Know Thyself https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2023/23Feb14_Post.mp3 Carl Jung is famous for saying: “Unless you make the unconscious conscious, it will drive your life and you will call it fate.” What does this mean?

Ambition Energy
Food Chasers https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Aug25_Post.mp3 A long, long time ago, we were persistence hunters. Or so some anthropologists believe. This is why we have arched feet and relatively hairless, sweaty bodies. The arched feet help us run for a long time without damaging our joints. Kind of like shock absorbers. Our sweaty […]
Protect Your Territory
Monkey People https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jun29_Post.mp3 Humans are very territorial. This is the idea behind “Molon Labe.” The inscription on the statue at Thermopylae. The famous battle between the 300 Spartans and the “Immortal” Persian army. The Persian general said lay down your weapons and we won’t kill you. Leonidas, the Spartan king […]
Instinct Management
No Move https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22May16_Post.mp3 Most people are lazy. Or rather, everybody is lazy. This is good. Very good. If our ancestors weren’t lazy, we would have gone extinct.

Ice Cream Or Carrots
Easy Peasy https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Feb09_Post.mp4 Suppose your neighbor came over one day, in a panic. She had a sudden and unexpected problem. A MASSIVE problem.

Effective Social Operator
Not Vulcans https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jan25_Post.mp4 It’s a pretty common idea that people are emotional creatures. This is pretty straightforward when you think of it from an “outside of your own head” perspective. We only developed “rational” thinking a short while ago. Most animals can be trained according to “operant conditioning.” Reward positive behavior, […]
Massive Respect and Admiration
Money Cheaters https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/Jan02_Post.mp4 Some people in society make a ton of money. Most don’t.
