What's tiring is that not having an stance (sometimes for the valid reason of "I don't know enough to form one") is seen as agreeing with the "enemy" of whoever asked for such stance. It's even more tiring to be expected to be experts on all issues all the time. It's impossible at best and anxiety/stress inducing at worst. Even if you want to be an activist, it's more effective to focus on one core issue than to spread your time and energy over all issues.

@coraanimates58 3 года назад

I just realized how accurate this is to political quarrels, when the sides really argue, they point to the totems and say "this is you" and the other side denies it and then says the exact same thing, repeat forever

@coolestto 2 года назад

Nobody in modern politics argues accurately. I very rarely see people arguing against the true beliefs of an opposing viewpoint. Instead they attack an outrageous strawman which completely bypasses the logic of the true belief. Best example is abortion. Pro-life argues that "The pro-choicers are MURDERING CHILDREN! They are BLOODTHIRSTY and inhumane." Pro-choice argues "The pro-lifers are MISOGYNISTS who oppose abortion because they want to CONTROL WOMEN!" Not one person actually addresses the true divide in opinions, which is whether or not a human fetus constitutes a human being. If THAT were the focus of conversation, maybe we could actually get somewhere TOGETHER, but instead we're gridlocked by manufactured outrage.

@strawberryflavouredcloroxb1565 4 года назад

@daniel4647 4 года назад

It's more like the opposite. One of the things about depressed people is that they have limited neurogenesis, which means they become incapable of forming new thoughts so their mind basically get stuck in a loop they can't get out of. They become more or less incapable of accepting new thoughts, they only accept thoughts that conform to ideas they already have. Tell a depressed person why and how things are not so bad the only thing they'll do is find a reason why it is and why that person is wrong and stupid and just trying to hurt them and so on, they can't accept the idea because they're not forming new neurons, or at least a lot less of them than regular people, and will therefore never see things from a new perspective. Why this happens nobody knows. But that's what medication tries to do, basically kickstart neurogenesis. But without it being combined with therapy/spiritual guidance they'll just create new depressing thoughts, so they'll need someone to guide them in order to form more positive ideas going forward.

I started practicing heavy brain hygiene last year. For those with anxiety like myself, being ignorant of anything happening outside your immediate sphere of influence is such a healthy thing. You learn so much about tackling the problems you can actually spend time solving rather than stressing over issues that you can’t do anything to change.

Happy to see CGP back in the recommendations in 2022 and revisit these videos. Whims of the algorithm I guess. This one is quite topical today. The most depressing part of this is that, what do you do once you get tired of hearing your side demonising a straw man version of the other? Try to talk to the other side and hear them demonise a straw man version of yours?

I swear, the comments for this video are some of the CALMEST and happiest I've ever seen for any RU-vid comments section. It's as if everyone is consciously AVOIDING getting angry just to prove the video wrong about them. Even the "angry" comments you see here aren't actually angry. They're just jokes poking fun at anger, itself. Hell, even trolling is virtually nonexistent! That is, I barely see ANYONE in the comments saying anything that's INTENDED to bait other people into angry arguments. I only see "pretend trolls" here, which are basically just people who are PRETENDING to be trolls and have no real intention of instigating angry responses as real trolls would. *The title of this video should be called "Reverse Psychology" because that's exactly what it is -- getting people to avoid anger by telling them they will be angry.*

@AirahsELL 8 лет назад

The very idea of a meme is that ideas really can't be "stolen" as opposed to "shared" if things like that happen. I'm not sure if Dawkins legitimately stole the idea or put his own take on it, but he made a meme out of describing memes if it was the latter.

@necronlordoflawtan 8 лет назад

And the biggest issues with the theory of memetics are: No physical, measurable explanation for the proposed phenomenon The mutability of thoughts are such that a stable descent is not possible, and thoughts mix in ways not applicable to reproduction/genetics/population curves. (If they were, a human could mate with a fly, and get a cow) Folkloristics and other such fields make models and setups more comprehensible and useful than those proposed after Dawkins's memetics
