Learning Center I went to an interesting lecture a couple of nights ago at a local learning center. The topic was the history of written language. It was only an hour, but the guy who taught went through a really quick bullet point overview, which was fascinating. Reading and writing are things we […]
Supply and Demand
Secrets Of The Global Brain These two words, supply and demand, seem very simple. They are known and supposedly understood by virtually anybody. They are ubiquitous, and if you know the words, but are a bit sketchy on the concepts, then you will fully understand them by the end of this post. Despite their simplicity, […]
Myths of NLP
What The Heck Is NLP? NLP has been around for a long time. It is a very peculiar set of communication tools. There are many beliefs surrounding NLP that are just plain false. The truth about NLP is that it is very simple to learn, and extremely powerful. But at the same time, there is […]
The Power Of Your Words
Stories have an incredible way of getting a point across. Since the dawn of time, humans have spent a lot of our spare time sitting around telling each other stories. Maybe it was the elder members of the tribe teaching the youngsters an important lesson. Maybe they were slowly evolving myths about the mysteries of […]
Magnetic Exchange For Fun and Profit
One thing that I love studying is economics. I don’t know why, it’s often referred to as the “dismal science,” because one, it can be pretty boring, and two, it brings to light things that most of us don’t like to have brought to light. One thing we humans like is a free lunch, or […]
How To Enthrall Crowds With Your Magnetism And Get Them Thinking About You When You’re Gone
Nested loops are a lot of fun. They are for a whole range of reasons, from entertainment to powerful persuasion. They’re based on a study done on some waiters and waitresses, which demonstrate why our brains hate “unfinished business.” Wait staff that had open tables (open loops, or unfinished business) tended to remember everything about […]
The Three Elements Of Every Persuasion
Every persuasion follows the same basic outline, whether you’re asking for the time or selling a billion dollar aircraft carrier. And according to the latest linguistic research, every conversation is a persuasion. The whole purpose of communication is to persuade. When you stop somebody on the street for the time, you’re trying to persuade them […]
The Hypnotic Power Of Ambiguity For Mind Boggling Confusion And Party Fun
I like playing around with language that is ambiguous. Meaning that it can go either way. This is one of the MAIN driving forces behind the patterns of covert hypnosis. You throw out a couple of ambiguous sentences, and your poor listener is suddenly burning up all their brain power trying to figure out just […]
How To Be More Persuasive Than Politicians
Contrary to what most people believe, politicians are NOT experts in NLP. Now, most people think that simply because they’ve got so much persuasive power, they must have been trained in some kind of black magic arts of persuasion and influence, right? Not really. The thing about covert hypnosis and NLP is that it was […]
The Secret Of Structure Language For Effortless and Powerful Persuasion
Most of us are easily seduced by content, but in reality we are influenced by structure.

Confusing, […]
