We live stream our conference around the world and our theme is ‘Reset’ and the exciting programme includes brilliant speakers, and stunning student performances.

    About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    One of the best and most important TED talks--because SO many people believe these myths (in fact, even though I like to think I purged many myths from my brain, such as the "only 10% of our brain" myth, I believed the Milgram one toward the end). Glad I watched.

      “I was doing it for the greater good” is essentially indistinguishable from “I was just following orders”. At the end of the day, those who continued to “shock” the “victims” even when hearing them cry out for it to stop, failed to have strength of character to stop, and that’s the important lesson from the study.

    This is really good..and actually really funny. I don't understand why the audience isn't laughing during the presentation. Maybe they recorded it with an audience filter? Mistake...good information well presented.

    The reason so few viewers (of this video) gave a thumbs up/down is because it made them think. Therefore they were distracted. But it could be a myth.

    Just curious did they use a topographic map? I love those. In boy scouts if I didn't know how to locate mountains. I would probably not be here

    I get it if he’s nervous, but he should’ve practiced more and paced himself. Way too fast, acts way too nervous, and it makes it hard to listen to him.

    70% of English teachers in my school are left handed,ever think about that? It’s not that much of a myth at all

    For each claim he made, there are so many contrasting evidences to his claim. It's like he's trying to simplify things down to whether "it's true" or "a myth".

    • @salmahyenasashimicheetah6888
      @salmahyenasashimicheetah6888 4 года назад +2

      As with many things in life, ESPECIALLY in the natural world issues are very complex and nuance is absolutely required when talking about them, however I suppose it's also true that given their[The presenter's] limited presentation time, he has to take some liberties...
      Either way, videos like these should NEVER be taken at face value because secondary sources are always less accurate than the primary ones.

    • @kevinkim2963
      @kevinkim2963 2 года назад

      Absolutely agreed. The presenter made his claim about the Rorschach Inkblot Test based on just one controversial research paper (the guy himself didn't even take the test). Go check the video on TED now because they changed the title to 9 myths of psychology debunked instead of 10 as they got rid of the Rorschach part. Pretty sure the other 9 are controversial as well.

    I like this doing phycology myself now after I've learnt about nuro science and spiritually the talk of the left and right side of the Brian doesn't seem to be correct here. If just looking at phycology your just looking from a veiw to better your life as you no it not of what it could be. Saying that this seems correct to the theories on phycology

    Talk so fast it is hard to register anything, you always miss something. Added to that, the same format of 'you think this, but its myth haha' is too repetitive, too bad, because this idea could be worked out really interesting

    Very weird guy talking about irrelevant things, myths that actually no one defends on psychology. Who are skeptics talking to? Are they afraid?
