Hey guys,
What would you do with a little access to Dr. Eric Knowles, one of the top academic researchers of persuasion in the world?
(for some background, see DrKnowles.Com - Omega Strategies™: Persuasion by Removing Resistance, and check out the #1 bestseller “Influence” by Dr. Robert Cialdini, where some of Dr. Knowles studies are featured)
Would you ask him about how to apply his strategies to pheromone use?
Would you want him to help arrange an academic research project?
Would you and a few others from here like to get together on a phone call with him to ask about how to apply his work with your own phero experiments?
Would you ask him to wear Instant Honesty, hoping he’d turn all pink and start giving you “the meaty stuff” behind persuasion?
What would you want?
Dr. Eric is one of the coolest academic researchers ever. Not a typical ivory tower guy, he does let his feet touch the ground. His “Omega” persuasion strategies are extremely powerful, and applicable right here, right now in the every day reality we real people live in. (hey, even professors and phds are real people, too, right?)
You know, even the academic concepts of Omega and Alpha persuasion strategies are useful to us. We might want to start using them around here, every now and then.
Alpha strategies, which are what people like Dr. Cialdini focus on, are basically the things that get us interested. Things that attract us. Things that hit our buttons and get us all wiggly. In pheromonal terms, that might be something like androstenone for women, TAH for guys… Maybe some new molecules, too, like P83 which gives some of us girls butterflies (although P83 might also function as an omega mone? keep reading and you’ll see what I mean)
As powerful Alpha strategies sounds, Omega strategies have often been shown to outexcel Alpha. These are what add the grease. They reduce resistance and allow you to be persuaded.
Here. Think about this…
Ever been “burned” in a relationship? Who hasn’t right?
Well, what happens right after a “bad” relationship? You’re not exaclty enthused about getting involved withs someone else, right? It’s not that you’re not attracted to people, it’s that you are RESISTANT to giving IN to that attraction. That’s what Omega strategies are all about. Getting over the hurdles of resistance. Over here, these might be equivalent to the more social and disinhibitory pheromones. The ones that allow your natural attractive quality to really shine and be well received by another.
Dr. Knowles is really living proof of his own research. He’s a little quiet at first, but a truly wonderful and engaging man. He’s the kind of person, who, if he asked you for something, you’d have a lot of trouble saying no. See… a living emodiment of omega strategies!
As delighted as I’ve been to speak with Dr. Knowles, he said he’d also be delighted to work with us now that he has the time… but I think he’d prefer fun and interesting projects only. He just recently retired from academia, so I doubt he’d be thrilled make the time to do anything too drab or boring.
That shouldn’t be a problem for us, though. We can make it fun for him, right? 
I’ll be glad to listen to everone’s ideas, merge 'em/synthesize 'em and get something presented to him as soon as possible.
