Sense Make vs Scents Make

The Human Behavior Podcast

Send us a text

Hello everyone and thanks for tuning back in, this week we are super excited to bring you the very first episode of the human behavior podcast! For those of you have been listening to the Left Of Greg podcast we think you’re going to really enjoy the new format as well as the additional content on Patreon.

At Arcadia Cognerati we train people how to conduct predictive analysis and “read” a situation, event, or person more accurately because if you can do that, you can make more informed decisions and you won’t be forced to react or respond to everything that happens. You can actually control the operational tempo and use time and distance to your advantage. So, for this very first episode I wanted to start with a topic that Greg and I talk a lot about in our in-person training courses and we decided to use an article that Greg wrote a few years ago as a basis for the episode. If you’re a Patreon subscriber, you can read the article titled Sense Making vs Scents Making which is a play on words about whether you are accurately making sense of your environment or if you’re making a stink of the situation.

We often see examples on the news of situations that have gone catastrophically wrong, and the pundits and armchair quarterbacks come out with all kinds of opinions on WHAT the person did wrong, but they fail to accurately explain WHY they made the wrong decision, which I simply define as a failure in sense making, an error in comprehension.

So, in this episode we are going to explain why all humans are prone to errors in sense making and why we keep getting things wrong, even when we think we aren’t. During the episode we unpack some complex issues about errors in judgement and where they come from, we talk about heuristic processing, psychological imperatives that are biased in favor of our survival, and how the line between fantasy and reality can easily get blurred.

I want to give a special thanks to the folks we met at APX Studios in Ferndale, Michigan where this episode was recorded. Not only were they extremely professional and helpful but we had an amazing conversation with them after we recorded the show.

Thank you so much for tuning in, we hope you enjoy the episode and if you want to know more please check out our Patreon site. If you enjoy the podcast I would kindly ask that you leave us a review and more importantly, please share it with a friend. Thanks for tuning in and don’t forget that Training Changes Behavior!
