Lie spotting techniques and deception patterns in TED talk analysis
A response paper to the TED Talks lecture by Pamela Meyes on "How to Spot a Liar." In this paper, the two truths about lying are identified. It is argued that the first truth, that lying is a cooperative act, is more agreeable than the second. Also identified are the two patterns of lie spotting, and an explanation about why contempt is so unique and dangerous. The paper also argues that Hitler's "Big Lie" about Jews is the biggest lie that has been told in the last 150 years.
Life Coach as Singer and Entertainer Bobby
As singer and entertainer Bobby Sherman once remarked, "As far as show business, it's the gratification of doing something that pleases the fans ("Brainy Quote")." As I have seen in so many representations of modern culture in my life, long-term effects are eschewed in favor of immediate results and the deciding factors, more often than not, are economic. As I frequently point out, shortsighted economic policies result in unforeseen long-term consequences. In this essay, the author will show that this is a possibly natural response for instant gratification that technology only heightens. As we shall see, we have to be doing something constantly, as long as it comes fast and furious. Haste does make waste and we should rush into anything before knowing the consequences just because of the need for instant gratification.
