We have been focussing on work and a society which rewards the traits of the mentally ill, the psychopaths and sociopaths. This kind of society really doesn't benefit mankind. It uses resources at a very wasteful rate and produces things of very little net benefit. What is needed is a shift towards the goal of healthy minds, one which doesn't cause a mental health crisis and facilitates the use of habits which are legally and morally reprehensible. I would like to see a shift away from success being defined as who has the most money or objects and towards a more productive and beneficial society
Society rewards the traits of psychopaths because they play the society, they realize what game society plays and plays according to it, It has always been this way, the people who refuse to play the game of society and result in having no money or power to change things for what they thinks should be done, are exactly the ones who enable their behavior. Play the game, or stop pretending to know how to do it.
Isnt it funny majority of people work against their goals without realizing it? Some people think the world is full of hypocrites, but I think most of them are so unaware they fail to see how they are part of the problem by doing what ever they are doing. Psychopaths actually go for their goals, problem is just with the goals being self centered. But what is the reason almost no one actually does the work if the goal is "good for society"? Well the answer is pretty obvious, people dont actually care. YOU are your enemy, and THEY are your enemy, guess who wins?😅
@@symix. That isn't what the OP was talking about. As we're moving closer to a tipping point, it's time to wake up from the shallow delusion that money is the most important thing.

I completely agree. Though, I would add narcissistic traits to your list. You remind me of Erich Fromm. Particularly his book “To have or to be” published in 1976.
One of the things that I laughed at nowadays when someone said proudly that they've never missed a day of work. I'm not sure if that's something to be proud of. I move to different positions (lateral promotions) every 2 years and for my last position, they needed to hire my replacement as an SRE. My boss wanted to hire someone who was a full stack dev with all the bells and whistles, but I told her to hire someone who care about why the work is important. I had good technical skills but what made me 'popular' was because I chat with all the people who uses our systems, know what they uses it for, what it means when it fails and how we can make it better for them. Tech skills can be taught and systems can be designed to be simpler to maintain, but you can't teach someone to care. I encouraged a couple of people in the company who worked in different departments and often asked me questions on how to resolve a tech issue themselves. They applied and one of them was hired. My boss was glad she listened to me.
I inherited my fathers lack of ability to cope with trauma and stress. Very common amongst descendants of boarding schools. My father did not have the best education therefore he could not write well. He was a fisherman and was one of the most intelligent men I ever known.

Richard P. Feynman - 'Never confuse education with intelligence, you can have a PhD and still be an idiot.' I think the way many people define intelligence is wrong.
@@angelinasimon3513 intelligence, intellectus in Latin, simply means understanding, and according to the ancient Greeks, understanding in it’s most significant sense is a capacity of the soul
@@angelinasimon3513No one said anything about education equals intelligence, but it does correlate with each other. The more you know, the more knowledgeable you become, therefore more intelligent. Now, who do you know who has a PhD and is an idiot? I’ll wait. I think your people (those who believe education is a waste of time) think that intelligent people are supposed to be wealthy, or you think that rich people (who probably created a business) are intelligent because they have money. Change your mindset.
I love the guy’s point about how neuroticism can be a positive trait in many work settings. This neurotic woman salutes you, sir! And that computer science guy is spot on about focusing on outcomes! Work smarter, not harder.
Yea, I watched a video from some guy who worked at Google where he talked about how the really really smart ones wouldn't succeed at Google because at a certain level you can't avoid seeing what bullshit the corporate world was.
@Baplopird I think it related to the most intelligent at the technical work did not play the corporate social games required to get ahead in the corporate world. Some are neurodivergent...autism spectrum etc. Wether the cause was lack of ego for selfish self-promotion, not making the right friends to move up into the management ladder (kissing the a$$), just didn't care to work on bs projects, speak their minds honestly, or other issues not related to technical smarts.
People just need to feel like their work will lead to something that will benefit them. Most jobs are near the level serfdom; so of course there’s so much unrest.
I know, right? The whole point of venture capital is throwing money at a bunch of companies and hoping one makes a humongous return to offset the losses from the others.
@@spinnettido you know anyone successful, IN AMERICA, that didn’t inherit at least some capital and have their education at least half paid for by their parents?

I was just thinking that!! How else to maintain the status quo? I could debunk this claim word by word, it's so full of assumptions. Coming from "experts" again....😅
The thing to remember here is that success means different things to different people. There are absolutely some fields where you will not do well if you are not intelligent, no matter how hard you try at it. This is why equity is such an important concept, because success is different things for different people. Invest in their strengths and reject the one size fits all education. School should not be a contest run for the benefit of universities.
Not sure about the "sudden switch to agriculture" bit. I'm no expert but according to David Graeber and David Wengrow's book, agriculture was around for a very long time as an activity, we only switched to it as a "lifestyle" recently (and even then it was now a sudden switch).
All very nice in theory but only realistically practical to a point. Whatever your role or activity, you are still highly dependant of the people you have above, below and around you. It’s called a work system for a reason.
Intelligence is still the best indicator of life success. Certainly, many other factors come into play, but the rigorous studies that I am aware of indicate both a significant correlation and no other correlation is as high.
Agriculture probably developed from the observation that if all of the seeds of an annual plant were eaten, there would be none the following year. This would lead to a practice of leaving some portion of the seeds, and scattering them more widely. Only when this practice approached the effectiveness to fulfill most of the dietary needs year-round did formal farming emerge.
@@qnbits yes, and 🍺. I was interested in what would have been the early sparks of inspiration which would have begun the process of incremental innovations, and the intermediate stages of the transition from hunter-gatherer to full-time farmer. People would remember where they gathered grains last year, and if they noticed that the year following the complete harvest of a favorite grain, none grew the next year, they would understand that some seeds must be left. Then enlarging the area seeded would be a natural next epiphany. Next they might notice that other plants interfered with the desired food plants, and do some weeding. And so on.
[23:19] For to realise more value from the capital expense, the acquisition of better tools may be an incentive to take the work more often and more seriously :-)
The big problem with Venture Capital is that there are so many instances where the entire point of venture capitalists is to buy into a struggling company, sell off its assets, collect bonuses, saddle it with massive debt, and extract every ounce of value as possible before the company is forced to file for bankruptcy.
I disagree with Tyler Cowen. People like him give such general advice that, when implemented in the workplace, it can create nightmares. For instance, in the case of an autistic person, he considers them undervalued. However, as the name suggests, it is a spectrum. Some autistic people can be a great asset to the workplace, but some can be very difficult to work with and exhibit all the negative traits of a non-autistic person. Organizations that implement blanket policies based on the advice of people like him can negatively impact the mental health of non-autistic employees.
Most of this is true. I was with you until 11:00. You can work from poverty to wealth. Hard work, diligence, integrity, wisdom and living within your means (avoid debt) can get you there.
The more people there are, the bigger and thus more complex, systems become. Individuals are less likely to be, or are unable to be (due to complexity), held directly accountable for the work/product they do/make, or fail to do/make. Many with high EQs have figured this out. This leads to three groups... the workers doing the work of the work, the bullsh!tters who talk about the work others are doing, and the massive group of wanna be bullsh!tters striving to someday be in a "leadership" position. Work in any complex organization filled with intelligent, highly competitive people and all this becomes comically obvious.
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On!' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
True talent is not missing. That’s a presumptuous statement. It’s probably just not interested in what’s offered and instead is already charting the course of human evolution without you being able to even recognize it. 😅
Hunter-gatherer societies knew about the possibility of growing food and have used seeds from grasses for thousands of years before started growing foods, but the climate was too harsh for growing. After the Last Glacial Maximum climate started to get warmer and the possibility of growing food became more viable so they started doing it. That is no mystery and there was nothing sudden about it the transformation from hunter-gatherer lifestyle, which took thousands of years for the majority of societies become farmers. I hate it when people who know nothing about something and still they talk about it spreading misinformation. Perhaps those chaps have something of value to say but they base it on untrue information about the hunter-gatherer societies so I will pass. That's a shame...
The economist claiming that venture capital is one of the best ways to find and cultivate talent... It's one of the best ways to fuel cutthroat startup culture that's bloated with whatever stupid buzzword is popular that quarter.
Ecleseastes Chaptre 9: Verse 11 "I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all." Everything happens for a reason, and that reason is time, chance, and, dumb luck.
One huge problem , that does not have an easy solution these days, is the fact many employers, especially large corporations, pass on very qualified professionals for: 1) The use automated tools to filter resumes; 2) Lack of well prepared people leaders recruiting with real commitment to get the best talent (can be time consuming); 3) Too much focus on previous titles instead of responsibilities held and deliverables/accomplishments; 4) Asking for "the perfect candidate" while not being willing to pay what those are worth; 5) Too much focus on getting someone "ready" technically but without given proper consideration to personality/character, which can lead to serious problems later on with the existent team resources (one bad apple can spoil the entire batch). People can learn new skills/info but it is almost impossible to change people's characters/attitudes.
Don't dismiss the individual, dismiss the system. Unfair welfare is rural areas supporting the vertical integration of settlements, with their time and natural resources. People out of the element that is our natural instincts. If we could use our modern innovation to, overtime, devolve to just past the bronze age, we would bring equal footing to humanity and restore bio-secure bio-diversity. Cure cancer, depression, anxiety, addiction, address climate change, over crowding, and restore peace, shrink war, and resentment between the halve and have nots. We can all learn this individual knowledge though observation. THAT can not be true in a system of bureaucratic integration. It removes the damager from the physical work, time and consequences of their profit. Natural disturbance and death and punctuations in the ecosystem, even conflict, However at scale in our species narcissistic human ways, they've throw the whole balance of the world off and brought more of these death cycle impacts to everything in the name of commerce and lives that outlast mental sustainability, that works for some.
Regardless of gender, is never wise to hire entitled, bossy, complainers or victim-mentality people. Those are immediate disqualifiers since you don't get to choose what you do, the company does, and this happens for 99.9% of jobs. So yes, we will keep filter out whoever we perceive unsuited. Not all world has the luxury to risk like Americans.

The only downside of luck is that you also have to have the combination of luck AND other factors.

That is no mystery and there was nothing sudden about it the transformation from hunter-gatherer lifestyle, which took thousands of years for the majority of societies become farmers. I hate it when people who know nothing about something and still they talk about it spreading misinformation. Perhaps those chaps have something of value to say but they base it on untrue information about the hunter-gatherer societies so I will pass. That's a shame...
There is ALWAYS a book
Why odoo guy stared into my soul ? He did not even blink...
If i do not buy odoo or using one he gonna eat my soul inside out ? 😂
LoL
What Odoo?
I believe he is. I usually skip all ads, but this one i couldn't avoid it. what the hell?
Grocery stores like SPLH (sales per labour hour)
I like SPCH (sales per customer hour)
The economist claiming that venture capital is one of the best ways to find and cultivate talent... It's one of the best ways to fuel cutthroat startup culture that's bloated with whatever stupid buzzword is popular that quarter.
One of the five main traits: learn to make 🔥
AuDHDer here - IM NOT UNUSUAL, YOU ARE!
Ecleseastes Chaptre 9: Verse 11
"I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all."
Everything happens for a reason, and that reason is time, chance, and, dumb luck.
This seems more like Big Strawman Fallacy honestly.
One huge problem , that does not have an easy solution these days, is the fact many employers, especially large corporations, pass on very qualified professionals for: 1) The use automated tools to filter resumes; 2) Lack of well prepared people leaders recruiting with real commitment to get the best talent (can be time consuming); 3) Too much focus on previous titles instead of responsibilities held and deliverables/accomplishments; 4) Asking for "the perfect candidate" while not being willing to pay what those are worth; 5) Too much focus on getting someone "ready" technically but without given proper consideration to personality/character, which can lead to serious problems later on with the existent team resources (one bad apple can spoil the entire batch). People can learn new skills/info but it is almost impossible to change people's characters/attitudes.
It’s almost like all of these bad behaviors are REWARDED in our government standardized schools 🤔
Will AI reduce the need for Talent?
Increased quality of products will also provide an opportunity to reduce wastefulness in our “throw away” societies. Responsible.💗
What does this has to do with work? Where is the topic about work?
I LOVE this❤❤❤

Don't dismiss the individual, dismiss the system. Unfair welfare is rural areas supporting the vertical integration of settlements, with their time and natural resources. People out of the element that is our natural instincts. If we could use our modern innovation to, overtime, devolve to just past the bronze age, we would bring equal footing to humanity and restore bio-secure bio-diversity. Cure cancer, depression, anxiety, addiction, address climate change, over crowding, and restore peace, shrink war, and resentment between the halve and have nots. We can all learn this individual knowledge though observation. THAT can not be true in a system of bureaucratic integration. It removes the damager from the physical work, time and consequences of their profit. Natural disturbance and death and punctuations in the ecosystem, even conflict, However at scale in our species narcissistic human ways, they've throw the whole balance of the world off and brought more of these death cycle impacts to everything in the name of commerce and lives that outlast mental sustainability, that works for some.
Id rather be successful and dumb that unsuccessful and intelligent.
And that’s why the dumb become successful, and ruin the world.
Regardless of gender, is never wise to hire entitled, bossy, complainers or victim-mentality people. Those are immediate disqualifiers since you don't get to choose what you do, the company does, and this happens for 99.9% of jobs.
So yes, we will keep filter out whoever we perceive unsuited. Not all world has the luxury to risk like Americans.
There is that story in the quran about a man called talut their prophet tell them he is your leader because he had knowledge and strong and the people reply to him he had no money
Ngl they had me in the first half, until the spiel about Venture Capital. What a croc of shite
I'm smart and don't work at all
Agriculture evolved first on large scale in the Indian Subcontinent and East China. NOT middle east.
Luck. That’s the biggest factor. Luck!! Get it straight. And increase your chances for Luck. That’s how you get successful. LUCK 🍀
Yes, luck being one of other factors 🖖
The only downside of luck is that you also have to have the combination of luck AND other factors. If you don’t have whatever is needed to build off of luck (connections, hard work, skill, etc) then luck alone is also worthless.
This is how kids who come from “successful” backgrounds can fail so hard - they can’t build beyond lucky starting point.
@@chandnijain6178 luck is the biggest factor. I want you to think of how lucky you are, and how many things that you had no control over that brought you to where you are now. First being you had no control over who your parents are. Start there and then continue on from that. You are very lucky. Lots of luck is needed to be successful. It’s the biggest factor
@@JamesDecker7 connections? How lucky were you to make those connections? Unlucky to miss out on other connections?
Hard work? What is this Protestant Calvinist myth? How lucky were you to have a physique to handle hard work? How lucky were you to have a mind that would not break under the pressure of hard work?
Skill? How lucky were you to have the genes, then epigenetics, then be in an environment to know, discover and hone those skills? How many are unlucky to not unlock any of those skills that were latent and never had a chance to be developed? Any skill(s) you may have that you just don’t know because you weren’t lucky enough to have it worked?
@@MichaeldeSousaCruz This is a video about how one can build habits to get the most usage out of what they've got. Bringing up how there are endless factors about ourselves out of our control is hardly a novel concept, and I really don't understand what it has to do with the video.
Where the hell do I find a job in any field that encourages slow productivity?
Therapeutic massage on your own... Or a business that focuses only on massage
Try going from a startup to a big corp. Slow is all they do
I have a friend who runs meditation retreats. It's not all peace, love and mung bean rissoles, but a big chuck of his working day is sitting in meditation.
I love the grounded reality of this channel!!!
Retirement took a toll on my finances, but with my involvement in the digital market, $47,000 weekly returns has been life changing. AWESOME GOD❤️
Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!
Wow that's huge, how do you make that much monthly?
I'm 35 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??
Thanks to my co-worker (Alex) who suggested Ms Maria Angelina Alexander.
She's a licensed broker in the states 🇺🇸
☝🏻👏🏻
racism, family wealth...
Look no farther than Orange Man. He became president of the most powerful nation. God knows he's far from genius level.
Trump's interviews with Candace Owens and Grant Cardone show his intelligent side. He plays dumb for the audience
Success and intelligence. Well this sure as hell isn't a vid about little donny johnny tRump!
Big Think is the new TED. A bunch of empty words. First dude who spoke is the exactly the type of either university guy / journalist who really think they know how entrepreneurial activities work and have an idealistic perspective on life but their advice is NULL.
It's worthless. Unapplicable, unimplementable. Bored me with minutes of history that I already knew to tell me that there's wealth inequality in capitalism. Change the title to "A brief and boring history of some dude's perception of history".
You're better off finding a youtube channel of a guy who runs several small businesses and they'll you more about work than big think ever could.
This is such a pointless analysis. Doesn't shed any new light beyond common sense. You can't add plucky music to make it better
Why the fuck are there sponsors on this channel now?...
*Your explanations are clear and straight forward It's always a honor to have you here as a mentor, I appreciate you for the time being spent to educate us financially. Regardless of how bad it gets the economy, I still makeover $28K every single week. I truly value Laura, and her helpful guides.*
The first step to successful investment is figuring your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but it's very advisable you make use of professional.
I know Laura, she has really set the standard for others to follow, we love her here in the UK as she has been really helpful and changed lots of lives.
You're right! The very first time I tried, I invested $2000 and after a week, I received $8,400. That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills.
Interesting! But I'm new here. How can I get to this person's guidelines??
SHE IS ON TELEGRAMs
❤🎉
How do you invent fire. It is natural...
This is why nikola tesla reborn as tesla ..these guys in the video would prefer a motivational speaker rather than nikola tesla😂 btw the channel was unsubscribed long time ago but i decided to check its content but it is not congruent with the title "big think" .....agree or not.
It's True I have noticed that too.
Well…intelligence is literally the only thing I got going for me, and now you tell me it’s not so important? F**k
Wow first to arrive
Venture capitalists best at finding talent?? Lol I'm watching the economy burn thanks to venture capitalists and you praise them? Lol Puhleeze.
Kind of disappointed with this guy in the first 6 minutes. Had he read the book of Genesis, he would know when humans transitioned from foraging to agriculture. I guess he doesn't trust the historical records in the Bible.
😂😂 good one
Bible may contain some true things but history it ain't.
@@shadowgreen123Dude really thinks a fairy tale is evidence.
I dont agree with the 1st guy at around 11 min in where he says its no longer possible to build weath without already having capital. Lot of people do it still
Who?
@@nataliaalfonso2662 lots of people its hard but its possible I know few
I laughed very hard when agriculture was presented like something of the past and the cattle word was connected to the capital word. Unsubscribing, I had enough BS merchants from this channel.
You can just say you don’t understand his point
@@Will140f I expect some kind of minimal respect towards viewers.
@@Will140fThere's nothing to understand. Cattle and Capital have zero etymological relationship. An outright lie.
@@user95395 this is easily searchable online. They both share the Latin root caput. It shows this in the video 🤦
@@user95395 except they do and this is easily searchable rather than just doubling down on your wrongness. Caput (which it even shows in the video explicitly) is the shared Latin root of both words
