Violating Expectations - Release your Inner Richard!

In this second in a series about Violating Expectations, I show how the Safety Elevator was invented by Elijah Otis in the 1850s, thus allowing for the construction of skyscrapers, and how the sensations generated by falling can fool us into believing we’re in danger, when we’re not.

    Excellent video as always, Les! Can't believe you don't have more subscribers and views! I also can't wait for part 2 of releasing the Richard (pun intended? Haha!)

    Great video. Your way of explaining things is so good. My problem with flying is that I just can’t seem to convince my lizard brain that flying is extremely safe. I can read the statistics but it’s like my brain just doesn’t accept them to be true. I’m not scared of turbulence or strange noises or heights or claustrophobia. I’m scared of freak accidents. I’m scared of NOT flying - from 30000 feet. It’s like every time I get on a plane I feel like I’m rolling the dice. Can you maybe do a video addressing that?

    The idea of convincing your emotional brain (no evidence lizards experience much depth of emotion) that it can let go of the "threat->fear" response is at the heart of so much behavioural change. That is what this series is aiming to do!
