The whole video can be summed up as: 1. Challenge your beliefs 2. Question your assumptions 3. Stick to the facts If you want to bank on feelings - rather bank on curiosity and a motivation to learn the truth/ build clarity than investing in the comfort from confirming one’s bias or understanding. A very relevant message in today’s time of social media feeding more of what we know/ want to see/ agree with.

I've always presented this idea in terms of the trial lawyer vs the detective. The job of the detective is to find the truth. The job of the lawyer is represent the client. Two very different games. When we are driven by ego we deploy our lawyer self to play the legal game. When we are trying to solve a puzzle we deploy our detective self to play the mystery game.

What

Thank you. The topic was well presented and shed some light on how it affected a whole generation. As a boy growing up in the shadow of WWII, the people in charge were veterans of that war. They also had a mental mind set that categorized EVERYONE/EVERYTHING immediately. Once someone or thing was 'labeled', there was no changing their minds. Your "soldier' analogy was enlightening and accurate. Those men had to make a decision and act on it right away or they would not make it home. Once engrained, that thinking is not very flexible, believe me. I admired those men for what they did, but those awful years braking that terrible grip their prejudice had on this country was a scare on both generations felt to this day by survivors. I have noticed a revival of that kind of thinking lately, only it is not based in a cause like defeating fascists', but in self righteousness based in ignorance fanned by ill intent egomaniacs.

Another important bias to confront in addition to the one mentioned in the talk is Naive Realism. To play off the speaker's metaphor, naive realism involves believing that you have a scout mindset when you really still have a soldier mindset. It is the universal tendency for people to believe that they see the world objectively and that their viewpoints are therefore automatically correct, even when they're perception may be biased and incomplete and they have made no attempts to investigate whether their viewpoints are truly supported or not. Naive realism compounds the soldier mindset by leading people to deny that they have it.

I'm inclined to believe you. However, it's important to acknowledge that there are certain steps that one needs to go through to be objective. If you actively and successfully engage in these steps, you can claim you are being objective. If you don't, then you can't claim that you're being objective. Simply believing that we're objective, or even having an intention to be objective, is not a reliable indicator that we're actually being objective, because beliefs and intentions are subjective. An example of these steps would be making sure to read an equal number of articles that agree and disagree with your viewpoint, and then listing one strength and one weakness for each.

This explains many of the modern day cultural and communal conflicts. Amazing insights!

I call it "mind inertia" - it is very hard for the mind to change direction, especially about things rooted in us (fundamental believes): it's much easier to fight any idea that's trying to change the course of our life, than accepting our entire life is based on a lie and rebuild it. The first stage of grief is denial, and parting from important parts of our personality is like a death. So, mind will do everything to continue in the direction it was going rather than be derailed and crash.

So true, detachment from all things including our believes and traditions ,helps us to evaluate every situation or characters we encounter with an open minded , less judgmental and understanding approach.

The topic of having an open mindset is very needed for parents and kids relationship, where old thinking and insisting on proving an old mindset is right prevents acceptance of new ideas. Thanks for the talk. 👏

Motivated reasoning: Inductive reasoning (theory as premise and work backwards), cognitive bias (apophenia) and interpolation (rationalisation). Soldier Mindset: fear and disgust/amygdala Scout Mindset: empathy and curiosity/anterior cingulate gyrus

This should be one of the most recommended videos on any platform.

The ego convinces us we are right when deep down we know we're wrong. We need to find faults in ourselves as a daily habit to overcome this and the key to want to do something as strange as that is to push ourselves to love everyone. Love is an eye opener (real love, not lust, which is blind, as the saying goes). Why love everyone? Because when love opens you're eyes to truth, you will find you become more free, happy etc. Love for all, hatred for none.

I don't think each person is tied to a single mindset. According to the rubicon model of action phases, people switch from a "scout mindset" to a "warrior mindset" after making a decision. It actually helps follow through with a goal if we don't question them all of the time. Only if there is strong reasons to change our mindset, we switch back to the open mindset.

Great presentation and illustration! Inspiring, insightful, easy to understand.

We also need to learn to not be so aggressive when correcting people to not pursue a topic so hard but know when to let go.

That was the best outlook I've heard in a long time. I wish everybody could see things this way.

This is the very foundation of the scientific process, without the scout mindset the scientific method has no legs. Meaningless and potentially harmful results can occur. Balancing and weighing evidence truthfully can be difficult, but as long as you remain committed, you are still seeking truth. It's notable that she states a willingness and acceptance to be proven wrong isn't tied to IQ or status. Truth seeking is a mindset. This was a great TED Talk and reminds us why stoicism is a simple, fair, and powerful approach to life. Seek real facts. Don't agrue fact on speculation. Keep your mind open to new evidence and weigh it fairly.

Wonderful mind, brilliant communicator, inspiring young lady, well done!! Thank you🤩

Her analysis is dead on.

One of the biggest barrier I see is that, we tend to associate with those idea we've been preaching for years. And denying them feel like lacking of consistency and like people won't trust us anymore

Awesome talk! What's funny is being open, and willing to change your mindset, is itself a mindset, that may be difficult for some to ever change.

Do you understand what 'one of the best' means? It signifies that the presentation ranks highly among the ones the original commenter had seen. I'm curious, if you believe one needs to have seen all TED Talks to make a claim about one being among the best? If you have a different perspective or if there's a particular TED Talk that you favor, feel free to share. I'm having a bit of difficulty understanding the intent behind your question about whether someone has seen all TED Talks. Given the vast number of talks, it seems more reasonable to ask how many the commenter has seen. In my opinion, expecting anyone to have seen 'all' TED Talks is a significant expectation and, realistically, the response will likely be 'no', especially considering your question was asked three years after the original comment was made. In that timeframe, many Ted talks have already been held.

This is the most important TED talk I have ever listened to. I have summarized it so I can review it every morning for some time until I own it and become the open minded scout that I think I want to be but know I am not. I want to remembered for my good judgement rather than my liberal biases.

Hey Julia, this video got me onto your channel, and I've watched a few videos now. I just want to say thank you for discussing such thoughtful topics, and I always feel like I'm slightly more clever after listening to what you have to say.

it's an amazing presentation.. I just shared this video to a friend of mine who think curiosity hold us back :)

Wow, I never heard of such opinions. Would you share how exactly he thinks curiosity holds us back?

@@luism7824 you're probably right. If we're curious enough, eventually there's no room for the so-called "god" to exist.

I hate marijuana and anyone will change my mind.

Excellent speech and clear observation.🥰👍

Awesome! Love it. Thank you.

Very interesting insights into what is perhaps our biggest challenge as modern humans.

I hope this young lady has a major leadership role in the country.

Way of presentation so nice, Julia.

Well stated and logical. Thank you
