About

Help! I can't stop thinking, my head is going to explode! My only hope is to drain my brain by making terrible YouTube videos, so you all have to suffer with me. By day I am salty marketing strategist, and by night an amateur philosopher, semantics aficionado, abecedarian anthropologist, aspirant theoretical physicist, demolition deconstructionist, and cunning linguist.

Video Description

Growing up, we are constantly told to "be nice." Ironically, this expression teaches us to tailor our behavior to external social expectations. This hurts our mental health, harms our relationships, and fosters a world of sociopathic behavior. We too easily transpose "nice" and "kind" in our speech, and they are not even close to the same thing. Kindess is what the world really needs. Learning to distinguish between these words will help expose the wolves among us, and better examine our own behavior. 00:00:00 Kind vs. Nice, Fight! 00:01:05 Being "Nice" is an Act 00:03:26 Kindess Doesn't Always Feel Good 00:06:50 Nice Villians and Kind Heroes 00:08:02 Being "Nice" or "Kind" Affects Your Mental Health 00:11:03 The Dark Truth About "Nice" People You can see all my "Words MADDER" videos here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhloW30YwYviHyXN4gnP-Esi_sj5Xaf23&si=mBixylrmB0C-vzgm The book I mention, "Crucial Conversations" really is worth a read.
