RDB PHILOSOPHY CHAPTER 3 While my RDB story as written on my pages and group and messenger is a worthwhile read, it doesnt pull the pieces together and build a clear understanding of my vision. I want to take you on a journey into the mind of RDB Social Advertising. After you finish reading this, youll have more than just a set of intriguing historical facts about RDB, youll be qualified to have a legitimately deep and meaningful intellectual conversation about RDB Social Advertising. Robert Dean Barrett I’m not actually an easy person to communicate with at all. I have been that way my whole life. And because I’ve been the awkward little communicator guy, I’ve been isolated more than usual. And because I was isolated more than usual, my creativity was less affected by what others say how things should be. All my hope in life started to depend on my craft. My Aspergers yet artistic nature combined with the dominate character trait as sociable, most of my life instead of turning my mind to technical skills, I withdrew and turned my mind to the contemplation of human nature. As it happens, I am not mentally disciplined to socially create much of anything myself, but I understand the psychology well enough to draw it out of others, and well enough to get by on my own as long as I am doing something I enjoy. To help really describe in illustrate this, lets contrast the “herd society” with the “hive society”. In a herd everyone is trying to contribute to everything, in a hive society people focus on their own area of expertise. The individual in a hive has complete creative power over his own domain, but no creative power over anything outside his domain. “Mind your business” is the operating philosophy of the hive, “I have a right to be heard” is the operating philosophy of the herd. Most my life, my struggle to communicate my expertise, was buried underneath all of the fluent communicators who said they had a right to be heard over me. Inside herd based societies the whiz kids end up at the very bottom because they are not people’s people, their non-emotive unwavering you’re wrong style of debate upsets the herd. To get my point across to anyone, I would have to be sharp. My tactless approach has always turned against me. I never became more gentle with others until I was given another method of communicating—Facebook— that would be years into my life, before Facebook would present its gift to me. Without Facebook, it would be instead the people who rise to the top are smooth talking golf playing charismatic types with a background in sales and marketing. Deep down I say they are clueless about posting, their skill is simply political. And its fascinating how these types dont survive in building their brand on Facebook. These individuals can run the show successfully for a while, but when a storm hits they are helpless because they are not real captains of public audience. I dont know how to handle Facebook because theyre not used to communicating on a level as fluid as social media, but rather they are just experts at looking like captains. They are destroyed by ego, when they forget that they are impostors, and turn away from the advice of the whiz kids in the lower ranks, they are destroyed by the incompetence of their own decision making. Jesus was crucified, Socrates was forced to drink hemlock. Real vision is not a simple specialist skill, it is a philosophical viewpoint that is more advanced that the rest of society, a viewpoint which in its day is always reviled because it rejects the prevailing zeitgeist, a viewpoint which is ahead of its time and which is only appreciated by future generations. I like to hit the target others can’t see, Im a hunter of brand naturals not a producer. People like me are not straight line thinkers, we think in terms of opposites and harmonies. Thats why I do strange things like study failed Facebook pages to understand the essence of Zuckerburgs psychology. Or ask out a lovely young lady who I have never met before, on a date through the RDB Group Messenger. You could imagine how my question was phrased by Mariahs beautiful answer, You know what, its New Years! Time for adventure if there ever was. I choose B. 😄 The reason why Facebook pages so often post terrible content that people cannot engaged, is because Facebook does not communicate the same way that people do in person. It is that it requires a weaving skill that is very rare. Perhaps I can describe it as neither sales-marketing nor engineering, but something that can go back and forth and understand the mind of both sides. We could call my skill something like philosophy, or psychology, or as Socrates would say “insight into human nature”. I am a talented computer programmer and yet can see philosophical targets computer programmers cant see. No-one is going to read a book about a computer programmer to learn about the philosophy of technology or economics or society. Computer programmers are just smart ordinary guys, yet Im in a different league, the sort of league that doesn’t just build good Facebook posts, I set an example that changes the entire world of socializing online. So when someone says they would rather pay someone else to create their Facebook content than have RDB teach them how to create their own content, they arnt just slightly wrong, they are cosmologically wrong. I suppose if someone wanted to catch the vision, they could be invited in as one of my favorites - I find a few people who notice the small details of my brand, and focus on them.
