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. We all have a collection of instincts that motivate us to get the most benefit for the least effort. But we also […]
Get A Million Dollars
Buy Low Sell High https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Apr30_Post.mp3 One of my favorite jokes is from a long, long time ago. Like way back in Junior High School.

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. A common “complaint” about those who make a ton of money is that the are “cheating” somehow. And in the past few years, they are. This is a function of our financial system. It’s very easy […]

Intermittent Love Game
Recalibrated Instincts https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/May07_Post.mp4 A very common idea is that most of the food we eat is overly processed. Some believe this is a deliberate plan to kill us.
