1. 0:00I ask my students, "How did you spend
2. 0:01your day?" "I woke up. My phone is my
3. 0:03alarm clock. I scrolled my phone over
4. 0:05breakfast. I went to work on Zoom. I
5. 0:07dated on the apps. I saw my friends on
6. 0:10social media. I watched YouTube shorts,
7. 0:13and I went to bed."
8. 0:15That is not a real life.
9. 0:23>> Hello everyone. I'm Yoppy from Yoppy's
10. 0:25English School.
11. 0:34>> [music]
12. 0:55>> By the way, I've got the link for the
13. 0:56original clip down in the description,
14. 0:58so please [music] check that out. Let's
15. 0:59dive in.
16. 1:00>> For 7 years, I've been giving my
17. 1:02students on the very first day of class
18. 1:04a little quiz to see whether or not they
19. 1:06know the meaning of their life, and I'm
20. 1:07going to give it to you right now.
21. 1:09Here's how you pass. You have answers.
22. 1:12Here's how you fail. You say,
23. 1:14"Those are questions I've never thought
24. 1:16about before." Or, "Those questions
25. 1:17don't have answers." Question number
26. 1:19one.
27. 1:21Why are you alive?
28. 1:24Question number two. For what would you
29. 1:26give your life?
30. 1:28Why would you voluntarily die right now
31. 1:31happily?
32. 1:33Now, once again, if you have answers to
33. 1:34these questions,
34. 1:36good.
35. 1:37But, if you don't, that's a problem
36. 1:39because you'll be at loose ends. You
37. 1:41won't know the meaning of your life.
38. 1:42You'll be
39. 1:43unhappy.
40. 1:44Now, for the longest time,
41. 1:46my students had answers to these
42. 1:47questions. But, what I started to find
43. 1:50some years ago is that my students
44. 1:52started to fail this exam.
45. 1:55They were mystified by these questions,
46. 1:56and I couldn't figure it out. Why is it
47. 1:58that these questions that should be
48. 2:00self-evidently possible to answer became
49. 2:03impossible. This has a biological
50. 2:05explanation, my friends. It's all about
51. 2:08something that we call in my field
52. 2:09hemispheric lateralization. Fancy way of
53. 2:12saying the brain has two hemispheres,
54. 2:15and they do different things. This is a
55. 2:18picture that's that's that's designed to
56. 2:20illustrate a very important point.
57. 2:23The left hemisphere of your brain is the
58. 2:25part that deals with complicated
59. 2:27problems of things and information.
60. 2:31It's the how-to and what of life. It's
61. 2:34what made it possible for you to get
62. 2:35from your hotel to this conference. It's
63. 2:38what makes it possible for you to figure
64. 2:40out what to do all day, how to earn your
65. 2:42living.
66. 2:43Now, that's different than the right
67. 2:45hemisphere of the brain, which is
68. 2:46dedicated to the complex problems.
69. 2:48That's not the same thing. Complex
70. 2:50problems are easy to understand and
71. 2:53impossible to solve.
72. 2:54Love, meaning, mystery, faith.
73. 3:00Those are complex problems dealt with in
74. 3:02the right hemisphere of the brain, the
75. 3:03why of life.
76. 3:05Life needs both hemispheres. You need to
77. 3:08know why you're doing things, and then
78. 3:09you need to know how to do them. That's
79. 3:11how the brain is supposed to work.
80. 3:14Now, to give you an example of this, a
81. 3:15left hemispheric problem in my life is
82. 3:18my car. I own a car. I don't know how it
83. 3:22works, but I could figure it out. I
84. 3:24could watch YouTube videos or read a
85. 3:26book or or get a teacher, and I could
86. 3:28figure out how my complicated car works.
87. 3:30I could solve the problem.
88. 3:33On the right side of my brain, I have
89. 3:34other problems that matter a lot more to
90. 3:36me. My marriage is a complex problem.
91. 3:40I will never solve my marriage.
92. 3:44I've been married happily 35 years, and
93. 3:48it's still not solved.
94. 3:50>> [applause]
95. 3:51>> But my point is this, that's why I love
96. 3:54my marriage and I don't love my car.
97. 3:58Because I love complex things of love
98. 4:00and meaning. I don't love complicated
99. 4:03things like information and stuff.
100. 4:06Now you know where I'm going with this,
101. 4:07don't you?
102. 4:09Our life has been changed and I started
103. 4:11to see the effects of my meaning quiz in
104. 4:132008 and 2009. What happened in 2008 and
105. 4:172009? This happened in 2008 and 2009.
106. 4:21When you look at your phone, which the
107. 4:24average American does 205 times a day,
108. 4:28you push your activity to the left
109. 4:31hemisphere of your brain, away from
110. 4:33mystery and meaning and to information
111. 4:36and things.
112. 4:38We are living a left hemispheric
113. 4:40existence, but we crave right
114. 4:43hemispheric meaning and it's ruining our
115. 4:46lives. I ask my students, how did you
116. 4:48spend your day? I woke up. My phone is
117. 4:51my alarm clock. I scrolled my phone over
118. 4:53breakfast. I went to work on Zoom. I
119. 4:56dated on the apps. I saw my friends on
120. 4:59social media. I watched YouTube shorts
121. 5:02and I went to bed.
122. 5:04That is not a real life.
123. 5:07Now what's the problem with that? You
124. 5:09know what you want in life.
125. 5:11You have lots of things, good, but what
126. 5:13you want is in real life love. What you
127. 5:16want is deep faith in the transcendent,
128. 5:19in the divine, in God and that's absent
129. 5:23in the 205 checks in the left hemisphere
130. 5:26of your brain being pushed by your
131. 5:28devices to the information and things of
132. 5:32life. So how are we going to do it? Cuz
133. 5:35that's really what you came for, is
134. 5:36solutions. Number one, rage, rage
135. 5:40against the machine.
136. 5:42How do we do that? Well, personally we
137. 5:44need to do this ourselves. Well, that
138. 5:46that that the data are clear. The
139. 5:47science is settled.
140. 5:49First hour of the day,
141. 5:51mealtimes,
142. 5:53last hour of the day,
143. 5:55neurocognitive programming in real life.
144. 5:58The science is very clear that you don't
145. 6:00have to throw your phone in the ocean.
146. 6:01You just need a new relationship with
147. 6:03it.
148. 6:05But but it it goes beyond that. Here's a
149. 6:07controversial proposal. No devices
150. 6:10in any school from kindergarten through
151. 6:13PhD.
152. 6:14>> [applause]
153. 6:17>> We need a new relationship with a
154. 6:19technology that's subjugating us. We
155. 6:21have a missed and disordered
156. 6:23relationship with these devices and it
157. 6:25is child abuse if we don't start
158. 6:27standing up to this. And if you want a
159. 6:29better culture, solve this.
160. 6:31>> [applause]
161. 6:31>> If we have a proper ordering with the
162. 6:34technology around us, if we have a
163. 6:35proper ordering with the people around
164. 6:38us, and if we teach these simple things,
165. 6:41we can unbreak our brains. And in so
166. 6:43doing that,
167. 6:45we will know the meaning in our lives
168. 6:47and teach people the meaning in theirs.
169. 6:50God bless you and thank you for your
170. 6:51commitment.
171. 6:52>> [applause]
172. 7:02>> But if you don't, that's a problem
173. 7:04because you'll be at loose ends because
174. 7:06you'll be at loose ends.
175. 7:07>> At loose ends. At loose ends.
176. 7:20Loose wa kotei sarete inai hodoketa to
177. 7:23iu imi desu. And [music] wa himo ya ito
178. 7:26nado no hashi o arawashite imasu. A

180. 7:31himo ya ito no hashi no koto. Soko kara

188. 8:02>> loose ends since I quit my job.
189. 8:09She seemed at loose ends all summer
190. 8:11after her kids moved out.
191. 8:15>> [music]
192. 8:22>> If you are at a loose end this weekend,
193. 8:23why don't you come over?
194. 8:28>> [music]
195. 8:37>> Why is it that these questions that
196. 8:39should be self-evidently possible to
197. 8:41answer became impossible? Questions that
198. 8:44should be self-evidently possible to
199. 8:46answer
200. 8:47>> self-evidently
201. 8:48self-evidently
202. 9:03self-evident
203. 9:12self-evidently
204. 9:24self-explanatory
205. 9:32obviously or clearly [music]
206. 9:44>> [music]
207. 9:51>> It's self-evidently wrong to cheat on a
208. 9:53test.
209. 9:59Self-evidently, children need time to
210. 10:02play and explore.
