    Gobsmacked to learn Tim is self taght on the piano {as well as everything else!}. Had assumed he had a classical concert pianist background! Even more impressed.
    As for working hard at things, to succeed, yes, but, Tim does have several natural advantages. Firstly, he has a creative and enquiring mind and is open to continuous learning.
    Second, he has a huge intellect and, more important than all of the rest; >
    Third, he has 'stickability'. The capacity to start, persevere and complete any task he sets his mind to - with total committment.
    Lot's of people have talent, of various kinds, but not the 'oomph' to carry it through. for various reasons.
    He is a great role model for going the unconventional route and being open to trying all kinds of new things. We never know what we are good at, or not, unless we try.
    Great to see him generously committing some time to being inspirational to others.

    I think Tim, we can all be kind to one another (a broad term but for me this feels like civility, decency and the golden rule) while also not condoning or allowing the seeds of hate to grow. In my country a rapist will be president. It doesn’t matter how kind I am, people I know who have been raped have to try and weather this unimaginable outcome in what should be a modern democratic republic. Kindness is good for many things, we also must have a strong and steady course that does not allow truly bad people from dominating us.

      I think that being kind has nothing to do with tolerating one's behaviour, no matter how narcistic or sociopathic as it may be. No one has to tolerate, except or "like" that behaviour!! I do think that being kind is about trying to understand where even the "worst" person is coming from, hearing their story and perhaps be willing to put aside our biases and automatic emotional responses which are so fed by the media and internet. Having said that, if anyone ever hurt my kids all my biases, love , energy, investment and compassion would surely kick in and I know exactly what I would at least want to do to such a perpetrator! Whether I did or would be another story 🤣🤣

    As a ‘straight white’ older man I find myself drifting ever more to the left than I already was though increasingly irritated with the radical left (as much as the far right) which now seems to represent something almost alien to socialist perspectives and often insufficiently informed on geopolitics and history. I find myself agreeing with so much Tim Minchin is saying as he articulates well ideas I’ve long held. Promoting positive narratives is surely the only way we’ll achieve any harmony in human society and address environmental crises also

    Agree with him. Tyere is a daying in tamil which says,two hands are needed to clap. If one person is abusive and the abused does not react,that act ends there. An eye for an eye makes everyone blind. We have so much hatred and violence in this world. Is it that difficult not to be violent and full of hatred?

    I really rebel against the idea that we all have to be informed and have opinions. Why? We can't possibly know everything that's happening on the planet so how do we choose what to be informed about? I gave up on television and social media decades ago. I am entertained and occasionally informed by what _I_ choose on TH-cam, but otherwise I just get on with my life. My parents and grandparents had perfectly happy lives with little or no input from the so called "news" (which is often untrue). I'm happily and peacefully existing without it too. If someone asks what I think about a topic, I just say "I have no opinion about that" and they leave me alone. Mostly 😊. I think if you're lucky enough to be born into a peaceful happy life, why fill it with angst. That does nothing to help the people genuinely suffering.

    Wow, I have had the same thoughts about the bad consequences of our species starting with farming (militarized societies and huge wars are among them), and I've never heard anyone else saying that - or if I have, they have only spoken about bad health consequences of starting to eat a lot of grains and starch. Yet, if we hadn't started farming, I guess we would probably not even have books. Farming made modern civilization possible, good and bad.

    I wonder what his definition of bigot is. In my experience, society labels as bigots, people who hold onto views that they don't agree with, however much they try and persuade them of another perspective. That's not necessarily a bigot. It could well be somebody standing their ground, holding a different, and maybe unpopular, opinion.

      I think he would know the difference between someone who simply has different ideas or opinions to him and a bigot who is not open to any new arguments,ideas or who has not really thought deeply or in any considered way about the opinions they hold.A bigot is a person who simply has reactive views or beliefs or opinions based on little evidence but personal prejudices or disinformation,very little research or evidence would support their opinions.They are usually reactive.unable to show workings for their thinking,opinions often based in hate of certain groups or people based on things like race or gender...thats a bigot.Unexamined beliefs and opinions fiercely held onto despite any evidence to the contrary...its not merely a difference of opinion and I'm sure he knows the difference
