Filmed at the Royal Geographical Society on 28th May 2014.
The books 'Freakonomics' and 'SuperFreakonomics' have been worldwide sensations, selling tens of millions of copies. They have come to stand for challenging conventional wisdom using data rather than emotion. Questions they examine are typically: Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? How much do parents really matter? Why is chemotherapy prescribed so often if it's so ineffective?
Now the books' two authors, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, have turned what they've learned into a readable and practical toolkit for thinking smarter, harder, and different -- thinking, that is, like a Freak.
On 28th May they came to Intelligence Squared to discuss their new Frequel, 'Think Like a Freak'. They offered entertaining and practical insights such as 'Put Your Moral Compass in Your Pocket,' 'If You Have No Talent, Follow Levitt's Path to Success,' and 'The Upside of Quitting,'. By analysing the plans we form and the morals we choose, they showed how their insights can be applied to help us make smarter decisions in our daily lives.
Happiness to him is "going to the grocery store and buying what you want vs. buying what is affordable." What an excellent indicator for quality of life.
That's not quality of life, it's financial suicide. If you're buying something that _isn't affordable_ for you every time you go to a grocery store, you're basically (happily?) digging your future self into a hole.
@@RFC-3514 That's the point. If you can walk into the grocery store and get anything you want without needing to worry about the financial consequences, that's a measure of your quality of life.
@@nerveending - By that logic, you'd have to have enough money to buy _everything_ in the grocery store _every_ time you go there. And you don't need *that much* money to have "quality of life".
It's perfectly fine to be able to afford what you *need* (and hopefully have a bit left over). Many people can't even do that.
That's exactly the hidden capitalist propaganda that is being propagated under guise of 'quality of life'. If being able to spend more becomes the benchmark indicator of quality of life, then the capitalists can simply jack up the prices anytime and in any way they want and then blame the consumer for not being 'able to buy' it. It's a psychological trap, wherein both 'quality of life' and 'price' to be paid for it, is determined by those who are selling the product/service with the sole intention of maximising their profits. Beware of such traps.
I like the way that after working together for 10 years they still refer to each other by their surnames.
That's because their first names sound similar to each other.
Team incentives help to reward organizational performance, while individual incentives focus on top performers who achieve individual goals.

Reaearch a bit into Alexander Hamilton [ the gut on a ten dollr bill] you will find that he was killed in a duel his first one and that duels were used in those days as a route to political advancement thw most famous duwling president on a twenty dollar bill was Andrew jackson he qas in over a hundrwd duels you know the game had to be rigged

the major reason behind the dramatic drop in violent crime , and violence in general, was the removal of lead from gasoline, not the legalisation of abortion. just because a woman has an unwanted child doesnt automatically mean she wont love it, or care for it. very simplistic read of the statistics, which makes me question his ability to think like a freak
Did you bother to watch the part where they address that, which came literally right after the statement you are "responding" to?
Very interesting conversation.
Brilliant

Envy and ingratitude are the leading causes of suicide. People can have everything they need, but if others have more than they do, they will feel miserable.
Nice to hear
Our lives was DESIRED. Is to have a sincere conversations with one another availeth much. Same measured will be given. Likewise a sincere answers will be given indeed. Likewise with foolished conversations same measured will be given indeed. Remember having a sincere conversations with God, to thyself, and to one another beloved availeth much. Is like what is the true meaning of utterance beloved? Obviously there's a true foundation and an Aim before utterance LEAVES our mouths my beloved brothers and sisters. Keep it going my pops! Remember pops all of you are worth respecting, honoring, loving, and giving my life for a friend kind of love. Why? Because thy lives was DESIRED. Who are worth more than anything nor everything that exists! Indeed all things and yet to come made just for thee! Is like who else will glorify beloved? Remember thy FEETS resting upon a foundation that noone can UPROOT nor shaken but here to stay for good. Without thy neighbors how else can you and me show off to God without my neighbors beloved? Humble to wash FEETS of neighbors and wiping tears from all eyes. Likewise humble to bound if my FATHER SAYS SO! REMEMBER 1ST. LOVE GOD AS A CHILDS 2ND. LOVE THY NEIGHBORS AS THYSELF. KEEP IT GOING! NOTHING IS WASTED BUT INCREASED. Before moving forward asked thy intent, thy based, thy foundation, and where thy hearts will be also. Likewise before WRITING a book beloved. The tree is known by it's fruits beloved. If God comes unto thee Hungry. What will the tree will give to eat? Or tree produces fruits with no taste. Why hide? Indeed the child is in plain view for all to see and eat. Father it's a privilege to have a sincere conversations with thee father God as a CHILDS we are in front of thee Father God. A CHILDS will no mean be denied.
based on personal experiences around the world i discovered that in all countries,
1. quality of life is inversely proportional to standard of living
as measured by the happiness levels of the people i encountered.
2. and people's generosity and sense of well-being are inversely proportional to their wealth
these findings are commensurate with the authors' discovery that suicide rates are proportional to wealth
I too have traveled the world a couple of times, and found the opposite of your statement to be true. And in fact so did the speaker in the very example you used. He points to the fact that rich people do 'NOT' experience higher happiness, and commit more suicide due to the guilt for "no excuse". I have found no research that agrees with your statement, either in practice or in theory. Name a group of rich people who weren't miserable, and I'll lay odds that they had relationships and performed services for those less fortunate than themselves. But for the majority of them who seclude themselves from the world, the opposite is true. They claim happiness but are imprisoned by people who are fakes, hateful, self-absorbed phonies surrounding them, suffer massive ignorance of humanity from isolation of riches, geography, high fences and limozine service - most sheltered (imprisoned by pleasure and desire), Begets non-thinking, criminal, naive, and gullible for the inheritance of their fore-parents. To arrogant to ever hear it, until now we see they have destroyed the homelands of others with their oil and chemical spills, genocide by private armies, making enemies that makes their prisons even smaller.
Regular people find joy in things priviledged people never consider, and or see as beneath them. Life is within 'people' instead of their status. Not international bankers and multinational corporations that practice Fascism as a rule for life and business.
Steward Clinton I think you're in total agreement w/djhbrown. Better check the meaning of "inversely proportional".
my statement was, of course, an oversimplification. there is a bottom line - the bread line - below which quality of life most certainly does not increase. furthermore, happiness is more a function of personal psychology than material well-being. there are happy fat cats and unhappy street cats. indeed, drug use does seem to be more prevalent within lower economic groups. so i think i should modify my observation to read: "quality of life is inversely proportion to desire for higher standard of living".
he says lead from car exhaust doesn't travel far, but what about when it goes into a river, is soaked up after a storm, etc. Everyone drank lead, and it def had an effect.
They're writing a book on improving golf scores. I wonder if these techniques helped Mr Levitt improve his score in golf or not. He says it's better to be ranked 90 rather than ranked 2nd (or 20th).

Regarding sulfer dioxide geoengineering, there are unintended consequences that are potentially catastrophic: There is no way of predicting how fiddling with the clmate knobs would play out but it is likely some parts of the world will get much colder and other parts of the world will get much hotter, with no way of knowing beforehand who wins and who loses. If you knew there was a 20% the plane you were about to board was going to crash, you would never get on that aircraft. So, are you ready to roll these climate dice? And, who decides?

Interesting and amusing. But total click bait title. This talk does not teach you how to think at all.
Fantastic.
At 1:24:20 , how do you set prices.
I didn't know it but it seems I have been "Thinking like Freak" all my life, according to how they describe it.
I just assumed most people thought like me... seems most people are not that curious or willing to dig deeper into those "stupid" things that turn out to be definitive to make sound decisions.
But because of my tendency to share my curiosity, by the time I expose my findings, a lot of times others take credit for whatever good comes of them, and if bad things come of it... they will blame MY idea.
Then instead of telling people your findings, write them as publications. That way, good or bad, you have a claim to your ideas. Do people solicit your ideas or do you go to them?
Interesting discussion on China's one-child policy. Many Chinese men won't be able to marry due to limited female population, which is worsened with the wealthier Chinese families who can afford to have a girl would send their child to be educated in the U.S. and many of these Chinese females then chose to marry someone outside of their race.
1:02:15 - This is just audience manipulation, similar to what comedians do.
He didn't ask them if they _always_ wash their hands, and the "conclusion" that 30% of people should have raised their hand "or they're liars" is intellectually dishonest (which is fine for comedy purposes, but this was supposed to be about understanding statistics, and he's just _misleading_ people about statistics). What his later data suggests is that, _in 30% of toilet visits,_ people don't wash their hands. Not that 30% of _people_ don't wash their hands when they go to the toilet.
If someone asked me "do you do X", where X is something I do 70% of the time, and my only two options were "yes" and "no", I'd probably pick "yes". If he had simply asked people "when you go to a public toilet, do you _sometimes_ not wash your hands", I suspect the majority of people (far more than 30%) would have raised their hands.
RFC3514
Because when we enter in a restroom that is full, we leave to return later.
Or we go in to throw trash away.
Or we leave because we noticed the toilet paper stock has emptied.
Or we walked into the wrong one.
Or we walked into a restroom by mistake.
On the other side to this argument, I’m not sure if the study everyone mentions had accounted for these instances. Plenty of times I observe fellow facilities users walk out without washing hands. Also, sometimes people just get the hands wet and dry them off. As if washing was less functional and more a cultural formality.
** Thanks for your commentary. I am spending the next two months brushing up on statistics. It was a pleasure to be reminded how crafty we get with numbers. **
It is interesting that you make that distinction.
But we are also creatures of habit.
I for example always was my hands 100% of the time because it is my habit.
I would assume, that if there was no observer people would be consistent to either washing or not washing, but that its mostly being subject to the whitness of cultural peers modulates this behavior.
@Mr Brightside - By that logic, there's no point in doing polls because you know some people might not tell the truth (regardless of setting), and you might as well just make up the results based on your opinion and call it "science". No, he chose to trade honesty and scientific credibility for showmanship, and misled people in the process, thus doing _exactly_ the thing he was criticising a couple of minutes earlier. And it's not the first time, I've seen him do this sort of thing again and again (and the other guy just keeps quiet).
He could have followed it up with a deconstruction of the example (and explain why it was misleading), thus getting his audience laugh _and_ teaching them something, but instead he chose to manipulate them and pretend he hadn't.
You can't defend science and truth when you don't trust them to stand for themselves (or worse, when you deliberately misrepresent them to make yourself look better and make people look worse).
@Mr Brightside - The fact that you're equating a public talk about statistics with watching Star Wars explains a lot about the state of the world, and the USA in particular.
@Mr Brightside - Do you also not live in the *world?* Let me guess, you "missed" that part of the sentence?
And please explain what exactly I'm "misinterpreting".
You *literally* wrote: _"it's just entertainment, you might as well complain that Star wars is not accurate in some minute detail",_ labelling a public talk on the understanding of statistics as "just entertainment" and suggesting it should be evaluated by the same criteria as a fantasy movie.
To cut a long story short, one can predict nothing, it's all hindsight and nothing we can learn or contribute will change the minds of policymakers

Regarding the hypothesis that abortion has contributed to a lower crime rate, I wouldn't doubt that there is some degree of validity to that. Considering that its statistically known that boys raised without fathers, more often become criminals than the otherwise
Nevertheless, one would be mislead to believe that this would be reason to attribute any degree of value to abortion. Firstly, its obvious that abortion itself is not counted as crime. However, it should be understood that "illegal" doesn't automatically mean truly "criminal"...even regarding criminal law. Likewise, "legal" doesn't automatically mean not criminal. There exists legislation that is, itself, criminal. Some laws as much for prohibiting, as others are for permitting, and as are yet others, for mandating
It should be obvious to any critical thinkers that within "Roe vs Wade", it was prejudicially determined that they would search through the entire US Constitution, in quest of the segment that would be the least ridiculous in presenting as justification for abortion. Even then, they couldn't avoid the ridiculous
It is a person's right to privacy when any act, not done in public, is one that causes no injury and no damages to others nor to their property. In short, when the acts are not criminal. Therefor, when it's being questioned whether or not an act is criminal, it is tautology to predetermine that the act is a right of privacy and thereby justifying it. The justification for the act must first be evident, prior to endowing it with the status of being an act protected under one's right to privacy
Another way to explain it, is that one's right to privacy does not, in and of itself, justify any act. But rather, the acts, if considered relevant to one's privacy, must be justified upon their own merits
To consolidate this understanding, it should be recognized that not one right can be possessed until first, one possesses the right to life itself. Therefor, it is but frivol and folly to say that it is one's natural right, endowed by the Creator, to deny another their right to life
As stated prior, within the calculation of the crime rate, obviously the millions of yearly abortions were not counted as crime. Also, during the period in which there occurred a dramatic decrease in the recognized crime rate, simultaneously, did there occur a dramatic increase in unrecognized white collar crime...resulting in the currently ongoing and ever increasing white collar crime epidemic
We are currently experiencing a profound imposition of an authoritarian police state. The sharp, incremental decrease in the recognized crime rate, was a result of the simultaneous, incremental rise of the authoritarian police state,
The suppression of the offensively less serious crime of civilians, will occur, in exchange for the more serious, criminal offensiveness of an authoritarian police state
Not to mention, the fact that the rulers have done much to manipulate society into criminality, precisely for the purpose of justifying an authoritarian police state
Another contributor to the decrease in the recognized crime rate, was the dramatic rise, during the same period, of the welfare state. A people appeased by gifts are a people less volatile (abortion has become publicly subsidized)
Of course, the government loves government provision programs because they are a direct & unobstructed path to government authoritarianism. Yet, the only cost to them, is returning to the people merely a small fraction of the great prosperity that they've previously stolen from the people
In the future, I will expect a more proficiently effective degree of functional thought processing from the two individuals showcased within this video production
p.s.The bit about discarding one's ethical & moral thinking while considering difficult, controversial issues, was absolutely intellectually horrifying
I hate you
Chuichupachichi Decriminalizing drugs (Washington State and Colorado), even one drug, may also shift the drug crime stats, and therefore crime stats. Abortion of one gender (gendercide of female humans) may be part of the theory. There may be more crime with more female humans. Did any change occur with the higher rate of birth control, as in condoms/birth control pill/shots? Has fertility rates or infertility rates impacted the same conclusion?
+Nell Downey I'm probably more pro-choice, but abortion is a topic I just don't like to deal with very often, but your comment was incontrovertibly horrid. He has an opinion. He's entitled to that. The only thing I have to say to him is that he had an interesting post, but I think they're totally correct that morality needs to be considered based on the facts, so you don't determine something is factually inaccurate despite it just being morally repugnant.
Gendercide is not used for male children in any culture as much as it is for females. So the increase in all social problems, starting with war is not decreased with fewer females.
Very well said

GetPerspective - Putting aside sand storms that will bury your white layer several feet under in just hours, sand & dust are constantly being blown about even at low wind speeds. The white stuff will probably bunch together in hollows, and most of the ground will revert to its original colour. In principle, it's good suggestion, though!

They not going to declare their actual behavior either.
Why do Americans have such problems with abortion? It's not really an issue in Europe and abortions are legal until a certain point in the pregnancy. After that, abortions are only legal if the life of the mother is in peril.
The idea that unwanted pregnancies lead to crime does indeed seem very logical. Why are people offended by this? It makes sense and is supported by the data...
yep, couple that to unlimited gunsupply and you get what has become this great american tradition: the mass shooting.
@@gammaraygem care to point out the data on that? Apparently the guy responsible for staying that narrative by claiming 80 some mass shootings (4 or more in one incident) in the US compared to 200 non-US Mass shootings was never willing to show his research.
The reduction in the crime rate was due to cheap imports from China and the market saturation with tools and electrical goods , with no resale value. If everybody has a TV who will buy a stolen one ?, Add to this improved security in car anti theft systems and the fact children spend less time on the street and more time in their bedroom playing computer games, Nothing to do with abortion rate.
Roland Hawken "Nothing to do with abortion rate." this might've be a bit too bold.

when he brought up lead, I was thinking the same thing.
there's a stat that all people's lead levels went down. Prob becaise while it only goes 50 yards, it can be carried by water, esp rain, and then we drink it.
@@chrisp2481 I am in Baltimore City which reportedly had/has the worst lead paint problem. And in trying to work with people affected, well... it has robbed them of mental capacity. Then there's Flint...
I can appreciate the points they're making, but sidestepping morality ignores its pragmatic value. Unwanted pregnancy and climate change wouldn't happen in the first place if people would choose to act responsibly.
Not having a problem to begin with is always a better solution.
I totally agree that it's better not to have a problem to begin with. However, the advice they have about morality was to TEMPORARILY suspend your emotions when considering a problem so you can let empirical data in. This can have the result of refining your moral code, not erasing it.
Blame Adam and Eve, then.
This presupposes that we all crave for freakiness in the first place.
Maths fail. Squaring a number doesn’t always make it bigger!
Increasing crime rates is no good, abortion too is no good. May be should look into the pre-pregnancy related issues, such as unprotected sex, cultural, media influence, hormone-triggering food. Not getting unintended pregnancy = no need for abortion.

Wouldn't more liberal, cosmopolitan states that made abortion easier to get than more conservative states also be the same states that would be more likely to do things like get rid of the death penalty, have progressive criminal justice positions, more funding for education, etc? There's a strong statistical argument made by people against the death penalty that places with the fewest executions have the lowest crime, and that is true across country-to-country data as well as state-by-state data in the U.S. Would it not also correlate with many other liberal issues, confounding the ability to be certain what's happening?

His crazy idea regarding climate change would not work, because it would immediately affect farming. A lot of people would starve.
why wouldn't the link between abortions and a lower crime-rate simply be: more resources available, less reason to do crime
...
or are we still believing that every baby that is born must a blessing from god..?
The argument has nothing to do with resources.
Matthew Pritchard
which is why i mentioned it
John C
In an age where we can show how the middle class has less and less purchasing power, one needs to show how there are more resources available over 40 years ago, then how that leads to less crime.
The intuitive take is a good idea, but that's what'll need to be shown/discussed for the hypothesis to pan out.
Xain The birth rate was low during the Great Depression. It is now just as low as the Great Depression. We have more resources of stuff and food. We have less resources of a family unit and kindness compared to fertile periods with higher birth rate. That is my take. The stat for childless women is quite high.
Charlotte Fairchild
Mmm....Except the birthrate drop started in ~1960, and has stayed at the low level since ~1970 (Roe v Wade very well might be helping keep it low)...and is actually a continuation of a steady fall since ~1800 with "minor" (when looking long-term) spikes here and there.
That's why I nudged John in the direction of spending power...Because I agree that more resources are available now than ever before...as in they exist. But *access* to those resources continues to steadily decline as inflation rises and things like the minimum wage stay stagnant.
That's my take, at least. The problem is there are probably 9929659292 variables...and we're trying to focus in on the most important ones X-D

I strongly disagree with the suggestion to prevent climate change from these guys, I have a much better one: Let people work at home f instance having home offices) one ore two days a week (preventing misuse of transport, cars), and have one car free day every week (like ortodox sabbaths), and for heavens sake stop using warplanes and bombs (I guess they are the most polluting things we have). And stop measuring a nation's wealth by brutto productivity, then politicians would not proud them selves of wealth due to overspending of goods by the citisens.
