DISCUSSION ON THE TED FILM – YIN, YANG
One Guy said:
Let me translate:
"Bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit..."
The world is not black and white with a little bit of black in the white and vice versa. It is all different shades of grey, understanding that is a part of growing up.
A Second responded:
I can't believe this kind of comment still exists in the TED realm...
A Third added:
I can't believe that people who watch TED aren't interested in understanding a worldview that a sixth of the world's population subscribes to. It's not preaching, it's educating.
A 4th responded to the 2nd and 3rd :
Passing along superstition (step on a crack break your mothers back - was not my creativity, but someone else) is a 'learning exercise' for who ever is receiving that superstitious idea being passed along to them - so it could be considered 'educational' too. I do hope TEDers avoids such lessons in frivolity and realize the harmful affects such superstitions and lessons in frivolity can have on people. Not to mention superstitions doesn't really fit with the TED slogan 'ideas worth spreading'.
The 3rd responded to the 4th:
Short little nursery rhymes are markedly different than reality defining worldviews. This is education because it allows you to understand how other people think, and it allows you to better empathize with them. You are more than free to pass over all the belief systems that you want, but TED is an organization that prides itself on a message of universality and coexistence.
The 4th added to the 3rd ‘s response:
Its a superstition. And so is explaining human nature and offering life advise with yin/yang. It's ID deja-vu all over again.
The 3rd responded to 4th ‘s Answer:
No one is trying to argue that it isn't a superstition. Merely that it's an important one, and, subsequently, that it's worth understanding. ID is worth understanding. Aristotle's theory of elements is worth understanding. It's not important because it's factual, it's important because it drives the decision making of people who make decisions.
The 4th answered back:
There is little to understand. Its a distraction from actual discovery. Imagine Dawkins having no need to debate on ego v ID - more to the point the discoveries he may not be making now.
The 3rd reacted:
Oh my god dude I get it. You're the young kid who sees the beauty of the rational mind and resents the world for clinging to belief systems that are rooted in a self-serving intuition. I used to be that kid too. It isn't worth it. Grow up and realize that your worldviews are just as self-serving, and learn to treat others with respect. All your comments do is distract others from learning, and force them to focus on your worldview - your imaginary world of education without religion.
The 4th also reacted:
"All your comments do is distract others from learning, and force them to focus on your worldview - your imaginary world of education without religion."
So you admit your video and your arguments is to impose YOUR world view on others. Thanks for that honesty. And here I thought we were having discussions. Silly me, I mean it is associated with 'TED'.
The 3rd then reacted/responded:
This video is about Daosim, and you are using it as a way to start an argument about what should and shouldn't be considered education. You are the one that is imposing.
Thing is, I am not the one that has a problem with the imposition of worldviews. If 'I did, I would have ignored your comments so that they wouldn't gain traction. You are the one that has a problem with imposing worldviews, which is why you think TED shouldn't air this content at all, remember?
The 4th also reacted/responded:
"This video is about Daosim, and you are using it as a way to start an argument about what should and shouldn't be considered education. You are the one that is imposing."
You defend this 'philosophy' it as if you have vested interest in it. I am pointing out that competing philosophies that forgo superstitious aspects would be less distracting. I impose no more than you by having this discussion.
Again taking lessons from the delusional about their delusion is an education *not* worth spreading.
The 5th wisely commented:
In studying Homer no one is imposed to believe in Poseidon. Yes, while it is foolish to believe the myths to be true - to discount it all as nonsense is not any less foolish. There is much to learn in others' viewpoints: the more you are subjected to different ideals the more objectively you can criticize them. There are concepts that might be useful in understanding reality e.g numbers- this philosophy tries to point out the concept of contrasts intermingling. That's all. Nothing supernatural.
AND I GRACIOUSLY COMPILED ALL THE ARGUMENTS WHILE STRONGLY AGREEING WITH THE 5TH ‘S VIEW THAT I ALSO SEE THE WISDOM IN LEARNING FROM DIFFERENT VIEWPOINTS OF THE INTUITIONAL AND THE RATIONAL !
