- A new wave of identity politics that is being indoctrinated into universities is causing political tribalism and is adding a toxic and divisive elements to social issues that need to be soberly discussed. Regardless of skin color, upbringing, class or gender, one should be able to discuss every issue. Open sober discussions around social issues it the way to move forward, since the large issues the world is facing now are global, and if everything is viewed through the lenses of identity politics, we will not be able to solve any of them. Sigurd Gotaas Brekke is from Oslo, Norway and is currently doing his master degree at SOAS in International Studies & Diplomacy. Previously worked in London for a mobile technology company and got a Bachelor in Business and Management. After his studies he would like to pursue a diplomatic career. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
“Colleges must be safe spaces for thought, not from thought”. Amazing.
An excellent and worthwhile topic of discussion. Glad you’re tackling such a touchy issue. We must not let fear and oversensitivity block us from having important conversations that, although uncomfortable, can help us build bridges, develop greater social empathy, and inform effective public policy. Bravo, well done.
That's why we cannot let facts get over feelings
The point is that extreme forms of identity politics are very discriminating themselves. Hypocracy at its finest.
This video is really underrated
This only has ~7K views bc it’s not a trendy perspective but this is a very well put together presentation.
It's very simple just identify as a human and everyone has the right to life liberty and happiness
You are right except for happiness. You do not have a right to be "happy".
@@UpperGroundNGU forgot to add persue because I can't spell it
@@justin1martell the pursuit of happiness
@@UpperGroundNGU I'm a little late, but happiness doesn't necessarily translate to literally happy, I do not think. Just the same as "well regulated militia" does not mean that the government must create extreme regulations with gun laws in the US.
The message of this presentation was well formulated and should be widely discussed and embraced in society, especially nowadays! Instead of striving for personal identity recognition people should have discussions about "universal" recognition in which the dignity of every person is upheld...
These are the types of videos that should be recommended by youtube algorithm
Thanks Ted for this. Common sense is great to hear.
This video deserves more views.
Perfectly put together - great job! Hope this goes viral at some point! Share it, guys!
Wonderful!
Great video!
Very inspirational!
excellent presentation. How nice to have an outburst of common sense!
Great work. Facebooked.
Did I just hear him copy *Sam Harris*?
He used identity politics at 7:10
This guy is a whole meal👏👏👏
this kind of suggests that most of human culture hasn't always based on us and them.
Our team is seeking a new member and today I was told by HR that’s fine but we must hire a woman - the problem is that there aren’t that many female software engineers :/ nevertheless, the job-ad doesn't mention that discrimination - it makes me so sad to conduct interviews with qualified men, but we are not allowed to hire them... Welcome to Europe in 2021
either you are telling bs or you need to report the company. Hiring based on identity is illegal in europe
Fix the wreck
Vote for Shrek

This speech partially copies Sam Harris's thoughts on this topic word for word. At leas have the decency to present the idea with your own words.
Brilliant
19 offended people disliked the video
Disliked cause the plagiarism of Sam Harris :/
He is handsome.
It's hate politics.
I know one person who is not white, and that person agrees with all of this, so there you go, it's impossible that there's a probably with this guy's logic.
Identity politics has the same sense like communism.
It's collectivistic. So communism necessarily falls into the same.
I wonder what the fascist down votes are on this one?
living in denial!
Really having a hard time understanding this speaker. Terrible diction.
That is only you
Ummmmmm... suspect
Why?
