I have watched this 5 times in a row. I cannot stop crying. Humanity needs to Wake up. Our Media is creating problems that shouldn't exist. Wars are being waged with no regard to the Refugees. Lets Stick together Folks... ONE WORLD.. ONE RACE.. ONE LOVE
From Malaysia, Asia, planet Earth, I accept and advocate with Erwin, that we can choose to have a future where joy, health and creativity are daily norms that sustain the productions of every breath, every heartbeat and every birth of geniuses forever.
Love how this began with anthropology & psychology and ended as a call to arms! (or, the #ArtisanSoul equivalent: a "call to tools"?) This is a Human Manifesto.
We as human beings have seemingly unlimited potential until something unfortunate happens and then we must adapt which naturally gives us more potential. We are the personification of potential. Whatever it is that we are good at and can survive from will be our destiny until an unfortunate event which will subsequently cause us to adapt as individuals in order to survive. We are the ultimate survivors. We are god like.
He is an excellent speaker, and this is a much needed message in our world today. As globalization continues to being a force for efficiency and conformity in the world, we must never forget these important implicitly human traits we have.
Such a powerful ending! Majority of the creations are helpful to humankind but not very much to the environment and other animals that live in their ecosystems. We are depleting so much of the earth resources than earth can replenish and it's very unfortunate where this is all is going. It's true we all have a responsibility and have to take action one way or another to the best of our ability that'll be beneficial to our environment. Whether that's spending less time in shower to conserve water, taking public transportation or eating less meat or simple as recycling. It may be small but if we all do something small it will add up although cannot undo the harm we have done to our environment, the forests we have destroyed, the water we have polluted but at least we will reduces our footprint.
I have wondered for a long time where we as a species fit in to the big picture for a long time. This one man and his soaring imagination has enlightened me more than I ever hoped for.
I am from Africa,I haven't had exposure to the clicking language yet. But we do have to speak at least 3 languages to get by. I speak 7, and I am working on 3 more.
I thought that African joke was bogus....like Africans just make noises and have no language ..but when u say oh i hope i dont offend i guess that works
Ahh I was wondering how 31 people actually disliked the video.. Your teacher is doing you a favor... one day you will understand.. "...If you can Imagine"...
Twas a great speech but I was somewhat disappointed with the entire event. There were a lot of motivational speakers, which is great, but from the description of the event it sounded like we were going to hear people talk about what life is actually going to be like in 2020. Along the lines of new technologies and research being present in 2020.
This is insane. I was raised under good Bible preaching. Nothing this guy said is a new revelation to me. From the comments it must be to many others. It’s like he takes the most basic ideas, teachings, precepts, facts, truths, observations…that are all taught in the Bible…and turns them into a motivational talk…without ever mentioning THE CREATOR, His gift to us, AND OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO HIM.
This is one of the best Ted talks I've ever seen... Just an amazing speaker with immensely powerful ideas
so wide ranging and inspirational
ONE OF THE BEST SPEAKERS OF TED!! THIS VIDEO NEEDS MORE RECOGNITION 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

From Malaysia, Asia, planet Earth, I accept and advocate with Erwin, that we can choose to have a future where joy, health and creativity are daily norms that sustain the productions of every breath, every heartbeat and every birth of geniuses forever.
What he said about evil men is so true!!! I wish more people could hear that.
Love how this began with anthropology & psychology and ended as a call to arms! (or, the #ArtisanSoul equivalent: a "call to tools"?) This is a Human Manifesto.
If you give me love and imagination, I can change the world. Good stuff.

It all begins with Imagination, the seed of progress....
i learned English on youtube around when i was 12-13 years old
Well, one of the most difficult languages, English...I would say, look just at Romance languages just for a comparison
Poxa não tinha legenda em inglês ;-;, tive que ver em espanhol kkkk ;-;
Did not get what is this all about...
Los leones casi no casan gacelas, son los guepardos los que lo hacen.

You should speak at the White House.
This seems a bit more emotionally appealing than intellectual.... js 🤷🏼♂️

One of the most difficult language to master
