| Yep, yep, yep, yep. | |
| It's really important. | |
| And I know this hour has impacted a lot of people. | |
| The feedback over a quarter of a century. | |
| By the way, just the very notion, I've been doing this for 25 years. | |
| Time is a very odd thing. | |
| As you all know, this is not some revelatory comment, but I just want to note, when... | |
| If you say to somebody, 25 years from now, it seems so long. | |
| But 25 years ago doesn't seem long at all. | |
| Yes, that's the eerie part of life. | |
| So, I debated whether to... | |
| Review this from a study done, or actually, not a study, but a report about schools in higher education in the United Kingdom and happiness. | |
| Because basically, I'm telling it to you to note that what I've been telling you for a quarter of a century, they're now uncovering... | |
| at universities. | |
| So here's for example, okay? | |
| Bristol United Kingdom. | |
| Can happiness be obtained by learning about it in school? | |
| The University of Bristol's Science of Happiness course launched in 2018 is helping answer that question. | |
| Not your typical college class. | |
| The innovative course features absolutely no tests or work. | |
| Instead, it focuses on teaching students what the latest peer-reviewed studies in psychology and neuroscience suggest really makes people happy. | |
| And virtually everything that they teach, I have been telling you for 25 years. | |
| It's so interesting because so often I'm attacked through having the influence that I do. | |
| Oh, you know, he, um... | |
| One place was my favorite. | |
| Prager is a graduate school dropout. | |
| Now, I've heard of high school dropouts, and I've heard of college dropouts, but I've never heard of graduate school dropouts. | |
| But it is true. | |
| I left graduate school after two years to write a book. | |
| The book is still in print, and I have a feeling it's a lot more impactful than any master's thesis I could have written. | |
| But anyway. | |
| This notion, which the left, and not even the left, they've embraced it, they use it as a weapon, but liberals just as much, and probably many conservatives, that if you don't have a degree, if you're not credentialed, then you're not worth hearing. | |
| When I spoke against lockdowns, everybody who attacked me, then it was widespread, the attacks. | |
| This was 2020, and I opposed them. | |
| It's in print. | |
| It's on the Internet. | |
| You can see it. | |
| I said it was the greatest international mistake in history. | |
| I was right. | |
| And nearly all epidemiologists were wrong. | |
| So, of course, people said... | |
| Where is his scientific degree that he can comment on lockdowns? | |
| So what happens is the notion that you can think clearly without a degree is dead. | |
| But it turns out that most of the experts who spoke out were wrong. | |
| I mean really wrong. | |
| I mean injuriously wrong. |
