When we next catch ourselves going on a bit too long on a topic - or, to put it bluntly ‘ranting’ - we should dare to ask ourselves where our behaviour is coming from.

I think I am a bore as Id like to rant about feminism to anyone that would listen, and I think my reason for it may be because I haven't really liked my life and thought it was unfair. but learnt to tough it out anyway and learnt that life isn't fair to anyone and everyone has advantages and disadvantages and that's okay, you just gotta work harder. I think that feminism means everything should be fair for everyone even if they didn't put the effort in and that put a spin on my perspective that kept me going and I felt it was like a personal attack on my philosophy I somehow got into. I am being a bore now and I am aware of it but I just wanted to get my thoughts I'd learnt from this video out.

But it's good to know that even though it's a very interesting and convincing rant, the person actually cares little about it and it's simply masking something else.

I love ranting. When you do it with the right person, it creates a special connection between both. I feel like you can understand someone better when they talk about those small things because they probably don't think much about what they are saying so you can truly see what's inside them.

@Madison08851 7 лет назад

Summergirl123 I'd rather someone rant than have small talk about pointless things to be honest 😊

@95sofii 7 лет назад

I think that what you are saying is more like a conversation or discussion than a rant. For me, at least the ranting that is talked about in the video, is more like a one way conversation where the one who is talking doesn't really listen to other opinions or denies them and their opinions are the only and ultimate truth (which is what I dislike the most about this situations not so much that they don't talk about why they are interested in the topic)

@roidroid 7 лет назад

+Sofia Gutierrez The video didn't make that clear, so it's caused a lot of confusion. To a lot of us the word "rant" has been reclaimed, it can now be something positive, referring to passionate talk which can be part of a *mutually enjoyable* conversation.

@95sofii 7 лет назад

@CG0077 7 лет назад

We all do. Our anger or rage justly directed towards some abstract issue quells its cause. It obfuscates why the depth of our passion has formed and makes us forget the plethora of other troubles we face. Of course, it can be therapeutic just to let out some steam on a topic but do rant consistently will prevent us from ever moving forward. When everything is caused by capitalism, or the patriarchy, or feminism then the only possible solution is attack everything that established or resembles the problems of that system.. But of course to think like that prevents us from realizing that whilst there may be a serious issue to contend with, some of those problems are caused by issues from within, from internal problems we have not yet dealt with.

@cebulasmok7206 7 лет назад

So what does that say about me, if I rant to people when they are ignorant, blatantly wrong or stupid? That I was hurt by ignorance and stupidity? Come one, then entire human race would rant constantly, because everyone at some point in life experienced some stuff like that. What I seriously dislike about all modern psychological preachers is that they oversimplify people and human brain to the point of absurd, without having any concrete basis to do that, only loose observations of people behaviour. "I am scared of wild animals" "Oh, that means you had a terrible encounter with wild animal in your childhood, and no you have trauma and phobia." "No, I had not. I am simply scared of things that can kill me, since I am adult."

@CG0077 7 лет назад

Not at all, if someone is stupid or ignorant or blatantly wrong you can address those issues without ranting. Im sure everyone in the human race - assuming they know anything - would want to rant, even those you consider stupid and ignorant. It doesn't make them right because they rant and it doesn't make you right. If you know something someones else doesn't then you should be able to explain without ranting and by understanding there may be causes for their beliefs - maybe they watch too much fox news or have negative (or positive) experiences in certain social fields you have not. Ranting makes us feel good but it doesnt solve the issues it wants to deal with. And whilst It would be nice to simplify psychology to individual rationality its unfortunately not so simple, though an example like yours may well be accurate.

@gnarthdarkanen7464 7 лет назад

And so long as you understand (before you start ranting) that only some of the rest of us can take it as a comedy, while others will likely either walk away or throw stuff at you... You're probably perfectly safe to do so and enjoy it... There are (of course) better and worse times and places for all things, including rants. A modicum of decency and sensible judgment as to your audience and surroundings will carry you a long way toward better acceptance and help you avoid trouble (including the legal kind)... :o)

I agree. I’m trying to figure out how he’s come to this conclusion? I mean typically, people are vocal about specific causes bc they have some type of personal connection. I don’t think ranting everywhere & w/ everyone is helpful, but I don’t agree it immediately categorizes someone as a “bore.”

@fadid4468 7 лет назад

I'm passionate about a subject. I better not talk about it or I would be a bore.... But seriously, looking for childhood relations with your passion seems meaningless. Why would I ever want to reduce my passion about something in order to be more pleasant? The world changes because passionate people share their ideas loudly, with no hesitation or fear. Regardless, ideas should be discussed objectively using logical arguments, and not subjectively by relating them to the interlocutor's life.

@wwhattt 7 лет назад

Hate is a really bad way to try to change someone's mind, I think you have to try to understand their arguments not agree with them but try to understand so you could be able to tell them or show them where their arguments are flawed and where their beliefs fail this is why therapy works because they approach things with an open mind to try to understand why and not telling people that they are just plain wrong because all that would do just have the opposite effect. You can't really change someone's mind with hate you'll only entrench them more into their extreme opinions and it will make it harder or even impossible to change their minds.

@Hans-tr6dx 7 лет назад

ADP VLJ yeah i completely agree with you. I think it takes a lot of courage and character to change your mind and if you pressure another person by attacking them they cant change because if they would they would be seen as weakminded and weak in general. but if you help them understand your perspektive and dont pressure them with plain arguments they can change without beeing extremely weak. I hope you get the point i'm trying to say ^^

@Hans-tr6dx 7 лет назад

as a side effect when you rant, the opposite side is getting defensive and ignorant because they have to constantly defend themselves so yeah you may be right but you'll never achieve anything with such approachs

@TheBanjoShowOfficial 7 лет назад

I love it when people rant at me because that leads to an actual useful conversation that I can get into. It's only boring if you don't like deeper levels of conversation and just prefer gossip over meaningful dialogue. An argument doesn't have to be hostile and I never try to make it one. It can be quite enlightening to have a decent argument on a subject. You may not realize the opponent's side of the argument for the first few minutes or hours, but after awhile, you can start to realize the value of what your opponent actually said. It really is enlightening and useful to have arguments, even if it starts from a rant.

@paule5744 7 лет назад

there isn't a more personal story. when I talk politics it's because I care about politics. when I talk science Its because I like to talk about science. I'm willing to talk about personal subjects, except I honestly don't care. I'm 14 and have no dark personal experiences to force me to "rant" about politics. I just like to think and talk about the subject, more than talking about emotion. I prefer to speak about politics simply because they interest me.

@joeysung311 7 лет назад

As a young person, I've wondered why political discussions are so emotionally charged- "party X only believe this because they're dumb and ignorant". I really agree with the School of Life- people you disagree with usually aren't malicious- they're misguided and insecure. Ans so are we. I think it's about recognizing that other people are as conscious and as feeling as you are- a leap of faith? ALL arguments are motivated by emotion- some of them are more well-reasoned, some of them less. Even the utmost dedication to truth is to some degree self-gratifying or egotistical. I think we CAN make rational decisions, but only when we are have an emotional reason to do so. And I've realized that my own reservedness and detachment (in politics among other areas) is a result of my sheltered upbringing- When I find myself looking down on people that get "triggered", or get triggered about getting triggered, I still try to remind myself that people only act the way they do because their livelihoods are at stake, or their family always treated political parties like sports teams, or whatever. Yet I still believe that persuasion is more useful than an attack. My rant.

@binkao2938 7 лет назад

It seems to be the most well known board game too, which sucks since it's so awful. People don't know they could really like board games because they only got boring ass monopoly as a reference 😩 If people had been introduced to games that were actually good, more people would probably have this as a hobby and maybe some of my friends would have been open to the idea of playing with me 😂

@joeysung311 7 лет назад

@xzonia1 People fixate on different things, because of our different experiences, and a lot of it can seem trivial to others. Hobbies, obsessions, pet peeves. I think it's wrong to see this as something hobbyists and geeks do, while professionals don't. Although I think martin was at least partially joking, if you look at monopoly from a political perspective then I don't think it's fair to say it's not a non-issue, since capitalism and criticisms of capitalism are of widespread interest.

I personally enjoy meeting people that are passionate about their interests. It's typically not hard to uncover the origin of such beliefs, and it's far more stimulating to hear a passionate person rant in comparison to someone drone on with useless small talk. If their passion is genuine, even if I don't agree with their points, it's enjoyable to see how much they do. Not to mention, if you actually are interested in their topic, you can spend lots of time bonding and constructively exchanging viewpoints. I would only consider them a "bore" if they're a stubborn ass hole that won't have an actual conversation with you.

Feels like this was a bit of a thumb suck topic, guess I'm missing something yet again. Social interactions are subjective, what one could consider boring another may not. Saying that people don't like talking to "bores" because we sense they're not being honest seems a stretch. A few of my friends can talk about systems architecture for hours...so, it must be childhood trauma? Shall I bring the couch so that they can lay down while I ask them "...and how does that make you feel?" Not everything has to be so deep and meaningful. Just go talk to someone else if you aren't interested.

@iliftthingsupandputthemdow4364 7 лет назад

99.9% of the time school of Life is on point but this video wasn't really thought out. I think most people would say questioning your own beliefs and reflection on why we do what we do and think what we think is common sense, at least in the people I've known. What's more, the defining of being overly passionate or aggressive about a certain subject as a bore couldn't be more wrong. In fact, I'd say that ranting shows personal investment in publicly stating beliefs. And as such I'd say there is little more of a bore than is people who are "chill" about everything all the time . A person lacking any strong beliefs about at least a few things isn't very insightful, probably not very intelligent and an actual boring person who's thoughts aren't really what attracts friends or people but the general demeanor, though, like the ranter has a time and place and either is annoying if they happen allp the time.

While getting to the heart of the matter on why they believe something may be best route for a long discussion, people can challenge their own views without being treated like a child by providing a sound argument.

Personal responsibility, the ability to defer gratification and understand abstract reasoning. Basically: a fully-functioning pre-frontal cortex.

I friend who always rant! He also hates feminism. My friends and I are getting tired of it; is there a way that my friends and I can transition him out of it? If there isn't we can deal with it as long as possible.

@itzimac9659 7 лет назад

BadAtOverwatch1 Maybe ask him why he hates feminism so much.

@curiouswraith8069 7 лет назад

Maybe one day I can stop getting annoyed when I hear older people saying "in my time everything was better" and that young generations don't have respect, etc. Maybe they are just sad because they are getting old and can't keep up with our times?

@michaelbyrne5606 7 лет назад

heyjul 24 ...here's a question. Are some of these older individuals figures in your personal life that you've come to for growing?

@joeysung311 7 лет назад

Yeah. They probably also don't realize that when they were our age they were as dumb as us.

@victormatterstorm196 7 лет назад

@sofitssofi 7 лет назад

That'd be a bit of a weird conversation. Example : -Look at this post. Man, Femists are just awful, amirite? -Heh, yea, mate. -I think it's because my mom left me when I was a child. -...Oh. Yea, can't just discuss personal things like that with just everybody so people at first discuss either more general things or specific interests that don't put pressure on any party.

@MrJH101 7 лет назад

Usually when one of my friends gets way too personal about themselves like that out of nowhere mid-conversation, I simply say to them: "Whoa there, bro. Do you need a straw?" "What -- no. Why?" "So you can suck it the fuck up." My buddies and I all have thick skin and a dark sense of humor. So I get how weird it would be to say that to a total stranger if they suddenly wanted to unload all their personal baggage on you like that.

@thebigredwagon 7 лет назад

The video is ridiculous. So if someone at a party is 'ranting' about the evils of communism I should ask if or him/her was abused my a Russian or something. Every if Stalin had raped the speaker as a baby, it does not mean that his points are invalid and his stance on the topic is factual and correct. What was the point of this video?

I really like Alain de Botton's work. I am not sure whether he actually writes the video scripts or just does the voiceovers but either way they are really high value.

@thegossipswan009 7 лет назад

im the opposite of "a bore". im the one who makes jokes and entertain people. but there's always a bad side in everything. because I have this optimism and the youthful gemini spirit, many people expects from me to be telling jokes and be charmingly funny all the time even tho im sad or upset or angry. or just not in the mood for smiling at the moment. so immediately something is "so wrong" with me when im serious. but I guess that's how things work, people are always gonna question you or disapprove your attitude no matter if you're the "boring" or the "fun" type of a person.

@Amazology 7 лет назад

perhaps the optimism can be a double edged sword...and they see "serious" as out of character...and hence wrong. Don't get me wrong - I don't have any answers

@paulkuijpers 6 лет назад

Well I think you should focus more on yourself. The fact that you are blaming others says more about your insecurities. That's okay but don't blame 'people' for the fact that you can't express or acces your feelings properly.

@tharushka1 7 лет назад

some of your videos I'm watching over and over still I don't know what is the meanings of some particular words, concerts, etc.....I'm not complaining that your videos not good or can't understand at all. but when you guys are making videos, make sure that the content your making can understand by all people.

@rodrigomedeirosdasilva6915 7 лет назад

David chenkof Watch it with subtitles and search for the meaning of those words that you don't understand. That will help you understand TSOL's videos AND improve your vocabulary, which is a useful tool anywhere.

@tharushka1 7 лет назад

Rodrigo Medeiros da Silva thanks for the advice, but the real problem is there are some concepts which is perfectly explained in these videos but the way they use the English language is so strong that in my mind I can't gasp very well. that's why I suggested that when you guys making videos use simple words, simple phaces, so that everyone can understand regardless of their education, class, country, or race after all, they says "we want to make the world more emotionally intelligent place". I think the best way to do it by creating videos like these in a simple manner.

@CarrotConsumer 7 лет назад

Gary Platt Why do you feel that way though?

@stratoincendus3869 7 лет назад

Gary Platt Perhaps rather because they are Freudians and search for childhood problems as explanations for everything 😉. Most modern psychologists are actually behavioural therapists; Freud's whole "theory" suffers from circular logic, hence can't be falsified, hence is unscientific - and therefore effectively not a theory at all.

@ondreatorrence4322 7 лет назад

clarkeminusthee haha yeah sadly it is

@janettewong9900 7 лет назад

clarkeminusthee there are PhDs in lots of things. If there can be PhDs in things that literally haven't been in existence as long as gender e.g. Film, computer science, etc., then why not a PhD in the study on something so core to our identities? It makes sense as an offshoot of anthropology.

@hellzoneUK1991 7 лет назад

I'm not convinced feminism remains necessary Alain. Activism by and for women, yes. Support structures and programs for and by women, yes. The rights and freedoms the 1st and 2nd wavers fought for, sure. But feminism has a lot of seedy stuff going on under the hood, and a lot of hidden influence over our society that I think its necessary to call out in the light of day and discredit, dismantle or dismiss before I would be comfortable with calling it necessary.

@itzimac9659 7 лет назад

I'm interested in knowing more of this point of view of yours, mostly because the things you call out that we still need, are what we feminist fight every day for. I personally think all kind of movements have extremist and shady stuff, not only feminism, but I'm open to your point of view

@Rarykos 7 лет назад

Your definition of feminism must be terribly misguided then, I wonder where you picked that up. Because what you have described as necessary is feminism. If you don't like extremism in any policy then call it when you see it. But don't try to dismiss the whole idea of feminism as unnecessary. Because I might think that extremism in the fight for human rights is terrible and the whole idea of human rights is unnecessary. Am I against human rights or against extremism now? What you don't like is called extremism.

@garyplatt1111 7 лет назад

Feminism is only needed in places like the Middle East, but you won't hear feminists talking about that, because, of course, to criticise anyone but the white male would be racist.

@coxley 7 лет назад

Glad to see you talk about 'sensing' dishonesty or an alternate reason for their behaviour and not 'knowing'. If there's a behaviour I hate even more than 'ranting', it's 'armchair psychology' or that of hearing people make prejudicial assumptions about what another is thinking and the exact reason for their behaviour, which even a trained psychologist with access to valid and reliable background data is unqualified to. The most we can do is 'sense' or take into consideration possible influences.

@ckg3362 7 лет назад

These videos have PERFECT timing in my life

@itzimac9659 7 лет назад

I don't understand why people still HATE feminism. Really I don't. We still have a LONG way to become equal. Where do this people get their facts to state that we are close to become equal? I do live in a third world country, where woman are killed every day, raped every 5 minutes, and yes, men do get a lot of privileges just for being men. But I also have lived in America, and honestly, things are not that different. I don't understand why can't some people just see it, and it also terrifies me.

@ahmadhijaz1631 7 лет назад

Karen Macareno well they are bores who are technical and for the truth u.

@joeysung311 7 лет назад

Coming up with distorted images of feminism (superiority over men, offended at everything, etc.) might be a way of avoiding guilt, or having to take the issue seriously. I think it's somewhat similar to how much hatred people feel towards political parties they disagree with- maybe with even deeper roots, since family values are possibly even more deeply personal.

@qrup333 7 лет назад

Have you seen radical feminists 'arguing' random people on the street? You can't possibly think those 'distorted images' have no bases.

@stza16 7 лет назад

Men suffer from incarnation and rape more than women in America. Women are receiving more degrees. There is no pay gap when adjusted by occupation. American feminists are failing to promote gender equality and are belittling serious issues men face. However, women do have it worse on the global level. International feminism is still needed.

@Sofiaode18 7 лет назад

Joey Sung Do you seriously need to have a personal reason to hate feminism? I just don't want the world to be run by idiots is all. And those characteristics are not distorted images of feminism, it's not farfetched to say that it is how actual feminists act. Or let me guess, are those people not "real feminists"?

@TheBorkuleanEra 7 лет назад

@xzonia1 7 лет назад

@TheBorkuleanEra 7 лет назад

I'm against anything that promotes a certain race or gender. Promoting one type of human being over an other is unequal. The less people shove what they identify as down our throats, the more happier we will be.

@TheBorkuleanEra 7 лет назад

Genius Fucking Christ i have a few friends that I can debate with. It's positive energy, and there's no bad emotions that leave the room. Having friends that you can talk to about anything is the best thing a person can have (emotionally).

@AbsurdExistentialist 7 лет назад

I will try not to rant. Feminism, like the political left and the political right, looks different in every part of the world. It is not the same to identify as a feminist in the USA than to identify as a feminist in Saudi Arabia or in Argentina or in Peru or in Nigeria. Nothing is just black or white. The trick, I guess, is to adjust feminism to the needs of the people (both men & women) in that specific part of the world.

@TheBorkuleanEra 7 лет назад

I don't have personal problems tied with feminism. It's the things i've seen happen to people who try to speak out against it. They try to shut out people who oppose feminism. It's rude. I'd rather sit down and talk about it than yell and throw fists.

I'm that person who "sees misogyny in every corner" lol. I used to have endless passionate rants about the importance of feminism to my ex. He never understood my views fully and we would argue any time feminism/misogyny was brought up. I now realize that it stems from me being raped a couple years back and understanding the ties between living in a patriarchal society and the likelihood of rape.
