How to live an intellectual life | Zena Hitz | Big Think

What makes someone an intellectual?

😂😂😂😂I can't spell genius

Briefly I was a material soul despite my life philosophy. I was a failure. I visit a church. I discover the BIBLE in 2010 I concluded God himself is an intellectual. My journey of knowledge started. Intellectualism has something spiritual . And when you combine your cognitive ability and spiritualism you become a god . That's my own experience.

Easy... No.

reflect on the purpose and meaning behind busy lives
highlights the importance of leisure and moments that truly matter
engage in activities like reading, thinking, and observing that bring personal fulfillment and growth

feel good video. With no actual content.
Useless. filled with Trivial shit.

Hollywood itself is a distortion.

IMA CUT IT SHORT FOR THE MOST OF YALL, NAH YOU AINT G

She is so relaxed confident and natural in what she's saying. Just fell in live with the topic she was talking about❤

No such thing, don’t be a douche bag

"We can always become more human"
Cancer cells: Yes

This is so profound. Thank you

This video would be better titled: all the things we think you should do if you want to look smart. Disappointed in some of the content coming from this channel.

Amen🙏🏽

I love BigThink

No, I'm not

really resonated to that bit bout albert

Einstein was also an accomplished violinist and had a life immersed in art and culture - something we should value more.

Receiving an unfavorable hand at the start can make life as an intellectual quite miserable.

Couldn’t they have given her a chair that is big enough for her?

I am unemployed, I'm weird and have puffy hair...that's why I'm smart.

I"m obsessed with this channel

what she told only she understands.

As an intellectal I disagree.

Like a Buddhist?

I'm sorry to have come here with preconceived expectations, but I'm so lost in this video

The “genius” clickbait doesn’t do this nice discussion credit.

Sorry, but I couldn't get anything useful out of this. I watched it thinking "how can this make my life better" and decided "it doesn't help", at least not as much as other videos have.

That was beautifully said. And it has a lot of truth to it. Yet, it is also true, that some people have extraordinary cognitive abilities, in comparison to an average person. And most of them (if not all) have also some weirdness to them. As Aristotle said: "Great mind has never existed, without the touch of madness."...

For me, something else is a deep abyss. So I would rather work thank you.

All she said in this video was "be curious" lol

The Second Law of Thermodynamics only applies to closed systems. The Planet Earth is not a closed system: it receives energy from the Sun and emits energy into space, but the amount of energy it emits varies from year to year.

So the Second Law of Thermodynamics is entirely irrelevant.

Our life's quility is based upon iq

Aspiring to understand

I used to be a genius; then I had to grow up.

This is the most heard I have felt in all of Uni

Being genius is also an outcome of one's attitude towards himself.

Appeal to emotions with no clear answers to the original question!

Economy vs religions

Indeed. I never feel safer, more at ease, more at home, than when I am doing academic research and writing. But like many other human activities, it's a skill that take time and training to develop. Which is why I chuckle when I see someone claiming that they did their "own research" on a given topic. Usually, that merely means that person just looked something up on the Internet. That, of course, is not research--that's just looking stuff up on the internet. Real research is a skill that generally takes years to master, and is much more complex and nuanced than what most people call "research."

Amazing

Thank you

Great video, in the simple you always find the essential. More videos of this type please

Reading, Thinking, bird watching, walking...
These things only appear intellectual to millionares.
Not Wierd?

yea I dont know about this one chief.... correlation does not equal causation.. awkward just a load of mass produced bullshit to get you to consume their form of "educated" media. I mean who tf even is this lady?? do we just take everything as face value because it has cool edits and older people with degrees??

A nice way of thinking

Thank you!

Wow😍

I would wish intellect on my worse enemy so that he stews too much on things that may never matter. Time my enemy wastes is time not bothering me.
