    Priming train of thought
  • jacqueline maero
     
    okay guys! here is my list of the most important information i have extracted from the packet a lot info from the packet.
    -highway hypnosis
    -every physical object you encounter triggers a blitz of associations throughout your mind
    -priming: when a stimulus in the past affects the way you behave and think or the way you perceive another stimulus later on.
    -priming works best when you are on autopilot
    -you cannot self-prime; priming has to be unconscious
    -you are always of two minds at one moment; the higher-level rational self and the lower-level emotional self
    -you are unaware of how unaware you are --> you know more then you know

    (2:28) I am really surprised at and interested in his attack on goal setting. I have always been a goal setter myself and i at first did not know how to take his criticism of the practice. Most intellectuals are major goal setters so i feel like this makes his opinion a minority amongst his peers.
    I personally feel like a older soul with older ideas and therefore older methods. I love the methods of my 65 year old parents so goal setting is very successful for me personally. I think a key aspect is what kind of goals you are setting. Yes it is true if you set shallow goals or impossible goals, the method will not work like how Mr. Fry said it would not. But if your goals are one step at a time toward an end result of true happiest, goals will work for you.

    (7:00) I love his, "nobody cares about you!" attitude. I think in this age of entitlement, too many people are looking for sympathy and finding excuses not to work hard. I think if more younger people thought the way he thought about this particular topic, there would be more production and progression in the world. We would have more solutions then problems as well. I strive to remember that "nobody cares about me" and i need to make a difference before i deserve a second glance.
