> Hi Don,
> Thanks for sharing that insight... I find it > very valuable! There is a well accepted theory in marketing circles I ran across lately saying that it is only our reptilian brain (the one with emotions) that induces action. Of our two other brains, the limbic system induces "follow the herd" actions, namely identity to a group of peers but no personal action. It surrounds our reptilian brain. And our grey matter cortex brain which itself surrounds our limbic system makes comparisons of abstract models, namely modelizations of previous thoughts. All day long and with no other actions at all. Those three brains do not get along easily and we have to make an unconcious choice as to which brain's expression we let through at a particular moment. To induce action we have to speak to the reptilian brains of our audience, namely to their emotions. And afterwards provide social motivation material and logical arguments for, once they have made the action we wanted them to do, they can satisfy their two other brains and be confortable with their decision. So it is the reptilian brain that has "Yes" or "No" or "Is this dangerous" or "is it good to eat" kind of preoccupation. The limbic system will do like the herd. And the grey matter cortex will try to make an interesting matter of study out of anything. So I hope this should help settle the matter of who should have a say and who shouldn't. Thank you. mario the-biz-out-of-an-idea.com |
