She was relieved she had it better than others. Or in other words what she worried about was nothing compared to her friend.

Maybe he/she was having a Hard time.

Too close to her mouth

@@AlessandroMTheManfu thank you for this comment.

You are right. It makes no sense

Hey Victor, I'm of the school of thought that enjoys these types of discussions and speeches. I wanted to offer my perspective to you to hopefully provide some clarity to how some others think on this topic. In my opinion, these types of speeches are more about the journey than the destination. If I had to sum up the speaker's point in this talk, it would be that the human condition is our tendency to think of ourselves before others, and we should challenge ourselves to think of others before ourselves to rise from our "default". In my opinion, it is nothing more than basic survival instincts that we would think in this way. If I'm more worried about the cave next to me and how they weren't able to find food, then I may die as a result because I am not taking care of my own needs. I believe the speaker's philosophy is based on the society we've constructed, which I think we can all agree is different than anything else in the animal kingdom. It is about recognizing that we no longer live as animals and we now live for more than basic survival. It is a challenge to rise above our "default programming".

@@CallMeCamTV Some people are just so clueless. But, I guess that's why it's the human condition.

@@elearis1 are they clueless or just using different clues than you? ✌🏻🙂

Hurt people hurt people 😶

Huh? Suffering is universal

@You Hit My Car Abc truth hurts

I agree. I have found out that I’m more of an empath because I was a victim of narcissistic abuse. I didn’t need to listen to this either. Actually more often I should think about myself. To simplify this extremely much. I thought of this as some kind of course directed to egoistic people, narcissistic people or clear narcissists….

@@MrCph2200 I stand in agreement with you on this matter... You Are CORRECT !!!

Very well explained thanks. Multiple decades ago I learned meditation somewhat by accident. A stress therapist had given me a tape with a 20 mins relaxation technique lesson on it. On the flip side of the tape was a 20 meditation lesson. My Sony Walkman (told you it was a while ago) auto played the B-Side and I gradually got used to meditating. Like you described it was an incredibly calming yet powerful and positive sensation because you feel part of a bigger universe. I was then able to meditate just about anywhere. A few years later I went to about 10 sessions to formally learn Transcendental Meditation. It was a proven method but in my case it really messed up my original meditation method and I just never regained the effectiveness through either. I also had an injury that resulted in chronic pain in my spine and that was difficult to ignore when sitting to meditate. Thanks for the inspiration. Maybe its time to try again.

How old are you, I just want to know because I can tell your incredibly intellectual and I’m curious

I’m curious too 😁🙋🏻‍♀️

It would have been constructive if you would have said something helpful. All you did was criticize. That's just hatin

MnGambit89 that’s why it’s called “constructive criticism”

I agree

Nooo its heavy.

I just said this to myself. Proof is in the pudding

Well I think there is some legitimacy in what some of these people are saying. There is nothing wrong with being skeptical that's what makes us learn more and advance. Granted she's in high school so she may not be fully educated on this subject is all I believe people were saying.

Pointing fingers at others as a way to appear virtuous is basically narcissistic.

*Frankl

Yes, but that would mean firstly the world changes to eating meat and using animal products as well as keeping them in cages/zoos, closed off areas, etc. As soon as that day comes, the system will change...But you have to take responsibility for the system, Will. You.

This is the very definition of the "default setting" she talked about. You are too self centered to think that everyone should be punished if they hurt you because it's not fair for you if they don't receive punishment. The very point is to have the benefit of the doubt out of every situation, that doesn't mean you shouldn't be angry, you have the right to be angry if someone rudely knocked you off like that but getting out of the default setting in this situation means to think about the possibility why that person did that to you, a reasonable situation that will make you forgive that person. These forgivable possibilities aren't necessarily the truth, it's just there to prevent you from bursting out of anger, it gives you a peace of mind in everything. I, for one can attest that this is really helpful. Every unfortunate thing that ever happened to me, although with a heavy heart, I always think that this is normal and it happens at some point to everyone thus I will naturally get through it, whenever people do bad things to me I always think of possibilities to make their actions towards me reasonable although I'm angry. I applied this since I developed the capability to think for myself, since I developed this mindset on my own, I honestly lived a stress-free life. I consider everything natural thus I don't think I'm getting punished or condemned by God or whatever Deity there is. That's the power of having a benefit of the doubt in everything, it's one of the aspects of getting out of our "Default setting". The universe isn't plotting against you, remember that. You're just a tiny little dust in the grand scheme of things after all. The only downside I can think of this way of thinking is that you have to be ready sacrifice your own feelings a lot of times just for the greater good, thus this is very hard for self centered persons but I wouldn't call it sacrificing because at the end, you're the one who's benefiting.

What questions has it answered?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Exactly. We searched for this video.

I think half the planet comes to an epiphany of self-awareness at some point in their individual lives, develops a simple and abstract model that explains it to themselves and want to talk about it in a TED talk, but is vague or pure gobbledygook to anyone above their age group or intellectual prowess.

YES. THANK YOU.

indeed .

Are you not conscious of the air around you?

But how is this related to her talk, and how do you know that? Because you can't! You'd be right if you refer to the consciousness in your children and every other being that lives beyond you. They surely survive after your death. Individual, personal consciousness manifesting as particular egos, cannot go very far either way. Even if "you" survive after death.. how long can you keep your particular shape/personality? I, myself, changed radically from 15 to 18, then to 25, 30 and so on. Now i'm 33 and i'm different from when i was 30, and that's just 3 years difference (although mine is a special case for i have changed my job and "religion" in this short period). But it's clear to me that if i were to live 467 years than i would change at least 50 hobbies and activities, each of them changing "me". In 5.000.000 years i'm sure i'll get sick of being a nice guy and start beating and raping people for a change. And i exaggerate to make a point here.. in reality i think more of 200 years or so. Furthermore i would constantly replace older memories with newer ones, and who i am is just an abstract product of memory. We have undoubtable evidence that people who are ravaged by early dementia or other conditions that destroy the memory information, are losing themselves literally, they don't behave like they used to do, because they forget what they like, what they know and hence what they do.. and these things are pretty much who you are. From the other end we have examples like Geney Whitely, a girl who was raised in total seclusion, being kept until the age of 13 in a dark room, feeding herself with the cereals that were occasionally thrown inside. Because she never made memories with how other humans tend to behave, when she was freed she was the same kind of self that an animal has. She didn't knew she was a hostage, she had no idea if she was a girl or a boy, smart or stupid, aggressive or kind, uneducated, or that she had a name or a job, or a passion. Nor did she knew these things even existed! So without memory "we" are just globes of undifferentiated consciousness, every individual more or less identical to every other, just like a colony of ants. On the other hand, if we make memories of interacting with other humans, BUT WITHOUT education and culture, we would get to form and know a shallow personality, like apes do (also based on memory). But when we die this information contained in the neural circuits destroys itself, leaving no trace for this ego. If you believe and rely on miracles, or other things, WHICH YOU CANNOT KNOW, than you could hope for survival after death. But again, if you think seriously at the consequences of that.. Who gets to become immortal? The 18 year old you who was full of life and emotion, the 25 year old you who was smarter, the 35 mature and knowledgeable, the 60 years old wise person who knows better?! In 99% of the cases the 18 years version would utterly loath the principles, behavior, musical and every other preference of the 60 years old version :)) Furthermore afterlife could be so different from what you "can know" and "can feel" (like hate, love, mathematics, medicine, warm/cold, up/down, high/low, sex, friendship), what would a neurosurgeon, or a person who lived to drag-race do there? They would have to change, possibly so much that they would NOT be themselves anymore. People are what they like and what they do.., so what about those that have as their greatest passion and most defining trait of their character.. the passion for swinging their partners with other married couples?! What would they do? They would have to lose their personality, to change to the vastly different world (that is if you don't believe in taboos, marriage certificates, dicks in asses, parties, swinging, and other such things as making part of "heaven" :)). My last point is.. if we logically and naturally change EITHER WAY (in afterlife, or, if we were to live on earth for 35.460 years.. thanks to medicine), than why do i care for survival after all?! My self from the far future (or afterlife) will be as different from me as any other self from that far future :)) Many of them smarter, kinder, more passionate and full of life than "me". So there's no logical point in it. Just an irrational fear and desire that we have. But my guess is that humans will gradually transcend this desire and get to happily live in the moment knowing that probably they will die without an afterlife. And there's so much philosophy, art and literature that makes the perspective of death not only manageable but even enjoyable. Anyways we're all in the same boat.. so i wish you the best.

rares mircea whoa 🤔😯

@@steelcitybarbell4286 This is so deep, I really liked "who i am is just an abstract product of memory."

@@raresmircea could you please give a source on that Geney Whitely thing? I cannot find anything on the internet under that name which would fit your description of the experiment. Am interested in learning more.

Reid Larsen It's lazy speech.

@Sheridan Busse yo he right do

Thats them taking the time to look around themselves instead of at themselves where they only see what annoys them, like speech impediments in others

For one thing , Jesus Christ is real, as witnessed by hundreds of people and historically documented in the Holy Bible. Second, we are multi celled Creations of God, vastly more complex than any of man's creations proving God's intelligent and incredible design.

Noah Namey thats true of most men also, its not a female trait but a human one ...in my opinion

Noah Namey lmao who hurt you

Your talking about the world falling apart and your over here putting a comment about women being sensitive. Lol 😂

are you an inclel? because you seem to have such a fallen and bruised ego that you feel as if 'women' are the problem, whereas the most likely reasons are simply your fragile and toxic masculinity.

Can you just uh dial it down from 100 to 0?
