单集文稿 ...

  • I honestly am just kind of reeling over here.

  • I'm Angela Duckworth.

  • I'm Mike Mann, and you're listening to.

  • No stupid questions today on the show, what makes an object feel emotionally significant?

  • I'm like, why can't I.

  • Why can't I give him a bike?

  • He's like, please don't give that bike away, Mike.

  • We have an email today from a ceramic artist.

  • Hi, Angela.

  • Mike.

  • I'm currently studying ceramics at the University of Georgia.

  • I've been thinking a lot about the importance of objects in our lives.

  • For example, a handmade mug from a beloved professor that I'm reluctant to use.

  • So my question is, how do we assign value to objects?

  • And does using the object add value or degrade the object?

  • Thank you, Jordan.

  • W.

  • I will say you once sent me a mug with a picture of the two of us on it.

  • Wait, what?

  • I don't remember.
