I would like to remind the person that created this video, that Stephen Colbert is not an actual interviewer, he is a character. Also he seems to read very much into somethings, like the hand movement to the left.

Yeah, I agree with Tada... on both the 666 in the hand gesture being too much. and Steven Colbert being a guy from Comedy Central, acting like one of those people from Faux News

Colbert`s popularity is SPECIFICALLY because he satirises this stuff, expertly. People are very angry with being manipulated, even when they often don`t conciously know it`s happening. Under the surface, the frustration and rage grows, and the profound insult is felt. We don`t catch every little gesture, every nuance, it all happens too fast. We`re watching experts, and some of these guys probably even have specific NLP training. People feel that expertice, that cold callous deception and manipulation, deep down where it works, even if there are no words for some of those feelings. Some people want it, they demand to be told by someone who will take care of them. But many people feel liberated when they have someone expose the lies, call it out, and make fun of it. Thanks go to Steve Colbert, who deserves our gratitude as a wise man.

NLP is scary shit. You can equate it to a wiring diagram, or machine language programming guide, for the brain. It`s still in its infancy, along with everything else we think we know, but that doesn`t mean it`s not on to anything powerful. I like to think of it as : what we are succeptible to because we are still monkeys : what the old parts of the brain react to, parts where there are no speech / word tie-ins. Like moths to the light (even a candle that burns them), I think we have some left over buttons to be pressed, and we do things automatically like a dog scratching its ear when you rub its belly just so. I`m just not enough of a sadist to want to know how to press those buttons. It`s enough to know we have them, and how to spot someone on automatic, so maybe you can snap them out of it. Unlike the dog, we can sometimes learn not to scratch our ear when someone rubs our tummy. But we aren`t born with that skill of defense.

I really have to applaud the vid for digging into this topic, even if some bits are over the top.
