No. It's a trade-off most people make consciously, individually; because we have a system that allows this freedom. So what's to replace it? Socialism? Communism? There's nothing tough or "truthful" about this phrase. As for being logical... that type of straining to make that logical will only result in hernias. He said his speech was "apolitical". So why did he go on about meritocracy... his speech was only political. We already have a "mass multi-cultural democracy". It started in 1776!
In order to sing that song into someones eyes, I think it's best to detach from yourself and others long enough to really see them. But now through this medium of 1 and 0's, that could be taken as mostly ego driven, unless I say, have a great time doing it. No? Still too much ego?
Love how you mentioned, in how some of our greatest happiness is found in those moments when we are in a state of utter dependency upon another, or another upon us. The joy that comes from the sense that others need us, and that we are in need of others. As I've mentioned in some of my writings... "One of the very base principles of Life is Unity. While one of the core principles of Death is Division." So no double, the incorrect perception of Independence, through out our society these days, is just dividing us more and more.
This is better than Alan Watts or Jordan Peterson. Thank you. It is new and fresh. Not the popular run of hippie and dogmatic info that's out there right now. I want to listen again.
As you talked about in how your friend looked into the eyes of that eternal creation (the bird), and he wished that that moment would have never ended. Well I'd say likewise, eternity isn't so much something that's found out there, throughout the endless aging of time and beyond. But more over, as one comes to truly comprehend every precent individual moment for all that it is.
In going along with how you mentioned somethings about the Idealizing of your time, and all the misuse of it, a little quote I once wrote, "In the end.. the true value of time... can really only be measured.. in accordance to those memories... from whence it was spent."
I LOVE how he speaks so naturally. I feel like I'm listening to him sitting at the dinner table. A LOT of speakers could learn from him.
I thank my Heavenly Father for men like David Brooks who stand up for decency and moral efficacy. He is funny too... just really like this guy.
The logical end to meritocracy is to be detached from other people.
A tough but truthful observation.

It never ceases to amaze me how these talks fall right in line with what I've been contemplating
David Brooks is a gift to all he touches. I love his message

This is what I needed to hear and to go back to church with a new heart. Thanks, DAVID BROOkS!
What a great address. Loved every second.

He is amazing thanks brooks for giving us this insight
Please post the entire talk with the Q n A! The BYUtv broadcast cut after the talk and didn’t have the questions. Also, could you post Anne’s talk?
The truth is that people are creatures of God and can find true fulfillment only in worshiping and obediently serving God the Creator.
