![]() ![]() And decision-making a lot more complexed. Yet the most effective leaders don’t hide behind series of graphs and graphics all organized in bullet-points. No wonder he flatly states: “PowerPoint makes us stupid.” “hypnotizing chickens” antics via PowerPoint. Mattis of the Marine Corps has had to ward off more than his share of PowerPoint presiding –a.k.a. That leaves only 5 minutes at the end for reporter’s questions “from anyone still awake,” notes Thomas X. ![]() PowerPoint is in fact so numbing that the media relations officials in the Pentagon call it – Hypnotizing Chickens-when they show a series of boring and confusing PowerPoint slides for 25 minutes of a scheduled 30-minute news conference. Likewise control-oriented managers have learned how to paralyze an audience in a deep freeze like trance. The suddenly “paralyzed” chicken then thwarts off predators very effectively. It’s a biological defense mechanism the chicken has evolved to quickly play dead trance-like whenever it feels threatened. The chicken would then freeze, trance-like for up to 30 minutes. Then he would draw a line along the ground with a stick or a finger outward in front of the chicken. Little Johnny would first hold a chicken’s head down against the ground so the chicken would stare straight ahead on the ground. He amazed the other kids on the farm who hadn’t yet learned the art of hypnotizing a chicken. ![]() Imagine the power little Johnny had in his finger. ![]() U/Sat0sh1_Nakam0t0 asked the $64,000 question.Here’s an idea to focus on thoughtful decision-making. Wait so your telling me Jurassic Park could have been solved with one finger? Quick, someone genetically engineer a T-rex from a fossil! We NEED to test this! It might work on a T-Rex if it’s true they are the ancestors of chickens. If you can put a tiger’s head nose down on the sand, you don’t need that trick anyway. I mean because I get stoned and sit on Reddit all day. …and what else does this trick work on?! Tigers? Capybara? A chicken? Oh, shit! Has anyone done the same thing to a person? Because if I had friends then I’d totally find out for myself like right now! …But I don’t have friends because I do stuff like fantasize about outlandish yet simple ways to hypnotize people for my own personal gain. What I want to know is: how did anyone figure this out? I mean who got so frustrated with their chicken that they grabbed it by the neck, held it down and was like “LOOK! LOOK AT THIS, YOU FUCKIN’ CHICKEN!” The end just proves that every time roosters wake up they choose violence. The clip from two years ago has reappeared online after u/EmreDoqan shared it on the r/interestingasfuck forum on Reddit. It doesn’t explain why a line is a predator, but nothing is perfect. The action puts the chicken into a state called tonic immobility (Thanks, Wikipedia) which effectively forces them to play dead in the face of a predator. If you’ve been sitting there completely distracted by the big existential question – Can you hypnotise a chicken? – you’re about to be freed up to get on with life, because this video has the answer. ![]()
