The keys to innate intelligence | Lora Lapiz | TEDxWilmingtonSalon
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-05 16:27
Core Argument - The document posits that nature offers a hidden medicine for hyper-awareness, which is often a detriment in a noisy and stressful world [2][3][4] - It suggests that by fine-tuning inner sensory signals through nature, individuals can achieve a state of optimal well-being [4][17] Key Components of Nature's Medicine - **Perception:** Nature expands awareness and builds curiosity, allowing individuals to see possibilities [5][6] - **Purity:** Purifying perception involves removing cognitive clutter and excessive stimulation, similar to how a rainstorm cleanses the air [8][9] - **Precision:** Empathic accuracy, understanding internal cues in relation to external cues, allows for more precise actions and discernment between fear and coherence [11][12][13] - **Presence:** Nature's cycles and rhythms, reflected through mirror neurons, guide individuals to a state of harmony and stability, restoring inner rhythm [14][15][16] Practical Application - The document advocates for stepping outside and engaging with nature as a lifestyle to achieve finer attunement, deeper awareness, and optimal well-being [16][17]
Why Rest Feels Unsafe (And What to Do About It) | Chazz Scott | TEDxWarrenton
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-05 16:25
[applause and cheering] Six months ago, after my divorce, I took some time off to rest. I ended up taking a European vacation, literally for the first time in my life. I found this amazing little flat in Lisbon's cobblestone hills and consulted with a local guide who had a lot of knowledge of the place.Okay, I can't lie to you. I used chat GPT to plan out the entire thing. At last, I told myself I finally have a chance to breathe.Well, that very first morning, I woke up and began sprinting into my routine. ...

You suck. You don't belong here. Why don't you just quit and go home.That voice was loud and clear, but it wasn't a coach. It wasn't a commander. It wasn't an opponent across the field.That was the enemy inside my head attacking me every day as a cadet at West Point. As an Army football player, I was physically tough. And I thought that automatically made me mentally tough.Boy, was I wrong. Because as a soldier, the toughest battle I've ever fought was not in the mountains of Afghanistan. It wasn't in the d ...

TEDx Talks· 2025-12-05 15:49
I went to Washington for college. I arrived two weeks before September 11th, 2001. On that morning, I sat in intro to microeconomics in 8 a.m. class. My professor started the lecture by saying a plane had hit the World Trade Center.I and others thought he meant something like a Sesna, a small plane. When I left class 90 minutes later, the world had changed. People were literally walking home from DC and I could see the smoke rising from the Pentagon.That day and the days that followed led me to pursue a car ...
La emoción hecha canción | Iván Horrocks | TEDxUTNCórdoba
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-05 15:30
La sublimación es un proceso psíquico que concierne a la pulsión y consiste en desviar la energía pulsional hacia metas socialmente aceptadas como la actividad científica o la actividad artística. Freud con este concepto nos quería demostrar que es gracias a este proceso psicológico que la cultura avanza y la persona crea. Y así me pasó a mí.Hace un tiempo conocí el amor. A mis 19 años precisamente me enamoré perdidamente de una chica que luego fue mi novia y experimenté adentro mío una emoción y una energí ...
How to say no to social plans—thoughtfully | Nina Blackshear | TEDxJeffersonU
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-04 18:00
When we think about creating something piece by piece, we usually think of what we can add to create a hole. For example, the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. 481 ft tall, 216 layers, and 2.5% million individual stone blocks. This oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world shows how an additive process can produce a result far greater than the sum of its parts. By contrast, consider the statue of David. Its creator, Michelangelo, used a method known as subtractive sculpture, where material is removed f ...

Business Opportunity & Strategy - Identified a gap in the Indian market for plant-based pet food, despite the prevalence of such companies in the US, UK, and Europe [11] - The company, Fermit, was founded to provide plant-based nutrition to pets, addressing a perceived lack of options and a "propaganda" against plant-based diets by meat-based companies [12] - Fermit differentiates itself by creating "better dog food" that is better for dogs, other animals, and the planet, using plant-based ingredients aligned with international AAFCO guidelines [17][18] - The company focuses on aroma, texture, and familiarity to ensure palatability, recognizing that pets primarily smell their food [15] Market & Environmental Impact - Pets consume over 20% of the world's meat and fish supply, ranking as a top 60 global carbon emitter if considered a country [9] - Meat-based diets for dogs have a significant environmental impact, with one dog consuming a meat-based diet for a year being equivalent to driving a car for 10,000 kilometers [9] - In India, with 30 million (3 cr) pet dogs, the CO2 emissions from meat-based diets are equivalent to 300 million tons [9] - 80% of land used for animal farming goes into pet food production [10] Product & Health Benefits - A study at the University of Winchester with over 2,500 dogs showed that plant-based diets resulted in 36% fewer skin diseases, improved vitamin D levels, and signs of longevity [7] - Dogs are omnivores and can thrive on well-formulated plant-based diets that provide necessary nutrition like fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and omega-3 fatty acids [5][6] - Fermit's products utilize ingredients like blueberries for antioxidants and flax seeds for omega-3 fatty acids, replacing common allergens like milk with tofu and using quinoa for a complete amino acid profile [17] Company Recognition & Partnerships - Fermit is recognized by PETA for providing cruelty-free animal nutrition [18] - The company is backed by the Atal Incubation Center in Mumbai under their social innovation ecosystem [18] - Fermit is associated with the Humane Society International as part of a cohort of companies making the world more compassionate [19]

The Generational Gap | Riddhika Gupta | TEDxSt Xaviers HS
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-04 17:58
Generational Gap Definition & Impact - The generational gap is defined as differences in values, communication styles, beliefs, and worldviews between different time periods, especially between parents and children [1] - This gap leads to children feeling unheard, resulting in anxiety, self-doubt, and the need for external validation [3] - Parents feel emotionally distant and disrespected, leading to frustration, loneliness, and guilt [3] - Over time, love feels pressurized, communication becomes avoidant, and emotions are suppressed [3] Communication & Understanding - A 2024 survey indicates that 72% of teens don't feel like sharing with their parents because they feel misunderstood [5] - 68% of parents wish their kids would open up more but don't know how to start [5] - The core issue lies in communication, listening, and understanding, not just generational differences [6] - Healing the gap requires simple moments like smiles, patient questions, and open-hearted listening [1] Solutions & Actions - Bridges between generations can be built through love and effort, meeting in the middle rather than just agreeing [7] - Children need to recognize their parents' emotional scars, and parents need to understand that children are redefining the world [8] - Both sides need to learn to communicate and understand each other [9] - Change starts with individuals sharing and talking to those waiting to listen [11]
