Comment from : @HossienMousavinezhad

All your so called 'proof' that children are intrinsically kind is flawed That kind of behavior is influenced by both nature and nurture I believe one baby crying triggering others to cry is that the ones who are triggered believe that, due to the first baby crying there is something to cry about so there is both imitation and fear involved, not altruism I wish the world was the way you see it

I’ve found I disagree with the sentiment that the more easily disgusted you are, the more judgmental of our groups you are The thought of the cat made me physically ill; although the seat doesn’t bother me I’d like to consider myself to be accepted of almost all groups The only groups of people that I don’t like are p*dophiles, and zo*philes I could be an outlier however because I myself am a minority I’m transgender brIt’s also possible that the cat example triggers the sense of empathy and compassion because no one wants their pets to die
Comment from : @Letmebecringe

There are some VERY outdated approaches to topics in this video Saying women will perform worse because they had to identify themselves as a woman and they know women suck at tests is making a LOT of assumptions about what is going on in that person's head and what they may think about themselves in relation to society
Comment from : @stormingcrow2541

How fascinating! There is also another talk by him, which I also found quite interesting, called "The Origins of Pleasure" on TED So interesting that even made a video based on it! Highly recommend

I love his pure commitment to curiosity and the truth He doesn't seem like he's out to confirm biases, but only to understand brbrOne day I will finish his course on Coursera eventually

OMG, that is so interesting 🤔 Generally, I don't view psychological videos often, but I was instantly hooked on this one
Comment from : @milakim5139

Is it a coincidence that the attribute most humans find attractive (Kindness) is the one that has the ability to see past the conscious and unconscious backdrops? A tool worth learning how to use
Comment from : @Universal_Bias

@12:46 "But the difference was, before they entered the room, we sprayed the room with a fart spray People would be kind of grossed out And it would make them meaner"brbrAH HA! So the whole internet is just people disgusted by their own filth living in their mother's basements BRILLIANT!
Comment from : @jm7974

Thank you very interesting One thing I have noticed over the past two years is that those who have gone through media training tend to use their left hand more when talking My question is, is that done purposely, is the human brain more likely to trust someone using the left hand Or is it just a common pattern I've noticed?
Comment from : @MontyVFD

Being disgusted by something different to you without being able to find a good reason beyond our instinctive reaction, is something we should try to separate from

Please fix the subtitles on this video
Comment from : @IlliterateScientist

Love your series and thinking but concerned about the use of Hume and Locke, both who were proponents of 'scientific racism' Their thinking needs to be highlighted/asterisked as they were not part of a 'compassionate' thrust towards the majority of humankind
Comment from : @Lighteningspirit

Damn those subtitles are confusing In most of your videos actually

Comment from : @ellesbells902

Your reference to Tony Blair having a “white” face and Batak Obama having a “dark” face shows your unconscious bias, Barak Obama’s face is light brown or beige

Comment from : @dismalthoughts

Quotes were misattributed and the studies referenced were the ones you hear about in psych 101, I've heard almost all of them before While the people making this are supposedly very qualified, this feels half-assed

12:44 This may help explain why construction workers are well known for various hate-ism’sbrBuilding is full of unpleasant smells, sights, and pain It starts to wear on you Why do you think old contractors are so grumpy?

Comment from : @chelseam3914

Very good Thank you
Comment from : @semqueixas

is disgust and irritable the same thing? what if instead of fart gas they put roaches, spiders, etc to see if theres a difference?
Comment from : @osirusj275

Part of being smart is learning to respect your biases for their value to you
Comment from : @AndreaDavidEdelman

But as some people might ask, what is the ultimate value of so much knowledge? The "purpose?" The conclusion? The final solution?
Comment from : @RichardKoenigsberg

No discussion of mass-murder, which has been a significant characteristic of the 20th Century How does war and genocide fit in with the theory of "compassion"
Comment from : @RichardKoenigsberg

Thank you for sharing!
Comment from : @lewismoreno1874

I like your conclusions and I think you are promoting a positive interpretation of human psychology and behavior It gives hope for the future of humanity Therefore I am willing to overlook the many contradictions in the studies you quote, the shortcomings in your interpretation of results, and your choice to ignore/avoid studies that would oppose what you already believe to be true
Comment from : @addisondraper6444

This man is such a great communicator Very easy to understand his points Great work !

Thank you for the lecture Paul Bloom; Compassion and kindness drives Progress in Society, hence, Civilization Right and Wrong behaviors are distinguished between primitive ones
Comment from : @lizgichora6472

Here, you equal compassion with empathy In your book "Against empathy", the definitions are different
Comment from : @meinungabundance7696

If you react to a story of an individual, instead of statistics, you are just on a low level of development Unfortunately, many women react like that They have to SEE the misery, before they have empathy
Comment from : @meinungabundance7696

Sorry to interfere (out of compassion), but you should have a more fitting pair of trousers
Comment from : @meinungabundance7696

Dr Blum, there are no puzzles here DISGUST is one of our basic emotions, and it works on a SENSUAL basis Is in our "DNA", so to speak in order of avoiding a physical assault COMPASSION is an abstract philosophical principle, which can be learned
Comment from : @meinungabundance7696

Compassion is not about liking someone's smell or touch of skin, compassion is more abstract I dont care about hugging everybody in my city, but I'll help them - financially or otherwise - if they need help
Comment from : @meinungabundance7696

Psychology is only a tool ,works ? Human beings are material & immaterial nature ,moral is not taught by man it's the most deepest immaterial nature created by GOD

Comment from : @kennethgarcia25

Real monsters are made by overriding their natural compassion I'm from the South hunting is common Most children don't like hunting they cry when the animal is killed and skinned It's only later when it is normalized did they regard the animal as expendable And it's the same with racism Finding out who is other and expendable is learned
Comment from : @HallieEva

Men cannot have unlimited numbers of offspring 80 continuous years of breeding conceiving two children per day is only 58k 62 of pregnancies and and roughly 5 of all children globally die before they eat reach the age of maturity That's still 11,000 Clearly not unlimited If a man were to make a baby that lived to the age of maturity every year past the age of 15 and he lived to be 95 that would be 80 children Really not unlimited amount of offspring Why do people always say that about men? Like men are somehow so unlimited and so powerful I call BS

Comment from : @sameetmehta2905

This video just came up on my YouTube feed and the speaker's name caught my attention, solely because of his later research and hypothesis regarding human empathybrProfessor Bloom came up with one of the worst ideas that I have ever encountered, one that the American right-wing was quite eager to spread as a valid way to regard one of our most basic and positive emotional qualities The idea was that empathy was a negative factor in our ability to make sound decisions in the most vital areas of society That we must suppress such emotions in order to think and act rationally in dealing with important issuesbrHe even went so far as to somehow blame empathy for bad decisions, hastily made in emotional reactions to serious problemsthis is complete nonsense, as our emotions are constantly being exploited and manipulated by the very forces that claim to supposedly favor solely rational thinkingbrI was quickly alarmed by the whole premise that he was presenting on an accompanying speaking tour and the more I watched, the more appalled I became that anyone could seriously entertain and posit such an anti-social idea, decrying one of our most basic emotional building blocks in the formation and maintenance of human societal interactionsbrWhat Professor Bloom completely missed, was that our emotions help to provide impetus for our actions in the first place and that relying only on cold technocratic thinking has never solved anything in a positive way, because it ignores the human factors necessary to understand human problems and how to implement solutions that humans will find satisfactorybrWe don't hear about this nonsensical hypothesis anymore, because it was never going to withstand any level of critical scrutiny in the first placebrJust a bit of context, in which to view anything that Prof Bloom has to offer us
