g better, including the damn pandemic. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go. I feel like I could eat raw pangolin right now. Wouldn't bother me. Nope. Easy. Weird comments today. Let's talk about my notes instead of your weird comments
← Previous segment →about hot dogs. And I don't even want to read the rest of that stuff. It's a weird day today.
All right. I noticed this morning that I've got 150,000 views for my video that's pinned on my Twitter feed teaching you the user interface for reality. And 150,000 views, that's a lot for what I do. And I actually went back and watched it again like a viewer.
There's a strange phenomenon that happens when I make these videos. And I first noticed this when I used to give speeches and a lot of interviews, live interviews I would do. I could do an hour-long interview, and when I walked away I would have no memory of it. I mean, I would have a general memory of it, but I wouldn't really remember what I answered or what I talked about, because I do so many of these.
So I did the user interface to reality video, and I kind of forgot about it instantly the way I always do. Not in any special way, but the way I always do. When I walk away, it's like, okay, I know we talked about that general topic, but I don't hold it in my memory as a whole.
So when I watch myself on playback, I have this weird experience of watching it like I'm watching it for the first time. Like it wasn't me who just said it 24 hours ago. It's the strangest thing. It's like a third-party experience where you're just watching somebody else, because I don't know what I'm gonna say, just like you don't when you're watching it. Because I don't remember what I said or in what order.
And as I'm saying it, I'm watching it, and I had the weirdest experience watching myself talk and saying things I didn't quite know what I was going to say as I said them. But here's the thing that I got out of it. I did not know how much persuasion technique I build into just my regular communication until I watched it as, you know, just an observer, which I typically am not in that head.
And I thought to myself, my God. So he says, were you high? Yeah, I was, of course. But it wasn't the evening. You should know the answer to that question. But that's not why I don't remember them. The reason I don't remember them is common over my entire career, no matter what my men

tal state. But you should watch it. If you watched it once for the content, you might, if you're just interested in technique, especially if you've read Win Bigly, if you're a friend of Win Bigly, look at the persuasion technique that I used throughout. And especially look at this one variable, which I actually talked about in the video, which is curiosity. Watch from the very beginning how I tw…
