Chase Hughes: The 3 "Dark Psychology" Tricks To Read Anyone's Mind!

This is how social media starts roping

you in. This is how politics starts

roping you in. This is how cult leaders

will recruit you into a cult. It's the

number one way that we influence another

human being. Micro compliance. And

hypnosis is a great example of this.

Like I can have a person laying on the

floor unconscious in maybe a minute and

a half. And it's very easy to do.

Anybody can learn to do it. But one of

the things you'll see me do at the

beginning of that is like give me your

hand, put both hands out like this, and

then flip them over. You look all the

way up and look all the way down. I make

them do like 50 things. None of the

things that I just did with them are

meaningful. Everything was micro

compliance. And you don't realize that

you're going through massive amount of

compliance in order to get your behavior

to change or influence another human

being. Use what works for brainwashing

because our brains have not developed

one more wrinkle in the last 200,000

years. So a regular example of this is

novelty. Anything novel hijacks our

brain. So if you're trying to change

your beliefs or you want to lose this

weight, change something up in your

life, change your wardrobe, repaint the

walls in your office, you need to tell

the animal part of our brain here

because this has been proven on fMRI

studies that the decision shows up

before we're conscious of it. What about

humanto human skills? So people are

starving to have great conversations

that are very influential, which means

that if I'm an attorney, I can sway a

jury. If I'm a hostage negotiator, I

save people's lives. If I'm a parent, I

raise better kids because I can

communicate in a way that gets the

outcome that I'm looking for. And you

can do that with any of these techniques

like negative dissociation, the

childhood development triangle. There's

this thing called the PCP model. And

when it comes to influencing human

beings, that is the most important thing

that you could ever understand.

>> That might just be the most important

skill in the world. So, let's do some

role playing.

>> All right,

guys. I've got a quick favor to ask you.

We're approaching a significant

subscriber milestone on this show. And

roughly 69% of you that listen and love

this show haven't yet subscribed for

whatever reason. If there was ever a

time for you to do us a favor, if we've

ever done anything for you, giving you

value in any way, it is simply hitting

that subscribe button. And it means so

much to myself, but also to my team

because when we hit these milestones, we

go away as a team and celebrate. And

it's the thing, the simple, free, easy

thing you can do to help make this show

a little bit better every single week.

So that's a favor I would ask you. And

um if you do hit the subscribe button, I

won't let you down. And we'll continue

to find small ways to make this whole

production better. Thank you so much for

being part of this journey. Means the

world. And uh yeah, let's do this.

Chase, the world is changing rapidly

before our eyes on so many fronts in

terms of geopolitics, but also in terms

of technology with this whole AI thing

that's rapidly accelerating. And with

that, you've got things like robotics

that are on the way and Elon Musk saying

that we'll have 10 billion humanoid

robots in the world in the future. And

these are going to be intelligent robots

because the software within them is now

artificial and it's incredibly

intelligent. One of the things people

say to me a lot is in a world where

we're going to have all this

intelligence, what jobs are going to

remain? And one of the points of

consensus from interviewing all these

great AI experts is that human skills,

any skills that are irreplaceably human,

social skills, people skills are going

to be of extreme value. You spend a lot

of time teaching people these skills. I

asked you a question just before we

started recording. The question I asked

you is, what is the thing you like

talking about the most that you think

adds the most value to people? What did

you say? helping people understand how

to guide human decision and and have

great conversations that are very

influential.

>> What does that mean in in real specific

practical terms?

>> It means that if we are in a

conversation, I become more likely to

help you achieve the outcome that I see

for you. So, if I'm a leader, then I can

do that. If I'm an attorney, I can sway

a jury. I can make a jury pick a certain

decision. If I'm a hostage negotiator, I

save people's lives. If I'm a parent, I

raise better kids because I I can

communicate in a way that gets the

outcome that I'm looking for from

another person. That might just be the

most important skill in the world. I

think it is increasingly so in a world

of AI where computers are going to be

able to handle a lot of the sort of

intelligent white collar related stuff

for us and we're going to be rendered

useful only for that which humans can

do, which is probably this stuff.

>> Yeah. the IRL in real life, humanto

human stuff.

>> And I think people are starving for it.

You've got a podcast that's

non-performative

and people are attracted to realism.

There's so much that's artificial and

performative that people are starving

for realism already. And this is pre-

AI. This was starting to blow up because

it just gave us a sense of something

that was real. We are in a epidemic

right now of loneliness where people are

disconnected from each other and these

human skills are going to matter more

than ever as AI comes out. I

>> I was thinking about what you teach in

terms of human behavior and getting the

best out of people and influencing

people to do what you want them to do.

And um AI does a lot of that.

>> It does. It seems like it's been

programmed to understand human behavior

and to get me to like it. So let's get

into some of that human behavior that

you think is critical in a world of AI.

In a world of AI, if the skills that

matter the most are humanto human

skills,

where does one where does one begin?

Let's understand humans first. Like how

could AI compromise a person? And when

it comes to influencing human beings,

the most important thing that you could

ever understand, whether you're a CEO, a

mom, or dad, is this thing called the

PCP model. And PCP is a three-step

cascade that happens inside the human

brain when we get influenced. Whether

we're doing something massively extreme

like some manurian candidate type stuff

or we we're just having a sales call and

we we make a sale. Everything goes

through PCP. So P is perception.

So the first step to really changing

somebody's outcome, getting you to make

a decision later on is to change how

you're viewing this situation.

So when people talk about owning the

frame of a situation or redefining what

a situation means right there is

changing the perception of it. If we're

just talking about AI AI can say yes uh

Stephen I see what you mean and I can

see why you're frustrated and you know

one of those like standard responses

but here's what's here's what this is

really about and it gives you this layer

that makes you say oh [ __ ] like this is

it's going deep. So now it's hit the P

on the PCP model. So it's modified your

perception of a situation. And how has

it specifically done that there? Is it

because it's acknowledged my point of

view but then given a new one?

>> Yes.
