Alan Alda is so eloquent in his communication, so personal, and so caring that I feel like he’s treating me like a good friend of his. And that makes me want to listen to e dry word.
This was brilliant. I unconsciously started using this technique about a year ago and it has helped so much when I finally realize it. Not a lot of people can comprehend what linguistics mean when it comes to communication. Every word can and has a profound effect.
Alan is a true treasure. His insights over the years have shaped the person I am, and want to be. The other thing people need to learn to do is listen and understand before they react. I'm tired of people getting up in arms about the 'PC police' and all, and think that people need to be called out on bullshit and bullying behaviour, but equally wish that people would take a breath to try and understand things before they react, and ask for clarification on the words they used.
Brilliant, true compassion its really what the world needs. Alan Alda, a beautiful man with insight, seeing things for what they really are and moving past the ego to true communion. Thank you for posting this.
Alan Alda is awesome.. I've seen so much of him starting from childhood with my dad watching reruns of MASH all the way to his role on Louis CK's newer show, and he's always been awesome. Very glad to see him featured here: and it doesn't disappoint, his insights are on point and very insightful..
“Real effective communication isn’t because I have something perfect to say to you, but because you can understand and internalize what I say to make it your own”
I enjoyed listening to your insights, specifically on the value of jargon (if polished). I see that connection in children's stories, including mine! And this is experienced and felt when we, as authors, set to read our stories aloud -for our young readers! During these combinations, I realize the effectiveness of the jargon on kids' as it seems to give them a margin to sink in as they internalize the story and find/discuss their preferred narrative (or ask questions).
The skill that he was talking about is one of important skills which can improve not only the connection with people but even our own selves. In another word, it's kind of self-improvement due to that it has a special communication way with the person who you're communicating with. also, I believe this skill can show a grate improving movement in the society
alan alda is one of the best actors of all time, his performance in horace & pete was absolutely outstanding. the show itself really, everything written by louis ck is golden
I learned so much about how to simplify my language by teaching English to kids in China. I think it's going to follow me well into my career as an occupational therapist.
I just needed to build and master to communicate using English, Japanese, Korean and German. I think this bigthink will gonna be useful for subscriber of it.
I didn't understand the word at 3:00 so I tried to google it. I think it's highfalutinous. I'm not sure if that's actually a word but apparently, there is highfalutin, which matches the context. From google: Highfalutin - (especially of speech, writing, or ideas) pompous or pretentious
The prenatal to postmortem existential continuum is metaphorically equivalent to a cardboard containment vessel enclosing extremely finely ground Theobroma cacao seeds with a sucrose additive; foreknowledge of material reception is absent.
Apologies. It's a medical condition. My vernacular serves as an expulsory measure to remove the sub-millimeter crystals of silicon dioxide. It's imperative that this be performed or else I'll run the risk of them embedding in my endometrium ;-)
I wish I could be a friend with Alan Alda. I wish he wasn't so famous, so I could maybe get his attention and win him over as a friend. Does he live in a normal neighborhood and go to normal social stuff? If so, I might move there. Except ... would that be a creeper thing?
Real communicators make sure that the communication extends to those who are deaf or are losing their hearing, or have a processing disorder. Captions are essential if you do not want to exclude a huge demographic.
If you want to learn something, teach it. (Really, you should learn it, then do it, _then_ teach it so that you’re qualified to teach it and won’t waste all of your time). Once you’re teaching it, you can finish learning it and become a master of it. I see the progression going this way: An amateur doesn’t know what to do. An expert knows what to do. A master knows what not to do. That’s why an expert can only teach using jargon, while a master can teach anyone using plain language. An amateur makes something look impossible. An expert makes something look complicated. A master makes something look simple and obvious, or even unnecessary.
I gotta woder if, IN THIS CASE, and indeed ANY where terminal illness is presumed, they/we really SHOULD go this route. Placebos work, many a time death has been thwarted through belief that a cure is possible. It happens...and, no theyre not lucky or special cases
"Take this gobo and put it on the Century over there and hurry up because this is the martini shot and while you're at it bring me a half apple".... makes me laugh every time I hear him say it.
Finally a down to earth video thank you big think for putting this stuff on, now please get rid of that idiot(s) who panders to the politically correct and SJWs.. cos he ain't the nice guy or the science guy...
that he lost to santos in the election could only be explained because the writer of the show wanted it so...in real life, he would have won by a landslide imo
Overly fancy. Being, or trying to be more sophisticated than necessary or that you actually are. Or how you talk when you do believe you are super sophisticated.
This kind of video's is why I'm still subscribing this channel.

I'd wish I have Alan Alda as my grandfather. I wouldn't mind seeing him everyday and learning new things over a cup of coffee. Very inspiring, sir!

I love Alan Alda more than just about anyone else. He's a treasure.
So happy to have you again Alda!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic video on communication. Noise such as jargon can seriously cause reception problems to a receiver.
Irreplaceable, brilliant Alan 💖 you
really effective communications is sounding like Alan Alda
Thank you, Alan.
Exactly, and thank you so much for this. I've been saying this for over a decade, but you said it so much better than I ever have.
alan alda is one of the best actors of all time, his performance in horace & pete was absolutely outstanding. the show itself really, everything written by louis ck is golden
Amazing story
It's beautiful how mundanely he narrates the story without over hypes voice modulation and expression and audience still connect with him.
I love video's that send a great message without politics clouding the message.
Love Alan Alda, I've read his books

how proper that a tv doctor tells a story about real doctor and med student about ways to effectively communicate.
Alda is a treasure! :D

Wow. Great talk.
Well worth the watch!
I noticed he never said "uh" or "um" when he was talking.
yep, when he thinks he shuts up or slows down the pace
He's a consummate professional. He still has that smooth as silk voice.

That last MASH was like whooooooaaaaa
Very good video.

He'll always be Hawkeye to me ♡
Make me cry.
I only see him as uncle Pete now.. from Horace and Pete..

Ugh. I can't stand people who use big words to make themselves look perspicacious.

Pauli: So, life is like a box of chocolates.
But I don't get the last one yet, smarty-panties.
You don't know what yer gonna get.
I like him
It's all about symbols/metaphors/shorthand.
I wish I could be a friend with Alan Alda.
I wish he wasn't so famous, so I could maybe get his attention and win him over as a friend.
Does he live in a normal neighborhood and go to normal social stuff?
If so, I might move there. Except ... would that be a creeper thing?

penile 1 Thank you for your assistance. No need to be unkind.
Hey Louie, hand me that hootus! I used to work for an old driller who called every one "Louie" and everything a "hootus".

That doctor story..
Martini Video^^
We could just explain the jargon, that way more people will know the jargon of our subject. That's what I do often.

Dr. Pierce!! Love him.
Hawkeye!
I understand the context and his point. But honestly, mirroring during normal conversation is kinda awkward.

Keep It Short Sweet and Simple. K.I.S.S.S
Haha...... I think it's right! But you looks like my uncle.
Finally a down to earth video
thank you big think for putting this stuff on,
now please get rid of that idiot(s) who panders to the politically correct and SJWs.. cos he ain't the nice guy or the science guy...
"Please remove anything I don't like..."
I don't think you have been paying attention in this video.
that he lost to santos in the election could only be explained because the writer of the show wanted it so...in real life, he would have won by a landslide imo
What the hell is hifalutin? Lol.
Overly fancy. Being, or trying to be more sophisticated than necessary or that you actually are. Or how you talk when you do believe you are super sophisticated.
He does not say "YOU KNOW" I find that really annoying if I knew why am I listening to you
Ironically he didn't communicate his points clearly.
