I'm Maddie and my 7 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: name is Meg. Oh good job. You know, for as 8 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: much as you guys were talking before this, I didn't 9 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: think it was going to be a struggle to say 10 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: your own name. Made was going fast? Contacted? Really? I 11 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: don't if I contact was you are going to go first? 12 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: I thought it was you anyway. Miscommunication, guys, which is 13 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: what we need to talk about. Good segue, Meg, She's um. 14 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: This was kind of a spontaneous episode, basically the Glorious Maddie. 15 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: She's back from Queensland. Excuse me, sorry, well she's back 16 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: from darn but she had to travel through Queensland, Sunshine State, 17 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: the Sunshine Stay, Yeah, to get to Canberra. And the 18 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: other day she got back and she messaged me these 19 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: really questions and it's not really like a typical episode, 20 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: but I thought we'd answer some of them. Maybe we 21 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: should talk about what these questions are. Oh no, I'm 22 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: just an ad on by the way, thanks for yeah 23 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: of a twenty something You're wrong. No, she just might 24 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: ask me, so we thought we should. No, we value 25 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: your insights. Um, yeah, no, I've found these questions on TikTok. 26 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: There was this guy talking about like this college in Oxford. Um, 27 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: it's just a residential college. But in order to get in, 28 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: it's a very rigorous selection process and they make you 29 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: sit for three hour exams I think twelve hours in total. Yeah, 30 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: in total, it used to be five. And then you 31 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: have to have an interview where there's like fifty people 32 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: interviewing you, and they admit one to two people every year. 33 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: It's really really selective. That's you're information is from TikTok. 34 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: Why is it that selective? Because what do you get 35 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: out of it? Oh, because you get funding to do 36 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: research on whatever you want for seven years at Oxford 37 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: at Oxford. Yeah, no, I a different you're emphasizing yes 38 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: yet there huh. And then you're just living with other 39 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: people doing their seven years of research. But if only 40 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: do you get admitted, what about all those other people? 41 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: Where do they come from from? The college must only 42 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: have like twenty people. Yeah, but because you're there for 43 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: seven years, you really it takes a long time to 44 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: time fourteen people. So that's a pretty small college. It's 45 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: a very small Maybe ways would work, isn't it? Okay? 46 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: Second days? Maybe maybe when they set it up they 47 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 1: were like, you know what, we'll be generous. Well, let 48 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: like and then since then they've only been adding like 49 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: one or two people, and it takes a long time 50 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: to filter people out because they get seven years. Anyway, 51 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: there's no seven years. Maybe they know. I think what 52 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: happens is they have the people who like all the 53 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: rich kids who have to pay, and then this is 54 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: a scholarship for the ones who like can't pay, but 55 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: probably rich kids still get it. Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, 56 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: I mean I definitely could have looked at this college, 57 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: like beyond the TikTok that I watched, who cares? And well, 58 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: you know, I just want to fact check and not 59 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: be a culprit of spreading misinformation. Good. So basically on 60 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: this exam they ask a bunch of these like very 61 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: abstract intellectual questions. Yeah, I think that questions that really 62 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: kind of underpin the world humanity. Yeah, good things. And 63 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: they're very like into like, very intellect like his different fields. 64 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: And we thought we would answer some of the psychology 65 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: questions and see whether Meg, Mattie, and Gemma would get 66 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: into Oxford College. I really think that we would. Well, 67 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: we'll have to see, but maybe we should, like probably, 68 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: I should probably just give you guys more of an introduction. 69 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: So tell everyone how we met, get them, get them 70 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: familiar before we dive. So, Meg, how do we meet? Well, 71 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: we went to be in g together, but we weren't friends. Yeah, 72 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: and I think we both thought we hated each other. 73 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: I remember you told me like I thought you hated me, 74 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, I thought, Jemmy, 75 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: you hated me. No, I was so intimidated by intimidate 76 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: that's probably better word. Yeah, And then into so many 77 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: strong friendships. Yeah, I thought you hated me at the 78 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 1: and then last year, well, I don't even know how 79 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: was it. I don't know, is it to Nail or Jasmine? 80 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: Maybe we basically just hung out once it was here, 81 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: I remember, and I was like, we had a good 82 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: conversation in this lounge room of the street that let's 83 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: not be named, in their house and it's beautiful. Is 84 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: that where it was? And then we just a message 85 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: saying I really enjoyed that. Good, I remember this. Okay, 86 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: we actually talk about why we're doing that, because I 87 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: really wanted, no, I know exactly what what it was. 88 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: I drove you guys to mac h that that oh yeah, 89 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: and then can I tell the funny story? Okay? So 90 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: I was hadn't had anything to drink, so I drove 91 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: them to me and two others and Jasmine and Aaron. 92 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: Someone's birthday. It was someone someone's birthday, wasn't it. Yeah, 93 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: it was Jasmine's birthday. Yeah, that makes sense. And it 94 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: was a year ago based yeah, And so I drove 95 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: them up to it. We got McDonald's and then I 96 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: drove them up to black to Mountains and there were 97 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: these two people having sex in a car and I 98 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: was driving and Jasmine, I hate to call her out. 99 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 1: It wasn't just Jasmine, it was all all of you 100 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: guys just really wanted to see them having sex. We 101 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: would drive we were doing this loop like three or 102 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: four times. The windows were foggy, like I just felt 103 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: so bad because we kept driving past their car. And 104 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: every time we'd drive past their car Jasmine or one 105 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: of you would be like slowed down. Yeah, we slowed 106 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: down so much. I was at a stand still and 107 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: you guys are just staring at this car. But that's 108 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: how we met. Oh, you're gonna go back and find 109 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: the Well how about while you do that, Maddie, how 110 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: did how did we meet? Um? I think we had 111 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: chats at the NG. Yeah, but I think we both 112 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: did a lot of like extracurricular ship that like overlapped 113 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: bossy bossy Yeah, um what else? And you're a very chatty, 114 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: easy to talk to person. So yeah, I think you're 115 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: really easy to start off a friendship with. And that's 116 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: so nice. You're a good podcast statoo. Oh I found 117 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: the message Actually wasn't that whelming, Like, it wasn't very like, 118 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: but I think that's what stemmed our friendships. I hope 119 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 1: the footdown when I don't know what that means. I 120 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: was about my ex housemate, this satanic being who shall 121 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,679 Speaker 1: not be named, and I was, oh, yeah, I can't 122 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: even Yeah, anyway, that's what did you say?

Thanks 124 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: for driving also, and then yes, this is really detailed, 125 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: we might must know and we don't need to cut 126 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: it out. If people are listening to this, they want 127 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: to hear us. But also Meg and I lived together? 128 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: Are we do we do? Yeah? Well the Anny ways, 129 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: I was doing that Centain linkeding last night. It's like 130 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: any of your housemates couples, like are you are you 131 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: a couple with any of them? And it's just like 132 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: there's like three questions like meaning the same thing, but 133 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: they just wanted to check centinly oh sentient, Yeah, and 134 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: you have you participating activities that you would call yourself 135 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: a couple. So have you had sex with your do 136 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: you live with them in the same room? Do you 137 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: share expenses? There's so many questions about but we're not 138 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: a couple. I don't think if that's I'm definitely open 139 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: to having a conversation, if you know, if things shame. 140 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: I actually think if that's a definition of a couple, 141 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: me and Arianna would count as a couple. In sentient 142 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: it is, Yeah, me and Arianna would literally count as 143 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: a couple because we share expenses, like sometimes we sleep 144 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: in the same bed, like have cuddles, Like oh yeah, 145 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: they don't have anything like with the word like sexual 146 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: in it. So maybe both of us are a sexual 147 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: in their eyes. Okay, anyhow, let's move on. I think 148 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: this podcast episode is meant to be However, to be honest, like, 149 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: I just keep going, Well, we can stop it if 150 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: you guys want, But to be honest, like, I just 151 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 1: kind of just talk and there's a thing like it's 152 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: kind of my podcast. So I'm kind of like, if 153 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: you want to listen to this, you're happy to welcome 154 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: to listen to this. But it's also more like a 155 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: diary entry for me where I'm like the people I 156 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 1: bring on a people that are really important in my 157 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: life at the moment. Obviously guys are important to me. Stop. 158 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: So it's like as much as people might get entertainment 159 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: out of this, they can skip past this if they want, yes, 160 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: but also a journal thing. Yeah, it's more for me, 161 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: Like I know, my audience is not massive, Like, it's 162 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: just more that I get to have these great discuss 163 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: it's building, it's gradually increasing. But yeah, thanks for introducing yourself, guys. 164 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: So let's answer some of these questions that Maddie found 165 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: through her TikTok, some of the Oxford College entrance questions. 166 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: I feel like this is just going to be more 167 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: of a discussion, just because I feel like it's really 168 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: interesting to offer different perspectives and like deep dive into Yeah, definitely, 169 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: And I think that question is whether it's not really 170 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: a right or wrong No, yea, So please think about 171 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,319 Speaker 1: it as well. Yeah, let us know. Send us a 172 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: mesto on Instagram if you're woefully offended by anything we've said, 173 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: or if you just have an edition, if you have 174 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: an addition, if you agree with us. But if you 175 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: just agree, we don't want to hear it. Yeah. Yeah, 176 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: I'm just going to block you spam. Yeah, Okay, Meg 177 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: has the first question? Okay, yes, is the Internet changing 178 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: the ways in which we think? Good question. That's a 179 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: very broad question. I think it's obvious it is, but 180 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: but then I think it depends on how you narrow 181 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: it down, because like if you if you think about 182 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: Internet as an isolated concept, it's also expanded the way 183 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: we think about things as well. It's globalized like our world. 184 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: But are we are we including like big data and 185 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: algorithms into this question or are we talking more about 186 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: like the immense accessibility of information that the Internet is facilitated, 187 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: or there's that one example. Have you watched the Social 188 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: your dilemma. Yeah, how like there's like if you are 189 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: like far left or far right, and then you like 190 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 1: that if I don't know how it is, if you 191 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: vote or if you just follow a lot of like 192 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: like far right politicians, then you get like into this 193 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: spiral if you follow like center right, and then it 194 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 1: takes you on a rabbit hole to an event you 195 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: see other views. You can never see other views. So 196 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: it's like, so it does kind of change the way 197 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: we think because it's like now I feel like previously 198 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: opinions were more up for discussion, whereas if you spend 199 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: a lot of time on the internet, especially as we 200 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: all did last year, when we all inside our homes, 201 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: it's actually harder to get a diverse opinion on things, 202 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: and especially like you can kind of cherry pick the 203 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: information that you want rather than and also it's so 204 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: accessible to find evidence for your own opinion, whereas previously 205 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: you have to go read a textbook, you have to 206 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 1: go to the library. But that's like, yeah, you're kind 207 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: of forced to read more diverse. That's a good point though, 208 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: because like I feel like with the Internet and like 209 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: would you call technology coming on? I know, like the 210 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: generations of like ten year olds now can't think for 211 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: themselves because they've got phones to search up on Google. 212 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: Like when we were ten, we fucking had us. We 213 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: had to go out and like, you know, make up ideas. Yeah, 214 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: literally we had to think for ourselves. And that's actually 215 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: like I always think about this. I'm like, are we 216 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: going to lose our like process of this is a 217 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 1: bit you know what I mean? We can just search 218 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: on Google, like get our phone literally in our pocket 219 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: for like ten seconds. Yeah. Also it reduces how we 220 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: entertain our how commy thinking is going to be. Like, actually, 221 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: this can all be so summarized in the Netflix special. 222 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: Yeah is that Welcome to the Internet. I watched it. 223 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: I didn't know. I think, yeah, anything and everything all 224 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: of the time. Yeah, that is the one that with 225 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: the the well you yes, and I watched it, but 226 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, you were like, but I think 227 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: that's a really good point. Also make kind of off 228 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: like what you were saying, because there's more accessibility of 229 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: information as well. It means that all these people who 230 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: previously wouldn't have gone and read text books, wouldn't have 231 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: gone and read gone and borrowed books from the library 232 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't have gone to like saloons or like gone into 233 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: lectures or gone to university now actually have access to information. 234 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: So it changes the way that we think in that 235 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: like more people are actually like accessing information who previously 236 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 1: wouldn't have. That's a good point. But then the downside 237 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: of that is that the information that they're accessing can 238 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: sometimes actually be les reduced cognition, because yeah, it's misformation. 239 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 1: That's a completly other point. But yeah, Madie's got a 240 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: She was like going, she's just sprinted. We didn't get 241 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: any I do get criticized around here all the time. Yes, No, 242 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: it just reminded me of this book that I'm reading 243 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: at the moment by Thomas Friedman. R Thomas Friedman. No, No, 244 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: he's American. Heals it's a very Jewish name. I actually 245 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: know Milton Friedman. I got a guy sexy. But anyway, 246 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: he kind of talks about the whole concept of the 247 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: book is that technology is accelerating at a quicker pace 248 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: than our kind of social ability and the ability of 249 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: our institutions to adapt to those changes. And the section 250 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: I was reading just this afternoon, so this is super wow. Yeah, 251 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: weird and coincidental is about social media and the Internet, 252 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: and he points out, no, no, no, I'm not going 253 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: to read. Yeah, I'm going to read the entire book. 254 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: Sit Down, ladies and gentlemen. This is the beginning of 255 00:14:54,920 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: my career. Okay, okay, some sorry, But with the Internet, 256 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: we don't know how to deal with rumors. Rumors that 257 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: confirm people's biases are now believed and spread among millions 258 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: of people. Second, we create our own echo chambers, which 259 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: we've kind of touched on. A Third, online discussions quickly 260 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: descend into angry mobs. For it became really hard to 261 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: change our opinions. Is what you post online you're someone. Yeah, 262 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: and on a bit of a tangent like the celebrities 263 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: and asserting their political views. I feel like there's a 264 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: bit of a discussion about this and people are like, oh, 265 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: they should stand out for this issue and that not 266 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: um whatnot. But I actually think it's really really hard 267 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: to maintain your political integrity once you stand up for 268 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: one thing. And yeah, the Internet preserve change. We actually 269 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: humans hate change so like naturally because the change is hard, 270 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: right as in like we all like I think, all 271 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: three of us very but it requires new adapts. Yeah, 272 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: Like change is good and we need it, but also 273 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: like that actually, like the Internet kind of like makes 274 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: us be more stagnant in a way because we like 275 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: can't change what we think and change. I would actually 276 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: disagree with you because I find that the algorithm just 277 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: in like my personal growth has actually really adapted to 278 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: the way that my life has changed. Like yeah, previously, 279 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: like when I was in a relationship, I get a 280 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: lot of like I'm just going to use the example 281 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: of Instagram reels, like just because it's in my mind, 282 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: like Instagram. So the Instagram algorithm almost I find adapts 283 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: to what my interests are in the it kind of 284 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: leads into that thing where I get a bit of 285 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: an epistepic echo chamber because I just put this data 286 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: in it. It just gives it straight back. Do you 287 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: think that your echo chamber is better or more justified, 288 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: because because it's but it's not if you think it's 289 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,119 Speaker 1: a more educated one. I don't, Okay, So that's interesting. 290 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: So I think that the TikTok's and the reels that 291 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 1: I get a like very spiritual, very new age that's 292 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: what you're feeling at the moment, Yeah, very fitness orientated 293 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: very like I said, spirituality, but I don't have much 294 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: political content. But it means that if that's the main 295 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: platform that I consume my news from on my media from, 296 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: obviously I do like read the news and do other things, 297 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: but like it's the main online platform I use. The 298 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: only information I'm getting from it is just stuff that 299 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: like reinforces all the things I already already yeah, already believe. 300 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: But why did you get do you when that first 301 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,199 Speaker 1: come up? Did you search out? When was it you? 302 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 1: Like I really want to get into Like no, it's 303 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: like just one of them would come up, you like it, 304 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: and then you know, in a couple of weeks two 305 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: of them come up, like both of those. So it 306 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: like adapts to the way that you're mindships, which I 307 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: find good because if you have to search up in 308 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:50,959 Speaker 1: the first place, you know what I mean, Like if 309 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: you've got so I've come back to camera and it's 310 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 1: like a full new thing and I have to search 311 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: out like you know what, not what TikTok is? You know, 312 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: like those kind of like randomness any idea that I'm reenterating, 313 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: Yeah from from like rural Victoria. Um no, I think 314 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: that it's the thing where it's like, you interact with 315 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 1: enough posts and like obviously occasionally you're going to like 316 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: run across one that is like more it's fine, we're 317 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: pouring someone, You're going to run across one that's more 318 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: like and you're like, oh, that's interesting. And then so 319 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: it builds to you. So but it's like both a 320 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: blessing and a curse, and that the person I want 321 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 1: to become is reinforced by the media I'm consuming. But 322 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,719 Speaker 1: I also see that if I was getting all of 323 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: my media or my news content from my phone, from 324 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: my from Instagram, from Facebook, how quickly it would be 325 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: just to like slip into one category of And I 326 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: think it's so insidious that you don't. It's very hard 327 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: to have the level of self awareness require. That's a 328 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 1: very good point, because my internet can really also, don't 329 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: you think it's interesting in our conversation about the Internet, 330 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 1: how immediately this conversation became about social media because we 331 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: associate so many of the problems that the Internet is 332 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 1: produced it is with social media. That's what about what 333 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: about the Internet? Like more broadly, if we look outside 334 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: of like the social media discussion, Yeah, I think also 335 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: it's changed the way that we can receive answers. I 336 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: don't know, it's funny because then I'm immediately going back 337 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: to social media. Like it's changed the way that we 338 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,959 Speaker 1: receive gratification. So previously, if we had a question, if 339 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: we were seeking knowledge, if we were seeking stimulation, it 340 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 1: will take a bit more. But now we pick up 341 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: our phones, we go on the internet. It actually makes 342 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: that cognitive process. Like you were saying, man, yeah, a 343 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: lot easy, a lot quicker. I so want to say 344 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: it because I was just thinking with social like not 345 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: just social with the Internet or any like news or 346 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 1: evidence thing on on Google whatever, Like I think it 347 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: really favors people who are more self aware of what 348 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: you were saying, Maddie, and like intellectual, Like if I 349 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: know so many people who have different like range of 350 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: skills and arnas like you know, university and Caden stuff, 351 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: and they like they get sucked in really bad and 352 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 1: like scammed, Like that's a bad case, you know, Like 353 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: it really the internet really Like I don't know, I 354 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: just find it's really like what's the word doesn't not 355 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: just like it, I don't know what the word is. 356 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: Benefit it kind of like people who can get sucked in. 357 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: But who depending on who you are, you know, like yeah, 358 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: it favors people who are more like the other questions 359 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: on this list was, um is do Internet users have 360 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: equal equality? Equality equal? Not? No way? Think yeah what 361 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: you're saying, Yeah, that's what that Also, it depends on 362 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: what you use the Internet for, because I feel like 363 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: it almost almost replicates a class structure that exists in 364 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: real life. Like if use the Internet for academic purposes 365 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: like we would be doing, or for research purposes, or 366 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: for work purposes, you know, your experience with the Internet, 367 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: you would probably see it more as a tool. Whereas 368 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: if you were someone who is getting scammed, if you 369 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: were someone whom perhaps the Internet is showing you all 370 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: the things that you can't be, or you know, perhaps 371 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: you're growing up in a rural community or in a 372 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: poorer community, like the internet, yeah it would be beneficial 373 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: to you, but it might also it's more just probably 374 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: just be like a not entertainment, you know, like you 375 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,959 Speaker 1: just go on there to sddictive because you're not nothing else, 376 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,120 Speaker 1: You're real initially there's nothing to do, so you just 377 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: literally what else is there to do? There's no like see, 378 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: so you could say that it's changed the way that 379 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: we think in that sense because people don't really have 380 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: to sit with themselves, and that is such a big thing. 381 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: I find that where you're like in a bad mood 382 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: and you're like Instagram, we need to think of our 383 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: own thoughts. But we all we can't remember. Like talking 384 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 1: to a boss of mine a few years ago, and 385 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: he was like quite a bit older, and he was 386 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: talking about, like, um, breaking up with someone, and then 387 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: they had to take a really long bus ride back 388 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: to his place and it was like an hour and 389 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 1: a half or two hours on public transport, and he 390 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: had forgotten his headphones, and yeah, he was saying, you know, 391 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: in hindsight, I'm actually really glad that I didn't have 392 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: my headphones. I guess listening to music on Spotify is 393 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: not really it's enabled by this thought. Yeah, I do 394 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: that all the time. Like how much do we actually 395 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: with the creation of the Internet. And I guess we 396 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: could make the argument for radio and things like that, 397 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: but now that it's compact, it follows you everywhere that 398 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: we've got mobile phones and the Internet, it's like a distraction. Yeah, 399 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: how often are you alone? And has it changed the 400 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: way we if were like kind of going back to 401 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: the actual question, like has it changed the way that 402 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: we think? Like, yeah, has it made us less resourceful? Um? Well, 403 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: because you know we have Google maps, yeah, fingertips and 404 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: obviously there's a lot of dialogue about how it's changed 405 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: our attention span. Well that's where I was kind of heading, 406 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: is like I was thinking, we'll just then that just 407 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: came up to me, like you know, the reason when 408 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: I might get really anxious or like you overthink things, 409 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 1: which is very common these days. Well, maybe that's because anyway, 410 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,479 Speaker 1: we won't go there, but like, is it because like 411 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: if I use like the Internet and like Spotify music 412 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: to like distract myself. But like you know, back in 413 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 1: the day, back you know, forty years ago, how did 414 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 1: people work with their overthinking thoughts? Like how do they 415 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: work with their anxieties? I don't know. I just like 416 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: that's like I'm really interesting with the anxiety thing because 417 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: I think it's kind of ironic that the Internet really 418 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: created a lot of services that should inherently reduce anxiety 419 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: but have actually exacerbated it. It's like the self, what's 420 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: the image the body? You know, body image and yeah, 421 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 1: like things like that we're also Internet as a means 422 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: for comparison with anything in your life. It's like we 423 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 1: do kind of keep shifting onto social media means of comparison. 424 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: But I actually might make an argument that it actually 425 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: has improve the way we think because it's increased the 426 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: possibilities that people feel they have. Yeah, that's a good point, 427 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: but also it's expanded your worldview. It's back to like 428 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: the spiral of like if you're aware of that, or 429 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 1: if you go down the case like, oh, I don't 430 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: like I see that skiing and unengotally like imagine there's 431 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: like someone in you know, like we've been using this 432 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: rural example because I feel like that's a real benefit 433 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: for people who are in like centers of not the 434 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: Internet is really useful for them. Imagine, you know, being 435 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: able to see that like university is a possibility and 436 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: not having to be connected with someone to the university. 437 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: You know, there are scholarships like, Yeah, it's changed the 438 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: way we think and that like it has expanded our 439 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: options but also limited them or narrowed like home of 440 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: the Mint to perhaps a specific thing when we think 441 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: about political opinions, but it's also expanded how we think 442 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: and that we see that more things are available to us, 443 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: But I think at the same time it's a double 444 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,719 Speaker 1: edged sword and that we definitely do realize there's greater possibility, 445 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 1: is almost overwhelmed with choice, but at the same time 446 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: we realize how utter disposability. Oh, because I was wondering 447 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 1: when this is going to turn like really existential. I 448 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: learned that word in French last week. I think I 449 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 1: can't say it's existentially You'll get there, but I couldn't. 450 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: I had to search out what it was. Wait. Wait, 451 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: back to Maddie's existential point. How disposable we are? Yes, 452 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: because I think that a lot of a lot of 453 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: labor can be really really easily outsourced through software through 454 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: the Internet now, whereas previously that would have been sourced locally. Yeah. 455 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: But also it's like that's allowed industry to expand and 456 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: allowed production to expand. Very that's very capitalist. Yeah, but 457 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 1: if we're thinking about like how it's changed the way 458 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,239 Speaker 1: you think, Like I think, if you were growing up 459 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: pre Internet, you being kind of one of the best 460 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: in your field, in your town or your city, your area, 461 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: wherever you lived, like that was really impressive. Yeah, part 462 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: of your identity impressive and um, yeah, but with the 463 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 1: Internet now you're so much more aware of you know, 464 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: the software developer on the other side of the world, 465 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: who is better than Yeah, like it's more international. Yeah, yeah, 466 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 1: it's not really at all related. What is It's like, 467 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: you know, when like countries interfere, this is a whole 468 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,239 Speaker 1: different There are so many facets to this question when 469 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: countries interfere, Like I don't like an example of like 470 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: in the Middle East, when like American interfere, you know, 471 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: like things like that. It's like globalization in that sense. 472 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: Is that I don't really know much about this topic. 473 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, And because there's a question on this 474 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: exam that was like is international development AID good? Yeah, 475 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 1: like that kind of like because we're being globalized, that's 476 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: able to happen. But also how does it is it 477 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: used for manipulation as well, like foreign interest political reasons 478 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: rather than just humanitarian Well, I feel like we're going 479 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 1: in a rabbits off or should do next the next question? Okay, 480 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: which question do you have? Meg? Well? Who asked that question? 481 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: Do you want to ask a question? Maddie? Ye? Oh, 482 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 1: actually I can I ask one. Yeah, this one's like 483 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: a little bit misk Okay, it's kind of a bit 484 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: of a change, and it's very same thing. Yeah, okay, 485 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 1: who is the most overrated figure in your discipline? Oh? 486 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 1: I think you're eager to talk about this the reason 487 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: I ask it? Yeah, I just want to like talk 488 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: shit about people in my side, not like people I know, 489 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: but like in psychology and philosophy. But I think is 490 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: so overrated. Like, Okay, firstly, Adam Smith, Like, oh my god, 491 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: you know there is more to political thinking than some 492 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: white guy who fucking Scottish. Is Scottish, why he was, 493 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: why he was from Glasgow, he was on Calculi or 494 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: something like. That's old. Well though he's dead yet I'm 495 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: saying still alive, I'm saying century. Yeah. Like, I just 496 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: think that, like Adam Smith is so overrated. Rational thought 497 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: so overrated, the emphasis on self interest so overrated, and 498 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: every single course I always learn about it, and I'm 499 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: just like, really, can we retire the idea that this 500 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: one person is like the forefather of every single economic 501 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: and political thought that we've ever had. In his hair 502 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: as well? Oh lame, He's like, I just I just 503 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,919 Speaker 1: feel like we need to have more of a diversity 504 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: of thinkers. The other one who I really sorry, I'm 505 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,719 Speaker 1: just like kind of ranting. Say a quote from him, 506 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, all money is a matter of belief. 507 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: Why is it about money? Am I just singing? He's 508 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: an economist money, Yeah, so it makes sense. Anyway. He 509 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: has a second Well, here's this huge emphasis on self interest, 510 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: which I do think is rational, like to the belief, 511 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: but just annoys me. I'm sure mad do you find 512 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: this as well? With like Ppe, Yeah, I know, he's 513 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: definitely hammad On Hammered. Yeah. The second one is like, 514 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: there are all these psychologists who I just like, Hey, 515 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: John Watson and Bef Skinner an example, Yeah, you know 516 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: him right, I know him from she How do you 517 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: know him from Shella Combs? John Watson? Who's that? He's like, 518 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: I've not Sherlock t one b they live together. Oh 519 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: that's cute. Yeah. Anyway, there's Arthur Conan Doyle, an overrated figure. 520 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: Nont no, Okay, I'm learning so much. But yeah, there's 521 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: also like this huge emphasis on like behaviorist psychologists in 522 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: the field of psychology, and it really shits me because 523 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: I'm like, every course you learn about it, it's like, yes, 524 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: they understood how like behavior and learning occur, but like, 525 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: can we maybe what's an example? Okay, so um, they 526 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: have skinner did like these boxes with ruts in them, 527 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: and he learned that, like I haven't known that yet, 528 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: conditioned unconditioned stimulus. It's great, but it just gets like 529 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: overplayed and it just feel like there are so many 530 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: more creative ideas that have come out in the last 531 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: like one hundred years or fifty years that are actually 532 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: provided much better explanation than these experiments. And it's like, oh, 533 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: I also just I think it's that general issue where 534 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,479 Speaker 1: I'm just like getting very frustrated that in a lot 535 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: of my university courses they only teach about white male 536 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: well research, isn't it? Like this is okay, this is 537 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: another thought thought for my brother a bit, like the 538 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: university is actually quite right wing, Like do you think yes, 539 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: like the actual This is what he's I've thought about 540 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: it a bit, but like like the actual, like it's 541 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: a it's a huge structure. Of course it's right wing, 542 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like the actual it's right wing. 543 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: I think no, I think like that. I don't know. 544 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: This is like his random brain thoughts, but like the 545 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: not the teaching because I'm doing various science, so that 546 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: obviously isn't right wing, but like, um, the actual teaching style, 547 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, I'll have to do some more recent 548 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: it's a conservative too. Yeah, yeah, it's like yeah, and 549 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: like we're learning about Yeah, we're literally it's very repetitive 550 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: and like it's structured. It's so structured, and it's all 551 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: based on like ideas of like fifty seventy, even hundreds 552 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: of years ago that haven't been corrected, haven't been changed 553 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: even when they've been proven to be incorrect, even when 554 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,239 Speaker 1: better explanations offered, And a lot of these people are 555 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: very like it's very conservative. They're all very traditional. I think. 556 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: I do think the teaching is quite conservative, and that 557 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: I don't think they've adapted to the needs of society 558 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: and the kind of job market that we're entering, because 559 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: they think that they universities are still somewhat living in 560 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: the past where people were qualified with a certain skill 561 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: and they use that skill in their career, which really 562 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: carried them through a lifetime. Are going to have a 563 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: lot of different careers and in order to stay up 564 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: to date and and be kind of climb the ranks 565 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: in whichever workforce you're in. It does require lifelong learning, 566 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: and I don't think the university has adapted that, and 567 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: I think they're conservative in that sense. But to go 568 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: back to the original question, thank you for yes, who 569 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: is an overrated person? You're in your discipline? Like, and 570 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: I think you'll agree with me on this gamma because 571 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: we both do ppe economics is really really outdated. Yeah, 572 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: and so they still it's like my mom was showing 573 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: me some of hers like rational man, rational economic man, 574 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: like self interest. That's that's it. It's very very exclusionary 575 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: find I know that, Oh god, you're absolutely right. And 576 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: they teach these same models thinking that they've adapted. It's 577 00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: like these models were created like fifty years ago. Really 578 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: really really outdated. Concept that stands out to me so 579 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 1: much in economics is that when it comes to environment, 580 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: there was the kind of traditional response to that was like, oh, well, 581 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: the free market when when a resource is overused and overconsumed, 582 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: the free market will naturally like redirect us to other 583 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: sources of production and it doesn't understand the idea of 584 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: like exhaustion or yeah. Yeah, and you're just kind of 585 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: sitting there like, well, yes, it's our cohole industry. Yeah, 586 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: it's like, oh yeah, interesting all the other idea it's like, 587 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: oh yeah, if we lose jobs in one place, they'll 588 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 1: be created elsewhere. So yeah, everything always reaches an equilibriumrchment. 589 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: But then you would use that argument in favor of 590 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: free trade. Yeah yeah, but wait, what do you mean? 591 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: So but then I feel like you're using it as 592 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,959 Speaker 1: a negative argument. I'm using it now. Well, what I'm 593 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: saying is that it's not true, like especially in isolated 594 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: industry industries or in an isolated community like Australia, whether 595 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: like it suggests that when people lose jobs in one area, 596 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,439 Speaker 1: new jobs are always created elsewhere. So so we shut 597 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 1: down skill set. That's what you were saying about their 598 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,360 Speaker 1: skill set, you know, four year old skill set. They 599 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 1: only have like a sense right, we will be owing. 600 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 1: Economics is very much like the market fixes everything, yes, itself, 601 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: and those new industries, new avenues for disenfranchised people will 602 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,359 Speaker 1: be forced to open. And this is where you come 603 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 1: to that big cleavage between left and right wing economics, 604 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: because when you get on the left wing, it says no, no, no, 605 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 1: you need the government at that point to step in 606 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 1: and like offer offer opportunities for upskilling or reskilling so 607 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 1: that people can have greater labor migration. Um. And so 608 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 1: I think in really overrated person in the field of 609 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 1: economics would be Gregory. Gregory Magory Manque. Yeah, he wrote 610 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: we didn't do my chro economics in the same year, 611 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 1: but he wrote the textbook that I used from Macro. Oh. Yeah, 612 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: I didn't use a textbook because I was just like, 613 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: this is all pretty simple. Yeah, no, that's fair. I 614 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: received it. Also, you know what, I definitely done something 615 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: that I would have paid money funny for. No. Also, 616 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,800 Speaker 1: I ask anyone who was also at the A and 617 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:24,240 Speaker 1: you when you watch an economics lecture, watch every single lecture. 618 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: You would never see a picture of a woman. Dana 619 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: Dana's lecturer. But I'm saying in the slides, yeah, you 620 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 1: will never see a picture of a woman. It's all like, 621 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: I don't know, I keep going back to this very 622 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: feminist critique, but it's always you know, you know, how 623 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: how the you know, when they thought of the concept 624 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 1: of GDP, they did try to work out how to 625 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: include domestic labor into that equation, but they were like, noah, 626 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 1: it's too hard to measure. So they just didn't. They 627 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 1: were like where I could ask, like I don't know 628 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 1: someone who understands this, and they're like, no, no, we 629 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: won't ask a women. The dramatic they weren't they they'd 630 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 1: yes when they're not scientific. Yeah, exactly, just the academic 631 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 1: in the kitchen sad speaking, which we probably need to 632 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: clean the kitchen or something. Oh god, no, it's anti 633 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 1: feminist to clean in this room. We are surrounded by 634 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 1: the matriarchy. Oh you really are. There's literally like it 635 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 1: always comes down to genda, comes down to genda. I 636 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:51,280 Speaker 1: hope you and it's over our Oh that's really good. Yeah, congratulations, 637 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 1: all right, next question, next question question? Um, oh, okay, 638 00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,360 Speaker 1: so there was was it not your go? No? I 639 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,800 Speaker 1: had that. No, it is mad he wants to go. 640 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: There were there were questions so we could do the 641 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: round for oh yeah, the or the death community or 642 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 1: I feel like we can't really talk on that because 643 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 1: none of us we're not we're a third party. Well 644 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,400 Speaker 1: that's the question, but that's not a question on the 645 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: list exactly what question you're going to ask, But is 646 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 1: it a question question? The question is like, can we 647 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:36,719 Speaker 1: make commentary on like things the government he does none 648 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 1: of them are blinders. Their far they you know, some 649 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:48,800 Speaker 1: of them. I think that. Okay, I thought, well if 650 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 1: people yes, so what they called people that stand on 651 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: behalf of people advocates? I found a good psychology question. 652 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 1: There is evidence that people give more to charity when 653 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: asked by someone wearing a designer label, what should we 654 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: make of this Gucci? Are they like saying that people 655 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,840 Speaker 1: I would immediately? Are they saying that people with designer 656 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 1: labels are more trustworthy? You know what? Mere good? But 657 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,840 Speaker 1: why are they more trustworthy because they're rich? Yeah? Like 658 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 1: have the stigma about and is it like, oh, well, 659 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 1: this rich person is asking me to give money to charity, 660 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 1: so they probably give money to charity and that's an 661 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 1: indication of wealth. And I want to seem wealthy and 662 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: I want to seem wealthy. Yeah, I want more tax deduction. Yeah. 663 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,799 Speaker 1: I think Meg's point is really good. It's like if 664 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: we see someone wearing nice clothes, where we trust them, 665 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 1: we believe that they'll be honest. It's like our whole 666 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,320 Speaker 1: values in Australia and Western society are based on like 667 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: success with the success and money. So many money aspects 668 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: are like that kind of concept. I feel like you 669 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: can extrapolate to so many different aspects of life. It's 670 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 1: kind of the same idea that underpins the whole. It's 671 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 1: not creepy of their heart. Oh yeah, when there was 672 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 1: attractive people do better in job interviews. Yeah, it was 673 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,399 Speaker 1: a study in psychology. I just learned that last week 674 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,319 Speaker 1: actually about if people do better in jobs. No, no, yeah, 675 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 1: And if you are a vehicle attractive person, you trust 676 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: them more because they're attracting, and so a designer label 677 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 1: could be seen as attractive like more culturally because it's like, yes, 678 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 1: an indication is such a beautiful that. There was this 679 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,360 Speaker 1: Netflix show that I watched earlier this year called The Serpent, 680 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,360 Speaker 1: and it was about this guy that like murdered a 681 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: bunch of backpackers in like the sis. It wasn't that 682 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,240 Speaker 1: he was hot, it was that he was a fellow foreigner. 683 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 1: And I feel like when more traveler, you in that 684 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 1: group's more inclined to trust a fellow foreigner than you 685 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 1: are a local person. And that's sutually. I just had 686 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 1: a thought, Wow, apparently in Vietnam, in the Saigon, this 687 00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,360 Speaker 1: is such a tangent. No, in Vietnam, in Sigon, this 688 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 1: is not in any touristy area in like Southeast Age 689 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,479 Speaker 1: or wherever. The touristy area is the one where people 690 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: get drink sparked. It's not the local area because it's 691 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 1: always the tourists are because people are like, oh, they're 692 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 1: fucking tourists, like dumb ass people. Yeah they're rich, but 693 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 1: they're so unaware of the culture around them at the moment. 694 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 1: But that's interesting because it is such a designer clothes 695 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,480 Speaker 1: Like maybe maybe if you've got someone in the designer 696 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 1: clothes are asking you to give money, it feels less 697 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 1: like they're begging for money. Oh oh my god, because 698 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,439 Speaker 1: it's less like they don't need it. But like, oh 699 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,800 Speaker 1: my god, that's so true. That means it's like the 700 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 1: rich people always own the business, you know what I mean, 701 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 1: they're giving it to someone rich. I don't know if 702 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 1: that makes sense, but no, I do. I do know 703 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 1: what you mean. I was also going to say, it's 704 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:46,919 Speaker 1: an idea of in groups and our groups. So people 705 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 1: who are wearing people who are wearing like designer labels, 706 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,239 Speaker 1: you form this kind of in group that a you 707 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:54,799 Speaker 1: also want to be a part of. Yeah, you want 708 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 1: to be a part of and you can see that, yeah, 709 00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: or Western society want and the way that you can 710 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 1: and seem like you're part of the group is by donating. 711 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 1: You know. That's firstly like the social pretense of wanting 712 00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:10,320 Speaker 1: to be wanting to appear wealthy. But secondly it's the 713 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 1: thing of like I could be this person if I 714 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: gave more generously, like I don't look like the individual. 715 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,879 Speaker 1: If I give more generously, like a very giving like generous, yeah, 716 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 1: or this is a rich people give, I'm going to 717 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 1: give and then I'll be wealthy like or you know, 718 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 1: I'll track. That's that's rude, not rude, But it's like 719 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 1: the people. It's not the people who are being there, 720 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,759 Speaker 1: what you call the advocates for these charities. It's not 721 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:40,239 Speaker 1: their fault, but like like they're they're calling on individuals 722 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 1: that like us, who are definitely not rich people like 723 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 1: there are billionaires that could donate like one thousand times 724 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 1: that what we could donate, but they call upon like 725 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 1: individuals like us. You know, you see people in the 726 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 1: you know, like I don't know, like well visioned in 727 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 1: the supermarket, in civic you know, and they calling on 728 00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 1: people like as I just had a really good idea 729 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,479 Speaker 1: oh my god, Okay, another that fast. If they're wearing 730 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: designer labels, it makes the company look more trustworthy because 731 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 1: it makes them look more professional. It makes them look 732 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 1: like they know how to spend their money more. It 733 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 1: makes them look more capable because if their employees or 734 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,879 Speaker 1: the people who are who are asking for money look 735 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,800 Speaker 1: like those that are a symbol of wealth and a 736 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 1: symbol of doing well, you might think like they actually 737 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 1: know what they're doing, because if this rich person is 738 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,399 Speaker 1: supporting them, a rich person isn't going to waste their money. 739 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,880 Speaker 1: But then I would think, like if I saw someone 740 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:36,359 Speaker 1: working for like I don't know, what's a good world vision, yeah, 741 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 1: like and they were wearing design clothes, I'd be like, wow, 742 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 1: fast fashion, Yeah, are these clothes made the same. But 743 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,839 Speaker 1: I'd actually trust someone who's wearing like not like who 744 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 1: was still clean that who was wearing like ethically made 745 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 1: clothes or like secondhand clothes, because oh my god, they 746 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,279 Speaker 1: actually care, like you know about fast not this is 747 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,640 Speaker 1: about fast fashion, but you know about like that's still 748 00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: in in in what's a word, like less economically developed countries. 749 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,920 Speaker 1: You know, I think it's always about experiences and what 750 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 1: appearance of the company attracts, like what you're attracted to, 751 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,279 Speaker 1: what the audience is of the company advertiser if he 752 00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 1: wants a company that you think is trustworthy, or like 753 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 1: if you want one that seems ethical, Like, how do 754 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 1: you navigate that in terms of presenting a brand? What 755 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:25,880 Speaker 1: was the question charity? Sorry, oh I forgot there. We 756 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 1: were on a big I don't know. That's fine. It 757 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 1: wasn't one that I initially kind of flagged to do um, 758 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 1: but then it popped up and I thought, oh, that's 759 00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,839 Speaker 1: a bit of psychology. It was, Yes, it was why 760 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:43,759 Speaker 1: are we more likely to donate to charity by people 761 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 1: wearing yes? Oh? That it does relate to what we're saying, 762 00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 1: and complete tangent. We are on the right track with charity. 763 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,480 Speaker 1: We were kind of yeah, but I think that's a 764 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,560 Speaker 1: really interesting one. When was the last time you guys 765 00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,120 Speaker 1: don't edit to charity? I used to do it, Like 766 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 1: month they called me into doing a monthly thing to 767 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,040 Speaker 1: the woodenness. I knew you were going to say the 768 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 1: world in society. They fucking called me and they like 769 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 1: I was like, they're like, do five dollars. I was 770 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,359 Speaker 1: like yeah, And then he didn't say it was five 771 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,279 Speaker 1: dollars more than what I was paying, so I paid 772 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 1: fifteen dollars and I was like, and then I rang 773 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: up by canceled. I had to ring up because I 774 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,239 Speaker 1: couldn't do it online, and then they made me feel bad. Yes, 775 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,759 Speaker 1: probably I can't. I was like, I can't afford it. 776 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:29,400 Speaker 1: I'm a student. I always use that though. Oh um, 777 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:33,400 Speaker 1: when Darwin went into like the snap lockdown when I 778 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:37,719 Speaker 1: was home and the Fringe comedy festival that was the 779 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 1: week after got kind of pre emptively canceled, and they 780 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 1: gave you the offer to donate the money from your 781 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 1: tickets to charity.

Yeah, there's 814 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,840 Speaker 1: not that you can't. If you don't say the accent, 815 00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,000 Speaker 1: you're not free. It's like, what the fuck is this 816 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:19,040 Speaker 1: person doing. They're like, just we Vegan, Like you don't 817 00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,000 Speaker 1: say that she's Bee Megan, Like you just say it 818 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,439 Speaker 1: like nicely. That's part of the idea. Yeah, it's partly 819 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:27,200 Speaker 1: honesty exactly what do you want? No, but this morning 820 00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:32,560 Speaker 1: there was actually fourteen there was Yeah, it was I 821 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,359 Speaker 1: did yeah, and Jazz was asleep. I was like, surely 822 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,480 Speaker 1: jas is gonna wake up? Allowed I don't know. There's 823 00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,719 Speaker 1: one there, there's one every northeast southwest, never could be 824 00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,960 Speaker 1: weeks anyway, Oh very good. Um. But I remember when 825 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,080 Speaker 1: I used to speak when I when I was in Russia, 826 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:50,239 Speaker 1: I would like, my Russian was so Australian, so I'd 827 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:51,640 Speaker 1: be like I would just use like I would just 828 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,320 Speaker 1: say I speak Russian, and Russian says like, yeah, what 829 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:58,319 Speaker 1: do you want to say to me? But I would 830 00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:02,320 Speaker 1: say yeah, par Ski, Yeah, but you no one to 831 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,200 Speaker 1: you go over there, because I went French before I 832 00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,279 Speaker 1: went over, and I was like, so Australian. When I 833 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,000 Speaker 1: went over, I was like, fun, why am I saying this? 834 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:12,279 Speaker 1: So are you both saying that the different identity would 835 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,759 Speaker 1: come from the different accent. I feel like it's an 836 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,000 Speaker 1: indicative of the different identity you step into when you 837 00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:21,360 Speaker 1: go to The language is literally interconnected with identity. I 838 00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:25,399 Speaker 1: did see your twelve and I stick by it. Okay, 839 00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:27,160 Speaker 1: I didn't go that well in English, but I can 840 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,920 Speaker 1: try to explain it. Um. No, it's just like the 841 00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:34,200 Speaker 1: word we use, the syntax, the semantics, the meaning behind 842 00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:38,080 Speaker 1: everything we say, like like Aussie is like we shorten things, 843 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,799 Speaker 1: and that that in its way, it's like we say 844 00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,840 Speaker 1: like smoker when we say like servo or whatever, and 845 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,960 Speaker 1: that in its way is like we're like lazy. We 846 00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:50,920 Speaker 1: are we're lazy, and we're like, yeah, casual and lazy. 847 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,560 Speaker 1: I think um in a general like genuine, very generalized, 848 00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:59,120 Speaker 1: stereotypical way, but like um compared compared to like yeah French, 849 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:02,920 Speaker 1: where it's like eloquent, yeah, like it's sounding beautiful and 850 00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,200 Speaker 1: like all these like you say these sayings, like these 851 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,920 Speaker 1: phrases and because you say this, you know, like metaphors, 852 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,399 Speaker 1: you sound more, you're eloquent, more like that, And maybe 853 00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:15,360 Speaker 1: that's a part of I feel like it is you 854 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,600 Speaker 1: do have different identities because it's like what the language 855 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:22,120 Speaker 1: really shows what people value in that culture and even 856 00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,759 Speaker 1: the way of like forming sentences. I also feel like 857 00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:26,719 Speaker 1: when you step into a different culture and you speak 858 00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:29,200 Speaker 1: a different language, you start to identify with different people, 859 00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:33,080 Speaker 1: and just by inherent nature, you start to identify with 860 00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:37,000 Speaker 1: people of different backgrounds and of different like cultural values. 861 00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:44,759 Speaker 1: I'm getting hot, we're sitting next to the heater. Guys. 862 00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,320 Speaker 1: Now that actually that's a weird example because like in 863 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:51,080 Speaker 1: the Arab world, it's beauty for women is very big, 864 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,759 Speaker 1: like it's like, well, like to be fair, like there 865 00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,560 Speaker 1: isn't much natural like outdoorsy stuff, which is what I 866 00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,279 Speaker 1: would usually be into. So that even like the when 867 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:01,880 Speaker 1: I was over there, I like, obviously I don't I 868 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,000 Speaker 1: actually do like anyone nails and stuff, but I like 869 00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,200 Speaker 1: I would love and like everyone vibed getting their nails 870 00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,600 Speaker 1: and everyone vibed having their hair and makeup. Really now, 871 00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:11,560 Speaker 1: so it's like I can actually do this and I 872 00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:13,920 Speaker 1: don't like in Australia. I love to go in the 873 00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:15,960 Speaker 1: outdoors and I love to be you know you as 874 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,800 Speaker 1: you know, like all this sporty stuff in when I 875 00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:20,279 Speaker 1: was in the arab when I was in Jordan, I 876 00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,640 Speaker 1: was like, oh I can, like I don't. I can't 877 00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:24,600 Speaker 1: do that because there's no option to do that. I'll 878 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:29,120 Speaker 1: go to their culture and I'll do my hair. Yeah, yeah, 879 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,440 Speaker 1: I know. It was just like you feel more immersed 880 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 1: in it, and therefore you feel more like, yeah, all right, Maddie, 881 00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 1: you actually lived in China, so let's talk about her 882 00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,320 Speaker 1: to her. So we've all lived in the countries that 883 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,319 Speaker 1: we have. We speak a language job, so I feel 884 00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,480 Speaker 1: like it's kind of difficult because when when you're back 885 00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,000 Speaker 1: in Australia, I have not spoken Russian to anyone for 886 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,200 Speaker 1: about a year. It's so hard because the context of 887 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:51,239 Speaker 1: us is Shalan. Yeah, no one speaks Russian here. I 888 00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,480 Speaker 1: feel like when I first lived in China and I 889 00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:58,319 Speaker 1: didn't speak good Chinese at this point, and the job 890 00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:02,880 Speaker 1: that I had in Guangga back in twenty seventeen, I 891 00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,279 Speaker 1: was the only foreigner there and something that I really 892 00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:09,759 Speaker 1: struggled with linguistically was when people would ask me to 893 00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:16,000 Speaker 1: do things. Yeah, in in Chinese, and the requests sound 894 00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,279 Speaker 1: much more direct in Chinese they do in English because 895 00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,800 Speaker 1: in English, yeah, you don't just please and thank you 896 00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:28,160 Speaker 1: as often, and Chinese doesn't have as many pillow Well, yes, 897 00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:33,480 Speaker 1: the filler is like you please. I think we really 898 00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,040 Speaker 1: a a special piment. We love to head your language. 899 00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,920 Speaker 1: Really sorry, I'm sorry to bother, but if you have time, 900 00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:46,880 Speaker 1: could you really possible possible please if ye do this? 901 00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:50,680 Speaker 1: But something I also really thought about and just on 902 00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,359 Speaker 1: the accent topic quickly with like Chinese, I think it's 903 00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:57,200 Speaker 1: a whole um different ball game there because it's a 904 00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,200 Speaker 1: tonal language. So it's it's kind of like if you 905 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,600 Speaker 1: don't have of somewhat of a good accent, you're completely like, 906 00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:06,960 Speaker 1: actually don't you're understood, yeahs understood, Yeah you can't. So 907 00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,759 Speaker 1: being adopting the language means that like you do have 908 00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,640 Speaker 1: a different identitally because otherwise you can't communicate with people. 909 00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,000 Speaker 1: So it's like you have to do it because you 910 00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:19,399 Speaker 1: can't speak a language without having the accent basically the language. Yeah, 911 00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,400 Speaker 1: at least having I think I think you have less 912 00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:27,479 Speaker 1: flexibility with your pronunciation when it's a tonal language. Yeah, 913 00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,160 Speaker 1: what do they think? Like you know what I mean, Like, 914 00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,680 Speaker 1: what do French whip when we speak Aussie French? Like 915 00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:34,279 Speaker 1: do they like, oh if when we just when they 916 00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,279 Speaker 1: hear it, they would just think of it. They could 917 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,520 Speaker 1: understand what the fuck is it? But actually, can I 918 00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,160 Speaker 1: say this about what you were saying? Like when you 919 00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,160 Speaker 1: go to France or when I was in like Russia, 920 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,000 Speaker 1: and you know, the accent was such a huge part. 921 00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,759 Speaker 1: Perhaps people who were speaking French or people who were 922 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:52,239 Speaker 1: speaking Russian who come to Australia are equally like, oh 923 00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,279 Speaker 1: my god, I feel like I can't actually get into 924 00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,840 Speaker 1: this culture because the Aussies have such a strange Jackson. 925 00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,200 Speaker 1: That's why so important to travel and like understanding that 926 00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:02,239 Speaker 1: because we want stand if a French, if like a 927 00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:06,040 Speaker 1: you know whoever, like a international person came to Alan, 928 00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:08,160 Speaker 1: I'll be like, oh, that's so like they're speaking English, 929 00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 1: like that's amazing, you know, but they're like people like 930 00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,880 Speaker 1: to stand as He's like I often got that was 931 00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,520 Speaker 1: like when I was in Russia, Like people couldn't understand 932 00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:20,600 Speaker 1: my English. Like sometimes even though they suppose English, it's 933 00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,560 Speaker 1: was American or American American. That's a big problem and 934 00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,560 Speaker 1: then I'd be there like heavy on the vows as 935 00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:30,839 Speaker 1: much as as much the dialect interesting of Nash. Yeah, 936 00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,160 Speaker 1: do you find because when whenever I go back to Queensland, 937 00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:38,120 Speaker 1: my my Australian accident just like what's what? That's what? Like? 938 00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:40,680 Speaker 1: No ither when my brother went to queens and when 939 00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:44,920 Speaker 1: he came back his accident was so Queensland. I was like, Kay, 940 00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:46,840 Speaker 1: have you notice that when we were in Queensland was 941 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,239 Speaker 1: my accent stronger? Or did you not really notice? I 942 00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,759 Speaker 1: didn't notice. What you're gonna say, Maybe you had a 943 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:56,680 Speaker 1: point I thing. I wanted that down, yes, back down 944 00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:02,160 Speaker 1: to the ground and the movement. I find really interesting 945 00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:06,560 Speaker 1: about Chinese, particularly now that we're having a huge conversation 946 00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:10,440 Speaker 1: about pronouns, is that I've spoken Chinese. There is no 947 00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:16,960 Speaker 1: differentiation between men and women. Everyone is tart. Is that you? 948 00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:20,200 Speaker 1: Or is that he? She? Oh? Really that is cool 949 00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:25,279 Speaker 1: because everybody's complete its Yeah, it's everyone is tar. It's 950 00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:28,040 Speaker 1: only when you write like and you want to say 951 00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,759 Speaker 1: tar blah blah blah as in a woman that you 952 00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:35,600 Speaker 1: use a different use of female radical And interestingly, when 953 00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,080 Speaker 1: you use the tar character for a man, it's not 954 00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:43,239 Speaker 1: a male radical. It is the person radical because man 955 00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,680 Speaker 1: is the default human. And when you say they in 956 00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:52,080 Speaker 1: Chinese the default human in Chinese, or in Chinese, what's 957 00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,840 Speaker 1: the default human? Is it person? Like you know what 958 00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,760 Speaker 1: I mean? Because I'm referring to like, what's that object 959 00:54:57,880 --> 00:54:59,759 Speaker 1: over there? Associate it's a chair? Would you say that 960 00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:04,960 Speaker 1: most objects in a male or it or it is 961 00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:09,120 Speaker 1: not gender? But but the it is also tar. Oh yeah, 962 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:13,560 Speaker 1: but a different character because but so you don't use 963 00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:18,080 Speaker 1: that word that often in Chinese, because Chinese doesn't you 964 00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:22,960 Speaker 1: don't really repeat the subject first time, that doesn't really arise. 965 00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:25,400 Speaker 1: But when you want to say like they and you 966 00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:29,279 Speaker 1: use the tar character plus the character that indicates like 967 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:35,480 Speaker 1: like the plurality, you use the male tar character and 968 00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:41,320 Speaker 1: something as well, words like like jealousy in Chinese, that 969 00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:45,000 Speaker 1: that has a female radical, And I think that's interesting. 970 00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,280 Speaker 1: So that a cultural I don't wonder if that shapes 971 00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:52,000 Speaker 1: the way that you think about gender. But yeah, English, Yeah, 972 00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,879 Speaker 1: that's good. That's actually been researched quite like a lot. 973 00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:58,480 Speaker 1: It's like the gender like the genders of certain nouns 974 00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,320 Speaker 1: French Enguish shapes because English doesn't have genders, does it 975 00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:06,760 Speaker 1: not really like you say, like you know, like vehicles 976 00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:09,279 Speaker 1: or cheese and you're like or in that sense. No, 977 00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:12,239 Speaker 1: but it's like you know, like I like lamp over there, 978 00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:18,080 Speaker 1: I'm it's not hurt in Italian, like lamp might be feminine. 979 00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,680 Speaker 1: Yeah in French yeah, or like whatever. And I don't 980 00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,600 Speaker 1: know like the radical or what about the but like 981 00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:25,880 Speaker 1: English doesn't have it, but then English, I feel like 982 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:32,080 Speaker 1: every English speaking country there's definitely gender issues. Yeah, but 983 00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,920 Speaker 1: I searched up what are the matria I remember this, 984 00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,480 Speaker 1: What are the matriarchies in like the world. Yeah, I 985 00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,719 Speaker 1: can't remember. There was one in like Tibet kind of 986 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,400 Speaker 1: China area. I just remember that somewhere there there was 987 00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,399 Speaker 1: like a huge matriarchy society. Yeah, that's one in East 988 00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:49,880 Speaker 1: Africa as well. Yeah. Like it's really cool as a 989 00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:53,480 Speaker 1: psyche kind of talking about psychology like and linguistics and 990 00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,640 Speaker 1: the intersection between linguistics and even sociology, like doing a 991 00:56:56,680 --> 00:57:00,920 Speaker 1: triple discipline on this on this topic, heaps of fun, 992 00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,960 Speaker 1: but like it would be really really interesting to think 993 00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:09,040 Speaker 1: about perspectives on gender and respect around gender and gender 994 00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:11,880 Speaker 1: hierarchy based on how language treats it, which kind of 995 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:16,480 Speaker 1: comes into cultural identity like oh yeah, yeah, so interconnected. 996 00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,840 Speaker 1: Like the language you use is like we were talking 997 00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:22,400 Speaker 1: about with the deaf blind thing, language is primarily your 998 00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:25,680 Speaker 1: main mode of communication. So and it becomes almost like 999 00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:29,120 Speaker 1: unconscious and implicit. So if your language is treating a 1000 00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:32,680 Speaker 1: gender in a certain way, even just in its semantics, 1001 00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:35,160 Speaker 1: how does that translate or where did that come from? 1002 00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:39,640 Speaker 1: Really gets like in Russia and it's like, oh, it's 1003 00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:43,680 Speaker 1: just like everything is gendered. Everything is gender object. It's 1004 00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,840 Speaker 1: a female object now like they is it in arig 1005 00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:49,960 Speaker 1: it's they sheet or they have the distinction between genders 1006 00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,400 Speaker 1: is so much stronger. Yeah, but how would you if 1007 00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,120 Speaker 1: you were like I'm like, what's the word non binary? 1008 00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,160 Speaker 1: Like equi any other languages? That's just another thing? How 1009 00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,720 Speaker 1: would you become You wouldn't have an identity in another 1010 00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,640 Speaker 1: language because you're not a you're not that, you're not 1011 00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:07,400 Speaker 1: like it or in Chinese, yes, but in Arabican, Russian 1012 00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:12,520 Speaker 1: not a day, Like there's no that. You can't be poor, 1013 00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:14,760 Speaker 1: you can't be you can't yeah, you're either. It's really 1014 00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,600 Speaker 1: hard for like growing world though, because like how how 1015 00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:21,240 Speaker 1: are people who are non binary or that was their identity, 1016 00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:27,720 Speaker 1: linguistic background, it's very historical. It was a very history. 1017 00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:31,919 Speaker 1: You would definitely get into Oxford College with that. Yeah, 1018 00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:36,000 Speaker 1: that was so fucking true. Oh my god, myself, it 1019 00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:37,960 Speaker 1: was really interesting. I did not even think about that 1020 00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:39,760 Speaker 1: for really listening to this, because I forgot. Oh yeah, 1021 00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:44,959 Speaker 1: and you need a bit of a positivity. I've alway 1022 00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:46,880 Speaker 1: just send this to Oxford and be like, here you go, 1023 00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:50,360 Speaker 1: what are your thoughts? Give me like some constructive three 1024 00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:57,160 Speaker 1: PhD fundfully change and I would like to work on 1025 00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think I would climentase is 1026 00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:03,080 Speaker 1: too big. What would you Okay, wait, kind of an interest, 1027 00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:06,280 Speaker 1: like a bit of a movement away, what would you 1028 00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:08,480 Speaker 1: do your PhD on? And if you could in the 1029 00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:14,680 Speaker 1: next five years, maybe fires in Australia, something to do 1030 00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:18,919 Speaker 1: with bush fires, something something local though, Yeah, what would 1031 00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:26,960 Speaker 1: you do your PhD on? Mm hmm, well, gender, that's gender. Yeah, 1032 00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:30,200 Speaker 1: that's so it's so hard to narrow down. I think 1033 00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:35,640 Speaker 1: I'm really interested in social media and democracy, but I'm 1034 00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:38,960 Speaker 1: also really interested in, you know, the Australian China space 1035 00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:43,919 Speaker 1: is social mode a new form of imperialism. I don't 1036 00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:48,480 Speaker 1: know what that means. I would do my PhD on 1037 00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:52,640 Speaker 1: false memories and the prevalence of false memories. But then 1038 00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:54,920 Speaker 1: I also, is there such thing as a true memory? No? 1039 00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:59,640 Speaker 1: Absolutely is not. There is absolutely no. Okay, don't say much. 1040 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,600 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm sorry psychology I could not do. It's 1041 01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:09,280 Speaker 1: just sociology. Psychology. I would just how is it as 1042 01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,720 Speaker 1: a psychology student do you find it hard to navigate 1043 01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:18,360 Speaker 1: the duality of kind of having that elevated self awareness 1044 01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:20,400 Speaker 1: of why you think the way that you do and 1045 01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:23,720 Speaker 1: what kind of like thinking traps you're susceptible too, and 1046 01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:27,480 Speaker 1: at the same time still being susceptible to them. You 1047 01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:29,600 Speaker 1: know what, It really sucks because you would think, so 1048 01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:33,400 Speaker 1: this is the thing with unconscious processes. Being aware of 1049 01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:36,919 Speaker 1: them doesn't actually do anything. So I have this issue 1050 01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:40,800 Speaker 1: or unt involuntary. Absolutely, I get stuck in thinking traps 1051 01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:43,760 Speaker 1: all the time, like, and I know why they occur. 1052 01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:46,080 Speaker 1: I know, like it's really crazy because I'll go into 1053 01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:49,400 Speaker 1: my therapist office and that's true and what happens. But 1054 01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:52,600 Speaker 1: I'm like I already already know, Like she'll be like, oh, 1055 01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:54,680 Speaker 1: we should do this, and I'm like yeah, But like 1056 01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:56,280 Speaker 1: the other day she was like, we should do DT 1057 01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,840 Speaker 1: and I was dialectical menial therapy and I was like, oh, 1058 01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:02,240 Speaker 1: but I know that it has this downside and it's 1059 01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,240 Speaker 1: actually not going to work for me because I know 1060 01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:05,960 Speaker 1: that this is an issue with it and actually I 1061 01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:09,000 Speaker 1: didn't have this background, so talking about it will actually 1062 01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:10,960 Speaker 1: be worse for me. And She's but it's very that's 1063 01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:14,280 Speaker 1: very specific. That's like a one line thing, but it's 1064 01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:17,160 Speaker 1: like every individence or intrusive thoughts as well. I'm like, 1065 01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,240 Speaker 1: I know exactly why I'm getting intrusive thoughts. I know 1066 01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:23,280 Speaker 1: exactly and all the process behind it, but like I 1067 01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:25,640 Speaker 1: still get the two edge saw it again. Yes it 1068 01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:29,600 Speaker 1: kind of sucks. Yeah, all like that the whole thing 1069 01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:31,880 Speaker 1: about I always I think this all the time, and 1070 01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:34,520 Speaker 1: I know it's quite like I would say, it's not privilege, 1071 01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:36,560 Speaker 1: but just like privilege and the fact that I have 1072 01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:40,840 Speaker 1: like we all have quite big brains, you know brains 1073 01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:44,400 Speaker 1: have the tiny head though, so really I feel like 1074 01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:46,200 Speaker 1: I have a big head, medium head. I was like, 1075 01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:51,560 Speaker 1: mine's pretty big? Is big? Yea here? I used to 1076 01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:53,320 Speaker 1: get my parents as to call me sure I have 1077 01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:57,919 Speaker 1: a square Wait wait, what was the privilege? Yeah, it's 1078 01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:02,000 Speaker 1: like um would you rather this is I don't think 1079 01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,040 Speaker 1: this is a very ethical question, so I probably wouldn't 1080 01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:06,720 Speaker 1: be on that question on that board exam. But like, 1081 01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,919 Speaker 1: would you rather be I think I've said this intelligence, 1082 01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:14,360 Speaker 1: intelligent and have mental health anxiety issues, overthinking issues, or 1083 01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:16,840 Speaker 1: dumb and not because you and not even think about 1084 01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:18,480 Speaker 1: it because you're dumb and you won't think that in 1085 01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:21,640 Speaker 1: your words, Okay, would you rather be smart and have 1086 01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:23,840 Speaker 1: to deal with like fucked thinking or would you rather 1087 01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:26,400 Speaker 1: data and not have to think about But then also 1088 01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,600 Speaker 1: if you're dumb, you get susceptible to capitalism and you 1089 01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:32,200 Speaker 1: get to you work for nothing and you work hard 1090 01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:35,040 Speaker 1: for nothing. No, but that's not true. Yeah, but no, 1091 01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,080 Speaker 1: but that's like lots of people, Yes, it is in 1092 01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:41,960 Speaker 1: insenses in lots of cases, people don't know what's out 1093 01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:48,480 Speaker 1: there right now. Like some people just don't know what's 1094 01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:51,400 Speaker 1: out there. They haven't had that access and they or 1095 01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:53,920 Speaker 1: they haven't and they don't know what they can literally 1096 01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:55,760 Speaker 1: like do think they can do what they want for 1097 01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:58,080 Speaker 1: so much easier, they can have such a good life, 1098 01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:01,240 Speaker 1: but they haven't seen it and they're working so hard. 1099 01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:04,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, it really depends because like I had 1100 01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:06,000 Speaker 1: this like awful experience at the start of the year, 1101 01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:09,320 Speaker 1: it changes where I'm like, it's so fucked. But it's 1102 01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:11,800 Speaker 1: like I know that being an intelligent person means that, 1103 01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:14,120 Speaker 1: like it comes with so much. The amount of time 1104 01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:17,160 Speaker 1: I'm in my own head is like absolutely sickening. Sometimes 1105 01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:18,800 Speaker 1: I just wish that I could just pull out my 1106 01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:20,880 Speaker 1: mind and like put it on a table so I 1107 01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:23,160 Speaker 1: could just like be this like little figure that just 1108 01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,160 Speaker 1: doesn't think about stuff. It does not thinking about stuff 1109 01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:28,320 Speaker 1: necessarily mean that you're not intelligent, or is it just 1110 01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:32,840 Speaker 1: that you're better able to sign thoughts? I don't know, meditation, baby, 1111 01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,320 Speaker 1: maybe if you just meditate here, mean you like if 1112 01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:38,680 Speaker 1: I didn't, if I didn't even have to think about meditating, 1113 01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:41,320 Speaker 1: and my thoughts just like went through. It's just like guys, 1114 01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,720 Speaker 1: I feel like they just don't think. So guys are dumb, 1115 01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:50,320 Speaker 1: maybe emotionally the intelligence, I don't know what, like internal intelligence. 1116 01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,120 Speaker 1: Every man I've ever known has been a little bit stupid. Yeah, 1117 01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:55,840 Speaker 1: but they just don't they don't care. It's more, it's 1118 01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:57,360 Speaker 1: not like they aren't caring a bad bad they just 1119 01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:00,400 Speaker 1: don't care. Like they just like I don't think it's true. 1120 01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:03,960 Speaker 1: I don't think that's true. I maybe a lot of 1121 01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:06,080 Speaker 1: I feel like there are some that I've met who 1122 01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:08,320 Speaker 1: are very but this is more about like anxiousness rather 1123 01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:12,240 Speaker 1: than intelligence. You know. Wait wait wait, wait, wait, Naddie answered, sorry, 1124 01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:16,400 Speaker 1: I didn't stay with you. I think I think that 1125 01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:22,600 Speaker 1: being of a higher intelligence naturally makes you have a 1126 01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:28,120 Speaker 1: greater degree of existential awareness, which can make you more depressed. 1127 01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:30,560 Speaker 1: But I think that at the same time, I think 1128 01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:34,440 Speaker 1: it also allows you to have maybe richer experiences formed 1129 01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:37,600 Speaker 1: deeper connections, And I think the downside of that is 1130 01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:40,240 Speaker 1: that the things that you feel to perhaps a more 1131 01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:43,560 Speaker 1: like heightened extreme in a good way, that you might 1132 01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:48,000 Speaker 1: get to feel um at an above average level, to 1133 01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:53,080 Speaker 1: um someone that is like unimplined to thinking in deeper ways, 1134 01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:57,000 Speaker 1: and you appreciate the same more time. It comes with 1135 01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:01,080 Speaker 1: feeling the lows more acutely. So it just depends whether 1136 01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:05,000 Speaker 1: you want to kind of have consistency and a more 1137 01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:09,320 Speaker 1: Plato stable life. But that's like shit, because like it's 1138 01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:11,920 Speaker 1: all relative. Like if we're happy, it means we've had 1139 01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:15,520 Speaker 1: to have sad times, you know, absolutely, But yeah, that's question. 1140 01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:17,920 Speaker 1: How do we how can we know if we are happy? 1141 01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:21,200 Speaker 1: I might just might have to move on to that's 1142 01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:25,840 Speaker 1: another point. Um, I just feel so bad, like why 1143 01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:29,000 Speaker 1: I wish everyone like, you know, do you ever feel 1144 01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:31,800 Speaker 1: so bad about like people? Like why aren't they? You know, 1145 01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:33,240 Speaker 1: they could do so many things. I don't know. I 1146 01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:39,720 Speaker 1: just feel like, yeah, you metric though maybe they are 1147 01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:41,640 Speaker 1: happy doing that. I know. That's a good point. That's 1148 01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:44,680 Speaker 1: a very good point. But it's like it's a very 1149 01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:47,400 Speaker 1: good point. Actually, it's beautiful that you recognize their potential 1150 01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:48,880 Speaker 1: and you're like, if I had that potential, this is 1151 01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:50,800 Speaker 1: what I would do with. Yeah, but everyone's brains did 1152 01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:52,680 Speaker 1: why are different? I suppose maybe they don't want that. 1153 01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:55,040 Speaker 1: It's like my cousins. I love them to bits, but 1154 01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:56,920 Speaker 1: they want very different things to me. And that very 1155 01:05:56,960 --> 01:05:58,919 Speaker 1: good point. Yeah, I feel like when I was younger, 1156 01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:01,320 Speaker 1: I would often be like, I don't say we are 1157 01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:06,560 Speaker 1: the most each individual is er em Yeah, absolutely, Well, 1158 01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,840 Speaker 1: thank you all for listening. We realized. Maddie just realized 1159 01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:11,800 Speaker 1: that we have to go fucking clean up the kitchen 1160 01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:15,560 Speaker 1: asked the question, we have one more question to leave 1161 01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:19,320 Speaker 1: with you. Yeah, here's a good question for you. The 1162 01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:24,920 Speaker 1: poet who who asked to clean the kitchen so the 1163 01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:28,920 Speaker 1: first one is, how do you know whether you were happy? Oh, 1164 01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:31,280 Speaker 1: big one. I really wish we'd answered that. Maybe we 1165 01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:34,320 Speaker 1: can do a part two, okay next time. Yeah. Yeah. 1166 01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:39,520 Speaker 1: Maddie's funny one is I already said it. Should we 1167 01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:43,760 Speaker 1: banish the poets? Yes, I have a thing. Oh my god, 1168 01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,440 Speaker 1: remember when I was dating my Oh, I don't make 1169 01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:48,200 Speaker 1: hates that I'm talking about men at the moment, but 1170 01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:51,360 Speaker 1: like disgusting, Oh my god, oh my god. He used 1171 01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:53,640 Speaker 1: to write me poems and I literally wouldn't want to drop. 1172 01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:56,240 Speaker 1: It was like I saw this really funny. Mean the 1173 01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:58,760 Speaker 1: other day it was like open to Snapchat expecting it 1174 01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:00,280 Speaker 1: to be a dick pick, but it was a poem, 1175 01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:03,360 Speaker 1: which is somehow so much worse. And I was like, 1176 01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:07,760 Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, that's so true. Anyhow, some beautiful 1177 01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:10,720 Speaker 1: questions coming out of this.
