Free Will Illusion https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Sept14_Post.mp4 There’s an interesting TV show on Netflix. A popular German TV show called “Dark.” About a whole bunch of time travel loops and paradoxes. One of the underlying themes is free will. All the characters keep running into different versions of themselves. And all of them […]
What Kind Of Today Do You Want?
Dialing For Dollars https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Sept12_Post.mp4 There are two ways to sell things. Or two extremes. On one extreme, is the memorized sales pitch. An extreme case would be a memorized phone pitch. A pitch written out on a piece of paper you have taped in front of you. An auto dialer […]
Who’s Richer Than Scrooge McDuck?
Fictional Riches https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Sept09_Post.mp4 I read an interesting article a few weeks ago. It was in a business magazine. The article was about the ten richest fictional characters. The first was Scrooge McDuck. There’s plenty of photographic evidence of his riches. Mainly the one with him in a huge swimming pool […]
Embedded Conversational Commands
Deep Tech https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Sept05_Post.mp4 If you’ve ever studied a foreign language, you now the recognition is much easier than production. Meaning you can understand words, and their meaning, much easier than you can produce those words. This is why there are a lot of believable characters that can understand each other in their native […]
Throw ME The Keys
Foreshadowing https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug25_Post.mp4 There’s an interesting idea that was essentially invented by Shakespeare. The very first scene would, if you were paying attention, explain everything. Two dudes up on stage talking about something. Since it was the very first scene, the tendency would be to just soak it in and see what happens. […]
Master The Magic Triangle
Circular Lines https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug23_Post.mp4 A lot of cool ideas are discovered independently. Like the Pythagorean formula. Most kids are taught this in junior high school. The idea (A^2 + B^2 = C^2) is pretty simple. You’ve got a right triangle. One side, another side, and the hypotenuse. Like you’ve got […]
Embrace Your Inner Suck
No Respect https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug20_Post.mp4 Rodney Dangerfield was a famous comedian. He became mainstream way back in the movie, “Caddyshack.” His whole bit was centered around how much disrespect he got. He’d tell a joke, and then follow it up with his “go to” move. He’d loosen or straighten his tie and say, […]
The Stradivarius Seduction Pattern
Learning Rhythm https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug16_Post.mp4 One time, way back in college, I took a jazz appreciation class. I knew nothing about music, at all, at the time. But I was a fan of blues-based rock. Rolling stones, Jimi Hendrix, Clapton, Led Zeppelin, etc. And much to my surprise, I learned a lot of […]
Thrive On Clown Show Planet
Rulers and Workers https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug09_Post.mp4 One of my favorite lines is from an old Clint Eastwood movie. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. A couple of guys chasing after some gold hidden somewhere. The good guy was Clint Eastwood. He and the ugly guy were more or less working together. […]
The Deserving Paradox
Lazy Monkey People https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug06_Post.mp4 Humans are basically lazy. That’s a good thing. All animals have evolved a max ROI instinct. To spend as little effort as possible, to get as much return as possible. Monkeys climb the shortest trees to get the fattest bananas. Birds of prey get the fattest […]
