Music Sit on your bed one day
3
and ask yourself What's What remarkably Stupid things am I doing
4
on a regular Basis to absolutely screw up my life And if you actually Ask that question, but you have to Want to know the answer right
5
because that's actually what asking The question means it doesn't mean
6
just Mouthing the words it means you have to decide
7
that you want to know you'll figure that's out so fast it'll make your hair curl
8
there's no better pathway to self-realization
9
and the ennoblement of being than to posit the highest good
10
that you can conceive of and commit yourself to it
11
and then you might also ask yourself
12
and this is definitely worth asking is do you really have anything better to do
13
and if you don't well So why would you do anything else?
14
If you orient yourself properly, and then pay attention to what you do every day, that works.
15
And I actually think that that's in accordance with what we have come to understand about human perception,
16
because what happens is that the world shifts itself around your aim.
17
Because you're a creature that has an aim.
18
You have to have an aim in order to do something.
19
You're an aiming creature look at a point
20
and you move towards it it's built right into you and
21
so you have an aim well let's say your aim is the highest possible aim well then
22
so that sets up the world around you it it organizes all of your perceptions it organizes what you see
23
and you don't see it organizes your emotions and your motivations
24
so you organize yourself around that aim
25
and then what happens is the day manifests itself as a set of challenges
26
and problems and if you solve them properly
27
then you stay on the pathway towards that aim
28
and you can concentrate on the on the on the day
29
and so that way you get to have your cake
30
and eat it too because you can you can point into the distance the far distance
31
and you can live in the day and it seems to me
32
that that's that makes every moment of the day supercharged with meaning
33
that that's because if everything
34
that you're doing every day is related to the highest possible aim
35
that you can conceptualize well that's the very definition of the meaning
36
that would sustain you in your life well
37
and then the issue is well back to noah well all hell's about to break loose
38
and chaos is coming it's like
39
when that's happening in your life you might want to be doing something
40
that you regard as truly worthwhile because that's what will keep you afloat
41
when when everything is flooded
42
and you don't want to wait until the flood comes just start doing
43
that because if your ark's half built
44
and you don't know how to captain it the probability is very high that that you'll drown
45
ask and it shall be given you seek and ye shall find knock
46
and it shall be opened unto you for everyone that asketh receiveth
47
and he that seeketh findeth and to him
48
that knocketh it shall be opened that sounded pretty optimistic again
49
but but again i think it's a description of the structure of existential reality and and by by which i mean
50
when i'm in my clinical practice and i observe and this is also the case with my students is let's say
51
people's lives aren't what they would like them to be and
52
so then you ask why well forget about tragedy and catastrophe
53
because that's self-evident and we're not going to discuss
54
that although the the degree to which you bring about your own tragedy is always indeterminate.
55
But I would never say that every terrible thing that is visited on a person is something they deserved.
56
I think that that's a very dangerous presupposition, especially because everyone gets sick and everyone dies.
57
But one of the main reasons that people don't get what they want is
58
because they don't actually figure out what it is.
59
the probability that you're going to get what would be good for you, let's say, which would even be better than what you want, right?
60
Because, you know, you might be wrong about what you want, easily.
61
But maybe you could get what would really be good for you.
62
Well, why don't you?
63
Well, because you don't try.
64
You don't think, okay, here's what I would like if I could have it.
65
And I don't mean, I don't mean in a way
66
that you manipulate the world to force it to deliver you goods for status or something like that.
67
That isn't what I mean.
68
I mean something like, imagine that you were taking care of yourself like you were someone you actually cared for.
69
And then you thought, okay, I'm caring for this person.
70
I would like things to go as well for them as possible.
71
What would their life have to be like in order for that to be the case?
72
Well, people don't do that.
73
They don't sit down and think, all right, you know, Let's figure it out.
74
You've got a life It's hard obviously.
75
It's like three years from now.
76
You can have what you need You got to be careful about it.
77
You can't have everything you can have what would be good for you
78
But you have to figure out what it is and then you have to aim at it
79
Well my experience with people has been is
80
if they figure out what it is that would be good for them
81
And then they aim at it then they get it and And it's strange because they don't necessarily, it's a strange thing.
82
It's not quite that simple because, you know, you may formulate an idea about what would be good for you.
83
And then you take 10 steps towards that and you find out that your formulation was a bit off.
84
And so you have to reformulate your goal.
85
You know, so you're kind of going like this as you move towards the goal.
86
But a huge part of the reason that people fail is because they don't ever set up the criteria for success.
87
And so, since success is a very narrow line and very unlikely, the probability that you're going to stumble on it randomly is zero.
88
And so there's a proposition here, and the proposition is, if you actually want something, you can have it.
89
Now, the question then would be, well, what do you mean by actually want?
90
And the answer is that you reorient your life in every possible way to make the probability
91
that that will occur as certain as possible.
92
And that's a sacrificial idea, right?
93
It's like, you don't get everything.
94
Obviously.
95
Obviously.
96
But maybe you can have what you need.
97
And maybe all you have to do to get it is ask.
98
But asking isn't a whim or today's wish.
99
It's like you have to be deadly serious about it.
100
You have to think, okay, like I'm taking stock of myself.
101
And if I was going to live properly in the world and I was going to set myself up
102
such that being would justify itself in my estimation, and I don't mean as a harsh judge, exactly what is it that I would aim at?
103
And so the issue is not so much the blindness of others,
104
even though there's as much blindness among others as there is as there is for you
105
but the issue here the advice here the description here is
106
you should be concerned about what's interfering with your own vision first
107
and you should leave other people the hell alone in relationship to
108
that and so if your mode of being in the world is if you would just act better, things would improve for me.
109
Or if you identify the evil and the catastrophe as something that's outside, that someone else needs to fix or that someone else is responsible for,
110
then you're not going to fix that.
111
And you're going to remain blind to the things that you're doing and not doing that make things not go well.
112
And so it's just better to think, all right, I'm probably blind in many, many ways.
113
And maybe there are some ways that I could rectify that
114
because it's highly probable that you're blind in all sorts of ways I mean, it's in fact.
115
It's virtually certain and so it's just more useful to think How is it that I'm wrong in this situation?
116
I'll tell you something that I learned to do when I was arguing with my wife which happened quite frequently
117
because When you actually communicate with people you find out
118
that there's many things that you don't agree on and that's
119
because you're actually different creatures and so
120
if you're actually going to have a truthful conversation then you're going to find out
121
that you don't see things the same way
122
and then you can either pretend that that's not the case
123
and gloss over it and then end up in a 30-year silent war
124
or you can or you can have the damn fight
125
when you need to have it and see
126
if you could straighten it out so now
127
and then we'd get in a situation where we were at loggerheads we couldn't move
128
and and you know it would spiral up into hate speech let's say
129
because yeah everyone laughs because they know they manifest plenty of hate speech towards those they love
130
so one of the things we learned to do was
131
when we hit an impasse was to separate
132
and to go our own ways and to go sit
133
and think okay look we're at this unpleasant situation we can't figure out how to move forward I'd always think,
134
of course it's her fault, obviously it's her fault.
135
At least 95%, but maybe there was something I did that contributed like 5% to it.

Uitspraak om op te letten
De spreker gebruikt 53 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals don't, you're, I'm. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.
- De “th”-klanken: pathway /ˈpæθˌweɪ/, truthful /ˈtɹuːθ.f(ə)l/, worthwhile /ˌwɜː(ɹ)θˈwaɪl/
- De klanken “sh” en “zh”: proposition /ˌpɹɑpəˈzɪʃən/, estimation /ˌɛs.təˈmeɪ.ʃən/, existential /ˌɛɡzɪˈstɛnʃl̩/, presupposition /pɹiː.sʌ.pəˈzɪ.ʃ(ə)n/, sacrificial /ˈsæk.ɹɪ.fɪʃ.əl/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: organize /ˈɔɹɡənaɪz/, conceive /kənˈsiːv/, observe /əbˈzɜːv/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: catastrophe /kəˈtæstɹəfi/, manifest /ˈmæn.ɪ.fɛst/, pathway /ˈpæθˌweɪ/, impasse /ˈɪmpæs/, sacrificial /ˈsæk.ɹɪ.fɪʃ.əl/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: organize /ˈɔɹɡənaɪz/, existential /ˌɛɡzɪˈstɛnʃl̩/
Zo oefen je met deze video

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
