Where belief is swayed by social pressure, we have the potential to develop, conjunction fallacy. Believing things to be based on false information and at times social group pressure. Hindsight is always 20/20. But, what happens when we have feelings that things were correct?

When we were hunting in our primitive times there was no guarantee of success and payoff from finding and or successfully hunting food. The times that we succeeded, there was a reward pathway, Dopamine response signaling pleasure and ensuring motivation to repeat that behavior again. That is a powerful experience. In today's modern day, we have found ways to bypass the survival experience and have tripped our pleasure/reward pathways indicating survival and most assuredly encouraging addiction to processes and behaviors that bring payoff in a big way albeit unreliably as well as consistent but degrading payoff schedule...

These are the elements that often determine how close we hold our idea of self or ego in regards to the recollection.

The shadow self may be in the dark but not because it is bad or evil. Often it is mistakenly shunned and relegated to our more primitive more base ideas of what our shadow is.

The cephalic phase of hunger extends to acquisition, seeking and hunting. By the visual recall alone will the body drive, seek and hunt to satiate a primal need to survive and to get survival level payoff/reward. By the same token it is the preceding spark that creates an anticipatory "high before the high" that if left unsatisfied can result in feelings of deprivation, irritation, anxiety, anger aggression, violence and even homicide and suicide at the extreme. This is a deeply powerful motivator of many behaviors that become destructive and toxic as well as very difficult to change...

Much of what we learn that is survival level social value we learn by observing body language and facial expressions as much as by direct instruction.

There is a conceptual idea of the "unknown" and the real, felt experiential perceived aspect of unknown that is perceptual.

When one recognizes where conflict occurs, the 5 approaches can assist in neutralizing and possibly even preventing the development on conflict in what would otherwise be a fluid social interaction.

Suggestion is a powerful mode of creating influence, personal power and transformation within an individual. The fake it till you make it adage pales in comparison to what a well-placed suggestion can do in the mind and life of the suggestable person. To be suggestible does not mean lacking intelligence and gullible. We are suggestible not only to the words but to what is implied by external environment and body language as much as we are the spoken word.

The three terms are often interchangeable in language but have far reaching impact in social interactions from discussion and convincing to destructive and violent displays that may start off as posturing or bravado.

Observation and being able to wait and suspend judgement are important skills to gain in self regulation whether it be a wooded outdoor environment or a more socialized interaction with people. Both require that we accurately interpret what we hear in our environment. These skills help us to become more skillful reckoners in interactions where we interact with others where we cannot afford to trust words as they are spoken and when behaviors appear to be authentic and genuine, especially when our preverbal, body and gut feels don't agree with what we are seeing and hearing.

This episode discusses the use of communication tools to prevent bad communication in domestic setting that far too often fall into arguing, yelling and intimidating tones and body language and even to the extremes of destructiveness and violence. The use of the tools of "getting down on their level" is not just a simplifying the message, it is a control of distance "proxemics" body movements "haptics" and speed of physical interaction. These are critical details when teaching our babies, toddlers and school aged "little ones". The key term is "little" versus a full grown adult in a stressful...

We often get stuck in social situations where our self image is at risk for compromise and we may believe that is potentially damaging and is a tangible terrible thing. When we realize that we are playing a socialized game of in-group and out-group dynamics that we feel trapped and unable to escape the socialized hamster wheel. Often we worry about saving face and preserving self-image and in high school this can lead to a great deal of stress that can lead to negative social pressure, acting out and death.

Running Man Self Regulation Skills ProjectUncanny Valley, Visual perception, Paradolia, Anthropomorphism and Faulty BeliefsEp 18. Visual perception is a large percentage of our day to day and moment to moment perceptual experience but is also prone to error under stress and high speed presentation of visual stimulus. The Uncanny valley was coined in 1970 as a response to the forward thinking of Japanese robotist Masaharu Mori when he hypothesized our response to increasingly human-like technology. The interpretation of visual stimulus very closely presages perceptual signals that we interpret resulting at times in faulty and inaccurate beliefs that can at times seem crazy, irrational or fantastical. The error is after the perception at the cognitive...

Categorical thinking is useful too when all assumptions of safety are met and we need to organize our world and the details of a task or job. When under stress or duress our best reasoning moves toward categorical thinking as an expedient to avoid wasting time and energy, especially during a situation with escalating stress. Often we become more apt to be quickly judgmental and we become more suggestible to our immediate environment, i.e., a football or soccer game with a stadium and lots of fans. This social suggestion can also pressure to see and believe things t...

Anger is not always about damage and destruction and is a normal human emotion. It is when we let anger drive without boundaries that creates hurt, complications in our lives and destruction.
