Please ignore your surroundings right now and become completely absorbed with what I'm saying. I want you to become aware of that moment from your past when you were in love with someone special, perhaps secretly in love. Who was this person. How did this person look like.Where did you meet. Now I want you to pretend something. I want you to pretend that you are 80 years old.And just for today, you wake up in your 20 or 30 year old body.

The Whisper Within: Using Intuition as Your Life's Compass | 陆 希安 | TEDxHTNIA Youth
TEDx Talks· 2025-10-20 16:04
All of us have had a feeling to do something in our lives. A feeling deep within our hearts. A voice or whisper that says, "This is who you are. This is where you're meant to go." Some of us, we embrace that feeling.We accept that invitation. We take that risk. But many of us, what do we do.We bury it. We tell ourselves it's stupid. We tell ourselves it's irrational. We tell ourselves maybe you'll be judged if we try.And so what do we do. We push that feeling down deeper and deeper until one day we wake up ...

TEDx Talks· 2025-09-15 16:47
Core Argument - Authentic self-love fosters individual well-being, benefits others, and transforms society, distinguishing it from narcissism [1] - True self-love involves connecting with one's soul, embracing the past, future, and others, aligning soul, mind, and body [1] - Disconnect between soul, mind, and body leads to disharmony, while alignment fosters self-love and translates to integration of love, community, and economy [1] Societal Impact - Lack of self-love leads to external validation seeking, comparison, competition, and division between love, society, and economy [1] - Economy without morality is a crime, and morality without economy is mere dreaming, emphasizing the equal importance of love and economy [1] - Self-love generates personal growth and societal impact, enabling individuals to love others and contribute meaningfully to society [1][5] Practical Application - Three steps to connect with one's soul: observe emotions, know what you really want, and trust your intuition [2][3][4] - Observing emotions involves acknowledging and accepting feelings without ignoring, expressing, or changing them [3] - Knowing what you really want requires relaxation and spending time in nature away from distractions [3] - Trusting intuition involves listening to the voice of the soul and letting it guide actions [4]

Core Idea - The heart possesses an intrinsic cardiac nervous system, a "little brain," with approximately 40,000 neurons, and its magnetic field is 60 times stronger than the brain's, influencing emotions, thoughts, and perception [1][2] - Intuition, like the self-purifying Ganga River containing bacterophages, filters harmful elements and preserves beneficial ones, guiding individuals even before conscious awareness [7][8] - Cultivating stillness and surrendering to inner wisdom allows clarity and intuition to emerge, aligning individuals with their deepest truths and potential [11][12][13] Supporting Examples - Individuals like Wolf Gang Polly, Jonas Sulk, and Oprah Winfrey experienced moments of intuition that led to significant outcomes, highlighting the power of the heart's intelligence [4][5] - A Zen monk's story illustrates that allowing sediments to settle leads to clarity, mirroring how intuition emerges when mental noise subsides [9][10] Practical Application - Aligning the body, mind, and heart with inner intelligence through practices like meditation or immersion in nature (like the Ganga) can lead to remembering one's true self and potential [14] - In a world filled with noise and chaos, prioritizing stillness and listening to inner wisdom is crucial for navigating life and making decisions [12][14]
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is NOT General Intelligence | Dinesh Maheshwari | TEDxBoston
TEDx Talks· 2025-07-28 16:02
AI Capabilities and Limitations - The industry believes Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is not achievable in the foreseeable future [1] - AI excels in known spaces, utilizing concepts and data for tasks like discovering Newton's laws of motion or inventing the steam locomotive [9][7] - AI struggles with tasks requiring insight and intuition, such as Archimedes' principle, special relativity, or creating art like Leonardo's Mona Lisa [8] Human Intelligence - Human intelligence uniquely enables problem-solving through insight-based learning and intuition, distinct from logic-based approaches [11][14] - Insight allows humans to traverse unknown spaces, while intuition accelerates both logical and insightful processes [21] - Human beings can create value in the unknown space, which machines cannot [22] Future Implications - The industry suggests focusing on human strengths rather than competing with machines, leveraging AI to enhance value in known areas [24] - Human General Intelligence is considered significantly broader than Artificial Intelligence, even with advancements in quantum computing [23]

TEDx Talks· 2025-07-17 17:00
Decision Making & Intuition - The modern world presents overwhelming decisions across various aspects of life [4][5] - There's an increasing belief in "trust your gut culture," with an 85% increase in searches related to gut feeling in the past 10 years [9][10] - Unqualified coaches and conspiracy theorists promote trusting impulses over expertise and deliberation [10][11] - The speaker argues against blindly trusting intuitions due to evolutionary, psychoanalytic, perceptual, and philosophical reasons [14][16][17][19][22] Improving Intuition - Intuitions can be improved through time and hard work, similar to exposure therapy for anxiety [24][25] - Confronting anxieties and insecurities can create room for new possibilities and excitement [25][26] - The biggest mistake is mistaking information for experimentation, overvaluing others' opinions, and undervaluing personal experience [28] - By immersing oneself in new challenges and reflecting on failures, instincts can become sharper [28] - Calibrating intuitions requires testing them against reality to avoid being divorced from it [32] - Trusting your gut is advisable only after teaching yourself what's worth trusting through reality-oriented activities [34]
What Monopoly Shows Us About Our Intuitions | Charlotte Errico | TEDxSaintAndrewsSchool
TEDx Talks· 2025-06-23 15:16
Core Argument - The analysis suggests that relying on data and probability leads to better outcomes than trusting intuition, both in games like Monopoly and in real-life decisions [2][3][14][15] - The report emphasizes the importance of recognizing patterns, understanding probabilities, and managing resources wisely for success [3] - The study highlights that emotions can often override logic, leading to suboptimal choices, and advocates for resisting impulse and embracing calculation [13][14] Monopoly Insights - The analysis indicates that the orange property set (St James Place, Tennessee Avenue, and New York Avenue) is statistically a better investment than Boardwalk due to its higher landing rate [4][5] - The report points out that dice rolls are not entirely random, with certain numbers (5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) appearing more frequently, influencing property prioritization [6][7] - The study suggests that limiting the supply of houses to three can be a strategic move to create scarcity and control, similar to real-world examples like Birkin bags [7][8][9] Cognitive Biases - The analysis references the availability heuristic, where easily recalled events are overestimated, leading to poor decisions, such as overvaluing Boardwalk due to its high rent [10][11][12] Investment Strategy - The report draws a parallel between Monopoly and stock market investing, advocating for analysis and research over emotional decisions, as exemplified by investors like Warren Buffett [14][15]
