00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:23,280
Music

2
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:23,780
Hello.

3
00:00:23,780 --> 00:00:24,280
Hello.

4
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:29,160
Welcome back to another episode of Dying Missing a Killer, The Mental Breakdown.

5
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:30,000
I'm Ka'well.

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:30,960
And I'm Kena.

7
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:31,800
Welcome back.

8
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:32,800
Welcome back.

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,600
Some of you may have noticed that we did not release anything this past week.

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:42,440
Uh, that's mostly to do with the fact that we have the con coming up this weekend.

11
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,280
And all I can think about.

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:51,880
Very excited and in preparation for that we've been getting in goodies that you can get at our booth

13
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,520
when you guys come to see us and we're really excited.

14
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,480
We are so excited.

15
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,760
We've been gearing up for that and like Ka'well just said we didn't record last week at all

16
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,960
but we're going to be doing a countdown to the festival for this week.

17
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,640
So when you hear this it'll be Monday.

18
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,040
We're going to release our case on Tuesday and then we're going to release another bonus

19
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,200
mental breakdown on Wednesday because we're going on Thursday for the festival.

20
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,800
So don't expect a case on Thursday but you will get it two days early which is awesome.

21
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:22,080
You can also check us out on our TikTok which I'm looking to revive this again.

22
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:27,280
So if you want to follow along with us check the TikTok which is at Dying Missing a Killer

23
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,840
and maybe you'll be able to follow along with us.

24
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,640
We'll share some videos, some pictures, all that good stuff.

25
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,200
Absolutely and we do have at Dying Missing a Killer as our handle on every platform

26
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,520
with the exception of X which is at Killer Diagnosis which is a little weird to say.

27
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,760
And then lastly I know it's your mental breakdown.

28
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,320
Did you just want to really quickly touch on our new logo?

29
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:53,040
Yeah so we did get a new logo done and that was provided by Ruben from Copperhead Screen Printing.

30
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,320
He is a local dude here in San Antonio, check his website out.

31
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,680
He does all different kinds of things so yeah.

32
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:01,680
Thank you Ruben.

33
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:02,680
It looks so good.

34
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:03,680
Thank you so much.

35
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:04,680
It looks amazing.

36
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:10,400
I love the pop of color and we got that printed on flags and we got the flag like way too

37
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,400
big but it looks really good.

38
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,440
It's like a banner almost and we got this literally today, like an hour before we start

39
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,080
recording this and they go out of the con with us.

40
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:23,000
Yes and they're gigantic and so they're completely blown up but the quality is so good.

41
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,040
It's not pixelated or anything.

42
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,560
He did a really really great job on that.

43
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,680
We were able to get pins for the con, stickers for the con.

44
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,240
Every single platform that we have has been changed to that logo.

45
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,720
Yes Ruben, you rock.

46
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,640
And if you have a sweet tooth or you like mints or you are human and drink water, come

47
00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:42,160
to our booth because we will have all of those things.

48
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,160
Good.

49
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,680
Okay I'm ready to hear it.

50
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,840
Today we are going to be talking about eight different psychological phenomena.

51
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:50,840
Ooh.

52
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:51,840
Phenomenon.

53
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:52,840
Phenomenon.

54
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,080
We looked it up.

55
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,880
It's phenomena or phenomenon.

56
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,760
I might switch in between.

57
00:02:58,760 --> 00:02:59,760
Phenomenons.

58
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:00,760
Phenomenons.

59
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:01,760
Multiple phenomena.

60
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,760
Gosh.

61
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:03,760
Phenomenons.

62
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:04,760
We're never going to know.

63
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:05,760
It's fine.

64
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,240
So again, eight but we're going to start with number one.

65
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,240
Number one.

66
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:10,240
Reverse psychology.

67
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,240
Ooh.

68
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,240
Right?

69
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,000
I use this all the time.

70
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:22,640
So reverse psychology also referred to as psychological reactance or strategic self-anticonformity.

71
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:27,400
Is when an individual attempts to restore a perceived loss of freedom or choice.

72
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,240
When someone's like, what are you trying to do to me?

73
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,040
I'm just practicing, what is it, anti-self-conceived authority?

74
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,120
Yeah, it's strategic self-anticonformity.

75
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,920
That's exactly what I just said.

76
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:45,320
So this type of psychological theory typically works on those who are resistant by nature,

77
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,560
so opposite of those who are typically compliant.

78
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,560
Yeah.

79
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,440
Because they want to be rebellious, right?

80
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:55,120
We usually hear about reverse psychology as a negative, but it can also be used in psychology

81
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,320
and therapy as a very helpful tool.

82
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,720
Yeah, absolutely.

83
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:04,800
The technique of the paradoxical intervention has also been called the anti-subgestion.

84
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:11,080
So some therapists can frame their message that a resistance promotes change.

85
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:16,520
Interventions like these can have a similar impact as humor and helping clients cast their

86
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,600
problems in a new light.

87
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,960
So it's like by a different perspective, essentially.

88
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,720
So by going with and not against the client's resistance, the therapist can actually make

89
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,640
the behavior less attractive to the individual, which is interesting.

90
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:36,720
Well, like we say, it's really hard to see something when you're so close to it.

91
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,800
And then if you bring yourself away from it, or once you are removed from the situation,

92
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:41,960
you can really see it more clearly.

93
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,960
I think it's kind of like the similar.

94
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,080
Yeah, it's reframing, essentially.

95
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,080
This means that pretending to agree with clients' thoughts and beliefs and reaffirming them

96
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:56,960
out loud to make them realize their fallibility would also be a helpful tool.

97
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,960
We also regularly see examples of it in marketing as well, like continuing to dangle a product

98
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:07,200
in front of our face or make the item more exclusive because we want what we can't have.

99
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:12,520
It's like I just wrote bugs bunny because it reminds me of the like where it's like,

100
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:17,040
yes, no, yes, no, no, yes, no, yes.

101
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:24,360
So yeah, again, these are just going to be little tiny tidbits of each one of these psychological

102
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,360
phenomenons.

103
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:31,600
The next one is going to be the overview effect, which I found very interesting.

104
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,280
The overview effect is a term given to those who have experienced seeing Earth from a great

105
00:05:36,280 --> 00:05:38,560
distance in space.

106
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,640
Okay, like people that have actually been to space?

107
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,640
Yes, like actual astronauts.

108
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,600
Not everybody is going to experience this, right?

109
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,680
Just like seeing a photo.

110
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,480
This phenomenon only few have ever experienced and it completely changes your perspective

111
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,960
on the vastness of the universe.

112
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,920
I would freak the fuck out.

113
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,360
Especially how small or insignificant the human race is.

114
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,360
Yeah, pale blue dot.

115
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,360
Just a little, yeah.

116
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,360
We were pale blue dot.

117
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:09,280
You know nothing, John Snow.

118
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:11,480
No one country borders another.

119
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,440
There's no religion, race, or personal identity separating us from each other.

120
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:17,760
Just to know that it's...

121
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,160
Isn't that such an intense thought?

122
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,040
That makes me nervous.

123
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:27,160
Eugene Cernan was an astronaut who first orbited the Earth in 1966 on Gemini 9.

124
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:32,440
He then went on to orbit the moon on Apollo 10 in 1969 and then eventually landed on the

125
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,720
moon in 1972 with Apollo 17.

126
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,800
Apollo 17 has since been the last moon landing.

127
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:39,800
Hmm.

128
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:40,800
1972.

129
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:41,880
Yeah, the last time we landed on the moon.

130
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,760
They try to say that we don't have the technology to make it possible to go to the moon anymore

131
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:46,760
and it's like...

132
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:47,760
What?

133
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,760
We didn't even have fucking phones.

134
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,840
Isn't Space Daddy Elon Musk trying to go to Mars or some shit?

135
00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:54,000
Yeah, I don't know.

136
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,000
That's further away.

137
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,000
What does that make?

138
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,000
So what the fuck?

139
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Yeah.

140
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Can't even get X right.

141
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Yeah.

142
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,400
Eugene said about his experience while commanding Apollo 17, quote, you have to literally just

143
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,640
pinch yourself and ask yourself the question silently.

144
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:14,080
Do you know where you're at at this point in time and space and in reality and in existence?

145
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,840
When you can look out the window and you're looking at the most beautiful star in the

146
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,400
heavens, the most beautiful because it's the one we understand and we know.

147
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:22,400
It's home.

148
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,240
It's people, family, love, life.

149
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,600
And besides that, it is beautiful.

150
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,320
You can see from pole to pole and across oceans and continents.

151
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,680
You can watch it turn and there's no strings holding it up and it's moving in a blackness

152
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,400
that's almost beyond comprehension and color.

153
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,560
God, that's so insane to think about.

154
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:42,560
Right?

155
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,840
And then I'm over here having anxiety because I didn't get enough sleep.

156
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:48,840
Yeah.

157
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,840
I'm mad at my, that's my biggest problem.

158
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:51,840
That's my biggest problem.

159
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:52,840
Yeah.

160
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,080
I just got to get gas in my car.

161
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,080
Yeah.

162
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,080
Seriously.

163
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,240
So I can drive on the fucking earth.

164
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,240
On the earth.

165
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,880
On the roads that we've paved onto the fucking earth.

166
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,680
Which takes no time.

167
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:09,360
You're stuck in traffic for 20 minutes but you're like, it takes days to go to the moon.

168
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,360
Yeah.

169
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,360
You know what I mean?

170
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:12,360
Yeah, for real.

171
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,360
Yeah.

172
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:19,160
In October of 2021, actor William Shatner took a suborbital capsule into space with

173
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,960
Blue Origin, which is the Jeff Bezos company.

174
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,440
William later said that he regretted the experience, stating, quote, it was among the

175
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,800
strongest feelings of grief I've ever encountered.

176
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:35,520
The contrast between the vicious coldness of space and the warm nurturing of earth below

177
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,720
filled me with overwhelming sadness.

178
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,400
Oh my gosh.

179
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,080
Every day we are confronted with the knowledge of further destruction of earth at our own

180
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,080
hands.

181
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,840
The extinction of animal species of flora and fauna.

182
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,040
Things that took five billion years to evolve and suddenly we will never see them again

183
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,440
because of the interference of mankind.

184
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:56,800
It filled me with dread.

185
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:57,800
End quote.

186
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:58,800
That's heavy.

187
00:08:58,800 --> 00:08:59,800
It's fucking heavy.

188
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:00,800
Yeah.

189
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,400
I bet it feels you with like, like your body is probably so fucking scared at the same

190
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:06,400
time.

191
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:07,400
Yeah.

192
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,760
I am insignificant.

193
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,760
Like I can barely be on a fucking airplane and you're going to launch me in a space.

194
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:14,760
I couldn't do it.

195
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:15,760
Oh my gosh.

196
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:16,760
There's no way.

197
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:17,760
Oh, that's too much.

198
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:18,760
That's way too much.

199
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,760
My brain would break and that's why it's dubbed the overview effect.

200
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:23,760
Your brain breaks.

201
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:28,760
An experience is something that is probably not meant to be experienced by humans.

202
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:29,760
Yeah, no, for sure.

203
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:30,760
Absolutely.

204
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:31,760
Your brain can't comprehend that.

205
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,760
If anyone that's listening has ever been to space, please, please write us a response.

206
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,080
We'd like to know.

207
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,080
So that's overview effect.

208
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,080
Wow.

209
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,080
I've never heard of that.

210
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,080
That makes so much sense though.

211
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,080
Yeah.

212
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,320
It's just that's something that you don't really think about because I mean, we're not fucking

213
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,320
astronauts.

214
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:46,320
Yeah.

215
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,320
Right?

216
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:48,320
It's insane.

217
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,120
So number three is cognitive dissonance.

218
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,120
Which is true.

219
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,120
Yeah.

220
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,080
If you've taken a psychology course, typically you might have heard of this one.

221
00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:00,440
But for our listeners, cognitive dissonance is when two contradictory ideas or choices

222
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:06,520
present themselves, but one still chosen with the understanding that a negative or positive

223
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:11,400
ramification of that choice is still a possibility and will need to be accepted.

224
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:12,800
And that is a very long sentence.

225
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:13,800
Yeah.

226
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:14,800
Break it down.

227
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,160
But for example, you might have to make a career decision that requires you to move

228
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,400
to a beautiful countryside.

229
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,280
You could take the job and miss your friends and family, but enjoy the remoteness of this

230
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,200
new area that is yet to be explored.

231
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,640
Or you don't take the job to be with friends and family, but you still yearn for the experience

232
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,720
of having a peaceful environment.

233
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,840
Both of these choices end in cognitive dissonance, and both choices have their good points and

234
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:39,840
bad points.

235
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:40,840
Yeah.

236
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,800
The point of it is, is that making either decision takes away the possibility that you

237
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,840
can enjoy the advantages of one choice that you didn't make, yet ensures that you must

238
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,960
accept the disadvantages of the choice that you did make.

239
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,360
Cognitive dissonance aims to lower the amount of dissonance we feel when experiencing choices

240
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:58,880
such as these.

241
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,600
Another example might be smoking.

242
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,480
We all know that it's bad for our health to smoke, but in order to reduce the dissonance

243
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:09,440
one might tell themselves that life is too short to worry about ramifications of smoking.

244
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,080
So we also see this in examples of spending too much money, diet and exercising, or just

245
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,120
about anything we can experience at any given time.

246
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,400
No, yeah, it's essentially like, I'm gonna take the bad with the good, and the bad's

247
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:20,400
like not that bad.

248
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,400
Yeah.

249
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:22,400
It'll be fine.

250
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:23,400
Well, because it's so far removed in the future.

251
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:24,400
Yeah, exactly.

252
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,280
But almost, you know, it's like who's to tell what's, you know what I mean?

253
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,280
What's really gonna happen, yeah.

254
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,280
Exactly.

255
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,680
So that's cognitive dissonance.

256
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:32,680
Tell me you have, whoa.

257
00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:37,600
Tell me you have, where are you?

258
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,320
And I'm so sorry.

259
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,680
Do you have a confirmation bias on here or not?

260
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:44,680
Oh, maybe.

261
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:45,680
It's not really a fun knowledge.

262
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:46,680
It's not really a fun knowledge.

263
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:47,680
It's just kind of like a thing.

264
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:48,680
No, I don't know.

265
00:11:48,680 --> 00:11:49,680
I don't think.

266
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:52,760
Well, the thing is about, and what's great about this list is that there, these are

267
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,280
just eight, and there's like a billion.

268
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,280
Yeah.

269
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,680
So I just picked eight ones that I thought were really interesting.

270
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:00,480
Yeah, for sure.

271
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:01,480
Number four.

272
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:02,480
Number four.

273
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:03,480
Number five.

274
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:04,480
Bader-Minhoff syndrome.

275
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:05,480
All right.

276
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:06,480
It's not a syndrome.

277
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:11,760
That was like the longest laugh in the world.

278
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,280
We had to pause again.

279
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:14,280
Phenomenon.

280
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:15,280
Not a syndrome.

281
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:16,780
I was gonna say what.

282
00:12:16,780 --> 00:12:18,680
So the bit, I think it's better.

283
00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:19,680
It might be better.

284
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:20,680
I think it's better.

285
00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:26,160
Bader-Minhoff group or gang was a leftist radical group founded in the later 1960s and

286
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,120
early 1970s.

287
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,160
The group believed that the United States was an imperialist power extending themselves

288
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,160
into other territories that it didn't belong to, and were against the fascist regime of

289
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,160
West Germany.

290
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,160
Okay.

291
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:45,320
Their leaders were Andres, Bader, and I think it's Oreich, Minhoff, the gang would support

292
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,520
themselves and their movement by robbing banks and would often set explosions or commit

293
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,240
arson in an effort to raise awareness about their revolutionist ideas.

294
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,440
All right.

295
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:59,840
These attacks were most often targeted, most often targeted West German military installations

296
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,120
and West German corporations.

297
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,160
Eventually the group called themselves the Red Army faction and developed into 22 core

298
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,600
groups and dozens of followers.

299
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,800
The group were labeled terrorists and their actions became more and more violent as the

300
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,200
years went on.

301
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,720
They would sometimes align themselves with groups of militant Palestinians and on several

302
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,240
occasions actually managed to hijack planes.

303
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,640
What does this have to do with psychology?

304
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:24,640
Yeah.

305
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,720
These are just bad people.

306
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:32,480
In 1994, an online commenting board under an article claiming the term, quote, frequency

307
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,720
illusion, end quote, the commenter had said that they always called it the Bader-Minhoff

308
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,160
phenomenon or Minhoff, however you say it.

309
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,960
They had once heard two separate groups of people talking about the gang twice in one

310
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,200
day and never hearing of the gang before and began to think what are the odds that I would

311
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:54,600
hear two things in the same day with two separate people that had nothing to do with each other.

312
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:55,600
Right?

313
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,720
So, I'm just fucking explaining how often this happens to me.

314
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:58,720
It happens to me too.

315
00:13:58,720 --> 00:13:59,720
It's the astral plane.

316
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:00,880
I never called it that.

317
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:05,240
That was actually a term that Joe told me, Joe from work.

318
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,320
He said, yeah, it's called the astral plane.

319
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,880
And I was like, what the hell is that?

320
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:09,880
That's what he said.

321
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:10,880
He's like, would you hear two things at the same time?

322
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:11,880
That's what I call it.

323
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:12,880
So, that's what I call it now.

324
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,480
So, Bader-Minhoff, also known as frequency illusion, happens when we are introduced to

325
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:21,840
a new idea or thought that our brains are able to recognize more frequently after thought

326
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:22,840
it or seen it.

327
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:23,840
Yeah, of course.

328
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,800
So, I've definitely talked about it before where I'm like, you ever date someone?

329
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,800
You see that car everywhere?

330
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:30,800
Yeah.

331
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:31,800
Because not that it wasn't always there.

332
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,680
It's just you're able to recognize it more easily now.

333
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:39,800
So, it is closely related to the recency illusion, where one experiences a new thing

334
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,280
recently, making it a recent thing.

335
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,920
So, say you hear a song that you assume is recent, only because you just are hearing

336
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,200
about it or listening to it, but it's from the 90s.

337
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,080
Like, was that Kate Bush song, running up that hill?

338
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,080
Yeah.

339
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,720
It was like all of a sudden that exploded and it's like, oh, what's this new song?

340
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:58,960
It's like, oh, Kate Bush.

341
00:14:58,960 --> 00:14:59,960
She's been on it all forever.

342
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:00,960
Yeah.

343
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,480
You know what actually this happened to me the other day?

344
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,480
Mm-hmm.

345
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,600
Remember when we were recording your case, your most recent case, and you said like nine

346
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,200
years her junior and I was like, what the fuck does that mean?

347
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,200
Yeah.

348
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,280
I was researching my case the next fucking day and it said that in the research.

349
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,280
Yeah.

350
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:16,280
And I was like, that's what it means.

351
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,280
Yeah, that's what it means.

352
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,280
Oh, God, this is just crazy to me, like that can happen.

353
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,280
That happens all the time.

354
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,480
I feel like I used to watch Family Guy all the time and I would think of a quote from

355
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,000
Family Guy like an episode and I would watch it.

356
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,280
I would just pick up where I left off and it would be that episode when I came home.

357
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,280
I'm like, what the hell?

358
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:32,280
Yeah.

359
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:33,280
I should bring just those.

360
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:38,280
So yeah, frequency illusion or yeah, or if it's a recent thing that you feel like it's

361
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,280
like a new thing.

362
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:40,280
Yeah.

363
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:41,280
Recent illusion.

364
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,280
Okay.

365
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,280
Interesting, right?

366
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:44,280
That is really interesting.

367
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,280
I didn't know what to call that except for the astral plane, right?

368
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,280
All right.

369
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,280
I don't know what number we're on, but it is the placebo effect.

370
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,280
Oh, yeah.

371
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:52,280
I love it.

372
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:59,280
So the placebo effect, placebo meaning shall be pleasing, which is interesting in Latin.

373
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,280
Shall be please, shall be please, shall be please.

374
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,280
Pleasiest stories.

375
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,280
So that early, that's the third time I said that today, I think.

376
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,280
Oh, that's weird.

377
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:07,280
What just happened?

378
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:08,280
Frequency illusion?

379
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,280
Yeah.

380
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:10,280
Well, I did it though.

381
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,280
I did it each time.

382
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,280
Yeah, I did it each time.

383
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:13,280
It was me every time.

384
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:18,280
So this refers to the phenomenon that you may believe a treatment is working simply because

385
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,000
you were told it would or you believed it would.

386
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,880
A placebo is a treatment, maybe a medication or a shot that has no real effect on the brain

387
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,240
or body.

388
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,880
These are usually used as a control and an experiment.

389
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:35,280
You, the volunteer, may be taking a placebo or a medication that unbeknownst to you.

390
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,480
It might be one or the other.

391
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,600
You may begin to sleep better after being treated for insomnia.

392
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,680
You may feel less depressed after being treated for depression.

393
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:50,120
There has even been cases where pain has been reduced during treatment, all with the effect

394
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,120
of the placebo.

395
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,280
I'm telling you, it's a mental game just as much as it is a physical game.

396
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,280
It's like that whole mind over matter type thing, right?

397
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,840
You might come to the end of the experiment and be told that the entire treatment time

398
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,800
that you were actually taking sugar pills.

399
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,840
So this is the placebo effect.

400
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,880
Most researchers believe that this effect is due to one's expectancy.

401
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,400
If you expect the treatment to work, then it will.

402
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,560
They say that often with cancer patients to believe in the treatment.

403
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,280
That's also part of the psychology of it, is that if you believe it will happen, your

404
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,840
body works in very mysterious ways.

405
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,200
Mentalities have to battle, like I'm saying.

406
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,960
I think that this also, and I don't know if you're going to mention it or not, it also

407
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:33,240
can be true for someone that you trust telling you something and then you believing them.

408
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,880
Like, perfect example, I think Casey knows everything.

409
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,880
Casey is never wrong about anything.

410
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,960
His all facts are correct.

411
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,560
If I'm fearful about something, I express that to him.

412
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:47,880
He reassures me with a fact or something that he knows to be true and that I have less fear

413
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:53,240
from what I was talking about because I trust his opinion or thoughts or whatever.

414
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,240
And because of that, that's kind of like a placebo.

415
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,960
He could be lying to me, but it would still make me feel better because he said it.

416
00:17:58,960 --> 00:17:59,960
You know what I mean?

417
00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:01,800
No, I totally understand what you're saying.

418
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:07,000
Also in contrast, the individual being treated may also expect the treatment not to work.

419
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,360
And in fact, many of these negative thoughts have produced even more complications to the

420
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:16,080
volunteer as they actually manifest side effects of the perceived medication and actually worsens

421
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,080
their conditions.

422
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,080
Which is...

423
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:24,200
Well, you ever heard about the phenomenon where if you think you might be pregnant and

424
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,880
you really think you're pregnant, you can actually have pregnancy symptoms?

425
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,840
Yeah, I've heard of that for sure.

426
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:29,840
You just believe it.

427
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:30,840
Just believe it.

428
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:31,840
And then it's like, oh, hold on.

429
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,240
Did my boobs always hurt like this?

430
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:34,240
Right.

431
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,240
Like, you know, like certain things.

432
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,240
Am I gaining weight or whatever?

433
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,240
Or in the case of like maybe back pain, like you're taking this medication and you are

434
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,920
so fearful of all the side effects of this medication could cause that you actually start

435
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,480
developing the side effects, even though you're just taking up the CBO.

436
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,240
Yeah, that's literally me when I take my new medication.

437
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:55,920
So the negative side effects or, you know, lack thereof would be called a non-CBO, which

438
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,000
is interesting, which means shall harm.

439
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Shall harm.

440
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Shall harm.

441
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Okay.

442
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,000
A non-CBO.

443
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,960
In your cases, patients can actually experience withdrawal symptoms if the patient truly believes

444
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,120
that they are weaning off the medication that was seemingly affecting them.

445
00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:12,120
God, that's so crazy.

446
00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:13,620
And it's just in your mind.

447
00:19:13,620 --> 00:19:14,620
Your head does that.

448
00:19:14,620 --> 00:19:15,620
Your brain does that.

449
00:19:15,620 --> 00:19:17,120
It's so wild.

450
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:19,120
It's so wild.

451
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:20,120
Ugh.

452
00:19:20,120 --> 00:19:22,160
So that's the placebo effect.

453
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,160
Yeah.

454
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:28,120
Dang, I'm never going to like be in an experiment because I'm going to freak out and everything

455
00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:29,240
like that's going to happen to me.

456
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,040
So number whatever.

457
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,040
Cryptomnesia.

458
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,040
Okay.

459
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,920
Which is a weird strange word.

460
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,120
It sounds like you forget that you stole something.

461
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:38,120
Right.

462
00:19:38,120 --> 00:19:39,120
Or not, that's kleptomnesia.

463
00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:40,120
Kleptomnesia.

464
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:41,120
Yeah.

465
00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:44,800
This is cryptomnesia with an M-N, which is kind of hard to say.

466
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:50,440
Ronald T. Kellogg defines cryptomnesia as, quote, the belief that I thought is novel

467
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,280
when in fact it is memory, end quote.

468
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:54,280
Okay.

469
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:59,600
So cryptomnesia occurs when we think we've discovered or created a new thought, song,

470
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,200
theory, when in reality we just simply remembered it.

471
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:04,200
Okay.

472
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,320
Like your brain logged it away and then it was like, this is a brand new idea.

473
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,080
Like when I saw the iPod, I could have kicked myself.

474
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,080
Okay.

475
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,800
That's for baby mama.

476
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:19,720
This is actually without the individual's comprehension knowledge, a contrast, and the

477
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,960
person actually believes that they came up with the idea originally.

478
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,920
Yeah, they're not actually like fool someone.

479
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:24,920
Yeah, exactly.

480
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,920
It's without the intent to manipulate.

481
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:28,920
Yeah.

482
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:34,720
So believe it or not, the origin of cryptomnesia can be linked to spiritual mediums.

483
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:41,880
Cryptomnesia was first recorded in 1847 when William Stanton Moses, a medium, began communicating

484
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:47,360
with two brothers that had passed away in India a week prior.

485
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:51,520
Moses' knowledge of the men's passing was miraculous and it was believed that he was

486
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,760
in fact communicating with the two brothers.

487
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,000
Moses eventually realized that his claim that he was talking to the deceased men was

488
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,760
due to him reading about the incident in the newspaper a week earlier.

489
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,120
He just forgot.

490
00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:06,120
It was unintentional.

491
00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:11,080
And this effect has been used to explain away many coincidences in the medium world.

492
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,080
Do you remember that?

493
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,040
We probably don't actually.

494
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,240
Montell Williams, he used to have that psychic lady.

495
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,240
What was her name?

496
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,040
Susan Brown, I think was her name or something.

497
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,880
Brown, Sylvia Brown I think it was, and she was the spiritual medium apparently.

498
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,840
And she was on the show and she'd be like, does anybody know anybody with a J name?

499
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,840
And it's like, literally everybody.

500
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:33,840
Yeah.

501
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,920
Do you feel like there was a death in the family?

502
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,480
It's like, literally everybody.

503
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:38,480
Yeah.

504
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,320
But I think, I don't know, now it's so easy.

505
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:48,160
I tried to take a friend of mine to go get a reading and they wanted it by appointment

506
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,160
only.

507
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,520
Okay, well, did you want to be able to research us?

508
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,360
Yeah, I was like, you can just Google me.

509
00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:54,360
Yeah.

510
00:21:54,360 --> 00:21:55,360
I have a podcast.

511
00:21:55,360 --> 00:21:57,360
Your Popsip is a podcast now.

512
00:21:57,360 --> 00:21:58,360
Yeah, exactly.

513
00:21:58,360 --> 00:21:59,360
Oh gosh.

514
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:05,240
That is so cool that when you Google us now, there's a little bar to the right that says

515
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,520
our synopsis and stuff.

516
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:07,520
It's so nuts.

517
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:08,520
This is True Crime Podcast.

518
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:09,840
True Google recognizes us as a podcast.

519
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,000
That we're a podcast.

520
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,080
So the likes of Carl Jung and Frederick Nietzsche have also written in length on the subject

521
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,680
of cryptomnesia, which I found interesting.

522
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,440
So it's definitely not just something that happens.

523
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:30,800
So like, actual psychiatrists and psychoanalysts and that they recognize this as well.

524
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:31,800
Cryptomnesia.

525
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,640
That's really interesting.

526
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,840
Number 1005, Dunning and Kruger Effect.

527
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:46,440
So in 1999, a study conducted by David Dunning and Justin Kruger had young adults that were

528
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:51,920
to participate in testing of their knowledge of three separate categories, logic, grammar,

529
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,480
and humor.

530
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,320
These studies were to determine not just the knowledge of the participants, but also how

531
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:02,480
competent each participant felt in their knowledge of each category.

532
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:07,560
So in the humor category, for example, jokes were presented to 65 participants, leaving

533
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:12,200
them to decide what they thought the majority of people would find funny.

534
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,520
Like apples to apples or cards against humanity, right?

535
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,440
They had the idea in 1999.

536
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,360
So participants who found themselves to be excellent judges of all things funny were

537
00:23:22,360 --> 00:23:26,760
actually the ones that had the lowest success rate at choosing a funny joke, even though

538
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,560
they were super confident that they knew humor.

539
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:35,240
Another example in logic, an equal group of men and women were chosen to participate in

540
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,920
a science quiz.

541
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:41,240
Most of the women were shocked that they had performed as well as the men, given that they

542
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,200
believed somehow they were intellectually inferior or incompetent in a subject like

543
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,200
science.

544
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:52,480
And then, of course, on the flip side, the men were surprised that they weren't as...

545
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,840
You know, they weren't 10 times better than the women.

546
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,200
Oh, I thought it was going to be like a different subject than they were.

547
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,120
No, yeah, they were surprised that they didn't do better than the women, essentially.

548
00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:06,400
Another study was done that posed kind of like a questionnaire.

549
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,960
Subjects were asked if they were savvy in things like politics, biology, physics, and

550
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,160
so on.

551
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,920
But they were also asked if they were savvy in words that were completely made up and

552
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,120
there was no subject.

553
00:24:18,120 --> 00:24:24,600
So they would just be like, oh, what's your knowledge like on lestinology or something?

554
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:25,600
You know?

555
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:26,920
And they'd be like, oh, I know all about that.

556
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:27,920
Isn't that crazy?

557
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:28,920
People are so annoying.

558
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,720
They have to be the smartest, right?

559
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,160
Can you just admit that you don't know something?

560
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,560
Like, that's one of my biggest pet peeves and someone can't admit that they don't know.

561
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,760
I swear, one time I did that to like an old, old, old friend of mine.

562
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,440
I was like, oh yeah, this new movie came out blah, blah, blah, it's called This and That

563
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:43,440
the Other.

564
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:44,440
Did you see it?

565
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:45,440
And it wasn't a real movie.

566
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:46,440
You said, oh yeah, it was a okay, blah, blah.

567
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:47,440
That's over, sure.

568
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:48,440
Why can't you just say you didn't see it?

569
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,760
Kelly and I used to call it the, the white rabbit, the black bunnies.

570
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,480
We said, you listen to the black bunnies?

571
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:54,760
Yeah, the black bunnies are so good.

572
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,160
They're going to be at the white rabbit this weekend.

573
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,160
Oh, that's so funny.

574
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,160
I love it.

575
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:04,160
So believe it or not, 90% of the participants said that they knew these make-believe categories.

576
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,960
Wow, because again, people can't admit that they don't know.

577
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,160
They can't stand to not know.

578
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,160
You just have some humility.

579
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:10,880
Like, have some, like, be humble.

580
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,400
And then what, you might learn something?

581
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:13,400
Oh no.

582
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,120
I actually did.

583
00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:19,160
Dunning and Kruger were able to determine that these participants suffered from something

584
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,160
that they called dual burden.

585
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,160
People are not only incompetent, but they lack the awareness to be able to realize how inept

586
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,160
they are.

587
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,160
You know what I mean?

588
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,280
People who are incompetent tend to overestimate their skill levels, fail to recognize the

589
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:39,240
genuine skill and expertise of others, and fail to recognize their own mistakes and lack

590
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:40,240
of skill.

591
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,800
Let's be clear, incompetence has nothing to do with one's IQ.

592
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:50,680
It is defined as not having or showing the necessary skills to do something successfully.

593
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,240
And there is nothing wrong with that.

594
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,000
How could we all avoid the Dunning-Kruger effect?

595
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,440
By learning.

596
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,560
Come to a greater understanding of what it is you want to know about.

597
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,360
Try to gain another's perspective by asking how you're improving on a topic.

598
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:06,960
It's harder to compete with others when we have conversations with others about what

599
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:07,960
we're new to.

600
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,840
And if you don't know, ask.

601
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:15,120
We could all do better about being vulnerable and asking about a topic that we don't understand.

602
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:17,240
So don't be afraid to say I don't know.

603
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,040
I love it, because honestly, I feel like that's such a big deal with adults.

604
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,240
It's like people, again, I keep saying this, people are afraid to admit that they don't

605
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,240
know something.

606
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,720
I'm the first person to be like, what?

607
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:27,720
I'm sorry, what?

608
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:28,720
I have no idea what you're talking about.

609
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,280
Can you please educate me?

610
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:31,280
Right, yeah.

611
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:32,280
I don't know what that means.

612
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:33,280
Can you tell me?

613
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,280
Can you tell me?

614
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:35,280
Do you love me?

615
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:36,280
Do you love me?

616
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,280
Do you learn to love me?

617
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,280
Can you learn to love me?

618
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:39,280
That's a perfect time to put on a diet.

619
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:40,280
Yeah, we're doing Baileys for it.

620
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:41,280
We're doing Baileys for it.

621
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,280
Damn it.

622
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:43,280
I've never drank Baileys from a shoe.

623
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,280
I know what I'm saying.

624
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,280
That's interesting though.

625
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:53,280
Yeah, and you guys, I mean, if you're listening to this episode, you probably aren't like

626
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,960
the people that we're describing, because you probably want to learn new things, right?

627
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,160
Well, you're learning right now.

628
00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,160
Good for you.

629
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:00,160
Good for you.

630
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,160
Proud of you.

631
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:02,640
I'm gonna take the last one.

632
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,880
Probably the most infamous one, deja vu.

633
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,880
Oh, yes, obviously.

634
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,280
Are you like, I've heard this before.

635
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,280
Oh, does this sound familiar?

636
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,680
I've been here before.

637
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:19,040
Deja vu, meaning already seen, is a phenomenon I'm sure we've all experienced.

638
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:23,760
It is the feeling of being somewhere, hearing something or otherwise, that feels so familiar,

639
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,240
you swear you've experienced it before, but you kind of know you haven't.

640
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:32,240
I don't think that you're gonna convince me that this isn't like my past life coming

641
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:33,240
back to me.

642
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:34,240
You don't think so?

643
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:35,480
Well, the answer might terrify you.

644
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:36,480
Oh, Jesus Christ.

645
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:37,480
I know.

646
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:38,480
Oh, Jesus, go first.

647
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:39,480
Jesus Christ.

648
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:40,800
I told Cliff about it earlier, and he's like, don't tell me that.

649
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,320
Oh, my no, okay.

650
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:49,000
So this is still a phenomenon that has no scientific explanation, but there are some theories that

651
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,240
have been presented that have to do with the temporal lobe.

652
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:53,480
Oh, God.

653
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:58,240
The temporal lobe is located above your ears on either side of your head in between the

654
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,840
temples, or behind each temple, you know what I'm saying.

655
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:07,680
The temporal lobe is responsible for quite a few things, including visual recognition,

656
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,760
senses, and memory.

657
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:16,000
Deja vu tends to occur more often between ages of 15 to 25, and individuals who happen

658
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,280
to have a higher education, who travel more often and can still remember dreams the next

659
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,600
day, and they also tend to be liberal.

660
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,920
That's the research that's out me, but they tend to be liberal people.

661
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:30,640
Although deja vu is common amongst people, in very rare cases, deja vu can be linked to

662
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,080
neurological disorders, like temporal lobe seizures.

663
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,080
Awesome.

664
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,240
Are you ready?

665
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:42,360
Temporal lobe seizures can produce feelings of deja vu, signs that you might be having

666
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:43,880
a temporal lobe seizure.

667
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:44,880
Oh, God.

668
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:45,880
You freaked me out.

669
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:46,880
Versus regular deja vu.

670
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:47,880
Versus the regular seizure.

671
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:48,880
Like what?

672
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:49,880
No.

673
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:58,160
Set in unexplained feelings like joy or anger, problems controlling your muscles, twitching

674
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:04,720
in your muscles, having sensations that involve visions, taste, hearing, smelling, touch, all

675
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,200
your senses.

676
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,520
Feeling as though you're about to have a seizure, which, you know, that's great.

677
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,800
That does not sound very fun, right?

678
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:17,160
So it could, what you're saying is, when one experiences deja vu, it could actually just

679
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,960
be a mini seizure.

680
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:19,960
Kind of.

681
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:20,960
Great.

682
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,840
If it happens often though, and the only reason is because when temporal lobe seizures occur,

683
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,120
it is in that same region where we would experience deja vu.

684
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,800
And again, this is just a theory.

685
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:31,800
Yeah.

686
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,800
That it has to do with a temporal lobe because that's where all your senses lie and your

687
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:36,800
memories lie.

688
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:37,800
Your memory, yeah.

689
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,280
And it's your brain short circuiting thinking like, oh, this feels familiar.

690
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,600
It's giving you that sense of familiarity without you ever having to experience it.

691
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:46,600
Okay, I got it.

692
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:47,600
That makes sense.

693
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,000
And like, you know, what you said, you're like, change my mind.

694
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,640
I swear this is a past life.

695
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,520
Or some people say I'm on the right path because I'm re-experienced.

696
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,640
Like this is where I'm supposed to be.

697
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:57,640
And things like that.

698
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,400
Like people have all different kinds of explanations for it.

699
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:05,640
But all it is, I think after reading this, it's your brain telling you this is familiar

700
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:06,640
when it's really not.

701
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:07,640
When it's really not.

702
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:08,640
It's just short circuiting.

703
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:13,000
I just, sometimes I go down a rabbit hole in my own brain and I think like, all of life

704
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:19,080
has already happened for me and me currently is me laying in my deathbed and just reliving

705
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,080
moments of my life.

706
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:22,880
They have you on a machine right now.

707
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,760
We're on a machine right now.

708
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,120
It's the Matrix.

709
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,120
And I get to watch my success.

710
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,440
But I'm also like not alive.

711
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:32,440
I don't know.

712
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:33,440
Yeah.

713
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:34,440
No, I totally get what you're saying.

714
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,240
We're uploaded into a consciousness somewhere.

715
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,240
Yeah.

716
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,240
Like I don't know.

717
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,240
It's just, I don't know.

718
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:40,240
It's true.

719
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:41,240
It's crazy.

720
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,520
I've been talking about this whole episode is like how much your brain can convince you

721
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,720
that something is happening or something that's real.

722
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,760
You have an infinite amount of imagination.

723
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:51,760
It's true.

724
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:56,400
And if you really try hard enough, you can literally make your brain believe anything.

725
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:57,840
You can not even believe anything.

726
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:58,840
It's so true.

727
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,400
That overview effect, one messes with me.

728
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,400
Oh yeah.

729
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,920
But before we wrap up, I did find this really interesting that there are other Dejas.

730
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:11,760
So there's Deja Intendu, which already heard, which is already heard.

731
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,320
Deja, these are all in French.

732
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,760
I've never heard every single one of these.

733
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,760
Deja Imprové already experienced.

734
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,480
Deja Fait, which is already done.

735
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,000
Deja Pense, which is already thought.

736
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,520
Deja Reconde, I did not have a tongue for French.

737
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,320
I have a tongue for Spanish, which is already recounted.

738
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:40,000
Deja Sintai, which is already felt emotionally or already smelled, which I thought was really

739
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,480
interesting that it means both.

740
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:42,480
Yeah, that is interesting.

741
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,640
Like you already felt like how closely smell is related to memory.

742
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:47,640
Yeah, absolutely.

743
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,640
I love it.

744
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,320
Deja Su, which is already known or you have the knowledge of.

745
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,480
Deja Trové, which is already found.

746
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,240
Deja Vecou, which is already lived through.

747
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,760
And Deja Volo, which is already wanted.

748
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,480
Dang, there's a lot of them.

749
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:05,480
There's a lot of Dejas out there.

750
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,960
There's a lot of Dejas that all we do is say Deja Vu.

751
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,760
So mind your peace and queues.

752
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,360
Find out what Deja you're talking about, because there's a bunch.

753
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,680
I swear I've seen this before.

754
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,560
Deja Vu, don't tell me that is.

755
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:19,560
It is actually.

756
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:20,880
Oh, Deja Vu is already seen.

757
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,680
Oh, I've already seen this before.

758
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,200
I could have said any other sense and that's the one I went with.

759
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,200
I've already felt this before.

760
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,600
I like the Deja Sintai, how do you say it?

761
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,600
Sinti, Sinti.

762
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:33,600
That's another little French.

763
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:34,600
Sinti, Sinti.

764
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:35,600
Right?

765
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:36,600
Sinti, Sinti.

766
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:37,920
But that's already smelled.

767
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:43,360
And I would like that's, me and Cliff were talking about that earlier too, where it's,

768
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:49,520
I've had so many of those where you smell something for the, you haven't smelled in 10 years, 12

769
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,920
years, but it reminds you immediately.

770
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,360
You know exactly what that scent is.

771
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:54,360
Yeah.

772
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:55,720
Did you only get one sniff and then it's gone?

773
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:56,720
It's gone after that.

774
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,800
I don't walk by someone with like a perfume that I used to wear in like high school and

775
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,800
I'm like, that's that one perfume.

776
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,800
Yeah, and I'll go around sniffing and I don't get it again.

777
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,800
Yeah, people are like, what the fuck are you doing?

778
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:08,800
Deja Sintai.

779
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:09,800
That's it.

780
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:10,800
Yeah, that was interesting.

781
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:11,800
I liked that.

782
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:20,800
Yeah, it's a little, it's a little bit of a, just a, a palette of different flavors there.

783
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:21,800
So.

784
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:22,800
Well, no, that was really interesting.

785
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,800
And the fact that you said that there's a lot more, we definitely need to do another

786
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,800
mental breakdown on that because that was really cool.

787
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,800
There's a lot.

788
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,800
Well, I was thinking during this episode, we should just go ahead and do ad free for

789
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,800
all of the episodes leading up to the podcast con because it's a special week.

790
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:37,800
Yeah.

791
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,800
So you guys are going to get this episode completely ad free.

792
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,800
What is doing intro music and outro music and we hope you enjoy three days of ad free,

793
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:44,800
three days of ad free.

794
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:45,800
I love that.

795
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:46,800
Yep.

796
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:47,800
For everyone.

797

Oh, I'm so hungry.

798
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,800
Okay, we'll talk to you guys later.

799
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:51,800
All right.

800
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:52,800
Love you guys.

801
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:53,800
Bye.

802
00:33:53,800 --> 00:34:00,800
Bye.
