Empathy in 60 Seconds

[shadeslate]

The face at 0:00 looks awesome!

[LadyMomply]

I liked the video.. I feel victimized.

[tulleuchen]

I already clicked, I hope you have empathy with my channel as well!

[jatt92rs]

i thought this guy was hutch...

[pokalotasmot]

@jatt92rs LOL

[aholt497]

@aholt497 The father as in being happy that he bought the ring

[aholt497]

Ex when I see a father living off of retirement invested on getting his daughter a wedding ring I imagine how he would feel if she took the ring and threw it out te backyard and force him out of her house.and it makes me sad.I look at it that way instead of """mirroring the emotions I think I resided my brain for that(I hope)

[rico46davis]

This lad knows some shit, he is not the next Dr Rama though.

[lsdgod]

lol

[jdee1995]

Subscribed :D

[PoNNoXD]

Hutch? :P

[swootwapa]

esapekka is finnish i think :D

[fishermanryan]

Why don't I feel a bit sad when I see others sad? Like I don't even care but I'm not a selfish person... Amazing explaination though and I'm super happy to know why yawning is contagious :D

[arsenedevos]

Thumbs up if you never saw a video with a 357 like/dislike ratio befor this one.

[goaliedude32]

athenes theory of everything in 60 seconds for the next video?

[nanobot265]

Hey! If thats all true... That could explain why androids in "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" cant feel empathy. They don't have mirror neurons...

[Dylanownsguitarhero]

Have an honest question for you.

How come if you think about yawning you yawn? D:

[UcantResistClicking0]

I would subscribe but I am already subscribed! Go ahead, check!

[pepi560]

so thats why you have to be confident in pickups

[thamasteroneill]

I do have empathy problems not missing it... I like my brain non remote-controlled thank you kindly. (I have a diagnose so im not just kidding...)

[TheOfficialDPRK]

I have an empathy problem I was abused now I can't click like

[GladiatorKirion]

So are you saying if i watch athene play wow... I will become as good as him?

[BODYLIKEBOOM08]

Is this why my mom raised her arm this morning when she watched me put on my deodorant ?( as if she was going to put it on herself) lol

[frostyuk2007]

Nice, very well said. Would you agree or disagree that empathy is a learned behaviour?

[squashfreak9999]

Dear Dean, can you please make a video on whether or not you can have a successful relationship with a girl/guy if your best friend previously dated her/him? It would really help me out. thanks

[CemelDosce11]

why are you so smart

[SirBser]

i won't live long enough to care. life is fucked up from the getgo.

[estaff29]

@SatanicFuneral I guess no one gives a fuck... #lmao

[SatanicFuneral]

i don't think your theory about empathy is correct, dr Einstein. when i see people sad i'm ALWAYS happy! you know why i chose this username SatanicFuneral? because i like to go on RIP videos and mock the family of the deceased hahaha i just can't get enough of it

[SirBser]

@SatanicFuneral It's cause your a psychopath... Don't worry you're not missing out much though. lol

[XxPsychoholicxX]

Everytime someone would hurt themselves i start laughing. I know its not funny and all that, but i can never control it. thanks for clearing it up for me.

[dawarriormaster]

Wait soo in a sense if some1 were to learn how to control their own mirror neurons and be able to do the same for another person would that be called mind control?

[mandyroxurworld]

A few minuets ago, I discovered your videos. now I am addicted. I thank you! =D

[sovietserb]

why are you so smart!

[jkenn184]

And this is why pornography is so popular.

[cinnamonlink]

I am really enjoying your videos, I am supposed to be sleeping (I have a class tomorrow) and yet I cannot stop clicking for more of them..and yay for mirror neurons! ^^

Keep up the video making! (and I think you are very cute btw!) :)

[AnnaLang17]

I like how you simplified it. you're awesome!

[thomasimon]

I have a question: Why do Belgians make funnier tv-shows than the Dutch?!

[pHishr2]

how is a nuraun thing spelled?

[gurkis35]

This was something I heard in Athenes Theory of Everything. Mirroring or something.

True theory anyways.

[CreedenceB]

what the fuck ur accent is making me angry!

[jeeluhh]

The neurons that are activated by watching another person do something are called mirror neurons. Just a tid bit of information for you.

I would also like to add that one cannot empathize with another unless they, themselves have at one time experienced that emotion. Take people with Alexthymia. They are incapable of empathizing with others, because they cannot express emotions from an internal standpoint, they only know how to mimic the physical expressions of an emotion.

[woodyfly]

Serial killers must be missing these neurons.

[okletsbeoriginalnow]

You are a sexy man. No homo :D. Or maybe a little if you want.

[Terdmissle9]

Is this why people say that people are prone to violence when playing violent video games?

[MartinTheL33t]

Good for me, I was already subbed to your channel :D

[coppurt]

Darnit. Clicked like just because he told me to.

[BlazexFuryy]

That was the most. epic. fucking. "BOOYAH"

[NedTheDread]

So empathy would play into collective human consciousness.

[kingamz]

very good info man....u hav a wide variety of youtube talent:P gj

[clockekagnaz]

so if i see a pedophile enjoyin' his "home videos" i feel the same way he does?

[GruntGroove]

yeah a video on music and it's effect on the brain would be nice!

[ROlSDUMONDE]

Empathy is also trying to feel what the other person feels by remembering in your life similar things that happened to you. Empathy can be automatic by mirror neurons OR it can be produce by thinking just like i said. In our confused society automatic empathy doesn't work very well ( wars poverty,etc...)

[srypWned]

rly great stuff man - You break down complex perception in neuroscience so everybody can understands it ;D

I also read a lot about it because its a really interesting field of science ;)

Keep it up! thumps up and subscribe for you !!

[BreakFree991]

love the ending

[johnnyr802]

im just saying.. its NOT MORNING!! EVAR!! say hi or yo or something like that :P

[Razzfazz87]

Sooo.. the new youtube put this in my "uploaded" box although I never friended or subscribed to this channel of his..

Dont you just like how youtube knows exactly what you want? well if it had empathy it would feel my dick unter my notebook that is on my lap atm and would open youporn and friends..

Oh well, my laptop misses empathy neurons

[DwarfShaman]

Clicking like! I DON'T HAVE EMPATHY PROBLEMS!

[TheCrazysamt]

YO THIS IS ATHENISM! YAAAAY! haha :)

[MrIonization]

also an interesting look on why people with brain damage or personality disorders can't relate to other people

[itsharem]

DAMN DEAN! you so fucking cool!

i got empathy with you, and subscribed for few monthes ago! you so cool.

[CleverDjembe]

@Gremitza

I'm curious. What do you mean?

[DeanLeysen]

@CleverDjembe a proper video on my genitals would definitely require more than 60 seconds.

[annasiembab]

@DeanLeysen :) Hah, and panoramic shot, I bet :)

[Hoobes1]

haha, with only 2 dislikes so far, it looks like your video worked ^^

[mrbluenun]

2) ...... case what is happening to that 'other' person, happens to themselves?

BTW. I wanted to write "Psch-ee' there but could not recall how to spell it or find it spelled properly.

I like these 60 second do-dar, so please continue...... ! Thanks.

mrbluenun

[mrbluenun]

Hi Dean,

And if I may so so, Empathy very succinctly described!

Empathy I 'like', sympathy I am not sure about. Empathy to me means an understanding, of a usually illness situation. And so that Empathising person in kind of going what you are going through, maybe from Past experiences?

Sympathy as I see it tends to be more in their own brian and perhaps 'Psyche' and so less knowing and understanding, and maybe also a little worried for their own self, in > > >

[DeanLeysen]

@mrbluenun yup, well technically speaking empathy is just the ability to feel what others feel and is pretty much a prerequisite for sympathy. Sympathy is not only feeling or knowing what they feel, but caring for it and wanting to help.

[Thiagarajah1]

@DeanLeysen

I thought empathy has a much higher order of sensitivity and desire to understand what others are feeling or experiencing and willing to extend help. Sympathy, on the hand, is more an expression of feeling sorry over the consequences or effects. A boss who is under pressure from above to sack a staff blames it on redundancy. How would you describe his feelings - sympathy or empathy ?.

[loco320]

@DeanLeysen dude.......... big fan of both your channels! BIGGEST GANGSTER and one of the most well spoken on youtube......... a reply would make my week! :D

[Rushedmind]

@mrbluenun you are wrong, sorry.

[TheycallmeDecoy]

Do a video on why humans do the things they do!

[mrs1man]

hmmm. so could one say...somehow use other people's empathy to get a girl to like them? heh. how would that work? :)

[mslice3000]

New Zeitgeist is out, it's a MUST SEE. Oh and Dean, AWESOME vids!

[martilonius]

these are great dean keep them coming,,,And yes this is the same thing my mom said to furious last night

[aznguy11111]

omg furious. u made me like this. lol

[zouph]

Nice one! keep it up, do something about "fake" somebody being fake meaning... blablaablabla just do what you do best

[STARPHROST]

I don't mirror others, I just use others as my mirror...you know...just so my hair is in the right place :P ...kidding. "LIKE"ing the vid btw :D

[nightwingxl]

holy shit... i'm a med student with an interest for psychiatry\psychology ... i'm amazed at how you explain things better than most books in 60 seconds.. you rock!!!

[XMrCerealX]

Topic: Attraction ? :D

[Cod4MastaDrPoocube]

Whats your profession or occupation? you seem to know a lot about psychology/science.

[monkeynuggetman]

I would really enjoy it if you would do a video on what it means to exist. I'm not totally sure if that could be answered in such a straight forward manner because of all of the topics it pertains to but I would be interested to hear what you have to say about it.

[M1ntberrycrunch]

60 seconds about love, what is needed to love someone (or something? O_o)

[Empry]

Btw the topic suggestor is from Finland and the name is Esa-Pekka. :P

[iEsaP3kka]

@Empry yes indeed I am :)

[sam10469]

should go longer than 60 seconds or make more vids lol

[swords13639]

1 dislike? FFFFFUUUUUUUUU....

[steveB3194]

talk about anxiety in your next one plzz

[steveB3194]

take about anxiety in your next one plz

[BonneBreaker]

one person has empathy ... problems ... or something...

[toktokk666]

Can you convince your sister to take her shirt off in her videos like you do every so often?

[Jul0rB0xx0r]

Hey Daan :) could you make a video about depressions? I think it would be quite interesting to know about ;)

[rogerkeays]

I like the mirror neuron stuff but i'm not buying the survival of the species idea.

[Vailonlol]

60 seconds on paranoia.

[zidanezidane69]

60 seconds on shyness.

[Gamecardgenerator312]

How do you know so much about everything in 60 seconds.

[FLAMEUGT]

The last few seconds made my day, hahaha.

[carmenleon41]

to the one dislike everyone dislikes u 

[Draqshorul]

60 seconds on pity

[yuji2oo9]

i wanna see those outtakes!

[voltaireguerre]

Sorry but in this one you talk too fast

[kretuan]

Hey Dean, I would really like to see your opinion on NLP/Hypnosis.

Thank you!

[PreciseArrow1]

Mind Fucked

[0file0]

Do Nostalgia :D!

[Alexandru0612]

64-65 seconds.... dude thats not cool ^^ . Anyway i enjoy your vids . Keep it up!

[BroJanek]

You got a new camera? :) Becuse the quality is a lot better:D

[yudy92]

you should make videos longer.. talk about more things maybe. its interesting :)

[UnderTheRoseX]

explain : being afraid , and what happens in the brain if you are afraid.

goeje filmpjes btw , heb veel bijgeleerd.

[lub094]

@GirlCraft ahahhaah nice one

[tsirahxuan]

1 person who unliked this video has no empathy.

[ext4zy]

1 guy has some empathy problems

[TheLionsDenNews]

Makes sense. Comedies are always so much funnier when you watch them with somebody else.

[bf2pownzorz]

I notice that a lot of what you talk about is very similar to the topics discussed in Athenes theory of everything.

Is there a reason behind this or merely a coincidence?

[DeanLeysen]

@bf2pownzorz it's actually a coincidence, I was planning to do a video on this for a long time. :)

[Redmar555]

i need a gangsta b*tch

[Freekietime]

FFS WHO DISLIKED

[mondalin]

Unsubscribed !!!

[chase362]

You rock

[ACHolyWarzx]

You should do a vlog on Apathy

[onnalol]

@ pappafly Me too :D

[iHaveTwitches]

i just like before the video starts. i know it will be good as soon as i click it.

[Owwwwie]

you should make vids like this for every part of the documentary :)

[pappafly]

Hey Furious,

I would like to suggest a video, how music affects the brain. Thanks!

[mrbluenun]

@pappafly Hi,

You may have an 'empathy' problem. This is Dean. OGFurious is on another channel.

BUT................. I like your idea! Thanks.

mrbluenun

[andrewsfoot]

@pappafly over here we call him dean or L-DAWG for short



[bigandydarien]

0 people like... wait.. no one dislikes this video... and for good reason!

[illicitphantom]

focus for next topic : is intelligence environmental or genetic?

[vseslav1]

Oh, so that's why I like to watch people play games more than I like playing games myself

[Jihazak]

stress next subject!! I like your clips btw ;)

[dragonxx651]

Do one on why people are shy.

[asm0diel]

I can remember my biology teacher from highschool telling that there is no such thing as "thinking about the species" but there is just "thinking about your own genes"... what do you think about this :D

in terms of thinking ^^

[IntoxicatedUchiha]

I can Athene and his Boyfriend Furious back... :( 

[ODiTee]

Lol, loved the ending... Hahahaha.

[BreakfloorNerd]

rage!

[tyler1leboss]

next one: Lacan in 60 seconds!

[rihis39]

hey, great vid. mayby you can make a vid about emphatic neurons?

[MrPatrickzen]

Damn it! I was suppose to write a real serious comment about my empathy problem, but now you just think Im a douchebag and I didnt click the like button! :( but I did! 

[Rellik428]

I think conformity would be quite a good topic to cover, awesome video btw

[FatTonyCologino]

Developed apathy due to constant frustration ...no i don't want to talk about it lol

[Dookiii]

dont call me "internetz" -_-

[1990kurder]

Please DeanLeysen, can you put subtitels on too? You speak to fast for my kurdish brain to follow, speaking 4 different language can be kinda hard.

[SuicideChtivi17]

This makes me think alot of the documentary of your brother x)

See what other people doing and your brain reacting to it the same why as doing it yourself, that is..

[TARMSPRACKAROLOF]

I'll try again X) you could talk about shyness and how to get over it ;D

[iKhazModan]

Hey Dean, nice video. By the way, what did you think of Athene's new documentary/video?

[rowerss]

DEM! I have to always watch these 3 times to understad something! Dean, make subtitles and talk slower! why you need to make such compact videos!?

[Terkel1994]

@BJJANDKARATE Go watch the documentary of Athene

[Terkel1994]

The neuron was directly taken from ATHENE'S THEORY OF EVERYTHING!!!

[antwanjay]

Whats the difference between pity and genuine niceness?

[Protectionzz]

Is depression anything for you to hang up in the christmas tree?

[keefeholdstock]

dean, do you agree with the term same difference? please enlighten and thumbs this up so he does a video on this :) @!£$!@$!@$!@!

[ProjectEndure]

Good vid. With all the mirror neurons, imagine how frucked up it is making us when we watch a war film or play a war-based first-person shooter...

[vipersrules]

I wish the vlogs were longer xD

[ABONESR]

when you keep saying 60 seconds, I wish you stick to that.

is there a distance-time relativity that makes your vlog longer? ... oh my neurons hurt now !! arrghh

[DeanLeysen]

@ABONESR well, minus intro and outro the actual explanation pretty much is 60 seconds :)

[dafmak339]

@DeanLeysen well, 73 seconds :P

but who's counting?

[pappafly]

@ABONESR You shouldn't complain, if anything I would like longer videos. Because they are so awesome of course.

[TazBazMagic]

why do other people yawn when someone in the yawns first?

[Enion11]

loved it Dean, maybe comfortable behaviour (f.e. not going to vote because it's easier to just complain about it and wait)

[Littral]

A nice thing would be if you explained how you remember things, and what happens in your brain when you think about that memory :D

[firejragon]

Can you try doing a video about jobs?

how to handle having a crappy job

[kyofan2052014]

a good 60 second topic is hate please do it =) ps ( the way you prononce this user is key- yo -fan and then the numbers

[FornicateMinors]

Sucks having autism. Nan died recently, had to act sad.

[EliulFTL]

HOLY SHIT I THOUGHT THIS WAS HUTCH.

[Kennethalmighty]

So dictators like Hitler lack in mirror neurons. Then what makes people follow them?

[DeanLeysen]

@Kennethalmighty could've been many things, but ironically it is true indeed that people who mirror less tend to be more attractive, more alpha and more followed by others

[matman16]

@DeanLeysen Oh man, in personality tests in the past I've always come out extremely high on empathy. I guess I need to man up.
