    this is actually much much deeper than it first seems like. the talk kinda reminds me of a book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert M. Pirsig

    There are some good tips for learning story telling. They are change, cause and effect, moral outrage, eudaemonic, and the god moment. With those you can be a fantastic storry teller.

    Because of ones temporalobepilepsy I experience several seconds a
    day/night, but you
    must understand I have had this (20 second of flashing/stimulating the
    temporal lobe)
    take place ever since I can remember speaking in the English language.
    As an infant I
    couldn’t even notice it. It’s the cliché 1000-yard stare. I
    take noting for the actual flash
    although I have read some ‘Doctors?’ have a way of silencing or curing
    this significant
    source of turning off my conscious and linguistically takes in
    information that has not
    only convinced me that it’s a form of ‘tapping-down-the-streams-of-our
    unconscious’s’.
    These flashes have open up-I also speak in tongues of an addicted
    Hypergraphicalist!
    On any type receipts, envelopes, standard-typing-paper,
    napkins, scraps, post-it-notes

    • @adammiller6299
      @adammiller6299 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's what I heard too. But it's eudaemonic happiness, and I'm not sure how exactly it differs from regular happiness . . . I think, maybe, there's an element of self-fulfillment involved.

    The absolute absurdity of a cold dead universe at the end of a good talk with a tragic ending if you buy it. His proposed end to our story. To say everything ends in nothing is to say, everything came from nothing. Being that there is evidently something, there could never be nothing.

  • @tomthetaletellerphillips
    @tomthetaletellerphillips 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Some great tips bit, as a traditional oral storyteller is advise you to stay still! It was exhausting watching you wander around the stage. Plant your feet, control your movements, play the pauses and relax, only then can you think about these tips.

    An excellent example for how NOT to tell a story... Boring to death, rich with misleading gestures, intonation and pompous wording resulting an a rather empty dramatic hyperbole advocation for something you are not anymore sure was the topic of the lecture.
