		<description><![CDATA[We are a deeply, intrinsically, social species. We operate as a group, teach and learn from each other, help and assist each other, exploit and use each other. None of us can even survive without help from others, let alone transcend. The oil which greases the wheels of cooperation is our ability to understand each [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In poker, a &#8220;tell&#8221; is detectable change in a player&#8217;s behaviour or demeanour that gives clues to that player&#8217;s assessment of his hand, but more generally we can say that a &#8220;tell&#8221; is a change in a persons behaviour that gives clues to their emotional state or awareness. As mentioned last week, there is no [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most social animal species organise themselves into dominance hierarchies. The Alpha Chimp gets the most respect, the king of the seals gets a harem, the top dog is leader of the pack and even chickens spontaneously order themselves into a pecking order. Human beings, of course, are more complicated than chickens and our social structures [...]]]></description>

The door opens and you see your friend look up at the door and her expression changes. As you see the smile on her face you know instantly that whoever has just walked in behind you is friend, [...]]]></description>

We talked about tells and the way the social hierarchy is encoded within the posture, gait, tone, speech patterns and actions of the people of the world. We [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the Social Perception section during the last lap around the Transcendence Spiral, you learned that most of the signals people give out during an interaction are unconscious signals. That while people may have a good idea what words they&#8217;re saying, they don&#8217;t always know exactly how they&#8217;re saying it, and the non verbal parts [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week we looked into ways to become more aware of the signals you&#8217;re constantly sending to the people you interact with, the subconscious and subliminal messages that you send through your posture, gait, voice, tone and expressions (both verbal and facial). As you become more aware of these signals, you&#8217;ll likely find more and [...]]]></description>

Language is, as far as we can tell, the most incredible tool for influencing other creatures that has ever evolved on this planet. Think of it, just a few words uttered to you can transport your mind through time and [...]]]></description>

Our languages are really the pinnacle of communication techniques developed by evolution. There is nothing in the animal, mineral, vegetable, fungal or micro-biotic worlds which even begin [...]]]></description>
