Public Screaming https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Nov04_Post.mp3 A long time ago I went to Toastmasters. A pretty fun experience. One speech I gave was all about fear. How it clouds your thinking, makes you much more inefficient, etc. The club met in a big bookstore with a coffee shop. So in front of the […]
Mind Control Potential
Meteor Juice https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jan05_Post.mp4 A long time ago, I saw an interesting episode of Smallville. The TV show about Clark Kent as a high school kid. This weird meteor landed, and had some strange properties. Whoever got some of the “meteor juice” on them could essentially mind control people. As luck would […]
You Are The River
Numbers Are Huge https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July11_Post.mp4 Once I had this chemistry professor. First day of class he was trying to impress upon us the enormity of the numbers involved in chemistry. Most of us can’t fathom anything beyond a couple dozen. There’s all these infographics about how big different quantities of money are. […]
Baseball vs. Football Lifestyle
Pass The Chips https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July10_Post.mp4 Humans are pretty lazy animals. Which, paradoxically, is our best trait. Or one of our best traits. A long, long time ago, we split based on gender. Men hunted, and got protein and fat. Women gathered, and got roots, nuts, etc. This made is different […]
Stop Building Up Regret
Two Truth Levels https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July09_Post.mp4 There are a lot of “truisms” from self help. They are true, but only helpful if you “understand them.” Most people only understand them on a superficial level. But once you experience them, you “get them” on a much deeper level. A much more intuitive and experiential […]
Maximum Love Transactions
Toy Story https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July08_Post.mp4 Imagine if you’d decided to clean up your attic. Or basement or whatever. And you found a TON of trading cards that you forgot you had. Or any kind of toys you can imagine finding. And you did some checking online, and found they were worth a TON […]
What Signals Are You Sending?
Humans vs. Vulcans https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July07_Post.mp4 Why do people have job interviews? Particularly for highly technical jobs. Let’s assume we are visiting aliens to earth and we need to report on human behavior. We are highly advanced species, kind of like Vulcans. From a pure logical frame of mind, it seems like a […]
Rise Above The Pack Of Beggars
I’m Hungry https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July06_Post.mp4 Way back in the day, long before agriculture, there was a very clear transition point. This is very, very hard to imagine today, but if you force your mind on this idea, it will be helpful. Back then, everybody was almost always hungry. The only time people weren’t hungry […]
Are You Selling Jesus To Strangers?
Creepy Salespeople https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July05_Post.mp4 Imagine you’re hanging out somewhere. Not exactly a club or a bar, but some place in the daytime. Where it’s not exactly expected, but under the right circumstances, it would be OK to approach and start a conversation with somebody. Like a bookstore, or supermarket or something. Anyhow, […]
Covertly Lead Bullies To Destruction
Instinctive Fakeouts https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Apr22_Post.mp4 One of the “tricks” that athletes use is to get the other play to “commit.” Even animals have this built into them. A gazelle is running away from a lion, the gazelle suddenly turns sharply to the left, the lion changes course, and then the gazelle goes the other way. […]
