  • Wlc To The World Of The Angles ... Your Voice and Your Loves Stays For Ever Whitney ... Your a Spirit Now ...Wlc aboard ... Great Honour To Physical and Spiritual.

  • If the kingdom of heaven is our constant connected oneness equality feelings of no one being greater or lessor than another, who is the 'one' who will tell the millions in harsh poverty behind the walls of poverty the rich create? The world is in migration out of our natural habitat, replaced with a business survival mode co-dependent existence. As living matter, there is no purpose to life, other than amusement of our sensory perception oneness, no matter what purposeful fulfillment we may feel

  • (well), all living matter exists within the confines of the laws of physics that it cannot escape from, laws which are perfect truth, that do not change, not bound by time, so in this light, our true nature is perfect in sight, sound, smell, touch, taste....feeling? Our true nature is really not any different than all living matter life forms, as much as we may egotistically, for whatever reasoning, think...or more accurately, not think so. Heaven is our oneness feelings

  • I am enough

    

  • I've watched and listened to this video more than 20 times. I listen to it every morning. I become different, happier. Thank you Mrs Brown :) .

  • @BlueSappho92 When the video started, I glanced at the comments, and when I saw yours, I went "B.S!" and decided to give it five minutes. Now I can see how you could easily watch this video over 20 times!!! Folks, just give it 10 minutes and you will be totally enthralled. And you'll want to share it when it's finished!!!

  • Its a great pleasure to me, Got the permission to talk under dear Dr. Brene's shadow and the Team, And anybody who reads me. The pleasure is all mine. I created a technique 30 years ago (Sit Ups). You Tube is messaging me, The technique I'm using it for more than 30 years, Is belong to a company.

Thank U.

  • Comment removed

  • Yes, vulnerability is the key to divinity, as a spiritual teacher once told me. But what I now realise is that in itself vulnerability isn't enough. One has to realise how to be here and be present. Without presence we can never heal the shame that lies behind the refusal to surrender. It's also true that there are precious few people who have the courage to accept these simple truths; but that number will grow over time, I believe.

  • Comment removed

  • When we reach to that point, Our Winning Game Is Our Losing Game (E = mc2) ... Minds will be open ...The game begins ... A Game Of Saving ... Human ... A Trip to the Unknown boarder of Life and the Death ...

  • Anybody been sleeping in the Cemetery, Waiting for the Death to be free? Talking to the dead people And walking with the Death? When An advanced Law force you to sign And Facing a license to kill, You will reach there ... Like me ... If your Mission is to save the human ... I asked them to Burn me alive ... A Message to the Machine with no feeling. Human been converted to a Machine with No feeling. Our feeling been under attack ... Is there any way to bring it back? ...

  • If I was Dr. Brene's Patient. I would make her to change her job. Going home and tell to her Mum : Mumi, Mumiii ... I don't wanna be a Psychiatrist any more ... lol ... Why don't U answer me Dear Dr. Brene? Why they forced me to sign in the Mental Hospital?

    Breaking me in Physical, In Spiritual and the Mind ... Why They gave a power to a Gp to kill me on the book front of everybody (While I was dying myself)? License to Kill? ... This Is Who We Are. A Virus Or a Virus In Human?

  • If U try to remember U will Lose. God Bruce is right. Remembering of making Atomic Bomb. E = mc2 ? Albert Einstein Under My Q ... To Destroy The Human and the Planet Earth ... First? God Bruce told us Lots... Everything ... What is Beyond the Legend? A Perfect Mind. A Human ... A God ... Human = God

  • Sign it He said. I can not read anything sir. Everything is bleary in front of my eyes. Lines r moving. I can not concentrate. My mind is some else, I'm In An Ocean Of A Fire. I'm In The War. I see everything is burning. I see myself is Burning. I'm Under Medication. What is this U want me to sign it? ... Sign It ...He Said ... Read It Later ... Getting Signature from a Disturbed Mind in the Mental Hospital??? ... This is Our Advanced Law of Our Advanced Life ... Happy birth day baby ...

  • The real enjoyment is (Huge Enjoyment): Helping somebody, Taking the pain of somebody. Not for him (He will give it back to somebody else, To a Human), For Ourselves. Do we see this? This Extra Ordinary Is Hidden, Why? Who is covering this? Who is against Us? Their bring me smile, When telling me, Human life is a random. That Mind tells Us to tell to ourselves, We are Nobody and Living in Nothing and Nothing is back there!!! What Do u think? Nothing is back there? ...

  • The power against Us is a Mind... (A giant mind) ... That mind is controlling Us. Controlling the Human to not to know... The Hackers, Our kids, They can control your keyboard. U know what is this? U got a bit idea, Ur on line, Should know ... Virus Everywhere... Been made by Human? Is that what u think? Its time to think back. A power is doing this. Its scary ... See my body shape in almost 70 years old. U can C all the lines in my body, This is not a knowledge? I know what I'm talking about.

  • I don't look at any Human's Eyes to give hard time ... This is a Gate to save the Human ... Our Mission ... Help (be Dami, Ya Ghalami, Ya Darami, Ya Ghalami) ...

  • Darwin: Man is a Super Animal - Hitler: I am the Super Man - Freud: We are all Super Egos ... What do you say? Who are We??? ... I Say: Human is a Perfection Creation, Must Pray To Human ... I pray to you, Even if you take my life ...

  • That thing makes us to make mistake, 6 more mistake to cover up. We are sinking into an ocean of a fire ... Human is killing Human and destroying everything around. Brother doesn't know brother any more!!! End of the world been told is the end of the Humanity. And we are reaching ... Close ... Almost there ...

  • The irony here is that by doing this presentation she is controlling her newly found, deep vulnerability.

  • There Is No Way Out For Human, Unless believe there is sort of power exist. And that power doesn't let Us to know, Who Is It ... War, killing, Hunger, Homeless, Crying Children ... Is this really Us? Is This Human? Think About It, Please. Our Mission Is To Save The Human. To Save Ourselves ... W've Got Long way To Go....

    Open Ur Mind ... Know It ... It With Life. * It * Is Alive ... See It. God Bruce Was Talking About That * It *... God Bruce Lee ... (Was - Is) ...

  • If I were older I would have her as an awesome lady friend

  • To summarize: Be open, don't worry, be grateful, not controlling.

    Well gee, I had never heard any of those sentiments before.

    HOW do you do any of that again?

  • This Is What We (Human) Learnt (As U said Professor Brene) : We Learnt Vulnerability ... Why? ... Got to Search For The Source ... That's what I'm talking about ....

  • Human Must Have Only One Mind. A Mind Of A Perfection ... Whole The Universe Will Be Saved ...

  • We need to know in what world they r living in. What is in that doctor's mind (High Graduated) to kill you in the book because of couples of dollars, What that Dollar dose to him? What sort of enjoyment is to be higher than saving a human? A Falls Enjoyment ... (Been Dictated). Its clear, Killing a human (I was Dying) and searching for that Enjoyment .... This is killing the Human. Who Is He Against Us? What is it? Who are we? Are we real? Still Real or living at the past?

  • W've (Human) got long way to go and we r killing ourselves!!!!! Not even reaching to the start. Who we are? A Virus Or a Virus In Human?

  • Albert Einstein Under My Q ... Who told you to reach to E = mc2 Albert? You think that was you? Time to think back ....

  • Something, A sort of power, Is telling to Human to write a program to kill the human ... Search will begin ...

  • I Told To That Killer Advanced Law And The Executor: Ur Allowed To Use A Machine Gun, But I Can, Dodge The Bullet ... In that battle ... The world will see this ... Will this request be approve?

    I'm happy to lose my life to change this deadly law to save the Human.

  • I sent my message, This message: Gladiators were existing in human history and they were real. Ur smart enough to kill a human on the book, Front of everybody. When you suppose to save lives. Lets kill me one more time in a battle. You may get me, But swear to my mother's grave, If you miss. I'll bring you pain. Put you in the wheelchair for the rest of your life, Or your mother will bring flowers to your grave. ( If she is still alive). A Message ....

  • You First Mission Professor Brene: Change that deadly law, Its Against The Human, That's a devil's law. An advanced system gives the power to somebody with 5 - 6 years of study to kill a human on the book and calling him A Doctor!!!! Or change the name of the Doctor to A Body Mechanic. Now U've got to prove Urself if Ur a Doctor. Not A Killer ...

  • Your Mind Is Open My Dear Professor Brene, Your Eyes Is Close. You think I came to you for no reason? U've been chosen for this. To Carry On. To Save The Human.

  • Hit and run Professor Brene?

  • Why don't you come back to me Dear Dr. Brene? Talk and gone? The reality doesn't work like this ....

  • Our problem is acceptance. We want others to accept us and because we cannot get this we will do whatever takes to get this.

  • Yes! The answer to connection IS vulnerability! I know that I am more connected to my husband when we are completely honest and open, leaving nothing in the space, but this is taking it to a whole new level. I am now in the inquiry of, "how can I be more vulnerable in EVERY moment"? Being real and vulnerable is BEAUTIFUL!! I am letting go of "doing it right and perfect" and bringing in more of "just be me." Thank U for going down your own path of vulnerability and sharing your 'research' w/us!

  • EVERYONE should watch this video in it's entirety. It had me LITERALLY in tears on multiple levels of self-realization. It applies to every single person and I promise it will impact to some degree.

  • Awesome

    Grandma Mary

  • What would u do? Listen to this story plz. I became a story teller like Dr. Brene. (Dr. Brene who told u, Ur a story teller? lol). Somebody needed a lift, Pulled over, Got him in. He said: Why ur bleeding? I said the guy before u tried to kill me, (Life and the Death). He said: and still ur doing this!!! .... A way to save. Give Life not to Take Life.

  • Strait Hormuz. If the oil don't pass from that narrow road. Half of the planet earth will freeze. The latest news. Will u imagine how many will die?

  • See ...Even Ur Dying Is Not Up To You .... That's what I'm talking about ...

  • Am I asking too much Dear Dr. Brene? I say: If a law gives the power to a Doctor to kill me on the book, Must give the same power to myself. I'm Asking to be injected to be finished.

  • Find somewhere to die .... Please help me to buy my Grave, To not to transfer my pains to the others. U don't know what I'm talking about, Do u? Have a bath with milk, Enjoy whole ur life. When Human is dying. rn't u a Human? Ur dying and u don't see it. Open Ur Mind.

  • I'm always worried that state of spiritual enlightenment conflicts with the pursuit of self improvement.

  • I watch this one time every day.

  • Dear Dr. Brene, U suppose to be one of the strongest mind in the planet earth. I bet U front of the world, And everything lives on it. U can take my life, And never see any fear on my face. If U don't Start Crying ... Will U Enter?

  • We Believe ... We Think ... We, We, Weeeee ... There is no We, Thousand of years. Millions Said, What r Ur saying now. Did That Work? Nobody Listens ...War, Killing, Hanger, Anger, Homeless, Children's Crying ... There Is Only One Answer ... To save The Human ....

  • Human's Military Law: If You Don't Kill. We Kill You ... Why They Forced Me To See Dead Bodies, Burnt Bodies, Children's Crying?

  • Dear Dr. Brene, Why They Chained My Feet, When I Was Five Years Old Boy? My Q is: Are We Real? Dose Human Exist? A Virus Or A Virus In Human? (A Program by ...) What Is The Mission? To Destroy The Planet Earth First? Who Brought Us To Reach To E = mc2?

  • Dear Dr. Brene, Could U plz tell me, Why An Advanced Law gives a power to a Gp to kill me on the book, Front of everybody, When I needed to see a Doctor to not to die? With the knowledge of, I'm not the fault? While That Gp referred me to see a Psychiatrist Like U? My Q is: To Be Heal, Or To Be Killed?

  • Dear Dr. Brene, Could U plz tell me, Why An Advanced Law forcing a patient to sign when been detained in the Mental Hospital, (Out Of The Mind!!!). This is not against Ur believe of Psychology? Answer me plz. If U've got any answer to answer. Or U r all r only a shadow?

Do you want me to make a hole on him bigger than the black hole? Give him a brief history of pain with the back of my hand? Or forgive him?

  • Pre-viewing: judging from the top comments and the title of the video, i think i'm in for an enlightening 20:50

  • @y3ko86

    "Maybe you too should stick to your deep anime video(s)"

    Did you watch "Aoi Hana"? Believe me, it has a lot more depth than this.

  • Comment removed

  • Jesus said it all w/o research!

    great video--these things need to be said.

  • Jesus tells us to 'Love your neighbor as yourself."-luke 10:24. If you stay true to this philosophy guilt and shame wont be a problem for the future. Putting other's first voids our vulnerability..no need to numb. 18:24 If we had a generation that loved others as their selves we wouldnt need to worry about ourselves.. we would be loved. the message of love is always enticing.. Iv found Christ is the ultimate source for these philosophies, hes said it all before but with one twist..love your God.

  • @grimywise

    "Jesus tells us to 'Love your neighbor as yourself.""

    He also curses whole towns simply for not caring about this preaching, and says people will burn in hell forever simply for not believing in him. I can do without such piffle.

  • This is one powerful talk! Brene Brown is amazing with her honesty and someone I would want as a friend.

  • I love her sense of humor while sharing from her own experience making the wisdom accessible.

    Her timing is like a comedian - I laughed out loud many times! Definitely worth your time if you enjoy inner exploration. 

  • ...I needed to hear this. Thank you, Dr. Brown.

  • I think this woman has deep compassion....I cried at the last just before "I am enough"....I never expected that in a TED talk. She helped me understand I should keep on doing what I am doing. I must also get hold of her writings.

  • Have U ever Hide in a frozen lake in the age of 5? Dear Dr. Brene? One more min. Ur blood ...

  • im crying

  • ive never cried this hard...this is moving...

  • she touches her boob at 10:50

  • Yeah she's a bit over weight. But she has a cute face and us so passionate about what she is saying, all giddily and bubbly. I'd totally have mad passionate sex with her!!

  • @Ramissand *looks at faves* Stick to "Dating Tips for Guys: A Woman's Perspective : How to Guarantee a Girl's Attention" first, before moving onto grown-up women.

  • @iBruceSpirit = Your so superior, funny you were not standing on that stage flexing your muscles, Playboy Bunniesmleft and right

  • "To let ourselves be seen—deeply seen, vulnerably seen. To love with our whole hearts, even though there’s no guarantee. To practice gratitude and joy in those moments of terror. To believe that we are enough. Because when we work from a place that says I’m enough, we stop screaming and start listening—we’re kindler and gentler to the people around us and we’re kindler and gentler to ourselves.”

  • 150 Call in an hour? .... Nobody talks to U, When Ur inside the net, Looks like Ur audience like to laugh .....

  • She writes about these stories in "The Gifts of Imperfection." It's amazing to hear such eloquence from a book author.

  • wow just amazing from my own life experience I agree with this reasearch.

    and beautifully expressed with humour compasion and vunerabilty.

    'we are worthy of love and belonging'

    I am greatfull and appreciative for your post

  • Dr. Brown, thank you for allowing yourself the vulnerability to have done this research, gone through your struggle, created this presentation, and shared it with the world. Many people are a little bit better because of it!

  • Dear Dr. Brene, Ur a Miracle, A magical gift, For the one which is disturbed on the Mind..... thank U ....

  • You Are My Favorite Research Story Teller <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

  • What a brilliant woman!

  • compelling

    

  • Of all the TED talks I ever saw, this was the one I played about fifteen times over. It's a really marvelous piece of research, going from science and psychology to relationships and religion and back again. Deep but no fluff, no vagueness, solid analysis and not a word wasted.

  • I Love the way people like this love learning about life and how they are trying to become better people. its admirable and I wish there were more people in the world like this. keep up the research and keep your vulnerability Brene. I enjoyed your talk and have very much felt what you are talking about.

  • Every time i think about becoming completely vulnerable, i think about what happened to Jesus and the consequence of his complete loving vulnerability and i suddenly no longer want to be vulnerable. i kind of feel like it's dangerous to be vulnerable in a world where you may be the only one in every thousand people who has a "spiritual awakening" like Brene. the numb people hunt for the vulnerable and attempt to make them withdraw, for this is their only source of happiness.

  • Ur One Year turned to Six. Years, Couldn't pass the exams, Dr. Brene?  ... lool

  • I'd like to see what would U do if U were inside The Net, Dear Dr. Brene .... Just don't commit suicide .....

  • Yes Doc, Talking is easy, What about if been break by bunch of a Physical Doctors? To tell u Doctor knows what is doing, Breaking U in Physical, Breaking u in Spiritual and The Mind!!!! Could U face this Dr. Brene?

  • If U can't measure it, It dose not exist!!! Is that what U think? ... Ur Too Far ...

  • @iBruceSpirit What are you on ? Also, she changed that mindset ..... did you not notice  ?

  • I love this... I connected with it

  • I think I need to watch this over and over again.

  • i've watched this like five times... very deep ... i'm inspired how can i find more of her speakings? she so raw to me!

  • It seems there are issues here and you're struggling to face them so you're lashing out at this video. Everything you're saying is evident of this. What you should do, to make yourself feel worthy, is to step back...keep your opinions to yourself and allow others to glean what they can from this video. Don't tear down, but allow growth. You're either part of destructive negativity or part of building positivity in life and you are choosing negativity. Stop being pessimistic and just walk away.

  • @leconfidant I think with logic. 'If you can't measure it, it doesn't exist' this saying is not true when not talking about material.. Think before you write, this has become a joke. You're points are really weak and judging by the shallow way you think i don't find you a smart person. You have not said anything that has made an impact on me. Plz stop trying since you don't have a good point. answer: you use rationality and logic. What the-f has this got to do with this video..? NOTHING!!!

  • This is amazing! Thank you so much I love your speaking style as well

  • I have watched it 3 times. Probably the most important information on my quest for self-healing. I have not felt worthy since 1986 and I am working on it daily and waaaaaallaaaah..... you showed up! Thank you for your very intense work.

    Much Love! I am going to watch this again!

  • This makes me think of, or rather, CONNECT to, so many things... like Bruce Lee's discussion of "truly expressing oneself", Gandhi's devotion to truth rather than consistency... awesome. This should be passed to everyone that everyone knows.

  • That's deep, yo.

  • That was beautifully elucidated. ♥♪

  • Everyone who can relate to this video; everyone who believes they are not worthy, YOU ARE. I promise.

    I'm not.

    lol I laugh but I'm not kidding.

  • POPEHARDBOILED,

    WHY is opinion BULLSHIT??? THAT is why this world is so fucked up!!! THAT is why people think they aren't worthy. That's why people hate vulnerability. It's because NOBODY thinks one another's opinions are WORTHY! It seems you are the one who believes that "if you can't measure it, it doesn't exist."

  • good observations but the conclusion is somehow flawed

  • @SmuraiDem0n Might be a good idea to elaborate on that.

  • I wasn't inspired. I am enough but i can always grow as a person, get in better shape.. Whats the message here? Was the message to not think about the future, because if it was that's dumb. In certain spots in life its good to be vulnerable but in others not. WTF! I don't get it. Seriously sounded like crap to me?!

  • @2lasiiJAkuppi Yep, typical elitist academic bullshit.

  • @twalker294 Sometimes a PhD-holder is an inspiring genius; other times, it's just a lonely-ass overthinking nerd who just decided to stay in school an extra 8-10 years (or more).

  • @2lasiiJAkuppi Her message is that courage isn't knowing you're safe, but maintaining your struggle even when you don't feel safe. She's also saying that there's nothing abstract or wishy-washy about courage, It affects your identity, your happiness, your relationships. It sounds like she's done aimed at objective research and reached interesting findings. Which part annoys you? If it's uninspiring, fine. But if it really was crap, which part did you think was irrelevant or bullshit?

  • @leconfidant It annoyed me how it really was nothing mind-blowing about what she said. But there is 159k views and 1638likes and 55dislikes? Every action has a reaction, what was the message? Still don't get what was so incredible about this and the worst thing is that because of the views/likes it feels like im missing something but i just don't understand what and no one has yet explained something telling me what i missed that would make me realize the ingeniousness of her speech.

  • @2lasiiJAkuppi So 1638:55 against, you're smarter than them, although that is possible. I'm 42, a degree in economics, earn a lot of money, 17 years of Buddhism, I moved to Japan, exhibit my paintings, have 4 lovers... her point is what I would say is THE most important thing I've learned. She just clarified it for me. She's bridged science, art and religion to get to where she is. And I don't know anyone who discusses this stuff who learned without courage and suffering.

  • My guess is you're not smarter or less smart than others. It's not IQ. Probably you've learned that life is about certain facts or some schema which overlooks the every paradoxical nature of choice and the dilemmas which plague human relationships, and makes it all sound simple. As a result you haven't noticed the issues she's addressing are very important, but very difficult to pin down. Without this, it's difficult to be very happy on a regular basis beyond satisfaction, so it's absolute gold.

  • @leconfidant Maybe all the ppl watching this are miserable and i don't understand since i am a happy person. I like to think with logic and i like things to be explained as easy as possible without irrelevant matter and all i heard was irrelevant matter without a strong point. Maybe i just see what you said about courage as commonsense. But can i ask you since you seemed to get the message. Are you happier now after watching this? And why did this make you happier?

  • @2lasiiJAkuppi Did it make me happier? No, it just clarified for me what my happiness is based on. If you didn’t know it, I think it would make you happier for learning it, but I learned this ages ago, by watching old people deal with death and thinking it through. Maybe you learned to accept vulnerability in your own way, but in my experience, this is uncommon wisdom and even when people learn it, it's very difficult to describe it logically and empirically as this woman has.

  • @leconfidant So i watched it again and got her message. But what i noticed was it had flaws in it. Vulnerability is not the only thing leading to happiness, connection is only her philosophy on why we are put here. And she is unfortunately promoting ppl to not get in better shape but to instead embrace the vulnerability and be happy with who you are. You should always be happy with who you are, but i think you should strive to be in good shape and try to become a better person every day.

  • @2lasiiJAkuppi

    I still think you haven't got there, although you're on track. The break point I discern is

    Q) Is life about avoiding suffering and maximising pleasure?

    A) No. Sooner or later, you find suffering is innevitable and in the end, you suffer so much you actually die.

    So then the question changes from

    Q) How much can I avoid suffering and death?

    to

    Q) What am I prepared to suffer and die FOR?

    This isn't wooly thinking, it's hardcore and it moves you from pleasure into Purpose.

  • @leconfidant Accept it everyone is going to die why even think about it. It is impossible to live a life without suffering at some point you cant avoid it but you can try to maximize pleasure. Im gonna try to live as many years as i can and try to avoid stuff that can kill me (use a belt to avoid dying in a car crash) I choose stuff on bases of research and %, for example im not buying a gun since that multiplies the risk of me dying.

  • @leconfidant I think the purpose of live is to repopulate and pass on you're genes (like every other animal on earth) and to make the world a better place for the next generation. That someday ppl will say earth is heaven. I have my own philosophy but this has nothing to do with what she said and why i don't like how she told her message. Im not getting anything out of talking to you so ill leave it here. Still don't think her message was well spoken.

  • @2lasiiJAkuppi Your right - the purpose of an animal (like humans are) is to survive the strugle of life to make sure that your genetic is continued. On a base level that is it, so just like a virus, the gene is continued.

    The thing about voicing a veiwpoint is that some will find a conection to it, and others will not. Personally I found that it started me thinking on who I veiw things and how my veiws due affect my actions and therefore who people veiw me. I like the humour in her talk

  • @2lasiiJAkuppi She's not advocating vulnerability per se. Nobody aims at suffering unless they're fucked up on guilt. No. It's more like 'A man has to recognise his limitations'. Assessing both sides of the story and being accountable for your decision is cool, but she's saying sometimes you have to admit there's no way of knowing and at those moments, your decision isn't about what you know, but about who you are and what you believe in (your values, not facts).

  • @leconfidant ''sometimes you have to admit there's no way of knowing and at those moments, your decision isn't about what you know, but about who you are and what you believe in (your values, not facts).''

    not true in that case you cant choose a side, you don't have enough evidence and a) you need more evidence (you do a research) or b) you compromise. I don't choose a person because of his skin religion if he is from the same country as i am but that's just me and im not just saying that.

  • @2lasiiJAkuppi Consider the following - Is life important? Are other people important? Is there such a thing as good and bad? Should I aim to do good or whatever bad I can get away with? Is peace more important than victory? Is the beauty around me worth protecting?

    For each, you have to make a decision, but the evidence pointing one way or another is negligable. And in each case, it requires a whole-hearted decision in order to make a difference.

    You have to go beyond evidence into purpose.

  • @leconfidant I could analyse everyone of those questions and tell you why. You're starting to sound like a hippy or like you are on drugs. Have a good life. Peace out!

  • @2lasiiJAkuppi I'm not advocating hippy values at all. When you look at those question, Osama Bin Laden would say life is unimportant. The only goodness is war and peace and beauty are irrelevant. Objective evidence won't move him.

    More importantly, our own decisions on these can't be based on objective facts, only decisions of value. No equations or measurements will help us decide.

    So you go from

    'If you can't measure it, it doesn't exist'

    to

    'What do you do when you don't know what to do?'

  • @leconfidant so much of what she said was controversial and incorrect. This is why i didn't like it the first time i saw it. And now after i understand her message i understand why i felt like it was crap in the first place. I think she should have told her message better, i also think a lot of ppl got the wrong message from this. She should have said be happy with who you are but strive to become better everyday. The oil company and the certainty factor thees didn't register with me.

  • @2lasiiJAkuppi I see a lot of ‘spiritual / self improvement’ stuff which is just people espousing values without really saying anything and my reaction is the same as yours. This is different, because like you, she starts from the objective empirical assumption ‘If you can’t measure it, it doesn’t exist’ and continued like that. Courage isn’t as commonsense as you think. Many live simply to avoid suffering and maximise pleasure. It doesn't work when you have to protect ideals or face death.

  • I might be enough.

  • Some Truth here

  • "The Virtues of Selfishness?

  • All opinion and putting her own meaning of things onto things. bs

  • In church we are taught to say "O Lord, I am not worthy to receive You, but only say the word and my soul will be healed." We need to change that to "O Lord, I know I am not perfect, but since you find me worthy, help me to realize that I am worthy. Help me to see past my own and everyone else's imperfection, and to know we are all worthy in Your eyes."

  • It's so difficult to watch this because I fucking hate this woman. Her stupid jokes, her mannerisms, the noises she makes with her mouth, her voice, I fucking hate her.

  • @CirrowProductions What th... Oh right, this is the internet.

  • @CirrowProductions you are so funny... i think you missed the point of the talk

  • @CirrowProductions Try focussing on the content.
