are you talking about the Dog?

@@JameBlack I do not follow, if the Dog is a cultural reference I do not know it !

@@gorgeuos ok, then you know nothing about professor, you should listen to his podcasts.

@@JameBlack thanks, i will, he was a joy to listen so far!

@@JameBlack you're supposed to study the teaching, not the teacher.

I'm guessing it was cold war propaganda

Great response. I can't even imagine the contrast. I agree that both speakers were impressive and appreciated the disagreeableness of the interviewer.

Honesty? come on get real

I believe it. So why aren't we getting smarter here in the US ? All of this great information is out there for free.

@@lilmoe4364 I came of age when the Internet was starting to become very popular but I remember even when I got my 28 kB per second dial up connection, thinking that the Internet would make the world more peaceful because people could see that others were not that different, it would make us smarter, because the bad ideas would be filtered out, and the good ideas would rise to the top end with democratize information, and most likely societies. This hasn’t happened because of the incentives unfortunately but I still hope. Most don’t want to learn and grow though

The Dawg Rhules! Wait.. did I spell that right?

Stephanie has been great for years

Perhaps it goes back to the"sanitary-wiping" Prof Scott was talking about..., i.e., this is their (the youth) problem to recognize and solve.

Let me bring it down a little closer to reality then. Take off those rose colored glasses he has you put on. this guy has no clue what he's talking about... Scott points out how broken everything is and then his solution is to just do the exact same thing but do it harder. Go to the university you can't afford in a city that's too expensive and sacrifice your relationships to make more money. "It cost me my hair and my marriage.... and it was worth it." Out of touch much? Imagine having a wife/husband and telling them you're going to concentrate on your own well being so much that you're going to get divorced, but it'll be OK cause in 15 years you'll be financially afloat.

@@oscarinacan Let’s just start with the fact that he’s in the 1% telling younger future 1%ers what to do where they’d be fine regardless. I’d love to hear him try to give this talk to the 90% of younger people who can’t live without a roommate, will never be able to afford a house and are making ramen for dinner.

This is true, one of the things that I remember most from school is when teachers talked about their own experiences

I agree one of the best I've ever seen.

I so agree, such a good interviewer n such a well researched author with his own wisdom n life experiences, brutal but honesty in his delivery - loved it n will return to it time n again - thank you all

@@oscarinacan Danny, I hear you. When you put it that way, you are absolutely right. I never would have told my wife 15 years ago that she and my kids would have to fend for themselves . . because I was going to concentrate on me. What Scott is suggesting is exactly the kind of narcissism that he rails against all the time.

Letters to Daughters «we need more engaged fathers, not a better fuc*king father» Hahaha good one!

*“We need more engaged fathers, not a better fuc*ing **phone.**”

As mentioned already, think you misquoted him. He said phone at the end

Yea, Scott is so relationship oriented.

@@oscarinacan What I thought most interesting is that our level of happiness returns after trauma (lottery, accident) and is deeply enhanced by gratitude. I heard "try something you wouldn't ordinarily try", not try harder doing the same thing. To my ears it was "outside your comfort zone". I heard that discipline is essential, and that drugs, alcohol, other substances and expectations interfere with success. I heard that failure doesn't define us, that we don't give up and that change is certain. I heard that comparing and social media can be destructive; that health is important; that forgiveness is necessary in relationships. I heard that 7 out of 10 of the countries where the people are happiest are socialist. I heard that being open and honest teaches us that we aren't alone and can get through it.

@kathleenb1947 then you have heard the same things that many others have said. Nothing new. Food for thought though: Stephen King and George carlin wrote some of their best works while coked out of their minds. People have amazing ideas while under some kind of influence. Also mother's that have lost a child to crazy circumstances would have a word about happiness returning. There are exceptions to every rule

I love Carlin and would have added him to my list of creative geniuses, Hemmingway, Steinbeck, Edgar Alan Poe, had I been aware of his lubricants. I wonder how many times I was creative at night only to find the following morning that my "art" was unintelligible? Alas, no genius here. But mothers that lose their children often relate and yet have their children restored when these issues are addressed. I have also heard from the mouth of an ex resident of Folsom Prison that over 90% of the inmates are drug alcohol related. In light of these facts, enhanced creativity is an excuse. I hope you'e happy, Danny.

@kathleenb1947 I'm in transition and quite content with the unknown right now. Happy, yea. I have people that love me and that makes me happy. I hope you are happy as well. All the people that produced something creative while on a drug (caffeine is a drug, the most abused one as well) are examples, but you say it's an excuse. Let's agree to disagree. 90% of inmates at folsom are in for drugs. Maybe. I tried a quick search and couldn't find raw numbers. I personally wouldn't go by the word of an inmate. Not because they are an inmate. I wouldn't go by anyone's word unless they had data to back it up. And about mothers..... go tell that to the countless mothers that have lost their children to war or famine. I've watched programs where mothers have lost children decades ago and are never the same. Some accept it, but that's not necessarily the healing that you think makes them whole. Many just mask their misery cause the world expects them to move on.

True, but that's a whole other field with plenty of literature on it

Well said. I’m glad you decided to write. My thoughts precisely.

Sorry, I've taken your title 😅

Been 2 years. How’s life going? 👀

As always!

'Mourn and move on' the worst comment one can make to people who have suffered loss.

@@derekarnold3665 I’ve lost many people close to me including my youngest child and my mother. It’s sound advice. Some people mourn for so long that they forget weeping is temporary. “Mourn and move on” is actually very freeing because it gives you permission to move away from the sadness. I think some people feel guilty for wanting to be happy again.

@@Yaya-cl3tu I am sorry to hear of your loss. I also had similar experiences, losing both my wife recently and young son some years back. We are all different in terms of how we grief and mourn the loss of our love ones. I don't think I need anyones advice on how to grief, it's a personal matter. So do whatever you feel is best for you.

Well, when we're in our 20's, we're in a different place than in our 30's or 40's. This sort of message would have probably been lost on us back then. Then again, if you don't regret your choices, who cares if you could've made better ones? And if you do, what's stopping you from learning from them and applying those lessons to your life going forward?

fortunately for the rich, they can afford to be here i.e. PRESENT for their lives, because their futures are secure. But if you're constantly in a state of distress worrying about the future, then you can't really be present can you? You're always stuck in thinking about horrible past experience and suffering, or worrying about how to avoid a repeat of those times in the future. Thus, the precariat is born. This is the fate of the majority, as eloquently depicted in his wealth inequality charts. What people want is to be able to be present for their own lives, rather than constantly worried due to the crushing weight of financial insecurity. It's brutal capitalism for the poor, but a gentle capitalism if not socialism for the rich.

Dude I do so

"Follow your bliss", is what I think we're reaching for as poor advice. And to that I would add two more: "Trust your feelings"' and "Just be yourself."

no one can touch Stephanie when it comes to being a bad ass. That's why she's not on prime time she's too good.
