Reading Tea Leaves https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/22Jun30_Post.mp3 One of my favorite books is called “Reminiscences of a Stock Operator” by Jesse Livingston. It was an autobiography of a guy named Jesse Livermore. An old school stock market operator from back during the early 1900’s. He got his start in “bucket shops.” These were essentially […]
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, […]
Your Meta Instinct To Rule Them All
Split Test https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/May23_Post.mp4 Natural selection is a very, very powerful tool. It doesn’t just work with evolution. It is also a fantastic marketing tool. The idea of a “split test” is central to natural selection. Advertisers have been using split tests for a long time. Split tests allow you to find […]
Are You Making It Up As You Go Along?
I used to be a huge fan of the X-files. Alien conspiracy, supernatural stuff, all kinds of government involvement. One surprising thing about that show was it led to the idea of the “Chris Carter” effect, after the shows creator and main writer. The show was on for several years, and if you aren’t familiar, […]
How To Get Everything You Want (Girls, Gold Watches, Etc.)
When it comes to meeting girls, most guys paint themselves into a corner before they even get started. On the one hand, we all know that success breeds success. The opposite of this is that if you don’t have ANY success, you’ll never get any. It’s like there’s this HUGE mental border between guys with […]
Daily Steps To A Life Filled With Greatness And Unlimited Abundance
It’s been said that inch by inch, life’s a cinch. But yard by yard, life is hard. What does that mean? If you have a big goal, it’s a lot easier to make very small, very easy consistent daily steps than start off with a huge amount of willpower and determination. Understanding your own “motivational […]
What Are YOUR Sights Set On?
Most guys try to “wing it” when meeting girls for potential relationships, and they even try to “wing it” within a relationship. Meaning they figure they’ll know what to do once the situation presents itself. This can work, but it also makes it feel like you are the mercy of the gods. Leading to thoughts […]
How Often Are You Manipulated?
Optical illusions are pretty cool, and they are very similar, in structure, to jokes. With optical illusions, you trick your brain into seeing two different things at the same time. Like that famous one that’s either a young lady looking one way, or an old lady looking the other way. You brain flips back and […]
Wisdom From Dumbledore
There’s a cool line from the Harry Potter movies (and books if you’ve read them) regarding the difference between imagination and reality. (spoiler alert lol) There’s a scene where Harry is supposedly “dead” and while he’s dead, he’s talking to another character (Dumbledore) who’s also “dead.” Dumbledore gives Harry a bunch of wizard wisdom, and […]
What Are Your Filters?
Your brain is an amazing tool that you most likely take for granted. After all, how often do you think about how you think? About as often as a fish contemplates the water he’s swimming around in, right? But consider this: Every single second your senses are hit with millions of bits of information. PER […]
