@@Dobetter.blessed excellent!

Misinformation and Disinformation occur across all industries, not just politics. I'm non-partisan. My videos are about helping people be better thinkers. But I appreciate the comment. 😉

Good point. It comes down to your agenda and how you want to frame the conversation. To some, it's gambling, and to those who want to soften the negative connotation, it would be gaming. That's why it's important to think critically; it sounds like you're there already. 😉 I appreciate your comment.

I appreciate the comment and thoughts. 😉

@@SarahArthur-hd7ju I’m glad you found it helpful. 😉

Thanks for the comment. 😉

You welcome. I had the same challenges in my youth, always seeking perfection. Nothing ever got off the ground for me back then. I like your saying, “pursue excellence, not perfection.” Words to live by. Thanks!

@@NostalgicNarrator that is a challenge; getting people to speak up and speak clearly. Maybe I’ll do a video on the importance of speaking clearly and loud enough. 😉 thanks for the comment.

@@srb4722 I don’t. If you try it out, let us know if it worked or not. 😉

@@AllenStafford 👍 Practice makes perfect. 😇

@@wild_cub_times that’s a good question. Thanks. When triggered in a conversation, I recommend acknowledging your feelings internally, but keep the focus on the other person speaking. To that, recognize and accept your triggered emotions, but shift your focus away from you to listening to the other person, you may have to repeat the key points being said in your mind to stay focused. Another good technique, one I often use is to take a deep breath, hold for a few seconds and slowly exhale, this helps with any stress or anxiety you may feel. Finally, sometimes it’s better to agree to disagree and excuse yourself from the conversation stating that it’s probably best to take a break and that you can come back for a discussion when both parties are calm and ready to discuss. But for the long term, I’d suggest mindful practice. It has helped mate deal with some intense encounters. All the best.

You’re too kind. Glad you enjoyed the video. 😉

Very true! Thanks for the contribution. 😉

Hello. Welcome to the channel.

You're welcome! 😉

Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching.

I’m not certain that pooping in public urinals is necessarily a problem. If you find it to be a problem, then there’s always hope. If you don’t find it a problem, but just funny, then carry-on. 😉

@@AllenStafford what if I get sexual gratification from it, knowing strangers are looking at my poop and one having to clean it gets me more excited then anything in the world

I’m not here to judge you. It’s probably not a generally accepted practice, but again, if that’s what you want to do for self-gratification. But there’s always a way to improve yourself, should you have the desire.

You're awesome for leaving a comment. Appreciate it and glad it worked out for you.

I’m glad. It helped you. Thanks for the comment.

I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for the comment and subscribing.

Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate your interest in seeing unique content. I agree, Incorporating on-stage examples is a great idea to bring a fresh perspective and enhance the learning experience. I do have plans to do that, so stay tuned. I appreciate you taking the time to leave me feedback. ;)

you must add more people in your podcast with different ideologies and opinions regarding your chosen topics which would definitely help the viewer to understand better of your content and would be able to understand different aspects of a single topic

you good amount of knowledge but are unable to express it freely as your are considering whether the viewers would be able to connect with you on facts and names ..so please add more debaters that can cross verify your facts making a lonely speech filled with vitality and exange of ideas

Thank you for your thoughtful comment and for sharing your perspective on the topics we discuss in the podcast. I appreciate your suggestion to explore diverse religious and philosophical viewpoints, such as those presented in the Bhagavad Gita. Indeed, understanding various traditions can enrich our conversations about free will and other deep subjects. I agree with you about the value of including voices from different ideological backgrounds to foster a more comprehensive and engaging dialogue. Moving forward, I'll aim to bring more guests with varied perspectives to challenge and expand our discussions. This approach should help us all gain a fuller understanding and make the content more dynamic and accessible. Thank you for your encouragement and feedback. It's crucial for improving the podcast and making sure it resonates well with a diverse audience. I look forward to exploring these ideas further and hope you'll find the upcoming episodes both informative and stimulating.

I appreciate the offer, but I do have a program that reduces the vidoes to shorts. However, I will keep you in mind for future projects a I grow the channel.

💨💨💨😊

I appreciate that!

Thanks. :)

Thank you. ;)

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the encouragement.

Basically your whole life can be leeched from you if someone has selfish intentions.

AI is the next step in evolution if done correctly. The based on people have to be emotionally intelligent and emotionally healthy. Otherwise they will completely fail. So that's another reason why intention is important because if someone knows it will fail they may still take advantage of others that don't understand that.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on emotional manipulative language in communication. I took some time to respond because I wanted to give your ideas some thought and give you my undivided attention. Your comment touches on several complex and significant issues, including the impact of isolation on susceptibility to manipulation, the comparison of human conditioning to animal training, and concerns about the future of AI technology and emotional intelligence. Indeed, when isolated, the notion that people are more vulnerable to manipulation through emotionally charged language or buzzwords is a poignant observation. Isolation can heighten an individual's longing for connection and recognition, making them more receptive to specific messages or commands, especially if those are linked with positive emotions or rewards. This dynamic is not unlike the conditioning processes seen in animal training, where actions are reinforced with rewards. However, applying this framework to human interactions raises ethical questions about autonomy, consent, and manipulating emotional states for specific outcomes. While stark, your comparison to training a dog underscores the potential for manipulation in human relationships and communication. It's a reminder that emotional intelligence-a deep understanding of and empathy for others' feelings-is a critical counterbalance to such manipulation. Emotional intelligence allows individuals to navigate complex social landscapes with awareness and care, potentially mitigating the risks associated with manipulative language. The intersection of AI and emotional manipulation introduces an additional layer of complexity. As AI systems become more sophisticated, particularly those designed to mimic human behaviors or emotions, the ethical considerations surrounding their use and the intentions of those who control them become increasingly significant. The transfer of human data to robots, as you mentioned, is a concept that is still largely theoretical but raises profound questions about identity, consciousness, and the value of human experience. The potential obsolescence of human roles in certain areas due to AI advancements is a concern that society must address with careful consideration of ethical, social, and economic impacts. You rightly point out the importance of understanding who has access to AI technology and their intentions. As we advance technologically, ensuring that these tools are used ethically and for the betterment of society becomes paramount. Emotional intelligence will indeed play a crucial role in navigating this future, not only in interpersonal relationships but also in understanding and interacting with AI. The conversation around emotional manipulation, AI, and the future of human interaction is complex and multifaceted. As we move forward, a balanced approach that values emotional intelligence, ethical considerations, and technological advancements will be essential. Thank you again for responding with your insightful comment and contributing to this important and hopefully ongoing discussion.

Thank you for your comment and for recognizing the value in these concepts! You make an excellent point about tailoring the wording to fit your natural communication style. It’s important that these phrases feel authentic to you when you use them. Adapting them to your unique voice and manner of speaking can make your communication more genuine and effective. Keep experimenting with different variations until you find what works best for you. It’s all about making these tools your own. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

I’m glad that you found the video useful. I appreciate the comment.

Absolutely, I'm glad you found the video helpful! You're not alone in feeling that way about conversations. I think a video on how to start and maintain engaging conversations naturally would be a great idea. It's an important skill that many of us can improve on. Thanks for the suggestion and your kind words about the content. Stay tuned for more!

Glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful!

Awesome! Thank you!

Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed comment. It’s always great to hear about the experiences of viewers, and the way you’ve related cognitive dissonance to everyday learning is insightful. It’s great that you’re applying critical thinking to all aspects of life, including something as seemingly simple as making a marinade! But, that’s still a great relatable analogy. Looking forward to sharing more content with you!

Hi There! Thank you for bringing up these excellent points! You're absolutely right; there are scenarios where 'I Understand Your Point' might not seem applicable or genuine, especially if you genuinely don't understand or agree with the other person's point, or if the argument is more about verbal sparring than seeking resolution. In cases where you don't understand their point, it's perfectly okay to ask for clarification. You might say, 'I'm not sure I fully understand your perspective. Could you explain a bit more?' This keeps the lines of communication open and shows that you're willing to engage thoughtfully. If the argument is more akin to a sport or involves verbal aggression, the dynamics are indeed different. Such arguments are often less about reaching a mutual understanding and more about expressing frustration or dominance. In these instances, it's crucial to set boundaries. You might need to calmly state that you're open to a respectful conversation but not to an argument for the sake of arguing. Remember, effective communication isn't just about the words we use but also about understanding the context and intent behind the conversation. It's about navigating these moments with respect, empathy, and sometimes, firm boundaries. I appreciate your input, as it highlights the complexity and diversity of human interactions. It's a reminder that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to communication, and adapting to the context is key. Thank you for watching and for your thought-provoking comment!

My pleasure!

Thank you so much, @jeremiahreilly9739, for your insightful feedback and for sharing your thoughts! I absolutely agree that not all conflicts are straightforward, and some situations, especially those involving intense personal attacks or deeply entrenched beliefs, can be particularly challenging. In cases of extreme provocation or when dealing with unfounded claims, like the flat earth example you mentioned, it's true that simple phrases alone may not suffice. These situations often require a combination of patience, empathy, and sometimes firm boundaries. It's also important to recognize when a discussion may not lead to an immediate resolution, especially in deeply polarized scenarios. In such cases, focusing on maintaining respect and seeking to understand rather than to convince can be more productive. Sometimes, agreeing to disagree while preserving the relationship is the most viable outcome. Your point about having conflicts with people you need to maintain a relationship with is particularly poignant. Here, clear communication, setting boundaries, and seeking mutual understanding becomes even more crucial. I'll certainly consider your feedback for future content, perhaps exploring more complex conflict scenarios and offering strategies for those tougher conversations. Thank you again for engaging with the video and contributing to this important discussion! ;)

Hi There @dottedrhino Thank you for your valuable feedback and for finding the video useful! I'm glad to hear that the content resonated with you. Regarding the animations, I appreciate your perspective. The intention behind using animations is to create an engaging and accessible way to illustrate these scenarios, aiming to appeal to a wide audience. However, I understand that different styles resonate differently with each viewer. I'm always exploring ways to enhance my content and make it more appealing to my audience. Your input is incredibly helpful for this process. I'll certainly keep your suggestion in mind for future videos. Maybe there's a middle ground where I can blend different types of visuals to strike the right balance. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts. It's feedback like yours that helps me grow and improve!

You're welcome🙂@@AllenStafford
