00:00Shame can be a very constructive force.
00:02I do not necessarily dislike it when people feel ashamed.
00:06In fact, sometimes it is very important that someone develops a sense of shame after all.
00:11But that shame has to be real and that shame has to arise from understanding.
00:17That shame cannot just be a social or moral construct.
00:20Are you getting it?
00:21Instead of feeling ashamed of our fallacies,
00:25we should use them to see who we really are.
00:28When you behave like a monkey, you are a monkey.
00:30Now, why are you feeling ashamed?
00:31What are you ashamed of?
00:32You are only behaving in the way of your cousins in the jungle, right?
00:38And when you behave like your cousins from the jungle,
00:42you should know that you are a creature of the jungle.
00:44There is no need to hide that jungleness beneath a veneer of moral shame.
00:51I am an animal.
00:52And when you say, I am an animal, that must be accompanied by, I need not be.
