If I'm wrong about being wrong, am I right?

I wish I never put a cigarette In my mouth before .

@Leo GuraI don't like the title of this thread. Please change it to I was wrong. Nothing in the title states you were wrong about anything, but half your video was about how you were wrong. At least make it We are all wrong.

Yea right, I'll see the day that happens. Anyway, thanks for the video.

I was wrong not admitting that I am whole, complete & powerful already.

The shift you’ve made personally over the past year has been really noticeable. The tone, the authenticity and general maturity stands out to me a lot in the newer videos. Just wanted to reflect that and say thank you for making those changes and setting an example for us.

Pointing out people’s wrongs is a trap, now admit you’re wrong and delete it.

@Leo Gura Your reflections on your style of communication made me think of an analogy I made up.

In Dune by Frank Herbert, everyone has shields that cover the whole body. Their main mechanic is that they can only be penetrated by a slowly moving object. If you shoot or punch it too hard, it will act like non-newtonian fluid, and stop the attack. So in this universe military is back to blades and soldiers are trained in a dedicated martial art focused on slow attacks (for penetration) and fast defense (for deflection).

Human discussions have this dynamic. They are this quirky dance in which you can't force anything if you care to have a deep impact.
This analogy got my stubborn father to see that he was wrong for drastic examples for discussing sensitive topics.
Like comparing all left-leaning ideas to communists. Or overusing reductio ad absurdum argument.
And when called out, he would get self-righteous and defensive.
He would immediately activate his shield...

This analogy was my slow blade

Is it just me or has the word "like" been used too many times in this one? Perhaps a consequence of speaking more about personal experiences than abstract topics. Anyway, fantastic video as usual.

It was a good video but I was honestly expecting more specific ways he was wrong about his metaphysical answers such as free will, solipsism, and God.

   I think I found a great example of someone who isn't self aware, sucks in one field yet persist as best he could, caved in by internet and online toxicity, and then realized at the end it's his fault. Although I don't know if he did benefit for admitting how wrong he when he quit comedy and YT:

The video was brilliant!

Man, I love you even if you don't care. Your self-awareness is outstanding.

Yes, I finally realized this. A much more tactful and diplomatic approach is required to actually get people to change their minds. It's like reserve psychology, the more you corner them like a rat, the less effective it is. Because you're dealing with an ego.

This is why non-violent communication is critical.

I am making changes to my communication in order for it to be more effective at actually creating change in people, rather than just me proving myself right.

This is why diplomats are so care in how they speak. They can't just blurt stuff out or it causes defensiveness and chaos.

Yeah, that's right. I wasn't happy with that but the personal examples were harder for me to talk about calmly.
