  • Disagreement is a part of life, however our natural instinct to it is quite harmful. Sven looks into details of what happens when we disagree and why we should embrace it. Sven van de Wetering received a Ph.D. in psychology from SFU after also studying at UBC, Concordia University, and Albert-Ludwigs Universität in Freiburg, Germany. He teaches a wide range of courses in psychology at UFV. He is currently developing a course in heuristics, biases, and critical thinking, and is writing a book on psychology and critical thinking that is intended to accompany that course.
    Flora graduated from the University of The Fraser Valley in 2018 with a degree in Psychology (hons), receiving the Governor General’s Silver Medal as well as departmental awards in both Psychology and Sociology. Flora assisted in the conceptualization, development and implementation of a pilot course on the psychology of critical thinking. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Maybe this video can be summed up in one word which is HUMILITY.

    Hi, I loved this video (super applicable in our current environment). Is there a version in Spanish or with Spanish subtitles? If not available, can I help you with the subtitles? I am fully bilingual and I believe Spanish speaking people would benefit a lot from this video.

    I’ve been thinking a lot about my own confirmation bias. I’d like to take a course like this.

    We have a movie about that story of the Japanese army officer. It's called 'Baler'. 🙂 It's a romantic drama. Of course, it isn't entirely about the Japanese army officer. The movie is set during that time.

    The higher the stakes at being right or wrong, the harder it is to deviate from the original view point especially if it touches a core value.

    People are not interested in Truth but only in what they believe. The world is full of biases.

    Probably the most important thing. A good way to know if you value actual truth or not is if you maintain the truths you were taught growing up. If you maintain the truths you were taught growing up, this might be a shocker, but you do not value actual truth, and are instead seeking confirmation bias.

    There was (cannot recall who or when exactly) an effort in the US to seat opposed tenants at the same table and exercise some level of this open mindedness an humble understanding each other. I believe it was a public radio:tv program but again, not certain. The goal I agree with this researcher from Canada is to cross that bridge, perhaps swimming rather than walking… and meet at certain bordering beyond one own assertions.

    Canada should really be applauded for your advanced and clear and sensible thinking on gender. Or maybe a cheap shot to win your audience? An expression of confirmation bias?
