- To get out of the mess we're in, we need a new story that explains the present and guides the future, says author George Monbiot. Drawing on findings from psychology, neuroscience and evolutionary biology, he offers a new vision for society built around our fundamental capacity for altruism and cooperation. This contagiously optimistic talk will make you rethink the possibilities for our shared future.

“Despair is a failure of imagination.” Spot on
Josh Cote say that to the 22 veterans that commit suicide each day. They just lack imagination right?
@@accuratealloys he means societal despair. God bless our veterans.
Or a consequence of ruthlessness
@@accuratealloys There are probably many reasons that 22 veterans commit suicide each day. Lack of imagination probably does have a part in this tragedy...at least for some of these Individuals.
@@accuratealloys& Josh Cote: If you think the returning vets are despondent, take another look at what is coming down the pike, for those still enamoured by business as usual, in the face of this looming climate catastrophe, brother.
the new story isn't profitable to the tellers of the old story
This new version is not new. Comrade.
@@thomass5169 from one conservative to another. i think you're missing the point, brother.
...like Georgie.
The new story should be the old story: a government of the people, by the people, for the people. For all aspect of life. We do that in school with school board and PTA. We do that in our government with the democratic process. It works (well, it used to work before the age of the social media, but I digress). Why left the biggest part of our life, the part that gives us life (the economy is our lifeblood, without it, most of us in the modern world can't even say we're living, hence terms like livable wages etc.) to a feudal authoritarian system? Where the executive (CEO and upper management) and the legislative (investors with voting shares) can unilaterally act in a way that would affect the whole company with employee numbering more than population of some large cities. Time to kick the old feudalism. It has been proven broken long ago.
It never does, dear.
Props to this guy for keeping his energy up the whole time!

I believe this truth, we need a new story. Living in this pyramid system for way to long and we all see again and again. When I think about the movement in the sixties, it seemed like a false reality, (I say that because many of them are now the psychopaths). Their is way too much selfishness and greed. We are at another important juncture where people are waking up to the deception, let's hope we can do right by all this time. Thank you for the upload

I used to get depressed when thinking of the future - then I got some good news after watching a video on TH-cam.
The TH-cam video was called "One Small Town" (can change the world).
It contains a plan for small town communities to transition out of the banking system. Best wishes to all.

Resonate with deep needs and desires - grounded in reality, I love this guy!
Great talk. His book is great, too: HOW DID WE GET INTO THIS MESS? Glad he's taking his story public.
Gonna get myself a copy of the book based in this talk and your recommendation.

Very important question to ask.
@@Broomehall no. You couldn’t know at the time, but he broke down and cried on Good Morning Britain. Every other participant in the conversation were sorry for him. He completely refused this and once again put their attention to the actual people suffering. Not him, the global south. He has devoted his life to environmentalism. He actually cares. If he was so selfish, he would promote himself more. But he doesn’t. He talks and writes in various different places, yet newer refers to his books or his TH-cam channel. In all his talks combined, he could have reached millions about his books. He could have made millions on the promotion of his work. But I’ve only heard him even talk about his book once, which is the newest, Regenesis. I can send you two videos which further prove my point and should convince you, unless you’re someone without any empathy or respect for other humans. The one video is that from Good Morning Britain, the other one is him sincerely having a talk with someone like-minded and which he has only uploaded on his small channel.
@@Broomehall 14:35 you don’t have to agree with him, he never suggested he is the only one who knows the right answer.
The commons of Humanity, is the story of Sharing .
This speech far from a like deserves an admired appreciation and hope it doesn’t stay in a momentous inspiration for mankind, but rather a kick start for general action!
🙌🏼
An amazing message, really well presented! You, sir, gave me back hope, after a decade of depression and anxiety. You made me cry, you gave me back hope for mankind and you restored my sense of purpose as a human being. I am not exaggerating. You've given us a lot to consider, in a much needed humorous way. Thank you sooo very much!!

@Finn MacCool yikes, can see your projections on the moon mate.
Bravo! Thank You SO much George Monbiot, for helping us to consider the old story needs replaced by a new one ... I agree it does. Your brief version of a new story is a place to start. Your are totally correct that we need to speak the truth about what has happened and what is happening in order to tell the story correctly and to resolve problems ... And we need to keep working at resolving the problems UNTIL they are resolved.
My, "new story," In the past people survived by exploiting and cheating those who could be exploited and cheated. Only those willing to exploit and cheat could rise above the barely surviving situation that was most peoples life. Those that were being exploited and cheated, even if they knew they were, were offered enough to make it seem an acceptable way to live. Eventually, those who were exploited and cheated noticed the pattern that made living extremely unequal for most and that trend was causing many people to feel that only people with money had power and that the people being exploited and cheated had relatively little, had to work longer and had no seat at the table or voice in important actions ... this was left to exploiters and cheats and those who worked within their realm who did get more than most but even they could rarely rise up into the realms of those who came from the truly wealthy (OLD money). THEN, one day, everyone started realizing The Truth could be told and those who worked for the exploiters and cheats could stop working for them and start working for the betterment of All. They realized We All needed to stop making anything that could cause us harm ... and that Our focus needed to shift from thinking about "better" ways to kill those who did not agree and instead learn how to get along. We begin to understand that we are all in this together and together we can create a world that Respects All Life. Love & Peace to All

Simply brilliant. People need to believe in something, and a story is a great way as we can see.
it even can be like software for society
Problem is he thinks with feelings instead of facts. There has never been less poverty on the planet (google extreme poverty on the planet). The guy is a fanatical commie
@@antikokalis Yes about poverty -- huge progress and it may be less than ever! But you don't have to be a fan commie to not know that. Everyone does not know that.

Hedging bets over "people" as opposed to market laws in just hysterical. Besides making you feel good, it doesn't do much more. Actually it's dangerous.
Based on some in-depth polls, including in the USA, I think a critical mass of people share the model and values summarized by Monbiot here, BUT our mass media, with hired demagogues, are excessively neoliberal; practically religious neoliberalism. Our universities also, across the world, teach classical/neoclassic/neoliberal economics ; again they are taught like those theories are unmovable divine pillars of reality. Therefore, while most people see we need a more reasonable and democratic version of our current extreme capitalism, the dominant discourse insist the story not be changed at all. There is a disconnect between mass (commercial) media, even political science in universities, and common sense or popular wisdom. This is changing (not so much in the USA), but I am not very optimistic I admit.
the easiest, simplest conclusion to come to, is that we are doomed. When faced with truly existential crisis, we simply carried on the old narratives of competition and division. But because there is no second act on this one, we have to do better. Our rulers are not up to the job, our media is mostly in their thrall. People like George Monbiot give me hope.

@@procdalsinazev I'm thinking that it is where the "Yin and Yang" touch, that the best work of Humanity will occur. The "Yin" and the "Yang" are both important, but it will be in the vast gray area between them that the Evolutionary Harmonization could occur.
I've had a chance to think about this and I get it now. Yes. This is a fragment of Real Life unfolding before Our popcorn filled faces.
As a Yang supporter, I resonate with this video

That is the best speech describing the human condition I have ever heard. Gives me hope. A true leader whom I would vote for. 👍
Because you are brainwashed😂
Man I hope he is right, I doubt I will see it in my lifetime. Those with the most power will not be giving up this fight.
No, because they have the money and the bombs.
People who are lucky enough to be doing okay still think everybody else either is, or can too, if they'd only just do what they did; confirmation bias. Sorry, but things are not going well for a significant number of people... and we need this kind of narrative, and a change in direction to get the boot of competition off of people's necks. We need our neighbors free and upright, to stand with us, so that we can cope with what's coming.
@@NeightrixPrime I guess you can't read, because that was not said. Reactionary kneejerk idiocy. You're showing your own confirmation bias.
@@NeightrixPrime Please don't address me with "You're saying"... putting words in my mouth or trying to skew my meaning with sly re-wording isn't polite conversation. But your non sequitur seems valid to me; why wouldn't we want to do the things you mentioned, purely as humanity trying to help pull itself towards a more moral outcome for all?
Simply fantastic...
You are awesome...
Amazing how many people in the comments are just adding further proof to the talk. People utterly consumed by identity politics.
what story did the lizard have when floods and predators made it grow wings?
things arent bad enough yet.
a story is just another lame excuse for not mastering YOURSELF and nobody else.
Unfortunately, when there is one side of a two sided system that rejects science, because it doesn't like facts, we are only left with a single option. The imminent looming disaster of climate change is more important than any political persuasion or person.
I don’t have an stake in any identity politics myself, but this guy is a starry-eyed dreamer if there ever is one. His panacea comes from a modernist “grand narrative” storytelling, implies that stories are more important than factual knowledge, and that we’ve been led astray by those big bad psychopaths. If only we could get “us” reasonable people in to lead us, and drive all those psychos out of power... What he fails to mention is that WE are the psychopaths. Evil is banal, and power corrupts all humans alike. It’s all too human. He needs to go back to ivory-tower and continue his myopic study of naval-gazing.
@@BuddyLee23 You may have think of it differently if you ever read "The Power Of Myth" by Joseph Campbell. In it he gives some very good reasons and explanations of how the human species is psychologically anchored to the over-arching narratives that are embedded in our mythologies. It is true for all cultures in the present and in history. It is a similar concept to Dr. Jung's idea of the collective conscious and how human emotions, instincts, and human psychology is tethered to the concept of narrative. If you read much about psychological bias, the different types of bias, you come up with very good evidence that refutes the idea that humans behave logically based on factual knowledge. It turns out that we are not at all like Mr. Spock.
@@ronaldlogan3525 no one is arguing that story, mythos, and overarching narratives haven't served us well and perhaps even occupy some familiar, dispositional ground in our both our collective and individual psyches, but your basic assertion is far more reasonable than the speaker in this vid, and his wild claims of storytelling salvation. Few would contend that we are not passionate, irrational, fallible creatures, but the last thing we need is to encourage, is for any more of us to give ourselves over to even further emotion. Our world would do well to have a few more Mr. Spocks within it!
super ! in my opinion democracy needs culture and good quality school...
I think that my students are going to learn this speech by heart... THANK YOU SO MUCH !!
I pity your students.
andrew worth why? I have excellent students. You are not a student of mine... I pity you....
Learning by heart never means knowing, understanding and feeling the subject
But it's a nice way to reincarnate fascism

Great speech. Needs to viral.
To those who found this talk interesting, you may find the societal design specification published for free by the auravana project very interesting and addative (or just complementary), as it specifies and explains more fully a community-type socity.
You’re so right George. I was feeling despair following the election result last week. I hate the idea of competing with our fellow men.
A society of altruists governed by psychopaths. Spot on.

Good to see Monbiot on TED! He needs more attention.
The utter failure of Socialism to achieve its goals needs more attention.
General Public what if this isn’t about socialism
So when this eventually fails, and we get the opposite, will that mean fascism will return?
It is interesting that the operating story does fail. Maybe We should be Better at making corrections and adjustments sooner...in order to keep the story successfully functional? Instead of out right "failure", We might be able to achieve low points and high points in the flow of it?
@Hugh Jones Is there anything that acts on the movement of a pendulum that could alter its designed result?
It's because we haven't told a good enough story.
Plus it's easy to be seduced into being a hero in your own story
Brilliant. Extremely important.
The difference between bonding communities and bridging communities is important. We need to look after those who get left behind, or won't or can't participate for whatever reason. Often when groups are formed to work for some sort of social good, they tend to comprise the most privileged members of a society, and often benefit those same privileged people. We need to include everyone, and work to benefit everyone. Like the concept of belonging, the tendency to exclude crosses political lines, and we need to find a way of overcoming it.
Go George!
Amazing 😃😃
George is such an energetic dude. Loved this.
*We are a society of altruists, but we're governed by psychopaths*

greatboniwanker Hey, where did you get the Kool-Aid?
Voting gave us Trump.
Don't kid yourself. We are a society of psychopaths who are occasionally (when someone is watching) altruistic. I dunno where you come from, but if I leave my front door unlocked when I am out I won't come home to a house full of gifts, I'll come home to a house thats been robbed, vandalised and probably has defecation smeared all over the place. I know far more people who would avoid paying tax if they were able to, than I do know people who would pay extra tax out of the kindness of their own hearts.
If we're going to embark on a brave new endeavor in politics, let's at least do it on one not rooted in well meaning naivity.
Am I the only one relating this to ANDREW YANG's stories? Not right, not left, but forward. No matter it's the UBI or climate change plan, he kills it. He should be the one brings us THE NEW STORY where humanity comes the first.

A new voice... Thank you
If there's a new way...
I'll be the first in line...
But it better work this time!
I think every word he said is plain truth, a shared narrative if I may so say :P Even the part that we (worldwide) are too often led by sociopaths and psychopaths (NO, though, I am not saying all politicians: I know many are not at all, but overall there is a sociopathic tendency in State decisions and it is getting worse). The lack of alternative ideology (yoops, story) is clearly lacking. Any mention of social policy is labeled socialist (red scare) and any criticism of capitalism triggers defensive reactions: we are *too binary* in our thinking. The classical story is good versus bad, but our reality is too complicated or our economies too integrated for those good old stories. Monbiot's compromise is what many have been proposing for a long time, basically focused on sincere and mature democracy. A good number of people are trying to build such cooperative and responsible economics now, but not on a State level. I strongly believe a better democracy is a solution (and also listening to our scientists much much more), but I do not know if Humans can do it... To be followed.
He is a moron. He didn't even check the basic facts of poverty on the planet. In 1990 the extreme poverty on the planet was at about 50%. Now it's at 10%. The world has never been in a better condition. Except the environment obviously
I have known this for a long time, The rabbit hole of deception goes very deep into our human history.
I used to get depressed when thinking of the future - then I got some good news after watching a video on TH-cam.
The TH-cam video was called "One Small Town" (can change the world).

The new economic story needs to prioritize restoring ecosystems, instead of destroying them.

Ted talks are so addicting!!!!
Yup
not even close - Ted talks only presents one point of view - they are no better than the people they sneer at.
@@bitsiebubblebee7129 true but still its still atleas a point of view
I start trying learn english, at this point learning ideas!
Actually he's got some points. Why do we need national government to do most of what they current do? The best government is local government. The more local, the more representative. Far easier to go to our courthouse than to Washington DC (in USA). Iowa doesn't need to be California (and California doesn't need to be Iowa).
But doesn't that ultermately break down things like national identity compartmentalizing groups of people and naturally build division? Won't that undo national cooperation / unity / consistency if everyone has their own little subset of rules and regulations for their area? And therefore reduce international cooperation because decisions that need to be made for the entire country will be difficult to agree on?
En France... on fait le contraire... on est passés de pleins de départements regroupés en 5 grandes régions... c'est triste... juste pour "faire de l'argent"
(besoin de moins d'emploi pour diriger)
You're not considering foreign affairs. It's a global market now. China can basically make unilateral adjustments to their own policy with very little democracy. The US needs central power to be able to compete with that.
@@ethanr9080 Great questions. Actually, no it doesn't break up national identity. We don't live in a world of absolutes. We can have both local and national identities. The point is how much of national oversight do we really need so we can follow the "pursuit of happiness".
We should celebrate different cultures and their differences. Part of that celebration and maintenance of the community is the right to self determination (again better served locally). Even with the best intent, a centralized (and distant) government, can't serve the community as well as local. If that centralized government was located in Utah, they really wouldn't know how their rules/policies affect the Oneida Indian Nation in New York. it's but a drop of water in an ocean of a country.
@@raharu000 It's not a matter of removing all power of the USA central government. it's a matter of limiting the intrusion to things that protect and promote us all (like international trade, common defense, etc.).

He wants to keep HUMANITY FIRST by proposing Human centred capitalism.
Changing the incentives such that capitalism works for humans and addressing climate change.
I Understand his New Story.
Brilliant . True. Optimistic.
ingenious, so true
Yessss
Unfortunately both sides think their answer aligns with this too vague narrative.
Lee No, conservatives recognize his 250-year-old caricature of the free market political economy. An economy based on private property and - imagine! - voluntary cooperation.
@@jamespier7801 You are probably right, just hard to find actual conservatives
Monbiot likes to avoid mentioning the fact that the Keynesian story was mainly supported and implemented by Democrats and Labor, and the neo-liberal story was mainly supported and implemented by Republicans and Tories. But their power in each case caused their opponents to buckle under to them to a large degree.
a brilliantly told story.

Our story is now how we formulate our future Belief in music with technologically enhancement, allows miraculous global events, as we Groove as One!!!
Elinor Ostrom, 1990, Governing the Commons. She was awarded the Nobel Prize for this in 2009. It was a work which disturbed many of today's modern "liberals." My takeaway from it is that there is a difference between GOVERNMENT and GOVERNANCE. It's a subtle difference-- but her studies demonstrate how we can be self governed without kings or presidents or legislators or --- politicians. All any of these sociopaths achieve is their own power and their own preservation by sending our sons to fight wars that benefit only the elite-- whether that elite is Krupp Steel or Alexander the Great or Pol Pot makes no substantive difference. What we "normals" want is GOVERNANCE. We can do without GOVERNMENT. I am happy to have stumbled into this. I'll listen to more from Mr. Monbiot before I decide if he is really on the right path.
Brilliantly logical, achievable and essential strategy .... Cohesion without adhesian !!
cool
This guy does a good job of synthesizing what is happening today. The raising of Ayn Rand’s objectivism to the level of doctrine has been a mistake and it could lead to our extinction. Altruism will save the planet and our species.
Amazing how many people in power follow ayn rand.
@@AJ-xm4xc yeah, most people in power don't concern themselves with the people they've used to get there.
Frank Maskil, Ayn Rand's wretched soul has gone to its proper reward, and because her disembodied soul is as powerless in itself as everyone else's, I presume she's cold, starving, homeless, and naked.
I experience what you are saying every day...
I believe this where the New story will begin from. PEOPLE.
Freedom Dividend!! Money is the bridge.
Money is a band-aid but can help. We need to change our society's priorities and put people's lives before profits.

This is why we need Yang. He's the only one with a truly new and inspiring story, and one that appeals to both left and right, altruism and self interest
Ziljan Vega first thing I thought when I started this talk
Yang won't win any presidential election.
Everyone claps when George is talking in general how to fix the issues. Almost no one claps when he tells us we need to stop fossil fuels and especially no one claps when he says we need to stop animal farming.
I love it 😀 Genius
This is warm and fuzzy, but we're circling the drain. Human is going bye bye.
Being somewhat on the outer edge of the drain area, maybe I would stick to the tub...and wait for new fresh water?
Guess why there is no story?
This is the end. We've written ourselves out of the script.
Fade to black.
