THIS TRICK LETS YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE BEING MANIPULATED!

So this is how social media starts roping you in. This is how politics cult leaders will recruit you into a cult. It's the number one way that we influence another human being. Micro compliance. And hypnosis is a great example of this. Like I can have a person laying on the floor unconscious in maybe a minute and a half. And it's very easy to do. Anybody can learn to do it. But one of the things you'll see me do at the beginning of that is like give me your hand, put both hands out like this, and then flip them over. You look all the way up and down. I make them do like 50 things. None of the things that I just did with them are meaningful. Everything was micro compliance. And you don't realize that you're going through massive amount of compliance in order to get your behavior to change or influence another human being. Use what works for brainwashing because our brains have not developed one more wrinkle in the last 200,000 years. So a regular example of this is novelty. Anything novel hijacks our brain. So if you're trying to change your beliefs or you want to lose this weight, change something up in your life. Change your wardrobe. Repaint the walls in your office, you need to tell the animal part of our brain here because this has been proven on fMRI studies that the decision shows up before we're conscious of it. What about humanto human skills? So people are starving to have great conversations that are very influential, which means that if I'm an attorney, I can sway a jury. If I'm a hostage negotiator, I save people's lives. If I'm a parent, I raise better kids because I can communicate in a way that gets the outcome that I'm looking for. And you can do that with any of these techniques like negative dissociation, the childhood development triangle. There's this thing called the PCP model. And when it comes to influencing human beings, that is the most important thing that you could ever understand. — That might just be the most important skill in the world. So, let's do some role playing. All right.
