How To Smile - Blue Horizons Inc.

Summary

The video explores the concept of social connectivity, emphasizing the significance of a smile as a fundamental means of interaction. It delves into the science of smiles, introducing 'graduated networking,' a spectrum of electrical activity in the brain. The historical context highlights Boo Harrison's contributions to this field in the 1950s, which were disrupted by a mysterious incident. Viewers are guided to understand and practice optimal smiling techniques for stronger social connections. The interactive section invites viewers to apply these insights through engaging activities, reinforcing the importance of mastering the 'smiling process' in communication.

Takeaways

• 😀 Smiling is considered the most basic and effective form of social connectivity.
• 🧠 Smiles have played a crucial role in connecting people since the beginning of time, remaining relevant even with modern technologies like nuclear power and transistors.
• 🔧 There are different types of smiles with various implications, suggesting they operate on a spectrum of electrical activity in the brain, particularly the hippocampus.
• ⚡ The concept of 'graduated networking' refers to the varying levels of electrical activity in the hippocampus during different types of smiles.
• 🧪 Boo Harrison's work in the 1950s significantly advanced the understanding of smiles and electrical activity, though his research ceased after an unspecified incident.
• 📉 Good social connections are believed to use more electricity in the brain, while bad connections use less, optimizing interpersonal interactions.
• 🔺 The 'triangle plate framing' on the face helps ensure the correct facial exposure for effective connections, especially in meetings.
• 🖥️ The script includes a section for practicing smile connectivity, encouraging repeated attempts to 'connect' for optimal social interaction.
• 🔁 The concept of 'connecting' is reinforced through a repeated activity in the video, emphasizing active participation.
• 🎯 The practice of smiling and changing facial expressions is positioned as essential for mastering social connectivity and achieving optimal results.

Q & A

What is the basic form of social connectivity according to the script?

The most basic form of social connectivity is a smile.

How has smiling been significant throughout human history?

Smiling has been the most effective way of 'plugging in' socially since the start of the world clock and has remained important even after technological advancements like steam, nuclear power, and transistors.

What is the concept of 'graduated networking' mentioned in the script?

Graduated networking is a concept where smiles are believed to exist on a spectrum, ranging from minimal to maximum electrical activity in the hippocampus, representing varying degrees of social connectivity.

Who contributed to the understanding of graduated networking, and what happened to their work?

Boo Harrison conducted extensive trial and error research in the late 1950s, contributing significantly to our understanding of graduated networking. His work ceased following 'the incident.'

What is the commonly accepted theory about the use of electricity in social connections?

The theory is that more electricity is used when making a good connection and less electricity when making a bad connection.

What tool or concept is mentioned for creating optimal social connections?

The script mentions using a 'triangle plate framing' to manifest the correct exposure on the face for optimal social connections during meetings.

What does the video encourage viewers to do in Part Three?

In Part Three, viewers are encouraged to practice connecting with the activity shown on the screen, repeating the word 'connect' and eventually transitioning to 'change.'

What is the significance of electrical activity in the hippocampus in this script?

Electrical activity in the hippocampus is tied to the spectrum of social connectivity, with the amount of activity reflecting the strength or quality of the social connection.

What does the term 'plugging in' refer to in the context of the video?

'Plugging in' refers to the process of establishing social connections, primarily through the act of smiling.

What is implied by 'the incident' mentioned in the video?

While the details of 'the incident' are not provided, it is implied that it was a significant event that disrupted or altered research on social connectivity and smiles.
