Being a person is better than being perfect all the time #TEDTalks
Why are we so obsessed with productivity? Horticulturist Rebecca McMackin (who wants people to let their lawns grow wild) and author Catherine Price (who wrote a book about the power of fun) come together to discuss the relief of giving up control. From growing milkweed to taking up unproductive hobbies, they dig into the benefits…

@ThomasAquinas-y9p bro I pray to God you’re not using your literal full name as your handle on YouTube on the Internet? I just don’t comprehend people like that. But I do agree with your comment it is equally just as insane. Like putting your full legal name on one of the most public platforms in all of the world.

@kccc1887— it is pathetic that SmartSometimes doesn’t know that but chalk it up to the pathetic state of US educational system. But the poster’s name does ring true
