I've watched and learned so much from cecil that I feel compelled to buy something from his site. And I will. Thanks Cecil!

Looking at it from an exterior perspective (im French) it often seems like USA children would be better of not going to school.

35:46 Being unethical to ourselves

[@andreiandrei9059]

Health refers to well-being using zoological, psychical and social criteria. Having mere a healthy body doesn't mean much if you are psychically or socially ill.

[@andrewcollins5388]

Undoubtedly true, yet the mere fact such topics don't occur in this video does not reflect an oversight upon this. This video is talking upon physical health, as a component of well being. :)

[@post-structuralist]

I find your comments absolutely ludicrous because what psychology says and whatever "socially ill" means are abstract and may have nothing to do with what you define as health. Just because other people say you are unhealthy, does not make you that.
"Socially ill" is just coercion.

[@andreiandrei9059]

@@post-structuralist You could have been right if merely survive and living for a purpose would have ben the same thing.

[@post-structuralist]

@Andrei Andrei No, thriving is up to the individual, and whatever purpose he comes to follow is his own. What we have in society and culture, are them trying to force their narratives on you.
I'm merely coming from an individualist perspective. Health to you is what ought to matter, not what some fool who tries to psychoanalyze you says.

[@post-structuralist]

@Andrei Andrei The error with you is that you believe purpose comes from the outside and from other people. I'm here to tell you that it is bogus.

26:55 Does anyone have any information or studies that say that poor people report lower anxiety and stress. Because I just find the opposite that poverty increase stress.

[@euruproktos1278]

Not a real study per se www.cnbc.com/2018/04/18/more-money-means-more-stress-says-new-study.html from personal experience, all my bosses were much more stressed than I was, in general; they always had too much work related stress.
