Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@s1n4m1n says : Trust me, it doesn’t work that way. You find a nasty, hog-like woman who was abused by her parents, well, you’ve got a mess and there ain’t no fixing her. Stay away, you’ve been warned.>> <<@roderick167 says : Turn this into a movie>> <<@MALICEM12 says : Wasn't expecting the tale to be the origin of Shrek. this is a very interesting tale, and sort of the opposite yet still kin of "Taming of the Shrew". I must also say, it is lovely to see the written for of the old Germanic English before it was destroyed with the romantic simping of modernity.>> <<@JoTheVeteran says : Men want to be respected. Women want to be loved. -Vee>> <<@reahthorolund8373 says : Genuinely beautiful, I was close to shedding a tear.>> <<@keegobricks9734 says : Hmm. I'd probably have chosen her being good looking during the day, and then turned off the lights at night.>> <<@crispybatman480 says : Gawain is a real stand up guy...>> <<@Nasafalkas1 says : I'd not heard this story before. It's very interesting. I've been looking for short stories for my class to analyse, and I think it will be interesting to use your analysis rather than the original story as one of those stories, both because of your sophisticated way of speaking, and as you mix the original text with modern English. Additionally, it will be interesting to see whether by following your reasoning, they see the same lesson that you do.>> <<@PleaseNThankYou says : Dammit. I think im choking up. I've not heard this story in particular, though Beauty and the Beast is heavy ladyn.>> <<@Uncannysius2023 says : Points worth restating from the video: 1. It wasn’t Gawains love for Ragnell that led to the happy ending, it was his loyalty to his friend and the realm (since Arthur was the king of the realm), reinforced by his sense of honor that led him to act in a gallant way. So not Eros, but self-sacrificial love. 2. Ragnell changed herself, but not out of being a girl boss or for her own sake, but because a virtuous man acted virtuous even when given an out. Like in real life, a virtuous and godly man will generally morph average women into good women. 3. This tale was told in a time and social context of divorce being illegal without papal approval. When you are stuck with someone until death, the game-theory makes sense to be self-sacrificial and virtuous, and it will generally lead the wife into being the same, as women tend to mirror the attitudes and energy of their husband/boyfriend. Moral summary of the story: be a virtuous man, value loyalty and duty above Eros or gluttony/lust, and end no-fault divorce.>> <<@Kurtsg10 says : I actually performed this at a High School Forensics competition back around 1999. It was quite a hit!>> <<@mrlawilliamsukwarmachine4904 says : That’s it! I’ll get meself an ugly bird! And shall verilly wed her.>> <<@RAPEDBYBLACKS says : Beautiful story, thank you so much.>> <<@tararussellnash says : This is one of my favorite stories, I was so delighted to see your reading of it! thank you!>> <<@lordmortos979 says : Thats a good story.>> <<@uppishcub1617 says : You should make a series out of reading Arthurian legends>> <<@uppishcub1617 says : Sometimes I think the people in the past were more like us than we realize. Sir Gawain is being the ultimate bro here, and is rightfully treated as a hero because of it. It's got a would you rather, and its got an "I can fix her". All of this is stuff I see in modern fiction all the time.>> <<@paulsoldner9500 says : The answer to the question is actually "attention". And by that I mean they are eternal narcissists who demand to be catered too, endlessly, by everybody.>> <<@Fudgeyum2122 says : Sargon, please read more of these. These archetypical stories are narrated beautifully through you.>> <<@tetraquark2402 says : Remind me of Shrek and Fiona “By night one way, by day another. This shall be the norm. Until you find true love’s first kiss. And then take love’s true form.”>> <<@typar6431 says : Great story, thanks for posting.>> <<@jerry12314 says : "An ugly wife is a happy home." - Sir Gawain>> <<@WhiteIkiryo-yt2it says : Hang on, so Shrek is somewhat adapted from this story? I didn't see that coming.>> <<@dvkdvkful says : ... 7 years later, she cheats on him because honeymoon phase is over, and he's now boring husband, and as she honestly told Arthur, she like all women lives for fresh attention of a new man.>> <<@Laughing_Chinaman says : 6 foot 6 inches 6 pack 6 castles 6 crowns 6 knights a night>> <<@ratatoskrnuts6354 says : Oh this is reverse shrek>> <<@duckz134 says : This was lovely, Carl. Thank you.>> <<@geohhoeg8630 says : The inverse of margrette mead’s famous quote is true. Men want a woman who can laugh at anyone but won’t laugh at him. Women want a man who can kill anyone but won’t kill her.>> <<@lawsonbrady2586 says : not trying to be gay here but this is a beautiful story, and an amazing philosophical and anecdotal mythology.>> <<@WIGGER_AESTHETIC_031 says : this is my favourite video from you, Carl. I would love more tales that you tell in this format.>> <<@Marinealver says : The King needs a Knight to jump on a HOLY HAND GRENADE!>> <<@dashwhatchamakalit says : Gawain's the dude that'll ride that moped so you can ride the rice burner.>> <<@steveroberts9453 says : I don't fancy yours much.>> <<@MrFro89 says : Nah, I think you're being optimistic about the message. We could also easily interpret that the story says "just let the woman do whatever she wants and then she'll look beautiful to you" or something along those lines. Basically, just let any woman do whatever she wants with you, and then she'll tooootally start behaving herself; or accept her abuse. I don't buy it. The story seems to me like an early feminist tale in which men need to submit to women, more than a story about how a man needs to commit to his wife.>> <<@colinscallanmusic says : Fabulous!>> <<@adamm2091 says : YouTube doing another unsub wave.>> <<@robertashmore1942 says : He lived happily ever after... until Lancelot kills him.>> <<@dulio12385 says : This sounds like the plot of Shrek or Gorlock's personal aspiration 🤣>> <<@alexrogers9086 says : I remember you telling this story a few years ago.>> <<@oogaboogalou4521 says : Captain save-a-ho over here.>> <<@andersonrearickiii6392 says : Chaucer’s Wife of Bath is clearly drawn from this although no notable knights are mentioned. Instead the knight who is guilty of rape is under the judgment of Queen Guinevere and the ladies of the court.>> <<@Lyze says : This is like Shallow Hal.>> <<@nyanreuben says : Interesting story>> <<@evensgrey says : Sir Gwain does a lot of heavy lifting for Camelot. Too bad he's relegated to, at best, second tier status in most modern tellings of the Arthurian Cycle. (Yes, he got a movie once, but that was done in such a way that if you didn't already know he was on eof Arthur's knights, you wouldn't know it from the movie.) And, of course, this is the form of the love story in Shrek, although in Shrek the good ending is Fiona becoming an ogre permanently. But, not only does she rather enjoy being an ogre, her knight is an ogre by birth, which is why 'loves true form' for her is an ogre.>> <<@dav3miga says : Reproducing is literally the only reason why we exist>> <<@jeremyjakob9721 says : So the moral of the story is: "I can fix her"?>> <<@themazemaster1 says : I have shared this with 'half a dozen' clients; very insightful and helpful. x>> <<@mytruepower2 says : What a pretty fairy tale. These days, Gawain would have gotten an "um, I'm not sure. Who don't you decide what we'll do?" Then no matter what he proposed, she'd shoot it down.>> <<@SensaiRyu says : I cannot love this story enough ❤>> <<@silverseraphim666 says : "Give sovereignity to a woman" So bad boomer advice has historical precursor. The only thing that sovereign woman would get you is dead bedroom, infidelity and divorce wringer.>>
