I wake up at 4 in the morning to be able to work on my computer, think, run, write or sometimes just walk outside and stare at my dog. I do this because from 4 to 6:30 I don't see a hear a single human being is amazing.
David Quintana Indeed
David Quintana I should try this it sound blissful
I also wake up at 4, mainly to write though sometimes I just end up staring at my cat, and contemplating.
David Quintana I wake up at 4 and study lol and then go to school by 6
David Quintana that shares me tho I don’t like being alone
I like how he doesn’t pause to allow the audience to laugh. He is not working for the laugh or applause, he is working the point
I know this video is old, but it holds a special place for me. This must have been the first Ted Talk I ever watched, oh so many years ago, and I thought it was so goddamn funny at the time. I still think it is. A classic.
Who is this guy?!! Absolutely incredible speaker. Is he an actor?? I don't care what was all this talk about, but he kept me fascinated, focus, smiling the whole time😳
lol
Juliene Bernardes He’s a poet. Watch his poetry. Type in Rives Dej Jam Poetry
I actually found this while looking through Ted Talks to watch….at 4am.
OMG I just noticed...it IS actually 4am right now 😂
The reason 4 am is such a controversial time is cause on an emotional level adults doing work and procrastinating recreationally find the hour from 4 to 5 to be the turning point where one day changes into the next. Even though we can rationally tell that midnight is the time shift to the next day, on an emotional level we feel that the new day has approached as we start approaching the morning light at around 5 to 6 which infers that 4 am tends to be the real end of a day to us.
This is a very good example of how information can be cherry picked to form outlandish conspiracy theories. And it's funny.
discovered at 4am... coincidence?
Adi Carlisle AI of youtube did it
Adi Carlisle
nope, creepy
Same
same
no
Possibly my favorite Ted Talk ever.
What about when Gatsby and Mr. Wolfsheim do a shady business deal at "about four o'clock in the morning"? The great gatsby was published in 1925
"Meme" in 2007? I didn't recall it was used at such an early time.
The word "meme" is derived from an ancient Greek word meaning "to imitate". The word has been around since 1976.
Depends on how old you are. In 2007, I was 26. I saw the internet from AOL 2.0 lol. Meme has been around for a long time.
At least 2006, my dude
As someone else already said the word had been around at least since 1976.
There's another old Ted talk where some researcher talks about memes and memetics. I think it was related to an experience she had with mormons.
Kanye West
"4 in the morning, and I'm zoning they say I'm possesed, it's an omen..."
lol genius
Genius 💯
I got up and watched this video at 4 in the morning.
victorJ2050 I'm watching this at 3:00 am. why did I have too wake up at this time? ;-;
Me too
i understood nothing
ayub abdikarim me too😂😂
ayub abdikarim
I think...that is at the time when Allaah subhana Hu wa tala decends to the lowest heavens. ( check some hadeeth about it) Hence the night pray (Attahajud) - is a potential time for dua to be accepted. Plus starting your business or studies or anything else for that matter ,from that time onwards, insha Allaah. Has with it emence blessings for whoever is up and active in something one way or another. It has reminded myself of this blessed time that is available to all who seek it. Hope that helps bro. Peace.
( just to explain a little - A person would derive the most blessings, success or whatever you what to call it, in what he or she is doing) Hence and Allaah knows best: " For the most part...you see that Wealthy people are awake and active at these times taking advantage of the time...but in the unseen forces in life...they are actually conciously or unconsciously reaping the blessings and benefits of starting anything at the peak blessed time on the morning before sunrise. These guys have named it as 4am".
Anything can be turned into a conspiracy theory. That's point of the talk.
neither did the speaker
He is a great speaker.
Chris Penney but us he saying anything?
Charles Harding ‘is’
@@TheMiist No, and thats the whole point of the talk
"4:30 in the morning, I'm milking cows - Jebadiah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows - fool..." - Weird Al Yankovich "Amish Paradise"
This guy's delivery style is incredible!
Musical.
Rythmic.
As a public speaker myself I like to see (should that be hear?) someone who can deliver well, He's a master!
There's a really poetic quality to it.
Hm - as I typed this I checked the video description. I see he's a poet (previously I'd only read the title) so that actually isn't so surprising.
His delivery is still fantastic though.
:D
Funny thing is, I don’t consider myself to be a creative artsy type (more of a book smart nerd) but whenever I wake up between 345-4, on occasions I have all sorts of ideas and write poems. More than one at a time. I literally have to stop myself. It even feels as if I’m operating like a computer while it’s all going on. Idea after idea. I surprise myself, but sadly haven’t made a habit out of it yet. I should. Maybe more people should. (Now as a I write it’s 636, been up since 4 am) 🤯
am i the only one who loves how charismatic this guy is?
Because it's too late to still be up and way to early to just be getting up.
Shinedown: "It's 4:03 and I can't sleep without you next to me, I toss and turn like the sea."
He is one of the best slam poets in the country!
Unarguably
Definately the most humorous TED posting.
There is a bewitching hour between 3 and 4 in the morning. If you've ever been severely ill or suffered from insomnia, you will find yourself awake at 3am and through the 4 o'clock hour.
Hahaha once i got up at exactly 4:20 universe has a good sense of humor xD
I'm 16 years late but I'm gonna save this to my Watch Later queue to watch at 4am.
I love being awake at 4 A.M. Everyone else is sleeping and I'm free to do whatever I want. I think I'm more awake between 4 and 5 in the morning than any other time of day.
clitoraborealis r
Everyone who wakes up at 4am thinks that everyone else is still asleep. All of them!
Then u won't get sleep in the afternoon? Or drowsy
4 in the morning is when i feel like i am at the height of my creativity.
The problem is going to bed early but not wake up early
As I sat here and watched this video, at 4a.m., I eagerly awaited the commercial at the end for the all new 15 year old BMW Hydrogen 7 automobile.
There is also Gwen Stefani song called 4 in the morning.
4:30 is the dividing line between late night and early mornig
Pure, unadulterated genius!
I put this on my list "Sleep" as part of my research, i didn't learn anything useful to help me wake up at 4:00 in the morning...
But now I some artistic contribution into the project to wake up early.
He escrito esto, primero como registro de vista, y segundo como registro temporal... quiero ver este comentario en 10 años, como la mayoría que ahora tienen ese tiempo.
Someone give this man a Nobel Prize!
Rives always crushes it.
4am by Kaskade
Incredible, I almost understood nothing from this talk, except for few laughs
Awesome!!!!! It just goes to prove you can find connection between everything if you look hard enough:)
Watsky - 4AM Monday
You guys must live in the suburbs. I use to live in NYC. 4am is just another time.
Watsky
"It's almost 4am, Monday in my room again"
Now there’s the song called 4am and also they say “4am” in sicko mode
Charlie Clark by Taeko Ohnuki the one?
that was absolutely brilliant!
@6:00 "Wait wait wait wait, let me get this strait......Matt!"
"Laughter and applause"
SO WHO IS THIS MATT???
THE MYSTERY CONTINUES
Matt Groening, the creator of 'The Simpsons'.
I scoffed at the descriptiong, but this really IS lyrical origami. It all.. comes together.
Well presented!
That was awesome. Not coincidentally, working backwards, I started watching this clip at 4:04 in the morning. Coincidentally? Oh, I think not.
I thought this is a place for ideas to be spread and not just poetry slams
extraordinarily engaging!
I see a lot of mixed comments. Just wanted to say I really enjoyed it. I think the people pointing out you could cherry pick examples from any time are right but it doesn’t matter. It’s not supposed to be an information talk it’s a performance, it’s supposed to entertain you. Which for me it very much did.
I'm watching this at 4 am in the morning
"Morning consists of exactly the hours when McDonald's serves breakfast." - My Mom
from an analytical standpoint the answer is simple
at 3 a.m. not everybody has gone to sleep yet
at 5 a.m. some people start getting up, especially the older ppl
so 4 a.m. is simply the middle ground where the least % of people are awake
That was fun. :) Great speaker!
wow... so all this crazy obsession of his with 4am in the morning links back to his college romance... which was explained in his another TED talk nice years later.... The Museum of Four in the Morning.... wow.... very romantic....
Exactly !!!!!!!!!!! I Love It!
Rives is so freakin' amazing.
"4 am in the morning, damit listen to me" elton john's someone saved my life tonight
The oldest TED talk in youtube ?
Btw, great presentation !
his point is that it's an amazing string of "coincidences" that tie alot of "random" events together...
Illuminati confirmed.
Who cares about the untouchables!
hahahahah
Listening to a song right now called 4 a.m. by Poison Idea and it reminded me of this great speech!
Started watching at 5:19 in the morning...
But this video is HIGH-LARIOUS!!!!
Rives is so ridiculous. I adore him.
The used. The song is called taste of ink and the lyric is. "The taste of ink is getting old It's, 4 o'clock in the fucking morning"
Me too! I almost wasn't going to watch this video because of my perceived pretentiousness of "lyrical origami", plus I'd just watched his internet poem which I just did not like at all... but this was awesome.
Well it's 4am on Christmas day as I'm watching this.
WOW! Amazing... I'm writing this in my hotel room at a business trip and it's just a few minutes to 4 in the morning. How did it happen? Freaky
Fun fact: Hour of the Wolf is the time at about 3:00 a.m. to 5:00 and that's when the body's activity is at its lowest. If you're awake during this time it is also the time of day you feel like the worst, regardless of how much sleep you got. This is also the time most of the humans are being born or dies.
Ok lets reach here, what if werewolves are real? Perhaps we would romanticize our time?
Its an incorrect fact, I wake up between 4 and 5 and it’s the time I’m relaxed and active. I get a lot of work done in that time
u sure?
Waking up at 3 or 4 in the morning. Is for... drum roll, please........
To pray the night prayer, of course.
genius. genuine article
why is this even a ted talk?
Dan exactly.
Why this can't be a TED talk?
Well, what do you think is the point he wants to make?
TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design. Rives is entertaining. Voila. TED Talk.
@@lilyp2216 They still have poets. Rives did several more talks, the most recent 5 years ago.
Pause at 4:18 The guy in the audience with the black hair and glasses leaning back looks like he would be thinking "I don't care about all this, they are just stupid coincidences." Well listen they are more than just coincidences, they are VIPs (Very Important Patterns) that actually have significant meaning, more coincidental than just running into someone you know at the store. Sit up and pay attention to Rives he works hard for this !
You literally missed the entire point of this talk which is that it's easy to just pick cherry pick whatever you want to creat conspiracy theories.
Can somebody describe what sort of speaking style this is? I have university professors who lecture this way and I find it insanely hard to follow. This exact style and language use.
Spoken Word
And yet another piece of the puzzle: Stu makes chocolate pudding at 4 in the morning...
i'm not sure what i just watched but i loved it
Now this is what happens when someone actually puts effort and thought into what they say.
Someone sent me this at 4 am since I posted I was awake and I watched it at 4 am.
I timed this so I finish watching it at exactly this time, 4:00 AM.
Great speaker .. but wtf is he talking about !! 🙃
lol just listenin to Eminem 3:am, i noticed he says your walking down a horror corridoor, its almoast 4 in the morning, Rives has a point, its everywhere
I discovered this at 3 pm. (Oslo, GMT +1)
However... This means that in on Christmas Island, and atoll belonging to The Republic of Kiribati, the very same country one of my former lecturers in journalism was infatuated by, an atoll where the UK performed nuclear tests during the 50's, the same decade my parents were born, an atoll where the second biggest city has 1881 inhabitants, the same number I often call to find someone's phone number...
It's 4 am.
At least RUclips is suggesting some awesome videos on how good is to wake up early. I thought this video would talk about it.
4 O'Clock by Emilie Autumn should have been in that song medley, too. Hahah.
The intro music to these older TED videos roughly approximates the Doppler effect, in a situation where Danny Elfman is running past you at high speed.
Coincidentally I started this video exactly at 4 AM ! INSANE !!
This guy is good from those who are good
Now all we need to figure out who were the four that were mourning.
Technically saw this for the first time at 4:30 eastern, 1:30 pacific😂
I love it!
This was amazing!! Well done.
:-D
Now...who takes this seriously?
two hours after two oclock in the morning. thats four a.m. im getting chills down my spine. super weird.
Jason Miller ?
Jason Miller -Yes and 3 hours after 3 is 6am. So what is your point?
oh for fuck's sake, it's a common time pick because it's halfway between going to bed at twelve and waking up at 8. Why is this even worthy of comment?
lamuella 3 am is between 11 pm and 7 am.
and there are plenty of literary references to that time.
@MousePADDING Actually 4 In The Morning is a song by Gwen Stefani, not Lady GaGa, so of course you'd get more hits.
Why not Google 4am next time.
Didn't .38 Special or Night Ranger have a song in the late 80s about 'Four In The Morning'?
Came from part 2.
I get up at 4 n love it
Started working at a clinic have to b there 530
Ahead of the game
And early am Is best time to meditate manifest n reflect
What was the main useful point of the whole talk?
Guys, you should check why this guys is so obsessed with 4 am in the morning... I think it's the most romantic thing I ever witnessed. Just check "4 am museum TED". It's unbelievable : )
"I sneak in my own house, it's four in the morning
I had too much to drink, said I was out with the boys
I creep in my bedroom, I slip into bed
