    Alan is a true treasure. His insights over the years have shaped the person I am, and want to be. The other thing people need to learn to do is listen and understand before they react. I'm tired of people getting up in arms about the 'PC police' and all, and think that people need to be called out on bullshit and bullying behaviour, but equally wish that people would take a breath to try and understand things before they react, and ask for clarification on the words they used.

    This was brilliant. I unconsciously started using this technique about a year ago and it has helped so much when I finally realize it. Not a lot of people can comprehend what linguistics mean when it comes to communication. Every word can and has a profound effect.

    Alan Alda is so eloquent in his communication, so personal, and so caring that I feel like he’s treating me like a good friend of his. And that makes me want to listen to e dry word.

    I'd wish I have Alan Alda as my grandfather. I wouldn't mind seeing him everyday and learning new things over a cup of coffee. Very inspiring, sir!

    I enjoyed listening to your insights, specifically on the value of jargon (if polished). I see that connection in children's stories, including mine! And this is experienced and felt when we, as authors, set to read our stories aloud -for our young readers! During these combinations, I realize the effectiveness of the jargon on kids' as it seems to give them a margin to sink in as they internalize the story and find/discuss their preferred narrative (or ask questions).

    Alan Alda is awesome.. I've seen so much of him starting from childhood with my dad watching reruns of MASH all the way to his role on Louis CK's newer show, and he's always been awesome. Very glad to see him featured here: and it doesn't disappoint, his insights are on point and very insightful..

  • @scienceboy4348
    @scienceboy4348 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The skill that he was talking about is one of important skills which can improve not only the connection with people but even our own selves. In another word, it's kind of self-improvement due to that it has a special communication way with the person who you're communicating with. also, I believe this skill can show a grate improving movement in the society

    Fantastic video on communication. Noise such as jargon can seriously cause reception problems to a receiver.

    I learned so much about how to simplify my language by teaching English to kids in China. I think it's going to follow me well into my career as an occupational therapist.

    I didn't understand the word at 3:00 so I tried to google it. I think it's highfalutinous. I'm not sure if that's actually a word but apparently, there is highfalutin, which matches the context. From google: Highfalutin - (especially of speech, writing, or ideas) pompous or pretentious

    The prenatal to postmortem existential continuum is metaphorically equivalent to a cardboard containment vessel enclosing extremely finely ground Theobroma cacao seeds with a sucrose additive; foreknowledge of material reception is absent.

      Apologies. It's a medical condition. My vernacular serves as an expulsory measure to remove the sub-millimeter crystals of silicon dioxide. It's imperative that this be performed or else I'll run the risk of them embedding in my endometrium ;-)

    Real communicators make sure that the communication extends to those who are deaf or are losing their hearing, or have a processing disorder. Captions are essential if you do not want to exclude a huge demographic.

    If you want to learn something, teach it. (Really, you should learn it, then do it, _then_ teach it so that you’re qualified to teach it and won’t waste all of your time). Once you’re teaching it, you can finish learning it and become a master of it.
    I see the progression going this way: An amateur doesn’t know what to do. An expert knows what to do. A master knows what not to do. That’s why an expert can only teach using jargon, while a master can teach anyone using plain language. An amateur makes something look impossible. An expert makes something look complicated. A master makes something look simple and obvious, or even unnecessary.

    I wish I could be a friend with Alan Alda.
    I wish he wasn't so famous, so I could maybe get his attention and win him over as a friend.
    Does he live in a normal neighborhood and go to normal social stuff?
    If so, I might move there. Except ... would that be a creeper thing?
