    So here's the thing: By his own admission, he was trained to lie. He also explains that they recruited him because he was ALREADY a liar *by nature*, and the CIA made him even better at lying. Which, honestly, makes me wonder how much of what he says is even true...

    I am a clinically trained psychologist and a somatic therapist. I literally lead trauma trainings on following your gut. His type of training of ignoring your gut, and using the head, is perhaps effective in the field, but disembodies the self, separates the mind and body process. It creates the process loop in the cycle where the brain is always used to control emotions. What happens when the brain is taxed (multiple layers of stress - children, business, or physical injury or illness) beyond it's ability to control is that they cannot disembody their own painful emotions anymore, and all the pain he's repressed FLOODS back to the system and creates severe depression. This kind of training is exactly why soldiers have high alcoholism and suicide rates. I would HIGHLY NOT recommend this.

      As far as I'm concerned, this guy still works for the CIA if he is teaching you not to trust your gut. If he's telling you to trust your mind and only your mind, then he is an operative. The reason I say that is because the mind can be controlled by entities outside of yourself. Your instincts, your intuition, cannot. Your thoughts can lie to you. Your gut never will.

      You have a heart and mind laying around, you might as well use both. Governments don't need secrets, they need transparency especially when we go out to vote. It seems that everyone ignores this for some strange reason and just puts their votes into machines as if that is transparent or something.

    BTW- I don’t agree with not listening to your gut. I was an ER Nurse for some years and if I didn’t listen to my gut then I think some people would have been dead because of it. I was also a Hospice nurse. I woke up in the morning and my gut told me to go to the right person’s home that morning because they needed my help first. All emotional but in the medical field, our work is an Art and a science. Gut plays a part. 😊

    • @handlesareweird
      @handlesareweird Před 4 dny +5

      I think you're right to a degree, but are not taking certain things into consideration. Your 'gut instinct' was honed from lots of good experience in your field, so maybe some people's gut instincts work better than others, and in certain respects. I've learnt a lot in my life to not trust my gut, so my experience is different to yours and it blew me away that this guy said exactly what I've personally realised is true in my own life.
      Also, as a sidenote: my dad used to be the CEO of a hospice branch in South Africa, and I found hospice to be one of the most amazing health groups that doesn't get nearly as much credit as it should, and so much of that credit was the wonderful gentle care provided by the nurses :D

    • @darkwolf7645
      @darkwolf7645 Před 3 dny +4

      He worded it poorly. It's not distrusting your gut, it's forming unbiased opinions from observations. It's a basic analytic skill used by intelligence professionals. Analysts use their gut all the time. Why? Because your "gut" gives you a "feeling" based off prior observations. If something feels off, that's a reason to dig deeper or focus more. All of this while maintaining an unbiased eye.

    The not listening to your gut bit, he was saying this is how you understand all of your options. This is a tool to help you make the most informed decisions for yourself so you don’t make decisions on autopilot that are solely based in how you feel. He’s not saying your natural instinct is always wrong, but we humans aren’t ALWAYS in a fight/flight/fawn situation and so it is a good thing to practice using perspective in most situations because most of the time, we aren’t in immediate danger. Yes, trust your gut, but trust it when it is appropriate and there is no other reason not to. That is what I got out of that part of this interview.

      As a military contractor I know a lie but from a person who has been indoctrinated it's difficult to see. Signs of mania can stress the comprehension as well so it's overall a very difficult trait to read in those types. The way that I work is what do your lips say before you speak or act? That's one of my ways and also the fall and rise of the vocal train. Are you confident or are you not so sure... Things like that. Mental dysfunction throws all that out the window again. I dislike it when people use their hands alot because it's a method of brainwashing. I do this a lot because of training but I often feel like I'm an oppressive person when I notice people feel confident in me. In actuality I'm not in the know of the lobbyists interests though I was a tool of their interests. All Americans are.

    This comment section portrays the one point Bustamante makes that the majority of people commenting are trying to disprove...
    So many people are commenting,"I sKiPpED tO tHe NeXt ViDeO wHeN hE sAiD dOnT tRuSt YoUr GuT" or "I kNeW hE wAs OuT oF hIs MiNd wHeN hE SaId tHaT, I ALWAYS Trust My GuT & ItS NeVeR DoNe Me WrOnG"
    He wasn't saying straight up, "Never Trust Your Gut!" If you were paying attention, the interviewer asked,"How can I train myself to lean more on my perspective?"
    That's when Bustamante explains there's 2 things: 1st being, Don't trust your gut because your gut is based on emotion. If you have perspective on something then you have multiple data points on something so when you feel yourself getting emotional stop and let your emotion happen for a second.
    Everyone commenting, trying to disprove what he's saying, jumped to a response based on emotion ("Hes wrong, because my gut has never lead me wrong") rather than actually paying attention, listening, and seeing that he's answering the interviewers question on how to lean more on your perspective than ....**Imagine That**...your perception.

He said he was tired of seeing the end product of people who made many bad choices. He said he wanted to do something in which he could hopefully reach children in their early age and help guide them towards better choices and avoid the point of possibly landing in jail.

I said well I am gonna just start training I hope you guys have fun .. she sensed I felt something she say no the kids are expecting you... you gonna disappoint them..well okay but my gut said something was not right... then the day they left I got the address after they;left! I said you know what I am not going this year she said you gonna make the kids cry I told them you were coming... I said you know I just got the address...mom how could you do this..they are expecting you... I then jump on the highway to get there not feeling right regardless of her words my gut said no you should not go... well I been there a day I told my granddaughter to stop being disrespectful... she started screaming mom and Dad said you should not even be here you did give them 200 dollars for the ABand B ... I was heartbroken... I was just in tears... ( well I wanted to stay to start training for my new job, I had mostly taken care of them and only worked part-time! I thave excellent credit 40,000 worth of credit I was going pay for all tickets and food to make up for it) ... well I have not been the same... I do not talk to my daughter and her husband and things have not been the same with me and my granddaughter, now here is a good gut story... I applied for 8 jobs they all said I was hired great hmmm which one should I chose... well I accepted All of them why I do not know it just felt like I should! but guess what ! only one of them actually called me to train even thought I had offer letter and a statement saying we will be in touch to give you training dates and times and congratulatory letters FROM ALL 8 OF THEM! !! had I chosen the ONLY one that paid $2 more and hour and not accepted all of them ... I WOULD HAVE noT MADE ALMOST $90,000 a sales rep with the only job that actually gave me training and kept good on their offer letter!!

      Your "gut" is your subconscious coalescing all the information your sensory system inputs in real-time. It's a super computer that takes all the input you aren't consciously aware of and spits out a flag after instantly comparing all the input data to previous case-studies stored in your long term memory. It's an incredible system if it was trained correctly like machine learning. It's your best friend, because it's always invested in your immediate survival.
      What this guy should have said, is you should identify your gut feeling, than ask yourself questions that either concur that thesis, or disproves it, not ignore it entirely.
      The real lesson here is don't listen to guys that look like Krusty the Clown because they'll try to convince you it's "The, Bart The", instead of "Die, Bart, Die".

    There is a big difference in listening to your "gut" and having an emotional reaction to a situation. My gut has never led me wrong, but I did have to learn the difference between the two and how NOT to respond emotionally to any situation I was in. And that does require you train yourself NOT to re-act but to stop and quickly assess the situation BEFORE you respond, rather than allowing yourself to have an emotion driven "knee jerk" reaction.

Asking questions, validating feelings, mirroring, understanding the difference between perception and perspective. I employ those techniques everyday with my patients. Now I think I can be a CIA agent! I also ask a question, listen and confirm, then I may share a secret if I’m inclined. It often helps. It does make me vulnerable but people are hurting in this difficult world of ours. Such a thought provoking show. Thanks for sharing!

      There’s also two parts to that utility: current and potential. Current is always better. Hence why children are often less loved than her lover given the requisite provision/ protection/ position. (Money/ power/ status)

The feminist "I love him more because it's a choice" reasoning for that stupid attitude doesn't surprise me at all. Sadly, our mom passed away too early.

      I think it’s easy to understand think about it. She hast to choose to love her husband she doesn’t have to. She isn’t blood to him but she’s blunted that boy. I don’t think it means she loves one or the other more but if your husband goes crazy and commits murder and does some psycho shit you most likely not gonna love him anymore and you’re gonna let it go but if your son does that I don’t care if he’s on death row you’ll still love him and you’ll still go see him.

      Idk why they call it gut. I think of it more of a thought that’s almost a worry of what is about to happen in the future. Or atleast for me. Get a super uneasy feeling as if something isn’t right and then thoughts of whatever it was that ended up happening. Like in the military I had these feelings before all hell broke looses and was in a really bad wreck and the entire drive had a super uneasy feeling that I was going to be in a wreck until we came up on a wreck and stopped both lanes and then I felt as if it was maybe just that until the sound of a horn then was rearended in my semi pulling over sized by another semi, or last year when we had a intruder that started pulling a handgun on me and having to use deadly force against him. Maybe I’m crazy idk but the closest I’ve ever felt to god was while at war with rounds going over head and hitting all around me and that wreck and the intruder incident . Because everything slows down and millions of things go through your mind at one time in acouple seconds but it’s as if it’s one second is slowed to your entire life time day by day and it’s as you miss nothing and understand clearer then you ever have but you have no worry or more of coming to peace with the out come and you pray that your family will be okay and handle the loss. Hopefully this all made sense I have a tbi and grammar is not my strong suit anymore 😅 so sorry for that if it’s a struggle to read and understand

      I didn't hear enough to form an opinion really..but he was describing how CIA teaches you to think. I was just thinking how that's a form of brainwashing. It's done all the time in many different professions. I have a Juris Doctorate in Law. I went into law school a very positive human being..knowing I could do just about anything I wanted. They train you to look for all the problems that can arise, in order to protect your clients.
      That turned me into a very negative human being that I often don't like much. But protecting your client comes first..or quit. I did.

      Both of these ideas are true to me. However I believe children do not stay children, they grow up and have families, homes, lives and even sometimes children of their own. If you are their "forever protector" you are in part denying them at least a portion of that role. Not to mention the fact that if viewpoints differ between your spouse and child, if there is a disagreement and you have to pick sides, your spouse or partners opinion should just automatically hold more weight. They are supposed to be your chosen partner in creating future adults if you have children. Perhaps this is the reason so many of the youngest generation are taking longer to become adults, if they ever do. There comes a time when allowing them to become everything they could be, means you have to step back.

But the unconditional, unwavering, love of that child above anything and anyone is an undercurrent -- a reliable stream that underpins and provides, ultimately, a measure of security of emotion in a world that has few guarantees.

      I think it’s highly irresponsible of him to scorn intuition like that. People need to frame his words within the fact he admits to his several sociopathic traits. It’s like stating that we need consumers to remain ignorant… and the sociopathic attitude sees it as normal. He admits to moral flexibility, where he has principles, but he might get new ones tomorrow. Everything he said will lead untrained minds to erroneous conclusions and behaviors. By the way, to get all that knowledge you don’t need to be part of the CIA. you just have to study psychology or organizational behavior 😅. Most of the stuff he mentioned is common knowledge amongst university students, or at least amongst 4-year university graduates.
