1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: I hope to never be filmed when it comes to 2 00:00:02,879 --> 00:00:05,879 locating a podcast that I want to check into, because 3 00:00:05,879 --> 00:00:07,679 the very second I sit in the front seat of 4 00:00:07,719 --> 00:00:11,119 the car, that podcast has got a match where I 5 00:00:11,199 --> 00:00:14,880 am mentally as well as physically. That's why we created 6 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,160 the aerow dot net network to give you the power 7 00:00:18,199 --> 00:00:21,120 of choice all of these different things when it comes 8 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,120 to content, but it's not shoved into the same jar. 9 00:00:24,879 --> 00:00:29,519 You get to choose aero dot net, rroe dot net. 10 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,759 Enjoy your exploration. I'm always asking questions, and the reason 11 00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:36,200 why is because the fund begins when you start researching 12 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,640 for those answers such as why have today's protest turned 13 00:00:41,679 --> 00:00:46,640 into public displays of fire as well as anger? Plus 14 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,920 what's leading protests toward being even more destructive than what 15 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,799 they were in the nineteen sixties. My name is Erro. 16 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,880 I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. I stand on 17 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,200 the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate. 18 00:00:59,679 --> 00:01:02,359 I up and to call it the Daily Mess, a 19 00:01:02,479 --> 00:01:05,400 chronological walk through an everyday world. Yeah, this is what 20 00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:08,079 I write about in the morning. As a receiver of 21 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,840 thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw things 22 00:01:11,879 --> 00:01:14,079 to the side because oh, I got an idea. I'm 23 00:01:14,079 --> 00:01:16,359 going to deal with it later on. Okay, let me 24 00:01:16,439 --> 00:01:19,239 know how you're doing on that. All right. When a 25 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,840 subject arrives inside of me, I know it's time to 26 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:26,200 dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal, but by 27 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,599 doing the research, the picture becomes clearer. This is the 28 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:36,920 daily mess. Why have today's protests turned into fire and anger? 29 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,640 If it's peace that we want, why aren't we doing 30 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,719 it with peace and not pieces from our heart? It 31 00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:47,079 didn't take too long to be introduced to a laundry 32 00:01:47,079 --> 00:01:51,439 list of reasons. Why topping that list is a deep 33 00:01:51,959 --> 00:01:57,560 dug in standing of grievances. Studies show that war protests 34 00:01:57,599 --> 00:02:02,439 begin with an expression of serious community frustrations. When they 35 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,359 are being listened to, we then enter a new stage 36 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:10,599 of sorrow and then outrage. They're fighting in Iran because 37 00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:13,919 of the economy. Hardships in the country have risen to 38 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,400 fire and anger. In Minneapolis, a totally different story. It's 39 00:02:18,439 --> 00:02:21,759 over a fatal shooting by a federal agent. When people 40 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,759 feel ignored and or betrayed, frustration builds into rage rather 41 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:33,000 than remaining calm. Escalation is a reaction, and it's rarely spontaneous, 42 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:38,840 there is no clear leadership, which means no communication. Research 43 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,599 clearly shows it's the heavy handed law enforcements response that 44 00:02:43,719 --> 00:02:49,439 turns a peaceful protest into a clashing situation. Violence was 45 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,759 never seen as a widespread action to this reaction. This 46 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:59,080 pattern is far from being something new. Hey, coming up next. 47 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,800 Reach deeper into having a better understanding of why the 48 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:09,000 hell are we even protesting? Hey, thanks for coming back 49 00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:12,400 to the daily mess. Reaching deeper into having a better 50 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,719 understanding of why it is that we're protesting today? What 51 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,759 is leading us to fire and anger? Crowd psychology and 52 00:03:21,879 --> 00:03:25,759 group dynamics. The bigger the crowd, the greater the impact. 53 00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:29,360 Be aware though, that being part of such a crowd 54 00:03:29,479 --> 00:03:36,039 can reduce individual inhibition. It's called d individualization. And yes, 55 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:41,039 social media does amplify the moral outages and echo chambers. 56 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,159 This act makes participants feel even more violated as well 57 00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:50,120 as violated for aggressive approaches, even if your protest is legitimate. 58 00:03:50,759 --> 00:03:55,719 Large crowds and charged up rhetoric can heighten emotions. Now 59 00:03:55,879 --> 00:03:59,919 get the government involved. Tensions are on the rise. Authorities 60 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,960 tend to heat things up in Iran. They actually shut 61 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,719 down any form of communication to the outside world. Acts 62 00:04:07,719 --> 00:04:13,240 such as this serve as limitations for extremists and opportunitiess. 63 00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:17,560 Clashes are always going to happen. How they turn out 64 00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:21,199 is never going to be the same. The energy is 65 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:26,480 connected to an underlying anger. But what is that anger? 66 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:32,240 That frustration? You've got to talk about it, Tip dot Han. 67 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,480 His approach was not to avoid protests, but to engage 68 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,000 in peaceful actions rooted in mindfulness and compassion, rather than 69 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,120 anger and confrontation. He believed that true piece work must 70 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:49,199 begin with one's self. I'm errow, and that's the daily mess.
