Its rather sad to see how so many commentors missed the point - I think all he's saying is that you need to pay attention to the moment that you are in, and that you need to always be expanding your comfort zone. It doesn't matter where you began or where you are now, you can always be adding perceived time.
exactly! time really doesn't exist. There is only the perception of time. .Our perception of time is speeding up. This is why we are aging slower and living longer!!! time is just a way of reminding us that we are mortal!!!
actually, that is entirely bs, maryanne. its not as simple as focusing on whats infront of you, and enjoying the moment. Time is something that actually definitively exists. without time, space wouldnt move, or slowly expand, or revolve around anything. the perception of time, however, is up to the lifeform, the creature doesnt control the perception of time itself, but the brain physically does perceive time. (im sure youve heard of "space and time", to put it simply, how can you have either without the other?) ofcourse im sure you wouldnt argue with the consensus of modern day physicists, unless you have the qualifications and findings to release your own peer reviewed study? dreams are important for understanding time. some people can dream a couple days in a night, some people have lived entire lives in a coma. this can only mean our ability to think can be incredibly fast, (although i believe we would lose the accuracy of our thoughts if we tried to speed up.) that being said, if youre thinking fast time around you would appear slower. when you are having fun, however, time goes incredibly fast. and if you are having a negative experience, time slows down tremendously. a neutral state leads time to feel normal. basic stuff people should all know just by observing the physics around them right? sorry if that were true we wouldnt have religious people...lol. now we know the perception of time has to do with our brain, but everyones brain is different, imagine what kind of nightmare it is to perceive time with adhd, people with adhd cant slow down, ever. not without taking drugs. for someone with adhd, imagine how offensive it would be if you just told them to relax and enjoy the moment, lol. adhd has constant thoughts flowing in positive or negatively, without control. and ofcourse there are many other brain disorders that can cause different perceptions of time, perhaps even in normal brains they all percieve tims a bit differently. anyways, slowing down the perception of time isnt so easily explained by just enjoying the moment. thats something old people want to hear. the best i could do is using a big, loud, ticking clock. I work at my desk on a lot of projects, i give myself work goals, like, try to finish this section before 5 minutes pass, or atleast see how quickly i can get something done, or memorize and learn something. for a task that i usually do casually, a whole hour could pass by, but if im watching the clock it keeps me from getting too relaxed (since i worry about time quite a bit, as you can see, )
@@selfactualizer2099 the point this commenter is making is that the way you perceive time is all that matters to you individually. Yea, time exists, but can you even wrap your head around the billions of years that the universe existed before you? Likely not, so we’re not talking about space and time. We’re talking about our individual perception of time. I have ADHD. Mindfulness is a very important part of my therapy. We actually can slow our brains down with lots of practice. What I find offensive is people thinking I can’t do something because I have ADHD. Although it’s not as easy as stopping and enjoying the moment, it can be done. I’ve experienced time seeming to slow down during periods of my life where I was thoroughly enjoying myself. I’m here watching this video because I googled “how to slow life down”. You just want to be mad about something. Don’t speak for me. However, I do think this idea of filling your life with adventure and never being in a routine is for people who have money. Most people can’t afford to drop their job and go on a bike trip. I can’t even afford a bike.
I have done some travel around the world with great memories, but the routine was killing me later in life. At 56-years old I retired sold my house and relocated to rural Japan in the mountains with my mountain bike for 6-years. Life was just like I was a kid again discovering new things and adventures each day. Routine is the destroyer of time and I have relocated back to the U.S. I now travel between two countries now with my eyes wide open. I have experience what Jedidiah has and the journey continues as have the childhood of learning new things. My book turned into two technical books.
@@whata86 There is never just one reason why I made the decision to U-turn back to the United States but many that lead up to the decision. There are a lot of factors as to why we relocated back to Japan and one of the main reasons for the U-turn was language. I took Japanese classes and can speak basic Japanese, however, to fully function in Japan you have to be able to fully read and write kanji. I read and write hiragana but kanji is most difficult and this became very clear with a major bicycle crash I had ending up in the hospital not understanding all the medical terms or being able to read and understand kanji. Of course, my spouse being Japanese can and we got through that. I realized I was still not good enough in Japanese. Second, was international banking as I receive retirement pay in the U.S. and the U.S. government changed the banking rules requiring a U.S. address to transfer funds. Since I did not have a U.S. address this was a major problem we temporarily worked around using a friend’s home address. That was not a permanent solution. Also, my permanent residence card (green card if you will) was tied to my Japanese spouse and the rules changed. Per Japanese law, if she were to die I would lose my permanent residence sponsor and could be forced to leave Japan within a very short time. The bottom line was both Japanese and American law changes really affected our quality of life over the years where we decided to U-turn and deal only with U.S. law that required reapplying for my spouse's U.S. green card and going through that process again. International marriages come with additional difficulties most people do not see or understand dealing with two totally different sets of laws. If I did not have a retirement from the U.S. it would have made a major difference. All I can say is plan well and expect the rules to change as they did with us.
I think he is right, so basically if you keep experiencing something new everyday, time will go much slower. But its difficult to do something like that in today's world
"But its difficult to do something like that in today's world" is exactly that societal pressure he's talking about: to go to uni, get a house, get a job and boom you're 66 and still not retired.
Whenever we are free, we do something, usually using our smartphones and our brain doesn't get idle even for a single minute. This makes us feel time faster. The more idle the brain, the slower time seems
This is the best ted talk I have ever watched in my life. I tend to think they're pretty bland... hoping I'd find something inspiring. But this literally gave me a new way to live. So thank you!
We don't need to think of tomorrow when we're little. Therefore today lasts much longer. We are only thinking of today. When were older we are thinking of what to take care of for the future so the future comes faster. It's where our attention is.
Great presentation! I would like to support what you’re saying here by adding that from my neuroscience studies I’ve learned that positive expectation triggers the release of more dopamine and more dopamine results in us experiencing time slower.
Definitely we should strive to feed our brains and our souls. I marvel at people that keep up a rapid pace acquiring new knowledge, but there is wisdom in going slower and experiencing things more deeply. Applied to mental health, I can see how faster visual processing beats depression, which can be defined as rumination on old mental images or memories.
How to slow down the passing time? I took a break from my life in 30 and traveled the world for 16 months which felt forever. But my friends when i came back saw it as an instant because they were in their routine. If you are 5 then 1 year will be 20% of your life which feels you lived a lot. And when you are 30 it will be just 3% of your life and feels very short. But I felt the 30th year of my life as 6th year. Time feels to slow down when you are scared. Eg. Any accident you had. Actually you amygdala is over producing memories and in times of fear you have richer and deeper memories and your brain perceives it to be longer but it's not. So your brain studies the experience and figure out the way to get out of discomfort. Eg. Moving to a new city, the 1st week feels forever but then a year just pass. The opposite of fear is routine and want to save energy and find a way to fit into this world for stability (no fear). When it creates a safe line for itself then you don't feel the time passing. So when you get back to your home from a long trip it feels shorter now than you felt forever on the trip which is because of familiarity and same routine. The ages of 15 to 25 people have richer amd deeper memories so that they can recall to the rest of their life. This is the time when everything is happening to you is the first. Youth is only seeking out their identity and it is like a river going somewhere not a pond staying at the same place. You take small steps everyday to discover yourself or having fear to get out of your comfort zone will make the time slower for you to live more in those moments. In youth you have optimism and goals to become someone but when you get to it which doesn't feel like you. Then you stop paying attention to the path, and accept the reality but you should continue to follow the path and go ahead leaving everyone alone. If you keep experiencing something new everyday and you need to pay attention to the moment you are in then time will go much slower.
The past two years flew by. Honestly I remember December 2019 then right when the pandemic started and then a little here and there in-between and lastly a trip I took summer of 21. Like I went from 23 to 25 in two weeks it feels lol

It’s not as easy as you think maintaining a safe space and getting comfortable and finding a good group of genuine real people/friends you don’t wanna find yourself being an outcast and alone
Does it really need to be about travel in order achieve what he is talking about? What about having new experiences at work or having to switch from one job to the other?
Yes, I agree with you. I'm a surgeon and I can relate to this comment so muchhhhh,because of different types of patient and hence impacting different lives differently.
you dont need this video. you need a ticking round clock infront of your workspace, take tasks you normally do, but look at the clock, and see if you can beat your time without losing quality. this has been my method of getting a ton of work done in a few hours. instead of going at a slow relaxed pace. and realizing its two hours later and youre only half way done.
Has anyone tried hypnosis? I read a book on hypnosis many years ago where a child was hypnotized and given the hypnotic suggestion that a metronome in the room was ticking at one beat per second when it was in fact ticking at two beats per second. The child was then asked to mimic eating. When he did so his "eating" motions were twice as fast as they were pre-hypnosis
Your just a kid...33.....wait til your 56....only death will slow down time......last 20 years gone like a vapor......And since I was 26 I knew this would happen.....tried mentally preparing for it but still depressing....can't wait for a new life in eternity....I HATE time.....
Wow, what an amazing opportunity. Women don't have the luxury to do that you did. But good for you. I did take the point of this Ted talk, though. We need more event horizons to look forward to. Routine is the killer of time.
We should make a drug that slows down time, and then a super version that releases when adrenaline gets released that makes you see everything in like 0.25 speed and then a super super version that you inject into yourself which is like 1/25 speed and it lasts like 10 seconds (real time but to you it’s like 4 minutes) Pretty much a drug that makes you super produce memories and pay attention a ton
I am a middle schooler and I am afraid of like time flying too fast. I really afraid of like missing middle school and moving on to high school. Anyone can anyone help me?
Read a book, ride a bike, call a friend, go to the beach, lake, river. Find a hike to go on. Join some clubs. Enjoy, don't worry. Help contribute to the experience by getting involved then you won't miss it as you will live it.
I LV 2SELL I saw this NY license plate. I think the business of buying and selling stretches time. TIME backwards is EMIT. When we try to involve ourselves in EMITTING business we are awake.
And I believe that the discoveries you make are within your safe space your social group you meet trials and tribulations your friends will test you and had people will test you all these things contribute to who your gonna be at the end of the road did you hold onto you good character and values thru all these tribulations while at the same time developing it’s hard to find yourself alone, people and interactions make you stronger in life and they determine whether you’ll be accepted by your group or not... and that’s real fear real development doing what’s right whether it’s sticking up for a friend putting yourself on the line your humility vulnerability for a friend or there to talk when someone’s feeling suicidal facing a enemy while maintains your dignity and wits walking away if you can an if not facing it that real growth that’s digging deep that’s fighting for what you believe in cause you know your friends are gonna be there watching an their opinion matters to you also you should do what’s right for your own integrity if not the world changing and it’s harder and harder to maintain morals and values but these things are truly the testaments of our lives... life’s not all comfort... you’lol face a lot of people that wanna get under your skin that wanna test you wherever you go work etc.. it’s about getting involved as a good person and making it out as a good person, you get scared you think your gonna die... so you jus give up because someone inflicts fear no you fight and that’s life... you dig through that fear and face it.. and say you’ve made it past all those tribulations you can always teach others an stay strong for others cause you never no when someone needs a friend or example, if you haven’t developed through this you might never be the man you wanna become and taking a trip makes it a lot harder if you plan on getting involved anyone can take a trip but the ones that put there heart and soul into their interactions are the ones that risk not making it out alive, it’s easier to stay where your at and become the person you aspire to be then take your trip for the trial..

The child was then asked to mimic eating. When he did so his "eating" motions were twice as fast as they were pre-hypnosis
Awesome awesome awesome awesome
Anybody else watches this every other year? I'm looking to go on a bike ride soon...
Hello time travelers, I’m now in the middle of nowhere in Kansas with my bike 👋
And I'm back from my bike trip across the continent. Watching this video feels like I'm watching it for the first time!
Your just a kid...33.....wait til your 56....only death will slow down time......last 20 years gone like a vapor......And since I was 26 I knew this would happen.....tried mentally preparing for it but still depressing....can't wait for a new life in eternity....I HATE time.....
TREMENDOUS!!!!!
Wow, what an amazing opportunity. Women don't have the luxury to do that you did. But good for you.
I did take the point of this Ted talk, though. We need more event horizons to look forward to. Routine is the killer of time.
Mandatory watching!
marry a bad woman or man and wait for the divorce to be final that will slow it down for ya
When you look back it seems like nothing but you have lived through a long time.
Or a short time. Depends on how you see time.
Reminiscence bump: first connected to identity
interesting guy. Gonna look up his writing
Loved that 💖
Omg I just realized that I read his father's book by Peter Jenkins.... A walk across America
His dad met and married a girl on the trip, remember? Yes, that is his mom.
@@stevensmith1911 Yeah
We should make a drug that slows down time, and then a super version that releases when adrenaline gets released that makes you see everything in like 0.25 speed and then a super super version that you inject into yourself which is like 1/25 speed and it lasts like 10 seconds (real time but to you it’s like 4 minutes)
Pretty much a drug that makes you super produce memories and pay attention a ton
Have you seen Dredd (2012)?
It is the clocks going back and forward new time and old time we are lossing the hour in our metality that could be excelurating time.
Nahh give this man a prize
i would love to have a conversation with him
Time expands and gives ample room for new things but it never appreciates you sticking to a routine. Want to be dead early or expand time a little?
I am a middle schooler and I am afraid of like time flying too fast. I really afraid of like missing middle school and moving on to high school. Anyone can anyone help me?
Read a book, ride a bike, call a friend, go to the beach, lake, river. Find a hike to go on. Join some clubs. Enjoy, don't worry. Help contribute to the experience by getting involved then you won't miss it as you will live it.
Do all that this Summer then in H.S.. You'll be surprised in twenty years all your junior high friends will return at your hs reunion.
Salad Bowl Dress thank you so much
I LV 2SELL I saw this NY license plate. I think the business of buying and selling stretches time.
TIME backwards is EMIT. When we try to involve ourselves in EMITTING business we are awake.

Ullash Podder it's 2 49 am and iam not sure too

Anxiety sucks
I think the time you have will eventually boomerang back. If you can do everything the exordinary can become plain.
Plato's cave now has internet access and the comments are rolling in....
this is the most hilarious tedx talk I've seen HAHAHA
he was away 16 months and not 1 year. Perhaps that's why it felt longer than a year, because... you know... 16 months is longer than a year.
A whole lifetime he said not a whole year.
We have the ocarina.
Who else is here because they have an orthodontist appointment at 4:20 and they do not want to go as soon?
420 🌝☘️
Basically if you keep to the same routine time will feel faster
And I believe that the discoveries you make are within your safe space your social group you meet trials and tribulations your friends will test you and had people will test you all these things contribute to who your gonna be at the end of the road did you hold onto you good character and values thru all these tribulations while at the same time developing it’s hard to find yourself alone, people and interactions make you stronger in life and they determine whether you’ll be accepted by your group or not... and that’s real fear real development doing what’s right whether it’s sticking up for a friend putting yourself on the line your humility vulnerability for a friend or there to talk when someone’s feeling suicidal facing a enemy while maintains your dignity and wits walking away if you can an if not facing it that real growth that’s digging deep that’s fighting for what you believe in cause you know your friends are gonna be there watching an their opinion matters to you also you should do what’s right for your own integrity if not the world changing and it’s harder and harder to maintain morals and values but these things are truly the testaments of our lives... life’s not all comfort... you’lol face a lot of people that wanna get under your skin that wanna test you wherever you go work etc.. it’s about getting involved as a good person and making it out as a good person, you get scared you think your gonna die... so you jus give up because someone inflicts fear no you fight and that’s life... you dig through that fear and face it.. and say you’ve made it past all those tribulations you can always teach others an stay strong for others cause you never no when someone needs a friend or example, if you haven’t developed through this you might never be the man you wanna become and taking a trip makes it a lot harder if you plan on getting involved anyone can take a trip but the ones that put there heart and soul into their interactions are the ones that risk not making it out alive, it’s easier to stay where your at and become the person you aspire to be then take your trip for the trial..
I crushed my bike too, paita naunsa nani kinabuhia.
Tell me how I can fly in fighter jets for free, please?
I know that was random, but flying is incredibly immersive.
This is a very interesting comment
5 years ago, time goes by too fast
Chido.
It is because the amygdala is producing more memories = richer and deeper memories
Time slows down when you're scared (fear causes perception of time to slow down)
just do a plank all day one minute is going to feel like an hour
watched it at 2x speed.......
same lol
Rahi I wanna find my childhood with you❤️❤️❤️❤️☺️☺️☺️☺️
My time limits in thirty minutes I need slow time
i think this is totally pointless time passes quickly always young or old - a fact is that only when you are old enough you realize that time passes quickly - when you are young you are not interested in the passing of time - you have something else to do -
Not true I am now 15 but I started thinking about time passing by since I was 13 and being super upset about it
So this is the guy behind pursuit of wonder ???
The whistle at the end felt like a wailing dog.
ted: if you want to look professional replace your sure's dust cap, the dent is so big it looks bad at 140p
