But that just doesn't seem to be humility. Someone who thinks about themselves little but, when or if they do, judges themselves perfect, is surely not humble?

I have just found your channel amazing!!! Your debates are just relaxing! I am dental student from Kurdistan-Iraq who is also studying Philosophy, I love philosophy ❤
While humility is important, humility taken to the extreme is bad. Because pride is also very important, and the reason for this is because pride is the source of 3 of a human being's other important qualities which are Honor, Shame and Dignity. If you're always humble all the time, and have no pride, then you have no honour, you have no shame and you have no dignity. And thus can be made to do whatever you're commanded to do because cult leaders like Charles Manson said that the best way to control people is to strip them of their pride
It is almost impossible to be 100% accurate about our own abilities. Given this assumption, is it better to overestimate our abilities, or to underestimate them? I would say it is more dangerous to overestimate our own abilities. Nonetheless, if we are to underestimate ourselves, there is a degree at which it can become just as dangerous. In my humble opinion, I think the best way to consider our own abilities is to always consider ourselves as a bit less than we would like to think we are. And we should also consider that maybe our success was due at least in part to luck. So if I score 80% on a test, I should consider that my abilities are good enough to get me up to around 75%. Intentionally applying humility to my own abilities. In that way, I will not be disappointed if I get a score lower than 80%. And I may even get proud if I do better. It also helps at getting the trust of people. People tend to view an expert doing a mistake as more human, compared to viewing a beginner doing the same mistake as annoying and a burden.
False humility in an apology sounds like sarcasm or a mock apology. Sarcasm has no place in the life of the truly humble How well do you accept compliments? That's a test of humility. Simply say "thank you" and mean what you say. Sincerity How well do you accept gifts? No I don't deserve this. Yes you do. Say thank you and accept the gift
I enjoyed the subject matter, but it really came off, to me, as more of a lecture than a true debate. I did not buy that there was any true disagreement to begin with. It came off as "put on"...Just the impression I got.
@@avivastudios2311 I mean that i think it is staged., a pretend "debate'". I don't believe there was ever any true disagreement. The "debate" was an excuse to express points they both share. It was a lecture disguised as a debate, Imo.
@@micahlively8321 Oh, yeah. That's why we love this channel. It makes it easier to remember topics. It's all scripted but it feels real enough. It's just the voice acting that's. 😁
@@micahlively8321yes it is a scripted debate, but the important thing is that it shows two opposing arguments on a particular topic rather than only showing one side or one perspective on any given topic
@@summerbreeze5115 This is not a bad take, however I think there are things that are more important than being at peace. Sometimes it's better to know the truth than to be happy and sometimes it's better to struggle for the good of other people. I believe that seeking happiness is a good thing though, at least 80% of the time.
We all want to feel good. Nobody desires pain. All desires/goals are for pleasure (personal or for mankind). Knowing the truth, studying Philosophy, Science, Psychology, having a purposeful goal, serving humanity, having a family are all different ways of attaining that. Yes, there's still subtle pleasure in suffering for a “good cause”. Life is objectively meaningless and I (personally) would like to have a happy/peaceful/fulfilling/meaningful (i.e Pleasurable) existence. Once you're dead it's all over anyway. Aslo, Freedom is an absolute must have. Financial freedom is a worthy goal to have in the real world. If you're financially sound you can buy the most expensive & pleasurable thing in life which is….Life itself (or Time).

I once heard humility defined as, not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less
That's the best definition of humility I have ever heard
But that just doesn't seem to be humility. Someone who thinks about themselves little but, when or if they do, judges themselves perfect, is surely not humble?
That's C.S Lewis if I'm not mistaken
@@damaplehound It was my own reflection, but it seems highly likely others may have had it. Do you have a reference for Lewis?

Pride isn't the opposite of shame but its source. Only true humility can be the antidote to shame.
This is one of the best videos you've ever made. Just wow... Good job.

Such an interesting topic that never once crossed my mind. Thanks for the upload!

@@PaulB_864 so it's not neither then... it's more in the direction of humility as you just pointed out.
I agree

Love these guys voices
Is there channel speaking concerning theology?
Humility is knowing your place in the universe.
What about civility and its practical uses?
Fantastic debate.
Can you plz talk about anti natalism and Benatar's symmetry argument.
That would be very interesting. I've watched three debates with Benatar - I think his arguments are well constructed but slightly flawed.

Well the disagreements were very minimal so maybe that's why it doesn't feel like a proper debate. What do you mean by "put on"?

Pleasure is the only purpose of life
?
Think about it
All we want deep down is Peace & a joyful state of consciousness. And not like being stressed, anxious & hopeless.
