    Nice People Aren't Kind and Honesty Without Kindness Is Brutality (4K)

    This one's about how being kind and being nice aren't the same thing. Nice is the person who sees you with a flat tire, says "aw that sucks," and keeps driving. Kind is the person who pulls over and helps you fix it, even if they're grumpy about it. There's some old letters from John Adams and Benjamin Franklin about sincerity and truth-telling. Default to kindness first, because doing the thing matters more than sounding pleasant while doing nothing. ________________Website: https://www.substratum611.comShop Substratum 611: https://shop.substratum611.comSocial Media Links: https://www.substratum611.com/social-media-linksThis video is for entertainment purposes only.The focus is gaining clarity over agreement on different perspectives of various topics, with an emphasis on Continuous Improvement over Delayed Perfection.The views and opinions expressed in this video are those of the individual speakers and do not necessarily represent the perspectives of Substratum 611, any affiliated third parties, or the personal/professional affiliations of the speakers.

    You Have to Fail to Win, 1 Corinthians 13, and The Duality of Failure and Love

    This one's pretty free-form. Sun Tzu, Roosevelt, Tesla, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and the Bible. The thread connecting them: you have to fail to learn anything, and that's okay. Love (for yourself, for life) is what you build through all that failure.________________Website: https://www.substratum611.comShop Substratum 611: https://shop.substratum611.comSocial Media Links: https://www.substratum611.com/social-media-linksThis video is for entertainment purposes only.The focus is gaining clarity over agreement on different perspectives of various topics, with an emphasis on Continuous Improvement over Delayed Perfection.The views and opinions expressed in this video are those of the individual speakers and do not necessarily represent the perspectives of Substratum 611, any affiliated third parties, or the personal/professional affiliations of the speakers

    Why Someone Else's Tone of Voice Hurts So Much (4K)

    This one's about how the way you say something can matter more than what you actually say. A couple references to studies on tone of voice, then gets into how guys tend to offer logical fixes for emotional problems while women often do the opposite — and why that creates friction. When someone's being vulnerable with you, don't rush to fix it. Just hold it carefully, like they handed you something fragile.Emotivity in the Voice: Prosodic, Lexical, and Cultural Appraisal of Complaining Speech: https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2020.619222Listen to your mother: Motivating tones of voice predict adolescents’ reactions to mothers: https://psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/dev0000827________________ Website: https://www.substratum611.com Shop Substratum 611: https://shop.substratum611.com Social Media Links: https://www.substratum611.com/social-media-links This video is for entertainment purposes only.
