Tuesday Rant

Good rant, but, clouded by his use of sun glasses during the first part of the vid, wearing sun glasses, dark no less, what is he hiding? A perception yes, but I am trained to observe that. So many of these vid warriors don't understand optics and perception of the viewer and their behavior while trying to sell an idea.

Another one, this was a commercial... the text pop-ups extolling his business. Why I tend to shy away from watching vids like this, very few are pure messages. Look closely at the next few, once seen, can never be ignored and that will color your perception. What is this snake oil salesman selling?

I am fearful of harshing your mellow...

you are not harshing my mellow - but I am going to rewatch when i get a chance and see if I see what you are seeing. I did notice the sunglasses - but I watch a lot of his videos so that part didn't bother me. I will get back to you on this.

I am not trying to be cynical, it comes naturally and reinforced by education and experience. I should market myself to these vid warriors on how to present themselves to the public, what the public sees is debatable, but sub-consciously it does effect a response. I know I appear judgmental. I like to counter I am assessing, that is what nurses and therapists do...

err on the side of caution these days, there is way to many fakers out there

Fakers... Sure does dilute the message, the signal. I know it is part of the others playbook to obscure and deflect. Right in satan's Bible, his manifesto so to speak.

when all the good guys are secretly the bad guys I'd rather not be fooled again. it is what it is. who knows - you could be right about rex - he pushes his patreon very hard. if I had to pay to read or watch videos to everyone I read or watch their videos I couldn't afford to buy groceries. I'm of the adage of - freely you have received, freely give. God will pick up the slack
