We're Wired To Believe
How A Lie Can Become True?
Tom O'Connor
Humans love lies.
Michael Stevens, creator of the hit show Mindfield, hooked up with Dr. Aaron Blaisdell, a top Psychology Professor from UCLA, to see how easy it would be to turn a lie into a truth.
So they built a huge ‘Skinner Box’ (the same kind of box B.F. Skinner used to do some of his landmark studies on animal behaviour), but this time they populated it with real humans…
…to study how quickly humans form new beliefs!
They used it to create a fake game show where participants could win money.
But really, they were being studied to see how quickly the human mind turns suspicions about what caused them to earn money into hardened beliefs.
They called the fake TV show Victory Vault.
Watch this excellent video below to see how quickly lies can become true.
See how easily humans can be manipulated by our own beliefs and environment to form stories that have no basis in actuality?
This does happen once, it is happening all the time.
Causing people to form beliefs that aren't helpful.
More on that in a future video.
To your success,
Tom
P.S. Beliefs on the surface seem pretty simple.
We rely on them every day and what we believe and don’t believe has profound implications for our wellbeing, health and long-term success.
Yet it turns out the beliefs we hold are frequently little more than acts of magic – puffed into reality by thought.
When you understand how beliefs are created and sustained, you can change them quickly, but before we do that we need to get really clear about what beliefs are.
In our next video we're going to begin to tackle the limiting beliefs...
Talk soon,
Tom
