    Key takeaways from the videos:
    - if you learn in order to teach someone else, you learn better than you learn in order to take a test
    - when you are socially motivated to learn, and it can do better than you typically activate when you try to memorize
    - getting more social is the secret to making us a smarter, happier, and more productive,
    - social skill is the multiplier
    - my time with them (social, family, friends) can`t be replaced by the money
    - social connection is one of the best predictors of happiness and well-being, and in contrast, increasing wealth is not a very good predictor.
    Meanwhile, what we do in reality...
    spending more time at the office, and away from family and friends.

    What I said in the talk applies equally to introverts and extraverts, IMO. We are all motived to connect whether its really closely with 2 people or loosely with 500. It takes different forms but the motivation is there for almost all. Also, mindreading is critical whether you try to get along with 2 people or 500. I do not think "more social = extraverted". I think "more social = more connected" and that connection could be with 1 or 2 people. Thanks for your interest!

      That's so lovely! Yes. I'm a huuuuge introvert (and I really understood and saw that this year. Here in Argentina, we've been pretty much in lockdown since March 2020), but I'm also a Highly Sensitive Person, so empathy, kindness, acceptance, humour, even, and overall human connection, are some of the things that light me up and move me the most. Amazing talk, Matthew! I hope you and all your loved ones are safe!
      Best wishes! 🍀

    Yes! No one should be treating themselves with Tylenol. This study was done as a scientific demonstration that something we thought would only help phys pain similarly affects soc pain. High doses of Tylenol are incredibly toxic - deadly. When I get more than 18 min to speak I explain this.

      It's important to take care of your social needs while pursuing valuable goals. Personally, I think finding the kind of job that you want and the kind of partner you want cover's the most of your social needs. Some of us are introverts and highly productive and ambitious, and see too much social interaction as a "waste of time". If we're not going to be together or make money together, then this little chit-chat will result in nothing.
      But hey, I'm a Civic Economist so maybe I just think differently than most people ;-)

    It is easy to isolate in modern society as a means of avoiding social pain, particularly if early social experiences have lead us to fear each other. This is a grave issue which we should address directly by consciously building social experiences in which our social needs can be met and our nature flourish.

I suppose it is possible that my question was dumb enough not to warrant a response, next time I'll comment on OTC disclaimers 4 tylenol!

    this is a perspective of what is nurturing for our being as evolution has programmed and wired us. Holding this view against the non-dual perspective, with although gratitude towards the foundation and conscious awareness of our being and so as to be seeing the world for what it truly is, is the exact letting go of the worldly attachments that is the result. Like the Buddhist view as all suffering being because of holding on, because of being rooted in desire. Self realization is self liberation. Carefully observe the self and see the assumptions that we hold as truth because of easily conditioned nature of our (basal or animal) being.

    I would call the Social mind as Interpretation mind (patternalization of the received neurosignal - saving the pattern with help of cerebellum - saving the outcome from other different minds in response to such a pattern)
    then the analytical mind can get access to these data and make expectation to the end (outcome) of each possible pattern around it. Sociality or experience (collecting the maximal of pattern-outcome coupling) plays a big role in developing the Interpretation mind. Though the social mind (superego or conscious/G) is the memory-mind that saves the full data needed for expectation and judging according to the original repetitive saved groups of Pattern-Outcome chains from the interpretation mind. which i think can be in the limbic system.

    A lot of people satisfy their social needs at their job. There might even be a strong motivation for people who are not able or willing to win a friend or start a relationship based on equality to seek an environment of hierarchies in order to gain attractiveness by success - this might explain the findings about the weak correlation between social skills and leadership. Ultimately, any strive for money or success might be grounded in the need to be a member of a group of higher status.

    Also, what distinguishes rather or not the language used was a conduit/insulator is dependent upon the context(TH-cam;500-char limit), assumptions(following up with a personal message to have broader discussions, for example), and a self-fulfilling projection -- If you already presume, like you state, that we view the world through a particular lens, then it follows we inhibit creative discourse.
    I hope you understand what I am getting at, because the derisive comments were uncalled for.

    It wasn't with reckless abandon, Adrian. I didn't have anything intelligent to say. The tylenol thing is important because people could die if they misinterpret our findings. I don't think the lack of empathy is causing psychopaths pain, but its not my area of study. I don't think I can respond to most of the comments on here, but the tylenol one needed a reply.

    If it is possible to verify such a thing socio/psychopathy may be diagnosable through observing hyperactivity in the anterior cingulate cortex in the absence of external stimuli that would trigger a pain response. If it turns out that antisocial behavior is simply a response to a chronic social pain syndrome, it would be a great win for proponents of restorative justice. Im simply overwhelmed with all of the implications 4 mental illness, drug addiction, autism and other socially debilitating CI

  • @RebDalmas
    @RebDalmas 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    You really have just said that the social world, is controlled by survival, which is what causes a separation from common sense, as that basic physical understanding. This means that the social constructs, economically, are limiting in themselves. We are ruled/word driven by fear instead of being really creative. Being creative means problem solving in practical means. This is much more stable in developing real practical steps that actually get things done, and the words are probably a part of the vocabulary to match. Connection means effective communication. Our social well being is thus determined by our vocabulary development, because it allows us to get the things we need to be a well rounded effectively in the limiting economic construct we allow socially on this earth. Thus our words, when they call out the pain, is our fear of loss in a system that limits through being a construct of survival before life.

    • @johndemeritt3460
      @johndemeritt3460 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Reb Dalmas, I think you've missed something here. Something sociologists understand is that the social world doesn't separate us from common sense: being social creates common sense. The processes of social construction -- or as I prefer to say it, mutual construction of social reality -- is what imbues us with those notions we call "commonsense" or "everyday" knowledge. We don't really "read" others' minds -- we infer what they're thinking from what we observe in their behavior. That ability to make such inferences is based on what society has taught us about what particular behaviors mean, and it's that meaning we react to -- not to the actions themselves. And that's why it's so hard to communicate deeply with people from different cultures or different socio-cultural backgrounds: we don't share their mutually constructed social realities. So what we take for granted is something completely foreign to them, and vice versa.
      Far from social constructs being limiting economically, social constructs make economic existence possible, for without a common framework of meaning, economic interactions have no meaning. Without the social constructs about what economies are and how they behave, trust would be out of the question, and trust is essential to any economic transaction. Moreover, mutually constructed social reality enhances creativity by propagating a shared set of symbols and meanings that allow us to share and communicate our internal understandings. That means two things: first, that when you have an idea others might benefit from, you can communicate it to others, spreading the idea until it finds someone who can use it. Second, when you encounter a new idea, the act of translating it from the written, visual or spoken symbols you encounter actually re-invents the idea: you translate the idea in terms of your shared social reality, which may be different from that of the inventor. So you may end up taking that idea and using it in ways the inventor never thought of. For more on this latter idea, see Rogers' Diffusion of Innovation, where he clearly states that invention and diffusion of innovations is a social process tightly entwined with mutually constructed social reality.

  • @TorinW
    @TorinW 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think the beginning where he talks about social pain and social thinking in the brain is interesting as fuck, I bet if you look into how logical and social thinking are regulated it's tied to the difficulty people on the autism spectrum have with socializing.
    At the same time though, he acts as though the social area of the brain spontaneously activates itself and that compels you to "mind read" or share information with other people, instead of having a motivation that activates that area. I would also guess that because socializing is generally a natural, internalized thought process you have to learn things much more comprehensively to teach a concept, as opposed to being tested on it. Its equivalent to sampling a signal at a rate that's "good enough" to get the gist of the information as opposed to getting an essentially continuous analog signal
    ALSO, I'm pretty sure the word face primes people to see a face because your visual association cortex literally connects words with an image or archetype (i.e. a face has certain features like lips, nose, chin, etc.), not because of how eager we are to interact with others.
    Also ALSO, having to choose between a lot of money and experiencing the 7th year in particular of your child's life is a poor ethos argument in assuming everyone would be weighing those specific priorities, but I still think he has a point, including discussing the importance of socialization with children. I don't have much interaction with school age children to say this with any certainty, but I like to think that replacing social interactions face-to-face with online social media has a detrimental impact on children's social intelligence/maturity/health/whatever.
    Overall I'd still say it's probably one of my favorite TED talks though xD 8/10

    It was an assumption, because it was never stated that I saw the world within that dichotomy which you explicitly state, "Or rather you two have difficult accepting the ideas because you've divided the world into two groups: introvert/extrovert". The initial claim is also an assumption, in the very least because I never made a statement not in acceptance of the video's material. In fact, it was quite interesting; hence my initial "like".

    true that Maslow's "The hierarchy of need" is wrong, as the first thing we really need is social connections! this was mentioned in Quraan 1500 years ago, when Prophet Ibrhim left Hager and her son Ismael in Mecca and he asked God the following: our Lord, I have settled some of my descendants in an uncultivated valley near your sacred house. so, make hearts among people incline toward them and provide for them fruits that they might be grateful. Quraan, Surah 14, verse 37. hence, this is a proof that we human are needing people around us to survive. if you feel different, for sure you have a problem!

    Is it possible that the inability to empathize, sympathize and connect socially with other people is a constant source of pain for socio/psychopaths and that a large part of their behavior could be motivated by a perverted reward system where victimizing other people is in fact a form of self medicating, i.e. stabbing X leads to endorphins rush= dulling of social pain? Is it possible that ur quantification of social pain is the "indescribable urge" that these people feel the need to quell?

  • @adrian508

    Fair enough. Apologies for pulling you in to such an unproductive exchange(and for being an ass about it). Literally the exact opposite of my original intention. Best of luck with it all.

    Getting social.. what about introverts? It's like they don't exist again.

      Hi Peachyblackwhite - although introverts need time and space alone to regroup energy levels, the importance of relationships still applies. I agree it would have been good for it to be mentioned :)

    This is fascinating. But these 'Tylenol cures grief' stories make me worry people are going to start self medicating. Isn't Tylenol very dangerous and easy to overdose?

    I agree. What he argues is that "getting more social is the secret to making us smarter, happier and more productive" (12:46). Personally, I tend to value quality not quantity.
    Even though I do like quite a few ideas he points out and they seem to have positive applications, I see the reductionistic nature of his claims being way too open for interpretations. Such as ones made by extroverted people when they "peer into the minds" (9:12) of introverts and can see only "wallflowers" hipsters.

    That is like saying that nobody is truly ONLY right-handed. These classifications are meant to highlight predominance, not exclusivity. The point that everyone seems to be missing is that his argument is spotlighting the supreme significance that evolution has placed on engineering biological imperatives to be social, and the way that contemporary culture tends to pervert that design. Unless it is somehow the case that introverts dont feel social pain then all of that jive talkin is unnecessary

      MannohneIceman It only works if you're actually interested in what you're teaching. If you're being forced to do something, you wont enjoy it one way or another and negative emotions can interrupt memory.

      Mind is everything, mind has evolved in particular way over the years
      And monks have mastered this mind, they understand how it works
      So they use it effectively, they beat the evolution game, and not all monks live happily
      This talk is for average people like you & me, and something said by someone does not apply to everyone
