Yeah....no, looking online thats just pseudoscience and no longer used. Not everyone does the same things the same way, just as not everyone thinks the same way, or even think at all.
It never applied to everyone in the first place. Usually has never equated to always.

I noticed throughout Harris' interview with CNN, that she kept looking down; as she was answering the scripted questions; as if she herself was reading a script.

Where do you suppose the teleprompter was hidden from camera view?

I don't think she had a teleprompter. That was her usual self. 18 minutes is a lot for her....and it didn't go well.

She does that thing where she starts talking as if she has no actual point or response in mind and the words themselves become this sort of pseudo poetic sophistry that continues to go on in service of each previous word and to the detriment of each following words until not only does the listener (or reader lol) give up on any sort of coherent substantive answer forming but also they can't really recall correctly what the question even was even if it was some sort of softball fluff like "what will you do on day 1?" which arguably has no wrong answer and is instead just friendly warm up to get her to relax....

What did you ask again? Something about a teleprompter?

That's also part of eye reading science. Looking down displays lack of confidence, nervousness, embarrassment, they're hiding something etc.

Ehhh....

I wouldn't put too much stock in those things.

That’s a possibility. They knew they were in a friendly environment so they knew nothing would be asked that would shed a bad light.

I thought everyone knew that those questions are cleared beforehand.

If you're doing a "puff piece"....and this was a puff piece....you're going to have the questions cleared beforehand.


Remember that?

Puff piece. You haven't answered any questions. Come on our show, answer some questions, and you can even bring the questions you want to answer.....

I think it’s more a lack of confidence.
That's not a desirable quality for a leader, with an administration that is picking fights with Putin (who is in control of, by far, the world's greatest nuclear weapons arsenal), and his ally Xi Jinping, who controls by far, one of the world's largest populations.

I read her bizarre unhinged laughter as a tell for her insecurity, like when she was asked what she would do for the refugees created by this administration's war with Russia.

So Where was the Teleprompter?​

Carry on consoling yourselves, Republican supporters! This snide thread has pretty well run its course of denigrating Harris. We shall see in the inevitable polls how she was received by voters. Republicans must be worried.

Speakers often use teleprompters, though there is little to suggest that Harris did on this occasion. There is not much mileage in that 'science of the eyes' or relying on an earpiece. She did the job without dropping a catch or fumbling a pass. It was just what was needed, not spectacular but mainly giving Trump nothing.

The teleprompter, the looking down all the time, and the earpiece theories are fun to discuss. But really it seems pretty obvious it was just scripted and rehearsed.

I don't think there was a teleprompter ... I do think she was given the questions ahead of time.

There are several reasons a person may look down when talking

Submission
Shyness
Nervousness
Thinking
Disinterest
Intimidation

Sometimes, when someone is avoiding eye contact, it can also be a submission of guilt.

We shouldn’t presuppose the reasons or that there was a teleprompter.

well with trump we've seen what happens when you don't have good material, people walk out and get bored by a 2 hour grievance tour.
People take off before all kinds of events end to beat the traffic jam rush.
