Is the glass half full or half empty? The final proof! Leo Bormans at TEDxGhent

[@Nativgod]

We don't see people the way they are, we see people the way we are. Profound and true.

He blew up my mind. What a talk. Loved it.

[@fenntea7550]

It doesn't matter if you see the glass as half full or half empty. Because its always full. 1/2 liquid and 1/2 air.

[@jondularswoods6461]

1/2 empty x 2 = empty.........................1/2 full x 2 = full

[@physicalreserves5123]

It does matter because everything we do has meaning, it's just looked at wrong. If you have a half a glass of water , the glass is not half full or half empty. Simply you have a glass that is twice as big as it needs to be.

[@Bima_Lack]

if you're putting something into the glass you're filling it. so is half full if you're taking something out of the glass, you're emptying it. So it half empty Water was poured into the glass, so at that moment, it's half full.... but when someone decides to pour the water out, it will already be half empty

[@alain-beast1214]

Wow you are Einstein’s ancestor you blew my mind 😮

[@beccahansen2]

Yes finally someone I can relate with. I told my teacher this and she looked at me like I was crazy.

[@MoneyyMike]

Becca Hansen look at my channel

[@sarssars-hm2ox]

@@beccahansen2 you are crazy. This is why Your not asking your self if it's empty or full your telling someone or your self if it's full or empty. Do you want more knowledge or are satisfied with what you have. Everything I do I want more not cause I need it cause want it. It has nothing to do with happy people or sad people well that's how I see it 😑

[@beccahansen2]

@@sarssars-hm2ox I just say how it is

[@kiwiopklompen]

love this guy - love his enthusiasm!

[@enddigital2377]

When I put on my prospective, you could see it in both ways but the right way is to only see it as half full. let me explain why I said that, if you are the guy who complains and don't appreciate what you have or the guy who have everything and also ambitious. then you are the guy who see it as half empty. But if you understand you will never truly be happy than your the guy who see it as half full and appreciate what you have. see it this way, the air always be on top of you and the water will be under you, that is the reality but remember to appreciate what you have under you and never forget you will never grave the air.

[@vinnyboombots8270]

How did the glass start? Was it empty or was it full? The answer is in the question...

[@sarssars-hm2ox]

It's empty and I want more. If it's full then I don't want anymore I don't eat if I'm full I only eat if my stomach is empty. It's the same with the brain never stop taking in

[@hypercrazy-ix8wp]

I personally feel its half full. BUT I WOULDNT describe myself as an optimist. Anyways my logic to this is a simple-ish explanation. I think it's half full as if you think about gravity and science and all the wonders water doesn't float.. and if it doesn't float then how can you describe it as half empty. If you were to not fill it at all sure air is an element but you wouldn't see anything! And what you can't see wouldn't count. As you can see water I think it's half full. Also as you were to fill a whole glass of water you could see it and its actually like a human thing to do. Nobody looks at an empty glass of water not even any liquid as its not even an empty glass of liquid it's just a glass. Empty can be anything really. Lovely video keep it up! Im a secret nerd (:

[@MarkusDarkess]

Like it. But what you cannot see does matter. Or people wouldn't die of disease , air born pathogens. If it was a vacuum chamber or space would totally agree. But pouring honey in a cup half way. Under water the cup is full. Because the focus is on the cup. Now if the question changes is the cup half filled with honey/water or half empty of honey/water. The focus was never on the contents it was ways on the container.

[@labyrinthofknowledge3.142]

After all the times I've ever heard someone use this analogy of the glass is half full or empty. I've never heard anyone ask the question. who stole the other half of my drink and how do I refill my glass

[@VidimusWolf]

What a wonderful talk. Wow!

[@TheaDragonSpirit]

It's neither half full or half empty. It's just right.

[@NoirpoolSea]

The glass is _all_ empty. Solid matter is mostly empty space. Even the glass "itself" is empty space. Your very self is also an illusion. Be the change you want to be.

[@JamsFilmsYT]

If you're filling the glass up with water and stop half way, it's half full, if you drink out of it or spill some water out of it, it would be half empty.

People arguing.. but the focus is never on the water wether the water is filled in or poured out. The focus is on the cup. Is the cup half full with water. The focus is on the water. But the cup is full.

[@KingStix]

Paint the red buttons green, problem solved. :P

[@sibulelemene5653]

Depends, if it was poured full and put to half then its half empty, if it was poured to reach half then its half full

[@chinojarjos]

How do optimist stay optimistic?

[@delohd1]

The glass is twice the size it needs to be !

This was amazing….

[@c.d.outdoors6507]

Filling it half way is half full empty it half way it’s half empty

Is a mermaid half-human or half-fish? Kind of a loaded question when you put it that way

[@randommemesweekly4417]

fools, if you drink the water it's half empty, and if you fill the cup it's half full checkmate

[@physicalreserves5123]

The glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

[@MsSquarer]

I think too much....my glass is half full of optimism that I could cannot seem to achievethe full glass because of the half empty which is squashing me down. Can you guess who half empty is? 😭

[@TheDempsFamily]

all he had to do was say if its half full or half empty

[@rahatrahman7403]

The glass is always full

[@Jarrod_kane]

A slightly different way I like to look at the glass half empty or full is what or how you are going to use the glass or water. You have to say I have half a glass then from there decide how best to use what you have and for what purpose. If you are only thirsty enough for 1 quarter of the glass then it is more full then you need :P Lol I don't now, I'm just having a little fun above

[@4inaftermath454]

water expands when you freeze it, bump the glass up 3/4 way by dropping the temp

[@Runkified]

The cup is twice as big then it needs to be. :D

[@lefin.9758]

It's both, it's half full and half empty.

[@samiamostafa2993]

Lel it's actually full logically since both have an element in them water and air XD

[@normanvanrooy3113]

It all depends on how thirsty you are.

[@GUMMRUCHK]

Here's a quick thought it doesn't fucking matter whether it's half full or empty and the whole debt just proves that human stupidity is truly infinite

[@killjoykj8343]

GUMMRUCHK like you

[@LuzingHDv]

Such a stupid question!! this doesn't prove anything.All this question answers is whether or not your done filling the glass with water or done taking the water out of the glass.

[@openheartedwarrior2971]

the cup is half full and half empty at the same time.

[@beanjams4071]

Lays: the glass is full

[@stever197037]

What a messed up question and how psychology analyzed it. Both people are the same. Both want more. Did you quench your thirst or what ever you relate the glass and its contents to? Can it be refilled? Society is always divided into 2 parts engineering them to be different and fight. Why? Divide and control. Ah well, that’s usually phrased differently. But hard to control a majority. Government’s role. No accountability to a division, no need for change. Keep up the sheeplike fight everybody. It’s working quite well for your masters.

[@nico123sew]

If you put two half glasses together its full so it is half full

[@conviction_amp]

Wether the glass is half full or half empty depends solely on wether it was being filled or drank lol

[@billyboy17ify]

The glass is half empty if you drink from it and its half full if your pouring it 🤪 But really its your choice if it's half empty or full 🥛💯
