InvestmentWhy Are Scammers So Successful Online? by letitrainnow(op): 4:05am On May 01, 2019
They aren’t.

In fact, they are just as successful in person, if not slightly more so.

The media simply finds it “sexier” to promote online scams over their “brick and mortar” cousins IRL. The Internet is still a relatively new phenomenon and , as such, is great when the news days are slow and the press is seeking a boogeyman to bash or something with which to terrify the people in flyover country.

The reality is that if you are going to be scammed out of a great deal of money, you are going to meet the con artists, shake their hand and even have them over to your home for a meal. They may even take you out to eat (on someone else’s dime, of course) and then get you to write them a large check or send them a wire transfer. They’ll look you in the eye and steal your money, rather do so from a cluster of computers in Moldova or Ghana.

Worse than that, your family, friends or acquaintances are ones most likely to scam you. They know your personal information, they have an idea about your wealth and they know which buttons to push to get it. They don’t have to use a computer as they have personal access to you and they can steal vastly greater sums than almost any stranger on the Internet ever could. This isn’t funny, “sexy” or even high tech. It’s disturbing and uncomfortable which is why you don’t read about the media addressing it.

Frankly, it pays to be skeptical about the success of scammers online. While it certainly does happen, it’s still far easier to con people in person than it is over the Internet.

EducationHow To Speak Confidently In Public. by letitrainnow(op): 1:57am On Apr 29, 2019
Emotions can seem like an overwhelming force of nature that can stop us from performing at our best in critical moments.

However, there are many ways for you to overcome fear, anxiety and a crushing lack of confidence, take control of your state and achieve the results you deserve.

In fact, an experiment with milkshakes gives us a glimpse into how this works.

Alia Crum, a psychologist and researcher at the University of Columbia studying the placebo effect, decided to find out just how much our mindset contributes to our feelings. Her way of testing this theory was through food labels. In this milkshake experiment, Alia gave a group of people a ‘Sensishake’ – zero fat, zero sugar and only 140 calories. Their ghrelin (hunger hormone) was tested before and after they drank it, and showed that their hunger levels barely changed.

The following week, the same people were asked to drink another milkshake called ‘Decadence You Deserve’ – 56g of sugar, 30g of fat and 620 calories. Their ghrelin levels dropped significantly, taking their hunger feelings away. The surprise? It was the same drink, with a different label.

Crum’s experiment proves we can control how we feel by changing what we focus on— which can also be applied to the anxiety or nervousness we feel before giving a big presentation. By switching focus from poor-state experiences to peak-state experiences, we can walk into a presentation feeling powerful and confident instead of nervous or unsure.

Here are a few ways to practice:

1) Think back to a time when things went well.

One of the most important things you learn as a public speaker is to control your “Monkey Mind”. This emotional part of your brain wants to keep you safe.

Your “Monkey Mind” will get scared when it notices you’re anxious, and so in order to help you avoid more pain, it’ll focus on memories of other situations where you felt stressed and replay them. It’s doing this instinctually.

So, in order to avoid the anxiety from spiralling out of control, you have to give the monkey something better to watch.

When you have an important event coming up and you start to feel anxious, you can think back to moments when you felt in a peak state—meaning you were feeling at your absolute best.

Ideally, in my experience, it works best if you replay an event that is similar to the one you are about to be in. If I am about to speak to a group of 100 people sitting at round tables, I search my memories for the same kind of situation that went well.

If you don’t have any similar memories to draw from then get as close as you can, and over time you’ll have more positive experiences to leverage against your monkey mind.

2) Think about a time you felt powerful.

There will be times when you’re caught in a totally new experience and you won’t have similar experiences to pull from.

That’s okay—you don’t need them. Instead, you can think about other instances in which you felt your best.

Essentially, you need to give your “Monkey Mind” something reassuring, empowering and inspiring to replay. Add one event on top of another event. Add more events whenever you have a peak state experience so the monkey will have more to watch.

What this does is it brings to the front of your mind all the feelings associated with that accomplishment or empowerment. You’ll be tricking your brain into feeling calmer, more confident, maybe even a little euphoric. And then as you step into your big meeting or presentation, you’ll be taking those feelings with you.

3) Think about your core values.

Psychologists David Cresswell and David Sherman ran a series of experiments to see if they could help people get the “Monkey Mind” under control in situations of high stress.

In the first study, known as the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST), they asked two groups of people to give a speech in front of a panel of judges, who had been instructed to give no positive reactions. The first group was told to write a full page about a deep personal value, such as being a good father, honesty, trying your hardest, or any other value that meant something important to them. The other group was told to write about something that they didn’t care about.

Both groups were then asked to give a speech about what they’d written. Once that was over, both groups were given a tough maths challenge while the panel continually said, ‘Go faster!’

The group who had written something that meant nothing to them had a spike in their stress levels. However, the group who wrote about a meaningful value showed no change. Their cortisol levels were the same before and after the event.

Essentially, the experiment demonstrates that by focusing on your core values, you can stay in a peak state when you need to, centered in the best version of yourself.

By focusing on your best self, you’ll move through the world with renewed confidence and a better understanding of how to conquer obstacles in your path. Your speaking will blossom and you’ll feel more in control of your emotions.

Thanks for reading.

FashionWhy Women Want To Look Beautiful! by letitrainnow(op): 4:54pm On Apr 27, 2019
Women are very competitive with each other for guys. They are very selective in who they mate with so that leads to there being fewer desirable men than women interested in those men.

This is why they are so obsessed with beauty. It isn’t necessarily used to get male attention; it is used to compete with other females. Girls don’t dress up for guys; they dress up for other girls.

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9e/9f/a0/9e9fa091676ca6980b3a0f9c2db5804f.jpg

You don’t see most women doing the above for men. They do it to make themselves more attractive than other women.

Women are the reason for unreal beauty standards. Not men. Men don’t tell women how to dress or look. Women are the ones who are pushing standards on each other. Men aren’t that selective in who they mate with. Women are the ones who make themselves seem more fertile than other women (in competition for the most desirable men, which is why rich or famous men usually get women who are very beautiful).

It’s really just evolutionary. Women have the best chance of survival when they mate with men who can provide them with the most resources. Most men who do this are rich or handsome (because handsome guys are more likely to be tall and muscular which evolutionary means they are better providers). The majority of men are average and are not exceptionally rich or handsome. This leads to the majority of average women having to compete to get the top percentage of men.

Women are the ones who criticize each other for their looks. Men usually don’t comment about women’s looks unless they are stupid or controlling. Women gossip about each other all the time. There is a reason that attractive girls are the target of harassment by other, more average, females.

Women are the ones to criticize the other’s fashion choice. They are the ones to criticize another’s makeup. They are the ones coming up with new techniques to make them more attractive.

In fact, women are the most harsh on each other when it comes to bodies.

Women are more rude about criticizing each other’s breast size than men are. I am a 28H (big boobs) and regularly get negative comments about my breasts from women. Never have I gotten negative comments from men. In general, they keep their mouths shut about my body (unless they are praising it).

Women are the ones who made the thigh gap a thing. They are the ones who make skinniness a thing too and are now trying to make fat beautiful. They are the ones who obsess over ass shape and size. They are the ones who tattle on each other in middle and high school for dress code violations.

Women are the ones who are negatively affected by constant exposure to instagram models, fashion models, or magazine covers. They see women who are more attractive than themselves and they know they can never be that externally fitting to those ideal women. They only feel disappointed because there is competition there. If there was no competition between women, there would be no loss for a woman being more attractive than another one.

Women take basic evolutionary preferences of men and alter them on themselves to become more attractive. It is not the men who make women do this. It is women who do this to each other. Men are just going to mate with the ones they find attractive, which is actually a lot of women since men aren’t as choosy as women are. The only ones that will be choosy are the rich and handsome men, which are who the women are competing for. Women blame unrealistic beauty standards on men but it is actually themselves who are creating them.

EDIT:

The above observation is about women who look at relationships out of a fear and survival need rather than out of an unconditional love and companionship perspective. There are women and men who approach relationships out of a perspective of abundance and unconditional love.

It is looking though relationships and mating through a survival and fear based perspective as that is how most people do see the world (through what spiritualists call “ego”).

Unfortunately, our popular media and society only focus on fear-based and survival-based perspectives. That is what the majority of humanity is stuck in and what we are aiming to rise out of.

Men in survival-based thinking operate a different way than women. Their primary evolutionary focus is to sleep with as many women as possible to ensure many children. This is why they are less choosy in who they mate with. This is also why our current society has such an issue with men cheating on their partners and knocking up multiple women and leaving them.
