1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,680 Speaker 1: Some of the greatest authors today are those that wear 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:07,360 the title YA author. Just because their name is associated 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,839 with YA doesn't mean they don't have brilliant works of art, 4 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,439 which is the reason why we created YA Authors Unplugged. 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,039 You can find it at Arrow dot net a R. 6 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,640 R Oe dot net. Get to know the YA authors 7 00:00:21,679 --> 00:00:25,559 in your very adult world. Enjoy the exploration when it's 8 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,160 extremely difficult to make up your mind, you know, to 9 00:00:28,199 --> 00:00:30,399 make a choice. I mean, having the power of choice 10 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,719 can actually weaken a person's heart. On this episode, we're 11 00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:37,359 going to explore the decision to run a red light, 12 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,640 no matter how dangerous it really is. Not stopping when 13 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,399 that light is red doesn't stop us from pushing that 14 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:50,640 car forward. Plus Jake Paul, an influencer, Why does he 15 00:00:50,759 --> 00:00:53,840 make the choice to fight the biggest names in boxing? 16 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,560 My name is Arrow. Life is a series of choices. 17 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,320 I mean, who decides when you're not making the right choice? 18 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,039 And is it a fear out of things going wrong? 19 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,280 The greatest lessons in life are often lost inside hidden 20 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,000 away attempts and concepts. It's time to reopen your heart. 21 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,760 Having that power of choice is actually your daily gift. 22 00:01:14,359 --> 00:01:17,680 On this highway We're gonna learn how to trust mirages. 23 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,239 What is the choice? Why do we choose to run 24 00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:26,120 a red light? Hold up? Hold on, whoa woa woe? 25 00:01:26,239 --> 00:01:29,439 We have to create a stall here? Why do we 26 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,519 choose to run a red light? I have been quickly 27 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,480 reminded that people usually do not run a red light, 28 00:01:39,159 --> 00:01:43,359 if it's truly experienced. It's due to a mix of psychology, pressure, 29 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,280 and misjudgment. The bandits that steal from our common sense 30 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:52,120 and respect for the law are time pressure and urgency. 31 00:01:52,239 --> 00:01:55,359 I mean, we are convinced that we're always running late, 32 00:01:55,799 --> 00:01:59,120 or that one light, Eh, it won't make a physical difference, 33 00:01:59,239 --> 00:02:02,640 Just go through the day. The brain puts the importance 34 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,959 of immediate gain way ahead of abstract risk. A potential 35 00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:11,199 crash is what we think is going to happen, but 36 00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:13,439 it never does. So what do we do? We go 37 00:02:13,479 --> 00:02:16,680 through the next red light. Other reasons why we choose 38 00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:20,280 to run a red light include the absence of immediate punishment. 39 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,479 I mean, the brain is saying, low risk, low risk, 40 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,240 do it, put your foot on the pedal. Come on. 41 00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:32,159 Number two, cognitive overload or distractions. Number three. Running a 42 00:02:32,199 --> 00:02:35,000 red light makes us feel like I'm the one that's 43 00:02:35,039 --> 00:02:38,879 in control. Look at me, I just ran a red light, 44 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,360 and passing through a red light is habit forming. Once 45 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,039 you start to get away with it, it becomes your 46 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,680 daily thing. Emotion and urgency have beaten up all things 47 00:02:50,719 --> 00:02:57,360 connected to logic. Coming up next, Why would someone like 48 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,759 Jake Paul want to climb into a rising with some 49 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,840 of the biggest fighters of all time? Hey, welcome back 50 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,439 to the choice. Why would someone like Jake Paul want 51 00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:12,319 to climb into a boxing ring with some of the 52 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,800 biggest top dogs in the boxing world. I mean we're 53 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,240 talking about true champions here, like Mike Tyson and Anthony Joshua. 54 00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:22,919 Is he a modern day daredevil, you know, like Evil Knievel. 55 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:28,319 The answer can be summed up in three words psychology, business, 56 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,800 and modern celebrity culture, not just pure sport. Jake Paul 57 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:39,120 is addicted to legacy by association. Jake Paul has mastered 58 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,280 the art of sharing the headlines. Do you think you 59 00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:44,800 could do it? Share the headlines and get away with it. 60 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,840 There's also a huge financial gain for everybody that's involved. 61 00:03:50,479 --> 00:03:54,560 Number Three, validation and respect, which I got to totally 62 00:03:54,639 --> 00:03:56,840 laugh at when it's connected to someone like Jake Paul, 63 00:03:57,479 --> 00:04:02,000 validation and respect. Trust me, everything that I read about 64 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,719 Jake Paul, the dude doesn't really give a crap about 65 00:04:04,719 --> 00:04:07,039 what you think and do you have respect for him? 66 00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:11,560 He doesn't care. Seriously, in all these fights, the risk 67 00:04:11,639 --> 00:04:14,800 has been under control. It has been reported that these 68 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,879 fights are structured to limit a downside. Yet to see 69 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,199 Jake Paul go down with a bloodied face in the 70 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,920 sixth round with Joshua, that was some of the most 71 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,360 realistic structuring I've ever seen in my life, because how 72 00:04:29,399 --> 00:04:30,920 many of us were sitting on this side of the 73 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:36,079 flat screen saying, damn, it's about time real sports have 74 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,519 become blurred by people just like Jake Paul. He's got 75 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,000 what it takes to grab the viewers and internet followers. 76 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,839 Where will he take it after this sixth round fall? 77 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,279 It's a choice. My name is Arrow, and that's what 78 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,439 I was writing while the sun was waking up on 79 00:04:54,519 --> 00:04:55,879 a brilliant new day.
