Fictional Riches https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Sept09_Post.mp4 I read an interesting article a few weeks ago. It was in a business magazine. The article was about the ten richest fictional characters. The first was Scrooge McDuck. There’s plenty of photographic evidence of his riches. Mainly the one with him in a huge swimming pool […]
Zero Interest Hamburgers
Spinach https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug14_Post.mp4 Way back in the day, Popeye cartoons were popular. When I was a kid, they had OLD Popeye cartoons on TV. Popeye of course, is the goofy guy who ate spinach, got really strong and beat the crap out of the bad guys. But he had a buddy named Wimpy. […]
Become A Master of Time
Slow People https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug13_Post.mp4 The transition from hunting to farming was very, very slow. At least 5,000 years. The last ice age ended about 11,000 years ago. The very first pre-Sumerian cities didn’t pop up until about 5,000 BC or so. What took them so long? The lifestyle of a hunter-gather […]
Real Time Skills
Unfair Planet https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug12_Post.mp4 The Pareto distribution is an interesting concept. It says that 20% of any system does 80% of the work. For example, if you took all the athletes in any professional sport, 20% of the players score 80% of the points. This would easiest to see in something like basketball, […]
The Master Strategy of Time
Nothing Makes Sense https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug10_Post.mp4 Some things seem to be paradoxes on the surface. But paradoxes are really not an outward sign that something is “wrong.” Any paradox is a sign that we don’t have the total picture of what’s going on inside. For example, there’s a common idea that all self help […]
The Deserving Paradox
Lazy Monkey People https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug06_Post.mp4 Humans are basically lazy. That’s a good thing. All animals have evolved a max ROI instinct. To spend as little effort as possible, to get as much return as possible. Monkeys climb the shortest trees to get the fattest bananas. Birds of prey get the fattest […]
Einstein’s Theory Of Hypnosis
Make Time Fly https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July16_Post.mp4 One of the problems of science is it outside of our intuition. Even things like large numbers are hard to understand.

How To Destroy Evil
Modern Hero https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Jun16_Post.mp4 A long, long time ago, I took a class at a local church on the Book of Revelation. It was at a Catholic church, which has a slightly different view of that particular book. Their stance is that it is a metaphor, and can’t be interpreted on its own. […]
How To Be Outcome Independent
Arrow Vs. Target https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/May12_Post.mp4 The idea of outcome independence is pretty common. That if you’re in a situation where you really WANT the outcome, it makes it harder to get it. This is best understood from a purely brain engineering standpoint. Let’s say you’re going in for a job interview. Not […]
