this video is bs durr the reason the president is holding his hands in his lap is because his penis feels vulnerable when sitting next to joseph stalin wtf and they show people are taking classes to learn what it means lol suckers
Watched first 15 minutes and couldn't stand it anymore. Most of this is heavy speculation and blunt rationalization.
As humans we have a very strong tendency to look for cause and effect relationship between events. In this case, you have body language experts doing what's called "mind reading". They have no idea what's going in people's heads, yet they throw around statements like "he's nervous"/"trying to assert dominance" and then looking for body language that supports their assumption.
It would only be valid if somehow they got the data what was really going on minds of those people which they obviously don't have.
Also the 7% rule was as far as I'm concerned debunked as bad science and considering this documentary uses it as opening statement says a lot about the validity of it.
You'll love this guy then. Dave Dobson is the real deal, funny fucking guy too. I highly recommend any of his beach tapes or fun shop recordings. He literally blown my mind. He talks a lot about "other than conscious communication" he also developed it.

You're looking at it from the angle that people can literally read minds which you're right, that's silly to think it's even possible. I think the take away here is that people communicate unconsciously and often times peoples verbal and non-verbal communication become incongruent, which can give off different signals. This can be a very powerful tool if you know how to use it correctly in a real life conversation. Eban Pagan, very often uses these conversational techniques in his sales videos.
Watched the first few minutes. Bookmarked it to watch it some night this week when I have more time. I absolutely love documentaries/studies like this. Interesting stuff, indeed.
You might want to go pick up a few books on body language and read them before you make such drastic conclusions on validity and viability of it.. They even say in this video that each micro-expression isn't necessarily a distinct indicator, it's just a red flag. Enough red flags and you can make a well-educated guess. Is it 100% full proof? Absolutely not. That's why we don't throw people in prison because of their micro-expressions.
Thanks for the video. He made some interesting points. I'll have to check his other stuff out.
