TV show Brain Games
« on: June 17, 2013, 04:09:45 PM »
Came across a link to a discussion about a new TV show called Brain Games.  The video at the link gives a few examples of what the show is about.

Basically it deals with how the human brain perceives things and how it can be "tricked".  

I've made this type of stuff a vocation and I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Megan Kelly is in the video at this link, so that alone makes the video worth watching.

The show is on series record on my DVR.  My wife hates watching it with me because I rarely fall for their tricks.

Bravery and stupidity are often synonymous.  So are cowardice and intelligence.

"We Americans have been a rebellious band of freedom loving vagabonds from the very beginning. Our freedom from the crown and tyranny would not exist had it not been for the gun. That's a tradition we like to hold on to.  The same can't be said for the rest of you 'Subjects of the Queen'."--said to a Canadian friend who just doesn't get it.

The ones  you do fall for might be the most valuable.

You learn what to watch for when it might be tried outside of the show.

Absolutely.  The most valuable ones to me is learning to see the types of distraction/diversionary tactics Apollo Robins uses.
