> The vast vast majority of people are not "signaling" when they do things, they are just doing things. I've read Sutherland's "Alchemy" book and that's not how I remember him framing signaling. Long to short, while - to your point - we are not all intentionally signaling, we are as receivers of inputs are constantly looking for and translating random input into signals. The point being, whether you like it or not, you're giving off signals. Be mindful, or not. But if you go with the latter then you might at times be doing yourself a disservice because we as humans self-generate signals. https://www.amazon.com/Alchemy-Surprising-Power-Ideas-Sense/dp/0753556529 https://www.amazon.com/Alchemy-Surprising-Power-Ideas-Sense/... p.s. I enjoyed the book. His is a very counter "conventional wisdom" mindset. That appeals to me.
