"Is that reaction what I'm trying to achieve", interesting perspective.
- MauranKilom 6y agoIt seems apparent to me that this is something most people do more or less intuitively (and for those that are especially proficient at it, I can see how it would become manipulative very quickly). I'm getting better at it, but it's still largely a manual/conscious effort. Tangentially, I also found the way Alan Turing was portrayed in The Imitation Game to hit extremely close to home in this regard. E.g. this key scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOjMfUCgyyw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOjMfUCgyyw. Regardless of how historically accurate it is, the movie contrasts these differences between interacting with computers/math and other humans (in that the former is solely about "factual content" alone) very well in my eyes.
- christiansakai 6y agoWow interesting video. Thank you.
- jfengel 6y agoIn acting, that's precisely how we're taught to evaluate every line we speak. "What do I want? How will saying this help me achieve it? What do I expect to happen when I do?" You build a performance that engages the audience by having a commitment to your character's goal. You are constantly aware of how people react, which isn't just about what you say but how you say it. Everyone does that already; actors just get practice doing it more consciously and explicitly.
