How’s That Avocado? https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Apr27_Post.mp3 Imagine a typical day for a typical person during a typical week. Let’s pick a Tuesday. Not quite halfway through the week. But far enough away from yesterday that the common Monday blues are starting to fade. Anyhow, let’s say you’re at the store. Picking up […]
Houdini Death Blows
Stuck Underwater https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Apr11_Post.mp4 I’ve always been a fan of Harry Houdini, the famous escape artist. There was a movie about him I’d seen as a kid, a whole bunch of times. He was put into a safe, and dropped into a frozen river. He escaped from the safe, but missed the hole […]
Elegant Seduction
Train Wreck https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Feb08_Post.mp4 There are a lot of problems in today’s society.

Make The World Obey You
People Searching https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Feb05_Post.mp4 There are plenty of ways to “sort” for people. If you are a guy looking for a gal to date, you have your “type.” If you are somebody interviewing for a job, you’ll have a basic set of qualifications. Both for the job, and general people skills. If […]
How To Dominate Socially
Independent Thought https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jan31_Post.mp4 One of the more interesting psychological experiments is the famous Milgram experiment. It showed, more or less, that 2/3’s of people will mindlessly obey an authority figure. Even if it means “shocking” another innocent person. In the test, the guy getting shocked was only pretending. Now the label […]
Trespassers Will Be Shot
Territorial Earthlings https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jan23_Post.mp4 Punching a bee hive would be a silly thing to do. Bees are programmed to defend their territory.

Become Linguistically Undefeatable
Verbal Smackdown https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jan22_Post.mp4 If you’re a TV journalist, or a famous podcaster, there are generally two ways to interview your guests. One is to help them express their ideas. That’s if you know you’re both on the same “team.” Very few people that are famous talking head types are purely neutral. […]
Your Most Valuable Asset
Hard Workers https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jan21_Post.mp4 Before the Industrial Revolution, there was the “Industrious Revolution.” The Industrial Revolution was based primarily on the discovery of fossil fuels. The steam engine had been known about, at least in concept, for a while. The basics of plenty of science had been thought about and sketched out for […]
Become A Conversational Hero
Good Vs. Evil https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jan20_Post.mp4 Tools and skills are amoral. Not bad or good in and of themselves. Like the proverbial driving skill. You can drive an ambulance, or you can drive a getaway car. Movies are filled with good guys and bad guys. Some are highly skilled good guys vs. […]
The Dark Triad Of Love
Dark Secrets https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jan19_Post.mp4 There’s a few potentially disconcerting ideas when it comes to attraction. For example, there’s the uncomfortable idea that girls go for “bad boy” types when they “should” go for the safer choice. But this is kind of like food. Attraction for people and attraction for food are driven by […]
