Wow! Very interesting thread fellahs...
Feel free to take my words as a grain of salt. I just watched Peter North's "testimonial" twice to gather an opinion of whether or not he was just trying promote the product (acting, lying) or saying something he truly believed. I watched the video for the first time get an overall impression. The second time, I watched the video for specific, non-vocal signs that we (all humans) do subconsciously when we are either lying or concealing the truth.
I learned about certain techniques that the FBI use during interrogations to detect whether a person is being truthful or not. The primary technique is something referred to as "eye axising." What this refers to is the subconscious shifting of the eyes to one side or the other (also up and down) while talking. The first thing I needed to do was determine his dominant hand, and he appears to be strongly right handed (he pop-shots with his right hand, and he does most of his non-verbal directing with his right hand as he speaks). Eye axising dictates that when he is telling the truth, he will involuntarily shift his eyes to side of this dominant hand (to the right) as he is speaking about specific details. His eye axising was also consistent with his story of revealing something that has been a secret because he looked down a bit too as he spoke. Looking down normally indicates when a subject is speaking about something they are guarded or uncomfortable speaking about. Looking up indicates that the subject is trying to conjure up an thought or abstract image (you look up to recall images, and think about things and answers.... don't you!.... yeah you do!). Based on his eye axising, and consistency of his vocal tonality (which is another thing that intelligence agencies monitor-sometimes with computer programs) I conclude that Mr. North was telling us a story he believes to be true. In other words, he really believes that those pills do what he says they do.
Based on what you guys said, if he was talking about not taking it up the ass on film then that son-of-a-biscuit's eyes would have been jerking to down and to left!!!:mrgrin: Sometimes people try to fool you and open their eyes really wide, while staring at you confessing how honest they are being. As soon as their concentration breaks, they'll look down and away from their dominant hand if they are lying.
Just for kicks, go back and see if you notice the things I mentioned about eye axising and tonality to draw your own opinion. If you think it's bullshit, just keep in mind that all intelligence agencies are trained in this. Also keep in mind the fact that these signals are transmitted involuntarily by the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is not critical, and can only be programmed to lie after extensive practice (which normally manifests itself as a mental pathology, because the subconcious mind will only do what comes naturally and what you train it to do, however, conflict arises when behaviors are opposite of what it best for the individual subject). The subconscious mind controls 90% of you daily functions (i.e. you don't think about moving your fingers in certain configurations when you type, or tie your shoe or do most things throughout the day... all those non-thinking actions [walking, sitting, standing, writing, even talking] are controlled by your subconcious... think about it). Learning to communicate with, and understand communications of the subconscious mind is invaluable.
I'm gonna accumulate my seed and try the techniques that you guys have been discussing. I really hope I can get the hang of it cuz that dudes' pop shot are beyond amazing. I'd be a legend if I could do that!
