I totally agree ...
By: SlothbearFan. on 28 May 12, 11:46:20
I totally agree with the narrator; I have heard before that ADHD is a made up disease; I knew a little boy who was told he had it and took a drug for it like Ritalin. When I saw him many years later as a young man in his late teens, he seemed? to have lost some of his intelligence. I was so sad for him that his mother allowed him to be drugged in this way to make him behave in elementary school.

Nor should we ...
By: darrylgm. on 28 May 12, 10:54:48
Nor should we forget the dedicated teachers who freely give up their own time in an attempt to stimulate and motivate the students, who give up their? weekends to take kids on excursions, who worry about students and who, god-forbid, CARE.

(continue from the ...
By: ailin1986. on 27 May 12, 21:13:22
(continue from the previous) So, I think, school never has to adjust itself to that kind of mind work. How can we provide better, more stimulating classes without? getting an uncritical but emotionally simulating result? (And forgive my bad english, I'm not originally anglophone, nor I live in an anglophone country. But I try my best to communicate my doubt)

On the ADHD ...
By: ailin1986. on 27 May 12, 21:08:07
On the ADHD discussion: I really agree on the problem resulting from the distance between stimulating non-schoolar activities (video games, internet, etc) and traditional lesson. BUT, even uploading class methods, there's an imperative that cannot be left away: learning things takes lots of work. Hard work. The advanced technologies develop advanced fun stuff that puts some brains to work but mostly, I think, they rest upon the sensitive stimulation and not? intellectual effort. (lack of space)

collaboration ...
By: WrongParadox. on 27 May 12, 09:46:07
collaboration doesn't necessarily lead to better results it can result is a mediocre mob mentality where people are 'brainstorming' but are merely giving responses that they think the other? people on the committee want or expect. Or they are there purely to get political or social advantage over their peers and others, and have an interest in making their rivals look bad.

I agree on? that.
By: soundsower1. on 27 May 12, 06:31:47
I agree on? that.

True, there's ...
By: BritBoot. on 27 May 12, 05:23:06
True, there's misdiagnosis out there too (I? meant to add that along with the over-prescribing and black market medication abuse points). However, my husband and brother would have benefited tremendously had they been diagnosed as children and not just as adults. And to make a blanket statement that ADHD meds turn people into zombies is just irresponsible and wrong. It tough enough choosing to take that road without being pressured with misinformation like this.

He didn't call ADHD ...
By: soundsower1. on 27 May 12, 05:08:01
He didn't call ADHD a myth. He called ADHD being an epidemic a myth, which I agree on. I do believe in ADHD, and you make a valid point, but it's also important to accept the fact that ADHD has been used as an excuse. In fact, I was almost diagnosed with ADHD when I was a kid,? when the real issue was that I wasn't being challenged enough at school because I was gifted, and that I was just getting bored (Not bragging). We both agree, we're just emphasizing on different parts of the argument. :P

Of course that ...
By: BritBoot. on 27 May 12, 04:20:28
Of course that happens too, but this just damages the reputation of ADHD and its treatment for those who really do suffer from it (and really do benefit from medication). There are so many people out there who don't even believe ADHD is a real thing and Sir Ken perpetuates that myth. He has obviously never lived in close range to an ADHD sufferer or seen the benefits that? treatment can bring.

He doesn't ...
By: BritBoot. on 27 May 12, 04:19:33
He doesn't understand that ADHD is a real affliction in? most cases and that treatment (including medication) can be a positive life-changer. It should not make "zombies" out of people if prescribed correctly, quite the opposite. The media is keen to jump on cases where ADHD medication has been misused, either over-prescribed, or sold on the black market to college students to get better results on their papers or tests.

Have you read Youtube comments or? Facebook statuses lately?

By: soundsower1. on 27 May 12, 03:54:18
this only 12 minutes out of an hour long speech. Maybe he did talk about it, I don't know. And yes, socioeconomic status is a huge ballplayer in changing education, you are right. But, like? he said, that's what collaboration is for. Improvement in the education is very possible, especially if we collaborate instead of criticizing.

What doesn't he ...
By: soundsower1. on 27 May 12, 03:51:20
What doesn't he understand? I guess I don't understand it either, then. I only know? just as much as he has said.

Of course? he was ...
By: BritBoot. on 26 May 12, 16:38:22
Of course? he was being elegant/eloquent - he's a beautiful speaker. He just lacks understanding of ADHD.

If you think he was ...
By: kingcocomango. on 26 May 12, 10:48:37
If you think he was not being elegant, then I presume you did? not fully comprehend what was going on.

how do you? have a ...
By: vesperhesperus. on 26 May 12, 03:05:06
how do you? have a discussion about changing education without race or class? "adhd is (maybe) a myth", are you fucking kidding me? that's hardly the worst thing happening even if it were true! school-to-prison pipeline, anyone? the absurdly high drop out (PUSHED out) rates? the drawings are nice but the lecture's fatuous. the most common key to success is privileged socioeconomic status! so yes, his works apply to a select few, but what about the swathes of kids not even getting that much?

Speculating about ...
By: 23456Mr1. on 25 May 12, 23:46:11
Speculating about the geniuses of kindergarteners was not the point. The point is that kindergarteners have more potential for creativity, Schooling does? make an adult know more but makes them passive.

Public education is ...
By: 23456Mr1. on 25 May 12, 23:36:17
Public education is inefficient anyway, especially in an era where the? Internet can provide more information than low-paid teachers can ever do.

Why do we have to ...
By: best496. on 25 May 12, 21:55:26
Why do we have to take English 4 times in high school to graduate? I think we should only have to take English two times and take mathematics and science four times each. I speak English, I learned it when I was born so why should I have to take it so much? in high school?

Just what we need, ...
By: universalsailor. on 25 May 12, 16:10:26
Just what we need, another buzz word ... You limit kids by not making them fluent in the three Rs. Teach a child to read and express him/herself with good grammar, and make him/her numerate. There's your grounding for everything else. Perhaps the biggest need today is to teach everyone to take responsibility for their? own shortcomings and then remedy them.There's way too much "it's not my fault" thinking doing the rounds.

Is not about ...
By: drnrqsldch. on 25 May 12, 11:23:28
Is not about teaching art... is the way? you teach stuff, or "limitate" the minds of the children.

By: Ja14111948. on 25 May 12, 09:48:57
don't forget the laziness? of teachers.

He aint WRONG, but ...
By: Eoghanlebar. on 25 May 12, 06:28:35
He aint WRONG, but he doesn't really have anything useful to say. Siegfrieg Engelmann has taken education to the level of a SCIENCE with Direct Instruction (DI), and hardly anyone knows or cares.? Michel Thomas's language lessons use the same principles of design as DI to make em work 100 times more efficiently than any other language learning program out there. Engelmann and Michel Thomas both have (had) critical marketing failures, but if you want to fix education, LOOK TO THEM!

The question is not ...
By: SDS4BO. on 24 May 12, 19:10:29
The question is not how do we fit children into a future economy, the question is, when will we provide them examples of frugality, thriftiness, and prudence, right now? Don't worry about the children when your own government is spending itself into the toilet and leaving the burdens to the children. Worry about how you will find some repsonsible adults? to take the reins back from the immature jokers in our country's administration.

Emotions aside, ...
By: norevelation. on 24 May 12, 08:07:57
Emotions aside, acknowledging my poor education as a reason to my? financial situation is not an "everyone else's fault" mentality. I'm actually having difficulty understanding how you became of that assumption considering the inconsistencies of the connection. Oh well, I have given it more speculation than needed.

By: CharasDub. on 27 May 12, 10:11:03
Interesting concept, that of purpose-maximisation. In these years where we know that the universe is made out of cells and atoms and we know why things happen and we know that time WILL go on, people are asking themselves what? is their purpose in this reality? Some find the answers within religion; to be rewarded after death, others instead try to make a difference in the world and do things that will benefit others in the future. At least, this is my opinion on the matter.

By: TheKibeer. on 24 May 12, 16:05:15
I believe undeveloped are undeveloped because they haven't got grip on free trade and rule of law. Even China could do much better with some human rights and less corruption. It is the whole package - free trade and people. You cut? one you cut both resulting in lesser prosperity. However there will always be some realms poorer than others. Humanitarian aid makes often things worse in the long run and exporting democracy is not easy if even possible. Money represents sum of goods and services.

Once the oil gets too expensive, investment will go elsewhere - it already started. You can hassle it by gov regulation but can prove to be contra productive - we reduce use of fossil fuels too much and will be stuck with them for longer time.Free trade with fair play (gov oversight) aka capitalism is the best option we have

At first at 1:00 the test is described as "higher the performance, higher the pay" but at 1:40 talking about the same test it has flipped to total opposite "Higher the pay, higher the performance." Weird. I would also like to see the actual test records to know what it was really about. Though I? totally agree with the conclusion that money is a poor motivator in tasks that require creativity.

How was this test done exactly? They reward the high performance with most money, yet ones who got most money had the lowest performance. That cant be technically possible. If you'd just said "higher stakes => more stress" "too? much stress => bad performance" It wouldnt have been so suprising. In that light the conclusions are a bit radical. So is this video just misleading in purpose of manipulation? I have to dislike it due to that.

That video is not a forum to prove anything - it is there to inspire the scientific community to look into this more.

Of cause I am also all in for empowerment, I just whant some ethics to go along with is. This life approach really doesn't? make us into anything else than opputunists, if we don´t do that. Empowerment should be based on values - not on ability to enter open doors before others does.

By: fragman08. on 24 May 12, 19:52:53
Of course it isn't their fault, I'm? not saying it is. I didn't mention your point because I thought it too obvious to bother affirming, you're right. Sure. There is a trend of blaming the victims, I know. But at the same time the 'victims' should find a way to empower themselves in spite of circumstances beyond their control, and self defeatist thinking does them no good. For their own sake, not for the sake of other people's feelings.

By: Aviajamin. on 24 May 12, 19:45:31
What I really don´t like, is the guilt that this thought about positive thinking is spreading. An ex:According to this thought, it is fat peoples own fault that they are fat, so now they do not only have to carry the burden of extra weight, social jugdement and all the difficulties that comes along with being heavy, no, they also have to recognize that they are sinners, for not thinking happy enough.I? think we should rather support and accept eachother, than deside what is the best lifeapporach

By: Aviajamin. on 24 May 12, 19:33:28
This saying, that tells us? to be happy and see opportunities all the time, where does it come from anyways? Is it a product of a cultural grounding thought, that we need to be productive and happy or else we do not get the best out of life? Why? Why can´t we cry or be angry and unproductive for a while, and let others carry us, untill we get well and can carry others? When a door closes, why is it not okay to feel the pain that comes with it, and let it have an influence on our life for a while?

By: Aviajamin. on 24 May 12, 19:26:17
I only ignored your point because you ignored mine... I do agree on your point - but my point is, that even if you are doing everything you can to be possitive and see opportunities all the time, life can be a bitch sometimes, and I do not think it is very helpfull to those who experience unemployment, death in family, rape, hurricaines, depressions, mental illness, illnes in generel, ec. - to make it nearly a tabu to say "this is shit", before? they sayi "Shit happends - now lets move on...."

By: fragman08. on 24 May 12, 17:40:38
good job totally ignoring my point. I never said thoughts are able to magically rectify any situation we find ourselves in, I said 'positive' thought can lead us to become aware of opportunities around us. When? such opportunities do not exist, as in the case of 'starving children' (presumably in third world nations) Then obviously no amount of thought will help. You are ever so disingenuous. Try again, derp.

By: fenderkid6. on 24 May 12, 13:57:57
A lot of the skepticism here is rather misplaced. I doubt any rational person would say thoughts directly influence reality. However, the way one perceives the world undeniably affects one's interaction with it, this includes actions an individual might take, and where it would lead them. Single minded determination often succeeds because it permeates our life and we subconsciously and consciously find ways to? realise our goals.

By: Aviajamin. on 23 May 12, 07:20:30
That is a really bad argument. Positive and negative thinking has both consequenses, if it is followed up with action or not. But that is not the point here. The point is, that you can not blame your way of thinking for everything that is happening to you. And you can not? control what happends to you, with your thinking...

A strong mind will naturally take action when focusing on something. action is an extension of the mind. . Only a? delusional mind thinks it's focusing on something while not really having the willpower to carry it out. Mostly those are thoughts implanted by an outside source and have no honest power. .

By: blackdeckbox. on 20 May 12, 11:48:47
Not really, you need a balance. Positive thinkers DO look at problems, but in a positive way. Ipod is coming out! Even though our profit is lower than as expected, I believe Ipod2 will generate better profits! But how? Negative thinkers will go Ipod is a disaster! We are losing money everyday over this product, we should try a different approach. Both are good, it's only when you become TOO happy or TOO depressed that? it becomes delusional.

By: Simmy56. on 18 May 12, 23:34:17
You cannot attribute the financial crisis to positive thinking and ideology. Organizational inertia, power and ambition, as well as a political environment? which permitted risk taking are all much larger factors. Wall street executives did not make risks and ignore bad omens because someone told them to have a "positive" attitude. Rather, our cognitive limits in thinking, social? pressures such as group think, and a financial system which rewards risks are much larger contributing factors.

By: yrbabuena. on 18 May 12, 12:04:08
I consider "positive thinking" to be negative, & "negative thinking" to be positive. Pos. thinkers don't like looking at problems. Neg. thinkers not only look at problems, we dwell on them, to *solve* the problems. Therefore, we're the ones who come up w/solutions! Pos. thinkers let probs. persist! (Some neg. thinkers dwell w/no intention finding solutions. They are probably expressing grief indirectly, & that should be respected/supported, to allow the person to resolve it in? their own time.)

By: csick02. on 23 May 12, 23:31:16
I had an epiphany similar to this a few years ago while traveling in? Italy. While walking the streets in Florence, I kept seeing banners that said, "Pace" (pronounced pah-che) meaning peace, in English. Reflecting on its meaning, I thought of the same word in the context of the English language. In English, "pace" refers to rhythm or some function of time. I then realized that an understanding of rhythm or "pace" is essential to an understanding of peace, and how to attain it in the world.

By: frostyuk2007. on 23 May 12, 19:24:19
Schools teach children to OBEY authority, this removes responsibility from the child and denies them the opportunity to ever understand critical thinking and freedom, replacing it with unquestioning loyalty to their slave owners. Religion and governments, they both teach humanity how to be slaves. People behave differently when authority figures are present, this leads to unconscious slavery? leaving humanity with a mere illusion of freedom.

By: sleepyballoons. on 20 May 12, 06:02:51
Ahhh, I see! I definitely agree with you here; however,? would you agree? that it takes a bit of both (present action, future goalmaking; and while we're at it, understanding from past experience) to be a successful innovator? I wouldn't assign the label of innovator to be exclusive to either. I think a present-oriented person who learns to act for the future can be just as successful of an innovator as a future-oriented person who capitalizes on the present.

By: CarptheFish. on 20 May 12, 04:48:50
(Just noticed I posted two versions of the same reply. >.< ) There's a difference, in my mind, between the (future-oriented) planner and the (present-oriented) innovator: The first sees where the trend lines are pointing, plans? accordingly, and carries out that plan; they're all about delayed gratification. The second sees the condition currently on the ground, and by responding cleverly to them, creates what then becomes the future; they have made their work and their play one.

By: sleepyballoons. on 20 May 12, 02:43:12
Hm, I'll have to think about that more. I would think that many of the Big Names in science--and I thought the video alluded to that--are more future-oriented. In no way would those who are future-oriented ride on the coattails? of those living in the present. Those who see into the future are innovators who create things never seen before--they just, as you mentioned,? need a bit of that present-time recklessness and love for the moment.

By: sleepyballoons. on 20 May 12, 02:24:56
Good point. The mistakes I were referring to were the particularly hedonistic ones that afflict our society, and it's true that there needs to be a balance of all views of time in order to be successful innovators, life lovers, and history appreciators. I guess the tough thing for most people to break their bad present-time habits is the fact that it's so dang? fun and easy to be reckless.

Why thank you. ^^ ...
By: CarptheFish. on 20 May 12, 00:56:01
Why thank you. ^^ Btw, I'm not saying the future-oriented are riding our coattails; far from it! It takes /tons/ of planning to convert flashes of brilliance into a better life. But it goes both ways: it's true, if cliché, that innovation and entrepeneuership are the greatest engines of progress. But these are risky endeavors: mostly, they fail specracularly. So it takes a certain, disciplined kind of? recklessness to make those advances /that you bet on when you put money in the bank or stocks./

Why thank you, ...
By: CarptheFish. on 20 May 12, 00:40:31
Why thank you, though I think one could say more for "people like me" than that. Take the Big Names in? science and the arts, for instance: Opened up whole new fields, changed the way we live, usually for the better. I don't think they did that as a means to some future goal. Hell, most of them /couldn't even imagine/ where their work would lead. No, they /couldn't help/ making those leaps and bounds, it was their nature. And crucially, /they were allowed to chase their dreams/.

Ah, but I don't ...
By: CarptheFish. on 20 May 12, 00:24:27
Ah, but I don't know if what you can forsee is actually there. Many "forsee" wrongly. That leaves me with what /I/ can forsee, with confidence...and that's not very much. The things important to me?my friends, figuring out myself, the advance of science, free/open source software, getting a job so I can have real free time?they're not really predictable. So why would I attempt to live? in the future when I know nothing about what matters most to me there? I'll live it when it becomes the present.

By: 23456Mr1. on 18 May 12, 21:55:03
Even kids hammered from birth in future-oriented behaviour become present-hedonists? if said behaviour leads to nothing. Behaviours get more valued if they make rewards. Hence why education nowadays is shit: you don't get a big payoff from a straight A (only illusory ones), parents already pay you with everything simply for existing in the present, the Internet provides up-to-date info (back then schools were primary info source), and how our ADD makes us see "years" as "eternity" thus despair.

One individual might be afraid to break out and do something defying the norm, however the change can come from one, it often does. Plato, Buddha, Einstein, Lenin or Hitler. Society is a very unbalanced system, and a social change deviating from the ideology of today would lead towards the extremes of the past involving class systems and excessive appeal to authority. Maybe such a radical change is not crucial.

As Prof Salecl points out, but then seems to come to the opposite conclusion, the problem is not the system, it is the way people respond. I'm lucky because I don't suffer from the "I have too many options" problem that most people? have. Maybe because I am not afraid of making a mistake which probably comes from the fact that I am "comfortable in my own skin". In other words, I don't worry about "what will people think."

people are corrupt because BIg Government gives them power to do so. They tax and spend us into oblivion and all the corporations in America can't bail us out.

By: SDS4BO. on 24 May 12, 19:02:25
Let the individual buyers beware, not the collective usurpers in the government. The government is nothing more but a giant corporation with the force of law. It is anti-competitive with all other corporations and when you remove competition you remove the incentive to make the corporations better. At least rather than one giant corporation, i.e. the government, you have many corporations whose long term? survival depends upon getting sustenance from the free market -which keeps them honest.

By: SDS4BO. on 24 May 12, 19:00:17
Your statistics are the failure here. You fail to account for the usurpation of the marketplace which has been happening ever since government learned they could dupe people into thinking they were accomplishing good by wealth redistribution? when in fact they were doing the opposite.

There is no justification for usurping the freedom of the individual to subject him and her to the whimsical forces of government who are also comprised of fallible individuals who run a giant corporation which dips its hands into every individual's pocket and makes them into slaves. tinyurl dot com 3k3zke

But we aren't interested in the most important thing in our lives. Our own happiness. That happiness is found in denying yourself and living for others.

That would be case if capitalism was intrinsically bad, which is not. It's not perfect either, and this is were regulation and laws are implemented to (in theory) try to fix the imperfections. And so poverty is not intrinsically related to capitalism exploitation. Many times it's due to corrupt governments, social-political movements or laws which isolate a group of people, discrimination, exploitation (regardless of economical? structure), charity is not really directly related to any of these.

By: HamidKarzai. on 10 May 12, 21:31:31
Whether your charity is smart or not, it still requires money, and that money is going to come directly (from people like Soros) or indirectly (from your charitable average Joe) from profits made by capitalist exploitation. The same exploitation that creates the very people who need charity! By providing charity you ameliorate? the problems created by capitalism, and in doing so you prolong capitalism's lifespan, which will go on to create more poverty.

I also didn't like his tone when he referred Toms shoes (i might be bias here). He stereotypes them by stating that they give shoes to "some African nation". Yeah they have given shoes to African Nations, but the founder's inspiration were shoeless kids in Argentina (and they have given to kids in United States). It doesn't affect the point he wanted to make, yeah they make a business out of that,? but I feel he was stereotyping and simplifying too much to make his point.

Charity is amoral? agree in the sense that, yes, there are charitable? organizations which don't deal with the core problems. Yet,someone has to do something short term. Changing the core problem would usually take a long time, who's going to help out those in need while the fixing process is taking place? Of course Im referring to smart charity, not going to some place and giving them free stuff, but groups that make well thought out plans suggested by the the same people they intend to help

The presumption that a human would first have to untie the world to be able to empathize with an alien is false. . you can make friends with an alien but still not care about someone on the other side of the world In a lot? of ways that someone is still more alien to me than an ET being i actually get to meet. . This has been recognized so in order to force the World Order either every race, economy and culture has to mix (preposterous) or an external threat has to emerge. .

Likely we'll see? their side of things and start building a mutually beneficial relationship. . But the rest of the country only hears rumors about them. How many of the rest will be willing to accept them into their homes? None. . If the city gains bad impressions likely the whole race will be shunned as a defense mechanism. Good impressions- we'll be cautiously curious. .

i'm trying to say that Christians are? arguably the most emphatic of all, the European civilization proves it (even if some self-critically like to nit pick all the bad and exaggerate still it is incomparable to the rest) . but even for us it's hard to empathize with every bad thing that happens around the world. contribute locally. .

By: cat1818. on 17 May 12, 11:51:12
If we think of theological, tribal and nation state ´empathic ties´, the empathy that we feel towards them is based on an idea of ´sameness´- that we share some sort of cultural or? ideological history/destiny. But ´sameness´ can only be appreciated when placed in opposition to ´otherness´- those that are not the same as us. The idea of ´belonging´ can only make sense when we consider what, and who, we are NOT rather than who we are. A ´global empathy´ is unlikely unless we discover alien life..

I agree in a greater since of unity, but I think the individual is still very important. Take for instance the Haiti? example, yes if you look at it on a one-dimensional level, people acting in self interest would not give toward Haitian relief. However, it is very possible for humans to be pleasure-seeking, utilitarian, and directed by self interest but still follow these principles of empathy. Empathy gives us pleasure when we give.

On the other hand, if they had to work for the money, it may also increase empathy for other people, since a baseline for the value of the 10$ would have been? established. As to whether or not that would encourage altruism under those circumstances actually depends on sociological construction, which is wholly ignored in favor of vast generalizations.

Being a? physicist, a lot of what I do involves statistical analysis. In particular, there is a phenomenon known as the "Simpson Paradox" which arises when statistical averages are drawn while disregarding the groups which comprised the whole. In short, lumping groups together irrespective of the nature of those individual groups creates a misleading/false average. So, when he says "on average," my first question is: "What social groups comprised the whole from which the average is drawn?"

Altruism is a product determined by the level at which one falls on the spectrum of entitlement.

Science can't explain the people who give? away 100%. While, actually, let's look at this scientifically. If people give 100% in a lab, and they obviously don't outside the lab, there is probably a difference in the lab that isn't present outside it. The difference is probably that giving money, in a scenario where everyone is watching what you give and all of them have an exactly equal ability to give, people would be more likely to give, and less likely to take. Openness keeps us honest.

By: ailin1986. on 27 May 12, 22:10:28
Plus, saying it clearly is not the same as "saying it all,? at any risk for whatever". Let's keep it simple: when there's a need of communication, saying it directly is more honest. Of course, there's a lot of false honesty out there. But that's of mutual knowledge...

By: dunneh. on 26 May 12, 18:07:36
What I mean by 'being direct' is not to be rude but to lessen miscommunication/misunderstandings. E.g. Someone I care about is avoiding me lately. It's easy to assume that it's something I did, but I don't know. Most people won't come right out and ask 'hey, is it me?' I would; but I find that in an? effort to spare my feelings, others will shy away from saying what they mean- even if that's what I want- thinking that in not facing me, I'd be less hurt, when in actuality, the opposite is true.

Yet you must step outside yourself and ask, 'is it just obvious to me, or is it? obvious to everyone?'. I bet you can think of a ton of socially awkward individuals who, if this was so obvious as you claim, wouldn't be in the position they find themselves in. Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions, as everyone may not be as intelligent as you.

This is only my quick thought. We tend to fight, war, divide? Are we violent? Can we divide & debate & return to getting along with each other? Can we have different experiences & avoid? violence? We divide from family when we leave home & become different from our families but in some instances gain identity & respect &can still get along with our families.Are things really violent or is it a process of change? Do we need limits?These are general thoughts.

I am not religious. Is man essentially facing the same challenges as way back then? Is there clear evidence of Jesus' attempts to tackle the challenges of the da?. Would his solutions work today? Is so, may be worth reading what he did then. However the first place we can look for problems needing solving is in ourselves. First place? we can also then fix problems is in our selves. We have the mistakes and the solutions. Help ourselves and then help others is the shared version of this.

It doesn't matter how much you reason with them or what evidence you produce because it's a pathology. Studies even show that psychopaths brain's are incapable of discerning facial expressions.

I find it quite amusing how people - (especially in the US) - have been brainwashed into thinking that any action which leads to a decrease in inequality is automatically 'Socialist' or 'Communist'. I speak as someone to the right of the political spectrum who is very much in favour of meritocracy. However, meritocracy - which I believe? Thatcher encouraged - has been in the last few years largely dead or dying, and we are moving towards a plutocracy.

By: hols2000. on 07 Nov 11, 10:09:28
The USA used to be a republic, not everyone had the right to vote. Now everyone has this right that's why you have the tyranny of the majority - that's what democracy is about. Under such conditions people tend to make stupid laws like giving the privileges to a group that shouts the? loudest while suppressing the other groups (example: Obamacare). Law isn't perfect, that's true, but the aim of it is to protect the government from regulating too much, aka making stupid laws.

May I present a ...
By: CurtHowland. on 03 Nov 11, 01:41:23
May I present a different? direction of thought? In a Republic, in order for a govt program to exist it has to have overwhelming support. Yet, if there is such overwhelming support for such a thing, the people who believe in it are more than capable of paying for it themselves, without the "gun to the head" that is taxation. Those who need a program, by definition in my opinion, can't afford it themselves. But basic "needs" are quite inexpensive and people who care help out voluntarily.

From what I see ...
By: Ecapsora. on 03 Nov 11, 00:41:05
From what I see today, I agree. It's difficult to get? social programs to work with public money. Those who need these programs can't afford to pay for them, so the govt funds them, but people (those who can already afford them) don't want to pay for it with taxes, so the govt lowers how much money they spend, so social programs don't get the funding they need to work properly, and the govt has to spend more to fix it. Vicious circle

The poor don't ...
By: Ecapsora. on 03 Nov 11, 00:31:22
The poor don't mismanage their money, it's done for them. Think about it poor families can't send their children to college. Without a college education it is near impossible to get a high paying job? (Self made dropouts are rare in reality) Minimum wage jobs no longer match the cost of living (food, rent, heat, gas etc.) They get credit to fill the gap, and credit card agencies love the working poor because it's LITERALLY impossible to get out of debt when you're living paycheck to paycheck

OK so you're ...
By: Ecapsora. on 03 Nov 11, 00:16:09
OK so you're obvisouly right wing/libertarian and you hate the idea of welfare, lets get past that. I'm curious as to what your socio-economic status is. Generally people with your point of view either are self-made or have never needed to support themselves by working on the bottom tiers (the poor, lower class, working student, graduates with student debt cause you can't work and study and break even theses days,) and I get? the feeling you haven't wanted for money in your life.

most of them can't ...
By: Ecapsora. on 03 Nov 11, 00:00:38
most of them can't because multi-national businesses are allowed to pay employees less than required for basic necessities. If you work two jobs to make ends meet you can't do night school. You can't join the army if you're unfit because you can't afford meat and vegetables, so you and your children eat the cheaper fast food. Starting? a business is no guarantee of success but is guaranteed debt and you won't have health insurance either. That is a free country over social equality.

Something you ...
By: CurtHowland. on 02 Nov 11, 23:51:11
Something you should look up is the very short book "Bureaucracy" which demonstrates? why govt agencies cannot, ever, spend money "wisely". I would also suggest "Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth" by the same author, Ludwig von Mises, for why saying this or that quantity of money is a complete waste of time when discussing govt agencies.

By: Ecapsora. on 02 Nov 11, 23:41:55

IT wasn't just "throw money at it" it was use the money wisely, where it was needed, when it is needed and spent the right way to be effective in the long run.

By: Ecapsora. on 02 Nov 11, 23:36:44
The USA is a republic and they aren't doing any better. The purpose of government is to make laws that aren't stupid by representing the? best interest of the most people possible. The difficulty is that private money skews government perspective and changes the law to suit their purpose. Rule of majority isn't perfect but I wouldn't want to live in a police state where you don't have any say in the way things are run. We just need to make government more responsible as well.

Notice how you insert the words "assume" & "most" - undefined words in the context. And so no, it does not "sound reasonable", though you may like the sound of it. You have definitions in mind that you assume are universal - a bit vain I would say. And no, 90% did not reckon? they are better than most people, rather they claimed (did not reckon) to be better than "average", their own personal definition of "average" in the driving context. You change words - recast the past .

By: rh001YT. on 27 Aug 11, 17:41:19
"If the study was done well" that is the matter, yes? And who will decide, you? Sudstrom supports my complaints? about how such studies have been conducted. Psychologists are for the most part boobs & cons - they are not of much use, as evidenced by little if any usable product coming from them - and look what they give us: Orange interiors for fast food resaurants prevent customers from lingering. All the while there are interior designers who can make heavens (w/o psych degrees)

By: rh001YT. on 27 Aug 11, 17:35:56
"I couldn't care less" - well now perhaps some honesty has leaked out of you. Yes you use language incorrectly - you confuse value judgements? with matters than can be defined w/ little or no judgement. "Science" blah blah. I'm an engineer, I know about science AND value judgement, primarily because I have to translate fuzzy marketing dept ideas into a working tangible product. "Science!" totally over-rated, and often a favorite mask of slave-moralists.

By: Richardscjj. on 27 Aug 11, 10:49:36
People do lie- there are? biases and perception effects in there as well. On another note I think these videos are meant to stimulate debate not to be rock solid pronouncements on the state of reality- think of it as a springboard for expanding your knowledge and see if you can prove him wrong with scientific evidence if you feel you are correct. I hope you enjoy learning stuff- as for me I have stuff to do so goodbye and good luck. Knowledge is power :) the world is an amazing place

By: Richardscjj. on 27 Aug 11, 10:45:34
The Anna Sudstrom paper is about how perceptions of driving are related to reality not about the perceptions themselves- I sent you there because I thought you might be interested in the slightly tangential research. If the study was done well then personal definitions of average will have been controlled for- psychologists are? quite good at this now! Psychology research is a minefield I suggest you do some research and read carefully-abstracts are pretty useless I'm afraid.

Look up perception ...
By: Richardscjj. on 27 Aug 11, 10:41:58
Look up perception effects in google scholar please before you decide whether I use language correctly-they are well documented and accepted as facts I'm afraid. Perhaps some more research? on your part would let you build an argument based on science. As for the word 'wonderful' I apologise if you found that patronising or cowardly I was merely trying to take the issue off the table. Obviously it's something you have strong feelings about- I honestly couldn't care less.

Wow. where? to ...
By: Richardscjj. on 27 Aug 11, 10:34:42
Wow. where? to start, ok let's start at the beginning then. If I ask you if you are above average at something what do you assume? I think most people assume that means do you think that you are better than most people at it. Does that sound reasonable? so the point that the study found was that 90% of people reckon they are better than most people at driving. Maybe they are? the study didn't look at actual driving and doesn't claim to because that's not the point.

The abstract for ...
By: rh001YT. on 26 Aug 11, 21:52:51
The abstract for the Anna Sudstrom paper supports my postion, that various "studies" of "self-assessed" driving skills are full of probs rendering them rather useless, amongst those probs a diff between what the respondent thinks is the defintion of? 'average" and what the researchers have in mind. Don't you see the game? The researchers actually know that there will be defintional differences, and then they pretend not to know. Lying is so common that most humans lie about lying.

By: rh001YT. on 26 Aug 11, 20:53:54
You're sure Indians are "wonderful" drivers? What a people-pleaser, cowardly choice of adjective. Why would you say that, hmmm? You don't understand value-judgement - is "good" defined as skillful, even acrobatic vehicular handling? Or low accident rate? Or high courtesy ranking? If you are a Westerner, you would be too terrified to drive in India. The "relevance" is value-judgement - how a word is defined, and how different people have different defintions for a word due? to value.

By: TheReactor8. on 20 Apr 12, 12:47:33
Cause and result are confused as always. Example: Do the rich live more healthy and are therefore more likely to be rich and live longer? Health undoubtly? is autocorrelated with wealth. Sustainable societies have to be winners in economic sense. Maximizing total wealth therefore should be the aim. A certain level of inequality is optimal. Social mobility is far more important.

By: auwtomoton. on 17 Apr 12, 04:51:19
I was disappointed that THEY'RE NOT SHOWN? TALKING WITH EACH OTHER IN THIS VIDEO (they each give a statement and do not respond). The critics say: "the spirit level folks used statistics to support their argument rather than to meaningfully explore these issues." The Spirit Level folks rebut: "no we didn't.", fin. I'd prefer if we could move beyond right vs. wrong to critically exploring the complexity of the issues at hand.

the recent papers ...
By: abrereton14. on 23 Jan 12, 14:58:12
the recent papers by Kawachi and Backland et al do not directly rebut Deaton's paper on inequality and mortality in the USA. they use different data and methods, and do not attempt to demonstrate any errors in the Deaton and Lubotsky's paper, so it is really quite lazy of Pickett? to imply they make previous research irrelevant. Also, the Kawachi paper actually finds that inequality affects the wealthier more, which is a rather perverse result and is not evidence for the psychosocial mechanism.

By: abrereton14. on 23 Jan 12, 14:52:27
most of this debate is silly. cross country regressions with one independent variable don't give you good robust results -- they are pretty much worthless. can't really believe pickett spends so much time defending their shit presentation or wants us to believe that regression analysis (in the? case of mobility and inequality) is meaningful with 5 data points.

By: kropotkinbeard1. on 11 Jan 12, 22:43:03
Uhh...Never even hinted at wanting to get rid of differences. I recommend learning? to read before trying to engage someone. It's VERY simple. There are various levels of development which people pass through during maturation. There are specific thinking processes which are typical for each of these levels. Those types of thinking which Rand promotes are more or less the same as the psychological maturity level of a 5-7 year old. I also recommend studying a little psychology.

By: kropotkinbeard1. on 11 Jan 12, 15:43:13
Huh? I respect people who are different than me. Nothing I said even hints that I don't. And, yes, claiming that people who Rand appeals to have stopped intellectual development at around 5-7 when the psychological development is that expressed in most of Rand's babbling isn't "retarded". That people's intellectual development has stopped? at this age of development is most definitely retarded though, literally. Has nothing to do with respecting anything. I feel sorry for these people.

If Egypt has more "equality" than the United States then "equality" is not necessarily what we want because by every measure our way of life is better than Egypt's. If you disagree try living there. Also, your chances of going from poor to rich are greater in America? depending on your ability and work ethic.

By: kropotkinbeard1. on 30 Dec 11, 08:45:49
It's always fascinating to see what lengths apologists for inequality will go to to try and make it seem that its the natural way, and that equality isn't when I'd surmise that most folks begin to understand that inequality is a deviation from what's more natural usually beginning around age 5-7. It's usually at about this level of intellectual development which folks like Ayn Rand, and? the poor right-libertarian lemmings who look up to her, stop in their development.

By: wynn2u. on 11 Dec 11, 02:08:03
The? Spirit Level is scientific; proves inequality, historically known to exist, still exists; is increasing. While the privilaged may think they are immune from the consequences and repercussions of inequality, inequality is universal in its impact on society, and The Spirit Level becomes the carrot of change before the donkey of privilage.

Niether of which are a form of negation. Also, equality in terms of society is quantifiable. You can measure the gap between the wealthiest and poorest citizens of a society. More equal means that there is a smaller gap between wealthiest and poorest citizens.

@voiceofreason467 Value is not something that 'should be applied', value is a reality, with HD&S giving? that reality. If value does not come from labor production--lol, which obviously it does not--then ET and CC--what you are promoting--make no logical sense. You are ignorantly and amateurishly confusing value with production, a beginner's mistake in the extreme. Goods produced get value the same way natural goods get value, that is the point (which apparently flew right over your head).

By: qwertypoiu4321. on 24 Jun 11, 01:48:05
Value comes from HD&S. If a baseball size pearl washes up in front of me and a pineapple falls down next to me, their value--and difference thereof--comes from HD&S, nothing else. As I said, a good's longevity quality value is a HD&S issue, how it is used is a subjective HD&S issue, and production waste is a production issue unrelated to value itself.? If 1% or 10% of society were coercive that is a morality issue and has no relevance to the outcome of value or the pearl-pineapple analogy above.

Money is not a measure of value; its only as valuable as the goods it can be exchanged for, nothing more. ?

So, when he says punishment doesn't work because the parents were late even? with the fine, he didn't consider the fact that maybe 1: the fine was too small (would they be late if we were talking about 200 dollars?) 2: what if the punishment was getting the kids kicked out of the daycare?
