Blake explicitly targets building three-standard-deviation-right behavior in trust-building: finding nuanced topics others rarely discuss, and then ensuring his behavioral response (facial expressions, body language, tonality) matches the emotional significance of those topics to create authentic reciprocal connection.

BlakeEvidence Quote
“so for me I always look to have conversations or do things that are like three standard deviations to the right of a bell curve so like if me and you had a conversation for an hour we're bringing up topics that you normally don't have with other people which is going to create a higher level of trust between me and you so I'm looking for more nuanced topics and nuanced areas to draw that conclusion and then to have the mimicking of my behavior to be associated with the excitement for those things”
