10:56 In this part Stephen talks about admiration and about what he thinks should happen with liking a certain subject or whatnot. He then expresses how the phrase, "I'm not impressed." really brings him down because, as he then says, it's like the people who say that somehow have higher standards than others. As an example, when you try things that are new to you that you like or have just started to find out about (like editing videos for me), you have an admiration for, you know, the people who do those kinds of things and you sort-of say things like, "I want to be like that person sometime in the future," and this sort of sets a hero-like figure in the mindset. Stephen expressed that having a heroic icon (whether it be a person, thing, activity, etc.) is important to humanity because admiration is a naturally-occurring phenomenon. But back to the "I'm not impressed" statement, it really is a vain phrase. I think that everything is complicated, I mean, if you're a novice at something, then the judges will not be impressed (usually) by the work, yet if you are a master, then there's a pressure to create something that will impress other people. And this "everything should be fair" saying doesn't always work out because, like I said previously, not everyone will create something based on their skill level. For example, if I was a novice at something, I have the potential to create something better than a master's, and a master has the potential to create something like a novice's. So in a judgement-type situation where people are judging the work, nothing is ever on an even playing field. It all depends on what that person thinks, and that might as well be a different person because there are now 7 billion people living on Earth. What Stephen said about admiring/yearning to become something is true in that everybody wants to be something else or learn to do something that other people can do. However, this is sort-of contradictory to what he said in the beginning minutes of the video where people should not set goals for themselves because he believes that the only outcomes will be failure or dissatisfaction. I guess what he is trying to say is to learn and be happy with what you have. A lot of what he says about learning is that it is more productive and engaging in groups or having people individually teach you (whether it be a friend or a specific person), than it would be otherwise. And I would have to agree with him, because I learned many of the things that I know by watching other people and having an admiration for what they do, and it was almost like i was learning in a group environment because on the internet, so many people contribute to the ideas as well as jurisdictions of a certain task that one is trying to accomplish.

i think the powtoons thing is cool - that way we wont have to do any editing. Plus, taking video of ourselves would take a while to render out and it wouldnt look as professional. At least in my opinion.
