https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Feb22_Post.mp4 There are some pretty funny jokes based on logical fallacies. Based on the following structure. All kangaroos are mammals. But not all mammals are kangaroos. The joke involves some kind if misinterpretation of this. Sometimes this is used as a kind of "seemingly insightful" political statement. For example, imagine the following said with utmost seriousness: "Not all people who support candidate are X, but all bad people support candidate X." But that sentence basic logical truth can be twisted in pre

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Feb18_Post.mp4 Humans are not nearly as logical as we like to believe. Or at least in the WAY we like to believe. We are logical, but the inputs are subjective. For example, you're standing in front of a buffet. And you've got one more spot on your plate. A baked potato, or some fries? It may feel like a random decision, but it's purely logical. You look at both, and each one gives you a certain feeling. Most of this happens subconsciously, but it happens. Each choices gives you a feeling that is based on LOT o

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Feb11_Post.mp4 The halo effect is a very real thing. Or as it is commonly called, "beauty privilege." Of course this is one of those "truths" we very much don't like to accept. If you ARE a pretty person, you very much want to believe your success is due to something in your control. Not your lucky genetics. Similarly, for us non-beauties, we don't like to believe looks matter so much. Because if they REALLY do matter as much as we think they do, that means us non-beautiful types are screwed. But here's the thing. T

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Feb01_Loop.mp4 One common but rare experience is meeting somebody you just "click" with. Not necessarily in a romantic setting, but a friendship or even a random conversation. For example, when I was younger I used to play golf. I sucked, and I had some hand me down clubs, but it was fun. If only to get outside and walk around on the grass for a couple hours. But one thing you run into when playing golf is if you aren't playing with four people, you end up getting stuck with somebody. They send out groups of four every five m

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Jan31_Post.mp4 There's a very interesting book called "40 Centuries of Price Controls." 40 centuries is 4,000 years. About as long as recorded history. And they show all the examples of a very common scenario. The government tries to make laws regarding prices. They make the rules assuming everybody will willingly and obediently do whatever the government says. The people say, "Uh, yeah, whatever," and do what they always do. Figure out ways AROUND the price controls. For example about ten years ago in San Francisco

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Jan28_Post.mp4 Amino acids are pretty cool. DNA and amino acids work together to build protein. Your body is made up of protein. Whoever invented this system was pretty smart. Your DNA unravels, and creates a kind of "mini-factory" for the amino acids to come down and link together. As the individual amino acids link together according to that tiny section of unraveled DNA, they build proteins. Proteins make up everything about you. Your eyes, your brain, and all the memories included in your brain. Of course, your

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Jan27_Post.mp4 Ever since I've been in high school, I've loved cycling. When I was in college, whenever I had some spare time, I'd go riding up and down hills. I liked riding up and down. Riding up was kind of like hiking. You keep grinding, and every once in a while you stop and look around and see how much higher you are. But going down is a different kind of thrill. A spending of carefully saved up potential energy. The fastest I've ever coasted downhill was 53 miles per hour. A perfect hill for coasting. St

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Jan03_Post.mp4 I remember a particular daydream that I enjoyed back in Junior High School. It would usually "happen" in English class. One the most boring classes I ever had. One of the most boring teachers I've ever had. With one of the lamest teachers I've ever had. The daydream was somehow having been "discovered" by a movie star I had a crush on way back then. The day dream was I'd be sitting in class. Somebody from the office would interrupt the class, with a "call slip" saying I had to report to the principals offi

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Jan01_Post.mp4 Humans love to daydream. Normally, this is thought to be a waste of time. We even chastise ourselves. You're watching an interesting movie or TV show. Your mind starts to wander. Then the music indicates something significant just happened. So you go back and see what you missed. This happens quite a bit in conversations. Some studies indicate that if you're sitting in school watching a lecture, your mind drifts about every 10-15 seconds or so. This is why studying on your own is about the least

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Dec31Post.mp4 Once upon a time, humans were like every other animal. We had to chase after our food, kill it, and eat it. This is why they think we developed arched feet and sweaty, hairless bodies. Sweat so we could bleed off body heat, without needing to stop and pant, like the animals we were chasing. Arched feet so absorb the impact. Once we caught the animal, we killed it, and ate it raw. Until a couple million years ago. When we invented fire. The first time we could purposely harness energy OUTSIDE our body.

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Dec30Post.mp4 There are three very simple, yet powerful ideas, that, when put together, will make all the difference. The first one is imagined to be good, but is really bad. The second and third are thought to be neutral, but are, in really, utterly fantastic. The first one: That is the idea of SHOULD. Most everybody has an idea of what other people SHOULD do. This is the source of all frustration, as the Buddha once said. Thinking somebody SHOULD do something, and then they don't, is frustrating. You learn a pick

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Dec29Post.mp4 Let's do an experiment. A kind of future fantasy visualization experiment. Imagine, for a moment, it's a couple years in the future. And you have, somehow, become famous. Think about that. Being famous, but only in the BEST way. The way that you would imagine being the best way. The perfect balance of fame and anonymity, according to your own preferences. First, what would you LIKE to be famous for? For of a creation, like an invention, or a best selling novel? Or more like a behavior? L

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Dec12Post.mp4 One of the biggest rules in fiction is "show, don't tell." A closely related rule is Dale Carnegie's rule of persuasion. That is, you can get anybody to do anything if you convince them it was their idea. How are these two similar? Imagine a ideal sales page. One such ideal sales page was for the Wall Street Journal. Told as a story. Once upon a time there were two guys. Both guys were similar in pretty much everything. Same background, same college degree from similar colleges. Same marriage

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Nov21Post.mp4 Jigsaw puzzles are fun. When I was a kid, way back in the day, they were fun. They are fun today. Go to any hobby type shop and you'll find tons of jigsaw puzzles. They say humans like puzzles in general. It feels good when we solve them. It feels good when we find two missing pieces that are supposed to be together. This ancient instinct, of solving puzzles, helped us to find food when it wasn't obvious. Stick a bunch of atoms in a container, add a little bit of heat and they'll start hooking up.

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Nov20Post.mp4 A very good "meta strategy" is based on the golden rule. To treat others the way you would like to be treated. This idea has been around for a long time. It's so common, it sounds childish and even ineffective. It's often put together with similar sounding thoughts like "turn the other cheek." But it can be useful, but ONLY if you understand it and calibrate it. For example, the phrase "you gotta spend money to make money" is absolutely true. At the same time, it's far from guaranteed. You might even s

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Nov07Post.mp4 There are three basic categories of all persuasion. Most everybody, including seasoned sales people, use the first one. This is the stereotypical TV salesman. He or she is very charismatic and well spoken. A guy or gal who radiates genuine frame strength, based on a lot of factors. One is that they're a genuinely good person. Somebody who has finally found their niche in life. Selling TVs or cars or whatever else they are selling. They are like the stereotypical Zig Ziglar door to door salesman who USE
