Talking Moose

The Moose is a normal Windows 10 application, and everything the Moose can talk about, is coded in Javascript and with HTML control panels.

So the Moose is easily edited, and moddable, and easy to keep up-to-date.

The Moose is an excellent hypnotherapist, motivation coach, and persuasion teacher.

And it's all in a gradual natural helpful-friend way.

Knowing how hypnotherapy works, how copywriters persuade, how motivational speakers inspire, it's all in the Moose, and
IT WORKS.

If the Moose only spoke from a list of motivational sentences, it would get boring.

With linguistic expertise to construct it's motivational sayings on the fly. With a million variations, AND, a nice way of being positive and funny.

• Unlike a hypnotherapist, who charges by the hour, and you only see them at rare appointments. (Or never.)

The Moose doesn't do actual hypnosis. There's no drama, and no special focusing by you. Instead, it's all gradual daily positive consistency. It's effortless for you.

Learning how it works, makes it work even better.

Here's a recording of the Moose speaking a randomly created sentence in the weight loss topic.

“Experience shows that people like to do more exercise, and become who they imagine themselves to be.”

1. The words at the start are to keep the conscious mind busy and un-critical.
2. The command in the middle, to the subconscious: do more exercise.
3. The words at the end are to provide a reason, because the subconscious accepts reasons as true.

Correct! This approach needs to continue over time, and the target is your subconscious mind, not your analytical skeptical conscious mind.

But your conscious mind will enjoy spotting the persuasion techniques being used, and you can learn to be deliberately persuasive, for a win-win.

Shown next below, normally the Moose isn't this big. But just for the next video recording, I made the Moose fill the entire screen. But normally the moose is 1/4 this size, and stays in one of the corners of the screen.

“Hi Steve. I'm not going to ask you to go to bed earlier, because it's up to you. Isn't it.“

Yes, the Moose greets you by YOUR name. The command to “go to bed earlier“, is embedded within a nice sentence.

Getting enough sleep is physiologically essential. It increases metabolism, decreases calories consumed, and so on. It's important therefore, that the Moose should suggest more sleep.

It's true, the jokes are “mildly amusing” usually, but their true purpose is for friendship, as well as the benefits described below.

By the way, you can turn on the Not-safe jokes.

You WILL remember jokes.

This is a benefit. The Moose tells jokes. You learn and remember jokes, you also learn to tell jokes to others.

And, you learn the secrets to creating your own humor. You become funnier..

Here are some facts about laughing.

• It's good for you.    Laughing is REALLY good for you.
• The neurochemicals released from laughing, creates good mood, productivity, creativity, thinking, alertness, and so on. That's a benefit.
• Laughing and the release of the neurochemical Dopamine, reduces Dopamine rewards from foods. In other words, laughing helps you lose weight.

“Hear a joke, then tell a joke.”

That's what usually happens, and experts agree that it's an effective booster of social standing.

People, like you, can benefit from telling the occasional joke, to raise your social standing.

• Hearing a spoken joke, is far more effective in subsequently telling a joke to others, compared to simply reading a joke.
• Hearing the Moose speaking a joke, often results in the person getting out of their chair, and telling the joke to others.

Repeating that important point: The Moose has a magical effect of getting you out of your chair and telling a few jokes each day to the people around you.

One more thing… Laughter crushes Anxiety. It's like Rock, Paper, Scissors are all anxiety, and Laughter beats them all. The Moose will be really good for people with anxiety.

This is a major feature of the Moose, that I'm really proud of.

The huge advantage of the Moose, is being effortless. You don't have to pick up a phone and touch it to read a notification.

You don't have to read and scroll a page with your mouse. You don't have to stop doing anything.

The Moose just speaks to you, on a schedule. A schedule that you control.

For Anxiety help, the Moose doesn't know what you're ‘overthinking’ about, but by offering you other things to think about, that are pleasant, that are positive affirmations, it interrupts the anxiety and replaces it with something different and positive… for a while.

I used the remarkable sentence creation code, (with the ability to create a million variations of sentences), and applied it on the topics that interrupt anxiety.

If you don't want the Anti-Anxiety plugin, just turn it off.

Personally, I've had some times of anxiety in my life, but even when things are good, I still like the positivity that the Moose stimulates in me.

One of the more recent additions to the Moose is a plugin to help people who want to stop smoking.

This task is tricky, the words “smoke” and “smoking” must be avoided, because the subconscious mind ignores “stop/don't”.

Instead, the Moose refers to “cigarettes/tobacco/nicotine”, but never says “smoking”. There are positive and negative ways to build sentences, and the Moose has more positives than negatives.

Turn this plugin off, unless you are really committed to stopping smoking.

Here's an example of a ‘positive’, using Pride as the stop smoking topic.

So yes, I'm a real doctor, Steven B. Halls, MD, FRCPC, a retired radiologist in Canada, as well as a software developer, and the Moose has been a long-term project.

To dispel a concern, the Moose is not annoying.

The Moose's benefits come from daily use, which is only possible if the Moose is always friendly and never annoying.

In the video above, the Moose mentions 3 reasons:

1. The Moose never asks questions.
2. The Moose never blocks your view, it jumps out of the way.
3. The Moose's speaking can be Shhh'ed.

And there are a lot more reasons, for instance,

• Never repeating: All movements and speech are ‘live’ and random.
• The Moose won't talk if you are actively typing or doing mouse work.
• The Moose doesn't talk too much. Less is more.
• Fades in, speaks, then disappears. Not constantly visible.
• From years of Moose experience, I've coded good pacing and limits.
