      I feel sad that even though he lived life to the full, making the most of his huge potentials & opportunities, life was still horrendous to him in the end. The airplane crash which caused him to suffer chronic painful neuropathy 😔 & a subsequent addiction to coedine, for instance, it confirms my belief that there is no rhyme nor reason to the awful things that can happen in this life & sometimes it is better to play it safe & have a simple life than to be innovative and take big risks. Makes me anxious for the little people who still have so much innocence 💕. It's lucky we are getting better at helping people with addiction & wellbeing but I don't know what can be done to help chronic pain & neuropathy & countless other random tragedies that life can bring that cannot be helped. That's why we should look after ourselves and each other 🌎 ❤️

    As usual, this was excellent. So much written about Hughes glosses over his injuries and their severity. As a chronic pain sufferer myself, I can only imagine what he endured. The sad thing to me is that he was surrounded by yes men because of his money and no one insisted he get proper care. I suppose he'd have fired them if they tried, though.

      Hughes busted his ass pretty badly when he crashed his plane attempting to make an emergency landing at a golf course. His flight was wrought with errors and the investigation that followed showed that he didn't follow his flight plan nor did he follow established procedures for test flying a new plane. He was one-hundred percent at fault for the crash.

    Great analysis that deepened my understanding of the man and his history. He was a genius in business and technology and made significant contributions to the world of aviation. It's unfortunate that the inordinate wealth and privilege that afforded him so many opportunities had drawn him into a worldview that was far removed from reality. He lived in a gilded cage where money resolved every problem or difficulty and shielded him from consequences. It's ironic that in the end, he found himself alone and a "prisoner" of his fears and failing health which no amount of money could liberate him from. Thanks for another interesting video, Dr. Grande!

    Just sharing for those who aren't familiar with allodynia, because it can be maddening and quite difficult to deal with. It's one of the things I have (best docs can figure is it's from the fibromyalgia and my whackadoodle nervous system), and the way I describe a bad day is *anything* that touches or brushes against the skin hurts, especially seams, cotton that isn't super soft or 'brushed', and even the slightest pressure (ex: from leaning back in a chair or lying down in bed). There have been times that I couldn't stand nail files vibrating my fingers (though I do grit my teeth, and file my talons as needed), and I have definitely fashioned a super soft, fleece blanket into a toga or wrap dress or jammies, and worn that around the house (sans literally anything else) on several occasions. I also have chronic pain, from several conditions, but I feel that is probably more commonly known than allodynia.
    I'm not trying to 100% explain Hughes with my comment - only offering a bit of pain warrior insight for those who said "ALLO-what? ALLO-who?" when the wonderful Dr Grande included this condition in his analysis. And thank you, Dr Grande, for opening the door that let me explain and educate just a bit about this symptom / condition.😊

    • @michelleA9502
      @michelleA9502 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      As someone who has multiple family members with OCD I have observed what has been true for them. Yes, very attentive to details, perfectionistic, and very conscientious. For the people I know, they start out well at a job or endeavor because of the above traits and because they are intelligent. But in a varying amount of time, from weeks to months, they gradually begin to lose control over the OCD and become ever more stressed. Even though they remain conscientious, their productivity falls dramatically as obsessions and rituals either about rechecking that their work (whatever type it may be) has been done correctly and perfectly, or the strains of trying to hide their problem and symptoms out of shame becomes overpowering. Supervisors and coworkers who initially praised their work begin to express unhappiness that work is not on time anymore, or that "you should have completed 10 chores today like you did before, but you only did three..." They begin to feel shamed and inadequate because of a disorder they can't help having, know they are letting people down, and try to compensate by working more, or skipping lunch, etc. Other people don't understand why the great worker is so "lazy" now, and inevitably frictions develop. This only increases the OCD sufferers symptoms, and everything starts swirling like an F5 tornado down the drain of failure. This leads to them quitting their job, or being fired, only to return to the job market, make a great first impression, and the tornado slowly spins again. I have seen this in 2 family members. It breeds great shame, embarrassment, hopelessness, lots of anger, and a feeling that they can never live up to the high potential they innately have. One family member described the disorder as "being burned at the stake every day but never being allowed to die." It made me feel so sad, because there wasn't anything I personally could do. Another relative's OCD revolved around religiosity and scrupulosity to the point that they spent much of their time praying and being worried that if they thought of the devil accidently, they'd become possessed, or if they had an "impure thought" that that meant they were going to act on it unless they exercised Puritanical control of everything so they wouldn't end up wearing a scarlet letter. That person drove me away from them, because they judged others and me like they did through their own sadly warped glasses. OCD is a horrible destroyer of people who have a lot to contribute, but who are so worn out from fighting this demon, that they aren't allowed. I have studied my family extensively. People think OCD is only worrying about germs, cleaning, or washing your hands. For sure, it contains those elements, but I've seen people with the cleaning and hand washing, along with worrying about the devil and being perfect on the job. Also, symptoms shift and change over time. They may conquer one obsession and be ecstatic, only to find that a newer, even more malicious one has adapted itself to what they care about most. I wish I could write a scientific paper about this so doctors can understand. Because I've been at the doctor's with different family members, and no one seems to realize the extent to which this thing extends it's nasty tentacles through the person's brains and thoughts.

    How about the question: What is the profile of internet trolls? I know a person (ex-spouse) who trolls for fun and is always getting kicked off of social media - when asked he said he was bored. He says horrible things and calls people the worst names you could imagine. Why do people troll and not think they are talking about / to real people?

    I supported a lady who had worked very closely with Howard Hughes (she has now died) she asked me to take her to see the movie "The Aviator" as she was curious as she had seen the trailer. After we watched the film she told me that she did not recognise Howard in any part of the film.. That he was made out to be "some sort of nice hero in the film" And that the film didn't touch at all on his most interesting aspects of his life or personality. She said he was entertainingly!! narcissistic, selfish (never learnt to share), truly entitled and very racist amongst other things (he was completely against black civil rights and had a low tolerance for italians). She said he had difficulties in respecting and listening to women including herself. Though he had married a woman she was pretty sure Howard was bi sexual "He fluttered". And he had boundaries/rules regarding everything. I hope another film maker in the future represents him properly in the future. As he is an interesting individual.

      The Aviator showed him in his early days though. Some people still found him charming then, rather shy, clever and generous as opposed to weird or unpleasant. Sounds like your friend knew him in 1950's-60's when he was legitimately whacko.

      I would be intrigued by the comparison. Disorders aside, I think they're birds of the same ideological feather. I was particularly interested when Musk quipped recently about a US backed coup change of government in Bolivia; something to the effect of - America can coup any country we want any time we want. Incidentally, the Bolivians managed to vote their leftist party of choice back in on the next election cycle. I guess the right wing government didn't get the Diebold voting machines in fast enough to control the elections. It must be wonderful to have some sort of accountable representative democracy going. I can only imagine from my location.
      Then too, Musk has announced that ~ his ~ Mars Colony won't be answerable to Earth governments or law. From this, I wonder if his vision is of a Martian Muskopoly? I wonder, has he watched "The Expanse"? 'Belters gona rise...

      I certainly can't and you didn't ask me, so hope you'll not mind my reply. I feel chemicals play a major part, especially for women, teenagers of both sexes and anyone who experience hormonal changes. For example, I think a lot of women could get insight from plotting a graph of their behaviour alongside their menstrual cycle. That's just one thing of course, as you say, life events can contribute, the body is adept at secreting a chemical for every experience, just think of the taste of adrenaline. I'm sure a lot of people could benefit from some kind of HRT, something to balance their personal chemicals...but as we are all as individual as snowflakes, I guess it's going to take some really clever computers to figure it out.
