- The media has created a negative, toxic image of JK Rowling simply for defending women and women's sports. However, one teacher is going viral for his masterful dissection of Rowling's statements. Let's get into it.

I’m the teacher in the video. Thank you so much Brett! This is really fun to watch and honestly this feels even cooler than Elon’s tweet. I am a huge Daily Wire fan and I can’t wait to see your upcoming acting work. I will always be rooting for you guys.
You’re an awesome teacher. 🙏🏼
You, sir, are one AMAZING teacher. Never loose sight of why you wanted to teach. We need people like you to help us correct this crash course. Hats off!
Great job
You remind me of my father when I was a student. He was a teaxher too. He challenged my thinking all the time. Quite to his dismay, unfortunately, a conversation similar to this led to me leaving Christianity. (I still fully respect Christians). He was an amazing dad because he never told me what to think. He helped me process it and come to my own conclusion. You're doing this with so many, and I absolutely love it. Losing him 25 years ago, I'm so happy to see someone carry on his teaching style.
Respect!!
The uber successful woman that it's become trendy to hate because she doesn't adhere to THE MESSAGE as it turns out has false claims being made against her. I'm stunned.
@PIayboiCratiyes, very popular.
@PIayboiCrati JK went from a Broke Single Mother to a multi billionaire responsible for creating one of the most beloved and popular book series in history. She makes millions of dollars every day between book sales, merch, Harry Potter World, Viewings on TV and Cable, etc.
That lady could sit around and do literally nothing from now until the day she dies and still be minted.
@PIayboiCratiwhy are you commenting everywhere on this video dude 😭
She's woke as fuck I have nothing but warmth in my heart that jk Rowling is getting a taste of her own medicine
If you're asking as in thinking he means the taxi app, thats not it. Uber the app is named after the word which is just another way to say something is great/a great example of something @PIayboiCrati
I'm 18 and homeschooled. As I got older and saw that people my age were not noticing things and thinking for themselves blew my mind! Growing up I was taught to think critically and answer my own questions. so honestly seeing this man say and do these things is such a breath of fresh air.
Mr. Galbraith is a powerful man
👏👏👏 i feel homeschooling is much better now
We need more teachers like this - teaching kids HOW to think, and less media teaching WHAT to think
Aren't you being told what to think by this video? Look at both sides an make a valuable point of view, look for fallacies ( both sides have them! ) and such and don't let you confirmation bias grow. This is not learning how to think when you are fed stuff from only one side how do you think people against JK Rowling got that opinion. we are all being told what to think by the crazy people up top with money and it is important to break free from it. STOP! get some help.
@@oscarannerstedt5264 exactly the plan for "how to think" is available now on this channel. If you'd only take this advice and not that kind of advice, and think for yourself by following this channel. Look at what Brett is saying here, and think like her, believe like her. Only I feel this is really BC acting triggered by the comments sections because she's always like hyped up about how awful something is and wants to cancel the side she's against. So make sure you like that video, subscribe, and comment and get those notifications and follow her. If people think school is about being "lectured at" then well, wait, if BC keeps repeating the false information but she keeps doing it and doing it. With really inflammatory headlines. Which become my truth! Wait... what? Is this video a roadmap to how to prove her wrong?
@oscarannerstedt5264 everyone is taught how to think and all even from childhood. No human can learn anything alone. It's always based on things he or she sees in the surroundings. So that's a dumb thing to say. The point of this video is to revalidate these talks in the surroundings and understand the truth. The woke mob uses social media more to inject oviously dumb claims in people. So called "sigma males" do this too. We just have to understand their intentions and have a balanced stand based on truth...
@@chicbateI never watched a video where she was trying to cancel someone
@@Cheremeri never? guess you're not as big a fan as I am.
My favorite version of cancel culture is when someone, like JK, is cancelled and a bunch of people start saying that their work was always terrible so they never deserved their popularity to begin with. Mate, Harry Potter, while not without fault, remains one of the most fascinating worlds in all of middle grade to young adult fiction. JK wrote characters who felt like real people. Sure Harry had to deal with his magical destiny but he also had normal teenage boy problems. Awkward dates, frienship drama, and youthful alienation.
I liked how the history of the families in Harry Potter reminded me of some of the families during the War of the Roses. The people felt believable.
Harry Potter is a rampaging jerk to his friends and everyone else throughout the entire series.
He didn't seem like a real person to me. He was an absolute tool who never got his despite trying to get everyone to delete him to the best of his ability.
@@danorris5235he was also possessed by Voldemort in the 5th book which is when the majority of him being a jerk happens
I remember hearing some stand-up comedy guy describe Harry Potter as, "Star Wars with sucky light sabers" and I can't unhear that ever sibce. 😂
@@solracstormhunter3023 i like both fandoms for different reasons but that’s funny 😂
My social studies teacher in high school, Mr Hayes, in 1975 used to question us constantly and make us justify our position. The main thing I remember was he told us “ my job isn’t to teach you what to think but how to think critically.” This has stuck with me and served me well throughout my life.
Nowadays people don't know what "think critically" means. They just think it means to immediately be critical of everything.
Now days you're kicked out of class for having opinions and asking the wrong questions. God forbid other students get exposed to opinions or other ways of thinking beyond the dictate of the school curriculum.
TIKhistory recently did a video not too long ago telling people who are still in school to just tell their teachers what they "want" to hear. Because they will punish you for it and then try to get out of the "Cult" as quickly as you can. Cult being modern day academia.
Indeed. A good teacher can be life-altering.
If you’ve ever followed anything about JK Rowling or watched Geeks n Gamers or Nerdrotic or even Critical Drinker you’d know JK Rowling is actually rather woke and supportive of T+, she just doesn’t want women’s accomplishments to be overshadowed by men pretending to be women.
She belives in biological truth though and doesnt want the bathrooms BS
Rowling, not Rollins.
She is the second most important voice when it comes to sex-based right behind only Riley Gaines. She can be wrong about other topics. She is right about this one.
@@billylocke9633 in third I would clasify the living legend Bethany Hamilton, she's pretty influential.
So this is one of those times where they turn on and eat one of their own.
Her name is not synonymous with bigotry for me. She is a hero to me.
Critical thinking is not taught and hasn't been taught for a while now. Most schools only teach the children how to take the tests. They are not taught how to come up with an adequate, well thought out answer. Gotta love this teacher.
Easier to manipulate that way:
Just do what you've been told, agree to everything we say and stay in your docile mentality". 🧠🧟♂️
You can't convince me, that there's no possibility of this being on purpose.
Yep yep
Thanks Bush
“Teaching to the test” is in part, if not entirely, an outcome of the “no child left behind” law and overreach and expansion of the federal govt in areas that should be dictated by local governmental bodies.
cause government wants workers, not thinkers
It's refreshing to see people seek out the truth rather than accepting everything at face value. Critical thinking is a much-needed skill in today's information age.
Exactly. So many people get demonized because someone doesn't like the viewpoint or reads something into their viewpoint that's not there. People who do this show themselves as the real demons.
Persona 4 - Reach Out To the Truth
Absolutely agree with you! Well said!! Best wishes to you and yours my friend!!
Which people?
shame rightwingers cried a river about her for 15 years then before she said anything about trans people.
The student being questioned in this video is actually terrifying, he practically admits that Rowling's statement "could be considered transphobic" just because some people believe it to be so. The "This is my truth" solipsism/relativism is strong with this one. He seems happy to presume whatever a person with a strong opinion says, he himself is rather apathetic. This is how we get ruled by crazy people.
agree
But then he changed his mind and said he felt foolish because he thought it through. If you’re being alarmist because you only listened to the beginning then you’re just as bad as people who “heard” something and believed it without question.
@@PuddilyOops I listened to the whole thing. He still sounds like a squish at the end. Just my opinion. I'm not criticizing the teacher - he did a great job with the socratic - it's just that relativism just oozes out of everything that student says. It'll take many more sessions like that to deprogram him.
@@PuddilyOopsthe problem is, with the relative suggestibility of that age group, having relativism, means no opinion is their own and they are parroting, without really understanding what they are saying, in many cases. This is not my “truth” but merely my opinion and perception. Even the great philosophers struggled with the concept of capital T truth, because of individual perception, and using it to mean something it does not is the problem.

13:49 this! I’m actually reading Harry Potter to my 7 year old girls and sometimes struggle with all the questions. I am now going to take more time to stop and ask them what they think is going on and why with all the books we read. Thanks for sharing, being able to think critically is absolutely something I want to empower my kids with.
Challenging them does 2 things at once, they respect people with wisdom and get better at it themselves. Changes a kid's future.
Mr. Galbraith appreciates your support...
Hats off to the kid being open enough to debate/chat with teacher
And for being willing to admit he wrong & didn’t just push the wrong message
I had to leave social media because I refused to speak on matters like this. Even QUESTIONING is wrong, apparently. I didn't want to lose friends over something so stupid, and I was condemned even by my silence!!! I read into everything JK said and nothing she said is transphobic at all!!! And people say "well, she ASSOCIATES with transphobes" and that's just stupid. Judge people on their own merits.
As a person who left all social media about 2 years ago, id say do it. I work on the internet so I am always online.... But... Not on social media, because like you said. You cannot even hint at or question things without it being an issue. People are terrible in every sense of the word.
@@dylpykldrums And that's why I don't discuss politics and religion with people. You can't disagree without them acting like a mob. They claim to be better but as soon as you don't agree with what they think,they all default to mob mentality and bring out the pitchforks. I'd rather stay out of the conversations.
RUclips is social media though. You’re commenting so you’re using it as social media as well.
Just wait until they send a swat team to your house
Get a VPN guys seriously get a VPN
I say don’t leave. I honestly recently (within last year) joined a major social media platform. And I do the same as the teacher. Basically you just remain calm and never ever get baited into anything. For example when ppl call me slurs I literally just don’t acknowledge it. When they try to veer off topic I just don’t acknowledge that either. I stay on topic and always the point too that I am addressing. Never ever veering.
You honestly would be surprised. If you never ever veer and stay laser focused on your point then you would be shocked at how the conversation goes.
Basically ppl will walk away or some (it’s very few granted) will actually start to admit the real reasons why they’re being aggressive. The reasons why varies. Maybe someone said something to them that hurt them a long time ago. Maybe they’re struggling with something in their personal life. Maybe they are just repeating what they heard. Maybe they’re angry at God. Etc.
I am in the thick of it but I know I have made a difference to a few ppl.
I hope more truly good ppl will join the movement. Of bringing peace and calm to social media.
Hats off to that teacher for doing the job that kid's parents clearly failed to do
That’s assuming he would have listened to his parents and wouldn’t have immediately written them off as bigots. OR his parents haven’t already regurgitated this stuff into him. 😅
Also hats off to the kid too, for actually being an intelligent young man/person(?) who was willing to go through this exercise as open minded as he did and be able to evaluate a conclusion opposite from something he originally believed otherwise. I know my bar is low but it's the little things that has the opportunity to bloom into something more amazing once the approach changes by just a few degrees that makes me excited for what our younger generations might do differently or truly advance our world, rather than crowdsource facts (or facts by democracy).
@@dfujikawasay "man" that's what he is, there's no other gender option
@@MisakigiThat’s assuming that acting as though people can have something valuable to say, is not a part of upbringing.
Yes, if his parents taught him and instilled the values of engaging with criticism and assuming someone may know something you don’t, then he would listen to his parents on that premise, even more so given their proximity.
Can't teach what you never learned
I had dyslexia as a child, and was not very good at reading, but after extensive tutoring, which mostly focused on comprehension, instead of just reading fast, I now understand the value of understanding what you’re reading, rather just to read it
It's like that scene from Big Bang Theory when Amy and Leonard spend some time togehter. Amy was reading. Then she sat staring into space. When Leonard asked her what she was doing now, she replies,"I was reading. Now I'm thinking about what I read." The thinking and absorbing is as important as the reading.
I once had a history teacher that turned me completely around from hating history, and thinking it was all but pointless (whenever you need to know something about history, just go and read it in a book/on the internet, I used to say), to someone who was genuinely interested in history, and who learns about it on my own now.
And all she had to do was ask "why?" - Why did these people do these things? (none of my other history teachers up until that point had done so)
Why did these people do THESE things, instead of THOSE things? Why did they do anything at all? Why didn't they act sooner/later? These type of questions make you start THINKING!
Following the darker chapters in human history also helps a student of history discover just HOW BADLY it can all become, and how politics drive those events.
History is the study of the human condition and how it has played out over time. Geopolitics is how the human condition is playing out currently on a global scale. Understanding these two subjects in this context, I love both of them so much and can't get enough of them.
That’s exactly why I went into a history degree. I wish I was a master mechanic or a Fortune 500 guy, but I became enthralled with something I believe is so important for the future.
@@sigmacademy "Those who don't remember the past, are doomed to repeat it."
I have a history degree and absolutely endorse this. I fell in love with history as a kid precisely because of stories. I had an advantage over most Americans, though, because I was a military and embassy brat living in Rome, Italy -- utterly surrounded by the stories of a three thousand year old city, and arguably the most influential city in history. All roads lead to Rome, they say -- but it's more accurate to say Rome's history leads everywhere today. (And yes, I laughed at the "how often do guys think about the Roman Empire" trend, because I don't think it's POSSIBLE for me to go long without thinking about Rome in some way.)
I'm now a science fiction and fantasy editor, and my history degree has been invaluable there. My specialty was intellectual history, defined as the transmission of ideas from one generation to the next. That's mythology, folklore, literature, history, philosophy, religion -- all the stories we tell our children, which then shape their concepts, and feed into WHY THEY DO THE THINGS. There's no better focus for helping people craft worlds that only exist in the imagination than using the the many, many worlds of history that we will never see ourselves, but which shaped absolutely everything around us one way or another.
I used to guest-lecture for creative writing, and the students gained an appreciation for the approach. Too bad I couldn't teach for credit, though, because the one thing a history degree can't do for creative writing is make me a professor of it. :D Nope, got to have a degree in LIT-ER-AH-TCHURE. Oh well! I still get to have fun helping authors be authors.
I had an exam question in nursing school that was intentionally vague. It was written to be half-true and relevant to the notes. The professors admitted that most of the class would answer it incorrectly. The goal was to encourage students to defend their answer, but the professors did not tell us this information until after a student argued it.
The purpose was to teach us to question and challenge authority and to not accept rationales at face-value. It was a good lesson.
I remember a quote that we talked about in high school in the 80s (in the Netherlands) which goes something like this: "if fifty million people say a foolish thing, it's still a foolish thing". I think indeed that a lot of people don't have critical thinking skills and as such are dependent on what the majority in their own bias funnel say. That combination of a lack of critical thinking skills and the bias funneling by algorithms is a dangerous thing, perhaps the most dangerous thing of all.
Besides, people tend to feel that they're critical thinkers because they critisize things but critical thinking is about asking questions; the right questions at that. It's about doubt and wonder, not foregone conclusions or premade, borrowed judgments. As a critical thinker you need to allow yourself to be wrong and change your mind because you will do a lot of it.
That is of course right. But a lot of those climing to be 'critical thinkers' have actually bought uncritically into some political subculture or other. JK Rowlings, from the little I've heard of her views, doesn't appear fall into that pattern. She seems to me to be trying to understand any complexities involved rather than firing from the hip.
I’m 53, we were taught Critical Thinking in school! We were also taught to question the details of anything read in media, from articles to sales ads! I’m extremely proud of you for highlighting this amazing teacher, there may be hope yet! We were also taught that good and bad information will always be handed to us, critical thinking sorts it out! I find it more odd over so many today being shocked by misinformation,,,it’s always been here. Thanks again!
It's honestly sad how so many people refuse to take the time to question what they read. When I first heard the allegations about JK, I went looking for her tweets (very hard to find as most articles were attacking her). Once I found and read the tweets it was obvious she wasn't transphobic, she was just concerned about women and children.
I'm 52 and was taught the same way, some people seem to have problems just thinking let alone critically.
I'm 25 and can clearly remember being taught critical thinking in elementary and middle school. We would read an excerpt before answering questions, and there would always be at least one that was clearly labeled "critical thinking/writing." I know a lot of people had a hard time writing a single paragraph because they couldn't simply skim the text for the answer and genuinely had to use their heads. I suppose it was to much to ask them to read the intro or "about author" sections for more context when formulating your own opinions. Now these kids are grown up and unable to think for themselves, instead regurgitating the same talking points they see on the news or social media.
Critical thinking is quintessential to understanding underlying agendas - of all media outlets - including the one you're seemingly giving a free pass to - this one.
@@chris__10 no free pass here, I break down all articles/responses/media that I have the time to read/watch! Kind of a built in habit that everyone should have! Something you’d like to share with the group that you are holding back? Why not just state your opinion void of mystery and anonymity. We’re adults here, we can handle it.
"This is why we do this. To learn how to think." More people need to go through something like this!
Including herself.
@@jonathanstone4878 including you
Agreed and more teachers need to stop telling kids what to remember and what they need to "know" and instead teach them how to think for themselves.
@@AngryMcAngersen that's kinda the point.
well for decades, the US school system has been rote memorization and learning how to follow orders. Not think freely or critically. It's hardly about producing independent minds, the US is a for profit corporation really, and it's churning out non-thinking worker bees. Anyone who thinks critically is a "weirdo" and usually a social pariah with a criminal record.
Of course people will hate on a woman who is more successful than they are.
Nothing to do with her being a woman and everything to do with her opinions. Conservatives are sounding more and more like Leftists.
That must be the same reason people hate Rachel Maddow and Hilary Clinton.
Stop simping! this woman turned hermione black in the musical and said this is what she intended from beginning. she‘s woke!!!
@@teachingwithipad That was the point I was trying to make earlier, but RUclips kept deleting my original comment, so I had to change it to make it stick.
Also, it’s not simping to point out an objective truth. Rowling is one of the richest women on earth, to say otherwise would be silly.
It's the same reason people dislike Rachel Maddow or Hilary Clinton. Watch how this comment will disappear.
So basically, people think JK Rolling is transphobic because she said the words “sex is real” one time, then that was taken wildly out of context
JK knows Trans worship is unsafe stuff, she wants to protect kids.
Nations who listen to science declared No Hormones No Surgery Under Age 21.
I learned by listening to people who detransitioned & science based evidence.
In the rare case that I don't check stuff before saying it to someone else, I ALWAYS specify that I don't know if that is true for a fact. I add a lot of "apparently"s and "supposedly"s. If it is serious, I just don't talk about it
Same here. I'll always preface things with 'apparently, I don't know for sure, I just saw the headline' or something like that.
yep, we call that protective language, and it's genuinely frightening how people DON'T use protective language in their content.
Like we can't just say whatever we want and state opinions as facts. That's libel/slander (depending on how it's communicated), and people get sued over that if there are damages.
(And considering JKR's entire brand -- her HP brand and personal brand -- was damaged because of all this, if she didn't actually say hate speech (haven't watched the full video yet), then she's well within her rights to send cease & desist letters to people to cut it out or else.
Yes! This! Same 👏🏻
I say "Allegedly" when it is obviously true LOL
Well.. you can throw in 10 supposedlies and my friend still hears what he wants to hear, and then tells me the story as if it's facts and truth. So there's still plenty of listeners who don't understand the meaning of protective language and it can still create conspiracies and rumours and other forms of fake news
When I first read about the "controversy", I dug up JK Rowling's oroginally tweet and found nothing wrong with it, I did find something wrong with big stream media though
Basically a round about way of saying live and let live. How crazy 🙄😂
The behaviour of mainstream media started to become obvious with no attempt to hide their bad behaviour way back during the time of the USA presidential election involving Ross Perot, some channels mix images of the salt sucking Alien from Star Trek original, as well as Hitler while reporting about Ross Perot, and absolutely no attempt to hide their bias. Things slowly increased over time much like the story of the frog 🐸 in the pot 🥘.
I was talking to an old friend a few months back and mentioned giving HP a reread. She commented that she would love to reread it since we grew up on it, but no longer owned the books and wouldn’t support JK Rowling any further because of the “controversy”. I went home and read the controversial tweets and immediately was like “what controversy? There’s nothing there.” And happily went back to my reread. I don’t necessarily agree with everything she says and does, but none of what she’s being cancelled for warrants it.
That person is not your friend. They will turn against you and try to ruin you if they find out you see nothing wrong with JKR. Ghost and block that person and never speak to them again.
@@BlueSkyCountryNot to argue, but I don't believe dumping people on a Maybe situation is right.
If the OP is genuinely curious, they can discuss the topic with the friend and let things play out organically.
I truly appreciate that the OP has decided to drop it and just do what's best for their own view.
But, why force a bridge crossing when it's not necessary? Who knows, maybe the friend will eventually become less intolerant before that happens, which means the friendship wasn't ruined for nothing.
Just an opinion.
May I ask you a question?
Did this situation happen to you?
@@LA_HA I don't take risks and when it looks like something is only going to lead to failure, I am not going to bother with it.
@@BlueSkyCountry Isn't that just being afraid, though?
I definitely agree with looking at a person/situation and gauging the worth.
But, I was questioning whether it's a good idea to just dump every friend you have because of something random they said without fully understanding what stake you're putting on it.
To that person, it could be a thoughtless, flippant response to what they think is an unimportant question without realizing you're implementing some kind of test with a secret score that will determine their future as your friend. You'll stop being their friend and they'll have no idea why.
Would you pass such a test? How would you feel if a friend suddenly ghosted you without explanation?
I dunno. I guess you think/feel the way you do because of past experiences, so ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
For me though, it greatly resembles the social media exams people give one another that are completely wild -- like women who say that they'll dump a perfectly great boyfriend if he doesn't like the Barbie movie or those people who call their own family members an *ist or *phobe for social cred.
But then, I'm one of those Golden Rule types. haha
@@LA_HA I feel where you are coming from, but for me, I prefer life to be simple. I just don't care about "tests", challenges, or anything deeper than gratifying what I need right now. Because spending all that effort doesn't reward me with things I can use right at the moment.
Thank you Brett. Perfect timing. My 10 year old daughter is a massive Harry Potter fan. She walked into me this morning and said "daddy, what is a biggot and why is JKRollin a transphobe"?
My 1st thought was 'oh no,here we go'😂
But then I clicked on you tube because I'd remembered seeing this video last night.
We sat and went through it, stopping now and then to discuss it.
She now understands what critical thinking is and that her hero is not what people are saying about her. As a parent, it's frustrating how the kids naturally pay more attention to social media than to their parents, but I knew I could use your video, as it's all factual and there's no swaring.
Your piece at the end about your mum stopping reading and discussing was great. Just what I needed to prove my point.
When the video was finished, my daughter said "wow, and now she is very intelligent with her own news channel"😂
You're an inspiration to all young women.
Thank you.
My middle school social studies teacher used to say that if you want to change reality, just lie and lie and lie… eventually the lie will become the truth.
And it’s a lot easier to spread lies than to spread the truth because as we have learned often times, the truth hurts, so it’s a lot easier to make people feel good or to sensationalize things or to make things inflammatory by just lying because people grapple to negativity twice as hard as they do to positivity That’s why the news media almost never reports on happy things, because that doesn’t generate clicks.
I find this surprisingly creepy. The callousness... Is off the charts.
@@xSkyWeix the Fruit of the Loom Psy Op
And that's exactly what is going on today. It's all about changing reality and a tidal wave of repeated lies is how it's being done.
It feels bad while telling the lies but once they turn true, it feels extremely confusing to realize that you did that.
Yes! What this teacher is doing is so incredibly important! I am a freshman at a tiny private high school and the entire philosophy of the school is to teach us how to think. During lunch I have one teacher who I often debate. He intentionally always argues the opposite side until I firmly understand where I stand and I have the evidence to back it up. We need more teachers like this!
Honestly that’s the part I miss about high school, the debates. I used to really hate them because we were taught that there was always a “correct” side and by arguing the opposite it was seemed as a waste of time. They need to show the importance of critical thinking and the challenge of our own ideas in schools. Props to you for doing that your own time, your school rocks man. Keep it up and wishing you the very best in the future!
I LOVE this. I tell people I will debate anything from any side if only to learn something new myself or to see if the other person understands all sides. It’s so important to learn something every day. Never stop having those conversations. I’m 52 and thought I was a Democratic Feminist. Turns out I’m a conservative Republican and didn’t know. 😂❤
My first example of Illusory of Truth was with the Duke Lacrosse scandal. They told the lie so many times that I didn’t know they were false allegations until nearly a decade later. Has made me hyper skeptical of repeating things I hear from the media ever since.
I was 19 years old when 911 happened. I was 20 when the light was constantly repeated that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Of course, we found out quickly they weren't, but it has taught me, like you, to not take what I see in the media at face value.
Here's another one that will blow your brain just as much...the accusations against Michael Jackson were false. You think you're cynical about the media now, just follow the Michael Jackson rabbit hole to its conclusion.
I remember being disgusted in all the actors and actresses that turned their back on J.K. instantly without hesitation when she had just created a beautiful life story for them….so easily persuaded to belong instead of making a stand for truth
Same here. ;(
I don’t understand what you’re saying…😢 Because furthermore, people need to see the truth, even if it hurts or does not.
Before I even started Kindergarten, my mother used to ask me questions about the stories she would read to me. 'What did they mean by that?' 'Why do you think the character did that?' "What would you do in that situation?' On and on it went. For years in early adulthood I thought she'd ruined my childhood. I could never just enjoy a story (or anything) for sheer entertainment and enjoyment. Everything was a work project. I always had to be learning something. But now I see it. I see how I am so often the only one who sees patterns that are invisible to others. I see how my idea of 'just doing it period,' appears to others as 'doing it exceptionally' and they ask me how, but I can't answer, because I'm just doing it period.
I still think I would have benefited from more of a mixture of childish, carefree abandon and critical thinking development in my early years, but I'm grateful for what I got.
I understand that feeling of seeing everything as a project, rather than entertainment. The only way I've found to avoid it is to start exploring new avenues. If you like to read, watch movies. If you like to watch movies, play a game or two, if you like all of the above, go to a museum and enjoy art.
When you experience a craft outside of your wheelhouse, it's easier to just let your brain take a back-seat and enjoy what you're looking at, rather than pick apart the thing.
That was all about comprehension. I used to have to do it with one of my kids bc she didn’t always comprehend what she read.
@@kariw.160 Perhaps you should work on your own comprehension. This person isn’t confused about their mother’s intentions.
My father did somthing similar, but only AFTER we had already finished the book or movie. It was a nice balance of enjoying the media and adding the critical thinking.
I hope it was more a lesson of comprehension of text than just critical thinking and taking the fun out of it. But I hear you, I have problems watching movies with my mother who is always pointing out the obvious unreality of the movie tricks etc. Just shut up already or go away. I hope you can read a book for pleasure today and just enjoy it the way you want. Non-fiction reading is where all that critical thinking is handy.
It's just moronic how jk Rowling was one of the driving forces for lgbt rights by making Dumbledore gay. Now she's an enemy for her evil transphobic statement of "don't call me a chest feeder."
she turned hermione black in the musical and said she intended herminoe to be black from the beginning. She's a woke fraud!
One of the driving forces for LGBT rights by making Dumbledore gay. You hear what you just said right? Yeah she's basically MLK for that shit.
Exactly! She even wanted a trans in one of her books. It's all or nothing for them, that even a liberal like JK Rowling is hated.
Some of us still think that was retarded. She shouldn't have pandered to them in the first place. It didn't belong in the story, wasn't revelant, AND tainted the character. I honestly have not cared about about the Harry Potter world since then. I love that she gets hate. She deserves it. Her motivations are clearly ego related, no matter which side of the fence she is playing.
Dumbledore was gay long before she pandered to those terrorists.
My gov teacher always said he was trying to teach us how to think, not what to think. That was my favorite class out of my entire time in school. My fellow students had very different (and sometimes radical) opinions from each other but we never argued, we debated. It was the most well-oiled machine of a class I've ever had the pleasure of participating in.
My comment to that video was “this was SOP when I was in school”. I graduated high school in 1983. Back then we were taught exactly this, how to think, not what to think. I had many conversations and debates with my teachers one-on-one after class. It was how I learned best and they understood and took that time. I HATED writing, I loved to read and could verbally talk about an interesting book for hours but just struggled putting it a “report”. If my written report was lacking, my teachers would take the time to sit and discuss the book and adjust my grade accordingly.
I have to admit that I was one of those people who had the idea in my head that jk Rowling is homophobic/transphobic solely based on what headlines said. This is very eye opening and I will not believe any headlines without looking at the facts first
It is important to remember that most media exists for the sole purpose of catching your attention to sell their product or get your "clicks"... You are nothing more than a profit machine to them and their integrity has become overwhelmed by the need to make you look through any means... We used to mock the tabloids for their sensationalist headlines that were designed to get you to buy their papers... Now we almost blindly believe anything they say, especially if it confirms or supports our own feelings or bias... All the more reason to check with multiple different sources before you believe anything outrageous or detrimental. We have little enough precious time to be clogging it up with relative trash. Even the entertainment value has been severely diminished when it is the same sad expressions and tropes being trotted out every time... even when they have been thoroughly debunked.
The funny thing is that I had thought about this last week and even went "what exactly did she say?" I couldn't even find the tweet. Just articles talking about it but not posting it.
@@MikeAndros0 So many hit pieces that combine direct quotes of 4-5 words that lose all context, inaccurate paraphrasing and downright lies.
Happy you've stopped being a sheep & are trying to think for yourself
Good for you
What my English teacher had always taught us about writing articles for newspapers is to always make sure that the headlines always lineup or give a generalized summary of the whole article in a few words. Headlines give a powerful impact to how the reader will perceive what is being talked about.
This reminds me a joke I heard in a burlesque show in 1963. The comedian said there was a contest for the shortest headline of a story. The story was “Insane man rapes woman and then runs away”. The winning entry was, “Nut, Screws, and Bolts”.
@@skyraider1656 slap on some drawing and anyone could see the picture and read the headline, and will have an idea on what it will be
That is the antithesis of clickbait
Do these people ever wonder why so many articles don't have a comment section, or any room for criticism?
It's because the writers of said articles KNOWS they are publishing nonsense, and don't want anyone to call them out on it, even when it's free research/customer interests being provided.
I had an amazing teacher in high school (shoutout Mr. Hornbeck!) who taught awesome social subjects like national/global issues & his own 9/11 class. My brother didn’t like him cuz he was “too liberal,” but whatever he might’ve been didn’t matter at all. He was always unbiased (but caring), kept his personal opinions to himself, & never tried to sway our opinions in a certain direction. He always said “I want to teach you not what to think, but how to think.” He was an extremely positive influence for me & I’ll never forget his amazing classes
The question to ask accusers like that is simply, "Why do you believe that? Is that something you have personally seen or experienced, or is it something you just heard and chose to believe?" Usually, it's the latter. Obviously, we can't fact check everything we hear, so it's important to find sources of information that we trust to be credible. No small feat.
That video came up on my FYP and I couldn’t hit like fast enough. Critical thinking is a lost art. I had a teacher like that in my senior year of high school and he changed me SO MUCH for the better!! More teachers need to be like this if we want to survive.
As a homeschooling mom to two girls 8 and 10, I brought them in to watch this. I absolutely enjoyed your ending when you were talking about how aggravating it is when your mom would stop and ask you questions every few lines to teach you how to think critically, I did the whole "See! It's for a good reason! 😂". My mom did the same to me, and now I'm doing it with my girls and it drives them crazy, especially my younger one. These videos are SO important! Not enough people know how to dissect information, analyze the narrative, and question everything we are told, which is a large reason we are in the world we are today, and it's a evil because it's so intentional.
omg that transition into the ad was seamless. well done - almost thought it was actually part of the convo.
completely written into the video's script ha

My wife and I have been saying this for a while. It's not that people can't think. The problem is that they refuse to do so
Yeah, it's always been beyond me how emotionally people think. To the point that they refuse to give any thought to an idea that opposes their feelings. Really, I would've thought people based their feelings on facts, not the other way around.
And they are scared to…
The practical result being the distinction is sadly irrelevant.
This teacher literally turned Sherlock Holmes
"let's learn how to critically think"....I love that little jab haha
It wasn’t a jab. You have to understand what you are being taught so you can learn.
Learning is a skill you have to learn, it’s not taught in school
My sister and I were homeschooled and my parents read to/with us DAILY from infancy until about seventh grade when their impending divorce changed things. Afterwards we attended a literature/writing class that our friends hosted for the next five years. At one point in time we had over three thousand books in our house. The process of intaking information then writing and talking about it with our parents and friends is singlehandedly one of the most valuable experiences of my childhood. Of course I didn't like writing weekly books reports, but I remember those times and the stories fondly now and realize how far ahead they brought me in life.
What a good teacher. Questioning the reasoning behind the medias headlines, examining the evidence and thought process.
At what point did any of that happen?
THIS! This is applicable on almost every headline. People need to discuss methods of media manipulations 24/7. Headlines, lack of second side, amount of interpretation related to facts, blowing up and overflooding just one part of the story... it is happening every day in every article. People are being poisoned beyond reason. Covid, elections, politics... it would have saved many lives.
My favorite history teacher in high school had differing political opinions from me and he’d often call on me in class so we could have an open discussion in front of my peers so we could all learn and see from different sides. I really enjoyed it and learned so much. It helped me have the desire to learn more and really form an educated opinion on many things and it changed my education pathway since.
That’s a pretty cool teacher!
Shame on the actors who became rich and privileged from the Harry Potter franchise and then betrayed JK Rowling who made it all possible.
With the exception of Evanna Lynch and Tom Felton!
4 MILLION SUBS! Congrats Brett! Love that this channel is still growing!

We were here when it was below 70k 🫶
He was so levelheaded. Actually super impressive
This should be a mandatory course taught in every school
Lmaoo it was already in. For a long long time. I had classes like this in school. Before the whole craziness. With covid, gender, politics. Etc, etc. this was a basic deflut in schooling. But we are so lost with the drama and bs now these days. When we say. We need to bring whatever back. It Was already there to begin with. But the suits/ politics took it out. They did. For their own gain or whatever. I finished school in 2015. When things were actual normal.
I think about the "old times" 24/7 now
Cannot agree more, I often do this when some of my friends when they bring this up. I see them confused and walking back. Its really sad that people have forgotten how to think and make their own opinion.
I wish people would check sources more. I did, immediately when this rumour came up, and I found absolutely nothing to substantiate it. So I never believed it. People should make that routine.
Same. And I agree with her desire to protect women and children. Saying we want to protect them is NOT the same as saying we hate trans people. There's a war going on in some sections of the media to control our thinking and they win when we stop questioning.
Kids these days get their news from TikTok... says all.
I wonder how many comments are being deleted on this video. My reply here is gone and it was very similar to the OP, who I agree with.
youtube (and fb, IG, meta all of em) have a bad habit of letting their AI pick and choose which comments to keep or scrap, and it's rarely correct. Of course it nixes the ones with swear words, or certain "controversial" words & topics, but if you'Ve had comments deleted in the past for legit issues, (I think) you end up on a list where many more of your future comments are deleted for no offense at all. Happens to me ALL THE TIME on instagram. Comments where I agree with the OP like you did here, or just share my thought on something harmless... seconds later I get a warning that I have violated some TOS. It's infuriating. I truly don't think Brett is deleting anything other than the obvious trolls.@@donkeysunited
My daughter is in her first year of college and got an assignment to discuss something with someone she disagreed with, plan for the conversation and diagnose what is actually happening in the conversation and review what they learn/think and what comes from it. She chose me for the conversation and it was about book banning in schools ... in the end she acknowledged that the furor over book banning was wildly overblown as a political and media wedge, and that she did agree that some books should not be in elementary school libraries.
The first time we had the conversation she didn't listen and just tried to shut me out as not being informed. I started out saying that virtually no writing was actually banned, but what was happening was that a small number of school librarians were found to have purchased books for their school that were inappropriate, but that I agreed that school districts were susceptible to crazy Karen's getting book ban crazy (one school in Texas banned a dictionary and Harry Potter).
Good teacher. Good lesson.
Not every college student appreciates it when we try to teach them higher order thinking like this in college. I hope your daughter does. Tons of college students want to watch their professors lecture like watching RUclips videos - no interaction, no brain activation, no note taking. 😮💨
I got my degree to be an educator and my favorite way of teaching was the Socratic method where I asked questions and challenged my students thinking not because of my beliefs but because I wanted them to think and struggle and come out with an opinion that they truly think and can defend. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it I was called to be a Stay at home mom before I got the chance to teach. But now I teach my kids, we read a lot, we talk a lot, I ask a lot of questions to encourage my young children to think, and I give space for that thinking to happen. Sometimes you think they’ve forgotten the question and right as your about to ask again they give you an answer.
It’s literally to the point where transphobic, homophobic, racist, etc is thrown around so flippantly that my first instinct is to not believe it. Now, I’ll happily change that if I’m shown actual evidence of them hating a certain group of people, but I feel like 8/10 times they just made comments similar to JK Rowling and somehow they are evil.
I had a teacher like this in high school and it shaped how I think even years later. I'm 30 now and my partner and I (high school sweethearts) often talk about how grateful we are to her as many people seem to lack the skill of critical thinking these days. People like this teacher in this video really do have a massive impact and change lives!
Thank you so much for this video. I was talking with my girlfriend about this as something was going on in our lives and I was telling her about the importance of critical thinking and questioning the things we read, watch, or hear. Gonna watch this again with her, and I thank you for making this incredibly important, informative, and helpful video.
Mr. Galbraith appreciates your ignoring his direct insults towards trans people.
Finally, people are starting to catch on to this! Thank you for covering this.
I love that the student can change his opinion and not have his world collapse. I love he was confident enough to say ‘I feel like an idiot’.
Also props to the teacher for truly being happy for the student, not treating it like a ‘win’.
So I have two perspectives on this, which is crazy!
I remember in Middle School our teachers were actually telling us to tell our parents to vote for Obama.
But once I got into High School none of the teachers would tell us what political views they held. They would always challenge the way we thought, and we didn't find out until after we graduated.
And when they don't know what to regurgitate, they say you can't have any opinion on the matter. I'm glad this teacher is teaching them how to think. It didn't change the student's opinion about the trans debate, but it certainly made him think better about how to react to arguments and opinions.
Actually in the video, the student ADMITS to knowing what is true when he just said a couple of seconds before "he doesn't have an opinion on it", which is impossible, but also shows the fear that the subject creates - he won't say what he thinks but chooses to follow the path of least resistance because it's safer for him socially. THAT'S the world that a completely misguided attempt at "everyone needs to be protected from words" created.
I love that last moment where Brett mentioned her mother would stop reading books to ask her what she thought about a passage or line, my father did this with TV shows when I was growing up. He'd pause an episode of Star Trek Next Gen or Leverage and ask what we thought was going to happen, or why we think a character would say or do something. I remember it was annoying at first but it felt so cool when I was right and started being able to predict what would happen based off of clues, comments and with critical thinking.
I sympathize with people who feel attacked and completely shut down while they dig their heels into the ground because they're scared of being wrong. It's super important to have conversations instead of shouting matches, we need dialogs, not monologs.
Scientist enter debates with an understanding that one of three outcomes is true:
I'm right, and you're wrong
You're right and I'm wrong because you have data I haven't considered
We're both wrong and neither of us knows why... yet!
If we talked about politics, social issues and ethics with this same mentality, I think we could start making some awesome progress!
I'm really liking these videos the more I learn from them, I especially appreciated the definition of "Illusory Truth" and its effect that was provided earlier! Thank you!
My dad did something similar, but mostly from a Christian worldview. Trying to get me to think critically about the music and TV I watched. I found it annoying as a kid but as an adult I find myself doing the same thing. He taught me to question things and think through them.
Oooh, parenting idea. Definitely going to use this if I ever have children 😁
As a teacher, I just want to say that I’m so proud of this student. He sounds like a true learner, willing to engage in a thoughtful conversation with his teacher 💛
It's not just public schools. I worked at a classical Christian school. I went in with this mindset. Didn't last a year. Even a lot of people who say they want kids to learn to think really just mean they want their kids to parrot whatever they say. For example, I had people get mad at me because in Bible class I didn't just say "here is what you should believe about this topic." I'd ask what they thought about a verse instead and then question in a constructive way to help them get there themselves so they could do it without me down the road.
That’s sad. It’s true that even in Christian circles the intellectual laziness (at best) has taken root and people aren’t willing to challenge what they believe or why.
Shout it louder!
I keep telling the conservatives that we're not only fighting the lies that have hijacked the left, but the system of thinking that has caused them to behave that way.
We can easily become the new woke in five years if we're not careful.
It's a Christian school that's what you should expect
@@melitajay no, that shouldn't be the expectation. I'm sure that is the reality at most of them, but it shouldn't be.
The utter lack of critical thinking (or thinking AT ALL) these days is beyond distressing.
I love how he keeps it conversational. It doesnt feel like an authority figure talking down or telling someone what to think. He is asking him questions that make him think and it is subtly helping his critical thinking
Exactly. Socratic interrogations can be very harsh and done in an egotistical way. In dealing with an emotionally driven issue it can drive people farther into their idiocy. A level headed, somewhat dispassionate approach makes a distinction between the student as a valuable individual and allows him or her to evaluate themselves their opinion.
@@EricDaMAJ Exactly and it makes them feel like they came up with the idea even though they needed someone to push this thought process along
I feel this is so important. I wasn't given this kind of education in school and it has inhibited my thinking in ways that can be hard to get past ever since.
The worst part is I can remember being curious, just about things, about the world, about mathematics ect. And I'm not anymore. That curiosity died at school and I've never managed to revive it.
I Honestly only slightly understand how you feel, because I was homeschooled and taught to think and answer my own questions. And I agree with you. Thinking critically, being curious, and reading books are all such vital things but, speaking from what I've seen in my friends, schools are killing all of these things in people and its saddening.
My sister told me the same things about JK Rowling one day and I believed that for a long time, but after knowing and understanding the reasons why, I changed my mind. I don't think like that anymore.
Jk Rowling.
My crime and punishment teacher let us debate with him healthily. It was my favorite class and he actually graded my research paper fairly. He respected our opinions and would read my writing with constructive criticism. I miss his class
What do you mean by crime and punishment? Is it about Dostoevsky's book?
@@stixoimatizontas , WE didn't do that one but it was other literary works that involved the crime and punishment theme.
Damn this is scary, how quickly people just go with the flow and don't check information themselves and when they are caught out parroting false information still try to wriggle out of it rather than just saying "My bad"
sometimes I feel like I am the only human on the planet that beleives nothing that I hear, until I can go and back it up with a source. I also will never argue anything I can not back up with a source... and it just baffles me that most people will just hear things and parrot them.
If true you are probably the only one. No sane person will double check every information he or she came across during the day. You had to deny everything or spend most of your day researching.
We need to do this more in schools. Teach children how to think, not what to think.
we are not taught how to think, but what to think…and that is so dangerous
Well perfect for supporting the gloried artificial "intelligence" if we're all idiots or brainwashed zombies
When you were talking about how somebody phrases a question. I think the term you were looking for is.. "it was a loaded question," meaning it was meant to trigger a reaction.
Brett, this clip is so insightful! It’s so true that the more you read about something, the more you begin to believe it. That’s why it’s so important to be careful with what you choose to read and listen to!
“The young people” 🤣🤣 Brett you are in spitting distance of Highschool.
When I was in high school in the 90’s, I was told that the reason I had to take algebra, geometry, etc. is to learn how to think! That idea has never left me. Critical thinking is dead in our country. People just regurgitate what they are told without question. It’s sad.
My kids are 6 and 4, we have such good discussions about what we read and the why's behind things. Rarely do I tell them the answer, but I ask careful questions as stepping stones so they learn how to reason out on their own. When something is wrong ( a wrong premise or wrong reasoning) we'll pause and talk about it. Currently reading through the Narnia series (half way now!) And the kids are making so many connections! Even young kids can reason and think, we teach them how to learn, they can apply that skill to whatever they need. Like birds learning to fly, they can get to wherever they need. We feed them only on our regurgitated ideas, they stay baby birds.
Have a newborn and a 1 year old, I can’t wait to read to them and see how there minds work.

This is what got me pissed about the johnny Depp ambuser heard case. Because anyone who watched it and really looked at the evidence knew she was an abusive liar but everyone looking at the media coverage even after was like oh no poor her.
The days we saw his teams psychologist testifying she had no PTSD then her psychologist say 'she was abused and had loads of ptsd' then be shocked when she was played audio of ambuser laughing about punching him and reacted shocked - the media was like AMBERS PSYCHOLOGIST SAYS SHE WAS ABUSED! And nothing about everything his teams psychologist said. Media sucks...
That teacher reminds me of one of my 😮 My first year of university was an election year. One of my professors told our class: "I am not going to talk about politics here or tell you how to vote, but I will say that if you don't vote, you shouldn't complain about the result." I still respect him.
I graduated college four years ago. Have professors gone down hill that fast?! This teacher was like most of my professors. They are there to teach you not what to think but HOW to think and how to think critically. Great teacher i hope there are more of them out there.

When my youngest niece was in grade school, of course they had an incentivized reading program. I picked up the book she was reading, read a few pages she had already read and asked her some questions. She COULD NOT answer my questions. I told her quality is better than quantity in the long run. What good is it to read all these books and not understand what you've read? I don't know if that sunk in, it might have. She's still a reader.☺️
when I was a kid, our incentive to read was a pizza hut personal pan pizza - I miss Book It!
@megsley That pizza was the best pizza because it was A REWARD.
It's not just your niece that has that problem. Even in my high school a great many years ago, you could clearly differentiate between people who read a lot and those that didn't because those that didn't could barely understand subtlety in fiction, and only understood surface level facts being provided. This was during those years that reading was still HEAVILY pushed and promoted, and the literature had little to no political messaging in them. Those who don't read then have to rely on those that do as their "authority" and this had changed over the years to people who CLAIM they know something about an issue (even when they never saw something or read the literature they are arguing about), which can't actually be proven either way, giving the rise to "fake experts", who believe so much in their own PR image (AND BS), that they FLAT out refuse to admit that alternative views or opinions might exist. So of COURSE this truck was going to go over a cliff at some time..
@megsley did the read for pizza program require proof of comprehension as a means of reward, or was it just a tally system?
@@sigmacademy so true!🤦🏻♀️
My favorite class in college was Critical Writing, Reading, and Thinking taught by Professor Archer. Our brains are remarkable instruments and it’s a crime when we don’t use them to really formulate accurate and critical opinions… not just regurgitate what we hear from someone else.

Remember, these are the people out protesting without knowing what it is they are protesting.
It's cool to watch someone be humble enough to concede to critical analysis. 👏
The trouble is not everybody is able to critically think for themselves or have an opinion different to general society. I loved the calm and pragmatism from the teacher, it really help the listener grow.
Bigoted transphobe is just yiddish word for upstanding moral person
