Find Jan Heldfield's youtube channel using this method with politicians - its hilarious.

Some teachers *are* this good, maybe more than you think, maybe not... maybe the next cool teacher/ tutor/ mentor is you... 😉👍

Nobody (until just now!) ever taught me how to use the Socratic method, and I took a full-year course in philosophy at Stanford back in 89-90. These *real and useful topics* are *rarely* on the syllabus of *any* teacher; before youtube and the internet you’d have to read a book (and we didn’t have amazon yet either). There has been an agenda to make education meaningless from the very foundation of the American education system. Education doesn’t improve your natural talents but superimposes meaningless information over your own ideas and then tests you on it. Nobody taught me a thing that related to my starting a business, having employees, making a profit etc. Stanford didn’t teach me how to write, to analyze world events from a sociological context (though a sociology major), nothing but course readers and essays to regurgitate them. All useless information (except I did get to take a b school class from James March, who was an exception to this rant). I just learned the meaning of the word *assertion* last year, from a book i read on “assertiveness”, for instance. Such a bit of understanding would have saved me a lot of trouble in the future; Stanford left us all uneducated on such fundamentals. All the things I did in my life, I learned through luck, trial and error, intuition, getting inspired by others etc. I don’t think I ever got a foot massage worth of value out of college, to be honest. The punk rock scene taught me much, much more. (It did bring me out to the West Coast during a world historical time though, that much is true - I am grateful for that)

@@SK-le1gm Damn!

Would they?

I’m going to use this video within the next 2 weeks to teach my High Schoolers. I’ll let you know how it goes.

schuelermine The makes of this video just perfectly highlighted one of the reasons Tarantino is one of the best screenwriters out there

agreed

same

If I may ask, what are the advantages of a video that is "fairly recent" on a subject such as this?

Well. . .Give my daddy a hummer? I agree with this comment ! U S AND A NUMBER ONE

Your feet can’t answer a text but maybe if someone rubbed them or maybe gave them a /massage/ or something maybe they could receive a message 😁🤓

Sinister Sparky Yeah, maybe 🙂

You’re a good sport👏, I thank you for that 😉🤝 thumbs up and I agree with your premise 👍

I can translate what you said in latin but i dont know how this fits in context. Could you elaborate?

Glad you enjoyed it :)

Dude, you counted 3 things when at begging of your comment you prepared me for 2. Youre a scam brk

❤

You don't agree that Vincent was using the Socratic method? I really don't know, and I'm curious because I liked the video, and I would like to hear another opinion. I just want you to elaborate a little, if you find the time.

@@johnnytucker6709 My problem with the comparison is that one could make a similar case for practically any argument about any event. The foot massage conversation is in pursuit of a joke. It's not in pursuit of understanding the "essence" of foot massage. Jules' "F**k you" is an emotional reaction. It's not a response we'd find in a Socratic dialogue. When Jules finally admits Vince has a point, it's only in relation to the particular circumstances of that particular case, or similar cases. It sheds no light on the essence of foot massage. For example, to be truly in the flavor of Plato's dialogues, a foot massage by podiatrist, chiropractor or athletic trainer would enter into the questioning. It would be shown that sexual interpretation is not part of the essence of foot massage, contrary to Vince's assertion. Circumstances may have justified the violence, but it wasn't justified by the essence of foot massage itself.

@@donjindra Interesting Point!

How I know you read a lot of Plato’s Dialogues.

​@@johnnytucker6709I see what you did there 😏

A life without watching pulp fiction is not full. Go hurry.

So is it that someone courageous has all of these traits?

@@lanzibangli1259 I suppose not necessarily

It depends on the context on whether most straight men would give another man a foot massage. Does the other man have a sports injury or a cramp? Is the other man a blood relative or a dear friend? Is massaging feet your job? These are some scenarios which hetero men can get away with rubbing each other's feet without being dragged through the mud.

Admits de feat... Lol

Jay, I understand the point you are raising and in other gangster movies this would be overwhelmingly true. I think the relationship displayed between Jules and Vincent through their banter indicates the character Jules would have been ok with massaging the feet of a man, and he may have said so. However, the implicit question was, “would you perform the same type of foot massage on a man as you have just bragged about performing for women.” And unless Jules’ sexual preference was something other than heterosexual he may have answered yes. The F you was simply acknowledging the fact that Vincent had successfully made his point.

Would you give a guy a foot massage?

@racer exile I'm confused. You got smarter by reading KZfaq arguments?

The use of questioning to lead the other to the conclusion you want them to make. The idea is that when they reach that conclusion themselves, it is more effective in convincing them than if one were to merely tell them one's conclusion.

@@djayjp This is so much clearer and straight to the point. I suspected it, but it was never as clear as you just put it.

@@The-Athenian Thanks :)
