@HeatherEHeying
Truth so powerful it even made the camera man shake.
Or camera woman :)
lol are you an advocate of terminology such as woman-hole covers?
Nope! But yes to him/her or s/he
It was the waves of anger rolling off that young woman in the audience.
I wish there were thousands more Heathers and Brets in this world. They are so wonderful
There are, but in the midst of billions of dodos, they're hard to find.
@@PinkAmadeus Maybe they're (at least becoming) a silent majority?
Thank you for speaking publicly.
You are a lucky guy to be married to someone as intelligent and articulate as she is and the fact she's stood with you against the Evergreen insanity.
Yes to all of that, but of course she would stand with him during that Evergreen stuff -- most partners would.
You must be kidding. She's lucky too to be married to an individual such as Bret.
And she's a hottie to boot!
To me it seems they very much deserve each other, being both equaly bright.
If I remember correctly, in one of the parts of the Nayna documentaries, she says she's known him since he was 16.
heather is awesome. we need more minds like hers.
That was a meaningful sentence: "Individuals doing the right thing can not solve this problem." How true that is.
I disagree. It's the best thing we can do.
0:39 Hear what she says. "As an individual, if you stand against a mob…" - we can't do it on our very _lonesome_ own. (Or even several times that; again: listen).
Yeah, right, ydk (you don't know)… you don't, unless you _think_ . Again listen to what she says. Though now I have to ask you to listen a couple of seconds longer. As she says: you then need a lot of support. Which JBP has. So he's not a lone individual. And he didn't even start out as that, as he had an following for his lectures &c. It wasn't as big as it became, but it wasn't a lone voice crying in the desert either. Her advice is for the vast majority of individuals who are just, just not exceptional.
Joost, You left out the most important part: "Unless you have others who support you, or an institution that has your back." This was not a call to inaction, it was a call to be prudent, know who your friends are, and organize.
I really like what she had to say about interacting with the physical world- finding NON-GAMEABLE feedback
That whole part regarding students should be taught since the youngest age. It is pure wisdom.
The real world can't be summed up in a textbook; you have to be immersed in it. That's why college graduates know so much, yet sound so naive.
The picture you chose for the thumbnail is a GREAT picture! Dr. Heying’s words do not fall on deaf ears. I appreciate the position for which you stand.
i.ytimg.com/vi/WozTbBN7aoU/maxresdefault.jpg - big version.
Yeah that pic. Fucking power couple.
It is amazing that someone need to state such obvious things.
Oh man, this is gonna be good! You rock Heather + Bret!
Thank you for the point infused succinct talk on relevant topics for future higher learning. BRILLIANT
Thank you thumbs up stay Awsome.
Wonder couple! Huge fan of you both
A powerful, dearly necessary message.
Hey bret, thanks to you and your wife for undergoing all of these tribulations over these few years. God bless your union and I hope that one day we can see a better America with efforts like your families as the example.
Powerful words that even managed to shake the camera :)
Thank you.
Heather, you are brilliant. Excellent speech!
Thanks for saying it, well done.
Excellent!
Both Heather and Bret are truly great inspirations on how to be good citizens as well as mother and father as well as professors. This speach was simple yet beautiful and contained great wisdom.
Good job Heather, keep it up. You have more people than you believe backing you up,
It is so refreshing to hear an academic not speak in word salad. Speaker sounded honest & earnest.
She's awesome! Good speech, clearly stated the relevant issues. Well done!
"When someone throws a tantrum, regardless of their age, ceding to them is always the wrong response." Yes. Unfortunately that very response has been taking place, for far too long... and it's still happening in academia and elsewhere.
2nd to last part of her speech.
I'm dyslexic and am not good at math as part of this. I had to drop out of high School in part of this. They system is designed to fail me do to no fault of my own besides not trying hard enough. But also living with clinical Depression Anxiety and PTSD. Living itself was almost as hard as I could try. I did this for years refusing medication. I got better on my own. School and drugs had nothing to do with the success I have had. I am in spite of all that holds me down. I may fail at life yet, but that itself will be my fault in turn.
I am myself, only due to myself. This brings me an undescribable pride. Thank you for failing me. I will we spite you.
Great speech!
You and your wife are both such incredible people. So happy to have had the opportunity to hear you both speak.
You continue to be a personal hero for courageous words like this. Keep up the Great Work!
Fortitude comes directly to mind when Heather Heying speaks. It's moving really,
Well said love the openness i am chritian but i am not a closed book God bless you.
Amen.
Thank you, both of you.
Thank you for sharing this
Wow absolute gold!!!
Wow! Brilliant...just brilliant!
Truly a remarkable human being.
I will disagree with anyone, any place, any time. My schedule is flexible.
All the best to you and Heather. You guys are awesome and you have more support than you would ever believe.
Get Heather to read her favourite book as an audiobook. I'd buy it. She has a great voice.
Excellent speech. She has earned it the hard way! Excellent speech, excellently delivered.
Thanks for advocating for your right in the political sphere Bret. Many will have benefited from your precedent of nobility in the face of adversity.
This was great. Thank you.
Wow, that was fantastic!
Thank goodness for Heather and good-on Chi cargo Uni for setting the standard.
Powerful Heather Heying 👍
Heather Heying, the sexy rockstar that leaves men from the IDW drooling. Testimony that women with such heart can exist. And what kind of man you need to be.
Fantastic speech. Much of what she said can be applied to regular citizens in general.
Well said!
You know the effort is true when Heather at the podium
Well said Heather! Keep on keepin' on!
Thank you!
Heather is my girl!
Love her and Bret’s commentaries. They are the voice of reason in a world sullied with ideological subversions.
Heather could do voice acting.
Too bad that the punishment for seeking and speaking the truth in academics is so harsh.
Awesome! Word smith❤
That speech should have been at a packed out theatre. Bravo!
I wonder what is like to be the offspring of Brett and Heather... This couple has such powerful minds! Nuff Respect to Heather & Brett! Keep doing your thing!
Amazingly succinct and spot-on.
What a woman! Heather exudes competence with every word.
What a woman. Bret, you are a lucky man. We need to hear more from her!
"I was wrong about X, and here's Y."
I have serious admiration for this woman.
Mrs. IDW? Hang on, lemme grab my coffee. 🙏👌👍
Cars,trains and planes can break my bones but words will never hurt me,not now it seems we should engage with each other more physically so i can see and hear you........
Wow!!!! Ty.
I'm first a graduated musician, second a post-graduate engineer: YOU TWO RULE!
Yes yes yes!
The University of Chicago is an outstanding beacon of free speech and merit. The political correctness and group think on so much of today's university campuses is troubling, to say the least.
Clapping
6:10 "I was wrong about X, here's Y" but what about Z?! ;)
I listened to that remark a couple of times because I wasn't sure she said "I was wrong about X, and here's Y" or "I was wrong about X, and here's why" I never did figure it out, but I don't think it particularly matters. :-)
Welcome to the IDW.
I love you guys! It would be so awesome if y’all developed some type of online course about critical thinking, group dynamics, personal development, etc - like expand her “advice for students” section into modules with hours of lectures & content!
It is a shame what happened to you and your wife but you should be proud of how you've both handled it. I wish you both the best, I'm a liberal who's been excommunicated by those who call themselves liberals and have seemingly taken over the left, I try to be open minded and understand other people, when I try to encourage this towards those on the right (because I fear the divide in our nation is at a breaking point & must be mended ASAP) I am dismissed via insult and accused of being right (or far right) wing. I am a liberal, not a socialist, not a Marxist, those are illiberal ideologies but the far left take over has pushed me to the right out of necessity, not in any policy sense just in the search for ally's to clean the left wing of the extremists who've taken over and I see people like you and your wife as kindred spirits in that sense so more power to you both. Best regards.
That's why I just say, I am Liberal on topic x, or republican on topic y.. Etc. Much love brotha, when they sling insults, smile.
@Dominic Bristow, great advice, that's exactly what my dad taught me when i was a kid: "If you want to piss them off more than anything, just smile at them and don't let shit bother you".
@Gonzo the great, I assume you were being sarcastic and know that Bret/Heather were run out of their jobs as professors at Evergreen? If not I suggest both reading Bret/Heather's article on the topic, I think it was a NYT or WSJ op-ed but I could be mistaken, and checking out Benjamin Boyce's channel on RUclips. Ben has a few interviews with Bret/Heather and has done many many video's on the meltdown at Evergreen. if I had to sum it up in a sentence (maybe a run on so I apologize in advance) it might read: Bret was smeared as a racist for pointing out asking a group of people to leave a space based on their race is both segregation and racist so the SJW's at the school did what they do best, "protested", "rioted" as only weakling ideologue children can, and then got both Bret and his wife (because how dare she be married to someone so racist they oppose segregation) Heather fired from their jobs of over a decade. It's fucking heart breaking but it should be a wake up call even to liberals like me because it looked more like Maoist struggle sessions than an institute of higher education and makes those to the left of me who deny this problem look to be delusional at best. Great points in your last post though, nuance seems to have left the building in recent years and it is sorely needed, along with a few million pallets of benefit of the doubt, another thing sorely missing from politics/social media.
@@gonzothegreat1317 Well of course I know of the grey area, but unfortunately sometimes with a more close minded person, it is easier to just give examples of which policies or arguments you side with quickly by given example of the party pushing it. I find it much easier to do this than to extend my hand in conversation with a stranger and be struck down, labeled as to have my argument somehow dismantled. Though in the presence of someone more willing to speak and listen, I don't take these precautions. Fair point though. 👍
I know what you mean, I was recently called a Nazi by a woman I considered a friend for more than 20 years. I'm trying to find a new community.
Very brave of them to carry on through that earthquake
Beautiful!
This is so metal.
Agreed.
Brilliant
beautifully said.
What a pain it would be to argue with someone that brilliant lol. Great work, y'all!
Thank you both for your work. Gustave le Bon noted the detrimental effects of people's behavior in crowds. Perhaps in today's world the young spend their entire life inside that psychology with social media? Connecting with nature, the physical world is essential.

This.. is as moving as any Hitchens speech or Sagan speech. It is necessary, relevant, brave, and poignant. Hats off.
Dear lord, is there no tripod or steadycam? Must be a way to stabilize the image? We now carry an Einstein in our pockets, and most have no idea how it is accessed. The cameraman must layoff the energy drinks.
I whole-heartedly agree.
Brilliant Heather!
Excellent.
Excellent
brilliant speech
Really good stuff!
Her common sense and decency is a painful reminder of how sick and insane this polarized society has become. I hope her time will come, when all this madness is over.
The bottom line is that Evregreen lost two top level educators to their students and future students. Evergreen put forth the status quo from small grand standers over truth.
Brilliant! I could listen to Heather Heying all day. Heather Heying also looks like Ally Sheedy.
That's high grade truth.
I understand that academics typically form groups of academics to further a set of ideals. There are people outside academia, people who work in highly skilled fields who want to help get these ideas to a wider audience and/or brainstorm as to how we may increase and improve debate. I have spent my life in computational science. I'm not sure how I can assist. I do know that people in my field have a tremendous amount of power (I prefer "value") when it comes to getting ideas out there. I think that because the academy has traditionally been "siloed" between different fields, there has not been enough cross-disciplinary discussion between engineers, computer scientists and, say, people in the social sciences, we have not maximized our utility to political thought leaders. How do we address that? How do we start that conversation? There's more that can be done (although this is *immensely* powerful,) than putting up lectures on RUclips. As the implementors of technological progress, we need to begin to explore these ideas.
First, get organized, SJWs are coming for the STEM departments and the Linux community next. Be ready. Recognise the thin edge of the wedge when it comes.
Truth and justice must be commensurate. If they are not commensurate, there is a fundamental error with your concept of justice.
Well said! I totally agree. "Physics [i.e., hard science] comes before ethics", as the Stoics said.
Solution:: Turn off the electricity to Evergreen.
The only point i would have an alternate perspective on is wording of the statement that,
"the scientific method is the best cure for human falibility ever divised."
I would personally say that,
"in most circumstances the scientific method currently proves to be the most reliable tool for exposing human falibility."
The difference in these 2 statements being that the first statment exuded an air of superiority, that feels dismissive of other methods that could be more useful in certain situations. This second statment for me is more scientifically informative
Evergreen college made a huge mistake letting her and Bret go.
Too true: 4:28 Administrators should not allow campuses to be held hostage. There's *a dearth of adults* , making unpopular decisions and standing by them.
Pun certainly unintended: 6:09 "I was wrong about X, here's Y." :D
