Today we will talk at least a little bit about the current disasters in Japan but only as a frame of reference. For instance right now people are rushing to buy Geiger counters and potassium iodide supplements and many are paying a premium to get them NOW before they can’t get one at all.
Such actions are the actions of scared and more importantly clueless people, not an empowered population who understands the current threat to our nation, or lack thereof.
The reality is most people in the modern world have lost touch with an ancient survival component that is built into our mental and physical wiring. When the component emerges and is not fully understood it leads to a cycle of poor decisions that make bad situations worse.
Join me today as we discuss…
- The initial extreme, normalcy bias
- The emergence of the predator/prey instinct we have tried to deny
- The second extreme, overcompensation
- The third extreme, hyper-competitiveness
- The fourth extreme, paranoia
- The fifth extreme, depression
- The sixth extreme, regret
- Breaking or staying out of the cycle
- Past disasters and possible disasters and what they teach us
- Why you always must ask questions before you act
