Replication https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Sept02_Post_1.mp4 The best communication is reverse engineered from naturals. Naturals of all kinds. Who win through survivorship bias. For example, one of the most powerful kinds of hypnosis was reverse engineered from Milton Erickson. And Erickson designed it himself, from pure trial and error. A lifetime of trial and […]
Real Conversational Magic
That Guy! https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug31_Post.mp4 I remember, long, long ago, watching the movie “Ice Age.” It was a very happy experience. My then girlfriend and I decided to watch a movie. She chose. The movie happened to be Ice Age. A perfectly calibrated, comedy date movie. A bunch of cave dudes […]
There’s No Place Like Home
Lost https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug30_Post.mp4 Once I went hiking with a buddy. A week long hike. Part of our plan was to cut across this mountain range. If we walked around the mountain range, it would have taken an extra six hours or so. But if we cut across, like our guidebook recommended was […]
Twin Weapons Of Love
Love Metaphors https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug28_Post.mp4 We use metaphors much more than we realize. Even when we talk about science we use metaphors. If you wanted to read something written in “pure” science, it would be REALLY boring. So any kind of science that makes it to the mainstream has been put through a kind […]
Keep Them Spellbound
What? https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug27_Post.mp4 Human memory is an interesting thing. The weirdest things can trigger it. Smell is pretty strong. I remember one guy telling me when he knew the ghost of his grandmother was near. When he was a kid, she would make banana bread on Sundays. So it would be […]
Do You Know Your Purpose?
Junk Vs. Real https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug26_Post.mp4 A very famous “pattern” from NLP is the “quotes” pattern. And like anything else from NLP, it’s taken out of context, never really tried, and lives in the world of “magic.” It’s things like this that make people treat NLP as a pseudo since. Which most of it […]
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. […]
Become A God Among Men
Once Upon A Time https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug24_Post.mp4 We humans love a good story. The entire storytelling industry is in the billions. Movies, TV, fiction, graphic novels, even video games all satisfy this storytelling need. We need stories like we need food and sex. Imagine what it must have been like way back before […]
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 […]
Don’t Be A Bruised Apple
Apples https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug22_Post.mp4 Once I saw a picture from the soviet union. From way back in the day. It was kind of like a Monty Python movie. Where they had one guy selling nothing. “I’ve got nothing for sale!” Funny in a movie, where everybody starving and broke in the dark […]
