    I’ve always respected Michael so much for his active listening techniques. This was something that took a lot for me to learn to do as a child because of undiagnosed ASD but he never interrupts anyone, and always lets them finish their thoughts before jumping in. It’s so inspiring to watch someone with so much pride and enthusiasm - power - in the room, who doesn’t interrupt others continuously.

      Usually, red should be a more calming color, if you're exposed to it in a non-threatening way. For instance, red light. Lowest visible light on the color spectrum before infrared. Red light therapy is a real thing, that fights inflammation, helps regulate body processes, helps with sleep, etc.
      Blue = probably more calming because we think of air, water, breathing, and "Blues" music, which would more likely mellow someone out, than amp them up.
      It shouldn't come to us as any shock that we're easily tricked.

      Perhaps. It depends on the morality of the converser, since morality and ethical alignment are entirely subjective and arbitrary to existence and it's significance. You could say that, no matter what, all dogs are good dogs, as long as you care about literally nothing else when it comes to situations normal humans would see as dire extremes. And if that were the case, I could assume that the goal of your existence is exclusively to ensure dogs never go extinct. Which they will, but that doesn't matter: the longest time is good enough.

My 3 year old son has had to go through so much since he was born, & the feeling of seeing your child happier & able to live the life they want is so powerful.

      You don't have the slightest clue what is going on in other people's lives. I myself am not an addict anymore but I used to be one a few years ago due to some major hardships in life and you of all people should know that we didn't choose for it to be this way. It takes a lot of self control to get over drug addiction and some people may or may not have the strength to overcome it. My life has improved significantly due to another person lending out their hand and making appreciate the positive aspects of life rather than the negative ones. We all are different individuals with different beliefs, experiences, strength, weakness, etc. at the end of the day, even I dislike a situation where a person suffering with addiction just give up on any hope of overcoming it. But instead of making light of someone going through a difficult situation we could help them get better and it is the least thing we could do. Have a nice day :)

You can get over an addiction, with a metric fuckton of effort, you CAN choose to not be an addict anymore, it's just hard as hell.

    I rlly dunno if anyone has made an explanation on the "how chinese ppl associate with red" topic but in short there was a legend about a certain monster called "年" (which, I guess you can translate it directly into "year") that basically hunts people especially small children during New Year. People find out that it is scared of the color red, so they just put red things everywhere like the lantern, envelopes nd firecrackers stuff like that (it's also afraid of loud noises)
    and that protected people from the monster by scaring it away, since then the color red is associated with luck and joy and almost some sort of safety in chinese culture (especially to the older generation who directly absorbed this very big part of our cultural tradition)

    I think one of the reasons red is so salient and attention grabbing also has to do with our physiology. We only have RGB cones in our eyes, but blue is so predominantly the sky, and green predominantly related to grass/foliage, which leaves red as the only remaining ‘pure’ color to use that is not overly stimulated in our environment.

    I remember being the subject of the oldest trick in the book
    I was 9 years old or so, my late father came home early and i was watching tv instead of studying, so i did the usual, play asleep.
    He came into the room, i can hear him looking at me, yes, i can hear his looks, i was scared shitless, but he was the kinda man that would make you laugh and fill you with love, but at the same time fill you with fear if you do something wrong.
    So he was looking at me and spoke to my brother, saying "he is not asleep, he keeps his mouth open when he sleeps", and you guessed it, i slowly opened my mouth thinking that they wont notice somehow if i do it slowly enough, but instead i hear him burst with laughter.
    A good memory.
    May Allah have mercy on his soul.

    The non-verbal autistic part was a bit rough. Just because they're not speaking doesn't mean they don't know anything, or that they don't understand speech. A placebo isn't contingent upon the organism being a "normal" human, or even human at all.

    The sleight of hand involved is loading/unloading the pencil lead (uncomplicated when the only person you need to fool doesn't know they're involved in a magic routine), and making sure you keep your hand moving instead of statically holding the clipboard in the same place the number was written.

    So happy to see Caitlin! One of my favorite YTers - and my favorite death specialist! And no, I don't want to live hundreds of years. Had I considered this not 2 years ago, my answer might have been very, very different.
    But so much has been taken from me, cruelly and heartlessly, and by the person I trusted the most in the entire universe, that I can't bear the thought of feeling this pain for another several hundred years. I've been stuck in it for 22 months (and 18 days, but who's counting?), already, and it still hurts too much to bear, and yet I must bear it, because others count on me. Were it just my choice, I wouldn't even still be here, hurting. The pain is too deep, too much.
    Why would I want to extend that, rather than another 2 decades, but several more centuries? Absolutely no!

    Placebos are amazing, the only time I know of experiencing one was a year or so ago. I had recently started playing trumpet, and lost one of mouthpieces. My dad found says mouthpiece after a few months, and I thought it was smaller than my current one (smaller mouthpieces make higher notes easier.) I had been having trouble with high notes for a while, but as soon as I used that mouthpiece, I was able to play multiple notes higher. It wasn't until a month or two later that I finally realized the mouthpiece was exactly the same size as my other one, and I had placeboed myself.

      Yeah this is totally a thing. Most people refer to is as psyching yourself out (if it is a negative) or being "in the zone" when it is a positive. It isnt that hard to relate to and then apply it to medical issues, etc. As much as I hate pseudo sciencey things, I also personally know many people that have been legitimately helped by them because of placebo, so it is hard for to criticize things like that.

    • @pedrocampanholi
      @pedrocampanholi Před 2 lety +3

      In this case I don't know if really is a placebo effect. I used to play the french horn and something similar happened to me. The mouth piece that I lost were larger than the new one and it should be easier to reach high notes. But when I found my old one, it was easier. There where two important factors: the old one was better fabricated, was a Paxman, and my muscles were more used to it. Maybe if I trained more with the new one maybe this wouldn't be the case anymore.

      Crazy thing about actualizing placebos sometimes is that you can just call that a coincidence and was because certain timing in your life for all different reasons. Like you could have just lost a touch and got better at playing the high notes again after positive alignments in ur life

      @Thomas Johnson I bet the decision was made by someone on the esports team. Michael probably asked a producer for a suggestion and the producer probably asked some moron on the esports team who has spent the last 6 years of their life playing league every single day and had only spent like 5 hours on video games other than league. To that esports player, league is probably the best test of skill they can think of. They probably didn't think anything about exploring a space.
