I felt the point was more that street interviews basically almost only consists of individuals telling their opinions based on their lived experiences. But their experiences are basically dictated by the structures in society in which the individuals are immersed. On this basis, only a queer person can have a lgbtq-friendly perspective because only they have faced lived experiences that have negatively affected them because of queerphobia. And only a woman can have a feminist perspective because only they have lived experiences that have negatively affected them because of patriarchy. because ultimately the structures in society which oppressed/uplifted them dictate their lived experiences and thus their opinions on politics. And that is usually the case in the videos even where they "capture both sides of the story" for eg. the only progressive interviewees (for eg. in case of street interviews on feminist issues) being 99% of the times women and so on But that doesn't in any way give any indication of what is the general truth. I mean that even without any bias what they're saying maybe as equally far away from the general truth as it is close to the general truth. What actually should be used to find the general truth is scientific knowledge and experience(which is also 100% based on lived experiences but in this case it is only about stuff they have expertise in and have worked on ) And because we progressives realize that the general truth may or may not be consistent with our lived experiences, we support a lot of causes that don't affect or benefit us. Also, common sense is more used by conservatives because common sense is what comes instinctively and our instinct is basically 100% shaped by the structures in society we live in. And while most of conservatives want to stick to the current societal structures, progressives want to depart from a lot of current societal structures. And thus it is so more effective for a conservative to use common sense politics The emotions conservatives use to push their politics are in two words, instinctive emotions and the emotions leftists use to push their politics are in two words, sensitive emotions

The framing process starts with choosing the people you think will give that answer and not talking to other (more sensible looking) people. And then of course he could select which people he’d show in the 2 minute video. Two minutes, but we were on the street all day! Only the funniest/craziest answers were selected out of still a great number of nuanced answers we got that day. I try to keep this in mind when watching anything.

one thing alice doesnt mention about street interviews, is that many interviews actually aim not to say "look, this is obvious since everyone agrees on it" but instead aim to say "look how stupid the average person (or unfortunatelly usually women) is" when in fact most people who said anything did say something correct and intelligent, thats also something to keep in mind, and also a lot of answers are very repetitive sometimes, and sometimes people are on the run, i actually did street interviews (well, not really my interviews were exclusivelly on my university but they were open to anyone even if they just came there for some random reason and werent workers or students) and in those i learned that i could only interview people who were chilling and not doing anything in particular, especially moving, if people were walking i wouldnt even bat an eye cause they obviouslly wanna get somewhere, and not be interrupted in that, so yeah theres a lot to keep in mind, i once saw a couple who seem stressed and they said that it wasnt the best time and i obviouslly respected that, sometimes some people also answer some questions but not others, i asked a girl many questions and actually interviewed her two times, but the last question she said she didnt want to answer which was "what is your greatest fear" and well yeah, i imagine her greatest fear must be extremelly personal, or embarrasing maybe, but the two other people i asked that did respond, so theres some questions who might also be triggering in some way, thankfully she wasnt very bothered, just didnt want to answer it, but actually id say interviewing people is one of the most amaizing activities ever still

If I had asked the same question in 1970 I'm pretty sure most people would think that it was a necessary part of raising a child or simply a private decision for every family.

Hey! Thanks for your video, as usual, your content is great. I haven't thought in depth about how to articulate an answer to your question but ideas poped to my mind and I thought it'd be interesting to write them now. I have recently explained to my (white, able, cis) boyfriend that when we debate about feminism together, I am slightly annoyed that he doesn't take into account the fact that I cannot enter this debate the same way he does: without feelings, only taking into account logic and facts, without fear. He debates with me as if I was a man, but my experience of being a woman in our current society (i.e. of having lived sexism) prevents me from entering this debate in the same way. I remember my mother reacting very similarly to me when I was a teenager debating about communism: she had lived communism and because of that, instead of agreeing to debate with me as if this wasn't the case; she just repeated "you're a fool". She was not interested in me "winning" or "loosing" the debate, she was worried about the rise of a youth which was pro-communism. Does it mean that my mother or I are further away from the truth because we aren't able to debate about those topics in the same way external people do? Of course not, quite the contrary: we have lived it. Just like those scientific experience which in theory promised one thing but in practice showed another leaving everyone to scratch their heads, we are the proof that stuff can be missed. I therefore wondered if we could have more constructive debates, debates of another kind, which have people who are concerned talk: those who can reason, know the facts, are probably more interested in the subject as well but also have lived it and therefore can tell when a theory is only good in theory. It would incorporate down-to-earth close experiences of people who have lived something, with the logic and the facts of the more traditional debates.

The way to have more constructive debates is to simply not have debates. They are pointless for everyone involved, the people debating, the audience, etc... Have discussions with people if you want to have a constructive exercise to bounce ideas & thoughts back & forth with someone. An exercise where the people involved can take time to look into the things the other person is saying which you hadn't heard about before & see whether there is any legitimacy behind them or find out why there isn't. Where you can both/all look up the things you sort of remember, but not exactly. You know, an activity where you & someone whose thoughts & views you respect & whose values you believe match yours, but you disagree on something. So you can learn why you have those different views & learn if there is anything either, or both, of you are missing. Debating is 2 people trying to prove they are right & the other is wrong. Nothing constructive can come out of that activity because neither of them is interested in finding out the truth, so they will both leave the debate with the same views they came into it with. Whatever the truth about the subject is irrelevant to who is perceived as the winner, which when you think about kind of undermines what a debate's fundamental purpose is does it not? This sort of thing is a two-way street as well you know. Very few people are ever willing to genuinely listen & consider the things the other person who disagrees with them says [then they all get upset about how the other person just ignored or dismissed everything they were saying.] You can't expect someone to give you something when you are unwilling to give that same thing to them in return.

I think we need a new type of honest debate. If you get two people who have completely conflicting worldviews or perspectives then a debate won't do anything useful except maybe create a false "winner". Most more honest debates happen in writing rather than vocally. A vocal discussion can be useful though. Theses either can be private debates where people listen to each other. Or, they can work a lot better for "What should be do about X?" debates. As well as debates about the application of values, so long as you are kind of aware of the values involved. Now you might make differing truth claims and support them with evidence. But fully diving into the level that is likely to make progress will probably be in depth enough that it goes into the realm of professionals. Except perhaps in fields that aren't very scientifically developed. For "What is true" type debates, I think that writing is a better medium. Since then many of the other factors that are irrelevant to truth are removed. But that does reduce how many people it can reach. @@aaronhoy3410

@aaronhoy3410 The debating you depict is the one that we have come accustomed to, but the ones who do it like that don’t actually know how to debate they are just know how to argue. Actual debating allows us to not remain in our own echo chamber and find flaws in your argument so that we can fixe them. It allow us to grow better ideas. This is why a writer has an éditer, to find new flaws. Debate is synonymous to constructive criticism and correction if you know how to properly do it. There shouldn’t be winners in debates and this is where we went wrong. (If you can’t tell im really into debating so I might be biased)

Minds can be changed but it is a long self-reflecting process. It usually doesn't happen in a moment or a single discussion. At best you saw the seeds and one day the might grow. What I think would be useful is to create an environment that allows people the time and provides them the resources to change their mind. It is frustrating though for people who are already "there" to wait for the others to join, but I see no other way (except force which you'd agree I hope is unacceptable). Anyway, I'm not a vegan, I love meat and cheese. I've been reducing my meat consumption drastically (it was never great) in the last few months, I'll be off it one day. But cheese will be hard... What I mean is even when people are sold to an idea it is hard to then change their habits...

I call it a "journey" when I explain it to people. Nobody starts from the same place either. I had this strange unfair advantage where due to having been on restricted diets for my IBS before, going vegan was nothing in terms of effort, once I had made the decision. In terms of providing people that environment to make the change, there's a lot of examples but one that comes to mind is Veganuary. If you are participating in an at-work program and have that support and the social network of others participating it can make people feel less outcast. Not a factor for me, but for others, I know feeling socially isolated in their efforts can be something that makes them want to quit. Even though I know everyone's on a journey, it can be momentarily rewarding to see a gifted street conversationalist getting people to admit more in a few minutes than I will almost ever see my friends, family and colleagues admit to in a year. Doesn't mean the person in the video is automatically converted to a new dietary pattern, but it does give a glimpse into processes going on beyond just their personal justifications (always valid to me) and ongoing choices.

My take on this (as a political scientist student): I definitely agree with the concept of "affects" or in general, emotions guiding politics as well as voting. It is visible all over the world and has been shown in several studies, and when I am talking about emotions I am not talking about anger or hate, even more positive emotions guide how people will vote. I think this is visible as well when people refer to having a "gut feeling" about something or someone, nowadays visible in the sphere of conspiracy theories (whether right or left-wing). Sadly, several studies have also shown that sometimes when presented with facts that counter their opinion, people tend to stick even harder to their opinion, instead of changing it according to facts. Which brings me to why the right-wing is leading the discourse in several european countries. Even if the facts are not there or straight up lies, people believe some things simply because of the emotions they created and the sense that their "gut feeling" was right after all. Oftentimes, especially with right-wing voters a lot of arguments they present are about conception: their conception is that there are more crimes, more violence etc. even if statistics point to the opposite. Oftentimes we then hear stories of someone's family members friend who had this experience. As a progressive myself I tried endless times in debates changing peoples opinion with facts, where the outcome was lala. However I believe, especially for voters that don't necessarily are huge politics nerds (as myself) we as the left/progressive start speaking to their emotions more. This also applies to climate change (in my opinion). People start moving when they are affected by something directly or when their emotions are touched. I guess thats why oftentimes people claim that the right-wing politicians/the populists speak their language. I believe what they mean is that they adress/affect their emotions. Sorry for writing a whole book here, just wanted to share my perspective on this.

I really appreciate what you have written, since this is a video about politics and knowledge, I really really love it when people write like you. (sadly, long comments like that don't draw a lot of attention) I feel a little pessimistic about "emotion". Utilizing too much emotion is like dealing with demons, it's dangerous. Right-wing do that, left-wing also do that, that's horrible. I don't know what should we do, it's like both sides press the nuclear bottoms. We can't deny that the leftist discourse was more emotional than the right throughout the history until 21st(or late 20th), and then the right people started to become more and more emotional. Besides, sometimes people get a feeling, that it contradicts statistics. Some intellectuals might say this is because those people are dominated by emotion so they're biased, other intellectuals would say we can't replace human experience with statistics. Which side is right and which side is left? Ironically, I can't tell, depends on which side benefit to left or right. (the first idea against statistics was from French post-structuralism, apparently left lean) As to crime, like crimes in Europe and the US are increasing, that's true, cause I've read some overseas people who are clearly not the right-wing wrote about security getting worse from 15 years ago to now. So that's a thing, though in some specific areas are not like that. I was a liberal or leftist, but I'm getting more and more confused. I'm Chinese, so like 3 years ago, people here on the internet started to talk about inequality, anti-neo-liberalism, or something like that, I was feeling, oh that's good, until I found many of their ideas is the soviet union or China governed by Mao. When I looked at West people's discussion on the internet, it's slightly better, but I don't feel that's totally different, you know, people who want to control others by force, that's not good, even with good motive. So now, in the value or theory field, I'm a post-modernism liberal, but in practice, I support gradualism, clearly not a typical leftist.

The long and short; you can interview people with questions you craft to get specific responses, and you can clip out 99% of responses if you like, all to elicit the exact reaction you want. No matter the source interviews, you can use them to say absolutely anything. It is demagoguery aimed to reinforce already-held beliefs or to entice those on the fence over through an appeal to emotion, or through a strawman, or something equally fallacious, through the guise of entertainment. Like most demagoguery of the modern age. Because "street interviews" and "street interviews recorded, edited, and posted online" aren't the same thing. Just like they weren't when Late Night Anthropomorphic Chin Jay Leno was doing it in the 90's to show how dumb Americans are. And the reason it works is interviewers pretending to be impartial, or reasonable, or truth-seeking.

Very informative comment. Thank you! Media criticism is getting stronger in the wider population, even though it started as some niche anecdotal subject in academia. Of course we still have biases and still can be manipulated by newer PR strategies. Stuart Ewen is one of my favourite writers on the subject of PR and media criticism in general. I guess it's a battle for our attention, emotions, first impressions & superficial judgements .. We're learning to avoid it, but as we learn, there are markets, academic departments, firms, white-collar employees, and even foot soliders working day and night to fill the vaccum. No example is more apparent than when the transition from traditional to digital media happened. It's only logical that all this capital must chase people wherever they go. The question I can't answer is, why do we feel the need to consume all this entertainment?

So just a quick little correction at 3:59, you misquoted Socrates. The quote is from the Apology and what he actually says is “I don’t claim to know what I do not know.” This varies from translation to translation but that’s more or less the gist of it. Edit: A little exposition, though there’s room for variation, the misquote, “all I know is that I know nothing” is inherently self contradictory. To begin with it’s not possible to know nothing. And furthermore, even if it was possible, you disprove your statement automatically by claiming to know that you know nothing, since claiming to have knowledge of your lack of knowledge is knowledge already.

I used to take naps on my lunch breaks at work in my car when it wasn't too hot. And I supress emotions around anyone who is outside my household, yes.

I go to sleep like around 20 minutes, but the issue is that at that point I hear phantasmal sounds. Like noises that don't exists. One episode where I was in sleep paralysis and hearing these noises, and seeing a black silloutte standing over me like they were holding a microphone. They were all black. hard to make out. Silloutted against an off white stucko wall, and a maple stained fan blade. I'll never for that.

Well, I think that video essays has been pretty successful. In summary, they are like podcasts, so you can hear them almost anywhere, it promotes cultural conscious exchange which helps to not only learn about a certain topic but also be aware of how others are affected by phenomenos. Basically it's like having a conversation with someone in the time you need and gives you that insight of social interaction. Of course like anything, you mentioned in this video, there's also a lot of video essays that can be problematic but that's part of the message we are projecting. The point is to bring question marks and opinions through ALL sources available. The bigger the question, the more problematic will provoke but is just everyone is touched emotionally to that that question. As we know, a good conversation and reaching agreements should be easy and even enjoyable if everyone knew who they, where they are and with who they are. It would mean that everyone is on tuned even though they have different mindsets. Having respest means that you can handle those skills and you are aware of how others are different to you and how much they could affect each other, from the humble or the evil and vice versa . This is why it's easier for us to have this common sense with our nearest circles, because we pay attention to them. For example. The most common social circles comes from work, family, school, and the people involved in the activity you spent most of your free time. Then we have to consider the amount of time you spent with each social circle. Here we raise a new question that maybe you have never asked yourself but your "common sense" tells you a premature answer with explanation on why you spent the amount of time on each social circle. If everyone could be able to ask this question to themselves and be able to accept their answer and act based on it with everyone, it will very slowly promote this self confidense and awareness of which will leads to more honest thoughs as your are going to speak only true, as you are acting on being your true self and what you believe. This action is the message and is the way it's the way we have socially exchange thoughts through time. The more think about yourself, the less oppressed you are. Because your point of view is the only source where your common sense comes from and it will be affected by the environment you are inmerse. If your point of view comes from self experience and the ones who witness your guidance, your common sense will develop from there. I see common sense as something you will develop with life time and it matures on as much as lifestyle allows it. If you are conscious of your actions and words, it will mature and evolve into a experience version of your actions and words from your true self, the all.

Is the common sense we hear in street interviews merely a product of linguistic framing effects? Once I learned how easy it is to use different phrasing to elicit typical responses (e.g. using "crash" or "smash" instead of "collide," people generally estimate a much higher speed of contact between cars in an accident), my skepticism of any non-academic interview response being honest grew exponentially. Value-laden and emotionally charged phrases likely elicit "common sense" responses in social commentary. The left is at her best, building power through organizing. I am not saying we could not learn how to use framing effects to elicit leftist sentiments from street interviews. Instead, we can leave such manipulative and undignified methods behind.

I blame Jay Leno. Conan had a hilarious parody of these types of bits where he set up his employees on the street and asked super complex questions and they'd accurately answer until they'd miss on one and he'd laugh at them and call them idiots before moving on and it really summarized the whole situation really well.

No wonder people get more aggressive and stupid at the same time. So my new strategy is to call for nuance and humanity, rather than seek stronger arguments. And humour to make fun of the Dunning Kruger level of argumentation. Like take the logic of the other to extremes.

There ARE certain tools and strategies we can use from the other side. 1. ABC or Always Be Communicating. The Right repeats their points over and over (cycling) so that even those that don't intake the news of the day will eventually hear their message. 2. Message cohesion. The Right tends to group together as one with whatever message they want to push at any given time. This along with point 1 helps the same.simple message break through the noise of our modern world. I can't see Alice arguing away those first 2 as the power of communication is literally everything. Have you ever wondered how bad legislation gets through? Good communication gets through bad legislation. Bad communication never gets through good legislation. There's a reason Alice is known as a communicator. 3 HATE. The left has to use hate and create more hate for the systems that oppress people. Hate for the corporations that poison us all on a regular basis. Hate for religious leaders who's speach leads to the death of others. Nothing motivates people more than hate and the left should find creative ways to harness it for good.

So debatong ben shapiro isn't about shapiro but his fans.

You touched on it a few times but humour/light-heartedness is quite an important thing that's very overlooked by progressives/leftists. I think the average person is turned off by the serious and controlling demeanour of most progressives rather than the ideas. For example, you couldn't pick up on the fact that the "women have ruled the world since the beginning of time" guy was clearly being tongue-in-cheek and so going off about how he's ignorant and doesnt know facts or history will just turn away most people from your position because they find his comment funny. So many progressives come across as whiny and controlling (particularly on LGBT and women's issues) whereas right wing figureheads are much friendlier and more charismatic, even when they're trying to provoke emotions like fear and anger. You can also see it in how many "comedians" spend their entire show ranting about wokeness/cancel culture and become insanely popular, while there's only a handful of comedians who are either progressive or apolitical in their shows, and are still funny. Eddie Dempsey (assistant general secretary of the RMT in the UK) wrote a great article about how normal people aren't stupid and don't want to be treated like children. The vast majority of people can have complex, original ideas about economics, philisophy and politics etc even if they aren't academic experts in it. Bringing up the dunning kruger effect is like saying "see? Science says you (the average person) are stupid and should know your intellectual place". That kind of attitude will always put people off from whatever you want to say/promote.

I think the question “how to convince people to join a social cause?” Is the wrong question. When you focus too much on convincing you assume that the subject is not very obvious (I mean, everyone knows that workers are exploited) and that you need to enlighten another poor mind with all your knowledge. In this sense, I think what should be done is just be a collective being. Get to know people around you, get to know their feelings and issues and be genuine about helping them whenever you can, in the ways you can. Be a member of your community and it shall grow stronger and have openings for great intelectual discussions. Overtime, the sense of community, being part of something bigger and interest in helping others will develop.

The arguments that they express is already existent and recognized by many people, it is comfortable.

I agree with your opinion in total but here are two problems which are important. First, focusing on "social structure" doesn't means it isn't emotional. In many situations, it's more emotional because the core information which people would receive, is, you're the oppressed, and you have to fight those oppressors. For more than 200 years, it's obvious that the left-wing was more emotional than the right-wing on average, until social media, the right-wing has become emotional, but classic right wings still exist. Second, The theory of the Dunning-Kruger effect is tricky because since billions of people live on the planet, you can always find an ignorant person who is confident about what he or she believes, and find a knowledgeable person who knows he or she doesn't know many things. But on average, if you spend a lot of time learning something, you'll be confident in that topic, and vice versa. So the perspective of this theory is strengthening the expert discourse to some degree. Actually, there're so many experts who convey their idea with so-called evidence-based research to make it compelling, it can be actually wrong, or at least, unpleasing to many people. What would you do if you think those powerful experts are oppressing you? I'm not a supporter of populism, I'm a liberal leftist, but there's the fact we can't ignore. We can't just tell the people we don't like that they're irrational or biased. They just hold a different standpoint.

My thoughts mainly for the Y t algo.: There are many common senses. It is not so much a weapon of the right as a conflict between different forms of thought we've been raised with. "Women are people," is common sense and so is, "Women are more emotional than men." Both of these ideas are in the realm of 'common sense' but one is progressive and the other reactionary (irrespective of one being indisputable and the other being wrong). It doesn't belong to the right. We can appeal to common-sense values we're taught in childhood about fairness (that the right counters with 'common sense' ideas about social hierarchy that we're taught to set aside that other 'common sense' for in adulthood). Rhetoric has never been a weapon of the right. It is the core of persuasion - where even someone who has verifiable facts at their disposal must use it to convince people. The facts are leverage or a special engine strapped to rhetoric to help it shoot ahead of that of those whose 'facts' can't stand up to scrutiny. I don't think Paine was tricking anyone. He was just using a different common-sense from the one posited by the ruling class propaganda of his day.

I would suggest art infused with activism as a weapon against the status quo, I admire both traditional and digital art but I prefer the former. Anyways to get on with my point, I believe art appeals to our emotions and our most primitive unconscious urges in ways that are unfathomable to the human spirit. As art is widespread on the cultural landscape thus, it would have such a great and everlasting impact on people. Also, making better use of pop culture can make information more accessible and digestible but I wonder if there’s a way to appeal to older folks because they don’t follow all that jazz. My third suggestion is giving speeches and inviting people that represent the facts and statistics to share their stories which I believe would appeal to people that have a more pragmatic approach.

I do man on the street interviews for my channel and I will interview anyone that will talk to us. Not many people want to go on KZitem about animal rights or veganism in the America south. I'm upfront about the topic, which is why we get so many rejections. For every person we get to agree to an interview, there's prob around 10 that say no at most locations. That's the nature of man on the street type interviews. The viewer doesn't see all the people that decline the interviews.

There was some arsehole who had his own KZitem channel at my old university where he did this. The town my university was in is not very diverse place and is known for its racism. He was going round asking people what they thought about Shamima Begum, who is a controversial topic which has been used to push a racist narrative in the UK.

Street interviews are Justice in action. "... and makes even more sense for you." - said Alice. Dwell on that for a moment. That's what I thought Thomas Paine was trying to say to [me, someone he couldn't know]. So what makes even more sense for you or me? I wrote a short essay four decades ago, pre-Internet. "On The Independent Pursuit Of Justice", or OTIPOJ for short. I gave it to a couple friends to ask if it made any sense to them? People copied it, mailed it around, publicity ensued, and a bit more Justice ensued from that. I invented nothing in that essay, I just made smarter people's good sense make even more sense for me and my friends. That small essay helped me, my friends, and people I never met, to make more sense of what we saw around us at the time. 40 years on, what is Justice? Same as it ever was, except the Internet can cloud it. Street interviews are Justice in action. You ask, they judge. Some people try to learn from the shoulders of giants as best we can. Help each other, please. Like Alice, in both senses of the word.

The only reasonable justification for a street interview is as a video aid for learning foreign languages.

The quote is very abbreviated, but if you translate it rightfully Socrates actually said something like “I know that I don’t know” and not that he knows nothing

ironically that's actually the misinterpretation of the dunning kruger effect. In reality more or less everyone thinks they're in the 60th-70th percentile in knowledge/ability.

I really don't think that street interviews are that appreciated, or at least shouldn't be. You can just edit out the answers you don't want and put emphasis on others by placing them at the beginning or the end of the segment / interview.

I don't think making appeals to emotion will, imo, "legitimize the tools of the other side." These are tools that work on a human level, they don't respond to our attempt to either legitimize or to condemn them. It's like saying "We only punch with our left hand. Our opponents use their right hand, but we don't want to legitimize the use of one's right hand." It's silly to deny yourself the use of a tool when that tool is appropriate for the job. Now, that said, we shouldn't _lie_ to people, but for those people who may not be susceptible to rational argument, refusing to use the only tool that might change their mind, is to cede their support to the other side. (Also, I agree that debate is no way to determine truth. The "winner" of a debate may or may not have facts on their side. They also may openly lie about the facts to win the debate.)
