Just a thought today...

I am fortunate to know and study human behaviour...

Successful marketing is about creating inspiration and new beginnings and helping people see a new and better way of doing things...

I spend all week doing this and most of my trips overseas are surrounded by people who also do this successfully...

However...

The same knowledge can be used for evil. History has shown how masses of people can do things which are very in humane...

So, with this knowledge I can see patterns. I can see behaviours and I can also see layers beneath what is happening on the surface...

Most people don’t see what is happening and are swept along with the crowd...

So...

- when I see masses of people doing crazy things
- when I see people’s mind and conversation occupied for weeks about a big topic
- when I see massive momentum being built
- when I see people not seeing the simple solutions
- and especially when I see people in fear

I start to pay attention and look beneath the surface...

So... my long term thought...

Corona Virus

I am not discounting the seriousness of any virus, I also not being dismissive of facts...

Instead I am simply looking at what is surrounding the virus and the potential future plays that are being setup... deep layers under the surface...

- We have the whole world involved
- Everyone is fearing for their lives
- People want to take action to protect themselves
- People are competing with each other by stocking up on supplies (which is also stealing those supplies from others)
- People are looking to governments and health departments as the place to ‘save the masses’
- People are trusting authorises solutions to relieve their fears

So... my thought exercise...

What if everything surrounding Corona virus is actually more dangerous than the virus itself.

(I am saying this assuming it is very serious and everyone is doing amazingly well to contain it)

However what I am looking at is the phase beyond this...

What if the dangerous part of all this is that there is a suggested global vaccination... of all citizens... administered with urgency...

That opens up another whole can of worms... and I not talking about it being for financial profit...

IF the fear is maintained then people will accept this with open arms...

If my fellow Aussies have empties the countries supermarket shelves on toilet paper as a solution... well fuck me...

Potentially we are just in the setup phase of something bigger...

Just a thought exercise... and yep I could elaborate on the details of the psychology playing out... but that’s a different chat...

So yep... Friday ponderings for me... ok back to work ðŸ™‚.
