I am going to talk about myself,
0
0
3000
Govoriću o sebi,
00:15
which I rarely do, because I --
1
3000
3000
što retko radim
00:18
well for one thing, I prefer to talk about things I know nothing about.
2
6000
5000
jer, kao prvo, volim da govorim o stvarima
o kojima ne znam ništa.
o kojima ne znam ništa.
00:23
And secondly, I'm a recovering narcissist.
3
11000
5000
A drugo, ja sam narcis na oporavku.
00:28
(Laughter)
4
16000
2000
(Smeh)
00:30
I didn't know I was a narcissist actually.
5
18000
2000
U stvari, nisam znala da sam narcis.
00:32
I thought narcissism meant you loved yourself.
6
20000
3000
Mislila sam da narcizam znači
da volite sebe.
da volite sebe.
00:35
And then someone told me there is a flip side to it.
7
23000
2000
A onda mi je neko rekao
da postoji i drugi aspekt toga.
da postoji i drugi aspekt toga.
00:37
So it's actually drearier than self-love;
8
25000
2000
On je u stvari depresivniji od
ljubavi prema sebi;
ljubavi prema sebi;
00:39
it's unrequited self-love.
9
27000
3000
to je
neuzvraćena ljubav prema sebi.
neuzvraćena ljubav prema sebi.
00:42
(Laughter)
10
30000
4000
(Smeh)
00:46
I don't feel I can afford a relapse.
11
34000
3000
Osećam da ne smem sebi
da dozvolim recidiv.
da dozvolim recidiv.
00:49
But I want to, though, explain
12
37000
3000
Ali želim da objasnim
00:52
how I came to design my own particular brand of comedy
13
40000
3000
kako sam napravila
svoj lični brend komedije
svoj lični brend komedije
00:55
because I've been through so many different forms of it.
14
43000
2000
jer sam prošla kroz
mnoge njene različite forme.
mnoge njene različite forme.
00:57
I started with improvisation,
15
45000
2000
Počela sam sa improvizacijom
00:59
in a particular form of improvisation called theater games,
16
47000
4000
u posebnoj formi improvizacije,
zvanoj pozorišne igre,
zvanoj pozorišne igre,
01:03
which had one rule,
17
51000
2000
koje imaju jedno pravilo
01:05
which I always thought was a great rule for an ethic for a society.
18
53000
3000
za koje sam oduvek mislila
da je sjajno pravilo za moral društva.
da je sjajno pravilo za moral društva.
01:08
And the rule was, you couldn't deny the other person's reality,
19
56000
4000
Pravilo je bilo da ne možete osporiti
realnost druge osobe
realnost druge osobe
01:12
you could only build on it.
20
60000
2000
već samo nadgrađivati je.
01:14
And of course we live in a society that's all about
21
62000
3000
Naravno, živimo u društvu
koje stalno
koje stalno
01:17
contradicting other peoples' reality.
22
65000
2000
protivreči realnostima drugih ljudi.
01:19
It's all about contradiction,
23
67000
2000
Stalno protivreči,
01:21
which I think is why I'm so sensitive to contradiction in general.
24
69000
3000
što mislim da je razlog zbog čega sam
tako osetljiva na protivrečnost u globalu.
tako osetljiva na protivrečnost u globalu.
01:24
I see it everywhere.
25
72000
2000
Vidim je svuda.
01:26
Like polls. You know, it's always curious to me
26
74000
3000
Kao ankete.
Uvek mi je bilo zanimljivo
Uvek mi je bilo zanimljivo
01:29
that in public opinion polls
27
77000
2000
da u anketama javnog mnjenja
01:31
the percentage of Americans who don't know the answer to any given question
28
79000
4000
procenat Amerikanaca koji ne zna odgovor
ni na jedno pitanje
ni na jedno pitanje
01:35
is always two percent.
29
83000
2000
je uvek dva procenta.
01:37
75 percent of Americans
30
85000
3000
75 procenata Amerikanaca
01:40
think Alaska is part of Canada.
31
88000
2000
misli da je Aljaska deo Kanade.
01:42
But only two percent don't know the effect
32
90000
3000
Ali da samo dva procenta ne zna
koji će efekat
koji će efekat
01:45
that the debacle in Argentina will have on the IMF's monetary policy --
33
93000
5000
imati krah u Argentini
na monetarnu politiku MMF-a -
na monetarnu politiku MMF-a -
01:50
(Laughter)
34
98000
1000
(Smeh)
01:51
seems a contradiction.
35
99000
3000
izgleda kao protivrečnost.
01:54
Or this ad that I read in the New York Times:
36
102000
3000
Ili ovaj oglas koji sam pročitala
u Njujork Tajmsu:
u Njujork Tajmsu:
01:57
"Wearing a fine watch speaks loudly of your rank in society.
37
105000
4000
"To što nosite dobar sat
govori puno o vašem položaju u društvu.
govori puno o vašem položaju u društvu.
02:01
Buying it from us screams good taste."
38
109000
3000
To što ga kupujete od nas
govori još više o dobrom ukusu."
govori još više o dobrom ukusu."
02:04
(Laughter)
39
112000
2000
(Smeh)
02:06
Or this that I found in a magazine called California Lawyer,
40
114000
3000
Ili ovo što sam našla
u časopisu "Kalifornijski advokat"
u časopisu "Kalifornijski advokat"
02:09
in an article that is surely meant for the lawyers at Enron.
41
117000
4000
u članku koji je sigurno namenjen
advokatima Enrona.
advokatima Enrona.
02:13
"Surviving the Slammer: Do's and Don'ts."
42
121000
4000
"Preživeti zatvor:
šta se sme, a šta ne".
šta se sme, a šta ne".
02:17
(Laughter)
43
125000
1000
(Smeh)
02:18
"Don't use big words."
44
126000
2000
"Ne koristite velike reči."
02:20
(Laughter)
45
128000
1000
(Smeh)
02:21
"Learn the lingua franca."
46
129000
3000
"Naučite lingua franca."
02:24
(Laughter)
47
132000
7000
(Smeh)
02:31
Yeah. "Lingua this, Frankie."
48
139000
2000
Da. "Lingua ovo, Frenki."
02:33
(Laughter)
49
141000
3000
(Smeh)
02:36
And I suppose it's a contradiction that I
50
144000
3000
I pretpostavljam
da je protivrečno
da je protivrečno
02:39
talk about science when I don't know math.
51
147000
4000
da ja pričam o nauci
kad ne znam matematiku.
kad ne znam matematiku.
02:43
You know, because -- and by the way to I was so grateful to Dean Kamen
52
151000
3000
Jer, znate - i uzgred,
mnogo sam zahvalna Dinu Kejmenu
mnogo sam zahvalna Dinu Kejmenu
02:46
for pointing out that one of the reasons,
53
154000
2000
koji je istakao
da jedan od razloga,
da jedan od razloga,
02:48
that there are cultural reasons
54
156000
2000
da postoje kulturni razlozi
02:50
that women and minorities don't enter the fields of science and technology --
55
158000
4000
da žene i manjine ne ulaze
u oblasti nauke i tehnologije -
u oblasti nauke i tehnologije -
02:54
because for instance, the reason I don't do math is,
56
162000
3000
jer, na primer, razlog što
ja ne znam matematiku je taj
ja ne znam matematiku je taj
02:57
I was taught to do math and read at the same time.
57
165000
4000
što su me učili da radim
matematiku i čitam u isto vreme.
matematiku i čitam u isto vreme.
03:01
So you're six years old, you're reading Snow White and the Seven Dwarves,
58
169000
3000
I kad imate šest godina
čitate Snežanu i sedam patuljaka
čitate Snežanu i sedam patuljaka
03:04
and it becomes rapidly obvious
59
172000
2000
i brzo postaje očigledno
03:06
that there are only two kinds of men in the world:
60
174000
2000
da postoje samo
dve vrste muškaraca na svetu:
dve vrste muškaraca na svetu:
03:08
dwarves and Prince Charmings.
61
176000
2000
patuljci i prinčevi.
03:10
And the odds are seven to one against your finding the prince.
62
178000
3000
I šanse su sedam prema jedan
u korist toga da nećete naći princa.
u korist toga da nećete naći princa.
03:13
(Laughter)
63
181000
3000
(Smeh)
03:16
That's why little girls don't do math. It's too depressing.
64
184000
3000
Zato devojčice ne znaju matematiku.
Suviše je depresivna.
Suviše je depresivna.
03:19
(Laughter)
65
187000
6000
(Smeh)
03:25
Of course, by talking about science
66
193000
2000
Naravno, govoreći o nauci
03:27
I also may, as I did the other night,
67
195000
2000
mogu takođe, kao što sam uradila
prošle noći,
prošle noći,
03:29
incur the violent wrath of some scientists
68
197000
4000
da navučem na sebe
žestok gnev nekih naučnika
žestok gnev nekih naučnika
03:33
who were very upset with me.
69
201000
3000
koje sam veoma naljutila.
03:36
I used the word postmodern as if it were OK.
70
204000
5000
Upotrebila sam izraz "postmoderan"
kao da je to u redu.
kao da je to u redu.
03:41
And they got very upset.
71
209000
3000
I oni su se vrlo uzbudili.
03:44
One of them, to his credit, I think really just wanted to engage me
72
212000
3000
Jedan od njih je, ja mislim,
samo hteo da me uvuče
samo hteo da me uvuče
03:47
in a serious argument.
73
215000
2000
u ozbiljnu raspravu.
03:49
But I don't engage in serious arguments.
74
217000
3000
Ali ja ne ulazim u ozbiljne rasprave.
03:52
I don't approve of them
75
220000
2000
Ne odobravam ih
03:54
because arguments, of course, are all about contradiction,
76
222000
3000
jer u raspravama se, naravno,
radi o protivrečnostima
radi o protivrečnostima
03:57
and they're shaped by the values that I have questions with.
77
225000
2000
i njih oblikuju vrednosti
koje dovodim u pitanje.
koje dovodim u pitanje.
03:59
I have questions with the values of Newtonian science,
78
227000
4000
Dovodim u pitanje vrednosti
njutnovske nauke,
njutnovske nauke,
04:03
like rationality. You're supposed to be rational in an argument.
79
231000
4000
kao, na primer, racionalnost.
Trebalo bi da budete racionalni u raspravi.
Trebalo bi da budete racionalni u raspravi.
04:07
Well rationality is constructed
80
235000
2000
Racionalnost je sastavljena
04:09
by what Christie Hefner was talking about today,
81
237000
3000
od onoga o čemu je govorila
Kristi Hefner danas,
Kristi Hefner danas,
04:12
that mind-body split, you know?
82
240000
2000
od te podeljenosti telo-um.
04:14
The head is good, body bad.
83
242000
3000
Glava je dobra, telo loše.
04:17
Head is ego, body id.
84
245000
2000
Glava je ego, telo je id.
04:19
When we say "I," -- as when Rene Descartes said,
85
247000
2000
Kad kažemo "ja" -
kao što je rekao Rene Dekart
kao što je rekao Rene Dekart
04:21
"I think therefore I am," --
86
249000
3000
"Mislim, dakle postojim" -
04:24
we mean the head.
87
252000
2000
mislimo na glavu.
04:26
And as David Lee Roth sang in "Just a Gigolo,"
88
254000
3000
I kao što je Dejvid Li Rot pevao
u "Samo žigolo" ("Just a Gigolo"):
u "Samo žigolo" ("Just a Gigolo"):
04:29
"I ain't got no body."
89
257000
3000
"Ja nemam telo".
04:32
That's how you get rationality.
90
260000
4000
Tako dobijate racionalnost.
04:36
And that's why so much of humor
91
264000
2000
Zato je tako mnogo humora
u vezi sa
u vezi sa
04:38
is the body asserting itself against the head.
92
266000
4000
davanjem prednosti telu
u odnosu na glavu.
u odnosu na glavu.
04:42
That's why you have toilet humor and sexual humor.
93
270000
3000
Zato imate klozetski humor
i seksualni humor.
i seksualni humor.
04:45
That's why you have the Raspyni Brothers
94
273000
2000
Zato imate braću Raspini
04:47
whacking Richard in the genital area.
95
275000
4000
koji udaraju Ričarda
u predeo genitalija.
u predeo genitalija.
04:51
And we're laughing doubly then
96
279000
2000
I onda se duplo smejemo
04:53
because he's the body, but it's also --
97
281000
3000
jer on je telo, ali je takođe -
04:56
Voice offstage: Richard.
98
284000
1000
Glas izvan bine: Ričard.
04:57
Emily Levine: Richard. What did I say?
99
285000
2000
Emili Levin: Ričard. Šta sam rekla?
04:59
(Laughter)
100
287000
1000
(Smeh)
05:00
Richard. Yes but it's also the head,
101
288000
2000
Ričard. Da, ali je takođe i glava,
05:02
the head of the conference.
102
290000
3000
glava konferencije.
05:05
That's the other way that humor --
103
293000
2000
To je drugi način na koji humor -
05:07
like Art Buchwald takes shots at the heads of state.
104
295000
4000
kao što Art Buhvald
gađa šefa države.
gađa šefa države.
05:11
It doesn't make quite as much money as body humor I'm sure --
105
299000
3000
To ne zarađuje, sigurna sam,
toliko para kao telesni humor -
toliko para kao telesni humor -
05:14
(Laughter)
106
302000
2000
(Smeh)
05:16
but nevertheless, what makes us treasure you and adore you.
107
304000
3000
ali ipak čini
da vas čuvamo i obožavamo.
da vas čuvamo i obožavamo.
05:19
There's also a contradiction in rationality in this country though,
108
307000
4000
Takođe postoji protivrečnost u racionalnosti
u ovoj zemlji, a to je
u ovoj zemlji, a to je
05:23
which is, as much as we revere the head,
109
311000
3000
da bez obzira što
toliko cenimo glavu,
toliko cenimo glavu,
05:26
we are very anti-intellectual.
110
314000
2000
vrlo smo antiintelektualni.
05:28
I know this because I read in the New York Times,
111
316000
4000
Ovo znam
jer sam čitala u Njujork Tajmsu,
jer sam čitala u Njujork Tajmsu,
05:32
the Ayn Rand foundation took out a full-page ad
112
320000
3000
Fondacija Ajn Rend
je imala oglas preko cele strane
je imala oglas preko cele strane
05:35
after September 11,
113
323000
2000
posle 11. septembra
05:37
in which they said, "The problem is not Iraq or Iran,
114
325000
4000
u kojem je stajalo:
"Problem nisu Irak ili Iran,
"Problem nisu Irak ili Iran,
05:41
the problem in this country, facing this country
115
329000
4000
problem sa kojim se suočava ova zemlja,
05:45
is the university professors and their spawn."
116
333000
3000
su univerzitetski profesori
i njihovo potomstvo."
i njihovo potomstvo."
05:48
(Laughter)
117
336000
8000
(Smeh)
05:56
So I went back and re-read "The Fountainhead."
118
344000
2000
Pa sam se onda vratila
i pročitala: "Fontana"
i pročitala: "Fontana"
05:58
(Laughter)
119
346000
2000
(Smeh)
06:00
I don't know how many of you have read it.
120
348000
2000
Ne znam koliko vas
ju je pročitalo.
ju je pročitalo.
06:02
And I'm not an expert on sadomasochism.
121
350000
4000
Ja nisam stručnjak
za sado-mazohizam.
za sado-mazohizam.
06:06
(Laughter)
122
354000
1000
(Smeh)
06:07
But let me just read you a couple of random passages from page 217.
123
355000
5000
Ali da vam pročitam
par nasumičnih pasusa sa strane 217.
par nasumičnih pasusa sa strane 217.
06:12
"The act of a master
124
360000
2000
"Čin gospodara
06:14
taking painful contemptuous possession of her,
125
362000
3000
koji ju je bolno prezrivo uzeo,
06:17
was the kind of rapture she wanted.
126
365000
2000
bio je ona vrsta ekstaze
koju je želela.
koju je želela.
06:19
When they lay together in bed it was,
127
367000
3000
Dok su zajedno ležali u krevetu
bio je to,
bio je to,
06:22
as it had to be, as the nature of the act demanded,
128
370000
3000
kao što je morao biti,
kao što je priroda čina zahtevala,
kao što je priroda čina zahtevala,
06:25
an act of violence.
129
373000
3000
čin nasilja.
06:28
It was an act of clenched teeth and hatred. It was the unendurable.
130
376000
4000
Bio je to čin stegnutih zuba i mržnje.
Bilo je nepodnošljivo.
Bilo je nepodnošljivo.
06:32
Not a caress, but a wave of pain.
131
380000
3000
Ne milovanje,
već talas bola.
već talas bola.
06:35
The agony as an act of passion."
132
383000
3000
Agonija kao čin strasti."
06:38
So you can imagine my surprise
133
386000
2000
Tako da možete zamisliti
moje iznenađenje
moje iznenađenje
06:40
on reading in The New Yorker
134
388000
3000
kad sam pročitala u Njujorkeru
06:43
that Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve,
135
391000
3000
da Alan Grinspen,
predsednik Federalnih rezervi,
predsednik Federalnih rezervi,
06:46
claims Ayn Rand as his intellectual mentor.
136
394000
3000
tvrdi da mu je Ajn Rend
intelektualni mentor.
intelektualni mentor.
06:49
(Laughter)
137
397000
3000
(Smeh)
06:52
It's like finding out your nanny is a dominatrix.
138
400000
3000
To je kao da otkrijete
da je vaša dadilja domina.
da je vaša dadilja domina.
06:55
(Laughter)
139
403000
2000
(Smeh)
06:57
Bad enough we had to see J. Edgar Hoover in a dress.
140
405000
4000
Nije dovoljno što smo morali
da vidimo Džej Edgara Huvera u haljini.
da vidimo Džej Edgara Huvera u haljini.
07:01
Now we have to picture Alan Greenspan
141
409000
2000
Sad moramo da zamišljamo
Alana Grinspena
Alana Grinspena
07:03
in a black leather corset, with a butt tattoo that says,
142
411000
2000
u crnom kožnom korsetu,
sa tetovažom na zadnjici koja kaže:
sa tetovažom na zadnjici koja kaže:
07:05
"Whip inflation now."
143
413000
2000
"Smanjite inflaciju odmah."
07:07
(Laughter)
144
415000
8000
(Smeh)
07:15
And Ayn Rand of course, Ayn Rand
145
423000
2000
A Ajn Rend je naravno,
07:17
is famous for a philosophy called Objectivism,
146
425000
2000
poznata po filozofiji
zvanoj objektivizam,
zvanoj objektivizam,
07:19
which reflects another value of Newtonian physics,
147
427000
3000
koja prikazuje drugu vrednost
njutnovske fizike,
njutnovske fizike,
07:22
which is objectivity.
148
430000
2000
a to je objektivnost.
07:24
Objectivity basically is constructed
149
432000
3000
Objektivnost je u suštini izgrađena
07:27
in that same S&M way.
150
435000
3000
na isti taj sado-mazo način.
07:30
It's the subject subjugating the object.
151
438000
3000
Subjekat se potčinjava objektu.
07:33
That's how you assert yourself.
152
441000
2000
Tako se potvrđujete.
07:35
You make yourself the active voice.
153
443000
2000
Činite od sebe aktivni glas.
07:37
And the object is the passive no-voice.
154
445000
3000
A objekat je pasivni ne-glas.
07:40
I was so fascinated by that Oxygen commercial.
155
448000
3000
Bila sam fascinirana
reklamom za Oksidžen.
reklamom za Oksidžen.
07:43
I don't know if you know this but --
156
451000
4000
Ne znam da li znate ovo ali -
07:47
maybe it's different now, or maybe you were making a statement --
157
455000
3000
možda je sada drugačije
ili je to možda bila izjava -
ili je to možda bila izjava -
07:50
but in many hospital nurseries across the country,
158
458000
3000
ali u mnogim porodilištima
širom zemlje
širom zemlje
07:53
until very recently anyway, according to a book by Jessica Benjamin,
159
461000
4000
sve donedavno,
po knjizi Džesike Bendžamin,
po knjizi Džesike Bendžamin,
07:57
the signs over the little boys cribs read,
160
465000
3000
na tablama iznad krevetaca dečaka
je pisalo:
je pisalo:
08:00
"I'm a boy,"
161
468000
2000
"Ja sam dečak",
08:02
and the signs over the little girls cribs read,
162
470000
2000
a iznad krevetaca devojčica
je pisalo:
je pisalo:
08:04
"It's a girl." Yeah.
163
472000
3000
"To je devojčica."
Da.
Da.
08:07
So the passivity was culturally
164
475000
4000
Tako je pasivnost kulturno
08:11
projected onto the little girls.
165
479000
2000
projektovana na devojčice.
08:13
And this still goes on as I think I told you last year.
166
481000
3000
I ovo je i dalje tako,
kao što sam vam rekla, mislim prošle godine.
kao što sam vam rekla, mislim prošle godine.
08:16
There's a poll that proves --
167
484000
2000
Postoji anketa koja pokazuje -
08:18
there was a poll that was given by Time magazine,
168
486000
4000
anketa koju je dao časopis Tajm,
08:22
in which only men were asked, "Have you ever had sex
169
490000
3000
u kojoj su pitali samo muškarce:
"Jeste li ikada imali seks
"Jeste li ikada imali seks
08:25
with a woman you actively disliked?"
170
493000
4000
sa ženom prema kojoj ste
ispoljavali otvorenu netrpeljivost?"
ispoljavali otvorenu netrpeljivost?"
08:29
And well, yeah.
171
497000
2000
i, da.
08:31
Well, 58 percent said yes,
172
499000
2000
58 procenata je reklo
da jeste,
da jeste,
08:33
which I think is overinflated though
173
501000
2000
što mislim da je prenaduvano
08:35
because so many men if you just say,
174
503000
2000
jer toliko muškaraca,
ako samo pitate:
ako samo pitate:
08:37
"Have you ever had sex ... " "Yes!"
175
505000
2000
"Jeste li imali seks..."
"Da!"
"Da!"
08:39
They don't even wait for the rest of it.
176
507000
2000
Ne sačekaju čak
ni ostatak pitanja.
ni ostatak pitanja.
08:41
(Laughter)
177
509000
3000
(Smeh)
08:44
And of course two percent did not know whether they'd had --
178
512000
3000
I naravno, dva procenta nije znalo
da li su imali -
da li su imali -
08:47
(Laughter)
179
515000
3000
(Smeh)
08:50
That's the first callback,
180
518000
2000
To je prva
08:52
of my attempted quadruple.
181
520000
2000
od četiri šale u pokušaju.
08:54
(Laughter)
182
522000
3000
(Smeh)
08:57
So this subject-object thing,
183
525000
3000
Ovaj odnos subjekat-objekat
09:00
is part of something I'm very interested in
184
528000
3000
je deo nečega
što me veoma zanima
što me veoma zanima
09:03
because this is why, frankly, I believe in political correctness.
185
531000
6000
jer ovo je ono zbog čega
verujem u političku korektnost.
verujem u političku korektnost.
09:09
I do. I think it can go too far.
186
537000
2000
Verujem. Mislim da mogu
da odem tako daleko.
da odem tako daleko.
09:11
I think Ringling Brothers may have gone too far
187
539000
3000
Mislim da su braća Ringling
možda preterali
možda preterali
09:14
with an ad they took out in the New York Times Magazine.
188
542000
2000
sa oglasom
koji su dali u Njujork Tajmsu.
koji su dali u Njujork Tajmsu.
09:16
"We have a lifelong emotional and financial
189
544000
3000
"Imamo doživotnu
emocionalnu i finansijsku
emocionalnu i finansijsku
09:19
commitment to our Asian Elephant partners."
190
547000
4000
obavezu prema našim partnerima
azijskim slonovima."
azijskim slonovima."
09:23
(Laughter)
191
551000
2000
(Smeh)
09:25
Maybe too far. But you know --
192
553000
2000
Možda preterano. Ali znate -
09:27
I don't think that
193
555000
5000
ne mislim da je isto
09:32
a person of color making fun of white people
194
560000
2000
kada obojena osoba
ismeva belce
ismeva belce
09:34
is the same thing as a white person making fun of people of color.
195
562000
3000
i kada belac ismeva obojene.
09:37
Or women making fun of men is the same as men making fun of women.
196
565000
4000
Ili da je isto kad žene ismevaju muškarce
i kad muškarci ismevaju žene.
i kad muškarci ismevaju žene.
09:41
Or poor people making fun of rich people, the same as rich people.
197
569000
2000
Ili siromašni koji ismevaju bogate,
isto kao bogati...
isto kao bogati...
09:43
I think you can make fun of the have but not the have-nots,
198
571000
3000
Mislim da možete ismevati ono što se ima
ali ne ono što se nema
ali ne ono što se nema
09:46
which is why you don't see me making fun of
199
574000
3000
i zbog toga ne vidite mene
da ismevam
da ismevam
09:49
Kenneth Lay and his charming wife.
200
577000
3000
Keneta Leja
i njegovu simpatičnu ženu.
i njegovu simpatičnu ženu.
09:52
(Laughter)
201
580000
1000
(Smeh)
09:53
What's funny about being down to four houses?
202
581000
3000
Šta je smešno u tome
da budete srozani na četiri kuće?
da budete srozani na četiri kuće?
09:56
(Laughter)
203
584000
2000
(Smeh)
09:58
And I really learned this lesson
204
586000
3000
A stvarno sam naučila
ovu lekciju
ovu lekciju
10:01
during the sex scandals of the Clinton administration or,
205
589000
4000
tokom seks skandala
Klintonove administracije
Klintonove administracije
10:05
Or as I call them, the good ol' days.
206
593000
2000
ili kako ih ja zovem,
dobrih starih dana.
dobrih starih dana.
10:07
(Laughter)
207
595000
3000
(Smeh)
10:10
When people I knew, you know, people who considered themselves liberal,
208
598000
3000
Kada su ljudi koje znam,
ljudi koji smatraju sebe liberalnim
ljudi koji smatraju sebe liberalnim
10:13
and everything else,
209
601000
3000
i sve ostalo,
10:16
were making fun of Jennifer Flowers and Paula Jones.
210
604000
3000
pravili šale na račun
Dženifer Flauers i Pole Džons.
Dženifer Flauers i Pole Džons.
10:19
Basically, they were making fun of them for being
211
607000
4000
U suštini, ismevali su ih
zbog toga što su
zbog toga što su
10:23
trailer trash or white trash.
212
611000
3000
belci seljaci
ili odrpanci.
ili odrpanci.
10:26
It seems, I suppose, a harmless prejudice
213
614000
3000
Pretpostavljam da to izgleda
kao bezazlena predrasuda
kao bezazlena predrasuda
10:29
and that you're not really hurting anybody.
214
617000
2000
i da nikoga stvarno
ne povređujete.
ne povređujete.
10:31
Until you read, as I did, an ad in the Los Angeles Times.
215
619000
5000
Dok ne pročitate, kao što sam ja učinila,
oglas u Los Anđeles Tajmsu.
oglas u Los Anđeles Tajmsu.
10:36
"For sale: White trash compactor."
216
624000
4000
"Na prodaju
sabijač belog đubreta."
sabijač belog đubreta."
10:40
(Laughter)
217
628000
8000
(Smeh)
10:48
So this whole subject-object thing
218
636000
3000
Tako da cela ova stvar
subjekat-objekat
subjekat-objekat
10:51
has relevance to humor in this way.
219
639000
4000
ima značaj za humor
na ovaj način.
na ovaj način.
10:55
I read a book by a woman named Amy Richlin,
220
643000
4000
Pročitala sam knjigu
žene koja se zove Ejmi Ričlin,
žene koja se zove Ejmi Ričlin,
10:59
who is the chair of the Classics department at USC.
221
647000
3000
koja je šef katedre za klasiku
na Univerzitetu južne Kalifornije.
na Univerzitetu južne Kalifornije.
11:02
And the book is called "The Garden of Priapus."
222
650000
2000
A knjiga se zove
"Prijapov vrt".
"Prijapov vrt".
11:04
And she says that Roman humor
223
652000
4000
Ona kaže
da se humor starog Rima
da se humor starog Rima
11:08
mirrors the construction of Roman society.
224
656000
4000
ogleda u gradnji rimskog društva.
11:12
So that Roman society was very top/bottom,
225
660000
3000
Tako da je rimsko društvo
bilo vrlo "odozgo nadole"
bilo vrlo "odozgo nadole"
11:15
as ours is to some degree.
226
663000
2000
kao i naše
u nekoj meri.
u nekoj meri.
11:17
And so was humor.
227
665000
2000
I takav je bio humor.
11:19
There always had to be the butt of a joke.
228
667000
2000
Uvek je morala da postoji
zadnjica šale.
zadnjica šale.
11:21
So it was always the satirist,
229
669000
3000
Uvek je tu bio satiričar,
11:24
like Juvenal or Martial,
230
672000
3000
kao Juvenal ili Marcijal,
11:27
represented the audience,
231
675000
3000
koji je predstavljao publiku
11:30
and he was going to make fun of the outsider,
232
678000
3000
i on je trebalo da ismeva
onoga ko je izvan,
onoga ko je izvan,
11:33
the person who didn't share that subject status.
233
681000
4000
osobu koja nije delila
isti status subjekta.
isti status subjekta.
11:37
And in stand-up of course,
234
685000
3000
I u stend apu,
naravno,
naravno,
11:40
the stand-up comedian is supposed to dominate the audience.
235
688000
4000
stend ap komičar treba
da dominira publikom.
da dominira publikom.
11:44
A lot of heckling is the tension
236
692000
3000
Puno agresivnog izazivanja
stvara napetost
stvara napetost
11:47
of trying to make sure that the
237
695000
3000
u pokušaju da se vidi
11:50
comedian is going to be able to dominate,
238
698000
3000
da li će komičar biti sposoban
da dominira
da dominira
11:53
and overcome the heckler.
239
701000
4000
i porazi izazivača.
11:57
And I got good at that when I was in stand up.
240
705000
2000
Bila sam dobra u tome
kad sam radila stend ap.
kad sam radila stend ap.
11:59
But I always hated it because they were
241
707000
2000
Ali uvek sam to mrzela,
jer su oni
jer su oni
12:01
dictating the terms of the interaction,
242
709000
3000
diktirali uslove interakcije,
12:04
in the same way that engaging in a serious argument
243
712000
3000
isto onako kao kad
ulaženje u ozbiljnu raspravu
ulaženje u ozbiljnu raspravu
12:07
determines the content, to some degree,
244
715000
3000
određuje sadržaj
do nekog stepena,
do nekog stepena,
12:10
of what you're talking about.
245
718000
2000
onoga o čemu govorite.
12:12
And I was looking for a form
246
720000
3000
A ja sam tražila formu
12:15
that didn't have that.
247
723000
2000
u kojoj toga nema.
12:17
And so I wanted something that was more interactive.
248
725000
7000
Želela sam nešto
što je interaktivnije.
što je interaktivnije.
12:24
I know that word is so debased now
249
732000
4000
Znam da je ta reč sada srozana
12:28
by the use of it by Internet marketers.
250
736000
4000
upotrebom od strane
internet trgovaca.
internet trgovaca.
12:32
I really miss the old telemarketers now, I'll tell you that.
251
740000
4000
Stvarno mi nedostaju stari
prodavci preko telefona.
prodavci preko telefona.
12:36
(Laughter)
252
744000
1000
(Smeh)
12:37
I do, because at least there you stood a chance. You know?
253
745000
2000
Da, jer tamo ste barem
imali neke šanse. Znate?
imali neke šanse. Znate?
12:39
I used to actually hang up on them.
254
747000
4000
Ja sam im obično
spuštala slušalicu.
spuštala slušalicu.
12:43
But then I read in "Dear Abby" that that was rude.
255
751000
2000
Ali onda sam pročitala u kolumni
"Draga Ebi" da je to nepristojno.
"Draga Ebi" da je to nepristojno.
12:45
So the next time that one called
256
753000
3000
Tako da sledeći put
kad je jedan pozvao
kad je jedan pozvao
12:48
I let him get halfway through his spiel and then I said,
257
756000
2000
pustila sam ga da dođe
do pola svoje priče i rekla:
do pola svoje priče i rekla:
12:50
"You sound sexy."
258
758000
2000
"Zvučiš seksi".
12:52
(Laughter)
259
760000
4000
(Smeh)
12:56
He hung up on me!
260
764000
2000
On je spustio slušalicu meni!
12:58
(Laughter)
261
766000
8000
(Smeh)
13:06
But the interactivity allows the audience
262
774000
3000
Ali interaktivnost
omogućava publici
omogućava publici
13:09
to shape what you're going to do as much as
263
777000
3000
da oblikuje ono što ćete vi uraditi
isto onoliko
isto onoliko
13:12
you shape their experience of the world.
264
780000
4000
koliko vi oblikujete
njihov doživljaj sveta.
njihov doživljaj sveta.
13:16
And that's really what I'm looking for.
265
784000
2000
I to je zapravo ono što tražim.
13:18
And I was sort of, as I was starting to analyze
266
786000
3000
Kako sam počela da analiziram
13:21
what exactly it is that I do,
267
789000
2000
šta je tačno ono što radim,
13:23
I read a book called "Trickster Makes This World," by Lewis Hyde.
268
791000
5000
pročitala sam knjigu
"Prevarant stvara ovaj svet" od Luisa Hajda.
"Prevarant stvara ovaj svet" od Luisa Hajda.
13:28
And it was like being psychoanalyzed.
269
796000
2000
I kao da sam bila na psihoanalizi.
13:30
I mean he had laid it all out.
270
798000
2000
Sve je izložio.
13:32
And then coming to this conference,
271
800000
2000
I onda,
dolazeći na ovu konferenciju,
dolazeći na ovu konferenciju,
13:34
I realized that most everybody here
272
802000
3000
shvatila sam
da uglavnom svi ovde
da uglavnom svi ovde
13:37
shared those same qualities
273
805000
2000
imaju ove iste kvalitete
13:39
because really what trickster is
274
807000
2000
jer prevarant je zapravo
13:41
is an agent of change.
275
809000
2000
agent promene.
13:43
Trickster is a change agent.
276
811000
2000
Prevarant je agent promene.
13:45
And the qualities that I'm about to describe
277
813000
2000
I kvaliteti koje ću sada opisati
13:47
are the qualities that make it possible
278
815000
3000
su kvaliteti koji omogućavaju
13:50
to make change happen.
279
818000
2000
da se desi promena.
13:52
And one of these is boundary crossing.
280
820000
4000
Jedan od njih je
prelaženje granice.
prelaženje granice.
13:56
I think this is what so, in fact, infuriated the scientists.
281
824000
3000
Mislim da je ovo to
što je tako razbesnelo naučnike.
što je tako razbesnelo naučnike.
13:59
But I like to cross boundaries.
282
827000
2000
Ali ja volim da prelazim granice.
14:01
I like to, as I said, talk about things I know nothing about.
283
829000
3000
Volim, kao što sam rekla, da govorim
o stvarima o kojima ne znam ništa.
o stvarima o kojima ne znam ništa.
14:05
(Phone Ringing)
284
833000
2000
(Telefon zvoni)
14:07
I hope that's my agent,
285
835000
3000
Nadam se da je to moj agent
14:10
because you aren't paying me anything.
286
838000
2000
jer me vi ne plaćate ništa.
14:12
(Laughter)
287
840000
2000
(Smeh)
14:14
And I think it's good to talk about things I know nothing about
288
842000
3000
I mislim da je dobro da pričam
o stvarima o kojima ne znam ništa
o stvarima o kojima ne znam ništa
14:17
because I bring a fresh viewpoint to it, you know?
289
845000
2000
jer donosim novu
tačku gledišta na to, zar ne?
tačku gledišta na to, zar ne?
14:19
I'm able to see the contradiction
290
847000
2000
Mogu da vidim kontradikciju
14:21
that you may not be able to see.
291
849000
2000
koju vi možda ne možete.
14:23
Like for instance a mime once --
292
851000
2000
Kao na primer
pantomimičar jednom -
pantomimičar jednom -
14:25
or a meme as he called himself.
293
853000
2000
ili mim, kako je nazivao sebe.
14:27
He was a very selfish meme.
294
855000
4000
Bio je vrlo egocentričan mim.
14:31
And he said that I had to show more respect
295
859000
4000
Rekao je da treba
da pokažem više poštovanja
da pokažem više poštovanja
14:35
because it took up to 18 years
296
863000
2000
jer mu je trebalo 18 godina
14:37
to learn how to do mime properly.
297
865000
3000
da nauči kako da radi pantomimu
pravilno.
pravilno.
14:40
And I said, "Well, that's how you know only stupid people go into it."
298
868000
4000
A ja sam rekla: "Pa, tako znate
da se samo glupi bave time."
da se samo glupi bave time."
14:44
(Laughter)
299
872000
1000
(Smeh)
14:45
It only takes two years to learn how to talk.
300
873000
3000
Potrebno je samo dve godine
da se nauči da se govori.
da se nauči da se govori.
14:48
(Laughter)
301
876000
4000
(Smeh)
14:52
(Applause)
302
880000
2000
(Aplauz)
14:54
And you know people, this is the problem with
303
882000
3000
I znate ljudi -
ovo je problem
ovo je problem
14:57
quote, objectivity, unquote.
304
885000
2000
sa "objektivnošću".
14:59
When you're only surrounded by people
305
887000
2000
Kad ste samo okruženi
ljudima
ljudima
15:01
who speak the same vocabulary as you,
306
889000
2000
koji govore istim rečnikom
kao vi
kao vi
15:03
or share the same set of assumptions as you,
307
891000
3000
ili dele iste pretpostavke
sa vama,
sa vama,
15:06
you start to think that that's reality.
308
894000
3000
počinjete da mislite
da je to realnost.
da je to realnost.
15:09
Like economists, you know, their definition of rational,
309
897000
3000
Kao ekonomisti, na primer,
njihova definicija racionalnog je
njihova definicija racionalnog je
15:12
that we all act out of our own economic self-interest.
310
900000
4000
da svi radimo u skladu
sa svojim ekonomskim samointeresom.
sa svojim ekonomskim samointeresom.
15:16
Well, look at Michael Hawley,
311
904000
2000
Pa pogledajte Majkla Houlija
15:18
or look at Dean Kamen,
312
906000
2000
ili Dina Kejmena
15:20
or look at my grandmother.
313
908000
2000
ili moju babu.
15:22
My grandmother always acted in other people's interests,
314
910000
3000
Moja baba je uvek radila
u korist drugih ljudi
u korist drugih ljudi
15:25
whether they wanted her to or not.
315
913000
2000
bilo da su oni to hteli
ili ne.
ili ne.
15:27
(Laughter)
316
915000
2000
(Smeh)
15:29
If they had had an Olympics in martyrdom,
317
917000
3000
Da su imali olimpijadu
u mučeništvu
u mučeništvu
15:32
my grandmother would have lost on purpose.
318
920000
2000
moja baba bi namerno izgubila.
15:34
(Laughter)
319
922000
7000
(Smeh)
15:41
"No, you take the prize.
320
929000
2000
"Ne, vi uzmite nagradu.
15:43
You're young. I'm old. Who's going to see it?
321
931000
2000
Vi ste mladi. Ja sam stara.
Ko će da je vidi?
Ko će da je vidi?
15:45
Where am I going? I'm going to die soon."
322
933000
2000
Gde ja idem?
Umreću uskoro."
Umreću uskoro."
15:47
(Laughter)
323
935000
3000
(Smeh)
15:50
So that's one -- this boundary crossing,
324
938000
3000
Tako da je to -
ovo prelaženje granice,
ovo prelaženje granice,
15:53
this go-between which --
325
941000
2000
ovaj posrednik koji -
15:55
Fritz Lanting, is that his name,
326
943000
2000
Fric Lenting,
je l' se tako zove,
je l' se tako zove,
15:57
actually said that he was a go-between.
327
945000
2000
je u stvari rekao
da je bio posrednik.
da je bio posrednik.
15:59
That's an actual quality of the trickster.
328
947000
2000
To je prava osobina
prevaranta.
prevaranta.
16:01
And another is, non-oppositional strategies.
329
949000
4000
A druga je:
neopozicione strategije
neopozicione strategije
16:05
And this is instead of contradiction.
330
953000
3000
I ovo je umesto kontradikcije.
16:08
Where you deny the other person's reality,
331
956000
3000
Kad osporavate
realnost druge osobe
realnost druge osobe
16:11
you have paradox
332
959000
2000
imate paradoks
16:13
where you allow more than one reality to coexist,
333
961000
3000
gde dozvoljavate da postoji
više od jedne realnosti,
više od jedne realnosti,
16:16
I think there's another philosophical construction.
334
964000
4000
mislim da postoji
još jedna filozofska konstrukcija.
još jedna filozofska konstrukcija.
16:20
I'm not sure what it's called.
335
968000
3000
Nisam sigurna kako se zove.
16:23
But my example of it is a sign that I saw in a jewelry store.
336
971000
3000
Ali moj primer za to je natpis
koji sam videla u juvelirnici.
koji sam videla u juvelirnici.
16:26
It said, "Ears pierced while you wait."
337
974000
4000
Pisalo je:
"Uši izbušene dok čekate."
"Uši izbušene dok čekate."
16:30
(Laughter)
338
978000
4000
(Smeh)
16:34
There the alternative just boggles the imagination.
339
982000
3000
Tu alternativa
prosto izmiče mašti.
prosto izmiče mašti.
16:37
(Laughter)
340
985000
2000
(Smeh)
16:39
"Oh no. Thanks though, I'll leave them here. Thanks very much.
341
987000
3000
"Ne. Hvala, ostaviću ih ovde.
Hvala puno.
Hvala puno.
16:42
I have some errands to run. So I'll be back to pick them up
342
990000
3000
Imam neke poslove da završim.
Vratiću se da ih pokupim
Vratiću se da ih pokupim
16:45
around five, if that's OK with you.
343
993000
3000
oko pet,
ako vam to odgovara.
ako vam to odgovara.
16:48
Huh? Huh? What? Can't hear you."
344
996000
2000
A? A? Šta?
Ne čujem vas."
Ne čujem vas."
16:50
(Laughter)
345
998000
6000
(Smeh)
16:56
And another attribute of the trickster
346
1004000
2000
I još jedna osobina
prevaranta je
prevaranta je
16:58
is smart luck.
347
1006000
3000
pametna sreća.
17:01
That accidents, that Louis Kahn, who talked about accidents,
348
1009000
4000
Te nezgode, o kojima je
Luis Kan govorio,
Luis Kan govorio,
17:05
this is another quality of the trickster.
349
1013000
2000
to je još jedna osobina
prevaranta.
prevaranta.
17:07
The trickster has a mind that is prepared for the unprepared.
350
1015000
5000
Prevarant ima um koji je pripremljen
na nepripremljeno.
na nepripremljeno.
17:12
That, and I will say this to the scientists,
351
1020000
4000
To i, reći ču ovo naučnicima,
17:16
that the trickster has the ability to hold
352
1024000
4000
to da prevarant ima
sposobnost
sposobnost
17:20
his ideas lightly
353
1028000
2000
da ima površne ideje
17:22
so that he can let room in for new ideas
354
1030000
4000
tako da može
da ostavi mesta za nove
da ostavi mesta za nove
17:26
or to see the contradictions or the hidden problems
355
1034000
3000
ili da vidi kontradikcije
ili skrivene probleme
ili skrivene probleme
17:29
with his ideas.
356
1037000
2000
u svojim idejama.
17:31
I had no joke for that.
357
1039000
2000
Nemam vic za to.
17:33
I just wanted to put the scientists in their place.
358
1041000
3000
Samo sam htela
da stavim naučnike na svoje mesto.
da stavim naučnike na svoje mesto.
17:36
(Laughter)
359
1044000
5000
(Smeh)
17:41
But here's how I think I like to make change,
360
1049000
4000
Evo kako ja volim
da pravim promene
da pravim promene
17:45
and that is in making connections.
361
1053000
2000
i to je pravljenjem veza.
17:47
This is what I tend to see
362
1055000
2000
Ovo je nešto što
obično vidim
obično vidim
17:49
almost more than contradictions.
363
1057000
2000
skoro i više nego
kontradikcije.
kontradikcije.
17:51
Like the, what do you call those toes of the gecko?
364
1059000
4000
Kao, kako zovete
one prste gekoa?
one prste gekoa?
17:55
You know, the toes of the gecko,
365
1063000
2000
Znate, prsti gekoa,
17:57
curling and uncurling like the fingers of Michael Moschen.
366
1065000
4000
uvijaju se i odvijaju
kao prsti Majkla Mošena.
kao prsti Majkla Mošena.
18:01
I love connections.
367
1069000
2000
Volim povezivanja.
18:03
Like I'll read that one of the two attributes
368
1071000
2000
Kao što ću pročitati
da je jedna od dve osobine
da je jedna od dve osobine
18:05
of matter in the Newtonian universe --
369
1073000
3000
materije u njutnovskom univerzumu -
18:08
there are two attributes of matter in the Newtonian universe --
370
1076000
3000
postoje dve osobine materije
u njutnovskom univerzumu -
u njutnovskom univerzumu -
18:11
one is space occupancy. Matter takes up space.
371
1079000
3000
jedna je zauzimanje prostora.
Materija zauzima prostor.
Materija zauzima prostor.
18:14
I guess the more you matter the more space you take up,
372
1082000
3000
Pretpostavljam da što ste više
materijalni, to više prostora zauzimate,
materijalni, to više prostora zauzimate,
18:17
which explains the whole SUV phenomenon.
373
1085000
2000
što objašnjava ceo fenomen
velikih luksuznih terenaca.
velikih luksuznih terenaca.
18:19
(Laughter)
374
1087000
3000
(Smeh)
18:22
And the other one though is impenetrability.
375
1090000
3000
A druga je neprobojnost.
18:25
Well, in ancient Rome, impenetrability
376
1093000
3000
U starom Rimu
neprobojnost
neprobojnost
18:28
was the criterion of masculinity.
377
1096000
3000
je bilo merilo muškosti.
18:31
Masculinity depended on you
378
1099000
2000
Muškost je zavisila od toga
18:33
being the active penetrator.
379
1101000
3000
da li ste aktivni probijač
ili ne.
ili ne.
18:36
And then, in economics, there's an active producer
380
1104000
4000
I onda, u ekonomiji postoji
aktivni proizvođač
aktivni proizvođač
18:40
and a passive consumer,
381
1108000
2000
i pasivni konzument
18:42
which explains why business always has to
382
1110000
2000
što objašnjava zašto
biznis uvek mora da
biznis uvek mora da
18:44
penetrate new markets.
383
1112000
3000
probija nova tržišta.
18:47
Well yeah, I mean why we forced China
384
1115000
2000
Mislim, zašto smo
naterali Kinu
naterali Kinu
18:49
to open her markets.
385
1117000
3000
da otvori svoja tržišta.
18:52
And didn't that feel good?
386
1120000
2000
Zar nije to bio dobar osećaj?
18:54
(Laughter)
387
1122000
3000
(Smeh)
18:57
And now we're being penetrated.
388
1125000
2000
I sad probijaju nas.
18:59
You know the biotech companies are actually going inside us
389
1127000
3000
Biotehnološke kompanije
stvarno ulaze u nas
stvarno ulaze u nas
19:02
and planting their little flags on our genes.
390
1130000
3000
i usađuju svoje male oznake
u naše gene.
u naše gene.
19:05
You know we're being penetrated.
391
1133000
2000
Znate da nas probijaju.
19:07
And I suspect, by someone who actively dislikes us.
392
1135000
3000
I sumnjam da je to neko
ko nas otvoreno ne voli.
ko nas otvoreno ne voli.
19:10
(Laughter)
393
1138000
4000
(Smeh)
19:14
That's the second of the quadruple.
394
1142000
3000
To je druga od četiri šale.
19:17
Yes of course you got that. Thank you very much.
395
1145000
2000
Naravno da ste shvatili.
Hvala vam puno.
Hvala vam puno.
19:19
I still have a way to go.
396
1147000
2000
Još mi je ostalo.
19:21
(Laughter)
397
1149000
4000
(Smeh)
19:25
And what I hope to do, when I make these connections,
398
1153000
3000
I ono čemu se nadam
kad pravim ove veze je
kad pravim ove veze je
19:28
is short circuit people's thinking.
399
1156000
4000
da napravim kratak spoj
u razmišljanju ljudi.
u razmišljanju ljudi.
19:32
You know, make you not follow your usual
400
1160000
3000
Da učinim da ne pratite
svoj uobičajeni
svoj uobičajeni
19:35
train of association,
401
1163000
2000
tok asocijacija,
19:37
but make you rewire.
402
1165000
3000
već da prespojite.
19:40
It literally -- when people say about the shock of recognition,
403
1168000
3000
Bukvalno - kad ljudi govore
o šoku od prepoznavanja,
o šoku od prepoznavanja,
19:43
it's literally re-cognition, rewiring how you think --
404
1171000
10000
bukvalno je pre-poznavanje
prespajanje onoga kako razmišljate -
prespajanje onoga kako razmišljate -
19:53
I had a joke to go with this and I forgot it.
405
1181000
3000
imala sam vic u vezi ovoga
i zaboravila sam ga.
i zaboravila sam ga.
19:56
I'm so sorry. I'm getting like
406
1184000
3000
Žao mi je. Postajem kao
19:59
the woman in that joke about --
407
1187000
2000
žena u onom vicu o -
20:01
have you heard this joke about the woman driving with her mother?
408
1189000
3000
znate onaj vic o ženi
koja se vozi sa svojom majkom?
koja se vozi sa svojom majkom?
20:04
And the mother is elderly.
409
1192000
2000
Majka je starija žena.
20:06
And the mother goes right through a red light.
410
1194000
2000
I prođe kroz crveno svetlo.
20:08
And the daughter doesn't want to say anything.
411
1196000
3000
I ćerka neće da kaže ništa.
20:11
She doesn't want to be like, "You're too old to drive."
412
1199000
3000
Neće da kaže nešto kao:
"Suviše si stara da voziš."
"Suviše si stara da voziš."
20:14
And the mother goes through a second red light.
413
1202000
3000
I majka prođe
kroz drugo crveno.
kroz drugo crveno.
20:17
And the daughter says, as tactfully as possible,
414
1205000
3000
I ćerka kaže,
sa što je moguće više obzira:
sa što je moguće više obzira:
20:20
"Mom, are you aware that you just went through two red lights?"
415
1208000
4000
"Mama, je l' znaš da si upravo
prošla kroz dva crvena svetla?"
prošla kroz dva crvena svetla?"
20:24
And the mother says, "Oh! Am I driving?"
416
1212000
3000
I majka kaže:
"Oh! Ja vozim?"
"Oh! Ja vozim?"
20:27
(Laughter)
417
1215000
6000
(Smeh)
20:33
And that's the shock of recognition
418
1221000
2000
I to je šok od prepoznavanja
20:35
at the shock of recognition.
419
1223000
2000
u šoku od prepoznavanja.
20:37
That completes the quadruple.
420
1225000
3000
To zaokružuje četvorku.
20:40
(Laughter)
421
1228000
2000
(Smeh)
20:42
I just want to say two more things.
422
1230000
4000
Samo želim da kažem
još dve stvari.
još dve stvari.
20:46
One is, another characteristic of trickster
423
1234000
4000
Jedna je, da je
još jedna osobina prevaranta
još jedna osobina prevaranta
20:50
is that the trickster has to
424
1238000
2000
to da prevarant mora
20:52
walk this fine line.
425
1240000
2000
da hoda po tankoj liniji.
20:54
He has to have poise.
426
1242000
2000
Mora da ima ravnotežu.
20:56
And you know the biggest hurdle for me,
427
1244000
3000
I najveća prepona za mene,
20:59
in doing what I do,
428
1247000
2000
u onome što radim,
21:01
is constructing my performance
429
1249000
2000
je da osmislim svoj nastup
21:03
so that it's prepared and unprepared.
430
1251000
3000
tako da bude i pripremljen
i nepripremljen.
i nepripremljen.
21:06
Finding the balance between those things
431
1254000
3000
Pronalaženje ravnoteže
između ovih stvari
između ovih stvari
21:09
is always dangerous
432
1257000
2000
je uvek opasno
21:11
because you might tip off too much in the direction of unprepared.
433
1259000
3000
jer možete otići suviše
u smeru nepripremljenog.
u smeru nepripremljenog.
21:14
But being too prepared doesn't leave room
434
1262000
3000
A ako ste suviše pripremljeni,
ne ostaje prostora
ne ostaje prostora
21:17
for the accidents to happen.
435
1265000
2000
za nezgode.
21:19
I was thinking about what Moshe Safdie
436
1267000
5000
Razmišljala sam o onome
što je Moše Safdi
što je Moše Safdi
21:24
said yesterday about beauty
437
1272000
2000
juče rekao o lepoti
21:26
because in his book, Hyde says that
438
1274000
4000
jer u njegovoj knjizi
Hajd kaže
Hajd kaže
21:30
sometimes trickster can tip over into beauty.
439
1278000
5000
da ponekad prevarant može
da uskoči u lepotu.
da uskoči u lepotu.
21:35
But to do that you have to
440
1283000
3000
Ali da biste to uradili
morate da
morate da
21:38
lose all the other qualities
441
1286000
2000
izgubite sve druge kvalitete,
21:40
because once you're into beauty
442
1288000
2000
jer jednom
kad se nađete u lepoti,
kad se nađete u lepoti,
21:42
you're into a finished thing.
443
1290000
2000
ušli ste u svršenu stvar.
21:44
You're into something that
444
1292000
2000
U nečemu ste što
21:46
occupies space and inhabits time.
445
1294000
2000
zauzima prostor
i živi u vremenu.
i živi u vremenu.
21:48
It's an actual thing.
446
1296000
2000
Realna je stvar.
21:50
And it is always extraordinary to see a thing of beauty.
447
1298000
5000
I uvek je sjajno videti
lepu stvar.
lepu stvar.
21:55
But if you don't do that,
448
1303000
2000
Ali ako to ne radite,
21:57
if you allow for the accident to keep on happening,
449
1305000
4000
ako dozvolite nezgodama
da se dešavaju,
da se dešavaju,
22:01
you have the possibility of getting on a wavelength.
450
1309000
3000
imate mogućnost
da stignete na talasnu dužinu.
da stignete na talasnu dužinu.
22:04
I like to think of what I do as a probability wave.
451
1312000
7000
Volim da mislim o tome
kao o talasu verovatnoće.
kao o talasu verovatnoće.
22:11
When you go into beauty the probability wave
452
1319000
2000
Kad uđete u lepotu
talas verovatnoće
talas verovatnoće
22:13
collapses into one possibility.
453
1321000
3000
se urušava
u jednu mogućnost.
u jednu mogućnost.
22:16
And I like to explore all the possibilities
454
1324000
3000
A ja volim da istražujem
sve mogućnosti
sve mogućnosti
22:19
in the hope that you'll be on the wavelength of your audience.
455
1327000
5000
u nadi da ćete biti na istoj
talasnoj dužini kao vaša publika.
talasnoj dužini kao vaša publika.
22:24
And the one final quality I want to say about trickster is
456
1332000
3000
I poslednja osobina prevaranta
koju želim da pomenem je ta
koju želim da pomenem je ta
22:27
that he doesn't have a home.
457
1335000
2000
da on nema dom.
22:29
He's always on the road.
458
1337000
2000
Uvek je na putu.
22:31
I want to say to you Richard, in closing,
459
1339000
4000
I želim da vam kažem Ričarde,
na kraju,
na kraju,
22:35
that in TED you've created a home.
460
1343000
6000
da ste u TED-u
stvorili dom.
stvorili dom.
22:41
And thank you for inviting me into it.
461
1349000
2000
I hvala vam
što ste me pozvali u njega.
što ste me pozvali u njega.
22:43
Thank you very much.
462
1351000
2000
Hvala vam puno.
22:45
(Applause)

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Emily Levine - Philosopher-comicHumorist, writer and trickster Emily Levine riffs on science and the human condition.
Why you should listen
Humorist Emily Levine works a heady vein of humor, cerebral and thoughtful as well as hilarious. Oh, she's got plenty of jokes. But her work, at its core, makes serious connections -- between hard science and pop culture, between what we say and what we secretly assume ... She plumbs the hidden oppositions, the untouchable not-quite-truths of the modern mind.
Levine's background in improv theater, with its requirement to always say "yes" to the other actor's reality, has helped shape her worldview. Always suspicious of sharp either/or distinctions, she proposes "the quantum logic of and/and" -- a thoroughly postmodern, scientifically informed take on life that allows for complicated states of being. Like the one we're in right now.
For more on Levine's thoughts about life and death, read her blog, "The Yoy of Dying," at EmilysUniverse.com, along with updates on "Emily @ the Edge of Chaos" and pronouncements from Oracle Em.
