Self Learning https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Nov26_Post.mp3 One of the recent breakthroughs in computer learning was deep learning. The specific program was called AlphaZero, by company DeepMind, which was later bought by Google. How, specifically, did it learn? By playing against itself. All they did was program it with the rules of chess. And […]
Conversational Trance
Two Sides https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Nov25_Post.mp3 In the world of communication, there is content and there is structure. If you focus too much on the actual words, you’ll miss the structure. The structure of communication is what drives emotions. This is how people get into big trouble. They “think” things are going well and […]
Dominate Conversations
Rehearsal https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Nov24_Post.mp3 There’s an interesting reason why people believe in conspiracy theories. And that is “man on the street” interviews seem much more articulate than how most people speak. For example, I remember way back shortly after 9-11. They interviewed a witness. Somebody who saw it happen. And the description […]
Your Precious Resource
Puppy Pattern https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jun22_Post.mp3 A very common scenario happens with kids and parents. First a request, then a promise, then a typical unfolding. First, the kid wants a puppy. The parents say taking care of a puppy is a lot of work. The kid promises he’s up for the task. The […]
Build A Gorgeous Brain
Compensation https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jun18_Post.mp3 A recent study found that during economic downturns, dudes tend to hit the gym more aggressively. This makes sense. In a very broad way, dudes are valuable based on productivity. Based on resources. Ladies, on the other hand, at least from an instinctive standpoint, are more based on youth […]
High Altitude Brain
Lost Hay https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jun09_Post.mp3 My friend told me once about a maze he went through. Somewhere in the Midwest. Made out of bales of hay. If you got lost, they had these “towers” you could climb up on and get a larger view. So you could game out your escape. Getting […]
Secret Weapon Brain
Most Powerful Skill https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July31_Post.mp4 A very useful practice is image streaming. Originally it was presented in a book by Win Wenger as a means to increase IQ. In the book (The Einstein Factor) he referenced a study where college students did image streaming for a while. And the preliminary results suggest (not […]
One Phrase To Rule Them All
Words And Thoughts https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Apr25_Post.mp4 The power of language is the other side of the power of thought. Nobody, even the world’s best scientists are sure how, specifically, they are connected. People do make assumptions about you if you don’t say much. Beyond language, we still have a lot of ways to measure […]
Develop Impressive Verbal Flow
Unique Practice https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Mar14_Post.mp4 I watched a goofy movie a few days ago. One person’s skill was being able to come up with rhyming verbal smackdowns. Kind of like one way rap battles. Her character was the archetype of somebody who doesn’t have “book smarts” but instead has very valuable “street smarts.” […]
Become A Modern Killer
Didn’t See That Coming https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Mar12_Post.mp4 I saw a really goofy movie the other day. A low budget, low tech anthology of horror-like stories. But kind of like Twilight Zone, with twist endings. One of them was about a boxer, about to get kicked out of his gym. Because he kept losing. […]
