So true

Really?

Mark yes! My introduction to Arabic class سلام I meat him, the kkk member was chanting outside, the deaf woman was my dorm neighbor

Widened your perspective on day 1!

We almost peers :) first day of college for me was in 2011

That's the modern day an Englishman , an Irishman and a Scotsman meet in a pub joke

George Carlin RIP the American dream is you have to be asleep to believe in it.

Also to mention the fashion, architecture choices, and especially the destruction of having jerks running the soda shops and not super sexual outfits everywhere including places of formal attire

Look around you, @BernieEinreb371. We have a sociopath in the White House, we're in the middle of a once in a century pandemic that's killing 2,500-3,000 Americans per day because so many of us refuse to mask up or social distance, income inequality is as bad as it was 130 years ago, the racial divide has only gotten worse in the last generation or so, and our government is so dysfunctional it can't pass a budget or a C-19 relief bill because the beady-eyed, bespectacled power mad leader of the upper chamber won't stop obstructing its passage because he wants to provide blanket immunity from lawsuit to the ownership class in case their workers get sick with the virus due to a lack of efficacious safety protocols in their workplace. The American way, as it exists today, is a broken machine. There's enough wrong with this country today to radicalize anyone with a halfway functioning moral compass. We're not so perfect that we couldn't learn a thing or two about education from the Finns, controlling the spread of the virus from New Zealand or Senegal, where they all wear masks and don't cry like infants about their personal liberties being infringed upon, the Germans when it comes to labor-management relations, and Australia when it comes policing, where de-escalation is the order of the day. George Carlin was right. The American Dream is a sham, and always has been. Education, hard work, and playing by the rules aren't enough anymore. You've got to be lucky, and you'd better be born in fortunate circumstances, because if you're not you ain't getting much help from anyone or anything. People are too busy just trying to survive, the business world only looks out for the management class, like it's always done, and the government either can't get the help to where it's needed because GOP politicians aren't inclined to spend money on those programs, or corruption siphons much of the money into the pockets of corrupt politicians and their corporate allies. They'd rather spend 40% of the federal budget on the military, when there's so many civilian problems that need addressing and could use some the $ earmarked for the newest high-tech fighter or warship. Individual success is still achievable, but at a cost to the collective. Our world, due to climate change, is becoming increasingly unlivable, because we're slowly poisoning it, consuming all of its resources, and quite frankly, having too many babies. We cannot sustain the kind of civilization we've built for ourselves with a population approaching 8 billion. Something's gotta give, and might come sooner rather than later the way things are going. If you see a ray of sunshine in all of that you're as delusional as the President.

The unfortunate thing is that America dream was not open or a valuable for many Americans. There were so many obstacles in the way, if you succeeded if because you have to fight for it at every step. So many people made a valiant attempt but were road blocks thrown in their way made it almost impossible. Too Sad.

You don't need college. See this thing you're typing on? It contains the vast knowledge of the world for the cost of an internet connection. Study and become what you want. I dropped out right at the start of college and made my way. I didn't want to be polluted by the muddy waters of university activism and it's politics. I didn't want to be a slave to 150K of debt. I forged my own path and stayed diligent on this course. Surround yourself by older/wise/successful people that can mentor you and guide you.

I agree with the previous replies. Be conscientious. Be better every day. Get fit. Lose bad habits. Make good habits. Associate with good people. Day by day you will get better and you will be successful.

Thank you Jim. David Hoffman - filmmaker

Garret Jacobs it’s the human condition. Learning what’s us, and our biology/personal functioning and what is an outside force causing a reaction - separating those - can hopefully reveal a better understanding and help us be kinder to ourselves as we navigate life. It’s gonna be ok 🤗 I promise - just keep putting one foot in front of the other. So many times our minds stop us.

Carl Jung - our psyche exists outside of time and space - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndiSg7x-l62zdHk.html

It hasn't gotten worse, it's different for every generation. Stop being so self centered.

Well, historically we're supposed to have 3 kids and be about to die from some curable disease or other by the time we're 20. So yeah, If you had been farming or mining since you were 7 or 8 you wouldn't have time or energy to do much more than work for 12 hours and sleep. You'd probably be trying to avoid thinking about the pain from your worn out body and the mind numbing toothaches.

While access to information is good it also allows young kids to see all the horrific stuff going on in the world within seconds. It’s unfortunately given rise to a lot of nihilism and teenage depression

I can assure you he had to work for whatever he got then, as well. Life is never easy. Just the fact that you're whining about it is weak.

@@crashvandrifter3198 all these people on the internet disrespecting boomers make me sick....

Who cares? Fortunately, some of my subscribers do. Obviously this isn't for you. No reason to watch then. David Hoffman filmmaker

@@DavidHoffmanFilmmaker I think this is a misunderstanding. I found the video very interesting and I enjoyed every one of your videos I watched so far. I'm glad they are here. They also inspire me to do my own film project. The part of my comment that offended you was meant as an aside: The worlds of then and today are so different, but the part he said about the desk made me laugh because a guy high as a kite writing on a desk would be funny if it occurred then just as in 2021, and at the same time, it seems to me like such an arbitrary detail to mention. There was humour in the juxtaposition he mentioned, but maybe it's too subtle. I'm sorry it bothered you, I didn't mean to offend anyone.

Tara S the irony is undeniable.

Thank you for your comment

Thank you for preserving these moments!

Thank you Bilbo. I don't use Wikipedia much myself. David Hoffman-filmmaker

Parker. Your question is a legitimate one and deserves an answer. I don't really have the time to answer it as it should be answered. I did have a rather complex testing procedure to see if I felt each prospective interview candidate could emotionally express how they felt. In other words, each had to “know" how they felt. David Hoffman-filmmaker

@@DavidHoffmanFilmmaker I appreciate your response; I'm sure I'm not alone in being all the same intrigued by your process, I hope the time finds you one day to write about it! Take care.

@@DavidHoffmanFilmmaker What's the difference between a LOOTER and a BOOMER?........ NOTHING! HAhahaha

@@thoughtcriminal99 Did you listen to what the guy said?

I feel this comment on a deep level. Hope you are doing well.

Thank you for sharing a bit of your experience. David Hoffman - filmmaker

Thank you. David Hoffman - filmmaker

It's always amazing how one little decision that you make around 18 sets your whole life in one direction. I too never had the opportunity to go to college. It was not even really a option. My father was in construction so that kind of what I thought I had to do. Thanks for sharing your story

There are so many paths we can take in life. I think as long as you are overall happy with where you are now, you can sit easy knowing you went down a good path.

Go to college now...lol

If you did not have a direction in mind, I don’t think college would have made your life better. Instead you chose a life where you learned every day and you could build on these skills. From the sounds of it you had a successful career. Congratulations!

Things have changed a lot since this video would have been filmed 40 years ago. Colleges now are radical leftist indoctrination camps and unless you're taking STEM, you'll come out dumber than when you went in. Who would have thought the left would become the ones to start censoring free speech, start burning books, banning movies etc.

@@bigj2637 So true .

Hope you like it!

@@DavidHoffmanFilmmaker I absolutely did. Thank you so much.

the British style for documentaries was different. More conservative. Less emotional. I don't know any UK filmmaker who did what I did. I what I still do. David Hoffman-filmmaker

Thank you for your comment James but I do not believe that the title including the words cultural revolution would mean much to many of my subscribers and others.

Read the description please. This was recorded in 1989.
