More Than 7: Jaylen Brown speaks at Berkeley on Panopticism

[@KSizbored4life]

JB you're prob not gonna read this but this is why you're my favorite hooper. JB the bball player, educator, public speaker, community leader, social justice advocate, and fashion designer. The Celtics are blessed to have such a multi-faceted individual leading the team

[@lllandvogt5912]

The nba is blessed

[@garyvogel8070]

This! 💯

[@chefnaj78]

We love you in Boston! Go Celtics! Go Jaylen!

[@shaduwy]

You forget he speaks fluent Arabic and is also a Muslim

[@BANANASAUCEYUM]

​@shaduwy oh so he's actually stupid. Damn.

[@tedguanzon3499]

As a Poli sci major who is a huge celtics fan, this just made me adore him more.

[@sshafikh1]

he's soooo intelligent. I'm not surprised though. He went to Berkeley. Every year this university produces 1-2 Nobel laureates.

[@Jtvs017]

Over the last few weeks I've been reading 'Go Up For Glory" by Bill Russell. Although I grew up across the Atlantic Ocean and did not experience this up close, I can see where you draw inspiration from him as a human being. And I think that we can all learn something from Bill Russell's pride, principles and views on life. Great presentation, Jaylen! Love to see you embrace these topics in society!

[@sconartist]

Ironically 2 years later, you’re only further proving your point. The funny thing about the term “free-thinkers” is that it doesn’t benefit those in their present moments in time, only after time has passed for history to recognize their greatness. Keep doing you JB, you’re appreciated in Boston🍀

[@c.p379]

He’s literally so smart - it’s hard not to love him. VERY smart!

[@pfneuman]

What a pleasant surprise to hear this! Had no idea JB is super deep and so eloquent. Thank you for posting this, I learned a lot from your brief talk.

[@RandomAfrican-qh6vk]

amazing really

[@craigalaneleazer4473]

He turned down NASA ... He is brilliant.

[@terrasai2857]

He loves to read as well.

this is most superfluous empty nothing burger ive ever heard in 27 years on earth. im envious, cause even I couldn't cook up a nothing burger this crispy and this well done.

[@ssebastian30]

This was deep af. Thanks for sharing JB☘️

[@luke-yy5bc]

I came here for a laugh but this is shocking how ignorant this clown is and you ppl are too ( Celtic fans)

[@jimmoore8951]

In a world of dynamic normality JB now has a platform to share his intelligent thoughts and opinions, breaking the hegemony of a society that goes back to the original Americans. Berkeley is a home of radicals and JB is a radically different hooper... and he's pretty good at that too 🏀

[@luke-yy5bc]

you ppl drink straight from the tap

[@AnthonyLeNguyen]

Thank you for sharing your speech. I really learned a lot. So glad to have a person like you on my Celtics. Great person, great basketball player.

Congrats on the 18th Championship with the Celtics! Well done! Didnt know you had a channel and were so thoughtul. All the best to you!

[@marlo-ss4vd]

I respect you man. Good stuff Jaylen Brown for speaking up at Berkeley about Panopticism. It is something I face currently in my daily life in the Philippines as a Filipino-American where certain aspects of me unknown to people become a facet for discrimination and derogatory overuse. Over time I developed a hate and contention towards these sentiments by people, including people closest to me, continuously fighting for something they know isn't sane or active to do but continually push back to remain in power. It is abusive. I don't deserve this and so don't they, and they are the social constructs confounding, confining us.

[@lukenelson1931]

Could you elaborate a bit? What aspects of you become a facet for discrimination? What do you mean when you say “overuse”?

[@okwaleedpoetry]

public speaking is difficult but you make it look easy, good luck in the finals. great subject.

[@lightdarklightdarklightdark]

yo mazulla and jb have made me a celtics fan the world is really changing

[@luke-yy5bc]

too much tap water ehh

[@NotAndy28]

Jaylen I needed an essay topic due this week about ethical issues in social work and I was listening to this when playing 2K before writing that paper. Heard that story about you getting pulled over at the start and I'm going to write my essay on this, thanks man

[@sonja4164]

Nice! How did it turn out?

[@rjbullock]

Awesome talk! What a great message!

[@tgqinc]

Amazing the see athletes create their own platforms to vocalize changes within their communities! We love to see it!

[@altonweaver7757]

This is why he’s my favorite person. Articulate, poised, intelligent and talented athlete.

[@luqmanmohamed3834]

[@h222]

We need a podcast I could listen to his ideas for hours

[@akshatmisra767]

watching after he won fmvp he deserves it all man

[@MyKingdomforAdRevenue]

This was an extremely insightful and informative speech on panopticism and methods of social control. I actually believe the scope of it goes even further and these concepts of surveillance and influenced conformity have multiple channels they develop through. One of the primary intents of mass media and pop entertainment is the homogenization of personality and interest. As the internet continues to develop though we are beginning to see a decentralization of media and greater agency given to individual creators. However there is also a pushback to this as well, and that mainstream homogenization continues to pervade, adapting to use social media to influence and encourage altered social norms. The notion of individuality is under a sort of constant quiet assault, attempting to wear it down bit by bit until the path of least resistance becomes preferable simply because all the alternatives have been so discouraged and inconvenienced. However, uh, you might wanna check your facts on that part about hydrogen bro, almost NONE of what you said in that part was correct JB my guy I was fuckin dying listening to it man, everything else was great but you're gonna want to workshop that one a little 🤣

[@Domo8186]

This was 🔥

[@marc-andreravioli1379]

Dang obviously I knew jaylen is well spoken, but what an interesting and deep guy. Definitely am going to have to be a subscriber

[@thefreshserve]

This is a great video and I love to see people of all backgrounds embracing philosophy, but I feel this is missing a (pretty clear) class and economic lens - one major reason athletes are 'trained' to be silent is because one of the key functions of professional sports (especially in the US), in their current orientation, is to launder the reputation of billionaires and corporations (sponsors), while serving as a distraction for working class individuals (if you're spending >50% of your leisure time consuming sports and advertising, it's much less likely that you will take the proactive steps to become educated and/or conscious of a range of social and economic issues). That is why the owners decided Kaepernick had to go - the ruling class need sport to be entirely free of meaningful political ideas and actions, otherwise it risks not serving its purpose (from the perspective of the powerful).

[@jaynesimon4914]

YES, THIS YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL LIL BROTHER IS HELPING TO BREAK THAT "TRAINED CYCLE" FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF OUR OUTSPOKEN ANCESTORS: MUHAMMAD ALI, MALCOLM X, MLK, PAUL ROBESON, W.E.B. DUBOIS, ETC.

[@beckyhelm8058]

I agree. And I admire Jaylen for daring to openly discuss that allowing any subset of people to obtain too much power through resource hoarding will lead to others being subjected to a will other than their own. People get killed for speaking this shit - takes a lot of guts to do so.

[@LooksGoodTooMe]

Damn 😮😮😮

[@stpepe1]

A most useful if a bit loose of a take, comrade. One should not shy away from using proper Marxist-Leninist rhetoric when engaging with the masses even in the plainest and clearest manner possible!

[@prodigy513]

Timed that entrance perfectly through the closing subway door

[@stevitos]

Really interesting talk had no idea JB would be teaching me about panopticism. Unfortunately that stuff about hydrogen was dead wrong but doesnt take much away from a really interesting message

[@Nipiniponipi]

Truly enjoyed the knowledge

[@babysean4532]

I'm not a Celtic fan.but this kid is so inspiring. Hope u became a champion jalen!

[@sonja4164]

He's 1 win away

[@Heightofacloud]

Great talk, but slight correction. Bentham proposed the panopticon, not Foucault.

[@lilbodgy]

U amaze us everyday jb

[@tommyvaughn2858]

100% deserved to represent the United States in Paris, hope that he will get a chance in the LA 2028 games. This talk is now even more relevant to his career.

[@camillecruzfit]

Marshawn Lynch is less eloquent but has walked this talk as a CAL alum coming back and continually supporting his community …kept up a 3.5 GPA at Berkeley out of Oakland Tech HS. Nagee Harris was from Richmond raised with Black Panther activism…only football player that Nick Saban ever called and asked to please come back after Nagee left Tuscaloosa and went back to California for 2 weeks after Saban used demeaning and disrespectful language with him. Nagee walked away…when Saban apologized…Nagee led the Crimson Tide to a Naty. The Bay Area has a rich history of political activism and the heart of it in Berkeley and Oakland. Jaylen came to the right place. Let’s hope he returns to finish his degree and more. He’s like the Andrew Luck of the NBA. Both exceptional athletes but even more exceptional thinkers. Andrew is getting a masters at Stanford now. Jaylen has so much to offer in leadership👏👏👏

[@THECONNECTSPORTSMEDIA]

Needed this bro! 🔥🔥🔥

[@grokguy149]

This is awesome and his connection between Focoult and sports media is really spot on. On the other hand, it is deeply ironic that he seems to see twitch streaming and tiktok fame as breaking free from the panopticon.

[@RankinMsP]

Congratulations on winning the league and being awarded MVP. This is beyond beautiful

[@juice9100]

Solid presentation & I like guys who don't feed into this media bs & do it their way

@@user-tm6qh6mh3g I don't think you know the meaning of that word. But yes it's nice to be a well rounded individual, most people only get one or two, book smart but might not be talented, talented but might not be book smart, or maybe they're both but they're horrible people.

[@artimp152]

Love it! What struck with me with Foucault was the idea that structures, once built, fill themselves, in Madness & Civilization. Foucault's exploration of how in Europe, old colonies for disease evolved in housing for unseemly people (including prostitutes), and finally into Mental Health Institutions. It is a similar idea to Field of Dreams - if you build it, they will come... To take this and apply it to controlled athletic spaces vs the joy of pickup sports. The evolution of elite spaces for highly trained athletes, from the first Olympics to Colosseums and combat pits to todays arenas, at schools as well, shared by multiple sports with owners, & trading rights, also used for mega concerts, and political gatherings. What does this do to the pickup games, sport & music as fun, And political discussion as an exercise in thought and expression between friends and neighbours ? The power and dominance of the Mega spaces vs the joy small intimate exchanges in sport, music and politics ?

[@jwb143]

[@techbhoy121]

Huge fan of jb and Celtics for life

[@StarskyandDutch]

NBA champ and leader off the court, you the man Jaylen.

[@abserooni]

This makes me think about the Kyrie situation rn

[@is0sceles]

3:53 Most of what he says here is incorrect, although I understand he is trying to make an analogy. There has been no confirmation that life was on Mars, yet. There isn't exactly an element of life, but life as we know it on earth is mostly carbon-based (maybe entirely, I am not an expert though, and the outliers are strange things like single-celled organisms that breathe in sulfur). Hydrogen certainly is not the element of life, and its existence in a given place does not imply that the place is hospitable for life. The sun has plenty of hydrogen and is completely inhospitable to life (likely even unknown forms of life). Black holes, surely many of which are composed largely of hydrogen just like everything else in the universe, must also be inhospitable to life. All that said, the initial explanation of panopticism is a good one.

[@KR-uz7mo]

Such a well rounded human. Go bears and go JB!

[@ChristianPusateri]

Impressed. Thought Kyrie was the only modern baller paying attention. Good on you JB

[@HaHa-gy5vg]

JB you should look into Marshall Mcluhan hot vs cold media and how the written word has constrained our thinking in the same way dynamic normalization has.

[@chemicalhap]

youth sports camps really should replace media training with how to own, operate your own media content. If you own or have a share of ownership of the platforms through which media portrayal occurs, then equation of empowerment changes. i can see more NBA players owning their own production companies, taking part in operations like the Athletic, operating direct to the audience endeavors like their own channels/productions. The panopticon is then co-pted by distributed representation. When you control the camera, the lens is no longer restricting you.

very nice sir

[@gothxm]

youre an extremely nuanced individual. If i may offer my opinion : This is something that you already know but I think that media training seems stifling because of its primary goal. It stifles individualism because that is exactly what is risky to do when youre projecting your opinions to many people. so many different permutations of life that people can live and individualism will always rub someone the wrong way. media training mitigates that risk and i i get why some people dont like it. it shaves the edges off of a person. But i also think that its better to be yourself. you'd sleep better at night.
