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 […]
Blatantly Enjoy Sucking
Dancing Fool https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug21_Post.mp4 Once I was at this wedding. And I was in a really good mood. I was the best man, and I’d given I pretty good best man speech. I was pretty nervous leading up to the speech. But once I started, I was in the zone. I […]
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, […]
Frequency Instincts
1/2 Sine Wave https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug19_Post.mp4 Imagine some kids playing jump rope. Imagine two of the kids are holding the one long jump rope. And other kids are jumping in and out. What does it take to jump in and out? You have to read the frequency, literally. Jump in, do a […]
Eject Fakeness and Fear
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
Real Time Skills
Unfair Planet https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug12_Post.mp4 The Pareto distribution is an interesting concept. It says that 20% of any system does 80% of the work. For example, if you took all the athletes in any professional sport, 20% of the players score 80% of the points. This would easiest to see in something like basketball, […]
The Master Strategy of Time
Nothing Makes Sense https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug10_Post.mp4 Some things seem to be paradoxes on the surface. But paradoxes are really not an outward sign that something is “wrong.” Any paradox is a sign that we don’t have the total picture of what’s going on inside. For example, there’s a common idea that all self help […]
