I am amazed. Frank, you have completely changed the way I see you with this video. Thanks for this knowledge. I apologize for calling you out before.

@Koseiku

i told u I could be logical if I wanted to. Just like i told u i could be aesthetic if i wanted to. I can be anything. anywhere. anytime. Because my consciousness is blank.

Frank Yang summed up my major in 7 minutes...

[digitalairair]

@Slackah what is your major?

Nicholas Carr makes a strong argument that the internet is changing our brain in "The Shallows." I recommend it. I'd also add that there's nature and nurture and that modern culture exacerbates certain innate predilections.

[digitalairair]

@palmdog63 of course it does. Isnt' that my point ? nature makes us want to look good to attract mates, with culture we put on make up! surf porn! that might make a person's brain less inhibited because he can now just pull out porn whenever he wants but it's not gonna change the brain so much as to cause mutation in the gene to behave in ways that completely go against the initial evolutionary goal he was designed for.

@CallofDavey

im not blaming the media for anything. I'm praising it. So why shouldn't i use it if i think it's beneficial to my current state of well being?

You are obviously an intelligent person, but you've really missed the mark with your opinion here and I think you are failing to recognize the true ideas the film missrepresentation is attempting to bring to light. That being said, it's probably because you are a huge sexist using the obvious fundamental differences in men and women's biology, along with seriously miscued applications of historical facts to uphold your own socially instilled gender bias'. #not buying it.

I love the quality of your content and your viewpoints. What i dont love is your poor grammar and filming.

[TheAustralopithicus]

You inspire me.

Frank makes some very valid points. However – I see a lot of defensiveness from someone who feels like they are being called an asshole for being attracted to beautiful women. He obviously works hard on his own appearance - he is attractive and works out, and probably wants a girl who does the same. Is that wrong? I honestly don't think so. I think this defensiveness distracts from the message of the documentary. Think of it in terms of if you had a daughter, a niece or a sister.

Very good, very well put.
