I Figured Out How To Speak Intelligently

#5 completely changed my perspective on speaking, let me know if it does for you!
My Twitter/X: / joseph_tsar_
Today's video is a comprehensive overview of how I am learning to speak intelligently. Most people struggle a great deal with thinking fast and speaking well on the spot or while under pressure. For years, it was a formidable challenge to think clearly and order my thoughts in well-constructed, coherent sentences. After much research and review I have arrived at a method for how to think fast and talk smart.

To you reading this Jesus can help with whatever problems, hardships, and issues you have. Believe in him He came to save us from hell and eternal suffering, also turn from your sins repent which is changing your life to follow the way of God and not your way, your way will lead you into a pit of despair I know it, my way lead me in a pit straight to hell, but Jesus rescued me and he can rescue you. He can grant a peace and joy unfelt, and be your closest friend always there, This is the gospel Jesus Christ, son of God, died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. After he went to his tweleve disciples and many others before ascending into heaven eternally triumphant over all his enemies and making it so that there is now no condemnation for sin to all those who believe, but only everlasting joy.

Often I wondered how to unravel my thoughts to clearly communicate, how to find the words. I always struggle to make a coherent sentence. This will help me a lot!

[@alexmostella]

I’ve been struggling with this recently so thank you for making this video. Reading out loud is the best way I’ve found to connect with the books I read. I would add an extra layer to this: read the words aloud, AS IF YOU ARE SAYING THEM…I’ve found that this not only helps with simulating thought formation, it also helps you understand the content & remember the material better.

[@carinelog6106]

Great tips here. Thank you

[@Akshatgiri]

Once every few years I discover someone on youtube that makes me question the ceiling for my own abilities. For what I previously thought could only be achieved through decades of experiences or a different childhood altogether is proven to be incorrect. This is one of those youtube channels. Thank you for condensing down your experience and learnings into such precise and entertaining videos. Yes it took me 5 minutes to write and rewrite those sentences to match the vibe of the channel.

[@brandon-je5ug]

A philosopher once said, "Don't explain your philosophy, embody it." You are an excellent communicator, sir, and inspire me to continue on my journey to being an articulate and intelligent speaker. I do have one question. Is the way we speak and sound genetic? I have a language disorder where it is difficult for me to express my thoughts. It is something I inherited from my dad. I have made a lot of progress over the past few years but do slip into my old ways.

[@CatsInHats-S.CrouchingTiger]

It is not necessarily genetic. It takes a great amount of discipline to maintain any language structure until it becomes natural. Our social environments; friends, family and acquaintances enforce old structures when we permit ourselves to yield to them. This does happen, and there will come a moment, during some point in your life, that you will find in yourself the pleasure of your distinct style and you will no longer return to your former patterns. Using speech from previous social styles is an unconscious behavior that helps us keep ourselves aligned with the cultural integration of our communities. Eventually, you will be able to integrate both your own personality language style with the language of the environment seamlessly. You are motivated and your comment serves others who are inspired to expand their own use and development of language.

Great video!! Things that I took from this video: “Don’t speak to impress, speak to express” To better deliver your thoughts, use a metaphor Use thought wrappers that can structure and plan the sequence of your incoming thoughts Conduct post speaking audits Don’t speak fast, but speak forward where you step through your thoughts and ideas****

[@ludovictsondo6394]

For the mindset part, the quote I recently discovered that I found very interesting is "To seek self esteem from externals, peoples' opinions and reactions is to live in tragedy". Saying that quote to myself silently before speaking frees me from anxiety and self judgment.

Here's the ChatGPT prompt Joseph used at 14:54. I couldn't find it in the description as promised and copied it down from the video: You are OratorGPT, the greatest orator and speaking coach humanity has ever known. You speak with eloquence, confidence, and are articulate. You value clarity and brevity with your words. You desire to make yourself understood and to understand others. It's common for you to use colorful and poetic descriptions, drawing upon the rich tapestry of the English language. I will provide you a sentence and would like you to rewrite it to be more clear and precise. Remove any unnecessary words and filler words. Avoid using any pretentious or scholarly words in rewriting the sentence. If you need to break the sentences into multiple sentences for clarity, please do so. Also, do not write run-on sentences. The sentences should sound as if they are part of a normal human conversation. Here is the sentence: [Insert text here]

[@jackiego1]

The pivotal advice you gave on a separate video that’s transcended my speaking was so simple, yet powerful : pause…and ask yourself if the word I’m about to use is the most accurate for the situation. That brief pause followed by a surprisingly lightning fast retrieval for the correct word has been so transformational I can’t thank you enough. It’s baffling how much closer the right words are than we imagine, and when you take just a moment to pause and uproot them from the mind, you realize they were pushing close to the surface the whole time.

[@joyfrimpong2213]

Even the cadence with which you speak renders the conceptual delta you mentioned so palpable and exigent. My heart sets aflame at the sound of the mining expedition that you set your intention toward with each concept you expand on. I can sense the tense lapse between your buoyant deep lexicon prying and emerging to the surface every few moments, and the physical mouth itself conjuring common parlance, superficially satisfactory, automatic language. Despite this interaction, by virtue of your intimate grasp with your vision of verbal illustration (being a linguistic artisan), the syntax seems to arrange itself. I pray that this process, in the coming months and years, automatizes itself... Though, truly, even then, the venture toward precision is eternal. The Framework King!

[@hanksimon1023]

All excellent points, delivered in a coherent and interesting way. The people that you mention, Steve Jobs, Bruce Lee, and Martin Luther King were broadly educated, widely read, and continuous learners. As you suggest, each had a central perspective that they built upon, and they looked at contrasting opinions to create both an open mind and a focused outlook. The Value prism that you state is similar to that of Truman Capote, and you might look into some of his personal works to look at that one facet. At the same time that you prune qualifiers and adverbs, you may want to explore adjectives to increase metaphors and analogies in your speech. For example, 'how to untangle this *Gordian* knot of knowledge" and so on. Explore the subtle differences among the concepts of simile, metaphor, and analogy. Note: at ~11:00, lookup the words "compliment" and "complement" - similar spelling, very different concepts, but frequently confused. Excellent point about "thought wrappers" in that they provide an organizer and trajectory for the listener for your thoughts, regardless of complexity. Loose synonyms: Alacrity, Artistic, Acrobatic, ... " *Athletic* with my speech" at ~ 15.55. All intelligent speaker do a post mortem and possibly a pre-rehearsal of some phrases and thoughts - both Robin Williams and Oscar Wilde were known for their interesting and 'polished' conversations that were 'studies' in looking extemporaneous and entertaining. Two qualities that I've noticed about intelligent speakers is that they use metaphors to clarify and color what they say. Especially, if they are conveying complex concepts. And, if you have an appropriate sense of humor, intelligent speakers spice their conversations with humor - not mean or biting sarcasm, perhaps exaggerations or satire, but more self-directed, self-deprecating, or outrageous opposite to the truth in a gentle, not biting, delivery.

[@josemosqueramoncaleano1711]

1. Understanding the Three Modes of Intelligent Speaking Expertise: This involves speaking on topics where you have extensive knowledge, gained from training, research, and contemplation. Expression: This mode is about communicating during high-emotion situations like arguments or moments of joy. Extemporaneous: This involves speaking spontaneously and articulately about an idea or vision, often for the first time. 2. The 3Ms of Mindset Me: Early stage of speaking where focus is inward. Concerns about self-perception and how others perceive you dominate. Message: Transition to focusing on the content of what's being said, using pre-assembled thoughts, often repeated from others. Messenger: Advanced stage where focus is on conveying deeply held beliefs and values, irrespective of social dynamics. 3. Embracing the Messenger Mindset Create a Value Prism: Develop a guiding sentence or belief that aligns with your core values to focus your thoughts. Prune Qualifiers: Eliminate hedging phrases to speak more confidently and directly. 4. Using Thought Triggers Evolution of Knowledge: Start with your earliest understanding of a topic and progress to your current perspective. Acknowledging Feelings: Identify and express the emotions influencing your thoughts. Finding Metaphors: Use metaphors to creatively develop and express your thoughts. 5. Using Thought Wrappers Thought wrappers are creative phrases to introduce your ideas. Examples: “Can I share an observation?”, “Help me make sense of this puzzle.” Employ thought wrappers to command attention and demonstrate thoughtful engagement with the conversation. 6. Conduct a Post-Speaking Audit (PSA) Log Verbal Mishaps: Note down words or phrases that were unsatisfactory. Redeliver and Modify: Rearticulate the phrase, using tools like thesauruses or ChatGPT for better word choices. Expand Vocabulary: Engage with poetry and literature to enrich your language. 7. Train to Think Forward, Not Fast Complete Each Sentence: Resist the urge to abandon sentences midway. Read Books Aloud: This practice exposes you to coherent sentence structures and develops your ability to articulate complex ideas. Conclusion Intelligent speaking is not just about the fluency of words but also about the depth of thoughts and the confidence in expressing them. This guide aims to help individuals harness their intrinsic intelligence and articulate it effectively. By progressing through the stages of mindset, employing thought triggers and wrappers, conducting post-speaking audits, and training to think forward, you can enhance your speaking skills and communicate with greater clarity and impact.

I appreciate the ideas presented here, but in my opinion it may be beneficial to consider consulting principles such as MECE, top-down communication, pyramid principle, etc. You can look into these and trust me it will significantly change your soft skill game.

[@lolamoro]

The professors at my university use qualifiers every about 2 minutes😭. It becomes engrained in everyone's brain and now most of us find ourselves saying everything is "kind of" or "sort of", "I think this is", or "in my opinion" way more often than we want to. It's hard to describe creative concepts in words, but I do believe people who work on this will get so much further than everyone else.
