The humor is so above the kid’s head I’m dying

@Ulkomaalainen 5 жыл бұрын

The thing is, younger kids are already happy that there is a joke. Not getting it isn't as important as the general mood a joke makes. Also, when you don't get it, what he says makes no sense, and nonsensical talk in itself can be funny, again especially to kids. So while the humor he is delivering may fly over their heads by miles, the humor the kids are receiving may just be real and enjoyable.

What he talks about in the end is one of my most painfull memories in chess. I was rated 1250 at the time an Lichess decided to give me a 1490 opponent for some reason. I played a great game, took a loose knight and was getting ready to checkmate in two moves by my strategy. I was taking a pawn and expected a recapture with another pawn, basically giving the knight back but forking the king and rook afterwards by a queen recapture. And he didn't capture. He moved his second knight. I din't think much of it, thought he had given up, proceded to let the knight go packman mode and collected another pawn. Well his pawn then forked my queen and king and it was GG. Still hurts to this day.

@smrtfasizmu6161 Жыл бұрын

If you still play chess you are probably now rated much higher than you were back then so you don't care that you lost to a 1500 lichess opponent as now you see 1500 lichess players as horrible players.

[Professor to the class] -- I say, "Let us hush this cry of progress till years have passed." That's a quote. Who said that? Come on. Who said that? Well, somebody must know the answer! Tennyson, Alfred Lord Tennyson. You can't compete on a doctoral level and not know "Locksley Hall". I hope you all flunk! Dismissed. ... [After class, Professor to the Dustin Hoffman character] -- Why didn't you answer that Tennyson question? It was obvious you knew. [Dustin Hoffman character] -- I... I don't know. [Professor] -- How am I to fathom your mind if you continue to hide it from me?

Jonathan Ferguson It is very common for people who fixate on things (such as playing chess) to miss out on other things. Such as educating yourself politically. He has probably never even watched Fox, he just understands the liberal mainstream perception of them. He is politically ignorant and shouldn't be making political remarks, these kids don't know any better and they probably assume _he_ does, which he doesn't. That is why in public school, teachers aren't allowed to politically express themselves. I'm very intelligent but I didn't become political until I was in my 20s. Ben clearly hasn't even become interested in politics yet, many people never do. He may not have even understood what ideologies he was mocking.

@jonathanferguson9226 5 жыл бұрын

Almost all Ashkenazi Jews are intensely interested in politics and I'm sure Ben is no exception. He's mentioned in other videos that he's a Marxist (or in his words, that he and his father consider the average liberal to be right wing.) He's a walking advertisement for why you don't let people into your nation who don't share your culture or your values.

@tristunalekzander5608 5 жыл бұрын

Jonathan Ferguson If we lived in a Marxist society, there would be no Grandmasters because it isn't egalitarian to have someone be better than another, it creates a hierarchy, a _class struggle._ Shouldn't good chess players be successful? Or is that unfair to the bad chess players? Ben obviously doesn't believe these things, he is just confused and politically naive, he may not even know what Marxism is exactly. If he was ever interested enough in politics to have his ideas challenged, he wouldn't be a Marxist. Though I do find it strange how all Jews tend to share that same ignorance. As if they are genetically predisposed to that ideology.
