- Insights from the Book "The Laws Of Human Nature" written by Robert Grenee.
We are social animals. Our very lives depend on our relationships with people. Knowing why people do what they do is the most important tool we can possess, without which our other talents can only take us so far.
Drawing from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control, how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose. Whether at work, in relationships, or in shaping the world around you, The Laws of Human Nature offers brilliant tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defense.
I like how Joshua Graham TH-camrs make him give fanciful advice but in the game he struggles with sin and revenge, much so to the point where you must pass the fifth hardest speech check in the game to instill forgiveness within him for salt apon wounds, and not take yet another life.
Maybe this takes place afterwards.
I love imagining myself sitting in that cave and listening to Joshua Graham talk while I help him fix those automatic .45’s
perfect explanation during the firtst few minutes about society's conflicts within subjectivity and how internal struggle impacts winds flowing through us; seeing yourself in people must be together in order to overcome emotion when conflicted with destruction as a resolve.
very on point further on as well.
Ah the work of Robert Greene 😊
Glad to see you posting. TH-cam seems to have stopped giving me notifications about your new videos. Keep on keeping on :)
keep up the channel its really good.
That’s gold. Not silver, gold.
Being rational and logical is one way of seeing the world, but it is not the complete picture. Language also has an influence on our perspective of the world that is not entirely accurate either. In the English language, we have almost no words that meld emotions together in the way they actually work in real life; happiness that makes you cry, because something is so beautiful and also so touching that you become overtaken by joy and sadness and happiness (and sometimes grief) all at once. The closest we could come was “bittersweet,” but that’s not an emotion - it’s a flavour.
Just how english valances emotions, it valances how we see the world, and we forget the multiple dimensions humans work within for the regimental and soldier like dichotomy of language.
Frankly, I do not think anything can be called rational or logical through good reasoning and the strict adherence to validity alone. It has to be tested in the real world and how it reacts to the world, humans included, otherwise you will begin to think logical coherence and validity are superior to reality, which is more common a phenomenon than people think.
Edit: The word I was looking for all this time was: empiricism. It's a different way of deriving knowledge through experience, experimentation, and testing as opposed to reason and logic, which believe knowledge can be derived from reason alone. A classic case of the latter being proven wrong was done by Galileo in his Leaning Tower of Piza experiment: he recognized that in a vacuum, all falling objects would accelerate at the same rate regardless of their size, shape, or mass. At the time, for 2,500 years, it was assumed, through reason alone, that objects of different mass, shape, and size would fall at different rates. Galileo proved this wrong.
Reason alone will not give you access to knowledge to be reliable. You've got to test it to see if it works or holds up. There's a reason that rationally planned economies and societies like China and the Soviet Union failed, they relied on reason alone and on flawed assumptions: that human nature was malleable and they planned their whole societies and economies on this frail, unscientific, conclusion.
thank you for the video but there is a duplicate paragraph at the end :D
you meant repeated?
@@abysmoflifeI'm gonna mod that mother fucker until I can teleport him to big MT autodoc and grow his skin back.
Then he can go out and monolog for me to move the natives to my smart cities.

“We should hide our insecurities?” Tf? No you should embrace your insecurities and try and better yourself.
I interpret it as "hide your insecurities from people, so they don't know your weakness"
@@envfynestt9132 overcome your weaknesses and you won’t have to hide anything.
I think he means hide your insecurities in the way you act. I agree.
Lost me at climate change.
Even if you dont believe in it completely do you lot never really consider the importance of taking care of the enviroment. Politics aside, the very essence of climate change should be to be conciously aware of how we are unique in the way we shape the world and the conseqences there of.
Why repeat urself
