1
We live in a world today obsessed with optimization and efficiency.
2
It's gotten to the point where there are countless memes out there about the optimization people,
3
the people looks maxing, the people success maxing in the idea of Stephen Bartlett
4
and that meme that went viral over him saying
5
that he had one glass of wine or two glasses of wine and it ruined three days of his life.
6
We've all seen those memes and we're starting to understand
7
that this world prioritizes efficiency and usefulness over things that are much more eternal, much more soulful.
8
We look at the modern day apartment complexes
9
and we compare them to the buildings that were built hundreds of years ago
10
and we see that there is just absolutely no soul there.
11
They were built in an efficient manner, in a fast manner, to try and maximize for short -term ROI.
12
But there's nothing eternal about them.
13
And I think the best example about how we've gone
14
so far from what is best for the human society and best for the human spirit is the Renaissance period.
15
Because it's so easy to look at today and see
16
that there are countless construction companies and countless businesses which are maximizing
17
and optimizing for efficiency and usefulness
18
and making a lot more profit in the short term than businesses did back in the Renaissance period, for example.
19
If you look at a modern day building, it gets built a lot more fast, it gets built in a much more efficient manner,
20
and is able to bring in millions if not billions of dollars for that construction company in a very short time span.
21
Whereas the buildings that were built in Florence, Italy in the 16th or 15th century, those buildings, some of them took over 50,
22
60, sometimes even 100 years.
23
So the short -term profit wasn't there to the same level as these modern -day, more efficient buildings.
24
Except these modern -day buildings will be knocked down in 10, 20, or 30 years, while those buildings that were built back in Florence,
25
Italy, are still standing today, and their beauty attracts people to Italy, and has probably brought in tens of billions,
26
if not trillions of dollars at this point in tourism money, in economy money, in the sense
27
that people travel to Italy to look at these beautiful buildings built hundreds of years ago sometimes a thousand years ago,
28
and then what they then do is spend money at the shops and they buy souvenirs and they go to the restaurant.
29
It has this huge effect.
30
And so beauty wins in the long term, even though it doesn't seem as optimized, even though it doesn't seem as efficient.
31
You can also look at modern -day clothing companies,
32
which are still reaping the rewards off the focus and attention to detail that their founders had sometimes hundreds of years ago.
33
You can look at the big fashion houses.
34
Some of them now produce bags and clothes worth thousands of dollars that are actually produced quite cheaply and quite mass manufactured.
35
But they're able to charge that amount of money
36
because of the attention to detail and beauty that existed in the beginning of that company.
37
But then because they try and focus on efficiency, those companies end up dying.
38
They start dwindling in their profit and they wonder why
39
and then they try and be more efficient and they fire people and they try and optimize the structure of the company,
40
forgetting the main point, which is that efficiency wins in the short term,
41
but beauty and craft and attention to detail wins in the long term, always.
42
And like I said, the renaissance is the best example of that.
43
And I think there's a lesson in there for everyone living today.
44
And so in today's video, I want to talk about the three principles
45
that I learned from reading the Oxford History of the Renaissance when it comes to beauty, when it comes to optimizing for beauty,
46
for quality, for craft, and how that can still lead you to succeeding,
47
but it's succeeding in a better manner and succeeding in the long term while also feeling more fulfilled.
48
And so, without further ado, let's get into principle number one, which is to focus on what you want to bring to the world,
49
not what the world can bring to you.
50
Something the Renaissance did extremely well was constantly think about what the human can add to the world.
51
Look at the limitations that seem to exist out there and try and break through them.
52
Try and bring something new to the world that no one else can bring.
53
It's what the great
54
Renaissance artists from William Shakespeare to Leonardo da Vinci to Michelangelo were able to bring.
55
It's what the great statesmen were able to bring.
56
And even the bankers.
57
It's why when you look at the Medici family who...
58
If you go through history, you know they have a checkered past.
59
They weren't these brilliant, great people.
60
But they still brought something great to the world because they wondered how they could bring something new into the world.
61
Even though they were bankers, they thought about how art and culture and beauty would allow
62
Florence to gain more soft power, therefore make more money.
63
But they were able to generate money as bankers through funding art and beauty.
64
I mean, what a far cry from the world we live in today, where the modern -day bankers are so focused on efficiency
65
and optimization that they wouldn't even think about how important the arts
66
and beauty of art could be for their banking systems and for the economy of the country.
67
Like I already gave that example, look at Florence and Italy still bringing in people to look at monuments that are hundreds of years old,
68
in some cases thousands of years old.
69
That still generates billions of dollars in profit for the country.
70
So like I said, beauty wins in the long term
71
and even bankers like the Medici family back in the Renaissance understood that concept.
72
You want to bring something new.
73
You want to do something new for the world.
74
No bankers had done that before, and then they were able to do that.
75
And so in your life, if you're focused on trying to do well and trying to grow and trying to succeed as we all are,
76
I think the first step
77
that we can all learn from the Renaissance is to think about how we can bring something unique to the world,
78
how we can solve a unique problem, how we can bring something that we feel as though only us can bring.
79
If I can personalize this in a way when I look at myself and the content that I make here,
80
I try to ruthlessly make it as unique as possible.
81
I try to constantly stay as close as I can to what I can bring personally to the content landscape,
82
to this philosophy and self -help and self -education landscape.
83
What can I do that's unique?
84
There are constant videos out there that are very similar to other videos, people constantly copying each other.
85
There are many different creators out there who make great content.
86
But I'm different.
87
What can I bring that's unique?
88
And so I try to think about self -help and self -education through a more humanities lens, through a more philosophical lens,
89
and also through a classical lens.
90
Ever since I was a kid, I've liked wearing suits.
91
It makes me kind of unique in today's environment, which is more focused on efficiency.
92
They believe a T -shirt is more efficient than a suit and tie, which I guess it is.
93
But for me, that doesn't make me feel good.
94
For me, putting on this suit makes me feel ready to talk.
95
It makes me feel professional.
96
It makes me feel grounded in some sense.
97
It's a meditative process to put on a shirt, button up the shirt, tie the tie, put on the jacket, and there's a layering to it.
98
It's meditative.
99
And I think that does make me unique, even though it might seem superficial.
100
It adds to the beauty of my content, if I can say that without sounding arrogant in any way.
101
I just mean that it's unique.
102
And so I constantly try
103
and stay as close as I can to what I can add that no one else could possibly add.
104
What makes me unique and how can I get that across while still providing value?
105
I like to think that I make videos that no one else really makes in the same way.
106
We may talk about similar concepts and similar ideas.
107
It's impossible to talk about unique ideas every day, but we do it in a different way,
108
and I try to bring what I can bring to it.
109
And so I think the first step in beauty is to constantly think about how whatever it is you're looking to do,
110
painting, writing, architecture, being a banker, being a politician, being a real estate agent,
111
whatever you can do, how can you bring your own unique beauty to it?
112
If you're a real estate agent, the beauty, I'm sure, comes in the way that you approach the sale,
113
the way that you go above and beyond to communicate, what allows you to make it more of a seamless process, a comfortable process.
114
What unique version of beauty can you bring to it?
115
And I think in today's world, not enough people start there.
116
I think they start with what's my target market?
117
How much money can I make out of this market?
118
What can my business do?
119
What's working for other businesses?
120
How can I split test to see what can work for mine?
121
But not enough focus goes on how can I be as unique as possible?
122
And I think especially in the age of AI, where AI is going to occupy more of the useful space,
123
all the efficiency, all the rinse and repeat processes when it comes to jobs,
124
all the areas of work that are very much focused on just efficiency and usefulness.
125
AI is going to be able to replace that.
126
AI is going to be able to come up with the most efficient business model.
127
It's going to be able to do the editing process for videos like these, for example.
128
So that efficiency level, that's going to be occupied.
129
So how can my edits in my video, or how can the way I talk,
130
or how can the work I make be unique and still do well in the AI landscape?
131
I think it comes down to what beauty you're bringing to it.
132
It might take you longer to write a book than it would take AI, but there is a level of beauty that can come through
133
if you can be as focused as you can on what uniqueness you can bring to it.
134
Now, some people may push back there.
135
Some people may say that AI will become so complex that it will be able to create unique pieces of art, and maybe that's the case.
136
But think about it if you're a writer and you're writing a romance book or a murder mystery book.
137
And let's say that morning you went for a jog and you ended up seeing a person with a dog.
138
And seeing that person with a dog made you think about a unique scene
139
that you can put into your book involving a dog, maybe by the beach if you were running by the beach or in a park,
140
wherever it was that unique daily experience that you had may trigger an idea
141
that only you can bring to the book because only you had that experience that morning and had that epiphany.
142
So that's what I mean by unique beauty that you can bring to your job.
143
Now, of course, that's in a creative space, but there are ideas like that that can work across all jobs,
144
across all areas of life that you're trying to do well in and succeed in.
145
If you try and be as efficient as possible
146
and you don't slow down and think about the unique beauty
147
and unique ideas and unique examples that you can bring to it, you may miss out on doing the best work you can do,
148
which can help you win in the long term.
149
And I think the Renaissance is a great example of that.
150
Which leads me in to principle number two, which is to pay ruthless attention to detail.
151
Something that the Renaissance did is just the attention to detail is insane.
152
Anybody who's been to Florence, anybody who's visited all these different monuments across Europe
153
that erected during the 15th and 16th and even getting into the 17th century, you can zoom in on like one aspect of a wall.
154
You can go up to just one speck of a wall
155
and see these little minor details that from a distance you wouldn't be able to see, But up close, you can see then.
156
And so you think, wow, they really paid a lot of attention to detail.
157
And that paying attention to detail is what allowed them to make work
158
that can succeed in the long term and continues to amaze people
159
and attract people and bring wonder and beauty to the world.
160
If you make something that looks beautiful from a distance, but the attention to detail isn't there,
161
then that beauty will exist for a little bit of time, but eventually it will fade, because there's not enough there for you to chew on.
162
And so no matter what you're doing in life, you need to pay such small detail,
163
pay such big attention to the small details in order to make your work timeless.
164
What makes Dostoevsky's books timeless is that you can reread them
165
and reread them for the rest of your life
166
and find small little moments that can speak to you in
167
that moment of your life that didn't speak to you a year ago or even a month ago.
168
And that's because every word, every sentence, he paid close attention to it.
169
Now, that's not efficient.
170
That may elongate the writing process.
171
You may be able to craft just as entertaining of a story.
172
You may be able to craft just as detailed of a plot as you can in
173
that Dostoevsky book in a shorter time span
174
if you spend less attention to the precise word
175
that this character used at this very moment and how that can harken back to something that happened two chapters before,
176
or whatever it may be you can skip a few details
177
and on the surface craft the same level of beauty and quality.
178
But over time, people will see through it.
179
And it's that attention to detail which separates the work that lasts forever from the work that slowly fades over time.
180
I think a great example of this in the content space in the last few years is the example of Chris Williamson.
181
His podcast has been somewhat of a slow burn.
182
He started it years and years ago.
183
It took a little while to get going.
184
And then it grew to 200, 300, 400 ,000 subscribers.
185
And it's been a slow uptick ever since.
186
But every day that uptick gets further and further.
187
more fast.
188
It gets further and further quicker.
189
And yet he pays such close attention to the detail.
190
He makes beautiful content.
191
He's really following his curiosity.
192
He goes above and beyond to make the podcast experience more than potentially he even needs to.
193
When you look at some of the big episodes he's done with Matthew McConaughey,
194
for example, he pays, I don't even want to know how much money he spends, but I would imagine hundreds of thousands of dollars on this
195
beautiful set to recreate the interstellar house in order to craft this beautiful visual experience for that podcast episode.
196
Now, a podcast doesn't need to do that, yet he pays attention to that detail and it enhances the experience
197
and that creates a better relationship and it might be a slow burn, it might make less profit in the short term,
198
but those episodes in this podcast is going to continue to resonate with people for many years down the line, potentially decades.
199
And then you compare that with the Florentine Duomo, which of course is still generating income today, 500 years on.
200
Compare that with the Sistine Chapel, which doesn't just generate income in tourism fees and in visiting fees,
201
but also adds to the allure, the cultural significance of the Vatican, the soft power of the Vatican,
202
and is able to transcend space and time and generations and religions even, and speak to everybody.
203
Atheists go to the Vatican to look at the Sistine Chapel.
204
Muslims go to the Vatican to look at the Sistine Chapel
205
because beauty bridges divides beauty is able to unite people beauty is able to win in the long term
206
it is precisely why Dostoevsky said
207
that beauty will save the world
208
you can look at the way Chris Williamson has been able to grow the podcast unite people
209
and compare it to Andrew Tate who didn't have any focus on beauty didn't unite the world in any way
210
and completely rose very fast but just completely fell apart because there was no foundations there
211
There was no beauty there.
212
There was no attention to the small details, which leads me in to principle number three, which is to always remain curious.
213
Now, when building in life, when trying to achieve a dream, achieve an objective, something that the Renaissance did very well was
214
while they were very focused on beauty and they had the idea and they were striving for that idea, They also remained curious in the way
215
that they would pay attention to the world around them
216
and try to come to epiphanies and see how they can work those epiphanies into their buildings, into their paintings, into their literature,
217
into the way that they do diplomacy, into their banking systems.
218
They remained outward looking.
219
They didn't have this vision of beauty and hunker down and just focus on that and that alone.
220
There was this ability to allow different cultures through the mass immigration
221
that was going on during that time of the Renaissance period.
222
You had the world shifting from a more
223
Eastern perspective, a more
224
Eastern -centered world to a Western -centered world.
225
And in that immigration, in that cultural, I want to say, communication,
226
they were able to remain curious and have different ideas form and create unique pieces of work because of that curiosity.
227
Now, some of these examples of these are in the way that they approach painting, in the way that they approached art,
228
where they were able to draw from different regions of the world
229
and allow each region to have an effect over the techniques used in creating art, which then go into the Sistine Chapel,
230
which then go in to the Statue of David, which then go in to da Vinci's work.
231
And it's that idea of remaining curious that allows you to have your idea of beauty,
232
have your idea and goal and objective of what you're trying to reach, but also remain curious enough to take in inputs that can help you.
233
And I think this is almost where the efficiency conversation loses me.
234
Because if you're so focused on optimization and efficiency, you will almost have your blinders on.
235
You won't be focused on slowing down for a bit, contemplating ideas, sharing ideas.
236
Stephen Bartlett doesn't want to have two glasses of wine with a friend over dinner
237
because that might take too long and ruin the next three days of his life and he's got work to do.
238
But what if, while having those two glasses of wine, he slowed down, enjoyed it,
239
elongated the dinner, and had a conversation which then led him to view the world in a different way,
240
which then could shape the direction of his podcast and the way that the podcast moved?
241
You know, I've noticed in my own life that...
242
It's at the times that I slow down
243
and become less focused on efficiency that I become more efficient in a way
244
because I can gain more clarity over the direction of my life.
245
I slow down and have more time to come to epiphanies,
246
which can drastically improve what I'm doing in my life and my own work when it comes to these videos,
247
the way that I come up with the ideation of my videos is in slowing down
248
and thinking about ideas and coming to epiphanies on what I think could be interesting topics to talk about.
249
It's following my own curiosity, picking up the books that I feel curious to read and allowing those ideas,
250
and I have to slow down to allow this process to happen,
251
but allowing those ideas to form new ideas within me that I can then talk about.
252
If I tried to be efficient
253
and I sat down on the first day of every month
254
and I mapped out 15 videos that day
255
that I could then pre -record the following day
256
and then have 15 videos of content scheduled out over the next month
257
and then I can spend time doing other things, right?
258
I don't have to spend time thinking about content throughout the entire month.
259
That was all done in 48 hours.
260
That's the efficient way.
261
But what if in that one day I came up with 15 video ideas
262
and really only two or three were that great?
263
What if then four days later I'm reading a book
264
and a new idea pops into my head and I want to make a video about that?
265
But I've already scheduled out 15 videos for that month.
266
I have to then, you know, put in, I have to then, you know, put it into the next month batch of content.
267
And that just becomes a bit soulless
268
because by the time the next month comes around and I sit down and record it, the passion won't be there.
269
I feel like there's a passion in what I'm talking about, which in some way carries over in the content, I hope.
270
In some way can allow the people receiving this video to then also feel
271
that passion and allow that beauty to inspire them.
272
It's a slower process, but I actually think it's more efficient in a way because it makes my content better.
273
It allows this channel to probably grow at a faster rate.
274
But because I'm not focused on optimizing for just growth, because I'm focused on optimizing for passion,
275
for depth, for beauty, for quality, to being as unique to my vision as possible,
276
I have a feeling that that transcends and allows this channel to grow.
277
You know, every day I am blown away at the growth of this channel.
278
I just can't believe that there are that many people out there, over 400 or 500 new subscribers per day, that find these ideas interesting.
279
I think I'm slightly unique as an individual.
280
I think I'm slightly different as an individual.
281
And, you know, I probably don't feel as though there are many people out there like me.
282
But somehow it resonates.
283
And I have a suspicion that what's resonating there is the fact that there is passion.
284
It's in the fact that it's unique.
285
And it's in the fact that my efficiency strategy is coming down to epiphanies and slowing down my thought process,
286
which comes from this Renaissance model.
287
Now, it's not to say that you should never be efficient.
288
It's not to say that you shouldn't schedule out hours in the day to do things.
289
I am very much pro -scheduling.
290
I time block every day.
291
I know what time I'm recording.
292
I know what I need to work on.
293
I have my essay writing schedule, which I've talked about on this channel before.
294
And so it's not like I'm anti -efficiency.
295
But what I am pro, what I'm anti -sorry is to make efficiency the goal.
296
Efficiency and growth is not the objective.
297
The objective is the beauty that I want to craft.
298
It's the uniqueness that I can bring to the world.
299
And then I can think about what's the most efficient way of achieving that objective.
300
What's the most efficient way of getting there.
301
But I'm not going to sacrifice the beauty of it and the quality of it for the efficiency.
302
If the most efficient model to create the most amount of content takes me 10 minutes, but then the content isn't as beautiful,
303
I'm not going to do that.
304
If the most efficient way I can achieve the content I want to create is a five -year timeline,
305
obviously it's not.
306
It doesn't take me five years to make a video, but let's elongate this.
307
If the only efficient way, if the most efficient way
308
that I could approach my work to achieve the outcome I'm looking to achieve was a five -year process, I would do the five -year process.
309
Because that beauty, that quality, that depth, that attention to detail may not reap the rewards today.
310
tomorrow, next month, or even next year.
311
But I have faith in the arc of the world for beauty to win in the long run.
312
It's why Dostoevsky had that faith too and said that beauty would save the world.
313
And it's precisely why the Renaissance period had people build buildings
314
and churches that they didn't even get to live to see the finished product.
315
They had that much faith in beauty.
316
And I think beauty is that important.
317
And I think there are
318
so many examples in our world today to show why beauty is important and why it wins in the long term.
319
And let's also play this out on a societal level to end out this episode, which is that beauty is also a selfless act.
320
It is a noble act.
321
When you think of these big fashion houses like I was
322
talking about at the beginning of the episode where you have these fashion houses
323
that are succeeding today based on the fact that 100 years ago, the founder had paid such attention to the small details,
324
cared about beauty that much, which crafted and created this company that allows people that person could have never imagined to have even existed,
325
may not even be related to, to then profit billions of dollars off their company creation.
326
Now these people who are more focused on efficiency change the quality, pay less attention to the small details,
327
make it more efficient, but then slowly dwindle the company's profits.
328
They will remain profitable for this lifetime of the people running it.
329
But for their children, for the next generation, it might be a dead business.
330
So it's fine.
331
Efficiency may make you more money in your life, but it will damage the future generations of humanity.
332
And I think that is the lesson of beauty.
333
That is the lesson of why we should be focused on beauty.
334
It's not all about money right now for me.
335
It's also about how can I craft a world for other people.
336
And if you're a person who says, well, I don't care about that.
337
I'm going to be dead.
338
Then get off this channel.
339
That's not what this is about.
340

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
