The Plan for Immortality

Scott is hyping WhenHub again. Basically, he'll use it to further document his existence, thus when AI can be developed to replicate his essence, the material can be uploaded.

Is Meryl Streep Persuasive?

Not sure why Scott posts tweets to his blog. Maybe he feels the need to make a quota? He hasn't Periscoped (Coffee) as much lately. Meh. Must be working on his book.

OCD and Creativity

Not sure what made Scott consider OCD and Creativity, but it is a change from recent topics. I don't suffer from OCD, at least I don't think I do. I have my quirks. I have my mild obsessions, but I don't feel compelled to do much of anything. I have a brain defect of some sort which makes having a mild obsession a good thing. I have generalized indifference 97% of the time. I supposedly have bipolar disorder, but it's of the variety that I have never been hospitalized and that I'm not compulsive. I'm prone to depression and to anxiety. Obsessing gives me a channel to concentrate that keeps the two at bay. I'm medicated, too. Probably the main reason I'm meh about most things is due to my medication. I've a thyroid condition which probably causes my mood swings, hence I'm skeptically of my diagnosis. I used to self medicate with alcohol and nicotine, but now I can't smoke or drink because of the meds I'm taking. I drink lots of coffee. I rarely have trouble sleeping, so I can drink coffee all day.
Prior to my diagnosis and subsequent medications, I was mildly creative. There are times I consider my medications as a restrictor plate, but I just assume not go there when I know my wife would kill me if I were to do such a silly thing as go off my meds.

How To Know Your Product Will Succeed

Look for unexpected positive physical action from potential customers.

Seems to be a blog about his book again, and it is. I read the book, so I am not going to comment further, but I will say Scott seems to be stuck on his success as being a fluke. Rationalizing success creates the notion of lightning being caught in a bottle and mass produced. Why are there so many damn 1 hit wonders? At least there used to be a genre of them. They had unexpected success and fizzled when their 15 minutes were up.

WhenHub: Movies Coming in 2017

Meh, WhenHub propaganda. I am not a people person, and I don't really do apps. I felt that way about Twitter until I read a book about Twitter. I'm not saying Scott needs to write a book explaining the benefits of WhenHub, but so far I'm just meh.

Is The Onion Advising Democrats Now?

Was this a Tweet before a blog post?

How About an American Expense-lowering Investment Fund?

Homelessness is perhaps a wild card to Mr. Trump's future legacy. He's a builder, so he could figure out ways to help those that need affordable housing, right? Blog almost touches my thoughts. Scott didn't veer into my idea enough... so let me just point out that tax dollars are given for food and shelter, while the Federal Government owns land and resources that could be allotted instead at no direct taxpayer cost. Maybe divvy out land as reparations? I could go further and explain ideas, but I'll just say solving the root of crime would eliminate prisons. Prisons feed and shelter with no return as far as I can tell. "Ex-convicts can't find real jobs," I found as an excuse for my career college grads not trying to find work.
Fed should give states chance to A/B test ideas by pitching ideas and tryingto be scientific model with the process like Freakonomics claimed about Roe v. Wade did to crime rates.

What if Climate Change Causes more CO2?

Another blog today? Scott has been in the contrarian mood about CC. I've not followed Scott much beyond this past fall, so I guess it may be a staple. Meh, I don't feel strongly about CC. Glaciers and dinosaurs suggest man isn't responsible for the Earth changing temps for long stretches. If you think I'm being simple, consider how warm it would be to allow a cold-blooded huge lizard to live year round.

Your Body is Your Brain Too

Today's blog basically discusses the Diet chapter of Scott's most recent book. I had a hard time reading the chapter, but I charged through it after Scott tweeted me that it's the most important chapter. I thought he was using his persuasion skills to read a meh chapter, but there really is something to the diet... much like those Snickers commercials about not being yourself when you are hungry. Funny that Scott no longer eats Snickers, but he names his dog after the snack.

The Master Persuader Filter and Bernie’s Ad

Really, the first blog of 2017 is about an ad by LOSER BERNIE SANDERS? Actually it's a red herring as a means to discuss Persuasion. Scott has a list that he says people should google. He even had a chapter in his book. It's his favorite subject, and he uses it as the explanation for Mr. Trump's success.
