This is unbelievable!
EDIT: Stayed up all night to edit the video, link in comments below!!!

I caught something in the live stream of Tyler Robinson's (Charlie Kirk suspect) initial court appearance that NOBODY has pointed out and it is a disastrous mistake on the part of the news. It literally suggests something that didn't happen and depending on where you get your news, some of them are completely incorrect!

I can't wait to show you this weekend!

I can really use your help!

I just dropped a video which is short and sweet but that I worked VERY hard on and I think is really really important. It explains some very common psychological principles that shape public opinion.

Also, so far it has a record breaking 99.9% like to dislike ratio, which means those of you who did see it really enjoyed it. However, since it’s shorter than my usual content, YouTube can limit its reach for complicated analytic reasons. In fact, some of you may not have been notified.

It would be a huge help if you watched it, commented, liked and shared to help me get it out there!

Thanks so much and I hope you’re having an awesome week!

I will not be moving forward with this one.

Earlier today I wrote a post sharing my dilemma with you concerning the requests I got to cover Erika Kirk's video (Charlie Kirk's wife).

Although many of you expressed that we can approach the topic with humanity, kindness and sensibility, and I agree, many of you also stated that it is too soon and too sensitive. On this day, those later voices will win.

I think that for those of you who would want this analysis, a topic will come up, very soon, that will be AS effective for studying emotions and nonverbal communication, but for those who feel we should just let this one go as it might inadvertently cause hurt; avoiding that possibility is higher on my list of priorities than making a succesful video.

To be clear, my analysis would have never been about ripping apart a person who lived something unimaginably horrible, I think most of you know I wouldn't do that. It would have been more about the emotion behind her words and a psychological phenomenon that might explain the focus of her message, but given the context and the sensitive situation, I think the better thing to do is let this one go.

I will instead take this day to be with my own family and be unimaginably grateful for the things I take for granted and that includes all of you, my youtube family who guided me today with wisdom and compassion.

UPDATE!

Sooooo this cold was worse than I thought, it's been kicking my butt all week. Today is the first day I feel back to normal. I would normally film tomorrow and have the video out this week BUT I have a very busy week with live shows and sales training seminars. So unfortunately, I think I will just push the video to the weekend to be back on track having skipped one week. The analysis is a really really good subject so it will be a week late but I think you're going to love it! See you all Saturday! :)

PS: For all members of the channel, I have been very inactive this week with my responses to your comments and because I skipped a video, there was no members only early access so I will be donating this months membership fees on behalf of our Behavioral Arts family!

Thank you for your understanding :)

Hey Everyone!

Just wanted to notify you all that I got hit with a bad cold mid week, I thought I could recover by today and film and rush out this week's video for you by tomorrow but I am still not entirely recovered. I don't feel that I can give my 100% to the analysis and produce something that I am 100% proud of. For that reason I will have to postpone this week's upload. Hopefully I will be able to film during the weekend, worse comes to worse, I'll have it out early-mid week.

Thank you for your patience! Hope you all have a delightful weekend!

Hey everyone!

I’m getting all your requests regarding the Trump/Putin and Trump/Zelensky meetings.

I’ve had a very busy weekend but I’m on it. I normally film on Wednesdays and edit on Thursdays so when things happen between Friday-Monday, it’s very hard for me to get right on it, but I’m trying. I will try to get the Putin one out tomorrow or Wednesday and follow up with Zelensky as a usual Saturday upload.

I apologize for the delay but i take a lot of time to edit my content right for it to be comprehensive and digestible and sometimes that results in uploads that come out later than I would ideally want them to.

And of course, as always I will strictly stick to behaviors and address 0% of the politics. There’s a lot of great stuff regardless of the topic they’re discussing.

Thanks! Hope you have an amazing week 🤗

You asked for it. 😊

Hey everyone, a lot of you had great things to say about the segment in last week’s video about empathy as it relates to autism vs psychopaths. Some of you also asked me to make just that segment a short video for reference and to send to people. I just uploaded it and you can find it in the “shorts” on the channel. I’ll also leave a link in the comments below!

Enjoy 😊

Confession: this was a rough week for me.

As some of you have astutely observed, I don't often cover heavy criminal cases. I learned behavioral analysis as an entertainer, to make people smile, and unlike many of my colleagues, when I see evil in people, I have a hard time shaking it off. This is also the reason I never pursued a career in working with criminals despite many opportunities.

That said, when a lot of you asked me to look at Bryan Kohberger, I did, and I had too much to say about a situation that a lot of people online misread. This wasn't an absence of reaction, it was a festival of reactions and my experience is specifically in reading reactions when a person is listening. There were things that I have seen so many times and am so familiar with! So i decided to cover it.

As you all know, I'm a new father, a role and title that I cherish more than anything I have ever had on this earth. Watching these parents fall apart was not easy, I took a lot of breaks, but I got through what I felt was a very important analysis...

Seeing your comments on today's video has filled my heart to a degree I cannot explain. This has got to me THE most positive feedback on any video I've done. Specifically about the small reactions I caught as a result of my experience in cold reading but MOSTLY about the segment I did about empathy as it relates to autism, this was an extremely important point for me to make in this case and the comments are flooded by viewers who either have ASD or know someone who does, feeling heard and validated. I have read your stories about your family members and I am so glad that I've been able to put it in terms that appears to be very appreciated based on the comments!

Thanks all, you have made this difficult topic worth it for me because we took something dark and evil and squeezed a drop of positivity out of it when it comes to openly discussing an often misunderstood condition.

Wishing you all an incredible weekend!

Change of Plans!

Hope everyone is having an awesome week! Soooooo I was supposed to do two videos this week, the one I dropped yesterday then one for the weekend but my schedule got away from me as I'm getting ready for a weekend away with family. Also, the two topics I wanted to dive into this week are VERY long to look at. I would like to know if you guys still want me to jump on either of these when i get back after the weekend. And film during the week.

Basically, I'm asking, how interested are you in these topics and do you think you'll still be interested next week haha.

The first, which was HIGHLY requested by you is Bryan Kohberger's reaction to the victim impact statements. Not only is there a lot happening here but the reason I think this would be good for me is because reading someone's reactions is literally how I learned behavioral analysis. A lot of behavioral analysts have great experience reading someone when the subject is talking but as someone who did cold readings for entertainment for decades, I often depend on spotting reactions when the subject is listening. He's a good read.

The second, which was less requested but still enough is the Hunter Biden interview that was released this week. From the little I've seen, it seems to be a lot about his life so it's interesting content but less juicy for behavioral analysis, although I've only seen bits and pieces (are there controversial topics discussed?)

ANYWAYS! Let me know in the comments if either of these is something you were interested in and do you sincerely believe you will still care about it next week or will we have moved on to other stuff by then?

Thanks!

Thank you!!! 🤗 ❤️

A few days ago I asked you all to comment on the Coldplay cheating situation to tell me what YOU noticed in the behaviors.

I took every single comment and made a list of all the behaviors you pointed out, including the number of times each one was named and made a game show style video where we go through the list to reveal what behaviors YOU noticed the most!

The video was posted today and so far it’s doing wonderful! I’ll post it in the comments below.

Thank you to those of you who participated and helped me make this a fun and interactive video 🤗
