Brainwash Yourself

Good morning. It is Wednesday and I am off to Coffee Morning shortly. 

I use my computer mainly for educational purposes, because there is always something new to learn. I cannot sit in front of a screen and be drawn in by banal celebrity entertainment. I used to watch soaps, and anything else which gave me a reminder that someone else was in the room, even though it was a face on a screen. It was company for a while. 

One day it suddenly came to me. My life was being taken over. It got me thinking outside the box. What is the point of watching soaps, quiz shows, celebrity shenanigans and suchlike. I asked myself, when did watching television stop becoming entertaining? When I realised that all I was doing was watching other people working. 

I had enough drama, entertainment, and fun, in my real life. I don't need to watch other people earning a crust. They go to work, learn a script, then perform in front of a camera. Yeah there might have been one or two documentaries thrown into the mix, but they were few and far between. Not worth paying for the licence to watch them. So 25 years ago I got rid of the tele and stopped paying the licence fee. 

So what do I do now? I find useful stuff on the internet which interests me. 

I came across Chase Hughes. 

Chase Hughes is the founder and CEO of Applied Behavior Research, a leading expert in the field of human behavioral science, and a neuroscientist. After serving in the U.S. Navy for 20 years, Chase developed world-class behavior science tools, such as rapid behavior profiling and enhanced persuasion techniques, which he teaches to the United States military, law enforcement, Fortune-500 CEOs, doctors, attorneys, executives, and intelligence organizations.

This is an interview he did with Doug Bopst. There was such a lot in this video which resonated with me. Parking it here because I need to watch it again and make notes. 

Now I am off to Coffee Morning.

Thanks for popping in. Catch ya later. Toodle pip.   ilona
