TEDxZurich - Molly Crockett - Drugs and morals

- Does your sense of fairness depend on what you ate for breakfast? Can Prozac influence your judgment of what is right or wrong? How can we encourage people to care about the welfare of others? Molly Crockett's research addresses these questions. She believes that understanding the brain can enable us to design environments that promote cooperation instead of selfishness.
Molly Crockett, Neuroscientist
Molly Crockett studies the neurobiology of morality and altruism. Her research has taken her far from her native Southern California, where she studied psychology as an undergraduate at the University of California, Los Angeles. Molly's curiosity about brain chemistry led her to the University of Cambridge, where she completed her PhD in neuroscience as a Gates Scholar. Now she collaborates with economists at the University of Zürich and neuroscientists at University College London.

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)
How about a third option with the trolley question: throw myself in front of the trolley, thereby saving the five workers and the man with the brief case.
imagine! un leaders popping molly before meetings.
Jean-Paul Steinberg fucking awesome
Fantastic
HA her name is Molly. That's awsome
Ahmed AlNaser
Haha great to point out, had forgotten what Molly also means :)
she was born to do this research
To all ppl scratching them heads.... Molly was the name of the first cloned sheep
Yes great talk and yes since the 80s with MDMA it is possible to have very positive interactions which have a lasting effect.. The feeling of Empathy created from the drug works to help resolve most of the issues mentioned in the video !! Magic mushrooms and other psychedelics work also when taken in the right set and setting ! Nature has many ways and means to set the tables straight...
She's passionate. Let her be.
The picture of a tram is taken in Bratislava (Slovakia), exactly where I live, such a coincidence!!
Andrej Kubík we should be pen pals
I read this comment exactly when the tram appeared in the video. What a coincidence!!
I was wondering where the tram was from, because it looks exactly the same as the trams in Prague.
I feel like this should have blown up more than it has.
Someone try this content again. Same thing, different package. That guy with the pencils maybe
Who else thought she was going to cry at the end?
Good job, Molly! ☺️ You were nervous but you pushed through.
This is among the best TED videos that I have ever seen.
Wonderful woman!
She's perfect.
first question on Bleu Cheese reminds me of Amanda Palmer's funny song about Vegemite. tongue-in-cheek when she was dating an Aussie. The acoustic practice session is funnier than the live performance.
Interesting video. I imagine there are great potential gains to such theories but I also imagine others considering using the lessons learned here to manipulate opponents.
this whole talk is based on the assumption that a human being is the result of countless random and relatively meaningless events. she assumes that conflicts are solved by relativating their meaning. (sic)
if she could consider a human being as a complex well balanced system, than she probebly would draw different conclusions from the effects of dilibrate chemical distortion of such a system. she might even ask hersef in how many cases the poisoning of the mind by drugs and other chemicals actually causes destructive responses to a situation of conflict
cx0746 cx0746 I don't think she's suggesting that everyone should pop pills before an important meeting I think her point was just that certain drugs can help to alter deep-rooted preconceptions of reality to be in an open minded state.
i was thinking perhaps we should serve high-protein tryptophan-laden banquets at summits & conflict resolution meetings ... just a thought!
touching.
Interesting stuff but she got a little sappy at the end.
Of course a lot of what she says makes sense, the problem is that this line of thinking can easily be stretched into thinking that morals are relative and ultimately irrelevant.
There needs to be a balance between rational thinking and moral awareness.
Further more the example she gives is far to complex and religiously inspired to serve as a useful example. In that case an aggressive religion is the cause of getting stuck and blatant refusal to move even even the smallest bit.
she is on fire. ;-)
you lost me at the part where you didn't say "... and then we took our results to researchers at reasonably respectable state university medical school, where they were able to replicate our findings."
They’ve never even replicated their findings on antidepressants and antipsychotics
If you set up the dilemma that way it's pretty clear that pushing him is wrong. In that situation you throwing yourself on the tracks would have the same result, if trading a life for five is you're choice you are then presented with an actual moral dilemma(I think this one is crappy because it would never happen). If faced with the choice to kill someone else or yourself in order to save 5 others, what would you do?
is it moral is give someone drugs to chnage thier morals?
I don't want to chnage thier morals, thier morals are the best kind.
Depends on circumstance
***** I think the point isn't so much that one set of morals is more correct than the other; it's just the fact that they are changeable and open to manipulation. If drugs or diet can alter or moral reasoning, then our morals aren't as fixed as we might imagine. Accepting that fact might allow us to be more open-minded and flexible, as we understand that our own decision-making processes are fallible. And we might be more careful before acting on them.
simon fergus no study can be done without the subjects understand what will happen and their safety is assured. they knew well ahead that they would be taking substances that would change their thinking and they agree to it
some moral values shouldnt just be let go...... although theres alot of bad people in the world theres also a lot of good people and some of them have done alot of good due to the conviction of thier moral values. I understand strong moral values lead to bad things but they also lead to good things, we should let people be people and if we want change we should do them through dialect and debates not pills...
The abortion portion isn't a good thing to use my opinion but an unborn child verses cheese isn't the same. Not that I am for or against abortion.
Moral enhancers? Just offer some hash brownies before heading to the negotion table.
Seruously: if these pills just help you emphasize and see common ground more easiöy, fair enough. If they only acquire a reputation of making people cede their position more readily, I doubt that protagonists would inflict these on themselfs
The answer is at the victim how painful when they didn't have the voice to say it.
If I jump in front of the trolley, they all live.
Could the changing morals be due to lack of a universal principle? Such as the non aggression principle (NAP)? Cuz if you're basing your morals on religious principles they'll always change as religious principles are contradictory.
The 'lifeboat' scenario w/ train is a false dilemma as there is no context, also one would be initiating force if the pushed someone in front of train. Which negates that option if using the NAP.
***** Amoral is I like chocolate, you like vanilla. No right / wrong just personal preference & not having to do w/ ethics. Please explain how murder, rape, theft can be amoral/ moral myth. Some actions are moral/ immoral, unless you're a psychopath. See link for more

***** so you're saying there's no such thing as right or wrong actions? wow, what's that like having no ethics?
***** why couldn't you have said that to start with? glad I'm not in your circle of 'friends'.
***** moral nihilist because there's no freewill & it's all neurochemical, etc or something elsbbbbbbbbe?
where is molly today ? I like her a lot ..
She confuses emotional response with moral reasoning
Being on TedEd does not legitimize her claims on the topic
I respect her opinions because thats her right. But i beg to differ....
Equality and unfair with the fairness to all colors?
Purrfectly presented idea N consideration task if not hypothetical experiment.
Found truenorth n knew of them in Bjork video. That is a story addresses the matter as I get it. Not go down welL... If..welL map makers legend N I Am Legend as direction N the key... fixed morals... "Only if gor a night "
Drug-induced co-operation: a vision similar to Huxley's Brave New World. The experimental data was rather slight, though.
I wish she would take some pills and stop obsessing on hate and fear.
For example the boy who very short and the boy who is so tall and the world want them both to see the view behind the wall then trump give them both the same size same height of the box to them but the tall boh doesn't need to use the box he already see the view behind the wall because he saw it must standing next to the wall but the short boy after he used the box to stand on it and still he didn't see any veiw at all . now u know what I try to point to u?
Of course this is all logical...but you're not incorporating the notion of our Human BioGenetic Biome....which makes our Serotonin/Dopamine for example too....based on foods, etc.
and you are the master of universe to judge her !!!!!! you could speak for 20 minutes in front of many people like a GOD with chillest attitude ever, right? you are painful to read, if you want some feedback.... ;)
I believe that is found in Turkey.
I really like blue cheese .
Yes there is!! But them who need b there important enough to step in N cause instead of prevent. They r needed too. When. I blame them. :P "it's beyond my control." some personal biases as social cultural traditional patterns if them presented as variables
interesting but what she calls 'moral values' seems quite simplistic... how the hell do you go from an hypotethical question to the Israel-Palestina conflict?
She's ANXIOUS as hell! Stressed out to the max, mouth dry as scorched cotton. Painful to watch. Should've taken one of them Prozacs.
Kinda dragged out.. talk didn't need to be so long to get one simple point across...
If u want to harm one in this 21 century let it be o my me OK
Does your sense of fairness and right from wrong depend on your wallet? I'd day yes yours does.
Non
"COULD be shifting" huh? so you don't know. cripes.
Apart from God, you cannot be a moral person. He is the unchangeable Morally Just Creator of the heavens and earth.
So yes, a non believer can choose those acts which feel right. Or base their morals on perceived good/bad. But a person without God is morally bankrupt. It is why Jesus came, to make the impossible possible.
Of course I would never marry a blue cheese hater!!
Can science tell us whether homosexuality is a moral issue or not?
Depends how one defines "moral issue", if its something that can harm/do good to oneself or others then i think answer is yes.
Wow this is awful. Giving drugs out in studies for no reason isn't illegal yet? So much absurdity.

+Erich Doll How are we ever going to learn about them
:-) Oh dear, this sweet, and oh so earnest young lady, actually believes the "rhetoric". She would have been there, offering Tony Blair a sweet before he went into the "talks" about the Iraq war. That decision, like all the rest of them, had been made long before, around a board table, and if Tony hadn't agreed to it, his prosecution for sexually deviancy, pursued under his middle name, would have been revealed, and he wouldn't now be a millionaire. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, my dear. . . oh dear!
