Summary
In this episode of Persuasion, I teach you how to use a simple technique called " simultaneous sip" to get your brain to think about your favorite beverage. You'll develop and grow a new high-income skill every week, the same way I mentored my first 3 millionaire students and over 60 others who have now replaced rat-race life with freedom life.

Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the best experience in your entire life.
00:00:08.640
Some say it's the highlight of human civilization, and I say, no, no, it's not the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:16.580
It's the highlight of all civilizations and all creatures throughout the universe.
00:00:25.100
And if you'd like to take it up a notch, it wouldn't be hard.
00:00:28.180
All you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tankard chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:49.380
There's a little tingle on your arm, back of your neck.
00:00:53.440
Are you starting to feel your dopamine engine kicking in?
00:01:09.520
All right, now here's a question for all of you, both on Locals platform and YouTube.
00:01:17.600
For those of you who have been doing the simultaneous sip for some time now, how many of you can feel an actual physical sensation during the simultaneous sip?
00:01:31.880
How many of you actually feel a lift, like legitimately, physically?
00:01:42.900
So you can see in the comments, quite a few of you.
00:01:56.920
And so, of course, you naturally feel good when you're doing things you like.
00:02:05.360
Now, I tell you this because persuasion to be ethical should also be fully disclosed.
00:02:12.740
In other words, you should only be persuaded in ways you think are good for you.
00:02:17.640
And if you don't want to be persuaded that way, you should know what's happening so you can act accordingly.
00:02:23.160
And it is my intention, and I'll make it as clear as possible.
00:02:32.580
The clarity of your intention is hugely persuasive.
00:02:40.780
It could be even something you intend that's somewhat irrational.
00:02:55.980
So the first thing you know is that when I do the simultaneous sip,
00:02:59.920
I'm telling you directly and consistently, I want you to feel physically good.
00:03:05.360
And I want you to be able to pair the trigger, you know, the simultaneous sip,
00:03:11.500
with the feeling good until one of them can trigger the other.
00:03:15.880
Very basic understanding of how bodies and brains work.
00:03:26.180
And then pairing two things, any two sensations, they'll be compared in your mind.
00:03:36.040
And here's another persuasion technique, by the way.
00:03:40.760
When I tell you to have a beverage of any kind, that's technique.
00:03:46.960
It's the same reason that Dilbert doesn't have a last name.
00:03:52.740
Famous comic character doesn't have a last name.
00:03:55.440
You also don't know the name of the company he works at,
00:04:02.000
You don't know the name of the company, because it doesn't have one.
00:04:07.220
The boss is the most frequent character in the Dilbert comic.
00:04:16.960
The most frequent character, even more than Dilbert, is the boss.
00:04:36.560
If I can tell you to think about your favorite beverage,
00:04:44.440
And then you'll pair a good thought with whatever I want you to pair with.
00:04:50.220
But if I said, imagine you're drinking a Long Island, you know,
00:05:03.280
So the more specific you are, the more reasons you give people to reject you or reject your persuasion.
00:05:11.560
Very important tip is that I want people to relate to Dilbert, so I don't give the boss a name, so that that boss can be?
00:05:29.120
That boss is your boss, because it doesn't have a name.
00:05:39.720
If I gave it a name, it wouldn't be your company.
00:05:43.220
But it can be your company, because it doesn't have a name.
00:05:49.280
So that's why I say a beverage of your preference, because I don't want to eliminate people who would say,
00:05:57.860
I do say coffee because, you know, that works for so many people.
00:06:07.440
So I am intentionally giving you a clear intention, an ambiguous reference to pleasure that you will pair with this experience,
00:06:17.900
such that each time it's reinforced, and by the way, this is the next technique, reinforcement.
00:06:25.260
If you just take anything and reinforce the hell out of it, in terms of human behavior,
00:06:30.140
it just burrows into your neural network, and it becomes your programming.
00:06:41.860
What's the difference between a human who is born with a certain genetic situation?
00:06:53.080
And then that DNA interacts with the real world,
00:06:56.300
and that real world experience becomes the programming.
00:07:02.560
And between the real world experience plus the DNA,
00:07:22.720
something from the external world would be added.
00:07:37.360
The differences you can describe in terms of materials,
00:07:44.360
You know, a drinking glass that's made out of actual glass
00:08:05.040
are we learning something about artificial intelligence?
00:08:19.680
We're building an AI that's supposed to be like us,
00:09:08.820
uh-oh, I'm pretty sure that doesn't have a consciousness.
00:10:46.180
as opposed to having desires programmed into it.
00:11:16.560
But I'll bet you a good AI would convince 95% of humans,
00:11:34.760
Yeah, see, now those are the kinds of standards
00:12:06.400
It has longings and desires that are unfulfilled.
00:12:11.080
Do you know what I call somebody who created that?
00:12:28.720
I believe it would be unethical to turn it off, honestly.
00:12:54.960
and I don't think either of us are being crazy.
00:13:07.840
And I'm sure I'm not going to go the other way.
00:14:01.380
and a person has wants and desires and preferences,
00:14:05.100
we'll give it wants and desires and preferences.
00:14:32.100
of whatever we think this living AI is going to have.
00:14:36.980
You could give it all the utility without any pain.
00:14:53.220
But why in the world would you give it a personality?
00:15:31.060
And I say it because I don't have a gender for it.
