I pushed out another blog post! How to close a drawer, how to do just about any manipulation, based on techniques described by Dan Whitney in a talk I attended about 50 years ago.

It is only an eight-minute read. Hope you like it.

Time for another blog post -- "The Inner Robot" -- on how our subconscious processes mislead us on the nature of human manipulation, by managing it brilliantly and quietly. Hope you find it rewarding. It is a seven-minute read.

I just posted my 2nd blog post.
Here's the idea: How do we assess ideas about humanoids, without our anthropocentric bias? Maybe if the ideas were being pushed by another species. Beetles?
