Dude thank you for your "dandelions are not weeds" comment. I felt like the only one who shared this sentiment until now. As if they are an inconvenience to our existence, they are not an inconvenience to my existence.
Stumbled upon your tobacco processing video over an hour ago...I have been watching an array of your videos and listening to your thoughts since. So happy to have clicked on your video, thanks for sharing! Feelings refreshed by the rawness, compassion, and honesty. I look forward to tuning in from now on
i try to be friendly to people i meet altough im not the most social person, but like you if i walk my dog i do a little small talk wich gives me joy. also a lot of people have their own methods and truths and try to project theirs to advice to other people wich may not be suitable for them
Powerful first 4 minutes. The things that are lost in this world…even young people like my self feel like something is missing. I want to explore the world and meet everyone. Just graduated from college I was a loner there mostly. my whole time there everyone just walked around and had to look at their phone every time they passed someone by. Confuses me and makes me think. Going to university for 2 more years I hope I can make a change.
I am beginning to see a pattern. That our negativity bias is the real issue for many. When we go for a hike - we are predisposed to remember the mud, the bugs, the sweat. But if you never remember the vistas, the views... Nothing worth having, value is personal as we must evaluate all, nothing worth having is without struggle... If we give up because life is a challenge... we atrophy or we grow... Here we are.
7:33 - I argue this is the positive side of Tribalism - If we are in the same family group or village- we can save that discernment - Hamavdil in Hebrew - The ability to understand right from wrong, or the Serenity to accept what I cannot change, the courage to tackle those which I can, and the wisdom(or Discernment/Hamavdil) to know the difference.
Weeds are just plants you don't want to grow in a certain area. A pure strain of Spanish Saffron growing in an Afghanistan poppy field wood be considered a weed.
4:06 I would say 95% of people you pass would welcome a hello or some kind of brief greeting. Just an acknowledgement that they exist. Strangers that I greet with a simple Good Morning, always respond in kind.
5:55 The best summer of life was when my friend Nathan and I broke into construction sites when I was in 5th grade. I'm not proud that we broke in but exploring was fun. Nathan was an explorer. We explored sewer tunnels and construction sites et al. We were chased by security guards. It was a great summer! The funniest part to me even as a kid was when our sewer tunnel exploration led us to the engineering room of the grade school we attended.
5:00 been 40 years - not sure they gonna get it right? A New Grammar is needed for us to move forward. Identity are stories other people tell that you believe, Myth are the stories we tell, and so few of us read (90% of people have not read a book in two years) and writing/thinking about our place in time and history. Jung said the vast majority of evil can be traced to the fact that most people walk about unconscious - acting and thinking.... Neil Postman said that media divides, and he didn't predict how bad it would really be. Marshall McLuhan said we struggle to understand each other - generation to generation - struggle to understand our own grammar and each other's - but never was it predicted that we would have four generations struggling to understand themselves, their world, each other, and their phantasy worlds(post modernism..)
If you ever get a mali uromastyx lizard they love to eat the flower before the greens its so cute, dandelions a good source of calcium for them, long as there's no chemical sprays in the lawn, seems like an American traditional to pollute the hard with glyohosate, your yard is nice though. I feel bad for all these animals being shipped in the mail to be kids entertainment, I felt it was wrong as a kid too but I was a hypocrite
0:55 Dandelions are good for lawns or soil. Dandelion's taproot breaks up soil. If you have dandelions in your yard don't kill or uproot them. It's nature's way of cultivation and doesn't cost a cent.
It's true that the golden age of YT as a medium was a ways back, but we currently have a new golden age of educational content/tutorials. You can learn fix/build just about anything these days.
Yeah but so many of those are surface level and based on sponsorships. No longer are people making tutorials to teach, it's to sponsor some product and are usually lacking in any real substance
Do not let people tell you, full stop. The first lesson the Buddha taught: the Ajivakan went away to think about it/try it out. Jesus asked the lady if she was convinced, not told her what to believe... Imo
@@carpo719 Man spreading was a short lived woke feminist phenomena not that long ago (maybe 5 years). It was a critique of men holding their knees apart in public as a patriarchally way to convey dominance. It's strange you didn't get the reference. In deference to your short memory, it is one made up word i.e., manspreading.
