Good Morning, World! #74. WHAT MAKES US HUMAN?

[@jacquihollyhead]

My quote for the world “When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace”

[@aisling_90]

Jacqui Hollyhead love that!

[@theonlyenekoeneko]

The way to peace is through peace.

I feel like we're moving too fast with technology, it's scary when you think about how so much has changed in such a short amount of time. We don't take enough time appreciating what we have, we're obsessed with making things better. I've never understood why there needs to be a new iPhone released every year.

[@charliestrains9826]

Companies love making as much money as possible, and to do so they need to keep on top of the market. So that’s why they release one each yeah to ensure they are still popular and can make a ton of money

[@elinorrose344]

Capitalism my friend, it’s usually the reason for most of these types of issues

[@sarahdm1001]

“I’ve spent a lot of time worry about things that Time eventually sorted out for me.” - my billboard advice for the world.

[@libertytickner9988]

Good morning, have a wonderful day. Remember to be kind to yourself, and be a nice human being xxx

[@sophiehare3131]

Good morning, have a lovely day! ❤️ Remember to drink water and remind yourself you are beautiful 💕

[@meganpowell7941]

I genuinely really needed the drinking water advice! Thank you! Xx

I've read an interesting amount of stuff splitting empathy, sympathy, and compassion. I'm someone with relatively low empathy (not by choice! I just struggle to feel as though I'm in someone else's place if I haven't experienced it), and all it means is I rely on sympathy and showing compassion. What I've read has effectively boiled down to - you don't need to /feel/ what someone else is feeling in order to be there for them.

[@JayJasperLondon]

Empathy is so important but it’s still not quite clear if it’s something you have or something that can be learned and if it’s something u taught urself - through therapy or whatever - does it still add the same type of quality to the human side of your personality, your “goodness” .. plus there is a difference between empathy and true compassion. You can witness a person’s pain and empathise by putting yourself in their shoes and imagining the pain YOU would feel in that very same situation.. but that would still just be YOUR way of looking at it and feeling the impact, NOT THEIRS... If on the other hand YOU’RE in pain too, not just because u imagine what it would feel like (i.e. empathise with them) but because you’ve done that and it effects you so much that you hurt from seeing them in pain.. THAT is true compassion.. and something u can never imitate or learn.. it’s a connection that simply happens and you can’t get more human, more humane than that

[@SamWest96]

There was a BBC programme years ago about what makes us human. I like the idea behind what they said. We are not the only species to use and make tools but we are the only ones to decorate them. So art. I love that.

[@Mai2727]

I've never cried out of happiness so Carrie would be wary of me LOL. I've only cried out of sadness.

[@juliewiebe6686]

I have a hard time being empathetic. Like I understand when something is sad but I just don’t feel any emotional connection.

[@gailryder2731]

I was 10 when the moon landing took place and that's when my family bought our first color (I'm American thus no u in color😊) Television. The moon landing was big, but the Personal Computer along with the Internet changed humans so much more. Which makes me think the invention of the telephone probably was mind blowing to my great grandparents.

[@xzonia1]

You make a good point. My grandfather crossed the US in a covered wagon to get here to Texas, and he still had the first phone his family ever owned mounted to the wall of his living room ... it looked like this: lunarmobiscuit.com/selling-the-first-telephone/ He also had a modern phone in his house, but I think it wowed him when he got that first one and could connect to people without having to physically be there and so always kept it. He died in 1984, so he never saw the Internet as we know it today, but if he were around I think he'd have loved connecting to people from around the world on it. He'd still want to see people in person, too, but I think he'd love connecting online. :)

[@XheyJJx]

It’s good to make mistakes. That’s how we learn. That why kids fall down when they are learning to walk.thats how they learn.

[@maceypattenden8296]

I'd have to say money, as it's so unique to the human race. Or maybe the justice system, to ensure that fairness is upheld. The idea of fairness actually is the original point of both of those ideas so maybe that

[@cl5289]

Morning Remember happiness can be found in the darkest of time if one only remembers to turn on the light.

[@xzonia1]

The hard part is finding the light switch in the dark. Just keep looking! :)

[@ErikDijk]

I think our ways of communicating are also very defining to our species. It's so weird that we can learn about things that happened on the other side of the continent in a few minutes. Or how you guys making this video somewhere near London, can make me think about certain topics somewhere in the Netherlands

[@MGthief26]

Cooking is definitely so human, no other species transforms their food into something else or thinks to combine flavours!

[@autumnpearl6851]

It’s literally 2am where I live but I can’t sleep so ya❤️❤️❤️

[@aliceloftus]

Good Morning :)I'm currently doing some Fan art so I'll send it in when I'm done

[@XheyJJx]

I think I’d say something like ‘love each other’

[@amylloyd1774]

As someone from the midlands. Thank you for not saying 'im from Birmingham' for your accent 😂

[@graceoshea7167]

Awful morning so far this really cheered me up. ❤️

[@ErikDijk]

Aww i hope the rest of your day will be better

[@OnlyOneTubing]

To me, Being Human feels like making mistakes is the worst thing in the world, But knowing you have made those mistakes can help you to never do that again.

[@tijay8507]

I think it goes back to the invention of electricity without that it not many things would not have been possible xxx

[@JonathanFalconeryt]

Morning! Loving these chat videos! Never seen peaky blinders I’ll check it out.

[@StarshipRanger93]

Very late to the party but re: the microphone thing ... I feel like I couldn't pass the opportunity just to go "FORTY TWO" like the computer in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 🤣

[@Kelsey1309]

I used to work at Melbourne Airport (Australia) and I was the one who would get called over to tables in the restaurant I worked at to translate Glaswegian accents! :) I'm Australian, but my best friend of 15 years is Glaswegian so I have become accustomed to the accent.

[@alyssamaehurley6090]

we are the only species that pay to live

[@xzonia1]

This was a lovely chat! I totally agree about the moon landing. It's inspirational, and shows what we are like as humans. Curiosity really drives us all to explore and progress. :) Were you about to sing Just the Way You Are by Billy Joel? (Don't go changing to try to please me...) I emailed you saying I love him. X)

[@jeanwebster9553]

Morning,

[@jacquihollyhead]

Also another ‘don’t ‘ song- don’t stand so close to me (police)!

[@hazelchief-rabbit5903]

Haha, this song actually came up on the radio while I was driving home the other day 😄

[@Avril.]

😀

[@alastairmonk6439]

Whilst Man landing on the moon was a staggering achievement (I was 7 at the time) perhaps this event was overshadowed by Man (or Woman) discovering fire ...

[@tracyfarebrother2018]

Love this here's a brilliant film 2 watch "the imitation game" u should watch it xxx

[@whoami.24601]

I find it really interesting/frightening how technology is constantly making progess with things like AI and cloning, but we haven't spent a lot of time thinking about how close to human something can be before it is human. What is the difference between a very advanced AI and a person? Movies like Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 really bring this home. If something looks human, acts human, has human attributes and feelings, then how will we deal with that? In Blade Runner 2049, K talks about the difference is that as a clone he wasn't born and doesn't have a soul, but souls are not even something we know exists and what difference does it make if someone is cloned or born, in the end?

[@ranbush]

The only accent I can hear in my head is a Russian accent... it may be something to do with the fact that I am obsessed with killing eve... or not... but probably is

[@39rodgers94]

don't stop me now

[@Larissa_KD]

This may not be the best time to wear an NYPD sweater...

[@amelia3841]

Came down here to say this, too.

[@Ginny97263]

[@bludelight]

Don't drop the mic, Oli. They're expensive. lol

[@healthyholemealbread]

Didn’t loads of people in the mt world cancel that guy for suggesting singers should learn to read music?

[@charliestrains9826]

Kicking the mic over would very much annoy your sound no.1&2😂. Never a good idea, trust me ik.
