    "Thinking that we have to say everything in the right words perfectly, often leads to a lot of intellectual paralysis where we say nothing at all, and many people don't say anything, not because they haven't anything to say, but because they think it's only worth saying it if they can say it well." !!!!

      Hey I wanna tell you something, Jesus loves you and has a good plan for your life and wants you to go to heaven you just have to accept the free gift of salvation Jesus gave us all by dying for all our sins on the cross and being resurrected 3 days later (coming back to life 3 days later) making a way for us into heaven.

    the reason why someone struggle in speeches is not because they're poor learner; they just haven't chosen the values they want to reflect as a speaker.

    One interesting thing I noticed about this video is how organized it was, but there weren’t many cuts in the video. Essentially, you didn’t use editing as a tool to organize the thoughts for you, you already had them organized very well in your head. I always find it satisfying when someone practices exactly what they are talking about at the SAME TIME they are telling you about it. It goes to prove how well the method works.

      It's refreshing to see someone speak entire sentences, with no instantaneous stitching together of his lines of thoughts. Those brief silences build up a degree of anticipation for what he's about to say.
      Appreciating this requires more self-discipline. Then again, doing better at anything requires that as well.

    The notion of input vs. output as it relates to better articulation was a major standout in this video. For as long as I can remember, I've felt like I was someone who was great at receiving, comprehending, and internalizing information, but never at reiterating it or transmitting my perspective on it. Whenever I picked up journaling, I got tremendously better at structuring the information overload present in my mind. I now realize it's a great mechanism to untangle my jumbled thoughts + communicate them out loud much more coherently.

  • @annalin9151
    @annalin9151 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +38

    I think another reason why people may not articulate or practice articulating is because intuitively they understand themselves very well, and are excellent of comprehending how OTHER people articulate. However, articulating one’s opinions requires entitlement to the space for which you can speak, and to feel enough confidence that whatever you say is something you can defend from other people. Great video!! Given me lots to think about.

    This made me better understand why in school we're most often required to give answers in our own words, rather than quoting or copying the source where we get the answer from. Pretty much the same thing as what people mean when they say teaching is the best way to learn. Having to teach someone, you need to be able to output the idea in your own words and have a detailed understanding to be able to teach in a way the other party will understand too.

  • @xuebai2191

    My main takeaways paired with my own experience:
    1) in today's world of fast social media consumption, a lot of people lack the access to their thoughts / opinions on a deeper level, and often what we say comes from anecdotes, quotes that is disconnected with our values, which makes it feel fake or ingenue
    2) To access to the deeper layers, we have to make sure what our values are (which is the backbone of our opinions, and deliberate practicing various forms of output to make the woven thoughts in our mind clearer and sharper
    3) A lot of people (including me) say nothing, and it's not because they don't have anything to say, it's because they think it's only worth saying it if they can say it well. Intellectual humility is undervalued nowadays, it's completely fine for us to say imperfectly and admit that we don't know

    Knowing your intention and end goal of statement is important to me. I've found I like to word vomit when writing thoughts and then I edit to remove the fluff.
    This has helped me become more succinct when speaking. There is no need to explain everything up front or the full thought process, allowing someone to ask questions creates conversations and engages the other person. I've almost thought about what I want to say in bullet points as opposed to fluffy storytelling

    one thing i do that helps me organize my thoughts is "i feel very passionate about this may i please take a second to respond" with my friends and coworkers. It lets everyone decompress from a stressful topic and gives BOTH parties the time to think. You can even say "Can i have a second to think how to respond" (more casual) Then think about the goal / concept you want to explain and then how can you say it in the most concise way.

    I have always confused people with using a lot of complicated words and jargon to make my answer sound good. This can actually lead to the other person not understanding your exact point.
    Which is why you should stick to 'explaining' your point first and then trying to make it sound good. It does not matter if it does not come out as good as you wanted it to, if your point is actually good the other person will immediately agree and then you can use complicated words to make yourself sound articulate. Great video by the way!

    I tried the writing exercise today, with the topic ending up being "What Needs to be Memorised and What Doesn't in Education". My first draft went over 500 words, but when I came back to look through the five-paragraphed essay, what resonated with me the most was the first paragraph and the fourth. The rest felt like regurgitated material. On my second draft, I hit just under two hundred words, and I found myself loving through it. My best ideas, fluff and things that didn't resonate in me removed, condensed. I liked the substance it held.
    Discussing the same topic with a friend later, I found I could speak on it smoothly, and my points felt clear and concise. We had disagreements over a few of my ideas, and I changed my mind on some of them, but it was an incredibly productive conversation. I really enjoyed that, and felt a sense of fulfillment afterwards.

    Another thing I learned about being able to articulate yourself is knowing how to absorb knowledge properly. For example, every time you watch an informative video, don't jump straight to the next video. Give your brain some space to actually learn new information. You will be able to express yourself more clearly if your brain was given enough space and time to generate an opinion.

      ⁠@@ruiz1690”begging the question” is a logical fallacy that means “assuming ahead of time what you’re claiming to demonstrate”, like when I tell my kids “it’s time to go to bed, because it’s your bedtime.”
      It does NOT mean “raises/invites/prompts the question”, which is how it is often misused.

    If i took one thing away from this video, it would be that there is a technical approach to developing clear thinking, which then translate directly to our speech. It is a process we all have to deliberately develop for ourselves otherwise we find ourselves echoing the values and opinions of others on the media or even around us. Great video Joseph!

This is a great starting point to learn both about myself and more about the things I'm interested in. Thank you Joseph.

    I came here to improve my thinking because I’ve not been thinking at the level I want to at work.
    My one take away is that during meetings when I have an opinion I will write it down expand on it and then speak about it when appropriate. Writing it down first should help me make it into a clear thought.

How much i have limited my own thoughts, opinions to what is acceptable in society. This video really made me realize we all are unique thinkers & can have our own opinions, thoughts even if we are wrong we can learn and correct ourselves, by practicing to give output.

    I've been trying over the past few years to develop strong opinions on purpose. I began by listening to other people with strong opinions who could articulate them well. I've been stuck for a while in this place where I don't know who to listen to sometimes because everyone has an opinion and most of the opinions are strong and quite a few are articulate, however I can't ascribe to someone's opinion just because they can explain it articulately. However, your video brought to my attention that maybe I could develop opinions of my own by articulating my thoughts more . That was the missing piece, so thanks! I think I'll try it

  • @rachelle2227
    @rachelle2227 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    This is why I love reddit and comment on TH-cam videos… I love to articulate my thoughts and perspectives in written form. I find it the perfect way to practice wording my opinions. Complex topics don’t come up in person often enough, and it’s a great way to hone my opinions more than the times when I have conversations about different topics in person. Then when I have those conversations, they’re often reasonably well thought out. I don’t tend to be that concise though lol.
    It can also feel hard to feel comfortable to just think for a moment or converse deeply about subjects in person. It just isn’t natural in most everyday speech with most people.

    I think a book that delves into the topic of outputing your ideas in order to clarify your opinion is "Writing to learn" by William Zinsser. Despite not having read it yet the premise of the book aligns with the essence of this video. If we try to express our opinion more often then we will learn what works and what doesn't work and can apply this to our communication. The book will definitely one of my next reads. Thank you for this video!

    I think the reason many people face internal friction when it comes to writing is because they have expectations for themselves. They expect themselves to write fluently, logically and flawlessly.
    One recommendation I have for turning writing into a habit is by writing on random pieces of paper or digital notes and discard the writings afterwards, so there is no pressure to produce something that you will feel proud of when going back to read it.

  • @chlorophyll1209

    I like the imagery of the different topics coming together into being a model of your truths. It makes sense that if you don’t know your values that you don’t know what you believe in.

  • @ATAKESALL
    @ATAKESALL 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Yes curating an identity is critical to self expression. I don’t feel comfortable talking sometimes because I lack values to align judgment or opinion. Also the lack of experience makes you less interested within topics which can cause attachments to generic or popular ideas. When you are more engaged with something you are able to create beautifully smooth conversations that are unique. Having a expansive vocabulary amplifies that sentiment and will simplify complex thoughts.

    Source (whatever you wanna call it) has told me in the past; each time you write, and rewrite something. You get closer to the truth. You figure out whats accurate and not. You trim off the stuff that is not useful like trimming off fat off of a piece of meat.

    What's interesting in this video to me is the way he explains the concepts. I have a sense that probably I'd prefer digital visuals instead of sketches but I kind of like the sketches. It gives me the feeling that I'm chatting with a friend at a cafe or campus and he is explaining by drawing on the paper. Like it!

    • @lsusan
      @lsusan 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      What caught my attention right away was the colored pencil drawings. I’m finding that I need visual ways of thinking, processing, etc. I need to “see” it. To externalize what I am trying to grasp into some visual form. To translate the jumble of thoughts into something more concrete. Yesterday I watched a video on someone “divining” something using tarot cards (I’m not into this, but I was interested in the particular events this person was attempting to analyze.) Over time I could see that the visuals on the cards could suggest motives, explanations, etc. More so than just words,concepts themselves. This video is a sort of clue that needs to be figured out.

    I can feel I have developed ADHD in the last few years because of spending too much time on electronic devices.
    My mind can't focus on one thing anymore especially when I'm on my phone. Even watching this video I had scroll back several times cause my mind starts to think about something else.
    However one thing I have noticed is that that my mind constantly shifts thoughts to different aspects of my life which have uncertainty, dreams etc. It feels like mind is trying to conclude some sort of comfort by overthinking.

  • @filwut4698
    @filwut4698 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This was a great. During recent times i have been noticing how I face problems finding answers when asked an opinion-based question. Not becuase i don't know the answer but simply becuase there is this fog blocking me from finding it out, which often leads to a superficial answer that is on the surface level. As you brought up I think this has a strong correlation with the quantity of inputs we receive daily on social media of other peoples opinions. If you are not sure what your core values are as well as having thousands of other peoples opinions on the subject in the back of your mind, I think the two of them easily gets mixed up which results in your brain just handpicking an opinion which can sound good in the moment but is not grounded in yourself. It is scary to think about what the long-term consequenses are when making this thinking-process a pattern, During an extented period its making people just a reflection of others without having any self-recognition. This may even result in negative loop where people are spending more time consuming other peoples opinion, if you can't formulate your own thoughts and making that an internal belief you will simply always look for answers in others.
