Who are you?

How do you describe what you do for work?

It's so hard.

But if I'm talking to somebody that's boring, I'll just tell them I teach psychology stuff.

But if I want to get into it, I'll say, you know, I teach everything from brainwashing to interrogation.

Apply it on yourself and other people.

And most of what I do is train sales teams nowadays.

So sales has gotten really addicted to this stuff.

But I've studied neuroscience for a long time.

And I've spent my life trying to figure out how the brain works and how to shift human behavior.

Not just like to get someone to confess to something in an interrogation, but how do we modify our own behavior?

And what are the mechanics that make that possible?

Do you think we're living in the most psychologically manipulated era in human history?

Yes, absolutely.

Hands down.

But I mean, you go to ancient Rome, some shit would happen and they would say, hey, do the lion fighting thing with the guy.

Let's distract everybody.

So I don't think it's new.

I think it's a lot more pervasive though.

Is that because of it being facilitated through technology or is that because of a requirement for control?
