March 30th, 2009 | Posted in Uncategorized

I’m currently sitting on a hillside somewhere in Tuscany with a rather slow internet connection but thought it was worth a quick note to highlight a post on a (former) Amway Diamond’s blog – Doug Wead, Amway Adventure. He gives a personal example of the Amway Internet Echo Chamber effect and how falsehoods  spread by [...]

Insight and Responsibility

January 7th, 2009 | Posted in Amway North America, Commentary, Yager InterNET

My last post about Amway Global Accreditation and Bob McEwen’s speech at Yager Internet’s conference has sparked a great deal of discussion, both on the comments here, on Amway Talk, and elsewhere.

March 14th, 2008 | Posted in Commentary, Critics of Amway

As the 1990s came to a close more and more people began to connect to the internet. The internet is an amazing resource for information. You can, like I did when writing these articles, find out in moments all about the amygdala. You can check for train timetables in Stockholm, or, quite literally look at [...]

Deciding to join Amway

March 11th, 2008 | Posted in Commentary

Located deep down in the more primitive regions of our brain is a small almond shaped structure known as the amygdala. The amygdala is part of the limbic system and is deeply tied to our emotional responses to situations. What does this have to do with Amway and the internet? Well, in the last few [...]
