kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5quo2CfZZdlo7s Excess money forces investment in technology and creates forced unemployment. People can't achieve the technological knowledge demanded by the market because that changes very fast. The Progressive Growth of the Money Supply Principle (year 2013) will stop this madness, because the Principle tells us the exact quantity of new money the economy needs to works correctly, driving us to the Wicksell interest rate or natural interest.

well now it all adds up bc im bipolar 😭😭😭

[@Dman9fp]

@@swimmerzo There's lots of flavors of bipolar. Not sure how much he went into it-- but yeah-- There are whole systems of the mind controlling us outside our active consciousness. Some say it is like another person. This is what ad companies target to win us over. Our feelings/ intuition/ subconcious, or whatever you wanna call it. Of course yes, when we observe it, the irrational parts can be brought to light and corrected/ prevented. Of course stress/ very stressful situations muddle things up/ if we are or become sensitive enough, things can go out of our control (the higher order thinking parts of the brain shut off and subconscious literally takes over when we are stressed enough; the brain is a funny thing, but makes sense evolutionarily when being attacked at least, for sure. Anxiety is a killer too tho, and the demons can be imaginary yet all too real in the mind. Gratitude and working on resilience/ prevention can go a long ways)

Méditation is just based on that, when you pay attention to your breath and avoid being distracted by your thoughts you can calm your mind. Our thoughts change the way that we feel, which subsequently changes the way that we act. It's called the cognitive triangle and it's the foundation of CBT therapy.

"The exercise is not keeping your mind focused (...) it's: when it wanders, bring it back". The most spot on, clearest, simplest, most brilliant approach to defining meditation I've ever seen. This right here is the moment I've finally got it. Thank you.

This is practiced for the first 3 days in a 10 day Vipassana meditation course. 4th day onwards actual Vipassana practice starts. But these 3 days bring very good focus and sharpness.

[@elfullin]

This is only one layer of meditation. Some schools don’t consider using mental force or energy to bring back focus as meditation. Instead, letting the mind wander BUT being the watcher of the mind, is of a higher and deeper level of consciousness. To bring back the mind from wondering required you to entangle yourself with it. Subverting your awareness for thought.

[@jigneshpadia]

1. Performance peaks at 110% of attention or mindfulness. 2. Focus can help with mastery. 3. Mind wandering can be good when looking for a creative solutions. 4. Poor attention results in distraction which in turn results in stress. 5. There are three types of Empathy. Empathetic concerns, cognitive and emotional. 6. Paying attention is a rare commodity these days. 7. It can be improved through practice. Its like a muscle. 8. Use breathing buddy for kids to help with mindfulness practice 9. Practicing breathing can help gaining more attention and mindfulness. Focus on breath. 10. Manage emotions - Red, Yellow, Green.

I happened onto this video while I was driving during a particularly frazzled period. I was driving to distract myself so I drove for a couple of hours which allowed me to listen to the entire lecture. When the video arrived at the part about how breathing exercise shifts the brains activity from right to left, I began to focus on my breath for the next 30 minutes. By the time my drive ended, my frazzled state dissipated. I left so relieved. Thank you Mr Goleman!

I love how Daniel Goleman shut that dude down towards the end, as he came with an already made inductive argument of an entire group of people and children being all violent , and all tainted due to their genetic makeup. He reaffirms that the behaviors are largely situational, not genetic. That same dangerously small minded rhetoric was the basis of writings like the "Willy Lynch Letters".

[@UnknownAbraham]

He used the strategy he mentioned in the lecture when he was talking about boys playing soccer. One of the kids was "insulted" by the other one but this smart kid who had high emotional iq turned the insult into to a compliment... Basically Daniel complimented and even agreed with the person asking the question but gave totally different kind of answer that the person was hoping or waiting for. In other words Daniel did not take the bait and turned the tables...

[@DasypusN]

How is it that this man takes so many of the topics I find the most interesting in the world today and has united them in the first 37 minutes of this lecture???

Thank you Google and the architects of the internet, Daniel Goleman, and all the humans who have contributed to the ideas he talks about in this lecture. Most importantly I am so glad there are so many of you out there- currently 1,741,574 of you- who take the time to pay attention!

That was the best and most polished and polite response to a question that was posed out of preexisting anger and ideology that was not actually intended to improving understanding but reaffirming the questioner’s existing views.

[@johnsamuel2401]

Great observation.

[@patrickgrengs8552]

What you choose to interpret as preexisting anger is the expression of a very well-researched field. The science on race, in terms of morphology, physiology, biochemistry, intelligence, delayed gratification, disease resistance, behavior, performance and culture make it vitally clear that there exist vast differences between the races. Race is real. Race exists. As such, there are individuals who look upon race as Race Realists. Do you have a tough time differentiating between a Pygmy and a Western European? That bell curve very simply and beautifully illustrates why Africa and Haiti are brazenly high-fertility, corruption-plagued hell-holes and why Ashkenazi Jews have earned a vastly disproportionate number of Nobel prizes. As the member of the audience pointed out in the question, reporting on these differences often gathers the wrath of the indignant who would rather ignore the painfully obvious and anoint the 'underprivileged' as victims. To wit: It is scarcely the same thing to put a man on the moon as to put a bone in your nose.

I have adhd. I would love for our brains to be studied. Many of us are highly intelligent and have an incredibly fast ability to comprehend and learn because our focus could not be on that object for long. We have no internal motivation or reward system, have a poor executive function system, and yet creatively find ways to make it through life surrounded by neurotypical people. The world isn't built around our brains and it's needs, so our existence alone requires incredible feat and perseverance. You discussed how distracting our world has become, however it's only a fraction of what our world has always been, including when our brains were being developed and habits were being learned, plus we endured huge social stigma by people who don't understand the condition.

Addiction is far more complicated but it's true some people are more likely to become addict-types from an early age. Addition is often a way of handling stress a feedback loop system where a person drinks, smokes or uses drugs to control and manage negative feelings, a coping mechanism that becomes integral to that persons sense of well-being. Also a form of escapism for many to avoid dealing with those internalised feelings. And even a form of self-sabotage avoidance to avoid doing things, facing fears, rejection or failure.

I really appreciate this talk and respect the speaker. Having said that, I also have that feeling of 'how some Western disciplines, psychologists, therapists, etc have taken deep and ancient knowledge of Eastern cultures (Buddhism, Hinduism... ), reshaped it and then sold it as something new and innovative. ' On the other hand, I also think that this may contribute to expand this valuable knowledge and make it more accessible to a larger number of people.

And ancient Greek philosophy too, like stoicism. Particularly when he mentioned the study of positive psichology and the studies of Martin Seligman... Teaching kids to focus on what they can do is the same as saying focus on what you can control, which is essential in stoic phylosophy...

[@pravinmudvari3832]

Exactly! I am struggling to cope with all this developments of social media and thinking how it has influenced and impacted every age group and population all around the world. This sickens me! …I deleted almost all my social media because I could focus on nothing! My attention span got wrecked but now slowly and steadily I am recovering! I am able to focus more . I can feel that ! Social media really cursed our generation. People make money by selling our attention and yet we don’t know the attention that we are putting in comes at the costs of our mental and physical well being!

[@ashishdn7249]

The "Breathing Exercise" is One of Many techniques of Meditation which was invented in India 2500 years ago in the era of Lord Buddha. Those techniques are very valuable and effective that Lord Buddha tried and succeeded to spread it all over the world to make this world a "Better Place". Because we all live in it. To learn more about these techniques, follow Vipassana meditation by Goenka Guruji.🌼 Thank you sir Daniel for this precious joyride to understand attention. It's the most valuable commodity anyone can teach us today. 🙏🙏🙏

This was tremendously helpful and informative to me, thank you very much. I used to be very focused and on track, but thanks to a career change of sorts in the last couple of years (now teaching elementary school) my mind is often scattered and I feel terribly unfocused. I am working on leaving this kind of work and getting back in touch with myself and my true passions and strengths. Thanks.

I like listening to lectures or speeches while doing tedious jobs. I don't know if it is good for my brain to multi-task, but it just keeps me going to do boring work, like homework, household chores and sometimes at work too. It's kinda ironic that I'm listening to this video about attention while at the same time doing my math homework 😅.

So you think all cultures are equal then? And genetics have no explanatory value in regards to these topics, even though Daniel refered inherited traits as a factor in personality several times during the lecture and QnA?

Thank you Mr Goleman for the time and effort that you put into this lecture. The lecture itself is an exercise in keeping focused. I know that what you were talking about was interesting and useful and although my mind would wander on occasions I brought myself back to you and what you were saying. Building brain muscle is a choice we all can make as long as we're alive. Thanks to you,for making me aware of this, it will be my go to.
