OMFG, I cant take people on youtube complaining about how little they learned in school, Maybe you shouldnt have been a lazy stoner and paid the fuck some attention. Perhaps you could even comment intelligently on a TED video
My two cents and Lacan's take on essentialism: Lacan's object a refers to the object-cause of desire: that which is in the object more than the object and which makes us desire it in the first place. It alludes to the originally lost object (the missing element that would resolve drive and "restore" fulfilment) and, at the same time, functions as an embodiment of lack; as a loss positivised.
You can probably tell if a person is either an essentialist-snob, or a scientific-materialist, by asking them what they think about sci-fi matter transporters (eg: Startrek).
@michael616joaquin nazis and winners should not be put in the same sentence. the nazis were defeated. study some history and then start to refer to people who brought tons of pain and disaster to millions of their fellow human beings. the only reason i can think for your huge respect for them is that you share their ideas, something that, at least, doesn't flatter you. so please keep your ideas for yourself and away from channels or videoclips that aim to make the world a better place.
@michael616joaquin i will never claim that i've read enough. learning never stops. but at some point you begin to have your point of view and critisise the world and events around you by your criteria. the nazis (and please correct me if i'm wrong) imagined a world were only their race(the aryan race) would exist. that seems to me a bit selfish. I, on the other hand, imagine a world were everyone can live in peace and be equal, regardless of their race, colour, or anything that separates them.
@fanosth well no that's not correct and is the result of propaganda..Hitler didn't want a world war, that's a fact. All he wanted to do was reverse the Versailes Treaty to re-Arm Germany to their normal capacity. Expand it's borders to pre-1914 zones and become the manufacturing centre of Europe which is why the AutoBahn was started. He also wanted to remove Jewish (zionist) influence from Banking and politics in Germany. There's a lot people don't know.
@michael616joaquin i find your last comment a bit cynical. there are much better ways to 'remove bad influences' than a holocaust!! you can't justify the murders of millions of people in the name of manufacture!! and the concentration camps are not a propaganda! they are their to remind all mankind what nazism, fascism and nationalism are capable of... so please don't try to defend ideologies that brought so much pain to the world. at least not here..
@isura7 When you meet the one you love, you can feel from your heartbeat; when you lose the one you love, you can feel your heart tearing up. Modern people are used to depend on mind, how to earn money, how to be successful.....but losing the ability to feel and love. If you would like to know further, you may refer to the theories of Buddhsim or other religions that teach you how to be mindfulness and love :)
This is so crazy, and it really is true. Just like created gems versus the real gemstone. The real gem took hundred to thousands of years to form into the structure it is today from more basic elements, but is chemically indifferent to a created gem. The created gems are cheaper, have better clarity, are more flawless, and yet are less valued to the average person.
Great talk. I feel like this is one of those things most people know intuitively but haven't pondered enough to have the idea really sink in and incorporated into their worldview.
TED videos are simply one of the best videos that there are on youtube. A 16 min TED video feels like a 3 min video and I guess, the reason for that is - It teaches me things that I might have never known before and makes me think further.
I'm saying MY statement was sarcastic. The irony being that *I* don't finding an assault on a world leader particularly funny, and it's kinda shameful that other people would. Sure, he was a bad president, but he was a president, ya know.?. I don't see why people can't grow up at least enough to have SOME respect for the highest authority figure in a country.
@yobhsiFehT You seem to have missed the point. What was funny was the nonsequitur of what made the shoes famous combined with the timing in the talk. Anyone with a sense of humor would enjoy the joke, regardless of their opinion of Bush... getting defensive about it tells us more about you than the joke did about the audience.
I didn't miss the point, I simply didn't comment on the point. I commented on what I thought was the LESS obvious point that people seem to be in the habit of mocking people who, despite doing things that obviously reduce credibility, have not forfeited the respect due them as leaders. That's all I'm getting at.
And I'm not sure what you think you know about me know from a couple YouTube comments, anyway, but let's just move on w/ our lives.
@jonjescabar Well, the main goal of school in grades 1-10 is to get you ready to be a worker of any kind and be a functioning member of society, not to teach you about world, that's just a side-effect. Though many would claim differently, if you look at the school system, that's how it's set up.
Most of the material in this talk are not news to me, but put togheter in the talk it shed some light on a few things.
how much would you pay to be a creeper and get someone's sweatshirt? ... you can break in their house and get it for free *the more you know* and that way you arn't encouraging thievery
@Saesegral You have a higher threshold for pain when you're aroused, so you'd have to get her to that point first. Also, it would be advised that one refrain from convincing or coercing anyone to do anything if they're not comfortable with it, regardless of psychological studies. When it comes to sex, that could be referred to sexual assault or rape. Just a thought!
Why did this guy get a standing ovation? The concepts he talked about have been known for some time now, and they were things that I have already figured out from experience, and probably a lot of other people too. Not impressed with this video.
@Charles33333 Thumbs straight down. How is that any different from all the other TED talks? Or.... are you making some kinda originality in-joke? If so, I apologize for the pre-emptive thumbs down; if not, tough.
@watisthis99 are you attacking me? i don't see where you found your basis to label me those things. my comment was simply pointing out the speaker's tendency to display the human condition as an insatiable consumerism.
I love this video, I've enjoy it and I've watched twice ...but when I've search for Paul Bloom and found Why Do We Like What We Like? I realized something...It's weird but I will now like to give this video 4 stars (not 5)
I would totally get that forgery at 03:25. Why? Not because it looks like the real thing, but because for years people thougt it was. The most interesting thing about a painting is its story, i think. And that story is just great.
@BrimHawk to understand why every speech receives a standing ovation, you must understand the context in which the speech is presented. The audience at a TED conference is not your typical demographic off the street, but educated passionate professionals from all different skill sets, that are hand picked to be part of the audience as well, everyone in the audience is there to give a presentation. It also costs 5,000 dollars to attend.
@natedejuggla Seriously? Because the 'educated, passionate, professionals' learn to applaud standing whilst 'typical' people applaud whilst seated? I do not understand your explanation...
@NatSimTho well, their in a super good mood just to be there, so something thats okay to us sitting at home is alot more enjoyable to them since they are in an elevated mood, and not EVERY speech gets a standing ovation, alot do, because alot of them ARE outstanding, but i feel like giving a standing ovation is not only to say "hey, that was a really good speech" but rather also, "hey, you are very passionate about your field of expertise, i respect that, and i'll show u by standing an clapping
@kontekzt If you like intellectually stimulating videos, try typing "mit ocw" after the name of a subject you like in a youtube search... there's a good chance you'll get an entire semester of lectures on the topic from MIT. A good one to start with is "Godel MIT OCW".
Hilarious! Poor Goering finally discovered what EVIL is (someone tricked him) so he killed himself. LMAO! Great story.
This is actually a terrific expose' of Human VANITY! (My pleasure depends mostly my ego inflating pre-conceptions and ultimately on my EGO gratification. "Vanity of vanities; all is vanity.")
Sadly, his later comments about 'originality' sounded like lame rationalizations.
my friend tried to tell me he could taste the difference between fiji water and other waters. so i bought some fiji water and a bottle of dasani water. i filled both glasses with the dasani water and told him to tell me which one was the fiji water. he pointed to one and i told him they were both dasani and i laugh. but he still thinks he can tell the difference.
@kiddhitta You are right. There is barely a difference between those two, because they are well purified. But there is definitely a difference between Fiji or Dasani and those cheap disgusting ones in those shitty bottles.
a painting is never merely colors and forms...though those may be the only things that move you; empathy is to the soul (story) as colors to the eye (painting) as reason to the mind.
Our preconceptions can actually alter perception, the placebo effect being a form of that process. This topic is discussed at length in Dan Ariely's book Predictably Irrational, which details experiments into the phenomenon. It's a great read if you're into this kind of thing.
Is it possible, in the case of the Street Corner violinist, that some people simply didn't have the time to listen to him? It's different taking in music when you have time, as opposed to when you're going somewhere. Or that some people simply refuse to give money to musicians on the street? I know some people resent that kind of performance and don't give money based on principle, not on the quality of the music.
@nikanj And of course, the 'Yale' label plays the role of a legitimizing psychological factor that adds authenticity to what he says, and you experience it as more interesting. Listen to what I have to say, I study at Stanford (actually).
Excellent! This also exposes different people's personalities. I know hardly anyone who has kept their babies first boots. But if I was there when they threw them in the bin I'd have thought seriously about fishing them back out. Probably with an idea of giving them to the people 20 years later.
You know for most people this is right i remember my friends talking about fake or real tits(they hate the fake ones), in the end i said I dont care if i can touch the they are REAL TO ME
@Hofsteder You realize that Pollock just pours paint onto paper.
It's not like he spent 50 hours becoming a photoshop god.
As for modern recording equipment, you're right in saying it's much better than what used to be available.
That's why modern music is quite incredible.
Ignore what is popular, there are hundreds of fantastic underground artists in every genre who really push the boundaries of music. I'm into the strange mechanics of music, studied too much bach. Ron Thal - Orf. Musaaac 2.0

Is it possible, in the case of the Street Corner violinist, that some people simply didn't have the time to listen to him? It's different taking in music when you have time, as opposed to when you're going somewhere. Or that some people simply refuse to give money to musicians on the street? I know some people resent that kind of performance and don't give money based on principle, not on the quality of the music.

@nikanj And of course, the 'Yale' label plays the role of a legitimizing psychological factor that adds authenticity to what he says, and you experience it as more interesting. Listen to what I have to say, I study at Stanford (actually).

Excellent! This also exposes different people's personalities. I know hardly anyone who has kept their babies first boots. But if I was there when they threw them in the bin I'd have thought seriously about fishing them back out. Probably with an idea of giving them to the people 20 years later.

@Hofsteder You realize that Pollock just pours paint onto paper.
It's not like he spent 50 hours becoming a photoshop god.
As for modern recording equipment, you're right in saying it's much better than what used to be available.
That's why modern music is quite incredible.
Ignore what is popular, there are hundreds of fantastic underground artists in every genre who really push the boundaries of music. I'm into the strange mechanics of music, studied too much bach. Ron Thal - Orf. Musaaac 2.0
