Frustrating, innit ? 😕 One walks through the business section at Barnes and Noble… some Donald Trump here, some this and that over there… and yet one is struck by how little they have to say… everything is general, inspirational… it’s ATTITUDE… bla bla bla… _but they never seem to drill down into real information, the “how” is never addressed_, everything worth knowing is “proprietary”… trade secrets and all that… so you read maybe 100 things, and this suggests some triangulation is in order, how do you get to the underlying patterns, the real sources of success ? Ever noticed when you’re talking business with somebody, or talking about business with somebody, or you’re around political people, and you start in on sensitive territory, everyone gets so defensive, so tight lipped, so wary, so unwilling to say anything ? Like this strange pall of mystique, silence, paranoia, hyper-control, neuotocism, fear, anxiety, bureaucracy, hidden factors, non-disclosure contracts… whatever the F… Tacitus Rule #7, ( I forget what the first six are, and if I knew I wouldn’t tell you on principle) _the more important, or valuable, or dangerous a piece of information is, the more neurotic people become about that information_, the more their emotional state and behaviors will change with regard to that information, sometimes they get wide eyed, or sometimes get this Wild West Shootout bullshit on their face, all squinty eyed and sizing you up in a “knowing” way… sometimes it becomes mouth energy, like the lips are sealed tight with Crazy Glue (aptly named), or they will stare straight ahead like watching a movie on a tiny screen off in the distance… OK… so get this straight… I sort of imagine that most books written for the middlebrow, wants a simple solution that doesn’t require much steam or angst market, self help-ish variety are either 1. masturbatory vanity jobs so the douchebag ex CEO can see his name bandied about as a “thinker”, 2. money grubbing hack jobs that are the ten thousandth re-packaging of the same old intestinal contents that have been the staple of “success literature” since the 1920s, 3. brain dead neo-mystical drivel that will be forgotten as soon as the next cycle of brain dead neo-mystical drivel establishes a niche in the marketplace (anyone still reading the Celestine Prpohecies ? No ?)… 4. who moved my cheeze ? 5… I can’t tell you about point #5 because you don’t deserve to know…😮 --- _[View the full topic](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/my-post-pheromone-self-game-as-instinct-training/6213)._
