Non-Standard Observations

Hello everyone and welcome to this installment of the Human Behavior Podcast. Today we are talking about the most important element of understanding, or “reading,” human behavior, which is the background action, the context, the setting of the scene that provides the relevance for what you see.

Think about this for a second…Every time you drive, bike, or walk – you pass by signs, signals, plaques, icons, or graffiti without every fully realizing the significance of those observations or perceptions. These nuanced observations create the fidelity and the granularity that comprises the very fabric of our memories. It’s easy to take the B-roll, the background action, the set dressing as meaningless filler when in reality, those perceptions are the essential elements in comparing baselines to determine threats or danger.

For this episode I had Greg share a personal story where his recognition of a seemingly insignificant observation gave him the gift of time and distance which probably saved his life. This story came from a larger Lessons Learned article that Greg wrote a while back and you can find that article on our Patreon site.
