The Rudest Book Ever Powerful Perspectives To Free Your Mind Pdf

[Verline]

Iwant to share this special message with you in the hope that it will help you on the days that are not going your way.Today was the absolute worst day ever

And don't try to convince me that

There's something good in every day

Because, when you take a closer look,

This world is a pretty evil place.

Even if

Some goodness does shine through once in a while

Satisfaction and happiness don't last.

And it's not true that

It's all in the mind and heart

Because

True happiness can be attained

Only if one's surroundings are good

It's not true that good exists

I'm sure you can agree that

The reality

Creates

My attitude

It's all beyond my control

And you'll never in a million years hear me say

Today was a very good day Now read it from bottom to top, the other way,And see what I really feel about my day.

Paddy Galloway or Hayden Hillier-Smith would probably lose their minds looking at my retention graph + the 2-minute cold intro. But, against all conventional "YouTube rules," this video has taken off. Why?

But, when cross-checked with the numerical data I have, it doesn't seem very convincing... and if anything, this feedback makes it even more confusing as a creator trying to better understand how my channel is doing.

What's the point of average view duration if videos are of different lengths? Does YouTube want creators to make videos of the same length? The down arrow on the first video for average view duration makes me feel bad about the video, but it has a higher average watch time than the videos with higher average view duration... which is more important? Average view duration seems like an irrelevant metric... But, if YouTube wants creators to make longer videos, then I think it has a subconscious effect that is definitely working

In the past 4 years, I don't think I've ever received so many heartfelt comments on a video. I often talk about using CPIs (community performance indicators) as a better way to measure the "success" of a video.

How many people sent you a dm (or even a letter!) after watching your video? How many people sent your video to a friend after watching it? How many people put a photo of them watching your video on their story and tagged you?

Creating a space where people want to open up, start a dialogue, and be vulnerable, is really special. Unfortunately, YouTube's comment section is designed in a way that feels dead (unlike Twitter where it feels like you're engaging in a real-time conversation).

To me, these comments, stories, and mini-essays highlight the strong touchpoints of emotional reliability, which seem to be the only factor that could explain this video's performance. But, what part of the YouTube back-end is displaying this as important or as a KPI in the video's success?

Evidently, the comments on this video are longer than usual and the sentiment in them is much more impactful. It would be cool to see YouTube give notes like "This video resonated with more of your audience, leading to more engagement, and more reach" -- it often feels like numbers only tell one small part of the story, and as someone trying to create meaningful content, it feels like all YouTube does is put you in a box.

Are the 40% of people who aren't watching after the first 30-seconds factored into the average percentage viewed? Why can't I separate watch time/retention between subscribers and non-subscribers Even further, why can't I separate watch time between people who've been subscribed for the past week v.s. month, 6-months, year, 2 years, etc... How am I able to distinguish the data between people I want to create for v.s. new viewers who don't know me yet?

There are so many improvements that could be made to the creator experience on YouTube. From the toxic _/10 system to the lack of tools to build community, it makes me question the future of creator culture on this platform.

There are easy explanations for many of the questions I've thrown out from a business perspective. But, if we take our heads out of the never-ending quarterly metric system and look towards the future we're trying to build, I think these conversations are more important than ever.

How does YouTube want to contribute to the future of humanity? At what point does it draw the line between ethics and profits? Will it ever choose to prioritize community and positive sentiment over short-term profit? How do the metrics chosen to show creators effect the content created on the platform? What effect does this metric-driven content have on humans, kids, teens, and adults?

If you've read all the way through my first article, thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to absorb my ideas! They are fresh, not fully thought through, but nonetheless, they're better out in the world than in my head.

Maarten Boudry is a philosopher of science and current holder of the Etienne Vermeersch Chair of Critical Thinking at Ghent University. His most recent book is Science Unlimited? On the Challenges of Scientism, co-edited with Massimo Pigliucci. He published more than 40 papers in academic journals, and several popular books in Dutch on critical thinking, illusions, and moral progress.

The piece is well written and commendable as a social commentary of the latest moral trends especially on social media. However, it could benefit from a more logically watertight argument, especially in the Contra Moral Relativism argument in para.4

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is considered as part of customary international law, thus universally obligatory, erga omnes.

The Declaration itself already contains antidotes against fundamentalism by recognising the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, the right to freedom of opinion and expression, and the right to take part in government through periodic and genuine elections. Therefore all these rights guarantee the existence of different personal and cultural views, provided that those views do not violate the universal rights contained in the Declaration of course, which are simply inherent to all human beings.

In sum, we can say that the UDHR protects cultural rights and cultural diversity, and at the same time it is against cultural relativism which denies the existance of universal human rights.

This is an interesting short article about the UDHR, cultural diversity and relativism. -c-chang-and-the-universal-declaration-of-human-rights/

As I read the piece my Catholic upbringing continually came to mind, so it was intriguing to reach the end and discover the writer is a philosopher of science and chair of a critical thinking department. I really enjoy such overlaps.

He held his breath on the final step, and the panic drove him to near unconsciousness. His vision blurred at the edges, closing to a single pinpoint of light, and then . . . he floated. The all-consuming celestial blue of the horizon hit his visual field an instant after he realized that the thermal updraft had caught him and the wings of the paraglider. Fear was behind him on the mountaintop, and thousands of feet above the resplendent green rain forest and pristine white beaches of Copacabana, Hans Keeling had seen the light.

On the other hand, he did know what bored him to tears, and he was done with it. No more passing days as the living dead, no more dinners where his colleagues compared cars, riding on the sugar high of a new BMW purchase until someone bought a more expensive Mercedes. It was over.

More than a year later, he was still getting unsolicited job offers from law firms, but by then had started Nexus Surf,5 a premier surf adventure company based in the tropical paradise of Florianopolis, Brazil. He had met his dream girl, a Carioca with caramel-colored skin named Tatiana, and spent most of his time relaxing under palm trees or treating clients to the best times of their lives.

To do or not to do? To try or not to try? Most people will vote no, whether they consider themselves brave or not. Uncertainty and the prospect of failure can be very scary noises in the shadows. Most people will choose unhappiness over uncertainty.

I had started my own company, only to realize it would be nearly impossible to sell. This turned out to be yet another self-imposed limitation and false construct. (BrainQUICKEN was acquired by a private equity firm in 2009.)

This all equated to a significant realization: There was practically no risk, only huge life-changing upside potential, and I could resume my previous course without any more effort than I was already putting forth.

That is when I made the decision to take the trip and bought a one-way ticket to Europe. I started planning my adventures and eliminating my physical and psychological baggage. None of my disasters came to pass, and my life has been a near fairy tale since. The business did better than ever, and I practically forgot about it as it financed my travels around the world in style for 15 months.

Most who avoid quitting their jobs entertain the thought that their course will improve with time or increases in income. This seems valid and is a tempting hallucination when a job is boring or uninspiring instead of pure hell. Pure hell forces action, but anything less can be endured with enough clever rationalization.
