Hey

I often just assume the stuff I'm into most other people are too, but that's not always the case. So tonight I felt like sharing.

There are many hidden gems all over the internet, I will talk about one of those gems, for those who's already indulged, appreciated this particular gem, do not fret. I put up the best of the best, and this shit you can re-watch indefinitely.

To make it cooler and more relaxing, I put up a description to each clip, what it's about, details and some other stuff like that.


Drive

The Truth about what really motivates us, most people think (and rightly so). The more money, the more motivation. Nuu UHHH!! Not the case, only if the task involves mechanical skills (Platinum/Gold and lower maybe).

Once you get above rudimentary cognitive skill, everything turns upside down. And I know a lot of passionate Starcraft gamers can attest to that, AMEN. (Ps, I'm not religious, hate that noob shit).

Changing The Paradigms Of Education

This one is a lot more awesome than what it might sound like by the tittle. It's one of the most wonderful speeches I've ever heard about learning, growth and people's potential and more awesome stuff along those lines.

The speaker is Ken Robinson, which probably a lot of you already heard or know about from TEDTalks, but in this speech you get the essence in much more detail, and it's not added stuff to make it more entertaining as "a show". (Sex for your left hemisphere so to speak). <--- I just made that one up on the fly, yay

The Secret Power Of Time

Talks about the 6 main time zones that people live in, 2 focus on the past, 2 focus on the present and 2 focus on the future. It also seems like, if you live around the equator, people are mostly focused on Present.

In in these categories, we have people who mainly focus on the positive (the good old times, nostalgia, so forth). And the other kind seem to focus a lot on regrets, failures and shit like that. Past positives and past negatives. And the same for the other categories.

Empathic Civilisation
It doesn't get much more awesome than this. It seems like all the primates, especially the humans, we got mirror neurons. We're soft wired, so if I am observing you, I can feel the same as you're doing, the neurons in my head is lighting up at the same place as your neurons.

We are actually not soft wired for aggression, violence, self-interest, utilitarianism and shit like that which some poop heads have been feeding us.

The Divided Brain

This is my favorite, I feel that most of what's being said is awesome. But I don't get half of it, if there's going to be any discussion about these, please talk about this one. I'd love to broaden my understanding of this.

New, fresh, cool information of the brain, discrediting a lot of what we "used" to think and know about it. Things that now has been proved is entirely false.

It's not true that one part of the brain does reason, and the other does emotion. Both are profoundly involved in both. Not true that language resides only in the left hemisphere, it doesn't, a lot of important aspects are in the right. It's not true that visual imagery is only in the right hemisphere, lots is in the left.

21st Century Enlightenment

We're very very bad at predicting what will make us happy. We're even worse at describing what made us happy in the past. And stuff like "It's only by understanding that conscious thought is only part of what drives our behavior..... That we become better able to exercise control & distinguish our needs from our appetites..... And our amazing human potential from the hubris of individualism.

It's no wonder I find this one awesome as well.

I would not call that new information or fresh (about the brain, I read neuropsychology like 7-8 years ago and even then they had made significant progress in the field), and I would say that the link he makes from the divided brain to how we live today is better made from a sociological point of view...

Start at the Enlightment and go from there.

Still interesting and thanks for the links.

Lol, exuberant way of talking.

"Nuuu-UHHH"
"<--- I just made that one up on the fly, yay"
"(Ps, I'm not religious, hate that noob shit)"

You didn't used to talk like this, how did you get so funny at talking?

Thank you Silver <3

I've always talked like this, but after I had an accident and went into depression I "lost" it, for a year or so, so when I started being more proactive it surely but slowly came back more and more.

To my friends, in games, and to some extent irl I've "always" talked like this. I also think when writing here I wanted to be taken a little more serious. I've usually always been refered to as "class clown", or lolmarius, or something along those lines. Maybe "over doing it", but I feel much more at ease, if I don't "force" or pretend, and just let it flow naturally.
