LaLa Posted September 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 The end is too optimistic (unrealistic), but most of the video could be good to see to some people with too low self-esteem and/or with too much admiration for / idealisation of others.

LaLa Posted October 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Interesting at least for some Americans: http://www.ted.com/talks/j_d_vance_america_s_forgotten_working_class Quote J.D. Vance grew up in a small, poor city in the Rust Belt of southern Ohio, where he had a front-row seat to many of the social ills plaguing America: a heroin epidemic, failing schools, families torn apart by divorce and sometimes violence. In a searching talk that will echo throughout the country's working-class towns, the author details what the loss of the American Dream feels like and raises an important question that everyone from community leaders to policy makers needs to ask: How can we help kids from America's forgotten places break free from hopelessness and live better lives?

LaLa Posted December 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 AGAINST EMPATHY http://meaningoflife.tv/videos/37456 Don't look at it with prejudices based on the title!!! Quote Robert Wright (Bloggingheads.tv, The Evolution of God, Nonzero) and Paul Bloom (Yale University, Against Empathy, Just Babies) Paul’s brand new book, Against Empathy The damage empathy can do The difference between empathy and compassion Why our moral intuitions aren’t so moral Are low empathy people more likely to hurt others?

LaLa Posted July 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 This video doesn't fit the title here (but I don't want to prolong the title every time I find a new source of great videos ), but it doesn't matter. It's a really great talk (38 min.) + a discussion. I recommend it to everybody, there are so many topics that it would be impossible to tell "what you should be interested in when you decide to listen to it". And it begins with a hilarious humour!
