"I'm just going off of what other people have said"
-every woke student in existence
At least this one had the self-awareness to acknowledge it
@@matityaloran9157yes
This made me laugh
Woke so-and-so heard this so it must be true spread the word
Then there's the rest of us shaking our heads and asking ourselves how fucking stupid can someone be🤔
They're such cowards; most of them do not seem able to form their own thought and defend it. They push the responsibility for their positions on others.
Give the kid credit for owning up that he was wrong.
The teacher helped by making him feel safe enough, and not judged, so he could own a mistake. So many just automatically argue. He gave him space to just get there. It was awesome.
The problem is that he is not a kid
@@cyma_gaming well, to be fair, very young adults often tend to be quite immature, especially if they didn't have a lot of experience with different opinions and perspectives. And as someone who's seen 40+ year old adults act as if they were 13 and I was their mom, I think learning to own up to your mistakes is something much needed, and it's rarely too late to learn it.
Yes, absolutely.
I still got so annoyed with that student, I was ready to play devil's advocate and use her other tweets. 😅
I must emphasize that I do not think that she is transphobic or generally in the wrong, but I would use her tweets about gender, unwillingness to accept "inclusive" terms and trans-women in sports for my arguments. I also try to put a low bar on what people consider transphobic and challenge him about who should define that, random people or those who are trans. 😏
"My job is to teach you how to think, not teach you what to think," That alone speaks volumns on the level of understanding this man is trying to impart.
You have stolen my lines, my good fellow ❤❤❤
Yes, that was my favorite line from the whole video
I wish I had such an amazing teacher when I was still in school
said like buddha
This example should be followed by curriculums in general, I learned tonnes about Henry the 8th and left knowing absolutely nothing about tax or anything crucial for a financial future. Shakespeare, Henry the 8th and industrial revolution... High school in the 90s my favourite subject was geography because there is no favoured aspect it's pure data on how the world functions
Warren Smith (the teacher) was just fired by his school. we need to rally around him.
I was afraid of that. I thought I had seen that he had been dismissed, and that the dismissal was linked to this.
Lord God, save this man. We need him.
Be with us all, Lord. Give us what we need. Amen.
"I feel kind of stupid now". WOW. Props to a Gen Z kid for having the guts to say that. Props to the teacher. This is the kind of discussion we need.
This is the kind of discussion that's banned in many places already if I understood it.
I think the only way to eradicate Hate is more Education and a reality that we can become friends and better people together for the future.
The kid was already ahead of the woke garbage to begin with cause he said gender differences is a fact. If he was actually an idiot. God knows where that conversation would of went
And something more people need to be comfortable with. There is NOTHING wrong with being wrong. It happens to litterally all of us. At uni we have our preconceptions constantly proven wrong and we learned from it. Dont think I've ever had a course were I didnt have something I thought to be true be proven to be a false narrative. You can be the world leading expert in w/e field and you will still be wrong every now and then even in your field of expertise.
Now obviously this doesnt mean all opinions are equally worth - expert opinions should be held at a higher value. But its certainly an important lesson to keep at the back of your mind and a key factor in applying critical thinking.
@@jadziadax5365 No you're making the same mistake of going with what other people are saying. They haven't banned this kind of conversation in schools at all. Most teachers try to do exactly what this teacher is doing they teach their students how to think critically not what to think.
@@darkcircle899 If most teachers did that, the world wouldn't be in the sorry state it's currently in. And yeah, this kind of conversation has been banned in most schools in countries like the US and UK. Teachers who want to teach their students to think critically won't have the chance to do so. Some students will file a complaint and the teacher will be forced to play along with the woke censorship + don't-think ideology or quit his/her job. There's no shortage of teachers who have gone through this.
Props to the student too! Sooo honest and open minded.
Yeah, I feel like the student needs some credit here for being willing to listen. Too many wokies prefer screaming over someone with a different opinion
@@saviorself1164”MA’AM?! YOU DARE FCKING CALL ME MA’AM?!” -that one lady
@@saviorself1164
Agreeable they would get contradicted a lot and still go with it and get aggressive sometimes.
Well that’s what they think they are doing. Having an open mind. The problem is that they are wrong in two ways.
One is that they do have a more open perspective initially, but it’s not paired with the ability to discern what they are open too.
The second is that once they are open, the concept quickly transforms into a destruction of the means to tolerate other viewpoints, because of the destruction of all other forms of meaning.
It’s an anti-philosophy, because it attacks actual value scales per se. The notion of truth per se. It proposes virtue by means that actually provide no inherent virtue, and says the work of one is theft from all. Or at the least strength or skill is at the expense of all. (That’s the line between Marx and Postmodernism. Marx is all Economic. Postmodernism encompasses all inequality.) All while attesting that your collective identity is both the most important thing about you, while simultaneously suggesting such things don’t truly exist. That they are arbitrary seeming, and primarily dependent on whatever one feels in the instance.
Now they don’t say that. But if you follow the path they lay out it leads there.
@@chickenmonger123it’s not that deep. At least give them credit for listening and trying to have a calm conversation.
The teacher is Warren Smith. I really like his youtube channel.
As a side note, even the title of his video was just simply: "When a STUDENT asks about JK ROWLING this happens". He didn't use any demeaning language or clickbait titles. We need more people like this.
This teacher had no idea how viral this conversation would go. He’s a man of great character and what a beautiful teacher!!
Of courseeeee he did. Wait a month… this will be another right wing grifter proven to be lying to you.
As he would suggest, we can’t really conclude that he is or isn’t a man of great character. We don’t know anything about him.
We can only conclude that based off of this conversation he holds thoughtful conversations very useful in teaching, which suggest he is a great teacher.
Well he’s filming himself, so he probably had some kind of idea what he was doing
Didn't let pride stop him from accepting feedback and changing things, well done kid.
Easier to do when you remove groupthink and fear.
Actually that deserves appreciation
I go too that school the kid isn’t some raging liberal just a normal skater kid lol
Well done for that particular moment however, he’s an idiot for even approaching his ideas that way to begin with
@@joshbull623Yet you’re here, specifically because this channel tells you what you want to hear while watching a video with glaring red flags about its authenticity?
We need more teachers like this
The guys is an actor. Not a teacher.
@4000Wiggins although he's an actor, I'd would rather have him as a teacher than whatever schools hires as "teachers"
@@4000Wiggins As a teacher myself, it doesn't matter as anyone can be a teacher, and every situation can teach us something. This video whether it's scripted or not lays out an interesting though seemingly forgotten concept: if you make a statement or assertion, what is it based on? Do you personally actually know all the information leading to that assertion? If not, can you verify it?
Sounds like teaching to me 🤷♂️
@@4000WigginsHe is not an actor & your statement is grammatically incorrect.
And more students like that. That are willing to hear another side and admit when they're wrong. It was so wholesome when he said "now I feel like an idiot" 😂 which he's not! He seems like a genuinely nice kid who just needed some knowledge and guidance.
"I am here to teach you how to think, not what to think."
Always good to see someone who understands their job.
Something that is also positive is if a professor states that they will have a bias and what that one is. Taking in information from sources with different biases is the only way to get a completed picture of what is being spoken about.
?
"I feel like an idiot now" -"Thats ok, we are here to learn", perfect owning up, SUPERB response! No putting down, making a super safe space to be wrong...that kid will be open to being wrong more in the future with an experience like that....and because of that, he will shape himself to be wise.
The real idiot doesn't learn
saying "No, i was wrong. I feel like an Idiot" is an absolute hero move. Not many people have the gut to stand for their fails. Respect.
Yeah I remember being taught to own my mistakes, and take responsibility for my actions and never lie even if it means I'm gonna get a hiding afterwards. Always be honest both with yourself and others
everybody with a brain and character, at one time in life, changed opinions after confronted with truth. Just idiots continue on the wrong path even knowing it is wrong.
Yeah it’s hard to admit when ur wrong
It’s good he admitted he was wrong, but stopping acting like a massive idiot doesn’t make you a hero. Helping someone else become smarter, _that’s_ the hero move.
hero move hahahaha
when does being rational = heroic
The student was at least willing to discuss his stupid comment. True leftists don’t even consider any alternative to how they feel.
He got very easily convinced by the teacher so he will be converted back easily the moment he leaves the room. People like him are literally just mindless drones going around without any personality or opinion of their own, they can't stand for anything and are just manipulated by anybody who comes around at the time. He has no idea what is he even talking about and probably never will.
Yeah , it’s either you completely agreed with them and submit to their ideology ,or you are a bad person with no redeeming quality , they are gonna act like you are Hitler-level of evil ~~
They tie the feeling to the identity so everything is an assault to their ego
My opinion is that the student isn't a "leftist", but instead they are a "middle-ground" ...whether they know it or not. A "middle-ground" thinker is able to accept when they are wrong and can see the faults of both sides of the line. There are too many one-opinion thinkers and unfortunately, they end up voting one way or the other because of one specific policy (i.e. abortion, immigration, gay marriage, ect)
I'm a leftist and trust me, those of us who are actually left despise the woke crowd more than those on the right. They've betrayed every principle of the left with their pettiness and divisiveness.
That teacher was great: he made it completely safe for the student to acknowledge that he felt like an idiot. He made it safe to be human and allowed to grow and learn from mistakes and critical thinking. We need more of that.
Kudos to the kid for not interrupting. See way to much of that. Was willing to have his belief be challenged, and open to changing his stance. We need more of that, and less rabid dogmatism.
I like how neither of them really interrupted
They had a conversation without anyone raising their voice or crying, that’s a new one to me.
Yeah, this makes me think it's fake.
Half the problem is the crazies. The other half are the ones who blindly go along. This kid is clearly in the second camp but just maybe he’ll find his way to independent thought.
Yeah, it's sad, isn't it? That something like that is the exception nowadays.
or barking
You can tell his students respect him. They probably do these exercises on a daily basis.
Oh, look at that. A student is getting a solid education.
12 million views.
What a world we are in if this is what we find remarkable. Thirty years ago, this was a normal Tuesday at a community college.
The world's changed. And not in a good way.
No it wasn’t; nobody was talking about trans people thirty years ago. Instead, the hot topic was that idiot from Arkansas getting elected and his stupid domestic policies forcing my family to move.
i mean its not having so many views becasue its solid education.
This was a college student?!!!
Yeah now it’s like we are assumed to think a certain way in schools and colleges
At least he admitted he was wrong most people don’t do that
Perfect example of a teacher doin exactly what he should.
Teaching his student How to think, not What to think.
We need a buttload more of this person in teaching professions around the world.
He really exemplifies how a teacher should be.
That teacher politely shutting him down when he started "Well everyone else says-" is fantastic. That student learned something so valuable.
the problem with that statement is that it is not what everyone else says, or even a lot of other people say. social media gives even a singular person a voice, and a vocal minority do not represent the majority.
That college student learned how to act and think like a 10 year old child from 20 years ago and that's what's sad about America today
@iris4547 Historically, the minoritys of a particular group have been responsible for the greatest evils and hardships in our history. I've watched for 20 years as a minority Hijacked my political party for example, only to realize it started way before I was even born, yet 75 years later we are here.
It's dangerous to dismiss these things for the perception that it's a loud few so no big deal. Also, not true in many instances. We live in a country with over 300 million people, minority is relative.
@@joshbull623da joooz, right?
Yes! You just nailed that on the head! Think for yourself! Brilliant!
"The whole point is to learn how to think, not what to think." I love that!
This is hateful to those who can’t debate.
Props to both of them. To the teacher for calmly holding firm to facts, and to the student for allowing his mind to change.
That man is a scholar and a gentleman. Good job to the student for being honest as well.
Holy crap! I know that teacher! He was my amazing critical thinking teacher at a community college around 2012. It was a school in the only majority Republican county in southern California.
Amazing man. He broke down very nicely logic fallacies and how to tell good from bad sources of information. He taught me the vital thing that the most believable expert is someone who came to a opposite conclusion from what they wanted their study to find, and they admit it. Seeing him now breaks my heart. His eyes look so hollow like he's seen too much woke things. Back then he had a shine in his eyes of a young teacher with hopes of changing the world. Well he changed my world. I thank him deeply for helping me navigate this scary world where you don't know who to trust is telling the truth
That’s incredible!! I’m sure he would be glad to know that he made such an impact on you! It’s plain to see that this is a very intelligent and kind man and I loathe to think of a world without teachers like him in it. We’d all be doomed. 😂
That’s fascinating thanks for sharing! I’m sure he’d love to know this is you reach out 🙂
That look in his eyes is called aging.
His method of teaching critical thinking is very much like that of a class in Logic that I’d taken in college several decades ago. The semester class was taught by an ‘old school’ German Catholic priest at my school. One of my most favorite classes.
I had critical thinking teachers in a majority Democratic county in Southern California, go figure.
Half the time they say "educate yourself" when they can't make an argument. Props to the student for not doing that
Whenever you hear someone saying "educate yourself," chances are this person is the uneducated one who just wanted to take the moral high ground in the situation.
Whenever you hear someone saying "educate yourself," chances are this person is the uneducated one who just wanted to take the moral high ground in the situation.
Why would anyone waste their time trying to educate anyone else? It's not anyone's job to be education ignorant people. Why would I spend my time digging up sources and writing a long explanation? I'm not anyone's teacher, especially on the internet.
@@TonyMontanaDS It's the person making a claim that has the responsibility to prove their claim. So yes if you make a claim it's your responsibility to prove it.
@@stevehaney344 No it's not. I don't have to prove facts. It's up to the person doubting the claims to go and investigate it for themselves.
This is how Christianity should look.
You love people by listening and respecting the freedom of their choices. After that, walk them into truth where they are wrong (his incorrect judgment) by being inoffensive and non-judgmental. Well done sir!
Absolutely 💯
Props to that guy for willing to have a conversation.
“I’ve heard.”
There you go. That’s why they think what they do. They were told. Thank God there are some people willing to teach them to think for themselves.
But practically everything we know has been told to us. We never tested that water boils at 100 C. We just assume it's true because why would all those people lie? And whenever we are told something we need to use our own judgement and common sense to decide whether or not it is true or at least makes sense.
@@larky368bruh 🤦 somethings are easily proven. You're going to tell me ever since we learned the temperature of boiling water no one ever since has even attempted to boil water? That's exactly what you're saying because that would mean no one has brought water up to that proper temperature, therefore not testing it, so that means no one is boiled water since we first discovered boiled water.
@@larky368 Funny because at some point in history (just kiding it was just some decades ago) kids did test that water boils at 100 C in school. And other things like that. Well in my school we did. Some young people nowaday will tell you that its not something important to do in school, totally avoiding the point about learning to see proof and search for evidence before accepting what is told to them.
@@larky368 Most people have, in fact, tested that water does boil at 100°c
Never cooked in your life? Not even pasta? It's a basic skill everyone needs, you know. No the microwave doesn't count.
All you need is something to heat up to 100°c, a container that can withstand that heat, water, and a thermometer or device that allows you to select or monitor temperature up to 100°c.
“Let’s not go with what other people think and learn how to think critically.”
I like him, already!
When a student gets a western male teacher for the first time after listening to emotionally driven women for 11 years 😂
This is why I believe that college is so important. It’s supposed to teach people HOW to think. Really crazy and delusional people have tried to turn it into “thinking right” but that was never the point of academia. It was always supposed to be about learning to think critically and coming to the most rational conclusions while supporting your position with evidence and citations.
Its to the point where even studies are being told not to release just because the findings are "problematic". Look up Roland Fryers study on police violence its just depressing what he had to go through in order to release it.
@@takumifujiwara9181 Also Charles Murray and recently attacked Jordan Peterson.
This is not an accurate representation of college. Most teachers are not able to lead students to this level of analysis
@@milpormilunmillon As someone who has attended multiple colleges, with multiple degrees, and has also been a lecturer at a number of colleges, I do not agree with you. Maybe a few professors suck but most do exactly what I mentioned.
If you don't know how to THINK by 18, you're a lost cause or the school system is a failure. Likely both. College needs to teach skills, not basic things that you should learn as a child. Shame on his parents.
Hero!!!!! Gently, kindly, patiently, guided this young man to come to the truth and to form his own opinion! This video needs to be shown to every student teacher and teacher in this country!
I am a old fart now. School in the 80s and 90s. This is how my teachers walked us through a topic.
They taught us how and not what to think.
I had some terrible teachers and I grew up then as well. Had one teacher going through a divorce that took it out on all us boys that year, a lesbian that was trying to force female issues on the boys all the time, a social studies teacher who was sleeping with the girls, a vindictive teacher who hounded me left and right framing me for anything and everything because I called her a snatch for not leaving me alone when I told them I had a note to be in the halls and she wouldn't stop screaming at me to get back to the lunch room.
This is a VERY good, respectfull and refreshing discussion.
We need more of these students and teachers
We just need more discourse like this in general, instead of insults and bullying on both sides to force agreement or shut down communication.
I agree, it was quite refreshing 😊
@@ShadowPhoenix82 id actually like to see examples of some of the rights bigger talking heads, shutting down conversation. Ive mostly seen an attempt to engage in a conversation about how to solve issues, and the other end never in a million years wanting to talk about that. The only leftist ive seen not afraid of conversing with any social skill to engage in such conversations is Destiny.
no, what we need is to remove left winging people from education system ect im not gonna sit around and argue why delusional nonsense is bad to adult / teachers while they push it all onto kids and why mental illness isnt good thing to left winging people who are constantly restricting everyone to not offend mental people and defects @@ShadowPhoenix82
We need more teachers like him. One of the problems of our education system is lacking teachers who are critical thinkers themselves. The bad teachers won’t get fired while good teachers won’t get rewarded.
Absolutely love the way this teacher handled this!!
This video is an excellent example of why freedom of speech is important in society.
If we don't have the freedom to ask and respectfully disagree with each other, how are we supposed to find an answer?
Congrats to the teacher for showing the danger of having premisses based on nothing or in others opinions. That's awesome!
Question everything guys!
The problem with this is half the time, they aren't even advocating for removal of freedom of speech, but freedom of expression.
Freedom of Speech isn't around in the UK where I live, but we still have freedom of expression, which most are fine with. There's no societal benefit for the allowance of hate speech, under any circumstance, which is the main difference between the two. But as it stands with these types, they don't want to remove hate speech, they want to redefine it as 'anything that disagrees with them'.
It's quite literally what any genuinely fascist regime does. Silence the opposition to remove any risk of being ousted.
I’m a public educator- hanging in there 😅 I love having these kinds of conversations with students! This is the magic of a good teacher. Love to see it!
So true. My sophomore American Literature teacher rocked my world, and that was an 8am class so that was no easy feat, lol. 35 apathetic 15 year olds who were barely awake, and literature, like "The Scarlet Letter." oy, lol. But he was amazing and it was magic. I'm 53 and still think about Mr
Gibbons and that class. It changed my life. HE changed my life.
There's a strong difference between telling someone what to think and teaching someone how to think.
This teacher did an awesome job.
In this day and age, the student is really courageous for being so honest and admitting what he actually sees and thinks at the end of the conversation.
It's so nice to hear that professor. Learn how to think, not tell you what to think.
This man is an actual teacher!FAN-FREEKING-TASTIC!
The hard part is, to teach someone to think, it must be a 1:1 work. To indoctrinate someone with anger and brainwashing.. is a 1:Millions task. So it is hard to defeat the ignorance exploited by the woke / modern left that is doign this only as a means of enslaving humanity minds
Great teacher and a sweet, open minded student. I’m so glad he didn’t fall on the floor screaming.
Now they've fired him and created a folk hero. I hope he gets a flood of support from channels like this.
That teacher needs a raise and I think I owe him a beer
For a split second, I thought you said bear and it seemed like a dangerous albeit awesome gift, lol.
Your idea is better, lol.
@@madeleinegrayson8372screw it, give ‘em a bear too. 😂
See now thats how we treat each other..nobody was shouting, nobody was repeating drivel..this is how you not only teach but parent. This is how you teach critical thinking,this is how we bring the generation lost, back to the real world of grass and light and love
Thank you Amala for renewing my faith on youth n professors
There are students who wouldn't give this teacher the time to explain anything.
It was a great wake up moment for the student realizing he had just been socially conditioned by an idealogy he just took for granted and pointed out to him by a teacher who showed him in a respectful egoless manner. Plaudits to them both..
Unfortunately that's not enough for people to consistently apply critical thinking. If he's in that deep he still has a long way to go most likely.
"The Coffee Cups are not Christmas enough." - Said nobody, ever.
I’ve been looking for videos like this. Like a video where a mind is changed or someone in a debate admits defeat and agrees. Thank you so much.
5:41, “the wise man knows that he knows nothing” Socrates
I appreciate that the kid was actually willing to discuss the topic rationally, honestly, and openly without getting defensive. Most leftist immediately get defensive and pissy when they start to realize they're wrong and instead of just owning up to it, they start lashing out and being hateful. It takes real maturity to admit when you're wrong. Good job teacher, good job student 👍🏼
I’d say most extremists from both ends of the political spectrum would react that way. That’s why they are extremists-they can’t budge from their hard and fast opinions and end up kicking and screaming instead of debating or discussing.
Most "leftist" start to get defensive and pissy when they realize they are wrong? Or you mean most people in general? You think most "rightists" or conservatives don't get defensive or pissy for the same reasons? Come on. You sound exactly like the kid in the video who made biased assumptions based on absolutely nothing. If anything in my experience it's the opposite. Progressives are more open to critical thinking while conservatives are just that. Conservative in their thinking and stuck in their ways. They don't like change and don't want to change regardless of facts or logic. That's like religious people who are mostly conservatives or rightists. You can't convince them with facts or logic because religion isn't based on facts or logic but just beliefs based on blind faith. And they get super defensive or pissy when challenged.
Have you tried to have a discussion with a conservative Catholic about how their church and priests are all pedophiles? Have you noticed how all the church defends even likely or convicted pedophiles and tries to cover up everything instead of doing the right thing?
That's just one example. There's 100s more. But even I won't say that it's "most conservatives or rightists" like you said but for leftists, because it's not something you can prove and it's just your own assumptions and bias. As such it says much more about yourself than anything else. Just like the kid in this video when he also made such assumptions that Jk Rowling was transphobic or this or that but when challenged, he couldn't even prove she was even a tiny bit transphobic.
Amala, thank you for posting this! You are as amazing as this teacher and we need more intelligent young people like you educating young and old people!
That was masterful and amazing! Kudos to the student for his humility to learn and change his mind!
Wow a teacher teaching students how to think not what to think. It’s almost like we fell back in time.
This is an example of a proper teacher.
I really like that you shared this. It’s a great example of how discussion should be. It’s good to be able to admit when you’re wrong and it’s even better to be able to allow people to express and work through their views.
This is very encouraging!
2:20 “it was deemed transphobic so I went with that but I don’t really have an opinion on it myself.”
Oh jeez, that explains a lot about what’s happening today
Obviously I have no data on that but my guess is that almost all of them are just repeating what they heard plus they also mimic the reaction. It's a simple revolting movement of the youth like we see every 2 decades or so (Hippie movement e.g.).
I think the main difference with this one is that they are backed by the government which steered this in a whole different direction and became way bigger than it should've ever been.
"I can't find anything transphobic but the hive mind has deemed it as transphobic so it's transphobic even if I don't think so", jesus christ we just watched someone learning to think critically for the first time ever in their life...
That is actually how most people have acted since the very beggining of society. But yes there are a bit too many gullible people in the latest generations.
@@Dice-ZReligion and Nationalism has been dogmatic used as tool for control for thousands of years. This is nothing new.
It rly does
It's as if the student has never stopped to think for himself before. Like a parrot, he simply regurgitates what he has been told to say/think.
That's sadly 70-80% of people today, I'd guess.
@madeleinegrayson8372 yes, that's because critical thinking is a skill & skills are learned. It's not taught except in some uni degrees so people aren't ignorant on purpose, most don't deserve condescension & derision.
I think a lot of people don't want to be disliked. They agree with the majority without thinking because they don't want to be excluded. Having different thought can make you seem like a bad person. In reality, I think a lot of person disagree with the woke propaganda but they fear the repercussions of saying it
@@luckyduchesse8924 It's both, they're obviously scared to go against the narrative as evidenced by how much he prefaces his answer with things like "I DON'T think its transphobic but I COULD see how other people think it is and that's valid...", always hesitant to admit they don't follow the narrative while still trying to justify why instead of just a quick "Yeah no, that's not transphobic in the slightest" but it's also because they're poorly educated on the topics and never bother doing any research. You'll notice he couldn't list a single piece of evidence for transphobia and his only real argument was "well I heard other people say she was" and that was good enough for him... People don't bother researching anything, they just believe whatever they hear without any proof and that is the main issue, not just because they're scared of backlash for going against the masses, that's only a small part of it.
@@madeleinegrayson8372 There's a little bit of irony in saying that while pulling out random numbers, tbh.
Thank you for the video. I love the voice you hold online.
That guy should be told, to carry on. Nothing he did was wrong. No matter the money, he should not have to put up with, and did not want to be in that system. Under those conditions for life. God bless him. He will land on his feet.
That student was really trying hard not to let go of the social circle he was influenced by, but he ultimately was able to form his own opinion and deserves kudos for that.
I remember a time when this was standard teaching?? Has it changed so much that this shocks people?
Also, as a kid if someone said "I heard someone is...." then the reply would simply be "Don't be a sheep, think for yourself"
Exactly. It’s shocking that this is ‘notable’ these days 🙈
It was standard teaching until like a decade ago or so in my country. But regardless of that... my country has among the most brainwashed sheep in the world (Netherlands). Clearly, it didn't help. This is basically thanks to Dutch people's arrogance. They think the country is the best in the world... which it no doubt is in many regards, but then proceed to make the assumption that we also have the best and most free press in the world and that all of our news is true and objective. Basically they deluded themselves into thinking that (despite there being plenty of evidence of the contrary).
The result is that many Dutch people instead of wondering why government distrust has grown exponentially, just believe the stupid lies the mainstream media and politicians tell them. They're not aware of movement to rightwing or in a different direction than left happening in many other countries, even European countries. Our press doesn't report it and if you bring it up yourself and say it's from foreign reporting, they will say it's just lies from an unreliable source. So while there's a lot more movement in most European countries, the Dutch are still rather slow on the uptake. Not all Dutch since I'm not one of the slow ones and the amount that isn't buying into the bs is growing (though honestly, I already realized the direction we were headed in a few decades ago), but it's still going to take a while.
Amala, your rhetoric is definitely masterful. What a great professor how he gets the immature mind to THINK with examples without “shaming” the student who did realize his “non thinking “.
I'm so glad people like you exist!!! thank you for introducing this brilliant teacher
2:32 that’s the problem with this generation : they go with what others say and think. They don’t think for themselves. They see what is trending and support whatever the idea is just to be conformist and be accepted by the masses. That is why a lot of kids today accept a lot of unintelligent ideas, own them, and spread them WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO ACTUALLY EXPLAIN THEM.
it is adolescent. everybody is looking at me..uh no they arent...they think everyone is looking at them. i am an individual!!! to demonstrate this i will be a herd animal and talk and dress and conform and be just like everyone else because i am an individual!! hear me whine..oops ..roar.
This is the problem in every generations. How do you think superstitions get carried to this day?
@@dragonbane44 Yep. And worth noting that being able to offer an explanation doesn't mean it is well founded.
But this isn't the problem with this generation. This same problem exists with all generations across the board. And the reason it's gotten so bad for the youth especially is because the adults who are supposed to teach them to think critically are mostly incapable of thinking critically themselves.
@@thenonexistinghero I agree it isn't just a problem with this generation. It has always been a problem. The difference was in the past, centralized media like TV, radio, and newspapers would tell people what to think. There was less discord as a result and things were generally better because typically traditional media would get someone reasonably qualified to comment on things. However with the internet and every Tom, Zhao, and Ivan can publish (mis)information, pulling the population in 100s of directions with zero quality control on the information.
“I’m going with what other people think.” …. That, folks, is what cultists do. When they call Rightwingers the cultists, they’re wrong. We debate. We are individualists…. Not collectivists. Cults are populated by collectivists.
I see cultists on both sides but I never actually encounter conservatives making life into an endless series of "walking on eggshells" moments.
There's elements of the Right can certainly be cultish, and are.
The difference is it pales in comparison to the current state of the left, and the left's cultural clout.
Yet that can change, and likely will within the next 10-20 years.
Nah, the right has cultists too. This is a loud, vocal minority of MAGA supporters who are indeed cultists. Both parties have a few genuinely deranged individuals amongst them. To claim that it's only one party or another is VERY disingenuous. I personally disagree with a lot of the talking points or the left, but never dismiss the issues within the party that your views most closely align with. For every 1000 people, there will be at least one crazy person in the bunch. Multiply that by all the tens of millions of people who are Rightwing and there ARE a large number of crazy people who will form cults within the party. For example, you had speaker Mike Johnson in November openly admitting that he didn't want to expel George Santos from Congress even AFTER it was proven through that Santos committed fraud during his campaign due to financial documents turned over to the bipartisan Ethics committee. Too many crooked politicians.
@@PjRjHjDefinitely agree with you. The deflective tone of the original commenter is so frustrating. Yeah, the left is very, very bad about their cult-like behavior at the moment, but, to claim that it's not happening on the right AT ALL, is a complete lie.
You sure aren’t including the highly religious part of the right then? There are definitely very similar cult like traits they share with extreme leftists. Sometimes even worse in my opinion. The only difference is that it isn’t that popular anymore so they don’t hold enough power to actually let the average person feel it.
Great teacher and wonderful that the student was willing to discuss and accept a different conclusion.
I really appreciate the way you look at issues and address them rationally and in an articulate way. You invite conversation. 😁
Respect to the student AND the teacher! 99% of both sides don’t critically think or formulate their own takes.
Wow...he straight up made that student start thinking for himself. Bravo
Thanks for this. I'm older yet I keep finding hope in youth. So smart! So thoughtful. I think we're going to be alright. ❤😊
AWESOME!!! Wonderful teacher. We need a million of them.
His name is Warren Smith, Piers Morgan has an interview with him on Sky News
This teacher mastered his craft and hats off to the student willing to learn. Chefs kiss to this whole interaction! ❤
Absolutely amazing!! This is how to be a teacher! Love it
I asked my close friend if she was going to get the hogwarts legacy game, and she said “probably not because I don’t want to support JK Rowling.”
I so much wanted to play dumb and ask her what she said, because truly, she speaks for so many women. What she said was not wrong, it was fact.
I feel like she’s been brainwashed by things from the left. It really sucks. She was not always like this until she came out and went headfirst into the community.
I do wonder how much she has seen on TikTok that makes her think this way versus what she would actually think if she read the tweets herself (assuming she didn’t).
Unfortunately these kids will get him back over by telling him how her impact is harmful so its transphobism either way
And he will ‘get them back’ by asking them ‘how’.
Yeah people like him really lack any substance and consitency. If the teacher was able to turn his opinions 180 degrees in couple of minutes, how long before he get back to the woke nonsense? He gives off strong mindless drone vibes.
The student just wanted a reason to be a whiny baby.
He had the answers in his pocket the entire time. The thought to Google-It never even occurred to him. Tyrants thru temper tantrums.
@@johntheknight3062 The teacher was able to change his view this quickly because his initial view was bs and baseless. There’s no reason to believe one could change his mind again this easily without the facts to back it up.
@@johntheknight3062not necessarily true, sometimes we don't realize how incredibly fragile our beliefs are until someone points out all of the cracks to us, and once that happens you can't just go back.
My heart is warm and fuzzy seeing young people exhibiting critical thinking. And highlighting the hypocrisy. Keep up the excellent work.
Young lady, you are doing a phenomenal service or job or however you would like to label it! You are special and blessed for sure with the intellect you bring to the conversation! Thank you!🙏🏻❤️. This is from an ole 62- year old white dude!😀. You are blesssed! Taking the emotion out of or the frustration that we witness daily is rough! Because we like to think we are all humble, and less quick to critique without pure fact! Or dare I say “CRITICAL THINKING”! You are beautiful! Keep up the blessed work you’re doing! Love and blessings to you and yours!🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
Good on that kid. He thought. It took a bit, but he was willing.
Kudos to the teacher and student for their parts in this learning exercise. Learning to think for *ourselves* is the most valuable lesson any of us can learn.
Kudos to the student as well, who is open for reflection and discussion and show respectful to the teachers. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people simply reject to think or discuss at all.
It was so wonderfully gentle and factually.
Wow. A discussion without yelling, been mean, and super calm. US is healing finally.
"US is healing finally." 🤣
Logical reasoning only works for those capable of logical thinking.
Calm and patient. I love it.
"Im just going off what other people have said"
I would be SOOOOO ashamed of admitting that, that is something I have NEVER done.
I often do this because when it comes to facts, I don't personally collect the data that support the facts validity, so I'm just going to accept that it is a fact and take the examiners word for it. Especially if it's a generally accepted fact such as the landing on the moon. How do I personally know it's fact? Did I go there? Did I take the pictures? No. So I have to just take NASA's word for it. The alternative is for me to personally fly to the moon but that is almost impossible for me given my circumstances.
Independent thought vs group think. This is the standard we need to get back to. Well done to both Tutor & student 😊
“Critical thinking” and yet it just takes 1 brain cell to realize it
To realize that this video is fake and staged? Where is your critical thinking.
@@Fandrir if only it was. Please do bare minimum research dip
@Fandrir proof? Oh, I see. Your cynical ass knows everything, and everyone else is a moron. Right?
@@Fandrir Yeah? Where's your proof, or are you just another pathetic pathological liar
Loved this! Gives me a tiny bit of hope for our youth ❤
Fantastic teaching! Thank you for sharing a very positive learning moment for a student it is much needed to see✌️❤️🙏✝️🇺🇸
This teacher was so patient throughout this video. Much respect to him for being willing to ask the necessary questions and pushing the student to critically think for himself rather than believe everything that is said online.
Every conversation should be like this, regardless of your political views. Have a real conversation....
Not going to teach you what to think BUT HOW TO THINK !!! just AMAZING. Thank you !!!
I think something important to think about is the reason why this student felt comfortable allowing the realization to set it that he may have been mistaken. He was comfortable saying he was wrong because he knew his teacher and knew he was not the type of person to make him feel stupid for blindly believing something. He was aware that he was in a safe space to not be verbally attacked and that it was ok to switch opinions and not made to feel like an idiot. More of this please ♥️
I have watched this clip over a dozen times now and for me it's utterly perfect. The teacher is just a remarkable man. He doesn't preach, he doesn't shout, he doesn't ever say '' you're wrong ''. He does what EVERY educator on the planet should do, he listens then he teaches. The student also deserves huge credit for opening his eyes and allowing himself to be taught. It's a MASSIVE life lesson for EVERYONE. Listen to both sides, do your OWN research and thinking, then draw your fully informed conclusions.
The only sad thing about the entire exchange is that in my youth this was called common sense and we were all taught it. Both at school and at home.
However, I just hope this proves to be an example to both those who teach and also those who are taught.
Amazing teacher. He's showing them how to form an opinion based on independent thought and not be a robot.
