My father always said it's not true that you get what you pay for, but it's always true that you pay for what you get! Deadlines are funny because so many people _always_ wait until the last minute. When teaching I let students turn in their work until midnight on the day of the deadline. Many wanted an extra hour. I pointed out that if I gave them an extra 3 hours, that their procrastination would have them always working until 3 AM, and that they'll be happier with a midnight deadline. They couldn't argue with that.

just gonna say this from the perspective of someone who's been "the new guy" way more times than the average salary worker: there is absolutely no way you're going to get away with doing this differently as "the new guy" in most jobs. you have to do it the previous person's way until you've established you know better. as you're doing it "the right way", throw in your own little twists here and there and keep at it gradually until you're doing it entirely different. the beginning will be rough. they're basically telling you to conform to someone you don't even know

Lesson #5 reminds me of a couple of episodes of Penn and Teller's show where they were in a high-end restaurant and had a salesman do an amazing job at selling food in one episode and boutique water in the other. The food episode was some cheap junk prepared in a toaster oven and presented well and the water was all just from a hose out back. The power of perception led people to believe they were getting something much better than what they were--those episodes really helped change how I look at things, they're on KZbin if you're interested.

At one of my early jobs I was replacing 3 programmers who had left the company. My boss couldn't believe I was so slow at learning the java project and completing tasks, and noted that it took the other guys hours to do what took me days. I wish I'd had the spine to turn to him and remind him that they LEFT and I'm HERE, and you're expecting a junior programmer to fill the boots of three senior programmers. At my current job the scenario is a bit different: we've replaced several programmers who'd done a less than stellar job. We made sure to congratulate the new hires on jobs well done, and for speaking up about better ways to do things. They need to hear it, and to be welcomed by focusing on what they're doing well.

For the Organ Donation part there'd be something else at play there too, moral pressure. Organ donation is seen as a moral thing to do so framing the question so that checking the box is declining it would mean that if they check the box it could feel like a stance against donating organs, a position which could be seen as selfish. The German form however, in having you need to opt in, removes that contention since you can just choose to not answer and avoid the moral conundrum entirely. This makes the German form fairer, since no moral pressure means no manipulation.

Comparing yourself to people around you: I don't just look at how much they make, i look at how long and hard i would have to work to get there and how hard and long i would have to work to get what they get. Time has a value too! I also look at enjoyment. I pick jobs that are enjoyable, motivating and that presents interesting new challenges. If the job bores me, annoys me or doesn't make me feel like i am getting somewhere then i swap jobs. If a job is enjoyable i can live with less pay and a longer commute. If the job pays well i can endure less joy for a time, but not forever. If the commute is short i can accept less pay as long as the job isn't on the bad side of enjoyment. Time is important, and so is your happiness. I don't give a hoot about what others are making doing their jobs.

Uhm, I don't compare myself to others anymore. Stopped doing that as an adolescent as it is a pointless task.

Anyway, manipulation by marketers/advertisers/corporations is rampant as businesses seek to push to maximize profits despite our intentions or needs.

As a father who has experienced the challenges and biases within the family court system firsthand, I am wholeheartedly in support of the Good Dad Act. This legislation is not just about fathers' rights; it is about creating a more equitable society that recognizes and values the essential role that fathers play in their children's lives. The Good Dad Act addresses the systemic flaws and biases that have perpetuated the marginalization of fathers within the family court system for far too long. It promotes shared parental responsibility, ensuring that children have the opportunity to maintain strong relationships with both parents. Every child deserves the love, guidance, and involvement of both their mother and father. The Good Dad Act will help level the playing field, empowering fathers to actively participate in their children's upbringing and decision-making. By supporting the Good Dad Act, we are advocating for a legal framework that is fair, just, and reflective of the realities of modern parenting. We are challenging stereotypes and working towards a future where children have equal access to the love and support of both parents, regardless of their gender. I urge everyone to join this movement and raise awareness about the importance of fathers' rights. Together, we can push for the passage of the Good Dad Act at both the state and federal levels, ensuring that fathers are granted the legal protections they deserve and that children can benefit from the active involvement of both parents. Let's create a society where every child can grow up with the love, care, and guidance of their devoted fathers. Together, we can make a difference. #SupportGoodDads #EqualParentingRights#gooddadact docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQvSKX1gNVTRkHbMyelT20n4rgnLeKelG03Ecq7PT2lRSnjE0C1lociMO67vqkoJfiKlHHi-LCv7glT/pub

Damn, I must be a hard ass. It's nearly impossible to manipulate me. And yes I DO know the value of something I have or want. It's called don't some investigating and educating yourself on products. If I can't find a product that fits my financial status, and I can't negotiate it down to where I can afford it, then I don't really need it. I've apologized for taking up their time, but I'm not going to put myself in financial difficulties for that. And I walk. A couple times I was asked how much would be comfortable, and I tell them. I also add, "I don't mean (whatever amount) either. I mean that much including tax and interest. So, if you can't meet that then I'll wait. I won't live beyond my means." I probably had saved twice what I was willing to pay, but that is part of the "what is the product worth" thingy, right? More than a few times I got exactly what I wanted, for exactly the price I had researched it was worth, what it was worth to me, and what it could be negotiated down to based on what I had saved to the penny. Or was willing to pay. I don't like manipulation. I do not do that to people. I don't play mind games with anyone. Who has time to waste for that shit? If honesty isn't what you want from people then I'm definitely NOT the person you want to deal with at all. I've never even said, "the check is in the mail" or cheated on a test at school. I've never taken company property home with me either. I did almost take a box of sign tabs I had put in my best pocket, but I turned my car around and went back to work and have them to my manager and just said, "oops". Don't even ask me if I like a new outfit you're wearing. If I don't like it I'll say no, but it's not my opinion that matters, it's how they like it that is. It's easy to be honest. It's not hard to be honest. Done people won't like you because they don't hear from you what they want to hear, but who cares? If someone wants you to lie to them they aren't a good person. I don't worry about not hurting people's feelings to make them feel better about themselves. They don't need that from me. People deserve honesty and trust. Give them both.

One thing to be careful of with this is that people with different developmental/personality disorders will change the results wildly. A person with autism, for example, is unlikely to be strongly affected by social norms or the decadence of the environment, but more likely to be honest right from the get go. A person with narcissistic personality disorder, however, may be much more impressed by the environment, but will only superficially follow social norms and will find it easy to be dishonest, regardless of any social pressure or manipulation. Likewise, these weaknesses show up when the shoe is on the other foot. The autistic person is likely to forget about social and environmental influences, then wonder why their product isn't selling well or people aren't doing what they requested; while the narcissistic person is likely to be able to influence people, but be unable to self-correct when people start calling them out about excessive manipulation.

1. As one who fixed them for what we called a living, unless it's a temporary promo with all the regular stuff included, you do NOT want something "free". You want the good oil and the good filter and the thorough service. And that inherently is not free. 2. Yes, any shop worth its salt knows this is a sales opportunity. And the car owner should WANT them to make that effort. As long as they're straight with you about expectations, yours and theirs (you're planning to trade the car soon, so some items don't make sense, or you drive them forever, so you need no outstanfing issues, those kinds of things), you're way ahead to be updated on what a skilled pair of eyes finds when the car is on the lift.

I chose the cheapest option both times, as I always do, exactly because I know that they do this. The cheapest option is almost always the highest value for money option.

[@jotcarey]

Many manufacturers (toasters, bicycles, etc.) design their cheapest product for the people who shop by price alone, with no thought given to durability, ease of use, etc. The one or two products above the bottom-feeder item are very often much better for a modest increase in price, because that's where the competition is about best quality for the money.

[@LiftPizzas]

Buy the cheapest one first. If it breaks and you used it a lot or really needed it, buy a good one for more. If it breaks and you didn't need it, you paid the lowest possible price to find out. Doing this across all of your buying pays off in aggregate and you end up with the best of the things that are of actual importance to you. One caveat is as jotcarey said, often a slight step above the absolute cheapest is a huge improvement in value/quality so this can also be a viable strategy for the initial buy.

Many of the thing mentioned in this video I actually don't think that way, and I am not sure if I ever have been the social norm in the way of that type of thinking being manipulated maybe when I was a child, but I tend to think things through read in between the lines , many people just react I never understood this. I am not saying I have never been manipulated because I have, and t I also realized it almost immediately. if something feels even slightly off like to good to be true or anything at all I ask questions . the thing I have understood about youtube channels is that it takes much of your personal time if you into it then it's all good but if you like top do other things in your life and say have another type of income then doing a channel probably will burn you out over the months years every person I have met on liner that has a youtube channel gets burnt out even with helpers and I have always told them do whats best for you and to not feel pressured to do what you think everyone wants because then you are becoming more like them than yourself which isnt natural and also ofI went off-topic

I started this at 20 and retired on my investments at 46. THE MILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR, The E-Myth, CASHFLOW QUADRANT and DIE BROKE are also terrific personal economics books.

​@@backcountyrpilot Even though that wasn't directed at me, Thank You. A long time ago, an older person I respected highly told me to do that, and it made sense. During times when I could save more, I did. I highly recommend The Four Agreements by Paul Coelho.

[@auberjean6873]

​@@backcountyrpilot P.S.: I've read Die Broke, and The Automatic Millionaire among others. My problem was I took 16 years off work to take care of my parents. I'm an only child and they were the best parents in the world who "Died Broke" the wrong way. I injured my back lifting my dad repeatedly. I found out one can't get disability if one doesn't work for ten years. If you have a book that can help me, please recommend it. Thank you in advance, Jean.

Every "successful" person I know has a horrendously injured skeleton. The norm is to trade health for money. This includes neglecting stretching and skeletal health.

Doesnt GDPR prevent companies from having you opted in automatically? Check the box to be excluded does t fly anymore does it?

[@ievgeniipolozov3818]

wonderful videos! but could you please make them without this stupid music?

[@diamondyoshi6649]

15:30 That should be obvious. A majority of companies openly and blatantly cheat, normal people cheat, and even good people cheat because: It benefits the cheater It benefits others It is necessary It doesn't hurt anyone or there is no reason.

[@yehoshuaberman]

I think you should look into the controversies surrounding the author you are quoting

[@luisrivas2356]

Great videos. Thanks for the effort you put into these videos. I’m impressed. Very practical. Thanks for the practical examples after the science/info.

I usually pick certian foods a restaurants I go to depending on the time of year and what the weather is doing. I'm more likely to pick denser, richer foods like ribs and chilis in the winter, and lighter, juicier foods like pastas and salads in the summer. If I eat at a place enough, I also tend to change up what I eat because I'm curious about different things. Now that I'm older my tolerances have changed so I also tend to think about how salty or sweet something is going to be to me. I picked the first subscription option because I don't need a physical one cluttering up my space, and I'm cheap. XD Tricking people into an organ donor program is actually really shitty. It completely ignores how the person, or even their family might feel about such things. I hope they did not honestly, actually sign all of those people up as legally having concented to that kind of decision. Heck, at 14cents, I'd still buy the truffles! Those little suckers are usually between 50cents and a dollar a piece or more depending on their quality. But then again, I've come to appriciate quality chocolate over cheap stuff like a Hershey's bar. Sure, I'd take the free Hershey's bar if it was the only thing offered, but I'd take the cheap truffles over that. I tend to be skeptical when companies start giving away free things. There is usually some kind of catch attached to it unless it is say, a sample that is readily available with no sign up or purchase needed. I guess somewhere along the lines I became more sauvy about these kinds of things and I tend to weigh what I'm purchasing more heavily than most people do. I also compare cost vs weight when I'm at the grocery store. Sometimes something sounds more expensive, but when you consider you could buy two of the smaller item and get less in the total amount for the same cost, suddenly the slightly larger package doesn't seem as expensive. Granted, I do also have to consider the product itself. Sometimes if it is parishable, I simply won't use up the larger package in time to make it ultimately cost effective. Eh, I don't know... I've had steak from a fancy plate and found myself wishing I could take that same steak to my old coworkers at Chipotle and have them cook it instead because the fancy place didn't make it right. Granted, that is not always true. There is a resturant here where I live that is only middle of the road fancy, serves your food on a plain white plate after you watch the server cook it, and it's one of the best steaks I've ever had. Yes, it was pricer, but that was due to the steak cut itself. It was so tender it practically melted and the meat was enhanced by the little bit of salt, pepper and butter rather than covered up like too many places do with sauces. Fancy doesn't always mean good.

[@FarmerKen355]

Nice animations.... really enjoyed two of the vids you have made... when I get a chance gonna go look up the other ones. Really nice work. I spent a lot of my life in sales and got a giggle out of a few of your comments, nail on the head sweety, you are good. Today I am too old but I try to pass this kind of stuff along to my kids. Again, really nice work.

[@frankgriffin6293]

For the chocolate people do not want the hassle of pulling out money or a credit card and paying or waiting in line. If the chocolate is free and no transaction happens there will not be much of a line since you just grab it and walk away. Another side item left out if you ignore the percentages is that you would have far more customers grabbing chocolate as a whole since it is free now. Maybe 10 people would pay 1 cent and go through the trouble of purchasing it but if free maybe 100 people would now want chocolate that costs nothing.

Convenience and laziness have been and are being weaponized.

[@jfan4reva]

The 25/5 really jumped out at me. That's the system that's recommended for practicing a musical instrument. Practice for 25 minutes, then do something 'fun' for 5 minutes, then back to 25 minutes (doing something 'fun' for only 5 minutes can be hard, especially when you've been wrapped up in something complex).

[@martinkuliza]

i have a similar system focus for 30mins working with no distractions Rest for 10mins without thinking about work and doing something fun and reward yourself Now...10min break means..... 10mins to get off the seat, have a coffee or whatever or go to the toilet and be back in the seat on the dot or before it wasn't 11mins it wasn't 15mins IT WAS STRICTLY 10MINS it absolutely works I've been self employed now for a long time when i was an employee, i remember doing this for the first time (Which i basically do now everyday) We were filling gaps in a database we had a database which had at least Name and Number and then gaps all over the place like surname, address, email etc etc Our job was not to sell (that would be the next teams job) our job was to ensure a complete database and to CONFIRM DETAILS we needed to call everyone to confirm this You're average employee would make around 30-50 calls a day and up to 50 data entry's a day They had 1 , 1 hour lunch break a day I did this and i was making around 350 - 400 calls a day and database entries, Now, in a 10 hour day i collectively had 2.5Hours Break and i didn't take my 1 hour normal lunch break I collectively worked 7.5 Hours the other employee's used to get the shits why i would take a break so often and it was almost like having 3 of their breaks the boss would say .....If you can get to 100 calls a day i'll let you take another hour break and if you can get to 200 a day i'll let you have another hour on top of that THEY TRIED........ THEY COULDN'T the system is interesting, but it primarily puts focus on Humans cannot stay concentrated effectively for extended time. so.. if i was to work solid for 7.5 hours i would also end up making 50 odd calls. you need to respect what your body can and can not do and optimize it at first my boss didn't go for it but i was lucky because i was doing this for a week before he noticed. then he looked at my screen to see how much work i got done and was amazed to see i was killing it IN MY MIND ..... I didn't think i was outperforming everyone by that much, i thought it was like 30 or 40 calls more but it wasn't and FROM THAT ALONE a project that was projected to take 6 months took 5 weeks AT THE END OF IT ALL THEY DID A SURVEY it was found THAT I PERSONALLY CLOSED OFF AND COMPLETED 83% OF THE ENTIRE DATABASE vs 4 other team members collectively so... Them 4, their collective efforts accounted for 17% of the completion of the database the results were nuts DID I GET A PAY RISE ? of course not, don't be stupid, it's not like i deserved it or anything LOL I'll be honest, this was a time when i learned a lot more than time efficiency. I learned, even if you work your arse off to this level YOU STILL WON'T GET A PAY RISE OR BONUS working your own business however...... that's different

That's why opt-out options are so bad in operating systems (but not only of course)... and we all try to evangelise it, but Microsoft and Apple and Google provide opt-out new features all the time, that spy and sell your data. "It's just the way it is" I guess.

[@JohnnyADi]

This doesn't apply to me, because my adhd says fuck the way normal people think, there's a reason I can never agree with people on some things, this is an example of why. Their way of thinking is like the majority, and I fucking hate to see everyone around me buying the same things, liking the same things, and doing the same things.

Limiting time for procrastinators works every time. For example, if I set the due time at 5pm, some of my coworkers ask for extension until the next day. If I say due by COB (close of business), all of them will submit before I start work the next day. For most people COB ends at midnight and it makes a big difference for them. As for me, I don’t care if the submit it at 5pm or at 7 am the next day. I have no plans to read their submission until the next morning anyway:)! In the end, everyone is happy!

[@NIP345]

Thanks for the video. I'm pretty resistant to in-store price manipulation thanks to my smartphone. I'm willing to look up prices of things if I don't know the market value. I'm also resistant to price manipulation deceiving me as to quality. There are plenty of expensive restaurants I've been in once and will never go to again because quite honestly, the food wasn't a good value compared to other options that cost less. I'll have to try the pomodoro work method. I'm not particularly bad at procrastinating but if I force a 25 minute focus before allowing distractions or switching tasks, I'll probably get more done--I don't have illusions that I'm good at multitasking.

[@weppwebb2885]

One part is basically saying people with less income are worth less and you should surround yourself with more successful people so you feel like you are not doing enough. Well that's an interesting aproch ...

Cashless society... Cash is king. If you haven't been in a situation where you have no cash and you can't pay up with your card, sorry, you still have lots to learn.

[@wastelanderone]

Why do I order that dish at the restaurant instead of that one? Because it's spaghetti carbonara, and I will always choose carbonara if it's available.

[@Icureditwithmybrain]

If going cashless will lead to more cheating we should all start using cash.

[@BadyTheProgram]

Well, I can't get manipulated by anybody at those situations at the begining: I don't have money for phone, neither for a meal in a resturant. And jokes on you, I don't have a house to sell as well. Checkmate manipulative people!

If you don't benefit directly someone else is and there is usually a kickback to those gathering participants. If you where offered a discount on an organ transplant if and when you might need one for the donation of an organ or organs after your death then you might get more participation. And since the medical industry charges organ recipients $$ for the organ. The donar should be offered $$ for signing to donate. Pay it forward medical industry. It's the right thing to do. 😉
