- Lauren Mayberry, the lead singer of the band CHVRCHES, stops by Google to discuss music, gender, and social media. Following up on her article about online misogyny for the Guardian, Lauren talks about the events that led her to write the article, and the response she has received.
The conversation was moderated by Paul Soulos and features a musical performance by CHVRCHES after the discussion.
"Lauren and rest of the band" Just say their names, there's only two of them
they looked pissed when he said that lmao
I literally just heard of this girl today after watching the star wars show & i thought she was a total cutie but i had no idea she was so cool & smart
Thank you Lauren Mayberry, you have made my world a better place!
Lol the looks on Martin and Iian when Lauren points at them with the expression "Dont mess up"
where is that? I want to see their faces!!
what's wrong with sounding nervous the music is what counts better than being brash ,arrogant and big headed cvrches are great
Smart band. Would be great to hear them discuss the reasoning behind their locations on the stage. Why does Lauren place herself on the right of both males in the band?
Freedom of speech has to be absolute. You can't box in "freedom of hateful speech" and categorise that as something we should remove from the freedom of speech right. As soon as that is in place the definition of hateful will start to be stretched and mutated until it encompasses offensive speech and that is a completely different game. It is only a step or two away from being able to police what people are allowed to say.
Freedom of speech is a hard won right and should not be so lightly abandoned. The price for free speech for all is the possibility of having to hear things that you do not like.
Once free speech starts to disintegrate so does our right to dissent.
And in truth, if someone says something rude or offensive or sexist or racist, ignore it, deal with it and move on. You have the right to be offended, but you do not have the right to remove a persons right to speak, no matter how terrible their choice of words.
+Cody Miller Citations please. Men get the same level of shit online and offline as women. We are just temepered to deal with it from walking. Men are far more subject to physical violence than women when growing up. Men are given as much verbal and psychological shit as women.
As for being doxxed? I could give you dozens of examples of women, feminists doxxing men, doxxing women, doxxing other feminists. It's not a problem exlusive to women I'm afraid. I've had it done to me.
I had photographs of the outside of my house emailed to me by a guy who said he was coming to get me. Don't think for a second that there problems are female only. They are not. But what they really are, is mostly phantoms. Online shit talking, trolling and bullshit. You take the amount of shit posting online daily and then the amount of actual physical attacks or visitations in the same day and the numbers would be so far apart that I have trouble even trying to work it out.
And the atwood quote? Rhetorical, fearmongering nonsense. Show me the amount of women killed last year due to online threats. Go ahead.
+Jammsbro I don't see why freedom of speech has to be absolute, this is quite an immature and oversimplified way of seeing things in my opinion
+bilou You can call it immature and oversimplified as an attempt at insulting the idea all you want. But until you explain a better way, shut up.
Well, I just meant to say that it's like saying that freedom of action should be absolute, or should not exist, this is binary thinking, it may sound like a rational way to think on paper, but in reality we could come up with more subtle compromises, actually, I think we need to. Furthermore, freedom of speech can never be absolute, since we are conditioned by our language, our habits, peer pressure,... Plus I don't believe freedom to do whatever the 3éèè you want is a goal in se. And I'm sorry I my comment offended you.
+bilou I said freedom of speech, not freedom of action. Totally different.
As for you commenting on it being "binary", it's not, it is singular. Freedom of speech and nothing else. No "subtle compromises" that is a cowards code for telling people that at some point we can remove your right to dissent or expression.
And who gets to decide on these subtle compromises? You? No. Free speech means having to put up with shit you might hate hearing, and that basic human right ensures that at any time, you have the right to express yourself. I won't ask that it is removed from you, so don't you try to tell me what I can or cannot say.
Was this directed by Tommy Wiseau? Everyone looked so awkward. It looked too good to be true, I swear TW or Tim and Eric are behind all this.
I believe it is a minority of insecure people who leave aggressive insulting comments. Unfortunately right wing ideologies, gangster rap, homophobia, misogyny are all still present problems the rest of us have to deal with. So if you are an attractive intelligent women (making non-hateful music), you will unfortunately be hated on by that minority.
They just jelly and compensating for something they'll never have. You speak the truth.
The minority is manifesting itself and becoming normalized. Which is why to her it doesn't seem like a minority thing. Less sever cases of misogyny and other prejudices become the majority.
the guy is probably much more nervous than she is.
I think he's more nervous about what she's going to say. 😂
I'd be nervous if I were sitting next to Lauren 🙂🙃
the interviewer is either really nervous. an alien. or a robot. you decide...
+Titeillest A nervous robotic alien?
He's none of those things. He's at Google. He's a nerd.
Which probably makes him all three of those things.
Titeillest all of the above
you forgot "soy boy" :)
"No offence.... cause I know you guys are.. the internet" LOL
I love when lauren sings "when it all scuffs up" to avoid swearing and iain and martin look like they're trying not to laugh
@Nat Asmai 48 minutes into this video while playing, The Mother We Share.
First time I've seen this and that is a funny moment :)
The host seems.... way too like, I don't want to say creepy, and I don't want to say detached. But it feels like he's got no emotion. It's very odd. She's talking about getting flashed by some rando's and he doesn't offer any condolences or any sort of empathizing. I don't know, its just an odd demeanor I guess. EDIT: He gets better towards the end, but lol @ the part where he's just zoning and staring off in to space as she's talking. So strange haha.
He is probably just one of those types of introverts. No harm done.
Gumbo72203 No, I feel like he's doing a good job. There's different types of hosts/interviewers, some take that very emotional and empathetic route, others take the steering of conversation and objectiveness. Depends on personality.
I do like this guys way (the latter) because he will ask the things I want to hear answers to in a good way that maybe doesn't appeal to emotion. I also like the empathetic way, for the obvious reasons, but I dislike it in the way that it can occasionally be annoying or intrusive, and maybe seem insincere. Obviously this depends on how good the interviewer is.
Gumbo72203 If I was sitting next to Lauren Mayberry I'd be nervous too
+Gumbo72203 He is nervous I can totally relate to him but I have social anxiety so maybe thats why
+Gumbo72203 And the rest of the comments here demonstrate the reactionary judgements of the internet. This is a person we are all talking about. It makes me wonder whether some of you have met many humans. We all are different in our articulation, behaviours and expressions. This boils down to a whole host of variables which construct the complexities of a human being. Shall we start analyzing every other person based on your relatively narrow perception of watching a video on the internet?.
What we should be concentrating on is the content of this video. This comment is immature and irrelevant. He might be nervous, introverted or otherwise. But you have to question, what value does this have to communicate this publically on the internet. Though I have to expect a high-level of inanity on RUclips comments.
I think it was a really interesting interview which obviously raises questions but is it realistic that we can police the interent.
Haha, so funny 48:01 when Lauren say something like "scuffs"? instead of "fucks" and then she have problem from starting laughing which brings smile to the rest of the band members lol :D
i love her perspective of things.
and the band.
oh, the band.
She's fucking 27. Unbelievable.
+Gigatless she looks 15?! That's what I thought.
***** are you going to post it every year now? Get a life.
+Gigatless Careful now, you're potentially making a comment that talks about her physical appearance, you might be committing hateful speech.
She always seems nervous in interviews and performances.
She doesn't look nervous to me, an incredibly talented and confident person who's also very intelligent
Though the Google hangup with them is sad to me, they're a huge corporate monster now. YT have allowed an incredible amount of racist, sexist, homophobic etc etc comments for a very long time, as a company they should be ashamed.
I've begun to see Google in the same light as MS, a conglomerate, share price matters most. Social conscious is only a monetary consideration.
maybe she's just high, who knows
definitely nervous habits
no shit alexia! looool
Gregory Fitzgerald or maybe because there's a bunch of people watching her with inflated personas of themselves thinking they are the creators of the internet. Many people can't do public speaking, I think she did that well to an audience whose heads are stuck so far up their own arseholes they can observe their own intestines.
I still don't understand why Chvurches would do this interview, other than money, it seems to promote a conglomerate
Dude in the background is having a hell of a time with that fan.
Michael Thornton hahaha i'm glad i'm not the only one who noticed that!
I was thinking I'd like to dilly dally all day and say I work for Google too! the whole video was him going here, going there, shifting a map this way and that way, lol
I love how when the guy first shows up, they're talking about interacting with fans.
+Michael Thornton #CHVRCHES #Fan Club :-)
+Michael Thornton - That's a big fan.
Omg she is soooo adorably shy!!
3:03 get a load of this fuckin' guy.
Michael Craig What in the fuck are you going on about? Calm your fucking neckbeard for a second you manchild. I was just pointing out the fucking dork with the google glasses sitting in the audience that the camera guy thought it was necessary to film.
There are no spooky scary SJW's coming for you.
sorry I thought maybe you were bitching at me for who knows why.. its all good, no worries.. with this electric communication, it is easy to misunderstand someone! When people talk face to face, as they used to, it was way easier to understand what someone was saying and who they were talking to, or about.. no big deal.. its cool,
He's measuring her Power Level
I think everyone at Google must be tone deaf to social nuance, despite their purported inclusiveness. Why would they not seat the rest of the band and include them in the conversation? Lauren is definitely including their input by using the plural in her answers and seems very nervous compared to the other interviews I've seen when she had her band mates sitting alongside her. You can tell it's really pissing them off. It would help defuse the weird creepiness of the guy in the green shirt. What a tool.
agreedddd
She's so tiny and she talks so shy and awkwardly. It's adorable.
Lucas Farias ?
+Lucas Farias You are either a troll or a very sad person.
I hope you're still proud of that comment one year later.
@Lucas Farias I hope you are still proud of that comment 3yrs later. I wonder if you have grown up yet?
she hates this sort of comments
She might look tiny, but she is such a strong woman with a strong heart, and a very clear mind, also, creative for beautiful songs.
She's an incredible sport, such an inspiration. The world needs more women like her. The more we engage with these issues the more flexible the bounds of what is considered acceptable behaviour. Because that is the governing force of freedom of expression. If people didn't think it was acceptable to make comments of the nature Lauren described then they wouldn't make them. A very considered and articulated discussion ending with the very real threat 'I will be a gun and it's you I'll come for' watch out trolls of the internet!!!
Its not acceptable behaviour, they know its not acceptable behaviour. The world needs less men like that.
@@marthag3537 lol OK martha
@@marthag3537 Crazy people need to be treated as crazy again. Social media is a cancer on functional society. If most men caught someone talking to ANYONE like that, that person would deeply regret getting caught. Online, there's the added issue of anonymity. So sick people are less afraid to be evil to others.
It's a real problem.
This talk is great. I'm so happy to hear someone using her fame to express positive messages for women.
I have the utmost respect for Lauren (and her band mates). I applaud her efforts to combat sexism, misogyny and abuse.
Saturn Gold They can do with their music whatever the fuck they want. So what if it drives away potential listeners? It's their choice.
Saturn Gold The chances are that said people are already being dicks to the band, so they're not losing anything. And then there's the question of whether they even want to sell anything to these morons.
Lauren is a great woman and a talented musician. She sounds very smart and level headed. She says things how she sees them and doesn't sensationalize or minimize real gender issues. It sucks that women in leadership positions are constantly asked to speak on behalf of all women.
what a woman, what a band. Chvrches.
this girl is so fuckin beautiful i was entranced when i saw her at bonnaroo a couple years ago haha
dark eyes....beautiful voice...intelligible...she's not only spatial, but very sociable. She's more along the lines of philosophy. Her inquiries and statements are in correlation with studiers. Her thoughts are extreme and very in depth. She possesses a mind of her own and is not hesitant to express her own mind. Lauren Mayberry is one of a kind.
TheBrando382 lol
Who at Google made the choice of the host for this Google talks video? He looks like a deer caught in headlights. Did Google just grab a random programmer and threw him in front of the camera? He looks almost as nervous as Lauren does.
...and the guy in the audience at 3:03 with the Google Glasses, LOL!, what a lame product placement shot. No one outside of Google wears Google Glasses when they're part of an audience watching an interview.
Here is the deal. Here is what I believe. If you like somenes music, tell them, it could make them feel better. If you dont like it, and you just have to say something, just say "hey this music sucks" and leave it at that. Dont act all crazy, and threaten musicians, or say crazy stuff to them. Why do that? Look what happened to John Lennon, Rebecca Shafer, too. That is totally the worst thing, dont act like that. Dont hassle musicians. Dont go over the top with crazy. There is enough negative stuff out there. Dont do it. Just dont mess with people in general. Not cool. If you keep messing with her, how do you know she will not carry a gun and blow your head off, if you hassle her? She has the right to protect herself by any means necessary. Just like anyone else.
Fair comment, although worth pointing out that as she's Scottish (we don't have guns over here) and ostensibly a normal person, she probably won't react to abuse by shooting somebody in the head.
there is nothing wrong with having a gun for personal protection, it is all in how responsibly you handle it. I have shotguns at home for home protection. I dont carry them around, swagger with them, play with them, let kids play with them, twirl them on my finger.. etc... only to be used as a last resort if some psycho or 2 kicks in the door or something late at night.. certainly a person has that right to protect themselves. You should be able to buy them also, do you have a lot of violent crime in Scotland, say Glasgow, Dundee, or Edinburgh? If someone is simply arguing and saying dumb shit to her, she has no right to shoot someone, but say, she is alone in her hotel room who knows where, on tour, and some crazy bastard breaks in and tries to rape her? It would be crazy not to shoot someone, in that case. All about the very last resort of personal protection, not to wave it around during an argument. Huge difference. See what I mean?
+Michael Craig My comment was made in jest. Most types of guns were banned in the UK after a mass shooting of five and six year olds at a school in Scotland in 1996. Glasgow used to have a serious problem with violent crime (usually between gangs of youths) but the rates have fallen drastically in the last ten years. I'm from Edinburgh and I've never really felt in danger. I was once mugged for an iPod about ten years ago. Most violent crime in Scotland is alcohol related, the sort of scuffles you'd expect to witness outside nightclubs/bars anywhere and critically those incidents don't tend to involve weapons in the vast majority of cases. I appreciate that it might be difficult to understand from an American perspective, because firearms are obviously ubiquitous in the US, but nobody here owned guns in the first place in recent times and there's really no need for them here. Our police don't even carry, with the exception of specialist armed response units.
+Michael Craig There's also very little appetite for gun ownership. I'd imagine that if asked, the percentage of Scots who would oppose relaxed gun restrictions would be in the high 90s.
@@michaelcraig9449 Well said!!!!
I looked up perfection in the dictionary and it had a picture of her.
Meet Dave the most ralistic animatronic interviewer
This live version of recover sounds 10 times better than the original. But this band is awesome
the most awkwardest interviewer of all time
It's his first day! Actually I am kidding, I dunno, it might be?
He's a employee of google. What do you expect?
Sweatin balls....but who knows could be his first or second interview of a major artist. From his body language and sweat pouring off his face, you can tell he was nervous...I dont think he did THAT bad in that sense.
new prototipe maybe...
lol she's so funny at 7:20, i hate when nobody reacts after she just shared a personal, funny story, its disrespectful!
I swear those 2 could pass as twins.
Totally
The nose is a little off though. xD
Matthew Ignacio You realize non-identical twins are just that, right? Non-identical. Speaking as one, lol
hah, when he introduces tehm as Lauren Mayberry and the rest of the band they look so pissed
Wtf is wrong with the host??...Does he has a crush or her or something...so awkward and unsettling.
lol
Well, all things considered, I wouldn't be surprised if he did have a crush on her.
EvilTim1911 lol...you would probably hide it better..:D...I wouldn't..I would jump on her feet right there..hehehe..ohh maan..
I just thought he was a nerd lol
Wait there are guys who don't?
Wtf I thought this girl was like 15 or 16yrs old.. -____- she's nearly 30.
That moment during "Mother We Share" when she changes the lyrics from "when it all fucks up" to "when it all scuffs up" and the guys get those little smirks on their face, so great. Looked like she had to fight off a smirk a bit as well.
How can she come up with such detailed and awesome responses at the spot? I'd need like three days and even then it wouldn't be as good.
She definitely prepared ahead of time
She looks like Mike from Stranger Things
I can respect the message here but I find it odd that when we are talking about the source of the current social disorder, we are naive enough to believe that it exists because of the internet and anonymity. (at least that is want it sounds like here) Just because something has been made easier doesn't mean that thing existed in the first place. Social media is not the source of this sort of behavior, it only amplified it. You can't amplify something when it's zero to begin with. The real reason we are seeing this sort of abuse in society in general would be directly related to the rise in broken families and homes. You can't have the foundation of a structure disturbed and then be surprised when stuff at the top starts to topple. So how do we fix it? Can policing the internet help? Sure to an extent, but it's akin to simply putting a band aid on a wound when stitches are required. All that said, excellent music guys! (Strong Hard is my favorite tune but seriously every song is really good.)
I knou this guy it`s Derek my neighneigh he always worked hard behind his PC in the google so hard his manager gives him this chance of interviewing chrvchs hes glad now but shy and nervous so he failed it up because people dont like shy but hes a good boy his mom always sad
grandArianaSupporter he's actually kinda cute :)
lol @ 0:16
Someone should gif that XD
Maybe they should have a key word detector that detects certain obscene words and brings up a little questionnaire asking the poster if they are sure they want to leave that post and explain why they shouldn't. Basically question them as a person for wanting to leave that type of comment. If they still choose to leave that comment then they can.
You predicted Instagram lol
@@murraystenhouse8469 Haha. Wheres my money! I think most ideas come from regular people and then the rich snatch them up and make more money on them.
Next year, she'll be in high school. lol
I live in korea whose internet is very developed and people write very dirty dangerous or sexual comments. More developed internet society, disgusting and horrible comments increase. Once you pay attention to bad people there is no end. You can get mental problem like deep depression at worst. What I'm saying is occurred frequently in my country. Every superstar feel mental pain when they see comments. There is no restriction in writing bad comments and once you start to pay attention to wastes you get nothing but mental illness. Maybe talking with a man who gets lot of horrible comments and easily ignore mad comments help you deal with problem. Like sports star or actress superstar. Especially korean superstar recieve lot of terrible comments.
The best way is not seeing every comments. Internet comments and advises usually don't help. If you really want to get internet opinion, public site in which there's no restriction of writing horrible comments doesn't help at all. More clean fan site will be better. Anonymous public comments really doesn't help nine in ten. Koreans are expert at dealing with bad comments.
This talk is really important and a big thank you to Lauren. She is an amazing artist that stands up for women rights, human rights and demanding respect in all communication for the online community.
"woman's rights", what a selfish ideology. Typical feminists only ever thinking of themselves.
Good discussion on important topics.
I am a bit sad that the sound was all high-passed, so the performance at the end has no bass.
Online bullying is only bad because of anonymity but when confronted they hide behind free speech arguments. The ethical benchmark is usually, could you say the same comments to your own parents, elders or children? If not, then it is not okay to say it to a stranger, even someone you dislike.
"The rest of the band" that's just disrespectful
Wow, that guy is really nervous.
great interview, it's a shame that people don't treat others the same way they themselves would like to be treated.
Fantastic set too.
This woman knows her shit! She even corrected the dude when he implied that women not speaking up were causing some of the problems.
Your voice is so crisp and beautiful. I love your music.
Yet you can sense the underlying melancholy of some of the lyrics within her voice. It's pretty interesting.
She's awesome I could listen to her talk about anything haha.
"Here's a recipe book, go nuts Lauren!"
Lireoec Haha, epic comment :D
I feel really sorry for her that she is going through all the shit because of scumbags and rape threats its disgusting this world is full of scum
18:40 lol the people who are asleep
Lauren Mayberry may seem awkward to many. However, it's her humility and intelligence that makes her so unique. The quiet ones, like myself, always take some criticism. She is also very beautiful 😍 inside and out.
she swears in the interview but censors the song?
It's possible that the performance was going to be broadcast somewhere while the interview was going to remain internet-only. Just a guess.
It's funny, she is not allowed to be offended by too personal messages from strangers, but men on the net are allowed to be super offended because she complains? It's the same as with Rebecca Watson. Anyone has a F-ing right to complain if someone makes them feel uncomfortable.
Though I don't agree with her on every point, I guess it comes down to the fact that Sting probably doesn't get a lot of people threatening to rape him in his online comments section, and yet female singers do, so we can't exactly claim equality.
the interviewer is so awkward
Artists should like streaming apps like spotify and pandora because it helps people discover new music that doesn't get played on the radio. There are a lot of bands/artists that I never would have heard of otherwise. Also, if I hear an artist somewhere else, like the radio or youtube, these apps allow me to further explore their other songs to see if I really like them without having to buy a whole album first. Then, if they do turn out to be something I really enjoy, I will typically buy their music so I can listen to it whenever I want.
The reverse Lorde. Looks way younger than she is.
that die hard google glass fan thou haha
Her skin is so beautiful!
LAVREN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I honestly thought she was like 14 yrs old until i found she's 34. She looks super young for her age.
This interview was 2014. So shes like 27 then
@@MightyCats2011 Tal Wilkenfield is another girl who's in her 30's and looks half her age.
Totally having a great new year's day evening with the ***** visit to Google.. chat from the beginning, music from 35:10 .. really appreciate artists like this..
she's a cutie
i'm loving this band even more. ♥
i hope music fans such as myself could watch other talks like these from other bands/musicians as well :D //subscribed to your channel btw :)
I'm new to CHVRCHES, and this is the first time I've ever really heard Lauren say more than one sentence. She is adorable! I'm sorry, but that's the word that immediately comes to mind. She seems really introverted, which makes her even more adorable!
Awesome interview. Society needs more discussions like these! Seriously
You can only have freedom of speech if it's absolute. When you block someone's speech it only opens the door for more speech to be blocked. Yes, it starts off all nice with maybe getting rid of trolls. However, What if a particularly popular group of people wants to silence the counter argument? That's where this sort of thing leads.
an individual has the right to block those who intently act to harass or get a rise out of them via personal message. upholding free speech doesn't mean anyone and everyone is personally required to openly receive that free speech when it is directed at them in their own personal space. people aren't required to be open to debate at all times.
a band or some other kind of group's social media account is their own space. like their own virtual living room. it's not necessarily an open forum. it's whatever the band or group wants it to be. it's a place to give out information or express opinions, not an automatic invitation for arguments or harassment.
+sunshaped I know this and everyone has the right to have the means to create their own personal space. However, we can never expect Governments or Organisations to censor any form of speech - unless it's violent. If someone threatens to rape you and it seems like a real threat they have the right to phone to Police.
+Allan Reford well, yes, the governments shouldn't be the ones censoring and blocking. that is very different than giving people the means to protect their own virtual personal spaces. it sounded like you were saying allowing even personal blocking leads to government and organizational censorship, and I wholly disagree, if that's the case. they are separate issues in my view.
sunshaped I do think that people should have the tools to protect themselves from online harassment.
They all looked so pissef for the first 20 seconds of the video 🤣🤣
We loved shooting this one for Google! They rocked a more-than full house of Googlers.
2019? Anyone?
Yup remember when this came out lol
Yup, still watching it.
They've really matured as a band! So happy for you guys!
3:03 The Borg
the host is so geek I love it.
I'm pretty sure rape and death threats are already illegal and there's a big difference between that and calling somebody fat or ugly or whatever. I love there music but quit crying, if someone threatens you call the police if they only say something you don't like get over it!
3:04 KOOL SHADES BRO
LOL the guys of the band look thrilled to be there
most beautiful girl i have ever seen
she is brave,and true.long live her, and long live the freedom of say what you think,but let ushave repect for each other,for the fellow,and for the society.beuase the society,is nothing more than i,we,us,and them.
I find the fact that she doesn't look at him to the eyes while he's talking to her very annoying. What's wrong with her?
She's possibly a massive introvert, with a small lack of self-confidence, who masks it (not in a bad way) behind her music... if that's the case, I think she did an awesome job. At least that's my take on it. Better than what I could do if I had to publicly talk about my writing.
MK Stevens That's probable. I'm agree with everything she says, though.
I think she is just talking more to the people in the room than the automaton that is asking the questions
Paul Gallagher Hahahaha that's possible, too. But he is the one asking the questions. It is weird to be talking with someone for almost an hour or so and not making eye contact even once.
it's a self confidence issue, or she might just find eye contact terribly uncomfortable
TOOOOOO CUTE
I wish these google talks would be hosted by more than incredibly mediocre interviewers. These talks receive such inspiring people yet don't seem to build up any lift to get off the ground. It is solely up to the guests to make the interview, leaving it on the internet as a forgotten subculture of talks.
oh dat move 20:39
Ah that sucks the rest of the band doesn't get to be interviewed.
I don't think they would have enough to say on the topic to warrant being interviewed.
*LOL at **48:00** she says “scuffs up” instead of “fucks up” and you can see them smile* 😂😂
I really wish that I could have the privilege of friends like this woman.I love my friends, but we talk about nonsense so often. Anytime that I try to speak with them with regard to a globally relevant subject matter, I see their eyes drift and their attention slipping away from me.
I feel that Lauren has spent an obscene amount of time just sitting, and thinking, And if we could just have everybody take the time to do this, the world may be a different place on a social level. The sheer truth to me is that we do not have enough of thinkers in the world, and an abundance of workers. She seems like an amazing gal - as do everybody else in that room. I wish I could be surrounded by more people whom are concerned with these types of things, and can have a relevant conversation past our own hobbies and interests. I have a lot of respect for these individuals who have the courage of not being afraid to be disagreed with. Speak your mind, but don't be a "prick."
I'm not religious, but I could theoretically amen to that. You are right, we don't fully have enough thinkers on this water ball.
Really nice to speak up guys ! Also they're so awkward and cute.
Fat in guy in front is sooo unimpressed during the show
