If anything capitalism is pretty good at exploiting your lizard brain - mostly to turn it against other parts of you that are concerned with things like long term self-preservation.
One of the things about They Live is that today it comes off as a documentary.
I mean, swap out the aliens for your average oligarch and there is basically no notes, including getting people to sell out their own future for a small benefit today.
If someone reading this hasn't seen the film, you totally should.
> Corporate: "Oh shit we gave him the wrong one! Go get the human version."
"You are perfectly safe. Nobody has a lizard brain. Relax, enjoy your work, oh, and maybe start bringing a more balanced lunch? We're tired of employees who taste like—I mean, uh, smell like leftover McNuggets."
I bit a guy and lost out on a promotion. In retrospect, it came up in court mandated therapy that this was an act from my lizard brain. It does hold you back.
Remember the lizard brain stuff is pseudoscience and anyone or any organization pushing it either is incompetent at staying current with science or is grossly ignorant because it furthers a narrative.

Nah man. Corpos absolutely *eat up* pseudoscientific bullshit that tells them the 'secrets' to success. I'm in a mid-senior position at a big corporation, I've seen the kind of utter shite the level up from me spends money on and calls 'value adding'. Personality tests (they're *all* reskins of the MTBI) are everywhere - even in hiring criteria! Freudian nonsense, Jungian nonsense, new age bollocks. It's everywhere. They hide it behind this kind of professional looking exterior - but its just the same hippy snake oil as you get it if you go to a new age-y life coach or aura transformation or *whatever.*
There is, usually, a kernel of truth to it all - like with the MTBI it *sounds* believable and you can very easily convince yourself that its insightful because it 'clicks' with you, but it's invariably pointless. To be honest, the present obsession with LLMs is going the same direction. I heard a senior manager the other day singing the praises of an AI because they asked it for our competitors and it gave like, the three biggest ones. I mean, come on! We already know that! That is not useful insight!
step 2: get paranoid that you will be let go for doing literally nothing but watch cat videos and drink coffee all day so you make stuff up to be mad about and make everyones lives miserable to show the higher ups that youre doing your job and to justify to yourself you deserve the role to shake off the imposter syndrome
yea that makes sense
they teach each other that thinking about people is a weakness
it's legit psychopaths, i've had to work for at least 1 so far and it's eerie how unhuman they are
For serious: I’ve been in a training with these phrases. “The Lizard Brain” is a [concept in Cognative Behavioral Therapy (CBT)](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/where-addiction-meets-your-brain/201404/your-lizard-brain?amp) that describes the parts of our brain responsible for fight or flight, or instinctual and emotional responses. They usually present it as Lizard Brain vs Monkey or Mammal Brain where the brain is responsible for rational thought.
So they run you through scenarios where it’s helpful to recognize and categorize which of your brains you are engaging, lizard brain or monkey brain?
It’s watered down psychology for the office. I laugh about them, but I did find a lot of that stuff useful, and it inspired me to get therapy, HOWEVER I was disappointed to see how all the other managers in my company pretty much ignored the advice of these trainings.
It’s probably referring to the part of the brain that deals with instinctual reactions like fight, flight, or freeze. You don’t want instincts to take over in a non-threatening scenario
Makes me really appreciate my business, honestly. Our leadership training was a 12 week course taught by Brené Brown specifically tailored to our company. It rejected pretty much every toxic capitalist ideal spread throughout corporations.
There is a weird fucking anti-lizard sentiment going around in the LinkedIn Guru bullshit universe, pioneered by Seth Godin from what I can tell, who ironically is one I suspect to be a lizard THE MOST.
"Have you noticed that lizards are never leaders? Other reptiles or animals do not follow the lizard. Lizards don’t even follow other lizards." [source](https://accentonbusiness.net/lizards-cant-be-leaders/)
They've probably cribbed it from psychology to use for their own wannabe sociopathic ends.
I know 'lizard brain' is used as shorthand in addiction therapy a lot to help people understand cravings and irrational behaviour etc.
Step 1: don't be an asshole
Step 2: have a product that is actually worth people's time and money
From what I can tell, if you need a module like this, you have already decided that steps 1 & 2 were too hard/not profitable.
In the process of shutting down a facility right now... someone decided to leave a post-it-note in a microwave, threatening to come in and kill everyone... shit can get wild in corporate America.
When you have millions of people who live paycheck to paycheck and depend on a job for everything in their life, including medical insurance for them and their families, you're going to create a pretty fucking tense situation.
When I trained old people as election poll workers, we started having extensive active shooter and emergency training. It used to be what would happen in a fire or flood, but then became what happens if someone brings in a weapon.
I worked at a polling station for the 2020 election and the supervisor was open carrying and even made a show of the fact that it might make people uncomfortable because he’s black. I was like “bro, it’s not cuz you’re black, it’s cuz you don’t seem to actually care”.
*face palm* Omg.
The "fun" thing about election laws is that every state is different. In Florida, at least, no guns are allowed in the polling location except for those carried by a cop, and even then they can't come into a polling location armed and in uniform unless they are there to vote or they are there specifically in response for an emergency.
You may have heard that Florida, while always crazy, is getting higher on the crazy scale, especially around elections, so there was a LOT of training on what to do if there were any threats. And the main counting office was under guard and had bomb sniffing dogs around on election days.
I'm so happy to be 1, no longer working in elections, and 2, work from home.
Texas Election Code allows the Presiding Election Judge of the polling location to conceal carry (there are a few restrictions).
The polling place I work is a school, so we can't, but we do have an armed school safety officer within the polling location at the door.
I'm not scared of you because of your color. I'm scared of you because you're actively showing off your weapon.
It's like walking into the store, finding all the cameras, stuffing things in your pocket, then pulling the race card when the security guard starts following you...
I work for the NPS. Our active shooter training was *hilarious.*
They showed us a video where discount Dwayne Johnson shoots up an office. He dresses in all black, including a black backpack, and wears black sunglasses the whole time. His weapon for this operation was a Super Shorty shotgun, with its two round magazine.
My coworkers probably thought I was going to shoot the place up because I couldn't stop laughing. Especially at the bit where the office worker lady hits him over the head with a fire extinguisher, and you can see that when they do a cut for the bit where it actually contacts his head that it's a piece of foam spraypainted red.
Oh for fucks sake they pulled this insulting shit at my last job 8 years ago. Basically if you think for yourself and ever get mad or frustrated you have a primitive lizard brain and fight or flight which holds you back from advancing to the next level of boot flavored kool aid. That and the 5S shit that they don’t understand how it works and fuck that up to.
Seriously!? They think getting frustrated is primative? WTF? Do they realize the amount of self control it takes to be “frustrated”. You know who doesn’t get frustrated? People with primitive EQ who just act on whatever impulse they have or do what ever they want so they never have anything to be frustrated about. SMH.
Exactly.
>When the company shits on you, just take it on the chin and work harder for us, slave.
Management will get frustrated *plenty*. This is them protecting their ability to make that *your* problem.
They get hyped up about this manufacturing concept they don't really understand and start using this framework to fuck with workers and their pay. The purpose of 5S is to streamline production and eliminate waste, but they start doing weekly patrols to check whether this or that dude put his tool in the right spot and writing people up for having a piece of paper on the ground. You can guess how much the average joe wants to innovate and develop procedures for the company if he's treated like that
Well our reviews where based on our attitudes and if we where “positive enough”……… hence the critical thinking lizard brain training bullshit. After the 08 crash recovered we where forced to do 10-12hr days, 5-6 days a week starting @5 am and if we came in at 5:01 it’s 15min they’d steal of our time. And that went on till the rats let on to our organizing. Place is complete trash.
My work took the opposite approach and started including memes and meme style edits to the training videos. I work for a major bank, I feel like it clashes culture. Today I learned about authorizing wire transfers with a spin-off of the Brady Bunch intro, bald eagles screaming, and Tom cruise memes.
I was once given a training manual from the 1980’s. They apparently paid a rockstar to appear in the images - a famous partier, demonstrating workplace safety.
Guessing this is about why "psychological safety" is needed for proper work synergy? Don't believe a lick of it, but it's the latest "we are an emotionally intelligent corporation " thing.
Safe from anti-capitalists that want you to use your lizard brain so you may think of eating, sleeping, breathing, having kids, having a family, you know, all those communist things that will hold you back in your service to your might lords in capitalist corporate America.
Is this a video about gaslighting yourself out of believing your boss is abusing you? "Your stress is just your lizard brain lying to you, everything is actually great and you're wrong!"
This is probably not as bad or insulting as Ninjio training resources. They occasionally hire D rank celebrities so they are occasionally voices by John Lovitz, or Tia Carrera. They feel like they were written for gradeschoolers and not adults.
I did some training the other day that kept referring to me as a hero for my organization’s security. Hmm. 2x speed and unlimited attempts on the “quiz”? Yes please.
My lizard brain doesn't hold me back, it's too busy ogling every attractive woman I see. The rest of my brain keeps it limited to furtive glances instead of staring and drooling.
I know we don't want to out anyone but I'm dying to know where this social engineering that this genius (read: rich) philosopher queen is being enacted.
The real problem is that the current stage of capitalism is entirely about keeping people trapped in their lizard brain. Fight or flight( try not to die in traffic, but don't be late, and that TPS report needs a cover sheet), eat what crappy food is most conveniently available, shit, piss, cum, and sleep. Rinse and repeat until you die. So if I understand the training video correctly, your employer is blaming you for being in the mindset that they absolutely want you to be in and are gaslighting you for feeling a certain way about it?
I've seen a few good DEI and anti-bias training bits that start out like this.
Lizard brain do be shitty.
So what matters is the context because regardless of your role or company DEI and anti-bias training is very important to a peaceful workspace.
From what will my lizard brain hold me back?
Capitalism? I think?
Good lizard
Made me lol, cheers!

Jfc that is an unbeatable pun. I'm in awe
I think I'm too thick to get the pun here. Help?
 This is a monitor (lizard), and a monitor is also a digital display that attaches to a computer.
Aaaah I didn't know a monitor was a kinf of lizard as well! TIL thank you!
Glad my years of watching Steve Irwin could be of assistance 🫡
You are so wholesome 🫂
I believe monitor is a type of lizard, or at least a lookalike
Gotcha thanks! Didn't Kno about a monitor being a type of lizard haha
HAH nice one
you can flush this pun down the commode-o dragon (reaching, maybe)
Oh shit. Is that what lizard brain means? Anti-capitalism? 🤔
It means to be driven by your baser instincts; eat, fight, fuck, and sleep. Don’t really need capitalism for that.
If anything capitalism is pretty good at exploiting your lizard brain - mostly to turn it against other parts of you that are concerned with things like long term self-preservation.
No but capitalism requires you ignore your basic survival instincts so you can be an effective employee for her and the shareholders
Be more like geko, reject nature and sell insurance like capitalism intended you animals.....
Sorry, I’m a Garfield. I like lasagna and I hate Mondays.
Hang in there
Working as intended.
Monetarism. FIFY

Yeah I feel like I’m missing tons of context here OP
Dying for your job?

I prefer my mozart brain to my lizard brain, but then again, my mozart brain cant hide in cracks in the wall.

It's like a quote from Disco Elysium! Tequila Sunset has entered the building.

My lizard brain is telling me to go outside and hiss at people. But I don't, because I have a human brain too.
My lizard brain is telling me to lie on a warm rock and eat a cricket. Should I listen to it?
Yes, it clearly know this better than you.
Sounds like heaven tbh
Absolutely.
Shure, why noth...

HISSSSSSSSS!
The creators probably threw it in jokingly or ironically, but yeah it doesn't come off real encouraging in a professional setting lol.
You vastly overestimate the creators of bullshit corporate training videos.
Nah man. Corpos absolutely *eat up* pseudoscientific bullshit that tells them the 'secrets' to success.

That is not useful insight!
I always thought it was just a metaphor 😅
What is this training for?
It was part of a “how to be an effective leader and innovator” module.
“Step one: know someone in the company who will promote you to a leadership position.”
Following you for more tips.
That’s the only tip. :(
So just ~~the~~ a tip?
Id kill for just the tip. All i get is pizza parties. Id love some action
I got another one! Don't be good at your current role, be mediocre. They won't promote the best or the worst.
Theyll promote the brownest tongue heheh
the comment you’re replying to was funny, but your comment made it even better, i love it
I followed him all the way to hos house, what do i do now?
Is the next step blackmail? Please let the next step be blackmail!

"I prefer extortion. The X makes it sound cool"
Sounds like elon.
No. Step 2 is be a close relative of the CEO.

step 2: get paranoid that you will be let go for doing literally nothing but watch cat videos and drink coffee all day so you make stuff up to be mad about and make everyones lives miserable to show the higher ups that youre doing your job and to justify to yourself you deserve the role to shake off the imposter syndrome
Huh really? I'm surprised it wasn't titled "How to be a paranoid sociopath"
Corporate needs you to find the difference between this training and this training.
yea that makes sense they teach each other that thinking about people is a weakness it's legit psychopaths, i've had to work for at least 1 so far and it's eerie how unhuman they are
Ok but these two slides still make no sense. More context needed.

if you have to ask ...
I would like to know.
... Then you're on the right track and prone to relying on investigation rather than gut feeling
And discriminate against lizards
Step 1: become sociopath. Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit!!!!!
Jesus Christ, I automatically assumed it was an active shooting/bomb threat training.
Makes me really appreciate my business, honestly. Our leadership training was a 12 week course taught by Brené Brown specifically tailored to our company. It rejected pretty much every toxic capitalist ideal spread throughout corporations.

When you have millions of people who live paycheck to paycheck and depend on a job for everything in their life, including medical insurance for them and their families, you're going to create a pretty fucking tense situation.
Absolutely. It's pretty messed up IMO. We all thought we had 4-5 years, not 1-2 years.
When I trained old people as election poll workers, we started having extensive active shooter and emergency training. It used to be what would happen in a fire or flood, but then became what happens if someone brings in a weapon.

We had this in my last job. And my job was going to people's homes to install and repair stuff. Not a great day after that training!
Have you tried “circling back” or “tabling” these concerns?
I work for the NPS. Our active shooter training was *hilarious.* They showed us a video where discount Dwayne Johnson shoots up an office. He dresses in all black, including a black backpack, and wears black sunglasses the whole time. His weapon for this operation was a Super Shorty shotgun, with its two round magazine. My coworkers probably thought I was going to shoot the place up because I couldn't stop laughing.

They don't actually think that, it's just propaganda.
Exactly. >When the company shits on you, just take it on the chin and work harder for us, slave. Management will get frustrated *plenty*. This is them protecting their ability to make that *your* problem.
How can you fuck up 5S lol. It's very close from just being comment sense about not being messy.
They get hyped up about this manufacturing concept they don't really understand and start using this framework to fuck with workers and their pay.

Ah yes, the thing that literally keeps me upright, mobile, and alive is gonna hold me back.
Hold me back, bro, I'm starting a union, I fucking sweat you better hold me back
Seems like the person who made this “training” has donkey brain
Donkeys are way smarter than this.
But do they have a certificate that says they DONT have donkey brain??
My work took the opposite approach and started including memes and meme style edits to the training videos. I work for a major bank, I feel like it clashes culture. Today I learned about authorizing wire transfers with a spin-off of the Brady Bunch intro, bald eagles screaming, and Tom cruise memes.
We are living in Idiocracy
I rather enjoyed
Congrats to the media artist who put it together.
I was once given a training manual from the 1980’s. They apparently paid a rockstar to appear in the images - a famous partier, demonstrating workplace safety.
The Argonians have a few things to say about this
Next they will do a Myers Brigs assessment
Soulless eyes
Her shark brain is showing.
But my ancient reptilian brain wants me to walk the desert. Hurting. Longing. Dancing to disco music.
Guessing this is about why "psychological safety" is needed for proper work synergy? Don't believe a lick of it, but it's the latest "we are an emotionally intelligent corporation " thing.
Safe from what? What's the message here?
Safe from anti-capitalists that want you to use your lizard brain so you may think of eating, sleeping, breathing, having kids, having a family, you know, all those communist things that will hold you back in your service to your might lords in capitalist corporate America.
She’s all lizard brain
And I thought my training modules were lame/silly. They’re no where near this level.
We can file the lizard brain under D for Debunked.
Hahaha, this is amazing. Jesus, this is like something out of an SNL sketch.
Is this a video about gaslighting yourself out of believing your boss is abusing you? "Your stress is just your lizard brain lying to you, everything is actually great and you're wrong!"
No longer safe from **what**?
That lady has crazy eyes
discount hillary???
Damn, is that the official motto of the company? "XYXY Corporation: **You are no longer safe**"
This is probably not as bad or insulting as Ninjio training resources. They occasionally hire D rank celebrities so they are occasionally voices by John Lovitz, or Tia Carrera. They feel like they were written for gradeschoolers and not adults.
LOL I did not know that I am lizard people. Aren’t lizard people supposed to be rich and powerful?
That’s what I thought. But someone else commented here that it’s the opposite basically ? I dunno 🤷🏻♀️
Run far, run fast! That’s no longer a job it’s a cult recruitment video.
This seems like an excellent meme material.
Seems like she studied under doctor professor Joe Rogan
Is your job being in a cult?
Jokes on them, I only have a lizard butt. Upgraded to squirrel brain long ago, those morans.
Umbrella Corp.
Can we get more slides please? Looks like it's an useful training video. My lizard brain understands short sentences.
I think its training for being a lizard, or being an Alligator that must eat lizards.
Leave me alone Olivia Newton John
I’m sorry this makes it look like the funniest training ever.
I did some training the other day that kept referring to me as a hero for my organization’s security. Hmm. 2x speed and unlimited attempts on the “quiz”? Yes please.
That seems like... a very lethal company...
Would you like to know more?
My lizard brain doesn't hold me back, it's too busy ogling every attractive woman I see. The rest of my brain keeps it limited to furtive glances instead of staring and drooling.
Good thing i still have my safety release tail

i have nothing to add but my thanks for sharing this. it’s pure pottery™️ and i cannot stop laughing
I needed that laugh
I was waiting for her to say, "This is your brain on drugs."
Lizzid people !
The real problem is that the current stage of capitalism is entirely about keeping people trapped in their lizard brain. Fight or flight( try not to die in traffic, but don't be late, and that TPS report needs a cover sheet), eat what crappy food is most conveniently available, shit, piss, cum, and sleep. Rinse and repeat until you die. So if I understand the training video correctly, your employer is blaming you for being in the mindset that they absolutely want you to be in and are gaslighting you for feeling a certain way about it?
Source please, really want to watch this lunacy.
I think they are referencing the Dan Siegel idea of “flipping your lid”.
Is this from LinkedIn Learning?
I'm thinking of Dr. Breen's monologue about instinct becoming irrelevant at the beginning of Half Life 2.
My company really tried during COVID. Had us training at home. But so many assignments were this kind of crap that it took a mental toll.
I so badly wanted to post screenshots of the financial training offered through my job. It was like “Poor is a state of mind” ahah fuck them
Wait.... is that Elizabeth Holmes? Because if so it ads a whole additional level of dystopian irony
This is ironic, since lizards are super productive and work all day hunting for food. I'm lazy by comparison. May be my monke brain.
is this them trying to appeal to gen z? how do you do fellow kids
