I've always been told I'm not taking people's feelings into consideration enough. While we want to

be considerate of people's feelings, people also do need to become more resilient. Figure your own

stuff out. It's a you problem, not an everybody else problem. So figure it out and navigate through life.

And man alive when I say stuff like that, I get so much pushback. Oh, I'm so mean. I'm awful.

There was a time in the past

where being mean was not unethical. It was just being mean. But I think we've entered a time period

where if you're not constantly and perpetually signaling compassion, you are put in an unethical

camp. Hey, welcome back to the Personality Hacker podcast.

My name is Joel Mark Witt.

And I'm Antonio Dodge.

Antonio, why does it seem like people, the world at large, the things I see online,

couch thinking and thoughts as pure and responsible and emotions as unethical and manipulative and dirty. Do you have an answer for me?

Because I'm really curious about this. Well, my experience seems to be 180 degrees away from that.

So I'm going to need to know what you mean by that because I don't experience that at all. Oh, interesting. Okay. Well, I can give you a background of this. And by the way, if you're listening or watching right now, do you have a sense of this? Do you have a sense of is thinking or feeling from your perspective presented to you by the world as one of them is more pure and the other one can be corrupted more easily.

See, because my experience is the opposite. Let me tell you what my experience is before you. Okay, go ahead. Okay, yeah. I don't want you to jump and clarify yet. Well, based on the question that you just asked to, you know, dear audience member, I'm like, I don't, I feel like it's the opposite. I feel like feeling is always presented as ethical and pure and thinking is the corruptible evil one. So you're going to have to. Not at all. Not at all. Okay. So here's what happened. Here's the context. Okay. I'm looking around on the internet. I love looking at adverts, like advertisements because I'm like, okay, we need to we need to offer our wares. You know, what we do here at personality hacker. And so I'm always looking at adverts like advertisements because I'm like, okay, we need to, we need to offer

our wares, you know, what we do here at personality hacker. And so I'm always looking at advertisements. And I've been noticing there's a lot more AI advertisements. And there's this advertisement that came through, and it must be because of my feed. It started talking about things like Jung and it was like this mystery. It was like this graphic, this AI image graphic. It said midnight at the top.

It had this woman on her phone laying in graphic, this AI image graphic. It said midnight at the top. It had this

woman like on her phone laying in bed, like a cartoon character. And it had like all these,

you know, like midnight. And it was like Yong's mistake. And she didn't know her friends would

be tuned into this. And I'd like, what the heck? None of this makes any sense. Like none of

this makes any sense. But it none of this makes any sense.

But it kind of makes emotional sense, I guess. It's like trying to trigger a bunch of emotions. So I take it, I screenshot it. I throw it up into chat GPT. I'm like, explain this ad to me. Like, this doesn't make logical sense. Like, I would never want to click on this. It doesn't explain what's behind it. I always thought clarity is what you need in advertising, right?
