Former FBI Agent Breaks Down Universal Body Language | WIRED
Former FBI agent and body language expert Joe Navarro breaks down the unintentional non-verbals that are displayed by human beings around the globe. Joe explains how the limbic system functions and why we act the way we do in certain situations. Check out Joe’s book “The Dictionary of Body Language” Books By Joe Navarro: Joe…

This is really interesting. But just as much as this is nature, the limbic system can be conditioned. For example survivors of trauma can get stuck in a state of freeze.

I’m not going to the better lit gas station because it might be safer actually. I’m going there because I feel like it will have better service than the darker gas station. We’ve lost our canine teeth? Ya idk who those people are in the video but I and everyone else in San Diego have pretty sharp canine teeth that we use to tear steak up. The reason why we tuck our thumb away is because it is the most important finger on our hand and without them, we can’t pick anything up. Gonna give this video a thumbs down due to how much misinformation or subjectiveness there is because this is supposed to be a factual video.

Speaking as someone with a specialized military background and now a Psychotherapist (Psy.D.) EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THESE RESPONSES CAN AND ARE TRAINED AWAY TO ACHIEVE A SUPERIOR TACTICAL ADVANTAGE‼️
These trading are long, relatively slow to achieve, but one imprinted, become a higher ranked instinctual response then ANY Limbic response. This will make highly trained and specialized soldiers, orders of magnitude more effective than non-trained soldiers.
If we’re putting all our cards on the table, this means breaking someone down systematically and psychologically, over and over, repeating specific training, over an extended period of time.
Now, to acclimate these highly specialized operatives to regular, run of the mill life, they must be just as purposely, re-acclimated to a civilian tone of existence. But make no mistake, they were broken down, and can never go back to their pre-military “normal”‼️

@ken mcdade why not? Why can’t we believe that we were all created by “God” and then evolved to best suit our environments? I mean there has been life in earth for 3.5 billion years, why would you assume everything remained as it was? Evolution doesn’t contradict the Genesis story at all. You can maintain your faith and while also accepting modern science.

Thot Police
December 1, 2020 at 3:30 pm
That kind of research is pretty far out there.
The accepted approach is to help him as much as you can, know that it’s probably genetic if its super early in life.
The brain pulls a lot of energy(nothing goes to waste) and a lack of communication skills can manifest as skills in other areas. They have therapy for kids who are like that.

Thot Police
December 1, 2020 at 3:19 pm
A design still requires a method of production to be anything but an idea, unless you believe this is all a simulation, which would make a design without manufacturing/development plausible.
Look at any design ever created (you did not witness God’s creation, you merely ARE God’s creation, so that doesn’t count), and you will see that many prior versions will precede a more perfect or current design.
Evolution is God doing research and development in the study of life. God is absolutely compatible with evolution.

It’s cool how even the oldest instincts still have use – for example the shown example of avoiding something thrown at us.

The supersternal notch is a great place to control people– do a slow spear hand into it and they crumple, but you don’t risk killing them because you’re just compressing their trachea instead of crushing their larynx– it’s just REALLY unpleasant, but effective.

Guy: explains why we tuck thumbs in by speculating about our evolutionary past.
Two seconds later: shows that it’s still relevant today.
Why not cut to the chase: we have this reflex because it’s useful TODAY and at all times really. Why bring evolution storytelling into it, besides trying to sound sophisticated?
Really, all these reflexes do have purposes today. Mothers still have hair. Threats still exist. Physics and kinetics are still real.
