How Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google manipulate our emotions | Scott Galloway

The combined market capitalization of Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google is now equivalent to the GDP of India. How did these four companies come to infiltrate our lives so completely? In a spectacular rant, Scott Galloway shares insights and eye-opening stats about their dominance and motivation -- and what happens when a society prizes shareholder value over everything else. Followed by a Q&A with TED Curator Chris Anderson. (Note: This talk contains graphic language.)

    Amit Gupta Not really. Brightest of minds are still working in fields like astrophysics, rocket science, literature, arts etc. These fields benefit a lot from our stupid consumption whether you believe it or not. How do you think NASA gets funded? Through taxes. How do government get taxes? Through our production. Why do we produce so much? Because the demand is there.

    One thing he unfortunatly didn't mention in the interview in the end is: We humans tend to project human traits on non human entities. We like to believe that a company has an conscience, empathy or anything like that. In fact, a company is a machine that optimizes any process. Eg evading taxes, producing where labor laws are not as strict, etc. COMPANYS ARE NOT HUMANS, NOT OUR FRIENDS OR EVEN AN AQUAINTANCE. There just a lifeless entity.

    I have to admit, I've also been caught up in the "Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google emotional appeal." They've done a great job branding themselves. I am more likely to support less regulation and less government influence in those companies than with other for-profit companies. I think that's changing now, though, because they've established themselves and the innovation has leveled off. In the beginning, they were a completely new thing, but now they aren't and they should be treated like any other company. Special consideration should be given to companies that are new and innovative so they can build themselves into a position where they can begin to pay back what has been given to them. Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google are at that point now.

    The fact that he had to repeat the message is clearly laying out his intention and focus of the talk, and a host bowing out blindly to what the speaker has exposed would only make his credibility more shallow. It's not like anyone will read this message, but the stance the Q&A man did was indeed necessary, and fair by all means.

    I will say this because of the video, it will make you think and want to say something. With great power comes great responsibility. Money is not everything, and love for humanity needs to find its balance back into all people. I am a firm believer in if you work hard, you will go places. We cannot blame those who took their stand in these areas for their actions. We all as a whole have been taught these mindsets and principles and have forgotten the most cherishable ones of all. Love for each other. This video should make you see the future holds a lot of AI job positions, leaving millions upon millions of people won't need to be hired. With this, these companies surely have the lead, influence, and power to help change, shape, and direct these new jobs. If they do not, they will no longer have jobs of their own because nobody will have the money to pay for their items. But we also have the power in choosing to help promote them on or demand for changes necessary to help us all move forward. If nobody takes a stand or makes any changes, the effect will be too much-damaged economy for anyone to truly fix, for the chaotic mess alone will be merely impossible to measure or control. Perhaps you do not see my point, but connect the puzzle pieces and you see if we do not come together to help one another, the primary survival mode we have been taught will kick in, 'Survival of the fittest' God | Family | Love is the key :)

It's just ads and webpages, and they end up influencing many others to pursue the same. I find it very sad when I see smart people and whole companies and startup's entirely dedicated to developing webplatforms/apps because it's just easier and profitable.

    Can anyone find provide some references for his statement that the number of people a person loves is the most important predictor of making it to over 100? And his statement that: “Children with poor nutrition but a lot of affection have better outcomes than children with good nutrition and poor affection.”

    He spends the most time talking about the consequences of facebook/google/amazon being as big as they are. The "how" is just the first few minutes. Not complaining though, it's an important message.

    Even this video is also hosted on youtube a platform provided by Google. So it is also to be mentioned that these companies create value for the people. It's not bad to grow or at any length but the intentions must be right and values of humanity must be honored.

    The blame rests with the consumer. Consumers repeatedly fail to exercise their power in the marketplace. You get manipulated because you allow yourself to be. The same goes for politics. We can blame systems all we want, but all that does is deflect and try to shift away the responsibility from where it really exists. It's easier to find a scapegoat and blame the boogeymen, or some conspiracy, than it is to look in the mirror and examine yourself and your own choices. The systems are not some abstract that ideologues would lead you to believe. Systems are people. The systems don't function without your input. Data is one of the most valuable commodities of the modern age, why are we giving it away for free? People are the commodity and we are basically giving away the farm for nothing in exchange. An illusion, a psychological hit, that like any other drug, always leaves you coming back for more. That's all you really get. The entities amass billions and you are left with nothing that has physical, tangible, buying power in the marketplace. You can't go to the store and try to trade all those likes you got on social media for some products. But the data these entities harvested from you while you use their services definitely resulted in pure capital for them. The "free" services you are being offered, by various social media and related platforms is in no way properly compensating you for the data you give them in return. And it's this data that has given these entities the power to become as powerful as they are. As long as consumers passively engage without pushing back when it's obvious you're being used, nothing will change. The various web platforms and social media are tools, very useful tools, that can be used to enhance our lives. But the less engaged we are, and the more passively we use them, the more they are being manipulated towards goals that are not in our best interests. These platforms undergo continuous changes and shifts that do not consult the user. If the people are the primary commodity, or product, than they should share in the design and forward goals of these mediums, and ultimately, the profits. It definitely isn't working that way right now, but that's only because the users of these mediums allow it. If they keep shifting these platforms in ways that abuse you, yet you continue to use them, then you only have yourself to blame.
