Pattern Interrupt

How many times have you ever drove someplace, home from work or to your kid’s school, and suddenly realized that you don’t remember how you got there?  It happens to all of us.  As Ray Kurzweil has pointed out, most recently in his book “how to create a mind,” we are pattern matching machines.  We see a pattern, classify it and characterized it, and once we get used to it, we ignore it.

Chance are, if you saw an accident on your way home from work, or were ticketed by the cops, you not only remembered that, but everything else about your trip.

That’s a pattern interrupt.

Generally speaking, A pattern interrupt is the difference between what you see, and what you expect to see.

Alex Jones is a pattern interrupt.

By being aggressive, loud and accusatory, Alex did something the other night that no one else has done in the fight for liberty, he shook people out of their trance and made them pay attention.

Nice guy?

Chances are most people, even if they watched Ben Shapiro of Brietbart on Piers Morgan last night, probably can’t recall any of his arguments.  Ben is a nice guy.  He is a smart guy. He is even made a good presentation.  In the end in didn’t matter.

He continually allowed Piers to dominate the mood.  He accepted Piers’ (wrong) assumptions (e.g. there were no “assault” weapons at any mass shooting), and he also accepted (wrongly) that Piers was acting in good faith.

I couldn’t help but think how much better Alex Jones would have done in that situation.

What makes Alex so effective against people like Piers is that he comes at them with a righteous anger.  Alex KNOWS that these people are lying scum.  He KNOWS that they want to ban ALL guns (even though they lie about that), and he KNOWS that everything they say is calculated to mislead and confuse.
