Dan Phillips: Creative houses from reclaimed stuff

Translator: Hanno Artur Särg Reviewer: TED Translators admin

(Applause)

(Aplaus)

Tänan väga.

Thank you very much.

I have a few pictures,

Mul on kaasas mõned pildid

and I'll talk a little bit about how I'm able to do what I do.

ja ma räägin natuke sellest,

kuidas saan teha seda, mida teen.

All these houses are built

Kõik need majad on ehitatud

from between 70 and 80 percent recycled material,

70-80% ulatuses ümbertöödeldud materjalist -

stuff that was headed to the mulcher, the landfill, the burn pile.

kraamist, mis muidu oleks läinud purustamisele, prügilasse või põletamisele.

It was all just gone.

See kõik oli kõlbmatuks tunnistatud.

This is the first house I built.

See on esimene mu ehitatud maja.

This double front door here with the three-light transom,

See kahe poolega uks ja kolme ruuduga aken

that was headed to the landfill.

olid teel prügimäele.

Seal on väike tornike.

Have a little turret there.

Ja need kaunistused kronsteinidel,

And then these buttons on the corbels here --

seal,

right there --

on hikkoripähklid.

those are hickory nuts.

And these buttons there --

Ja need kaunistused seal,

those are chicken eggs.

on kanamunad.

(Laughter)

Loomulikult sööte enne hommikust

Of course, first you have breakfast,

and then you fill the shell full of Bondo and paint it and nail it up,

ja siis täidate munakoore autopahtliga, värvite ning kinnitate.

Ja nii on teil arhitektuurne muna

and you have an architectural button in just a fraction of the time.

vaid paari hetkega.

See on siis sisevaade.

This is a look at the inside.

Näha on see kolme ruuduga aken

You can see the three-light transom there with the eyebrow windows.

ja kaarjad ukseklaasid,

Certainly an architectural antique headed to the landfill --

selgelt stiilne arhitektuur,

mis oli teel prügilasse.

even the lockset is probably worth 200 dollars.

Isegi ukselukk üksi on ilmselt 200 $ väärt.

Everything in the kitchen was salvaged.

Kogu köögi sisustus on päästetud.

There's a 1952 O'Keefe & Merritt stove,

Pliit on 1952. aasta O'Keefe & Merritti toodang,

if you like to cook -- cool stove.

kui kokandus peaks huvi pakkuma - vinge pliit.

This is going up into the turret.

See viib torni.

I got that staircase for 20 dollars,

Selle trepi sain ma 20 $ eest,

including delivery to my lot.

hinna sees oli ka kohaletoimetamine.

(Laughter)

(Naer)

Then, looking up in the turret,

Vaadates edasi tornis ringi,

you see there are bulges and pokes and sags and so forth.

seal on näha kühmud, nukid, mõned kohad on sisse vajunud ja muudki.

Well, if that ruins your life,

Noh, kui see teie elu ära rikub,

well, then, you shouldn't live there.

siis ei pea te seal elama.

(Laughter)

(Naer)

This is a laundry chute.

See on pesušaht

And this right here is a shoe last --

ning see on kingaliist.

those are those cast-iron things you see at antique shops.

Ja see on üks väga vastupidav asi,

mida antiigipoodides müüakse. Ma siis hankisin omale selle

So I had one of those,

so I made some low-tech gadgetry, where you just stomp on the shoe last,

ja valmistasin ühe üsna algelise leiutise.

Lööd lihtsalt kingaliistule,

and then the door flies open and you throw your laundry down.

luuk lendab lahti ja sina viskad pesu alla.

And then if you're smart enough, it goes on a basket on top of the washer.

Ja kui sa piisavalt tark oled, maandub see korvis pesumasina peal.

Kui mitte, maandub see vetsupotis.

If not, it goes into the toilet.

(Laughter)

(Naer)

This is a bathtub I made,

Selle vanni tegin ma ise,

made out of scrap two-by-four.

tehtud on ta 2x4-tollise prussi ülejääkidest.

Started with the rim, and then glued and nailed it up into a flat,

Alustasin servast

ja siis liimisin ning kinnitasin tükid kokku siledaks pinnaks,

corbeled it up and flipped it over,

kinnitasin jalad ning pöörasin ta ümber,

then did the two profiles on this side.

seejärel valmistasin selle poole välispinna.

It's a two-person tub.

See on kaheinimese-vann.

After all, it's not just a question of hygiene,

Lõppude lõpuks ei piirdu kõik ainult hügieeniga,

but there's a possibility of recreation as well.

vaid on ka võimalus meelelahutuseks.

(Laughter)

(Naer)

Then, this faucet here is just a piece of Osage orange.

See kraan

on tükk maclura pomiferast.

See võib natuke fallost meenutada,

It looks a little phallic,

aga tegu ongi ju vannitoaga.

but after all, it's a bathroom.

(Laughter)

(Naer)

This is a house based on a Budweiser can.

See maja põhineb Budweiseri purkidel.

It doesn't look like a can of beer,

Ta ei näe välja nagu õllepurk,

but the design take-offs are absolutely unmistakable:

aga disaini jäljendus on ilmselge.

Humalast inspireeritud disain algab juba räästast,

the barley hops design worked up into the eaves,

then the dentil work comes directly off the can's red, white, blue and silver.

hammaslõike muster on selgelt otse purgilt - punane, valge, sinine ja hõbedane.

Then, these corbels going down underneath the eaves

Need konsoolid räästa all

are that little design that comes off the can.

on ka väike disainielement, mis pärineb purgilt.

I just put a can on a copier and kept enlarging it

Ma panin lihtsalt purgi paljundusmasinasse

ja suurendasin nii kaua, kuni sain soovitud suuruse.

until I got the size I want.

Then, on the can it says,

Siis, purgi peal on kirjas:

"This is the famous Budweiser beer,

"See on kuulus Budweiseri õlu, me ei tunne ühtki teist õlut..."

we know of no other beer, blah, blah, blah."

So we changed that and put,

Me siis muutsime seda ja kirjutasime: "See on kuulus Budweiseri maja.

"This is the famous Budweiser house. We don't know of any other house ..."

Me ei tunne ühtki teist maja." Ja nii edasi.

and so forth and so on.

This is a deadbolt.

See on siis riiv. See oli piiraja 1930. aastate freespingil,

It's a fence from a 1930s shaper, which is a very angry woodworking machine.

mis on väga vihane puutöömasin.

And they gave me the fence, but they didn't give me the shaper,

Mulle anti piiraja, aga freespinki ennast mitte,

so we made a deadbolt out of it.

nii et me tegime sellest riivi.

That'll keep bull elephants out, I promise.

See hoiab ka elevante tagasi, ma luban.

(Laughter)

Ja kindel on see, et meil pole elevantidega probleeme olnud.

And sure enough, we've had no problems with bull elephants.

(Naer)

(Laughter)

The shower is intended to simulate a glass of beer.

Dušš peaks imiteerima õlleklaasi.

We've got bubbles going up there, then suds at the top with lumpy tiles.

Need on üles liikuvad mullid, üleval kujutavad ebatasased plaadid vahtu.

Where do you get lumpy tiles? Well, of course, you don't.

Kust ebatasaseid plaate saada? Ega ei saagi.

But I get a lot of toilets, and so you just dispatch a toilet with a hammer,

Aga ma saan palju vetsupotte ning kui pott haamriga osadeks võtta,

saab ebatasased plaadid.

and then you have lumpy tiles.

And then the faucet is a beer tap.

Kraan on

õllekraan.

(Laughter)

(Naer)

Then, this panel of glass is the same panel of glass

See klaaspaneel

on samasugune klaaspaneel,

that occurs in every middle-class front door in America.

nagu võib näha iga keskklassi majapidamise uksel Ameerikas.

We're getting tired of it. It's kind of clichéd now.

Me hakkame sellest tüdinema. See on klišee.

If you put it in the front door, your design fails.

Järelikult kui see paigutada eesuksele, on disain läbi kukkunud.

So don't put it in the front door; put it somewhere else.

Ära siis pane seda eesuksele, vaid pane kuhugi mujale.

Kena klaaspaneel!

It's a pretty panel of glass.

Aga kui sa selle eesuksele paned,

But if you put it in the front door,

people say, "Oh, you're trying to be like those guys,

ütlevad inimesed: "Sa üritad teistega sarnaneda, aga ei saa sellega hakkama."

and you didn't make it."

Ühesõnaga ära sinna ette seda pane.

So don't put it there.

Then, another bathroom upstairs.

Siis teine vannituba ülakorrusel.

This light up here

See tuli siin on samasugune tuli, mida võib kohata

is the same light that occurs in every middle-class foyer in America.

iga keskklassi esikus Ameerikas.

Don't put it in the foyer.

Ärge pange seda esikusse.

Put it in the shower, or in the closet,

Pange duširuumi või kappi,

aga mitte esikusse.

but not in the foyer.

Keegi andis mulle veel ühe bidee, nii et sinna sai ka bidee.

Then, somebody gave me a bidet, so it got a bidet.

(Laughter)

(Naer)

This little house here,

See väike majake siin -

those branches there are made out of Bois d'arc or Osage orange.

oksad on võetud Bois D'arcilt elik maclura pomiferalt

These pictures will keep scrolling as I talk a little bit.

ning need pildid liiguvad vaikselt edasi,

kuni ma samal ajal jutustan.

In order to do what I do,

Et teha seda, mida ma teen,

you have to understand what causes waste in the building industry.

tuleb mõista,

mis ehitustööstuses prahti tekitab.

Our housing has become a commodity,

Meie ühiskonnas on kodu muutunud äriobjektiks

and I'll talk a little bit about that.

ja ma räägin natuke sellest.

But the first cause of waste is probably even buried in our DNA.

Sest esimene prügi tekkimise põhjus on ilmselt kätketud meie DNA-sse.

Human beings have a need for maintaining consistency

Inimolenditel on vajadus säilitada tajumise

eelduseks olevate kogemuste järjepidevust.

of the apperceptive mass.

Mida see tähendab?

What does that mean?

What it means is, for every perception we have,

See tähendab, et iga aisting, mis meil on,

it needs to tally with the one like it before,

peab kokku sobima eelmisega,

muidu pole järjepidevust

or we don't have continuity, and we become a little bit disoriented.

ja me sattume segadusse.

So I can show you an object you've never seen before.

Nii et ma võin näidata teile eset, mida te varem näinud pole...

Oh, that's a cell phone.

See on mobiil.

But you've never seen this one before.

Aga seda konkreetset pole te varem näinud.

What you're doing

Nüüd

is sizing up the pattern of structural features,

panete te ajus ritta kõik eseme füüsilised omadused

and then you go through your databanks:

ning kammite peas kõik teadmised läbi kuni tajute - mobiil.

Cell phone. Oh! That's a cell phone.

See on mobiil.

If I took a bite out of it, you'd go,

Kui ma sellest ampsu võtaksin,

"Wait a second.

mõtleksite kohe: "Oota nüüd,

(Laughter)

"That's not a cell phone.

see pole ju mobiil.

That's one of those new chocolate cell phones."

See on šokolaadist mobiiltelefon."

(Laughter)

(Naer)

You'd have to start a new category,

Ja te peaksite looma uue kategooria

right between cell phones and chocolate.

ning paigutama selle mobiilide ja šokolaadi vahele.

(Laughter)

Niimoodi töötleme me infot.

That's how we process information.

You translate that to the building industry.

Kui see nüüd ehitusfirmadele tõlkida -

kui meil on klaassein ning üks ruut on mõraga,

If we have a wall of windowpanes and one pane is cracked, we go,

mõtleme: "Heldeke, seal on mõra. Parandame seina ära.

"Oh, dear. That's cracked. Let's repair it.

Võtame selle ära, viskame minema, nii et keegi seda kasutada ei saa ja paneme uue."

Let's take it out and throw it away so nobody can use it

and put a new one in."

Sest mõranenud klaasiga tehaksegi nii.

Because that's what you do with a cracked pane.

Mis siis, et see meie elusid üldse ei mõjuta.

Never mind that it doesn't affect our lives at all.

It only rattles that expected pattern and unity of structural features.

See rikub ainult mustrit

ja füüsiliste omaduste ühtsust.

However, if we took a small hammer,

Kui me aga võtaksime väikse haamri

ja teeksime teistele klaasidele ka mõrad,

and we added cracks to all the other windows --

(Laughter)

siis oleks valmis muster.

then we have a pattern.

Because Gestalt psychology emphasizes recognition of pattern

Sest gestalt-psühholoogia toonitab pigem mustri kui terviku,

kui selle osade tunnistamise olulisust.

over parts that comprise a pattern.

Me mõtleme: "Küll see on kena."

We'll go, "Ooh, that's nice."

So, that serves me every day.

Sellest juhindun ma iga päev.

Kordamine loob mustri.

Repetition creates pattern.

If I have 100 of these, 100 of those,

Kui mul on sada seda ja sada teist,

it makes no difference what these and those are.

siis pole vahet, mis need asjad on.

If I can repeat anything, I have the possibility of a pattern,

Kõigest on kordamise teel võimalik moodustada muster,

from hickory nuts and chicken eggs, shards of glass, branches.

kas hikkoripähklitest või kanamunadest, klaasikildudest, okstest.

It doesn't make any difference.

Vahet pole.

That causes a lot of waste in the building industry.

See tekitab ehituses palju jäätmeid.

The second cause is,

Teiseks - Friedrich Nietzsche kirjutas

Friedrich Nietzsche, along about 1885,

umbes 1885. aastal raamatu "Tragöödia sünd".

wrote a book titled "The Birth of Tragedy."

And in there,

Ja seal kirjutas ta,

he said cultures tend to swing between one of two perspectives:

et kultuurid kipuvad kahe printsiibi vahel pendeldama.

on the one hand, we have an Apollonian perspective,

Ühel küljel on meil apollonlik aspekt,

mis on väga range, ettekavatsetud,

which is very crisp and premeditated and intellectualized

väga vaimne

ja täiuslik.

and perfect.

On the other end of the spectrum, we have a Dionysian perspective,

Teiseks on meil dionüüslik aspekt,

which is more given to the passions and intuition,

mis lähtub rohkem kirgedest ja vaistudest,

tolerant of organic texture and human gesture.

on sallivam orgaanilise struktuuri ja kehakeele suhtes.

So the way the Apollonian personality takes a picture or hangs a picture is,

Seega kui apollonlik isiksus pildistab

või riputab pilti seinale,

they'll get out a transit

otsib ta välja teodoliidi,

and a laser level

laserloodi ja mikromeetri.

and a micrometer.

"OK, honey. A thousandth of an inch to the left.

"Olgu, kallis. Tuhandik tolli vasakule.

Sinna me seda pilti tahamegi. Täpselt. Imeline."

That's where we want the picture. Right. Perfect!"

Kõik on kristallselge ja laitmatult tehtud.

Predicated on plumb level, square and centered.

Dionüüslik isiksus

The Dionysian personality takes the picture and goes:

võtab pildi ja vaatab...

(Laughter)

(Naer)

Selles ongi vahe.

That's the difference.

Minu eripäraks ongi vead.

I feature blemish.

I feature organic process.

Minu eripäraks on orgaaniline protsess.

Dead center John Dewey.

Läbinisti John Dewey.

Apollonian mindset creates mountains of waste.

Apollonlik mõtteviis loob mägede viisi prügi.

Kui miski pole täiuslik,

If something isn't perfect,

if it doesn't line up with that premeditated model?

kui see ei sobi eelnevaga, kohe prügikasti.

Dumpster.

"Oih, kriim, prügikasti."

"Oops. Scratch. Dumpster."

Oih siin ja oih seal. "Prügimägi, prügimägi, prügimägi."

"Oops" this, "oops" that. Landfill, landfill, landfill.

The third thing is arguably --

Kolmas asi on väidetavalt

The Industrial Revolution started in the Renaissance

tööstusrevolutsioon, mis algas renessansi ajal

humanismi tõusuga

with the rise of humanism,

then got a little jump start along about the French Revolution.

ning seejärel veel Prantsuse revolutsioonist jõudu sai.

By the middle of the 19th century, it's in full flower.

19. sajandi keskpaigaks oli see õitsele puhkenud.

Ja meil on riistad, abivahendid

And we have dumaflaches and gizmos

and contraptions that will do anything

ja kaadervärgid, mis kõigega hakkama saavad,

mida me seni

that we, up to that point,

pidime käsitsi tegema.

had to do by hand.

So now we have standardized materials.

Seega nüüd on meil standardsed materjalid.

Well, trees don't grow two inches by four inches,

Ega puud ju ei kasva 2x4-tolliseks,

eight, ten and twelve feet tall.

8, 10 ega 12 jalga pikaks.

(Laughter)

Me loome prügimägesid.

We create mountains of waste.

Ja metsas osatakse päris hästi

And they're doing a pretty good job there in the forest,

Ja metsas osatakse päris hästi

working all the byproduct of their industry --

oma tööstuse kõrvalprodukte kasutada -

tehakse OSB-plaate, saepuruplaate ja muud,

with OSB and particle board and so forth and so on --

but it does no good

aga see ei vähenda kuidagi

to be responsible at the point of harvest in the forest

vastutust metsa hävitamise eest,

if consumers are wasting the harvest at the point of consumption.

kui tarbijad tarbimisstaadiumis puitu raiskavad

ning just see toimubki.

And that's what's happening.

Ja kui miski pole standardne -

And so if something isn't standard,

"Oops, dumpster." "Oops" this. "Oops, warped."

"Oih, prügikasti, oih, kooldunud."

If you buy a two-by-four and it's not straight,

Kui sa ostad 2x4 prussi ja see pole sirge,

siis võid selle tagasi viia.

you can take it back.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, sir. We'll get you a straight one."

"Vabandage, härra, me toome teile kohe sirge."

Well, I feature all those warped things

Mina kasutan kõiki neid kooldunud asju,

sest kordamine loob mustri

because repetition creates pattern,

ning see on rohkem dionüüslik perspektiiv.

and it's from a Dionysian perspective.

Neljas probleem

The fourth thing

is labor is disproportionately more expensive than materials.

on see, et tööjõud on ebavõrdeliselt kallim kui materjalid.

See on ainult müüt.

Well, that's just a myth.

And there's a story:

Räägin ühe loo: Jim Tulles, üks mu õpilastest.

Jim Tulles, one of the guys I trained -- I said, "Jim, it's time now.

Ma ütlesin: "Jim, nüüd on aeg.

I got a job for you as a foreman on a framing crew. Time for you to go."

Ma leidsin sulle töö raamimise meeskonna juhina, sul on aeg minna."

"Dan, I just don't think I'm ready."

"Dan, ma arvan, et ma pole veel valmis."

"Jim, now it's time. You're the down -- oh!"

"Jim, nüüd on aeg..."

So we hired on.

Me palkasime siis siia uued inimesed.

And he was out there with a tape measure, going through the trash heap,

Ja ta tuhnis uues kohas mõõdulint peos

prügihunnikus, otsides piida materjali -

looking for header material, or the board that goes over a door,

see on latt, mis läheb ukse kohalt üle -

thinking he'd impress his boss -- that's how we taught him to do it.

arvates, et ta avaldab oma ülemusele muljet - nii me teda õpetasime.

Ja järelvaataja tuli ta juurde ning küsis: "Mis sa teed?"

The superintendent walked up and said, "What are you doing?"

"Otsin piida jaoks materjali,"

"Oh, just looking for header material,"

vastas ta, oodates kiitust.

waiting for that kudos.

He said, "I'm not paying you to go through the trash. Get back to work."

Ta sai vastuseks: "Ei-ei, ma ei maksa sulle prügi sorteerimise eest. Tagasi tööle."

Tal oli piisavalt raha,

And Jim had the wherewithal to say,

et öelda: "Teate, kui te maksaksite mulle

"You know, if you were paying me 300 dollars an hour,

300 $ tunnis,

I can see how you might say that.

siis ma mõistaks, et te nii ütlete,

But right now, I'm saving you five dollars a minute.

aga praegu hoian ma teil minutis viis dollarit kokku.

Do the math."

Arvutage ise."

(Laughter)

(Naer)

"Good call, Tulles. From now on, you guys hit this pile first."

"Hea mõte, Tulles. Edaspidi vaatate enne hunniku läbi."

And the irony is that he wasn't very good at math.

Ja asja iroonia on selles, et ta polnud eriline matemaatik.

(Laughter)

(Naer)

But once in a while, you get access to the control room,

Aga vahel harva pääsed sa kontrollruumile ligi

ja saad natuke nuppudega mässata.

and then you can kind of mess with the dials.

See seal juhtuski.

And that's what happened there.

The fifth thing is that maybe, after 2,500 years,

Viies mure on ehk see, et võib-olla veel isegi 2500 aastat hiljem

kujundab Platon meid oma täiuslikkuse arusaama järgi.

Plato is still having his way with us in his notion of perfect forms.

Ta ütles, et meil on peakolus

He said that we have in our noggin the perfect idea of what we want,

täielik arusaam sellest, mida me tahame,

and we force environmental resources to accommodate that.

ja me oskame keskkonnas leiduvaid ressursse selleks ära kasutada.

So we all have in our head the perfect house,

Seega peitub meie kõigi peas täiuslik maja -

Ameerika unistus - maja,

the American dream, which is a house,

unelmate maja.

the dream house.

Probleem on see, et me ei saa seda endale lubada.

The problem is we can't afford it.

So we have the American dream look-alike,

Niisiis valime väliselt sarnase maja,

which is a mobile home.

mis on tegelikult vaid vagunelamu. %¤

Now there's a blight on the planet.

Aga meie planeedil on sees mädanik.

(Laughter)

It's a chattel mortgage,

Selle nimi on tagatisega laen,

just like furniture, just like a car.

niimoodi saab ära laenata nii mööbli kui auto.

You write the check, and instantly, it depreciates 30 percent.

Kirjutad tšeki ja selle väärtus kahaneb kohe 30%.

After a year, you can't get insurance on everything you have in it,

Juba aasta pärast ei kindlustata kõike majas olevat,

vaid ainult 70% sellest.

only on 70 percent.

Tavaliselt on sellised süsteemid 1,5 mm juhtmega ühendatud.

Wired with 14-Gauge wire, typically.

Nothing wrong with that,

Selles pole midagi halba,

unless you ask it to do what 12-Gauge wire's supposed to do,

kui sa 1,5 mm juhtmelt ei taha 2 mm juhtme läbilaskvust

ning sellest probleem tekibki.

and that's what happens.

It out-gasses formaldehyde --

See annab välja nii palju formaldehüüdi,

so much so that there is a federal law in place

et on olemas föderaalseadus,

to warn new mobile home buyers of the formaldehyde atmosphere danger.

mis hoiatab vagunelamute ostjaid

formaldehüüdi sissehingamise ohtlikkuse eest.

Are we just being numbingly stupid?

Kas me oleme siis lihtsalt tuimalt lollid?

The walls are this thick.

Seinad on nii paksud.

The whole thing has the structural value of corn.

Kogu kupatuse tegelik väärtus on võrdne maisiga.

(Laughter)

(Naer)

"So ... I thought Palm Harbor Village was over there."

"Ma sain aru, et seal on Palm Harbor Village?"

"No, no. We had a wind last night.

"Ei, ei. Eile oli tuuline.

It's gone now."

Nüüd seda enam pole."

(Laughter)

(Naer)

Then when they degrade, what do you do with them?

Kui nende väärtus alaneb, siis mis nendega peale hakata?

Now, all that --

Kõik see -

that Apollonian, Platonic model --

apollonlik, platonlik maailmakäsitlus,

is what the building industry is predicated on,

on see, millele ehitustööstus toetub

and there are a number of things that exacerbate that.

ja on mitmeid asju, mis olukorra veel teravamaks teevad.

One is that all the professionals,

Üks on see, et kõik asjatundjad,

all the tradesmen, vendors,

kõik kaupmehed, müüjad,

inspectors, engineers, architects

inspektorid, insenerid, arhitektid -

all think like this.

kõik mõtlevad nii.

And then it works its way back to the consumer,

Lõpuks jõuab see ringiga tagasi tarbijani,

who demands the same model.

kes sama mudelit nõuab.

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. We can't get out of it.

See on nõiaring. Sellest pole pääsu.

Then here come the marketeers and the advertisers.

Ja siis tulevad turustajad ja reklaamijad.

"Woo. Woo-hoo."

Vaat-vaat!

We buy stuff we didn't know we needed.

Me ostame asju, mille vajalikkusest me midagi ei teadnud.

All we have to do is look at what one company did

Piisab, kui vaadata,

mida üks firma karboniseeritud ploomimahlaga tegi.

with carbonated prune juice.

Rõve värk.

How disgusting.

(Laughter)

(Naer)

But you know what they did?

Aga teate, mis nad tegid? Nad sidusid sellega metafoori

They hooked a metaphor into it and said, "I drink Dr. Pepper ..."

ja ütlesid: "Ma joon Dr. Pepperit..."

Ja varsti kaanime me seda kraami järvede kaupa,

And pretty soon, we're swilling that stuff by the lake-ful,

miljardeid liitreid.

by the billions of gallons.

It doesn't even have real prunes! Doesn't even keep you regular.

See ei sisalda isegi päris ploome. Pole isegi tervislik.

(Laughter)

(Naer)

My oh my, that makes it worse.

Jumaluke, see teeb asja veel hullemaks.

And we get sucked into that faster than anything.

Ja meid imetakse sellesse kiiremini, kui ise arugi saame.

Jean-Paul Sartre kirjutas raamatu

Then, a man named Jean-Paul Sartre wrote a book

nimega "Being and Nothingness".

titled "Being and Nothingness."

See läheb üsna kiiresti.

It's a pretty quick read. You can snap through it in maybe --

Selle võib kiirelt ehk kahe aastaga läbi vaadata,

(Laughter)

maybe two years,

kui päevas kaheksa tundi lugeda.

if you read eight hours a day.

In there, he talked about the divided self.

Ta kirjutas seal lõhestunud isiksusest.

Ta kirjutas, et inimolendid käituvad erinevalt, kui nad on üksi

He said human beings act differently when they know they're alone

või kui nad on kellegagi koos.

than when they know somebody else is around.

Nii et kui ma spagette söön ja tean, et olen üksi,

So if I'm eating spaghetti, and I know I'm alone,

I can eat like a backhoe.

võin süüa rahulikult nagu ekskavaator.

I can wipe my mouth on my sleeve, napkin on the table,

Ma võin varrukaga suud pühkida, salvrätti laual hoida,

chew with my mouth open, make little noises,

närida lahtise suuga, tuua kuuldavale häälitsusi,

scratch wherever I want.

sügada, kust iganes tahan.

(Laughter)

(Naer)

But as soon as you walk in,

Aga kui keegi sisse astub,

I go, "Oops! Lil' spaghetti sauce there."

siis kohe: "Oih, sinna läks natuke kastet."

Napkin in my lap, half-bites,

Salvrätt põlvedele, poolikud suutäied,

chew with my mouth closed, no scratching.

närin kinnise suuga, ei kratsi.

Now, what I'm doing is fulfilling your expectations

See on vastamine teie ootustele,

See on vastamine teie ootustele,

of how I should live my life.

kuidas ma peaks oma elu elama.

Ma tunnetan seda ootust

I feel that expectation,

and so I accommodate it,

ning vastan sellele

and I'm living my life according to what you expect me to do.

ja elan oma elu vastavalt sellele, nagu minust oodatakse.

That happens in the building industry as well.

See toimub ehituses samamoodi.

That's why all subdivisions look the same.

Sellepärast kõik planeeringud ühesugused ongi.

Sometimes, we even have these formalized cultural expectations.

Vahel on meil isegi

ühe malli järgi loodud kultuurilised ootused.

I'll bet all your shoes match.

Ma võin kihla vedada, et teie kõigi kingad on ühesugused.

Sure enough, we all buy into that ...

Selge see, et me kõik võtame selle omaks

(Laughter)

ning piiratud elamurajoonidega

And with gated communities,

oleme me moodustanud ootuse

we have a formalized expectation,

koduomanike ühistu vastu.

with a homeowners' association.

Vahel on nad natsid,

Sometimes those guys are Nazis,

my oh my.

heldeke.

That exacerbates and continues this model.

See teravdab ja jätkab vana mudelit.

The last thing is gregariousness.

Viimane asi on seltsivus.

Human beings are a social species.

Inimolendid on sotsiaalne liik.

We like to hang together in groups,

Meile meeldib eraldi rühmadesse hoida,

täpselt nagu gnuud ja lõvid.

just like wildebeests, just like lions.

Gnuud ei hoia lõvidega kokku,

Wildebeests don't hang with lions,

because lions eat wildebeests.

sest lõvid söövad gnuusid.

Human beings are like that.

Inimolendid on samasugused.

We do what that group does

Me teeme sedasama, mida grupp,

that we're trying to identify with.

millega ennast seostada üritame.

You see this in junior high a lot.

Seda näeb hästi põhikoolis.

Those kids, they'll work all summer long -- kill themselves --

Lapsed töötavad suvi läbi

ja tapavad ennast tööga,

so that they can afford one pair of designer jeans.

et endale lubada

paari disaineri teksasid.

So along about September,

Septembri alguses saavad

they can stride in and go,

nad siis minna ja öelda:

"I'm important today. See? Don't touch my designer jeans!

"Täna olen ma tähtis.

Vaata, aga ära mu disaineri teksasid puutu.

I see you don't have designer jeans.

Ma vaatan, et sul pole disaineri teksasid.

You're not one of the beautiful -- See, I'm one of the beautiful people.

Sa ei kuulu ilusate inimeste hulka.

Vaata, mina olen ilus inimene. Näed mu teksasid?"

See my jeans?"

Right there is reason enough to have uniforms.

Juba see annab piisava põhjuse koolivormide jaoks.

And so that happens in the building industry as well.

Ja see toimub ehituses samuti.

We have confused Maslow's hierarchy of needs,

Me oleme

Maslow' vajaduste hierarhia

natuke segamini ajanud.

just a little bit.

On the bottom tier, we have basic needs:

Alumisel real on

meil põhivajadused -

shelter, clothing, food, water, mating and so forth.

ulualune, riietus, toit, vesi, paaritumine ja nii edasi.

Second: security. Third: relationships.

Teiseks, turvalisus. Kolmandaks, inimsuhted.

Fourth: status, self-esteem -- that is, vanity --

Neljandaks, staatus, enesehinnang elik edevus.

and we're taking vanity and shoving it down here.

Kuid me võtame edevuse ja paneme selle hoopis siia esimeste hulka.

And so we end up

Nõnda teeme me

with vain decisions,

vaid tulutuid otsuseid

and we can't even afford our mortgage.

ning ei suuda isegi oma majalaenu maksta.

Me ei saa endale lubada midagi peale ubade söömise.

We can't afford to eat anything except beans;

that is, our housing has become a commodity.

See tähendab, et meie kodust

on saanud tarbimishüve.

Ning on vaja natuke julgust,

And it takes a little bit of nerve

et sukelduda nendesse primaarsetesse

to dive into those primal,

terrifying parts of ourselves

hirmutavatesse osadesse enda teadvuses

and make our own decisions

ning teha omi otsuseid,

and not make our housing a commodity,

mitte teha eluasemetest tarbimishüvet,

but make it something that bubbles up from seminal sources.

vaid teha sellest midagi, mis mullidena sigimisorganitest tuleb. %¤

That takes a little bit of nerve,

See vajab natuke julgust

and, darn it, once in a while, you fail.

ja - kurat - vahel kukubki läbi.

Aga sellest pole midagi.

But that's okay.

Kui läbikukkumine su hävitab,

If failure destroys you,

siis ei ole sa selleks õigest puust.

then you can't do this.

I fail all the time, every day,

Mina põrun iga päev, kogu aeg

ja mul on olnud päris röögatuid põrumisi, võin vanduda,

and I've had some whopping failures, I promise --

suuri avalikke alandavaid,

big, public, humiliating, embarrassing failures.

häbistavaid põrumisi.

Everybody points and laughs,

Kõik näitavad näpuga ja naeravad

and they say, "He tried it a fifth time, and it still didn't work!

ning ütlevad: "Ta proovis viiendat korda ja ikka ei saanud tööle.

On alles loll."

What a moron!"

Early on, contractors come by and say,

Juba alguses tulevad töövõtjad juurde ja ütlevad:

"Dan, you're a cute little bunny,

"Dan, sa oled armas väike jänku,

but you know, this just isn't going to work.

aga tead, see lihtsalt ei hakkagi tööle.

What don't you do this? Why don't you do that?"

Miks ei võiks teha nii, miks ei võiks teha naa?"

And your instinct is to say,

Ja instinktid tahaksid vastata:

"Well, why don't you suck an egg?"

"Äkki lähed imed hoopis kotte?"

(Laughter)

But you don't say that,

Aga sa ei ütle seda,

because they're the guys you're targeting.

sest just need tüübid on su sihtmärk.

And so what we've done --

Ja millega me oleme hakkama saanud -

ning see ei puuduta ainult ehitust.

and this isn't just in housing; it's in clothing and food

See puudutab ka riietust ja toitu,

and our transportation needs, our energy --

meie transpordivajadusi, meie energiat -

we sprawl just a little bit.

oleme natuke oma tegevust laiendanud.

Ja kui mind kuulab mingil põhjusel press,

And when I get a little bit of press,

I hear from people all over the world.

saan tagasisidet inimestelt üle terve maailma.

And we may have invented excess,

Ja me võisime küll raiskamise leiutada,

but the problem of waste is worldwide.

aga jäätmete probleem

on ülemaailmne.

We're in trouble.

Me oleme jamas.

And I don't wear ammo belts crisscrossing my chest

Ja ma ei taha ristata oma rinnal padrunivöösid

and a red bandana.

ning kanda punast kaelarätti,

But we're clearly in trouble.

aga selgelt on meil jama.

And what we need to do is reconnect

Ja me peame

taas ennast ühendama

with those really primal parts of ourselves

oma kõige algelisemate osadega,

tegema mõned otsused

and make some decisions and say,

ning ütlema: "Tead, ma arvan, et mulle meeldiks

"You know, I think I would like to put CDs across the wall there.

see sein CD-dega täita.

Mis sa arvad, kallis?"

What do you think, honey?"

If it doesn't work, take it down.

Kui see ei sobi, võtke maha.

What we need to do is reconnect with who we really are,

Me peame end taasühendama oma tõelise olemusega

and that's thrilling indeed.

ning see on väga põnev.

Tänan väga.

Thank you very much.

(Applause)

(Aplaus)
