"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Persistence Hunt: Running for meat.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

that's a stupid assumption, dude. what we mostly ate, (what flesh food we DID eat, that is) back in the day, was carrion and what we could drive other animals off of, after THEY killed it. just as packs of wild dogs do to this day. You cant be risking failure, burning so many calories, risking injury, that often. It just won't pan out. Mostly, primitives foraged for edible plants, with some fish, reptiles, amphibs,and some insects in the mix.

What about the native Americans hunting bison? All parts of the Bison were used for so many different things in the tribe. Hunting Bison was important to them and they did it often.

What assumption? Do you mean how we hunted before weapons? I didn't assume this, it was said in the video.

Also, eating carrion is not hunting. The video isn't saying that this is how early man first got his meat, it is saying that back before we had developed weapons capable for hunting these animals, we ran them down.

I can't see how they know in the video how we hunted animals back then. I'd think it would be easier for pre-weapon humans to scavenge. Or chase away a tired predator after a long hunt to steal their prey. Using intelligence, that would be the most efficient way to get nutrient dense food. Until of course they developed ways to do so easier (weapons).

Anyway, that's only an educated guess, I can be wrong.
