I was told the way I write my stories reminded the friend of this guy, I’ve got no idea, even listening I’m not sure, but that’s cool I suppose?

Love this so much, but what is the app called that can turn audio to words like this. Really interested to know. Anybody help ? Thanks!

Do not ever let this expressionism die.

great

This is so fucking pretentious

We watched this in school today as a poetry march madness and it won by a *lot*

boomer poem

Ok *B O O M E R S*

this poem isn’t funny at all. thank you for making me horrible about the fact that i stumble over my words, and use fillers in my sentences to give me time to sort myself out. i am uncertain about what i day because every time i go to say something i know that if i’m wrong there’s no way the man in the room will let me get away with it without discrediting my entire education and intellect. so fuck this dude for making fun so many people for no reason other than his own amusement. for the other side of this story go watch “like totally whatever” by melissa lozada-olivia who says it better than i ever could

A intelligible poem for the unintelligible YA KNOW! LOVED IT!

This poem is freaking B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T! If I could give it a million "thumbs up", I would. Like the sages have said: You gotta stand for something, or you'll fall for anything.

This is great! Do you own the rights to this video? I would like to use it for a training. Please let me know

That's just, like, the way I talk mann,

When a man speaks, the CONVICTION of his heart is written upon the canvas of his words ! ‪#‎SpeakWithCONVICTION‬

great analysis, great poetics! love it!

Maybe the reasons teenagers use these devices is because we're told by society that we aren't allowed to know what we are talking about until we have a college degree and a few years under our belt. Maybe all this pressure is too much. Maybe I want to voice my opinion but am not willing to. Not because I am stupid, but because I know there is always someone, someone like Mr. Mali, getting ready to cut us down. We will speak up when you learn to give us room to be heard.

This is, like, brilliant. My head literally exploded, ya know? Seriously though, the coda I would add to Mr Mali's message is that the strength of your statement of opinion should be reinforced by the tempering process of being held up to serious and rigorous intellectual scrutiny. A fallacy asserted with conviction is still a crap statement.

FLVS yo

Fucking Brilliant!

Great. +Chris Culver What software did you use for this presentation? Is this Presi? Thanks

i laughed because its true ! but then i realized, im actually laughing at myself.

who has seen "why falling in love is like owning a dog

personally, I think this video is distracting. You lose the nuance and expression. Watch the actual video of Taylor speaking that this was lifted from.

Many can learn from this. People these days never like to speak up about certain predicaments that occur in today's times, they rather be complacent with what ever happens or that they receive.

This is one of the best collaborations I have ever been privileged to enjoy. Taylor Mali inspires imagination, and Ronnie Bruce applies that inspiration. I show this video in the beginning of the semester to every one of my classes.

This poem is like awesome ya know?

What program did you use to create this video?

hope u get better dude !!

we poem nao

why cant i like and fav this again

This is one of my absolute favorite poems.

It's not intellectual cowardice to say "I don't know," since there is nothing to ascribe to the cowardice. I would argue that it's actually more intellectually cowardly to say "I know" when you have no justification for believing those words, since you are scared to accept ignorance. What is the retarded "that"? I take offense to your unjustified and unnecessary denigrations.

That's retarded. Way to embrace intellectual cowardice.

That is not what the message of the poem is, it's ok to be wrong. It's just that no one says anything wit certainty, that they100% BELIEVE what they are saying ,, even if they are wrong, its speaking what YOU believe NOW.

Great use of typography, but I disagree with the message. Most often, those with the greatest conviction about a topic are those least educated about it.

I'm not certain about that. I already said this, so please read. Indeed, he is not saying to question, he is saying to not question. "You know?" and "right?" are questions. You can tell by the question marks. I'll rephrase so you might understand: He says we should not ask those questions at the end of our statements. I say it's actually smarter, albiet less practical, if we do. We can't meaningfully "declare things to be true" unless we know things. And we don't even know what "knowing" is.

So did you?

awesome...T.T

did you do it???

is there a version of this without the laughter coming from the audience? but anyway, this is very true, sadly. but I'll admit that I'm very guilty of having done this on more than one occasion. -_____-' never again! Lol...

This isn't about never questioning your own beliefs or re-examining them. This is speaking as if you're so open-minded, not one belief, fact, or conviction can stay in there. That rising question noise at the end of a declarative sentence is the equivalent of saying, "though everything I just said is negotiable depending on your reaction."

Are you certain about that? Anyway, he is not saying to question...he is saying that our society has become inarticulate that many people feel the need to end sentences with things like "you know?" or "right?", even when they are statements, not needing those questions at the end.

Sure, speaking with conviction has its benefits, but I don't see it a wrong choice to question ourselves. We can never be certain about anything.

this is amazing!

dude - where is the fucking proof video?!??!?)))

This is one of my FAVORITE poems!
