    On Today's Episode:
    Human behavior even when it seems to be erratic is predictable. In fact, CIA super spy, Andrew Bustamante says “humans are laughably predictable.” If this is true, then why do you struggle with relationships and achieving our desired outcomes?
    Former CIA intelligence officer, Andrew Bustamante teaches spy hacks to help people get the ultimate advantage in business and life. The CIA taught Andrew a better way of explaining what reality actually is; he now demonstrates how espionage shapes life for everyday people like you.
    This interview covers some really interesting areas of human psychology that you may be aware of but haven’t fully connected the dots on. People are motivated to survive with given resources, and learning how their motivations shape their drive and personality puts you in control of your relationships and the opportunities you decide to move on.
    Key topics Andrew touches on in this episode:
    -The 3 lives everyone lives but not everyone admits to
    -Why the people ultimately self-destruct
    -How the new world power transition plays out over the next 10 years
    -The bloodless war in China to keep your eye on
    -Foreign power influence in US elections

    Mao: The Unknown Story by Jung Chang, Jon Halliday, et al
    The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn
    Red Famine: Stalin’s War on Ukraine by Anne Applebaum, Suzanne Toren, et al
    QUOTES:
    “What CIA taught me was a better way of explaining what reality actually is, and the reality is that 98 percent of human beings are trapped in their own perception, so the two percent that live in the real world that have perspective, they are able to manipulate the perception of everybody else.”
    “It’s how you use another human’s predictability that defines whether you typecast as hero or villain.”
    “The more a person’s resources are depleted, the closer they get to their true Myers-Briggs personality.”
    “Questions are always being asked by the person in control of the conversation.”
    “Confidence is a perception, not a real thing. Confidence is how you perceive your own emotional reaction or your own emotional relationship with the environment around you.”
    “We are hardwired to survive, we are not wired to thrive.”

      Love this guy, he must come back! I'd like to ask him about 2016. He's right it wasn't the first time Russia interfered or any other country. What was shocking to Americans was that the CIA, FBI, and other intelligence agencies across the world ALSO INTERFERED in our elections along with the previous President. How about we talk about that? The CIA literally assisted to set up a political candidate/President.

      Yes, he's doing that, and if you met this CIA agent in a little bar in Irkutsk or Morocco or Putney you would like him so much because he's a good listener, and listens to you talk on and on, and has a great sudden throaty but-not-too-overdone laugh, and is modest about himself: 'Not a master of anything really' but still interesting and can talk about interesting things, very intelligent but doesn't show off with big words, very good at explaining concepts, has helpful practical suggestions about your current work problems. By the third beer you're calling your partner: 'I've met this great guy is it okay if I bring him home for dinner?'. He is disarming you in the bar, and disarming you here! He is highly-trained in being likeable. I liked him very much too!

    I grew up with a CIA agent and never knew it, in fact nobody did, not even my grandmother who was married to him. My step-grandfather was always going on “business trips” to Asia but it was all public/secret life. My grandmother was given a flag and a handshake after she buried her husband and that’s when she learned her husband was CIA. He was also one of the heaviest drinkers I’ve ever know, which is surprising that it never came out.

    He’s right about people with high anxiety being the best spies. It makes you highly aware of your environment & surroundings. You’re observing a higher percentage of reality than those who don’t suffer from anxiety. You also pick up on more social cues. In psychology people with high anxiety tend to feel more like an observer than an actual participant in the world. I see and perceive a larger amount of truth whilst observing reality than the majority of people I’ve met. It makes you feel alone. Mix that high anxiety with OCD or high attention to detail including a vast array of life/social experiences and you get a human lie detector super spy. Lonely existence of substance abuse in a world where hardly anyone is authentic or genuine anymore.

      Are you confusing the Soviet KGB with the CIA ? The CIA can't utilize an agent anymore if that agent has an expired secret security clearance, but Vladimir Putin says that there is no such thing as an ex-KGB agent. There are plenty of people who were "shunned" from the CIA and who were retired early and were never contacted by the CIA ever again after they were forced into early retirement.

    0:05:00 is the end of Bustamante's explanation that only about 2% of us control everyone else because that 2% has perspective. Tom then asks for bullet points for some kind of framework to understand other people: Public life, private life, and secret life.
    0:08:45 Objective in "spy mode" is to penetrate into the private life, and penetrating the secret life gives you permanent access.
    0:11:00 "Human Intelligence" or "Humint" as the answer to Tom's question about how to get into someone's secret life.
    0:12:10 The three periods of development, "the sponge", birth to 7 years old, then absorbing but "having preferences" to 13, and third, outright rejecting some stuff to 25.
    0:15:20 How people are after 25 years old, the end of the "generalized dossier".
    0:16:40 Tom asks Andrew if he took classes and Andrew explains compartmentalization and specialization within the CIA.
    0:18:35 "the bump", just bumping into "laughably predictable" people according to the design of the CIA after analysing the general and detailed dossiers.
    0:20:00 Use of the Myers Briggs personality scale.
    0:21:20 Tom uses "secret" instead of "private" and Andrew didn't correct him. I would argue there really isn't any secret personality, because it's secret (not just "private"), asking how to get into somone's secret life.
    0:22:45 Andrew explains the three resources CIA works on systematically draining so that their true Myers Briggs personality comes out which you can then mirror to become their confidante.
    0:25:00 Andrew explains that questions are always asked by the person in control.
    0:26:00 Tom uses the "This is water" quote from David Foster Wallace regarding one's frame of reference.
    0:27:30 "People have exchanged what worked for what sounds good." (Thomas Sowell)
    0:29:00 Tom asks Andrew how much of Andrew's (consultant) work is getting people to solidify the specifics and how much is basically just playing by ear?
    0:31:00 Are there universal questions that get people to reveal themselves? "When was the last time you were offended?" is Tom's answer.
    0:33:15 "How would you plan your ideal vacation?" is Andrew's answer and he explains why ("four temperments, lions, foxes, cheetahs, and bears"). He explains that these four types are required for a high performance team.
    0:38:50 "How do you organize your closet?" is Tom's answer for what Andrew is talking about.
    0:39:35 How Andrew and his wife deal with their relationship and the psychological aspects of the job.
    0:41:00 Andrew explains the concept of the "thousand personalities" and how it's useful to choose between them.
    0:43:30 "Remember who you are" as a tool for controlling your own mind.
    0:44:30 Andrew explains the value of accepting your three developmental (0-7, 7-13, 13-25) personalities.
    0:50:00 Andrew explains why he shouldn't have gone into the military.
    0:51:10 Andrew explains that the "right amount" of childhood trauma can make you a high achiever, as the CIA teaches.
    0:53:00 "How will you handle your kids' turning 18" and "What do you mean by 'legacy'?"
    0:55:20 Andrew asks "Do I create the trauma that will make my kids high achievers?" and wrestles with the answer, showing some healthy introspection.
    0:57:00 Tom provides his solution to this question: Evolution forces us to work hard to attain skills to serve yourself and others. "The only thing that matters is how you feel about yourself when you're by yourself."
    0:59:25 Tom explains the one trick: Decide what you will value/respect yourself for. And don't pick achievement because it's too fickle, but picking the effort is great because you can always make the effort.

Many yrs ago, my little short haired blk and tan mini doxy started having violent seizures every month. We took him to vet aftervet and they gave him meds that didn't help. I changed his diet, changed his water, and nothing helped. Sometimes the seizures were so bad he almost died, and we had to rush him to the vets to save his little life. I always cried and prayed when he had these seizures, because it hurt me so deeply to see my baby suffer so bad. Well, about a yr ago, my husband and I were sitting here in our living room and we heard his cell ph make a strange, hi pitched but quiet noise it never made for any reason, and IMMEDIATELY my dog started having seizures! I have been targeted over 30 yrs and never thought that the sick freaks could be deliberately CAUSING the seizures, BUT THEY WERE! I couldn't believe that someone could be so heartless and cruel that they could do such a horrific thing to a helpless little dog!! But they DID! The seizures stopped that day, and a week later my babydog went BLIND. I was heartbroken AGAIN, to see my bay walk into walls, fall down stairs (till we blocked them) and get lost behind a door or the couch!! HEART BREAKING!! His little organs swelled up inside of his belly, and the vet said it was his pancreas. My baby got very sick a couple weeks before Thanksgiving. He was vomitting, had the runs, and refused to eat for me. He was being SHOCKED every hour, night and day, and neither of us could get much sleep. I busted agents AGAIN, using the speakers on this PC to put out FREQUENCIES, hurting my little boy! I unplugged the speakers and then busted them again, using the built in speakers to emit these dangerous frequencies!! I shut down the pc and could still hear a high pitched whine coming directly from the MONARCH TOWER LLC across the street! My baby got so sick he couldn't even lift up his little head anymore and he died in my arms THANKSGIVING DAY about 4pm. I AM HEARTBROKEN and I miss my babydog terribly! THE SICK FREAKS TORTURED AND KILLED HIM just as the had the three prior to him before I realized what they were doing to us!! They are doing these horrific things to HURT US. They are sick satanist freaks who ENJOY hurting helpless, innocent people and animals that cannot defend themselves! Let me also say that they tested other bioweapons on us as well, which cost the life of my longhaired doxy, and nearly cost my life as well, a couple yrs ago. The sick freaks have put nanotech systems in the shots, masks, tests and swabs, and then using the towers to manipulate and control those systems inside the victims. They are also CAUSING inf, disease, organ damage and death w frequencies! WATCH YOUR DEVICES and keep vol low or off and never sleep near any devices!! These sick freaks MUST be stopped! They are deliberately killing us and our loved ones. This is ALL deliberate!

    Also CIA "compartmentalizing," while very efficient means that none of the operatives know exactly what the the overall endgame is.

    I think it’s so interesting that the host thought his job interview question “when was the last time you were offended?” was such a great & insightful one. It says far more about the host/interviewer than it does about the potential employee. It’s not hard to assume who and what type of person that question caters to…. and if I were asked that question in a job interview, I’d be curious as to what unfortunate incident prompted it, and then would have doubts about bosses moral integrity, level of self-awareness, and ability to think big picture

    I really connected with the part of the conversation when you were discussing parenting styles. I am not a parent & never will be, my brother is likely in that position too, and one of my sisters two sons died a few months ago before he was 35 years old. Our parents have been there for all of us, helping us through whatever is going on whether they know what to do or not. My sister and I are high achievers within our own context, and our brother is too though he has a specific mental condition that severely limits his options. Thanks to this discussion I begun to understand how each of us evolved though each of us got "favored" treatment in our unique ways. I also learned a lot about interacting with each of them, and about myself. Wow!

    As a parent of grown kids who are all high achievers. I can tell you that trauma or difficulties in childhood does not need to be created! Trauma always happens even when you try to protect them. My husband was laid off from his corporate job, during their childhood. The family had to cut back, we did not have extra money to spend on vacations or extra curricular activities. Even though we tried to keep life at an even keel…it was stressful and it affected our kids..they all went to college and got masters. Specifically to get enough education to avoid a lapse in work…

In this one specific instance. I was hit hardest I've ever been hit. It was a deadly blow. Versus not self destructing and simply changing course or making different decisions to possible alter outcomes.

      It’s not CIA…right now there’s this push for including AI in the workspace, AI to be used for research by an individual, so not just automation but to integrate AI more into helping people with their everyday lives. But your well known guys in the same field that has advanced AI are a little reluctant to rollout this kind of technology, knowing that it can be abused if placed in the wrong hands. THEY CAN BE USED TO SPY ON CITIZENS AND TAKE AWAY THEIR RIGHTS TO PRIVACY AND BE AFRAID TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Anybody can be labeled a “potential” criminal and alas driven to do a crime, which I think right now no one is that smart to drive someone in that direction yet. Look at this guy and see that it’s his job to study you as an outside entity and basically infiltrate your livelihood. This is a crime against humanity. Everyone is being programmed to be dumber also. Your attention span is shorter with all the new stupid fads like tik tok and shorter videos, that you’ll miss out on reading the important stuff or grasp a better understanding by reading the newspaper.

    The single most pertinent piece of info for me was the correlation between trauma and aptitude for achievement. In my case I guess I got a little too much trauma - but it still gives me motivation for my recovery. Take away the drugs and success is indeed probable. But perspective is important - it's not all about financial success. If an individual life is represented as a square then success, balance, and growth need to occur in each of the four areas: spiritual, physical, work (hopefully aligned with vision and impact), and family and relationships.

Andrew is so articulate and demonstrates his ideas in a way that makes you want to trust him and believe him. It’s wild seeing how skilled he is even on camera. You can see him analyzing as he speaks but he softened his perceived intensity by the way he controls his voice intonation and his mannerisms. Very interesting to see

    A CIA agent that has green light to speak of CIA methodology in public, must by definition have some deeper motive defined by his employer. Humans are laughably predictable.

    • @terrytyang
      @terrytyang Před 9 měsíci +7

      Just because he may have worked for the CIA, does not make him an "agent". On observing how he seem loves to talk, (which suggests an underlying desire to seek approval ), I doubt he could be evaluated as trustworthy enough to have been ever allowed to get anywhere near real "secrets". Chances are, he was just one of the drones, hired for some menial paper pushing position, but gained a grandiose view of himself in the process.

    • @christopherjohnson769

      While I could be wrong? Unlike terrytyang I agree with you 100%, some hidden agenda, projecting an idea or opinion that they want people to believe, or something along those lines is most likely what the motive is here? Or he was never really cia and is just making stuff up? I thought the cia was like a gang, blood in blood out, and the only way to truly leave is in a body bag? Another bob lazar or eric snowden type, where they are the 1st and only people allowed to go on tour whistle blowing? But they never let any real cats out of the bag or reveal anything we didnt know, while supporting and reaffirming the narrative the people they work for have already given us and want us to believe. Or this is the left hand they have us busy watching so we dont notice what the right hand is doing?? JMO and the vibes Im getting?

    I like his intellectual objectivity so much. Saw comments on another video he wasn’t even in calling him fake and some in other videos saying oh CIA talking points. If these were the talking points CIA wanted us to have those commenters clearly wouldn’t know how fucking good they had it. Finding him fake is the expectation of bias, so the lack of insight in that alone suggests projection and not too bright. Good interview.

    So if he’s been allowed to spread this information of the CIA and their training/tactics, he’s still an asset of some kind and this is pretty basic manipulation tactics. They won’t let him divulge information that they themselves don’t want being spread. If he was to slip up and say something that wasn’t approved, he’d be of no use as a current or even former operative. Maybe I’m wrong?

      To be honest, if you ever research into politics, government, and have watched political videos for a decade or more, you'll start to figure out patterns, strategies, psychology, and layers upon layers of different timelines, probabilities, predictions, and so on. It's kind of like experiencing a timelines that's different than what you envisioned it to be.
      This is why I'm into time traveling because of the complications, consequences, and even alternative methods that you can experience or do in the past, present, and future. Heck, I would love to travel back in time to experience what the actual truth was, instead of just an organization assuming this is what they can conclusively find. Whereas if I went back in time to the 1940s nazi germany, and be undercover for a good few years and keep track of every person; I guarantee you there will be a few thousand that have been missed or destroyed during the war that the future could have known about, but wasn't able to due to some records destroyed. Or even prevent hitler from shooting himself and teleport him to America to face charges and even speak on the radio of what he has done to the world. Imagine that actually happening in our grandparent's timeframe where Hitler was arrested because of you the time traveller prevented him from killing himself with a pistol....
      So for this, it merely comes down to, What do you wish or want to do on this planet that you would like to leave behind for your future generations to know about you before and after you pass on into the afterlife? In other words, what do you want people to think of you when your name comes up in their conversations? That to me is what's important. And the Yin Yang symbol represents the perfect balance of light vs. dark, good and evil, happiness and depression. If too much of one side becomes the norm, the other side becomes traumatic and harsh to the utopias of the light side. Same thing with the dark, if there's too much depression, hatred, and hopelessness, then happiness and joy would cease to exist unless change can occur to make it equally balanced...Again, as I mentioned before, life has to be equally balanced, never tipped to one side or the other.
      And most of all, get out of the left wing vs. right wing politics and games, it's not worth it in your life or in the end, even if things get worse or better than the group you devoted yourself to join in the first place.
