While I was reading today, I came across this interesting diagram in a book about the psychology of influence.

Here’s what’s happening in the picture in case you can’t tell.

In the first frame, one man is staring up into the sky. In the second frame, two more people join him, wondering what’s up in the sky. In the third frame, even more people join the man, and someone is looking down from a window. In the fourth frame, even the person on the second-floor window is looking up along with even more people on the ground, and they see an angel. In the fifth and final frame, the social influence of the people on the ground is so great that even the angel looks up to see what’s in the sky.

I’ll be having a review of this book in the very near future as soon as I finish reading it.

Quote of the Day

Parkzer: brb, heading out for a little bit
Ash: how long will it take?
Parkzer: Not that long, I’m not going far
Ash: how far is not far?
Parkzer: Only a few miles
Ash: are you going to walk?
Parkzer: No, I’m driving
Ash: you should walk instead, it’s healthier
Parkzer: That sort of defeats the purpose of my trip, I’m going to fill up my dad’s car with gas…
Ash: oh -.-
