      The secret is that money isn't a filter for skill. There are many ways of earning money, especially if morals aren't an issue, yet we assume the way they present themselves is the way they earned it.
      Just because a successful person is running a bakery doesn't mean they became successful because of the bakery.
      This is why you see a lot of 'charismatic'people with no charisma. They didn't get the money appealing to people. They got the money and then got on the stage.

      @@Bethany9513 No, you're definitely right.
      I'm doing my master in biology and while we don't get a ton of input on public speaking, it is a very important part you have to learn. You have to hold a lot of 20-30 min long talks completely in English (not being a native speaker), where you have to present really complex topics without glossing over important details, overexplaining/underexplaining or making it too flat. All while having to capture the interest of both other master students (who are almost completely new to that specific topic) and the professor (who read that paper more than once already).
      But when you actually want to convey information, not just emotion, you have to talk completely differently.
      We are always reminded to leave pauses so people can process what they heard. These guys talk way too quickly, and also with too loud of a voice, so that listening is not easy. The reason is probably that they don't want you to think too long about what they're actually saying. You're supposed to focus on the emotion and get swept up in it.
      If you printed every word they say on paper and read it at home, you'd not get much out of it.
      If you did it with any good scientific talk, you'd definitely still enjoy it and learn a lot.

    • @molluscumlore
      @molluscumlore 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      At the very least it's all the same cadence. Like I could see how someone who either isn't used to it or is too used to it could be drawn in, but I grew up agnostic in the rural southern US. That shit activates my fight or flight. My public school would always have youth pastors or pastor-adjacent speakers speaking at assemblies and do it a few times a year. It was always a terrible experience, and often a bit scary because it's some guy in your non-religious school yelling at you about jesus and heaven and hell and shit and I just wanna go back to geometry.
      And of course debate-bros and evangelizers also use the same cadence when they're trying to "argue" (gish gallop) and exist outside of school assemblies. Makes me empathize with stereotypical jock bullies in 90's movies because nothing makes you want to shove a nerd into a locker more than a nerd who won't shut the fuck up and let you process information

    An anti-scam/anti-MLM youtuber has talked about having attended and worked backstage at events like this. She explained the reason they make them so long and only put their most popular speakers on at the very beginning and at the very end of the event is so that the middle can be filled with a bunch of snake oil salespeople, 'course' peddlers and all round scammers that paid the organisers to be featured (that's how the organisers make money from this event). You need to sit through their 'inspirational' talks if you want to get to your favourite act and the organisers often don't allow you to leave and come back to avoid you only showing up in the morning and in the evening. And at the end of the day when you're tired out of your mind or maybe even a bit pumped from some of these people telling you to "JUST DO IT!", you are more susceptible to sales pitches, so they swoop in and get you to sign up for some bullshit course.

      A big part of it is just the atmosphere, it tricks attendees into thinking that they're getting more out of it then they really are. You might be sitting there excitedly hanging on their every word but then once you leave and actually start thinking about what they told you, you realize that its incredibly vacuous. They're hoping that by that point in time you've invested so much time, energy, and money into it that you will resist that realization and insist that you did get something out of it.

      He's mixing up the concept that being close with people means vulnerability, and it's vulnerable to not have someone in your line of sight. So it's the idea of being selective with who you're close enough to that no one who would abuse it is able to hurt you where you're vulnerable.
      On its own, that ends up being solid advice, but motivation-bros turn it into justifying an echo chamber. If people aren't supporting your dreams (aka if they question whether what you're doing is healthy/fiscally-wise/legal), they're in your way and you don't need that in your life.

    I can tell you why the event started at 7 am and went all day, because you can not keep up your critical thinking skills, if you are sleep deprived and/or have been paying attention for hours on end. You not getting an iternerary is to keep you there all day and to take away your control over your schedule at the event.
    The speakers didn't ask the audience to clap for their own benefit, but for the psychological effect. Even when you know you are told to clap, subconsciously you will absorb everyone else clapping and get the impression everyone else is impressed.
    This event has it all, in-group out-group thinking, rules don't apply to us, inducing fomo etc etc. As someone who is interested in cult manipulation tactics, because they were once used on me, I would have had a field day there with the BITE model in hand ticking a good amount of the boxes.
    Oh an fun fact: These "very successfull" speakers being horrible to listen to is part of it too.

    The one thing I've definitely learned from going down the proverbial rabbit hole of motivational classes/events is that if there's a permanent discount, it's not a discount. That's just the price, and they're trying to manipulate people's psychology into thinking they have to act fast to get the 'deal,' or that they actually saved money by spending money. That somehow they got in while the getting was good and are special or savvy somehow. It's a con. The last one I encountered wasn't even discounted. They just hid their regular prices from public view and then claimed it was a 60% discount when it wasn't discounted at all. They literally pitched it as "our New Year's gift to you" when all they did was hand people an empty box and charge them for the wrapping paper. Another one I've seen is the "introductory" half-off flash sale for a new course that makes it seem like it's way more expensive than it actually is when the 'sale' price is already way overpriced compared to the value you get from it, and the sale never actually ends. So this event's "sale" on ticket prices is a big ol' red flag to me.

    A speaker/performer calls for applause as an energy-meter tactic. Any talk of >10 minutes is a long one for an audience to be parked in their seats for; and a smart speaker puts little "energy/ engagement checks" into his talk at intervals, to know when to push and when to ride the energy that's already there. Sometime, when you're at one of these kind of events, watch only the crowd instead; it's a good learning experience.
