His deliberate effort to refer back to what he Shio says earlier in the conversation is a way to demonstrate his listening. Anyone can pretend to listen however being able to regurgitate what you heard proves it to the other person and allows them to go deeper and share more by being more comfortable.

I saw Jon posted this on his Instagram and it was interesting to see how triggered people were in the comments section, outraged that an abuser was being given a platform. I highly doubt these people watched the interview. Personally, as a woman who experienced physical and emotional abuse at the hands of a man I found this conversation healing, and I’m incredibly grateful you shared this. THIS is masculinity, THIS is how we heal masculinity. When men are given safe spaces to be radically authentic,raw and vulnerable they heal, and we all heal. I don’t wish for the demise of the man who abused me, I wish for his redemption, I wish for him to heal, so that he can be a better man and treat women with the love and respect that they deserve. Can’t wait to see more open and raw conversations likes these.

I am quick to point fingers and write them off completely. But all people deserve second chances. Men like Shia deserve the opportunity to get to the root cause of their issues and do everything in their power to make amends. Shia - if you’re reading this, I want to thank you for sharing your truth with the world. It was the most profound interview I have ever listened to.

Yes! Thank you for pointing this out because that’s so profoundly important to realize. The problems men face are valid & resources need to be there so they’ll have the tools to gain an understanding on the root cause & gain the self awareness to change. I watched this documentary about people who facilitate the rehabilitation of domestic violence offenders & the utter vitriol & hate they get is shocking. People want to just write these offenders off. Almost wanting to euthanise them. I understand that it’s difficult to separate the sin from the sinner but there should be room to actually offer support to those who want to change. The most influential of people are usually the ones that were the biggest sinners. The most inspiring to those that struggle are the ones who also struggled but came out victorious. Imagine if we just wrote everyone of them off & subsequently also writing off the lives they were able to save when they did change.

Second time im watching this interview and its the best interview i've ever seen. This interview is like someone, somehow, recording our troubled inner voices talk to each other. Do these two men even realise what they have done with this interview? They are saving lives! How many can say they saved lives through words alone? It is unfathomable how valuable this talk was...

I don't like that way he looks at shia . Something is off with him. He seems like he's hiding hate .

Dude… They’re friends…

[@mynamesdillan]

@@thesnailiscoming..5736 i dont think hes hiding hate but i agree with you that he is looking at him in some odd way

[@mikemyon3570]

Interesting you guys see it that way. To me it came across totally different. From my perspective I saw what he also said to Shia: He loves him, he wants to help & support him and he did with having him on his show. To me, actions speak much louder than words or looks he might give. I could also sense that in his whole behavior while listening, he was totally empathic and felt with Shia. So now that you saw something he might have hid from Shia or some hate, is it maybe that deep in yourself, there is something feeling like this? So you believe to see it in someone else? Since this is only text and no voice, be aware I say this with the intention of support for you, since in my own experience I have many times seen & maybe disliked things in other people that actually where things in myself I needed to fix. So for this could be a hint for you where to look for further self-development. Where are all on our own way of development, but also we're in this together. I hope my intention comes across the way it was meant.

Shia’s brutal honesty is very refreshing in a society that is terrified to say the wrong thing. To confess wrongdoing while admitting to still being on the journey is a realistic encouragement. His testimony is no “movie moment” but it’s a slight nudge that gets you one step closer to transformation. Confession & apologies aren’t enough. Thank you Shia for emphasizing we have to actually change in the areas where we fall short 🙏🏻

This isn't just a Shia thing. This is a whole generation and then some of broken people. The ego, the self-centeredness, putting career and craft above all, finding validation in shallow pursuits, lack of delayed gratification, victim mentality, nihilism. The list goes on. It's a cultural thing. It's systemic. It's engineered and applauded. These are the ideas and behaviors that have been sold to us as "progress" and "empowering" when in reality they are LITERALLY the opposite of those things, and lead you down the opposite path that you intended to go down. There are no mistakes or coincidences. When so many people are led down this path there is an intention behind it. You've been sold a shit playbook for life. Realizing that, and the roots of how and why that happens should be enough to make you want to change your habits. Tomorrow's a new day.
