@TheTalentedMoron Жыл бұрын

@Tweer64 Well ZeFrank senior, and Mrs. ZeFrank loved each other very much. They did some things that are perfecty natural, but not for the eyes of children. ~9 months later ZeFrank was born. He was not very impressive at the time, but through the numerous abuses of the process we call living he learned how to observe, analyze and create. He found that he liked creating things that other people would enjoy and hopefully make them think at least a little bit. He tried that, and more than likely failed quite a few times. Fortunately, Mrs. ZeFrank did not raise a quiter. He strived on until he became the man you know today. Then they invited him to give a TED talk, and he chose to do so rather impressively.

For his quirkiness and comedy but also loneliness and pain he is willing to expose.

I heard an interview with a super centurion who was "celebrating" his 110th birthday. As they always seem to ask such people, they asked what advice did he have for anyone who wanted to live more than 100 years. He said, "Don't." he said that his wife, all of his friend, his children, and now even some of his grandchildren had all passed away. It was pretty clear that he had had enough life to satisfy him and he was now just waiting for the end. It really brought home that old Queen Song, "Who Wants to Live Forever"

@KhronicD Жыл бұрын

This. Every time I see someone claim to want immortality, this is exactly what comes to mind. Imagine, if you can, everything and everyone you know steadily passing into the void of time, while you can only watch and experience it? Yes, you can and will have many moments of joy, but eventually, at some point, you WILL tire of living. But if you cannot die, you will never know true peace.

@SpiritDragoness Жыл бұрын

This is so sad but true. My great grandmother waited for death to come and get her for 11 years. All her brothers and sisters who were younger than her, her husband and even 1 of her grandchildren had already passed away, and she kept asking, why her, why he took the young ones but left her, she should have gone first. This bothered her a lot for the last 11 years (I count eleven years since she first mentioned it to me till her death. ). When she finally passed away, i think she was happy to go. She had an infection in her leg that just wouldn't heal, but she refused amputation or any medical help for it. She said, "I am going to my grave with both my legs." She sounded in a hurry. RIP

In consideration with all the negative views this video is receiving from tradition TED viewers, you have to open your mind to possibilities of the psychological perspective that Zefrank is trying approach here. He incorporates his comedy as a way to introduce possible emotional struggles that every individual may go through at some one in their lives and is trying to bring rise to the awareness if these matters. His main focus is the loss of interest that arises from these issues. He incorporates subliminal messages into each of his videos and speeches with a gentle comic start to a more serious tone afterwards and it works for him. So it might not be the traditional TED video that you all expect but consider the messages that possible psychological he is trying to send.

It then procceds to change into the degradation of the relationship with distrust and arguments. Finally it turns into the ending, rememberance of that relationship, and the moving on.

This is beyond profound. I think I've watched this video at least 30 times... Ze Frank. You give me hope. Maybe even some clarity... Thank you. I ended this with a period not in anger but in the realization that life can and will get better. You moved me. Thank you.

always interesting to see how people age through the years. a lot of his internet stuff is "frozen in time" with his younger self and i almost didn't believe i was watching ze frank when i saw this vid. i mean, it's no biggie. since we're human and all, and that includes aging. but, watching a ze frank ted video from 8 years ago and then watching this one as the very next video kind of messes with your head a little bit. gosh ze frank is so cool. happy thanksgiving everybody!

Harbz Anger comes from fear, vice versa. Humor and sadness come from the same place. All emotions are related. It's so weird, but that's just how the hooman do.
