1. How To Watch Frame Games

2. Listening in to other people's
conversations can tell you a lot about
human nature.

3. Now, I don't mean sneaking over to
your neighbor's house and putting you
ear to their door.

4. I mean when you're hanging out with
your friends.

5. It can be a lot of fun to take the
"observer" position from time to time.

6. Keep in mind this is different than
using that as an excuse for not getting
involved.

7. But next time you're hanging out with
three or four people, keep quiet for a
few minutes and just notice the
exchange.

8. Notice how people "put their ideas out
there," notice people's eye
movements and facial expressions
when they speak, and more
importantly, when they finish
speaking.

9. Some people quickly look around,
hoping their idea is accepted, or
hoping it's not rejected.

10. Some people look away, like they can't
bear to see.

11. Some people stare at others, as if they
are aggressively daring others to
contradict them.

12. Now, this all happens subconsciously,
and few people will EVER be aware
that this is going on.

13. But it is.

14. Always.

15. Evolutionary scientists tell us that all
human interaction is a kind of "frame
war," which is a remnant of our
evolutionary past.

16. When we were hunter-gatherers, our
social status was absolutely crucial.

17. Those that had MORE social status got
more sex, and food.

18. And then passed on those "get more
social status genes" to more kids.

19. Amongst animals, there's an idea of a
"pecking order."

20. It literally comes from chickens, who
are in a group with a certain hierarchy.

21. The "dominant' ones get to eat, or
peck first when food shows up. Then
on down the line.

22. Whenever a new member is
introduced into the group, there's a
kind of "domination showdown" to
establish the NEW pecking order.

23. Our human instincts are based on
operating within a group of about 300
people.

24. Which means all the people you
interact with are, on a caveman level,
people who you are UNSURE about,
with regards to THEIR level in the
pecking order.

25. Which is why you see all these "frame
wars" in conversations, even amongst
friends.

26. Because part of our subconscious is
ALWAYS trying to move up the social
chain.

27. Now, if you point this out to people,
they will deny it.

28. Because admitting consciously that
you want more social status sounds
pretty shallow.

29. And admitting this out loud will
actually LOWER your social status.

30. Which is why EVERYBODY is hard
wired to keep it on the down low.

31. Which is why watching people talk is
so much fun. Like watching a boxing
match.

32. Of course, there are plenty of ways to
INCREASE your ability to carefully and
COVERTLY move up the social chain,
without anybody knowing.

33. They'll just know there's something
different about YOU.

34. Something that makes them want to
agree with you. Support you. Follow
you.

35. Think that would be useful?
