Social Proof.
NO. 3 SOCIAL PROOF Extracted from: Robert Cialdini – Influence. 6 Weapons of Influence. If you ever thought that “liking” or using a heart emoji was something new and only invented and used by millennials you’d be wrong! In the 1820s two famous Paris Opera “habitues” (regular Opera-goers), Saunton and Porcher, created a phenomenon called claquing. They organized themselves under the title L’Assurance des Success Dramatique (assurance of dramatic success) and they leased themselves and their cohorts to enthusiastically support an opera or theatre performance by their rapturous applause and cries of “bravo”. This, they assured the Theatre owners, would guarantee the enjoyment, reception, and success of any performance. And they were right! By 1830 the practice of spiking your audience with “Calqueurs” was standard practice. From laughter to crying and “spontaneous” applause, the “chef de claque” and his team would lead the unsuspecting audience into the same emotions and enthusiasm and thereby ensuring that when hey left the theatre they would spread the word. This is the power of social proof at it’s manipulative best.

The Memories of Emotion
Uncertain to what becomes of this. Emotions of anger & confusion clouds our thoughts. In the moment, fear & anxiety manifests. Unable to decipher our true intentions we lash out in hopes to make sense of it all. Words being used to control what’s being heard only to make matters worse. We forget the importance of being present & fail to realize how much we care for one another. We have the best interest at heart for one another but rather than come to a consensus we trigger negative emotions that ends up bursting into flames.

Review of Jonathan Haidt's Book The Righteous Mind
I have been confusing for a long time about what isolates us into political groups in this nation and what to do about it. My better half discovered this book and recommended it to me. It's anything but an unusual book. It is all around explored and archived. I would propose perusing it in little sections and setting aside some effort to process what you have perused. There are 376 pages in the content and 114 pages of notes and references. I can't do equity to the entire book in an audit yet will give you a portion of the features. Haidt considers human to be as "moralistic, basic and critical." We usually consider ourselves to be arriving at a resolution in different manners and afterward creating emotions about our convictions. He finishes up from his and others' exploration that we have this regressive. We initially build up a supposition through instinct and experience and afterward search approaches to legitimize what we feel/think. He presents five good establishments whereupon we base our view of ourselves, one another and the world. First is the component of care/hurt in which we pay special mind to the helpless among us. Second is reasonableness/cheating with dissidents progressively worried about correspondence and traditionalists increasingly worried about proportionality (getting what you merit). Third is dependability/treachery which includes firm alliances and dangers to your gathering. Fourth is authority/disruption or duty regarding request and equity. Fifth and last is holiness/corruption, worried about the respectable and unadulterated parts of society. Nonconformists will in general be generally worried about the initial two establishments while moderates are commonly worried about each of the five.

Our Hearing Capabilities Eke Us Out
Even the very deaf human individuals are capable of perceiving sounds. Every which way, the ultimate creator did notice the very quivering of this world. He gifted the first creatures with "ears" (either ears or body parts of similar function), to get vibes of such a motion and survive. By the very moment, they first crawled upon the mainland; the first land-dwelling creatures had already evolved their lungs to hear.

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES.
IQ tests are very intimidating and at the same time compulsive. We want it and don’t want it at the same time. What if the test decides I don’t have as high a score as I thought I should have? Will I only show someone else if it’s high enough, (or potentially lie)? What does it actually mean anyway?

The Nostalgia Factor
Memories of the past rise as I travel onward. Moments of happy times remind me of how it used to be. Streaming sites update and what's seen is what I used to grow up with. The programs that use to be on the tv boxes that always had me adjust my life to where I would catch it in its time slot. The temporary separation from the world was more than a disconnect but a way of learning. Learning that gave a different perspective then what was presented. I scroll through Netflix to see it all, Xena: the Warrior Princess, Charmed, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Pieces of my generation collected together for those to binge-watch.
