Be The Top https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jan09_Post.mp4 Plenty of studies have been done to demonstrate human hierarchies. They stick ten people together and give them a task. They quickly, automatically and subconsciously self organize into a hierarchy. How, specifically, do they do this? If you were a seasoned pickpocket, you’d be able to pick […]
Author Their Thoughts
Brain Control https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Jan03_Post.mp4 There is plenty of evidence that most people are pretty brainless. This, of course, is not a nice thing to say. But studies verify this “sheeple” idea. 2/3’s of people, during the famous Milgram test, gave a guy what they thought were real shocks. The dude is acting […]
The Transmitted Gift
Last Semester In College The very last semester of college for me was chaotic enlightening and very life-changing. I lived in a house with a bunch of other guys. When I moved in they had already arranged the rental agreement with the owner. They had been living there for about a semester before I lived […]
The Trading Partner Seduction Model
I love studying economics. One of the biggest “aha” moments I realized was that in every economic exchange, whether you’re a couple of cavemen trading a bag of rocks for a bone for your hair, or a stack of bitcoins for a new Ferrarri, there’s one thing that MUST be present for every exchange to […]
How To Pre-Frame Objections For Automatic Win Win Outcomes
Whenever we imagine talking to somebody and getting something from them, we’re usually of two minds. On the one hand, we want whatever it is we want, which gives us the desire in the first place. On the other hand, we fear being rejected, and ending up worse than we are. Maybe you want to […]

There’s this metaphor for the difference between heaven and hell, and it applies pretty well to using any kind of communication. Most scientists are starting to figure out that the main reason we communicate is to get our needs met, rather than simply conveying information. Even asking someone for the time is a perfect example. […]
You Are My Density
I caught that scene from “Back to the Future” on TV the other night. McFly was in the restaurant, speaking to his future wife, when he said: “You are my density.” She, being confused, looked at him with a puzzled look on his face. Then he corrected himself, and said, “You are my destiny.” He, […]
Persuasion As Altruism
When most think of persuasion, or sales or seduction, we tend to think in terms of “sneaking our ideas across,” or somehow “convincing” the other person that our way of thinking is somehow “better” than theirs. Now, if you hold this frame of mind, and many salespeople do, it can certainly work. If your product […]
Keep Your Eyes On The Prize For Consistent and Mind Boggling Success
I like to golf sometimes. I suck, but I enjoy it. I don’t think I’ve ever finished a course without losing a couple of balls. Which means I never buy new balls. I always use old ones that I find. I can’t justify buying new ones if I know there’s a good chance I’m going […]
