms Vs Strategies
Totally Dude https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July21_Post.mp4 There are a lot of cool “truisms” that sound pretty cool. But what’s often missing is a usable strategy. On a more meta scale, you’ll find this everywhere. Technically, it’s when we humans mistake a “description” for a cause. This is kind of hard to wrap your mind […]
Eject Debilitating Brain Bombs
What Happened? https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July20_Post.mp4 One of the interesting things about us humans is our memory. How utterly crappy it is. They tell us exactly what to study. Exactly when the test is going to be. And if we’re lucky, we get a B. Plenty of studies have been to show when […]
Do You Have Broken Bones?
Bone Man https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July19_Post.mp4 Imagine you were riding your bicycle down the street. A pretty busy street. And some idiot was checking their facebook and crashed into you. They ran over both your legs. They didn’t stop. Both your legs had compound fractures. Bones sticking out. Your first response […]
Plato’s Cave and Big Boobs
Hypnosis Pill https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July17_Post.mp4 There are many different definitions of hypnosis. Or actual arguments that hypnosis doesn’t exist. Some believe that we are always under a state of hypnosis. But this constant state of hypnosis is limiting. So we need to “de-hypnotize” ourselves. This metaphor is pretty ubiquitous and has been […]
You Are The River
Numbers Are Huge https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July11_Post.mp4 Once I had this chemistry professor. First day of class he was trying to impress upon us the enormity of the numbers involved in chemistry. Most of us can’t fathom anything beyond a couple dozen. There’s all these infographics about how big different quantities of money are. […]
Baseball vs. Football Lifestyle
Pass The Chips https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July10_Post.mp4 Humans are pretty lazy animals. Which, paradoxically, is our best trait. Or one of our best traits. A long, long time ago, we split based on gender. Men hunted, and got protein and fat. Women gathered, and got roots, nuts, etc. This made is different […]
Maximum Love Transactions
Toy Story https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July08_Post.mp4 Imagine if you’d decided to clean up your attic. Or basement or whatever. And you found a TON of trading cards that you forgot you had. Or any kind of toys you can imagine finding. And you did some checking online, and found they were worth a TON […]
Are You Selling Jesus To Strangers?
Creepy Salespeople https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July05_Post.mp4 Imagine you’re hanging out somewhere. Not exactly a club or a bar, but some place in the daytime. Where it’s not exactly expected, but under the right circumstances, it would be OK to approach and start a conversation with somebody. Like a bookstore, or supermarket or something. Anyhow, […]
