- In this talk, Damien Balderrama challenges the age-old notion that “knowledge is power.” Instead, knowledge is merely potential power, and needs to be plugged into action in order to power our lives.
Damien Balderrama is an aspiring speaker, author, life coach and love entrepreneur. He has invested the better part of the last decade studying human behavior and psychology, consciousness and spirituality and healing modalities from around the world. He is passionate about holistically integrating the wisdom he has learned into useful mind, body & spirit practices, to reunite others with their authentic power and guide them into the unique mission for their lives.
Damien is currently building the root system for this movement, which he calls Lucid Lighthouse. The cornerstones for Lucid Lighthouse are Education, Entertainment and an Endowment. Education through coaching, workshops and information technologies, Entertainment reinforces the education through music, film/video and publishing. These two endeavors will afford the endowment or philanthropy work, in literacy, elderly and youth services and changing the negative perception of mental illness.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
His concept is correct . You can learn anything , the key is to learn what can be applied in your individual life.
Sometimes, knowledge can be empowering without you trying to use it intentionally.
Example: If you possess enough/ the right knowledge in a situation where someone wants to convince you of an idea/opinion, you can think better for yourself with the right knowledge and even sometimes avoid being manipulated with false information or ideas that are not yours. Knowledge allows you to be less naive and more in control of your opinions which are based on real beliefs and/or facts.
Knowledge can even save lives intentionally or not.
Yes❕
Well, maybe, it's again the knowledge that restraint us from being manipulated by other's thought or openion. Yes, it's not applied literally but somehow consciously we convince our brain cells with the help of the knowledge to show less credibility toward any knowledge that we don't know whether is true or false. In this case, knowledge is applied on ourselves,not on the others.
1.Ask,
2.Answer,
3.Act.
Good one dued, knowledge is true power if we follow these steps
Thanks Le e

Power is power
Ok Cersei
"I understood the reference"
Down Cersei, down girl!
Watch a show called Dr. Stone it shows the true difference that knowledge gives power. It's about this man who was revived from stone and used knowledge and intelligence to defeat the other side which was built with some pretty strong people. While one side had spears the other had just barely built a tank(although they could only shoot it once) it still got the job done if you are interested in this show there are 3 seasons so you don't have to go through the pain of having a one-season show.
Hes saying you can have knowledge, but not using it in action, then it is nothing. Having knowledge and doing something such as mentoring for example, is knowledge in action, the action from knowledge is the true power. Live light and blessings.
If you have Knowledge you got power.
Yep
WRONG! WRONG!! WRONG!!! So many smart people that I love and respect have it all wrong.
Knowledge IS power.
Applied knowledge IS applied power.
The reason you put the battery in the phone is because you KNEW it had power stored in the battery. 😁 👍
Great talk though! For real. ✊💯❤️
"A" path of life's best moments are in the hands of a single choice.
Loved this!!
That’s why I’m asking this,I’m trying to learn new things but I can’t seem to use it
Thank you for this
Thank you very much Mr Damien
Thanks so much for your benefit information....
Ask... Answer... Act
You're welcome.
There is a different meaning knowledge is power because nothing is true but everything is permitted. Because I know but not seek. You never seek the truth but you know what the truth really is.
Thank you!
Knowledge is power, no if.
Amazing 👍
Anyone know where I can find a transcript of this speech?
Nope 😁
Who are some tips to remember this knowledge?
Alexander the Great achieved so much with the power of knowledge
We have a video on that subject
i'm agree with him. Aftler countless time to get knlowledge then look me in the mirror, it was not fair. Seems time i'm apply self restrictions and get over the fence, for litterally everything. I 'd known for but never release the hand brake. I think you should take a working hollidays and met good people, get ride of bad people around you, it's better to stay alone with a few friends. i'm nearly 28 and i never felt so young in my mind, in fact, last time i was looking life in goodway, after hard scholarship and familly time. it was when i was 11 years old.
Very interesting Absolutely 💯 👌 ❤
It's nice
Power is ranger
😂😂
Yes
Anyone else watching stoned af?
No
I think Knowledge is power, atleast it has helped me become smart psychologically I know tricks on how to trick people and how to outsmart people and things and mental hacks and life hacks
How about Knowledge is the instructions on how to receive power. Had you not applied what you learned, it would be meaningless. You think?
1:52 Oh-Yeah-Yhurrrr
You probably 'know' what E equals.
E = MC^2
You don't need to be a Physicist or a Mathematician to know that. It is considered common knowledge by today's academic standards.
But do you 'understand' what it means?
Do you know that if E = MC^2 then M = E/C^2?
Which means there is enough energy contained within the atoms of your average 17 gram Twinkie to meet and exceed the approximate 11 MegaWatt per day electricity demand of NYC!
You can know something without understanding it, but that knowledge is redundant without the understanding.
If you understand that, then you will come to know true power.
Well… I think it depends on how you define “knowledge”. I don’t know if I would call being familiar with the equation “E = MC^2” having knowledge about the subject. There’s gotta be more to it - I believe “knowledge” describes something much more advanced and vast, like whole concepts or a great amount of facts and expertise on a certain topic rather than just a single piece of information.
Oh Ye Yerrrrr
He's talking about it in a different context
The United States military is powerful right? even when they are not nuking people. Knowledge is power even when it is not being applied... you are still powerful because when you need to you can act on it and have more advantage than those who have no knowledge.
Actually the US Army does not need to use nukes to show their Power. They make other countries to take knowledge about the US army power. It's so much better to influent others to avoid conflicts by showing them your Power, not a effective power, but still a power.
People who are here for the public speaking.. I see ya 😂
Is knowledge power? Answer is no. Knowledge is power, is it true? The answer is no, it is not until you apply knowledge to get something in life. Knowledge is not power but action with knowledge is power or better said knowledge with action is power, think before you act but act and not just think and act after you think.
If I’m the only one who lets say knew how to make weapon in a town. I’d be important since I’m the only one that can make weapon. Yes, Knowelde is power and can be powerful is used properly.
Knowledge is power. If it is not i do not believe that you have any knowledge. Knowlege is not information.
I am Sustainable Planet. What do you mean knowledge is not information? That’s exactly what knowledge is
Knowladge can't In it's own ever be power. Only what you can do with the knowladge is power. Otherwise every computer and search engine is more powerful than humans
Knowledge is noledge
☺
Semantics
I suppose most of life is perceived through the meaning each of us give to it.
I think his point wasn’t really about the semantics, just that you have to actually do something with your knowledge instead of simply learning. Being a scholar is good but doing nothing with what you’ve learned is useless.
I don't know man, he just pisses me off from how he talks... maybe I'm just mad today...
(EDIT: ahh, now it all makes sense. He's a salesman. :D)
Hey Nido, I appreciate your honest comments. I'm always trying to get better at everything I do and I'm curious to know what it is about like speaking style that makes you mad? I'm no longer in a sales position, yet, all of us are in some way or another AR trying to sell something.
so is knowledge power?
knowledge is potential power. application of knowledge has the chance of unleashing that potential into actual power. for instance i learnt english a long time ago in school.and today we are able to converse for we both know the language. this makes us more powerful than those who cant speak or understand english. :)
Knowledge is power... for the record... this guy is just made his own philosophy... he just put a step in between knowledge and power...
Power is power.
Again ted talk🥺🥺🥺
Is knowledge power? Google is God.
your comment is wrong its knowledge is power
Please don't come back
Lol. Why is everyone spoken to like children on here?
His outfit is awful
This is postmodernist thinking that is highly flawed!
You're reasoning against reason? er..
One of the main purposes of free speech is to protect knowledge.
How else can you make informed decisions about anything?
