(Click for larger view) Living Sensical   A Manifesto About 5% of the population know for a fact that the world is filled with endless opportunities and that a person can be and have whatever they want, by learning what they need to know from freely available sources. The other 95% don t believe it and work to make sure no one else does either.  What you believe is your choice. It always has been, always will be.   You ve never been trained how to think rationally. Instead, you ve been emotionally mis-programmed to have knee-jerk reactions. That allows you to remain a wage-slave   and sold just about anything.   Your diet has been filled with mass-produced  food stuffs that are causing more diseases instead of maintaining consistent good health.   Conventional business is consistently promoted based on short-cuts, which are based on deceptive economic theory. People are taught to chase money as an object instead of increasing the value of produced goods and so, their exchange value. The result: 1% of our population controls 90% of the wealth.   Most people go to work at jobs they hate, with no secure retirement, living in fear of being fired. People should love what they do and do what they love   but have no clue how to leave the rat-race treadmill they are on.   Routes to resolve the above are well booby-trapped. Each of these influence the others directly, so attempting to solve one without the others usually ends poorly.   Powerful tools that could solve these problems have been also the most discredited. The problems embedded at the level of just making a living and staying alive have kept people from even seeing these tools, much less putting them to work at finding solutions.   Sound familiar? Read on  The biggest problem you have stems from what you haven t been taught.   It s not on any curriculum in any school   I don t know that it ever has been.   The government ignores this, but talks about it all the time.   Several authors through history have written books with this in the title, but never get around to actually defining it for anyone.   It s said that it s something you learn when growing up   but ask your parents about this and you ll get a blank look.   Practically, this is harder to talk about than sex   and there aren t even any scandalous magazines printed about it.   Yet everyone can do this. Everyone can practice this. Everyone can learn how to improve their skills with this.   This is probably the first time a simple explanation for this hidden subject has been put into words, let alone print: Sensical (Sensible,  Makes Sense ) is where Emotional thought agrees with Rational thought. If you read nothing further, I ve done my job here. Take that definition and test it for yourself. When you can emotionally  get behind  something, and it is the logical  thing to do    then it s a sensible action to take. You ll find that you will do sensical/sensible things and not do non-sensical things (unless you are a comedian, or a politician. Comedians who become politicians, well ) The point of this book is:   Accept all data conditionally   test everything you hear, read, or experience.

Living Sensical   A Manifesto   Robert C. Worstell

https://livesensical.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/ScamFreeLesson010001.mp4 1. What is a scam? Some Ground Rules of Life. I ve been there, done that   and now I ve been hard at work writing this up so you don t have to. But this isn t a book about the various scams that had me on their dirty end. Just take my  crib notes  from the School of Hard Knocks. Here are some basic rules of the scammer universe:   Scams are all around you as well as successes   you just have to take advantage of your real opportunities.   Nothing around you is permanent, you have to constantly create and and then build on any success you make for yourself. The only constant is change.   Most people are wired to be successful. Scammers are wired to find fast-profit, doomed shortcuts.   Only as you give is exactly how you get. This Golden Rule is inexorable   works all the time, whether you believe it or not. And you have to give first.   Educate yourself and learn how to learn. Learn from everything and everyone that comes into your life. Scammers prey on the naive.   Just be yourself   that s the best advice anyone can give you.   Putting these rules to use in your own life Let s take these apart and see how you can use these to get your own life scam-free. Scams are all around you as well as successes   you just have to take advantage of your real opportunities. A scam is getting an unexpected result. Mostly it involves paying out time or money or both and getting little or nothing back. Life goes on around you, regardless of what you think of it. Even if you know something is a scam, it doesn t make it stop. Sure, if you get enough people together, you can force those scammers to move on   but you can t get them to stop being scammers. That s up to them. And it s a personal choice   just like you choose to be honest. No one can force a person to be honest. They have to decide that it s better for them to be that way. The point of this book is to educate you so that you no longer have to be the unwilling effect of scammers. And that means government scams, Internet coaching scams, phishing scams, etc. You also have to see that your successes are just as real. And it s actually easier to be a success than it is to keep a scam going. Statistically, it proves out. Look for the real opportunities, take advantage of them, and enjoy your own success. Nothing around you is permanent, you have to constantly create and and then build on any success you make for yourself. The only constant is change. More than likely, you ve already observed this fact. Especially in this age of Internet speed-up, changes happen quickly and routinely. If you look closer at Nature, you ll see that this is the same phenomenon at work. Nature is always changing, even though some parts of it appear to remain the same. Trees are there almost as long as rocks. But if you really look closely, you ll see them change from year to year. And on a much shorter life-span, the grasses grow and die every year, and will change the diversity of the plants in any field with some variation every single year. Insects live out their entire lifespan within a single year and often within a few months. Birds live a bit longer, up to the larger mammals which can live a century or so. But none of these are exactly the same from year to year. Your own success is dependent on change. Money in your bank account isn t the same from month to month, and the banks and lending institutions change their interest rate more quickly now than ever. What is constant is your own ability to create right now in the present moment. And that is what really determines your own success. Scammers are accidents waiting to happen for anyone who touches their lines. But you aren t stuck to any accident or mistake you made. So stumbling across a person who is intent on their own personal profit isn t something you have to live with for the rest of your life. Just change what you are doing in the present and move on. Most people are wired to be successful. Scammers are wired to find fast-profit, doomed shortcuts. The upbringing most of us had was to follow the rules and live an honest life. What makes genius is the link these people have to inspiration so that they can see where a rule needs to be bent or broken to achieve a better result. Geniuses make things better through creative thought and action. Scammers see rules as something in their way. If they can  make more money  bending or breaking a rule, then they can live with the result they get. These guys are the original  get rich quick  addicts. It s how they are wired. Everything is me, me, me. Creative geniuses work for the greater good. Scammers are in it for themselves. Two opposing ends of the scale. Making and keeping money is hard work. Even the best often go broke several times and can wind up bankrupt in a borrowed death-bed. Because when you only work for money you aren t working for building and giving value, you are simply working to maintain a facade. Money is only a fictitious symbol, not the real thing. Your family, your true friends, those people who trust you   those are the value you have in your life. All the people you have helped as you lived your life. And when you push and strive to constantly create and distribute value to everyone around you, there is no problem maintaining a valuable life style. Only as you give is exactly how you get. This Golden Rule is inexorable   works all the time, whether you believe it or not. And you have to give first. There is one natural social law, that you can prove for yourself. Whatever you give out is what you ll get back. Just like gravity, if you drop something with weight, it will go down until it hits something else. The Golden Rule is the same. Unbreakable, no matter how hard you try. Where people think they can get away from it is where they actually just don t want to look at what they are doing to create their own surrounding world. If you go around being critical of people, you will wind up with a lot of critical people around you. Be angry and everyone you know will be angry when you see them. Be charitable, forgiving, honest   and everyone will respond in kind. Now, your returns aren t exact. Some people are working at being critical, angry, or selfish because they haven t yet realized this natural law. So they will continue to try to criticize you, make you angry, or withhold stuff that they could simply give you. But as you continue to treat them as you like to be treated, they will simply start to change their life around for the better. You may have to look harder, but the change is there, regardless. It s that point of  turning the other cheek  which will get their attention. Sure, this takes faith in humankind, but as you test this for yourself, you ll see that this is exactly how the Universe operates. Simply acting to give value to everyone you meet will get value in return to you. Educate yourself and learn how to learn. Learn from everything and everyone that comes into your life. Scammers prey on the naive. Life is said to be full of lessons. And luck has been defined as being prepared for opportunities and then taking advantage of them as they show up. Where people don t look for the lessons, or opportunities, they can live quite miserable lives. That is the pessimist at work. And to some degree, we most all have some pessimism which we have been taught and accepted in our lives. But scammers only work by preying on the naive and those who won t learn. These are known as  stupid . But factually, they aren t   unless they refuse to learn. Scammers usually have to take advantage of someone who is uninformed and then will move on to other people they have found. Because people learn from scammers and don t make the same mistake twice. Now, it might take a bit to wise up that they aren t giving you anything of value. Some (like Bernie Madoff) run elaborate schemes and continue to lie and deceive as they go. So it takes a while to get wise to them. Living is learning. Too simple. Look for lessons in everything you run across and do. This way you can constantly improve your life. All  mistakes  or  bad judgments  are temporary situations. Most successes had a string of  failures  that they had to learn from before they made it big. Getting scammed isn t the end of the world. It s simply another lesson to learn. Scammers set up their systems based on naive lack of understanding. Look, listen, learn. Just be yourself   that s the best advice anyone can give you. There is nothing better than having your own personal integrity intact. Integrity isn t something handed you at birth. It s a quality which you build in yourself, and it s what self-esteem is based on. You know that you know what you know. And you know why it is that way. Because you ve lived life and learned as you went. You know that when you treat people fairly, you will get fair treatment in return. If you don t, then you have recourse. But it isn t getting revenge or  getting even.  It s more that you have additional lessons to learn and to teach in return. But being yourself is the best way to live life. And those who life a scammers  life will go nuts trying to figure out why you are acting the way you do. They just can t understand that mind-set. Personal integrity is like that old phrase,  Smile   it makes your enemies wonder what you ve been up to.  And the joke is always on them. How you got into this mess   you aren t as stupid as they make you feel. With 95 percent of our thinking controlled by our subconscious, it s no surprise that Madison Avenue has made their living figuring out the emotional triggers which get us to act on their sales pitches. And that certainly applies to telemarketers. While we could (and probably should) go over the ethical application of these materials, what we have to take up first is this: It s not your fault that you ve been a patsy   especially to telemarketers. Like they can see that big bulls-eye painted on your forehead when they talk at you. Even though they can t see your face, they really can tell exactly what your response is going to be about 95% of the time. Because most people only really act after they have been automatically triggered. And good telemarketer pitch-people know exactly what  buttons  to push which will get you to act. That s what their bonuses depend on. There are three people who have studied and published quite broadly on the subject of human motivation. Cialdini, Maslow, and Levenson. Let s next take each of these up in turn, and I ll spend a bit more time on how you can defend against your own subconscious triggers.
