  • Can you believe this skinny guy beat the world record for hot dog eating? Neither could I. It turns out using his brain, not his muscle (stomach) he became the world hot dog eating champion 6 times in a row. This is the incredible story of Takeru Kobayashi, also known as Kobi and how he used critical thinking and problem solving to beat unlikely odds.

    For years I used to have a lack of critical thinking myself. I used to believe many things which had little evidence or truth behind them. These beliefs led me to decisions which did not turn out to my favor. Eventually I discovered critical thinking and changed my life for the better. Now I choose what I believe in with much more care. Make better, more informed decisions and enjoy the results. Yet it doesn’t take much time to see that many people still fail to separate true information from false. That’s why I created the Practical Critical Thinkers channel.
    If you are looking for a critical thinking channel - look no more and let's create a culture of practical thinking together!

    Loving the new direction of your channel Rokas!

      Thanks Daryl! It means a lot for me to hear that. I haven't yet made an official announcement about the changes, since I decided to first make them and to have some videos to show as examples, so I was "silently" making the changes. I'm going to make an announcement soon, but hearing supportive words already is super awesome! 🙏

    Truly fascinating. It reminds somewhat of DevOps, which is a management philosophy in the IT field, a key aspect of which is finding bottlenecks in your “value streams”, basically the set and order of processes needed to deliver value to a customer, and instead of working around the until you “have more time”, you tackle them immediately

      Nice! I love that. There seems to be a whole series of awesome approaches in IT no? I was told that "fail early and faster" is a principle in IT too, where you test, fail and make adjustments early in the process where change is easier to make, vs later when it's much harder.
      I'll definitely look into the DevOps. Thanks!

    Didn’t realize this was Rokas’ channel because I was intrinsically interested in this topic.

      That's so cool! I've decided to make changes to this channel first, to create some examples of what I'm going to be making and to make an announcement later. I'm soon going to introduce this project to everyone, but already getting supportive words is really awesome! Glad you discovered it and liked it 🙂

    Brilliant video Rokas. Deserves way more views!

      Thank you Alex! I actually really love this video/story too and was a bit sad that it didn't get so many views 😁 Statistically whoever watches it, watched pretty much the whole thing! I just think potential viewers don't know what to expect in it and don't click on it 😊 I'll maybe try to promote it in a couple of places to see if it will pick up. Thanks for the encouragement! 👊

      @@Rokasleo Definately, maybe changing the thumbnail and focusing on how to smash a world record with critical thinking? Can't believe he doubled it. I must admit that was the hook, and his approach, not the fact he's small and eating a lot if that makes sense.

      Hmm... Great points. Thanks for the feedback, I'll think how to incorporate it

    Great story. This is more of problem solving instruction.
    From my job, can confirm the first step to come up a proper solution, is asking the right question.

    • @Rokasleo
      @Rokasleo  3 роки тому

      Thanks! I love this story too. I was juggling between referring to 'critical thinking' and 'problem solving' here and I think you are right, this is more problem solving. And also, great observation about the importance of asking the right question! That inspires me to dig deeper intro more problem solving too.

      You are welcome.
      If you need help (in real life example of wrong/right problem solving), let me know. I can give you a lot (maybe) without revealing exactly the issue (doing want to lose my job).

    omg the eating stones thing to expand his stomach got me, I think there is even a folk lore story with something like that, I may be wrong thou

    I'm enjoying this new direction in your work, Rokas. We need more voices out there advocating for rational self-improvement rather than the bunk that so many in the industry are peddling. This story makes me think of several advances in medicine that followed a similar pattern. Maybe the most interesting is the case of Barry Marshall, the physician who had to give himself an ulcer just to prove that he could cure it.
