A smart person learns from their mistakes.
A wise person learns from other people's mistakes.
[A fool doesn't learn from anyone's mistakes.]
A charismatic person convinces people that someone else made his mistakes instead, a dexterous person wriggles out of their mistakes, but what about STR and CON?
@@TheiaofMeridor I see that you are well versed in the ways of AD&D 😉😆
Good one😊
@@TheiaofMeridor constitution I think would fall under the "if you're going to be dumb, you better be tough" category. You don't learn, but you can take the punishment.
Strength would be either not realizing you even made a mistake (aka how every barbarian plays their character) or desperately trying to fix your mistake by force and inevitably making things worse (also how every barbarian plays their character)😄
@TheiaofMeridor Strong party member voluntarily takes the beating for others mistakes. High constitution party member can make a lot of high cost mistakes with minimal consequence.
I teach weaving, and tell my students that they need to learn from everyone else’s mistakes, since they can’t make ALL of the mistakes themselves. So anyone’s problem in class gets a shout of “learning opportunity!” And everyone gathers ‘round to learn how to fix it.
Everybody learns from mistakes. Smart people learn from other people's mistakes. ;)
That sounds like a good class.
This is such good culture to create
My two favorite sayings about mistakes:
“Learn from the mistakes of others, because life is too short to make them all yourself”
And
“Let’s learn from our mistakes so that we can move on to make new mistakes to learn from”
There are three (3) types of people in the world:
1. The dumb ones,
Do not learn
From their
Mistakes.
2. The smart ones
Learn from
Their mistakes
3. The wise ones,
That learn
From the
Mistakes of
The idiots.

I just found out the technical term for “scaring the living 💩 out of you” is “stress inoculation.”
You know that you've succeeded when the person you are inoculating yells back. Our immune system is a wonderful thing and needs constant exercise.
Lol ❤
😊
Stress indoctrination is a thing. Another thing they do in boot camp, at least in Navy boot camp is jam you all together when standing in line. And you’re in line a lot. To eat, to enter a classroom, go to bathroom ect…
They used the term “nut to butt” meaning when in line you are in full bodily contact with the guy in front and behind you. That breaks down your personal space to a minimum. Very useful when living in tight quarters with 60 other people. Surprising how fast you get used to it.
Beau is an educator. The internet is full of people who rant but that's not what this guy is about. He teaches critical thinking skills. That's his jam. If you don't get that, maybe shut up and listen to him for a bit.
💯💯💯
Amen to that
Why else would a thinking person subscribe? Maga obviously exempt.
Yes 💯 💯
What
A Drill Instructor is a Marine and a Drill Sergeant is Army; two very different individuals! But as a Marine who was a Drill Instructor I can tell you, this was brilliantly broken down
Forgot the Navy :-)
@@hamburger--fries They only exist to chauffeur the Marines. lol.
How are they different?
@@antonnurwald5700 Some if it comes from the two branches have two different missions, so the training and purpose of the training is different, but a lot of it is just tradition. Drill instructors tend to be referred to by trainees as "sir" and "ma'am"; Drill Sergeants are addressed by their rank and station, which is "Drill Sergeant" or sometimes "Senior Drill Sergeant." The latter mirrors how the Army forms of address work: lower enlisted are addressed by last name, NCOs are addressed by rank (Corporal - Command Sergeant Major), warrant officers are addressed as "mister" "miss" "mis" "sir" or "ma'am", officers are addressed as "sir" or "ma'am." It's mostly stuff like that, if we're being honest.
Don't get me wrong, each branch will talk about how ours are the best and clearly superior to others in some meaningful way, but they serve the same general purpose: take civilians and turn them into service members, both physically and psychologically. They're generally really well trained, at least they have been since the end of the draft, and you'd be surprised how much work, study, and science goes into both their training and the training techniques they're taught. The military is under no illusion as to how severe the transition from civilian to service member is, and they know it has to be done on a deep psychological level to stick, so they fine tune a lot more than people realize.
For Instance: When I enlisted in 2012, the Shark Attack was literally the first few moments after all the paperwork was done. You get on a bus, get taken to your training company, and boom, shark attack. However, in 2020 the Shark Attack was effectively removed from the formal training schedule, replaced with different forms of team building exercises. Turns out the Shark Attack, as designed, worked really well when we had to get conscripts capable of fighting, but not super great when it came to preparing the all-volunteer force we've had for decades now; what we thought it did, other things do better, at least according to the eggheads and brass. They're always trying to improve the safety and efficacy of initial entry training.

All in good fun. I think our Navy/Marine Corps team is one of the most capable combat forces in the world and I am glad to be part of it.
Most people arent as good at research as they think they are. Beau explaining how to check the details of a story is a boon. Take advantage of information is freely given.
Agreed. Media literacy is lacking as a whole
My dad was a drill instructor, a Sergeant. Being raised by him made me realize the military was not for me. 🤣

@@one2112- I was a kid, who learned I could not be a kid. Nothing was good enough, everything was our fault. Cleaning got the white glove treatment, literally, dishes (manual) had to be perfect or they all had to be done over. At about 9 I gave up and made it my mission to just avoid dad whenever and however possible. LOL!
My dad was a Marine DI. He and mom weren't strict disciplinarians, but dad knew how to use his Marine training to keep his kids in line and the reputation at work as someone not to fuck with.
Repent. Believe in Jesus Christ for salvation. Become a new person in this life.
John 3:16 KJV For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Matthew 4:17 KJV From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV - Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Yeah, I was yelled at during most of my waking moments when I was at home growing up…when I went to work offshore, even the guys who had been in the military, (most had) took note of how this “little girl” was unfazed by being yelled at by anyone, anywhere, for any reason.
When asked how I managed to do that, I said, “I just listen to what they are saying, not the way they say it. That way, I can determine whether I need to act or call someone on their BS.”
This channel is my breakfast, lunch, dinner, and midnight snack.
What about Second breakfast? Elevensies???
...
Ikr?! I enjoy being informed and learning without fear mongering and name calling 😊
@@christopherjohns1566 What are you, my cats?
@@Dexter_795 it’s a reference to the hobbit books.
@@erinfedotov3559 I know... I'm also pretty sure my cats watched the movies...😀
Repetition! I remember way back when Hillary was running, the media covered Bengazi on an endless loop, debunked it once or twice, then defended themselves by saying they had covered both sides. Repetition is our media diet. It’s not just for breakfast anymore.
I once had a teacher emphasize the importance of us asking questions. The reasoning behind this was because if one of use had the question, chances are that others do as well. Always stuck with me.
100%
Especially those afraid to ask questions due to shyness or not wanting to look stupid or not even knowing the question to ask.
Good teachers are a gift.
You absolutely never know when you're going to learn something. I watch some random stuff and occasionally come across a gem. Sometimes I can share that wisdom again in another place
As someone who knows how to fact-check, I find it helpful to get an occasional refresher. Keeps me on my toes, learn a new technique or resource, keeps me from getting lazy. Beau as a drill instructor checks out!!
first thing I thought, Beau is our non-hostile drill instructor :)
Yelling never bothered me. It was when my parents sat me down and were calm and quiet that I knew I messed up.
You know it!! Mine, too!💯
😬
Amen
The lecture of doom. I remember it well
My drill Sargent told me when I asked why they yell so much “we yell during peace times so we can whisper during war times.” That made sense to me.
Hey brother, from a guy who's had multiple brown rounds tapping my forehead as I received an ass chewing for doing something dumb as a 17 yr old recruit, i appreciate your style of dissemination of information and commitment to the truth. Drive on my friend.
Ask a teacher how many times they need to give instructions on the exact same thing. You can ask a teacher at ANY level, kindergarten through college and they will probably all have a very similar answer.
I had a teacher in middle school hand out a 6 question pop quiz. At the top it said “read all instructions before beginning”. The teacher gave that verbal command before handing out the quiz. You were also required to write in ink.
The last question, which i can not remember how it was worded basically asked something while also stating ….. as the instructions stated, if you answered any question on this quiz you fail.
This was before erasable ink and I failed the quiz. She didn’t actually record the grade but we alllll learned something that day.
It's like Jesus said (or was it Terry Pratchett?)
'Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.'
You're a great teacher Beau.
1st, it is SIR Terry Pratchett.
@@patrickborunda4749 Sorry. Let me correct my other mistake "Sir Jesus of Nazareth"
An instructor told us near the end of boot camp about them being constantly on us, about bunks being made properly and our gear being in order, ect, ect. It was a way to instill an attention to detail. "When you get out to fleet you will be working on aircraft, equipment or ordinance, where people's lives are on the line in some way. Every crew member paying close attention to the job they're doing is of absolute importance."
You don't yell, you correct. I respond better to being corrected than yelled at. Also, an emotional reaction to a piece of information can cause even the most rational person to speak/post before fact-checking. It's a good reminder for everyone
👍 Yep… I don’t watch Beau to “learn” stuff… I DO, but I watch to learn how to debate a topic… When I get into a situation that I don’t know how to debate, I send him an email…
I watch Beau's videos because I'm not very smart. I was never taught critical thinking and I'm quit to anger. I need his insight and explanations to learn how to digest any news flashs.
Never been taught how to think critically is different than not smart, for what it's worth. It's great you're wanting to learn though. I am on the same path.
I’m not super smart but when I learned critical thinking in a academic setting it was like learning I had a super power. It altered the trajectory of my entire life. We should be teaching critical thinking starting in kindergarten.
Only smart people think they’re not smart. ❤
@@dudebro7698 I really wish our school system (USA) would! And also teach children at least one foreign language. When I was in 4th grade, there was a big deal with Japan. We spent 30 minutes every morning learning basic words/phrases and how to write kanji. It only lasted a few months; I wish it had been a regular thing. I'd probably have been fluent by the time I was out of high school, if not before.
Unfortunately, most of our schools seem to be much more about memorization and regurgitation than anything else.
@@Tashishi0 yeah .. "life skills" my behind. 🙄 Not one check book, not one credit/debt course, no critical thinking, media deconstruction, or class on health as an ongoing life project to maintain.
*edit
Not to mention communication, relationship navigating, emotional management resources, and flags of toxic partners.
People who have older siblings have all the opportunity in the world to learn from the mistakes of others.
I used to only watch your videos when the title was something I wanted to hear about. A couple years ago I watched a hurricane video because I had time & was bored. I got a different perspective. So I watched a few others that I normally wouldn't & realized that I always learn something or see it from a different view point. Now I never miss a video. I frequently send some to my daughter.
I remember, about week 4 of basic training, the yelling stopped bothering most of us. We were in automatic mode. We knew what to do every day.
Grandad said, "Learn from the mistakes of other people, because you do not have time to make them all yourself."
It's not called yelling... it is: "asserting one's command authority"
"Respect my authoritah!" - Eric Cartman
Yes, by yelling
People who don't like authority call that "yelling".
sure, right, gotcha ...
Lee Marvin loving it. He even took a dirty dozen and turned them in war heroes 👍 My son and I just watched it.🙂
I just told a woman, yesterday, over on IG, that the reason I bother responding to people who are definitely not listening or are just trolling, is not because I'm actually trying to get through *to them*, I'm leaving information there to be read by everyone else because they are more likely to understand the message and take in that information as theirs now. People are taught in schools and at home that making mistakes is *bad*, being wrong is *bad*...and being so young, they take that criticism to heart and what develops is the belief that, if they're wrong, *THEY* are "bad". So, as an adult, they will resist anything that makes them appear to be wrong. So much so, that in many cases, even giving them solid proof won't get through. Its called cognitive dissonance. It's literally emotionally painful and scary to the Ego to think itself as bad. So it will put up a wall and completely reject what you're saying.
However, when reading a conversation with someone else, the threat of appearing wrong is removed. Therefore there's less resistance and the information has a better chance of being understood and accepted.
Good thinking.
And also an excuse for some of my posting.
@@Jay-lw5vqyup. just keep planting seeds. Never let them get ya mad. Just state the facts without being vitriolic. It'll sink in eventually.
That repetition is necessary. Misinformation travels so much faster than factual information. It's designed to do so. So you need to constantly debunk old stuff as well as new.
There is an old saying. Attributed to various famous people like Mark Twain and Churchill.
'A lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on.'
Beau is making sure that those are combat-boots meant for kicking.
Howdy folks! I hope everyone has had a great day!! 👋 ✌️
Hi, RossHargett8019! Yes, I did have a great day, thanks for asking. How was yours?
You also Ross.
I was an instructor in an NCO Academy. We used all those except the yelling. We didn't need to yell, their promotions were on the line.
Yes. And anyone prone to foul up badly enough to get yelled at during NCO Academy, wouldn't likely have gotten recommended for promotion in the first place.
I personally never heard a raised voice during NCO Academy (or for that matter--in any other part of PME--after completing BMT and tech school).
Must be an army thing. No such thing exists for Marines.
@@SaberToothBicycle Yep, demerits and passing exams to include navigation, leadership, D&C, etc.
@@BD-uw1kq Yep, Army.
Sometimes the other recruits are just trying their damnedest to not bust out laughing. My son shared this from boot camp: “DO YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT! SAY IT! DO YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT!” “Do you want fries with that, sir.” GOOD, CUZ THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE GONNA BE SAYING FOR THE REST OF YOUR DAMN LIFE!!!” Recruits at attention eating their bottom lips to keep from losing it. But the message was received, loud and clear by all in attendance!
An instructor was yelling at us about dust under the bunks. He used a term I'd never heard before; "There's a whole lot of ghost turds under these bunks!" I let a laugh slip out. Did some push ups..
@@stratostatic Oh, I have one worse - I was getting chewed out for some random s**t in formation - I think one of my bootlaces had worked it's way out from being tucked into the boot - and I had the random thought of "This guy sounds like dad." Apparently my lips quirked. And then I had to tell the senior drill sergeant that he reminded me of my dad (I knew I was going to be doing push ups no matter what I answered, so I was truthful.) The worse part was when I told him that he didn't hold a candle to my father... Then I had company doing push ups because no one else could keep from laughing.
Former DI here, don't expect me to feel bad in my retirement. I still think one man rewarded by my special kindness, saves a lot of unintentional love in the future.
Glad to have you in my life.....even if you don't know it!
Same! Beau is a national treasure!!💗
My dad was an Air Force pilot that missed his calling as a Marine Corps DI. It does inoculate you much to the dismay of many bullies I have met through my life.
Marine Veteran here, I’d also like to add that one motto the Drill Instructors instilled in us is “slow is smooth, smooth is fast”. Essentially, if you’re excited or panicked you will make more mistakes in a rush than if you’re calm and methodical. The same applies to information gathering and dissemination. Taking time to verify sources and credibility saves you more time and energy than just blasting sensational stories and having to justify your findings after the fact.
If only most media sites would return to understanding that. When there were only 3 TV channels, that hosted professional news reporting twice a day (6 and 11), you didn't get the silliness that is now supposed to pass as news.
I really like that phrase. And it's very true.
Sage advice for ones entire life!!💯
"Slow down, we're in a hurry."
The actual quote is, "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast, speed is the economy of motion." But yeah.
Odds are they'll never see this, but shout out to DS Bodenstein, DS Burns, DS Brown and Senior DS Bolin for your leadership, guidance and dedication all those years ago. You all have inspired and impacted me in ways that I carry with me throughout my life. You're all a positive part of my story. Plus thanks for teaching us the most interesting curse and close-to-cursing phrases. I still say "that looks like hammered dogs--t" to this day 😊
😂😂😂😅😅😅😊😊😊 I will DEFINITELY remember that one!! As long as it doesn't STINK that way!! Your DS's were right on the money!
I came into army basic with immunity to the shark attack. I was thinking, _'Oh, they can only yell at me? This won't be so bad.'_
Technically they can use force when appropriate, such as breaking up a fight between soldiers. I’ve seen privates literally get thrown for a loop. Granted, that was 20 years ago. But yeah, unless you do something really stupid, they can’t touch you.
@@christophercastaneda9714 I'd been through abuse and torture as a kid, so anything short of a mock execution meant the day was lookin' up.
Granted, I knew not to push it that far, however other guys didn't. Every now and thing we get wind of someone being walked around to the back of a building with a drill sergeant. The DS would take off his campaign hat, belt, and ranks and then say, "Now it's man to man. Anything you want to get out of the way right here?"
Needless to say the two would walk back with the recruit looking awfully humble.
Yep. Me and my brother both thought it all looked and sounded like a charades game, wasn't anything like what home life had been. It was funny when other guys would take any of it personal, when it was so obvious they were just trying to get a reaction.

Tell em what you are going to tell them, tell em, tell em what you told em, beau's lesson on how to get it in our heads
Beau: “… but not everyone watches every video.”
Me: *looks around in confusion* “Really? There are people who watch regularly who HAVEN’T graduated to every Beau video status? Weird…”
I absolutely need your videos. I'm so thankful you do this. Guess I'm not one of the smart ones. 🤷🏽♀️
Me, too!
Nah, you ARE one of the "smart ones". You are smart enough to know you have things you do not, actually, know but maybe SHOULD.
THAT, my friend, is SMART 🤩
Don't put yourself down like that. You're smart enough to know you need his videos. That's a really good start. We all do and we're grateful for them!
If you understood the meaning of the video, you'll be fine.
The "smart ones" get there by learning.
No, you really are one of the smart ones. You know there are things you don't know and want to learn, and you find ways to learn them. The not-smart ones don't go looking for things to learn. Keep feeding that hungry mind!
First hand experience is the worst teacher because it always gives the test before explaining the lesson. Getting to learn something by addressing it with someone that is experienced and knows how to do it gives both the best chance at a successful outcome and a memorable lesson.
I had a professor who was fond of saying "Repetition is the heart of education". He said it so often I've never forgotten it. Thank you Dr. Hausladen, and thank you, Beau!
Beau is basically saving the world one video at a time. Calm. Measured. Reason.
Thankyou Beau. I retired form the miltary and have had friends that were drill instructers from the Army Navy and Air Force. Plus I was stationed at a training base. They all explained one thing in common. You only have a limited time to get someone through, so you can't be wasting time by holding there hand through the process. You have so many weeks to be able to go out there when you are done with basic, and do what you are required to do- be able to handle simple directions and follow through. The sad thing is with fact checking, so many have comfirmation bias. It could be the most outrageous bilge, but if it fits there narative that is good enough for them. Plus, I swerr I know a lot of people who seem like they are incapable of thinking critically.
Sometimes people (adults and children alike) have to be told that it is even a thing and how to even begin to do it (like…. WHO made the documentary? WHAT was their goal). To some it is intuitive im sure but it wasnt to me in my youth in the 70’s.
The thing about drill instructors is that the longer you're in basic, the less yelling they have to do. Such that when they do yell at someone, we all knew he really screwed up. Also, there are things they say loudly over and over because repetition becomes memory. By week 4, we all knew how to march, but they counted cadence anyway even though we didn't need it.
In my case it was *almost* all of us knew how to march by then. The day we were to parade and supposed to actually look like we knew what we were doing, our DS put the screw ups on KP so that they wouldn’t be in formation. And no, I wasn’t in the kitchen! 😂
Thank you, Beau, for all you do, my dude. You're exactly what we all should strive to be. Personally, im glad its you.
I'm more than grateful that Beau is here to share all manner of valuable knowledge, so I store his links on topics that I'd want as reminders. I look forward to, and watch every posting. Thanks, Beau!
Gomer Pyle getting a mention dropped was not on my bingo card this week
Oh, Beau is going Hartmann in this one 😅
Btw, loved the point about stress inocculation, I'd never thought of that as one of the reasons, but it makes a certain sense to me.
Beau is the best teacher I have ever had. I have learned so much from him.
Beau, you possess the patience of a saint. Thank you for all you do.
Teaching remains under appreciated. And this channel is something like a mentorship. Thank you Beau
"...you've probably heard how to use tineye about a dozen times by now..."
No, Beau, that one time you mentioned tineye is the only time I've heard of tineye. You definitely need to make sure you mention that one from time to time, if for no other reason than to make sure us old folks hear about it.
I agree!!
And also to spell the name of the site because we don't all sound like Beau 😂
My goodness, how true you are. I was in the Marine corp from 69 to 74, so it was serious. I went into the marine corp for car theft.. my drill instructors took turns confronting me. When we graduated boot camp, they gave me private first class,, my drill instructors whom I thought hated me promoted me out of boot.
I never come away from Beau's videos without having learned something new.
Man I wish I could have done this when I did tech support.
😏👍
You could have...
If you didn't mind that long talk with HR.
😂 indeed! Sometimes the repetition thing does work, but only sometimes. 😏
When I went through AIT a second time, I was already a sergeant. I was getting yelled at by a drill sergeant for refusing to commit the soldiers they charged me with, with a detail that the DS should’ve taken care of on their own.
Anyway, the DS that yelled at me had a heavy accent, so he got flustered when I wasn’t understanding what he was trying to tell me. I eventually put my hand up to shut him up, stepped out of formation and asked another drill why I was being belittled.
The technique requires some finesse. The screaming has to come in clear and concise or it loses all its effectiveness.
Beau, what you do can not be replicated that easily. I appreciate your style and the thought you put into your videos.
I try to watch every video! Always great information! Thank you
No matter what I think on a subject you always add so much more to it! You and your staff's education is priceless. 🙏
I would like to believe my dedicated commitment to watching this channel daily is a healthy exercise in relearning and boosting my critical thinking skills and understanding how to sift through the media maze. Thanks, Beau.
Bob ross hated yelling at people. He did his paintings in a soothing voice.
Bob ross was a drill Sargeant.
His message did get across.
Everyone can use a reminder… and new links is good for all of us who care.
Give a student the answers to the test questions, you help him pass an exam, show the student how to seek out the relevant knowledge for themselves, you create a lifetime learner.
When I went to basic I was the only recruit in my unit for a week before anyone else arrived !!! I had 3 DI's in my face at the same time every day and night !!!
Was asked if I liked what was happening? No Drill Sergeant! Then why are you smiling ? Because it's your job to get me squared away so when the time comes, I will stay alive & keep the guy next to me alive, and I appreciate that, Drill Sergeant !!! I ended up being trainee of the cycle, and that week was the reason , having the most intense training that could have been !!! Basic was the most fun I had in the service & wished my permanent party assignment was just as eventful !!! It made me an adrenaline junky !!!
I've worked with a number of journeymen during my apprenticeship; a lot of them would put drill sergeants to shame.
I found myself mimicking their mannerisms, irritations, and attitudes.
It works.
Remember sitting in class and having a question and being afraid to ask it because you thought it would be dumb? Then you were so thankful when somebody else did? Yeah, that's it.
Once again, Beau keepin' it classy. Justin would be proud.
It doesn't hurt to repeat the instruction because sometimes people need to realize that a technique is not a one-off-use technique. How it can be used for many different things. Sometimes seeing the slightly different methods is helpful, too.
My High School English teacher used to say, “Repetition is the soul of learning”. 😂
I'm a music educator, and I heartily support this comment.
It's how we learn things like the times table. 2 times 2 is 4, etc.. Not really working it out but just by repetition so you don't have to think about it.
Thanks Beau, at my age I find that I don't do much investigation on all that goes on in the world and at home. I look forward to your thoughts.
Marine Vet here. One of the biggest reasons for yelling (whether as a DI or communicating in a high stress environment) is to be heard at a distance or over other noise. Beau is spot on.
Every video. Never miss one since I found you 3 days before Russia crossed the Ukrainian border.
...plus a lot will not even look at the email. i like the way you come across and yes, i am learning a lot from you and others. thank you and please , keep explaining
We all need reminders. Thank you.

Beau always is the diplomatic gentleman who speaks plainly but intelligently about important national and world issues. He is an erudite treasure and I truly try not to miss an opportunity to hear his views. Keep doing you, Beau!
I remember both of my Drill Instructors fondly. Thanks again SFC Ferrell and SGT Hawkins, it’s been more than 30 years and you were formative. I’ve never forgotten you.
I would say that Beau's mockery tends to be aimed at people who are purposely antagonistic and needlessly aggressive in their wording. They're not really looking for an answer, they're just trying to "score points" by thinking they're presenting information that will "totally own him."
Let's also keep in mind that if Beau answered every single badly fact checked email he receives by trying to teach critical thinking skills individually, that's probably all he would ever have time to do.
A true fifth column.
This guy is just an awesome human being. Patient , non judgemental, honest with a dead pan sense of humor, he can convey heavier concepts in simple terms, correct people without embarrassing them and really help,in a positive way, to influence thought. Hope your ministry continue right were it is ( you don't need to run for office or do politics) and it's always a joy to get your take on things, thank you. And you just seem to be an overall nice guy to boot.
Howdy internet people! Have a good day!

Such a wise man! and yes, I watch all Beau's videos.
'It's easier to fool a man than convince him he's been fooled.'
Always believe in the FACT THAT they'll be Beau!
I always thought it was to condition the fight/flight/freeze reaction that occurs under stress and duration to respond with fight. The others are dangerous in combat.
I work with young adults. I've never wondered why DIs yell. lol.
I thought I knew how to fact check but Beau taught me something new in that video as well as affirmed what I already knew. I def appreciated and benefited from that lesson!!!
Yay Beau
