44. Can We Just Title An Episode "Fuck Colonialism"?: Reclaiming Two-Spirit Histories

For this episode, Leigh is joined by guest host Sam Campbell for the pod’s first episode focusing on Indigenous North America, discussing the history behind various Two-Spirit identities and Indigenous cultural norms around gender and sexuality. In this episode, we’ll talk about the pre-colonial significance of Two-Spirit people to Indigenous communities, how early colonists were able to shape the narrative of what it meant to be Two-Spirit and how that has changed, and lastly, how colonization has nearly eradicated Two-Spirit histories. How can we uplift these stories to highlight Two-Spirit resilience despite the genocide they faced?

“You can speak well if your tongue can deliver the message of your heart.”-John Ford

Our two teen hosts, Julia and Keerthi, are accomplished speakers and debaters and they have plenty of useful tips to keep you from “dying.” Julia recently gave a Tedx talk that had her jittering in her boots.

Shravan and Sanjay Kumaran – India’s Youngest Mobile Application Programmers

Pioneering Talent in the World of Technology

In a world where prodigious talent can emerge from the most unexpected places, two young brothers from Chennai, India, have made their mark as the country’s youngest app developers and entrepreneurs.

Shravan and Sanjay Kumaran, who were in classes 6 and 8 when their journey began, created a buzz by becoming India’s youngest co-founders and CEOs. Their incredible accomplishments earned them a spot on the prestigious “30 Under 30” list.

The Genesis of GoDimensions

In 2011, at the ages of 8 and 10, the Kumaran brothers embarked on a remarkable journey by founding their own company, GoDimensions. Located in Chennai, their company’s headquarters was a space where innovation and youthful energy thrived. Sanjay assumed the role of CEO, while Shravan took on the mantle of President.

Fueling their journey was their father, Kumaran Surendran, who instilled a passion for programming in his young sons. From an early age, both boys displayed a keen interest in computers and began creating PowerPoint presentations at the tender age of four. Recognizing their potential, their father introduced them to the world of programming at a remarkably young age.

The Birth of Apps

Their journey in app development started with the creation of “Catch Me Cop,” a gaming app inspired by the popular childhood game in India known as ‘chor-police.’ However, this was just the beginning. The Kumaran brothers went on to create a range of apps, including educational apps like “Alphabet Board” and “Colour Palette,” an emergency service app called “Emergency Booth,” a prayer app, and gaming apps like “Superhero” and “Car Racing.” In total, they developed 150 test apps.

The remarkable aspect of their journey was their ability to produce innovative apps that catered to a global audience. Their apps were downloaded and enjoyed in over 50 countries, leaving a lasting impact.

A Global Pursuit of Knowledge

After their incredible accomplishments in India, the Kumaran brothers set their sights on acquiring higher education in the United States. Both Shravan and Sanjay pursued computer science degrees at Texas A&M University.

Today, their LinkedIn profiles reflect their careers as tech professionals. Shravan works as a Software Developer for Salesforce in San Francisco, while Sanjay is a Software Engineer Intern with Microsoft.

A Bright Future Ahead

Shravan Kumaran, at the age of 14, and his younger brother Sanjay, at 12, were identified as the youngest Mobile Application Programmers in India, an achievement that set them on a path of unparalleled success.

The brothers went on to co-found GoDimensions, a company that was their first step into the entrepreneurial world. As Co-Founder and President and Co-Founder & CEO, respectively, they embarked on an incredible journey that has not only set records but inspired countless young minds.

Their success was not limited to app development; it extended to their ability to balance academics, research, and business development while actively participating in lectures and presentations on academic and industry platforms.

Their accomplishments have led them to speak at prestigious events like IIM-Bangalore, TedX, CII conferences, and SAP Tech University in Bangalore.

As they chart their future path, Shravan and Sanjay remain committed to excelling academically while continuing to develop innovative apps and grow their business.

Their determination is an inspiring example of how young talents can make a significant impact on the world. As they put it, “Excelling academically is of prime importance as we aspire to get into the country’s best professional colleges.”

With their focus and dedication, the Kumaran brothers are poised to achieve great heights in both the academic and entrepreneurial worlds, inspiring others to follow in their footsteps.

How to stop screwing yourself over | Mel Robbins | TEDxSF

Translator: Judith Matz Reviewer: Tatjana Jevdjic higher welcome! Hi there, San Francisco! TEDx oh my God, blinding gentle! Hi, everyone! How are you? (audience cheering) excellent?! Oh my gosh! K, so… My title is Mel Robbins, and for the last seventeen years, i’ve done nothing however support folks get the whole lot that they want. Inside motive! My husband’s right here. So, I’ve performed it within the court docket, in the boardroom, in the bedroom, in persons’s dwelling room, some thing room you want to be in, if i am there, i will help you get something you want by any means fundamental. For the final three years I host a syndicated radio exhibit. Five days a week, i go are living in forty cities and that i talk to guys and females throughout america who feel stuck.Have you learnt that a third of american citizens feel upset with their lives correct now? That is a hundred million persons! That’s insane! And i have come face to face with it on this new show that i am doing, which is also insane, it can be referred to as "In-laws". I transfer in with families across the usa (Laughter) You guessed it! Who are at battle with their in-laws. We transfer them into the equal residence, I verbally assassinate everybody, we open up Pandora’s box, and that i get men and women to discontinue arguing in regards to the donuts and who is webhosting Thanksgiving dinner, and talk about the actual stuff. And that’s what I need to talk to you about. I am right here for you. I’ll tell you the whole thing i know in not up to eighteen minutes about tips on how to get what you need. So i would like you to take a millisecond right now and feel about what you want.You! And i want you to be egocentric. Screw Simon and the "We" thing. This is about me, correct now! (Laughter) (Applause) Sorry, Simon. What do you need? And this is the deal. I don’t want it to sound good to other folks. Being healthful will not get your ass on a treadmill. Dropping your manboobs, so you could hook up with anyone, now that’s motivation. (Laughter) So, I wish to be aware of: What do you need? Do you wish to have to lose weight? Do you need to triple your income? Do you wish to have to a nonprofit? Do you need to seek out love? What is it? Get it, correct right here.You understand what it’s, do not analyze it to loss of life, simply select something. That’s a part of the quandary. You is not going to decide on. So, we will be speaking about the way you get what you want. And admittedly, getting what you need is modest. But notice I didn’t say it was easy. It’s very simple. Actually, if you feel about it, we reside in essentially the most amazing second in time. So that factor that you have up right here, some thing it usually is, you wish to have to make use of healthful consuming to remedy your diabetes, you need to determine how you can deal with the elders and begin a brand new hospice center, you want to move to Africa and build a school… Wager what? Which you could walk right into a ebook store correct now! And purchase as a minimum ten books written by using credentialed professionals on how the hell you do it.You could Google it. And also you could ordinarily to find as a minimum, I have no idea – a thousand blogs documenting the step, by means of step, by way of step transformation that anyone else is already doing. You can see any individual online and cyber-stalk them! (Laughter) which you could simply walk in their footsteps just use the science of drafting. Comply with what everybody else has achieved, due to the fact that an individual is already doing it! So why do not you’ve gotten what you need, when you have all the understanding that you need, you could have the contacts that you just need, there are almost always free instruments on-line that enable you to start a industry, or join a gaggle, or do some thing the heck you want!? It all comes down to 1 phrase: F*#.Shut the front door, you already know what i am talking about? The f-bomb. It’s everywhere! You hear it always! I honestly do not realise what the attraction is of the phrase. I imply, you do not sound wise while you say it. And it’s quite not expressing how you fairly consider. It’s style of a inexpensive shot to take. And of direction you already know i am speaking concerning the phrase "exceptional". "how you doing?" "Oh, i am high-quality." Oh, relatively? You might be? Dragging round those further forty kilos, you are exceptional? Feeling like roommates together with your partner, and you’re nice? You haven’t had sex in four months, you are pleasant? Quite?! I don’t think so! But see, here’s the take care of pronouncing that you’re exceptional: it is without a doubt genius.Given that if you are best, you do not have to do whatever about it. However when you feel about this phrase "high-quality", it just makes me so indignant. Right here we’re at a convention about being alive and you are going to explain the experience of being alive as "nice"?! What a flimsy and feeble phrase! If you’re crappy, say you are crappy! If you’re amazing say you are potent! Tell the truth! And this not simplest goes for the social construct: "Oh, i don’t wish to burden you with the truth that I hate my life", or: "hiya, i am mighty! However that may make you consider terrible." The greater drawback The bigger limitation with "quality" is that you simply say it to your self. That thing that you wish to have, I warranty you, you’ve convinced your self that you’re quality no longer having it. That is why you’re no longer pushing your self. It is the areas on your life the place you have got given up. The place you’ve gotten mentioned, "Oh, i’m nice. My mother’s in no way going to change, so I just are not able to have that dialog." "i am best.We now have got to attend until the kids graduate, earlier than we get divorced, so we’ll just sleep in separate bedrooms." "i am fine. I lost my job, i can barely pay my expenditures, but some thing it’s rough to get a job." probably the most explanations why this phrase also just annoys me so much is, scientists have calculated Oh yeah, i’m coming down! (Laughter) Scientists have calculated the odds of you being born. That is proper. They’ve crunched the numbers. I see you up there. They’ve crunched the numbers on you Yeah, you guys standing up, you want to sit down down for this.They’ve crunched the numbers on you being born. They usually took under consideration the entire wars, and the average mess ups, and the dinosaurs, and everything else. And do you realise that the chances, the chances of you, yeah, proper here, put your laptop away, get up for me, Doug! (Laughter) So the chances of Doug right here, flip round, say "hi" to all people the percentages of Doug being born at the moment in time he was born, to the dad and mom you had been born to, with the DNA constitution that you’ve, one in 4 hundred trillion! Is not that effective? Doug: i’m so lucky! Mel: yes! You’re not pleasant, you are awesome! You might have life-changing suggestions for a cause, and it’s to not torture yourself. Thanks. Thank you, Doug. (Applause) Christine used to be correct when she mentioned all of you might be on stage.Because all of you we’re all in this category. One in 4 hundred trillion. All day long you’ve ideas that would trade your life, that would alternate the world, that might change the way that you simply believe, and what do you do with them? Nothing! (Grunts) expectantly I is not going to moon you. (Laughter) You did not pay for that. (Laughter) And i need you to only consider for a minute, when you consider that we all have i really like to use the analogy "the interior snooze button" you have these effective strategies that bubble up.You’ve got been gazing men and women all day and that i assurance you, like ping pong balls bam-bam-bam and everytime you have an thought, what do you do? Hit the snooze! What’s the first selection you made this morning? I bet it used to be to go back to bed. "Yeah, first determination at present, i’m one in 4 hundred trillion, i go to go back to sleep." and that i get it! Your mattress is relaxed! It can be cosy, it can be heat! If you’re fortunate, you have got received someone that you just love subsequent to you, or in my case, I’ve acquired my husband and my two kids and possibly the dog. And the motive why i am citing this first resolution that you just made at present, and the internal snooze alarm, is considering the fact that in any discipline of your life that you want to alter, any there’s one reality that you just have got to comprehend.This one: you’re on no account going to suppose like it. Ever. No one’s coming, motivation isn’t happening, you’re not ever going to believe find it irresistible. Scientists call it activation vigor. That’s what they name the force required to get you to alter from what you are doing on autopilot to do something new. So try this test the following day. You consider you are so fancy, i know, you are attending TED. (Laughter) try this. The following day morning, set your alarm for thirty minutes earlier. After which when it goes off, take those sheets, throw them off, and get up and your day. No snooze, no prolong, no, "i’ll just wait here for five seconds on account that Mel’s now not standing here" Do it. And the motive why i would like you to do it’s because you will come face to face with the bodily, and i imply bodily force that’s required to alter your behavior. Do you consider that an individual who wants to shed some pounds ever appears like going on a diet? Of path no longer! You think they ever feel like eating boiled hen and peas as a substitute of a croissant? I do not suppose so! The activation vigor required to get your ass away from your computer and out the entrance door, to go on the stroll, you mentioned that you had been going to go on, is the designated same quantity of drive that it takes you to push yourself out of a heat bed and into a bloodless room.What’s exciting about being an adult is that whilst you emerge as eighteen, nobody tells you that it can be now going to be your job to father or mother yourself. And by means of "guardian yourself", I mean it’s your job to make yourself do the crap you do not want to do, so you could be the whole lot that you are supposed to be. And you are so rattling busy ready to suppose find it irresistible. And you’re by no means going to! My son by no means seems like getting off his DS. That’s my job! Get off the rattling DS! Kendall, easy up the Barbies! If you’re going to have a nude party in my rest room, as a minimum smooth it up! (Laughter) God, chew together with your mouth closed! We’re not a barn, for crying out loud! Very well, dinner is coming, get out of the pantry. As father and mother, and also you were a kid, your parents make you do the things you don’t suppose like doing.Considering that you will not. Ever. Not now, not then, no longer ever! And even while you get just right at something, you’ll work out whatever else you do not need to do. And then you’ll plateau out, lose interest, "I hate this job. Blah blah boring." but will you seem for a brand new one? No! You’ll be able to simply bitch about that one. It’s very, quite simple to get what you need. But it surely’s not convenient. You have got to drive yourself. And i mean force. And the purpose why i take advantage of the phrase "force" when Roz was once up here and talking concerning the emotion monitoring, and she had the picture of two aspects of the mind I appear on the mind the designated same manner. Best I describe one part of your mind as autopilot and the other aspect as emergency brake. That is the only two speeds you get: autopilot, emergency brake. And wager which one your brain likes better: autopilot. You’ve had the expertise the place you may have pushed to work and also you get there and you are like, "Oh my God, i don’t don’t forget ever driving right here." (Laughter) you were not drunk! That was your brain on autopilot. It was functioning just at this level. And the challenge with your mind is that anytime you do anything that is distinct out of your traditional pursuits, guess what your brain does emergency brake! And it has that response for everything. The whole thing! You walk into the kitchen and see each person’s left their breakfast dishes for you.And you feel for the hundredth time, "i will kill them. Actually i am gonna depart it here and i’ll make them do it." but that’s no longer your typical pursuits, is it? So your mind goes: emergency brake! And you go proper into autopilot. "i will just load it, and be pissed, after which not have intercourse. That’s what i’ll do." (Laughter) (Applause) So, once I say "force", something that’s a spoil out of your pursuits is going to require force. And should you think about your existence, it is form of humorous seeing that we’re kids and then we become adults, and we spend so much time trying to push our life into some style of stable movements, and then we develop bored of it! You get up at the same time day-to-day, you’ve got mostly the same breakfast, you drive to work the equal way, show up at work, seem busy, prevent making calls, replace facebook, you attend a assembly and doodle the entire time, go back and replace facebook, make plans for the evening, you seem busy some extra, then pressure home the equal manner, you devour mostly the equal dinner or a kind of it, you watch the equal form of media, and then you definately go to mattress, and do the same thing in every single place once more! No surprise you’re bored out of your mind! It can be the activities that is killing you.I have this thought about why individuals get caught in existence. So, most of you might have more commonly taken your normal Psych 101 category, and you may have bumped into Abraham Maslow’s "Hierarchy of wants"? Good, your body is kinda cool. Because you could have these normal desires. And your body is wired to ship you signals. If you would like meals, what do you believe? If you want water, what do you suppose? If you would like intercourse, what do you consider? (Laughter) thanks. I consider whilst you believe stuck or disenchanted in your lifestyles, it is a sign. And it’s now not a sign that your life is broken. It is a sign that considered one of your most simple wishes aren’t being met. Your want for exploration. The whole lot about your existence, about your body, grows! Your cells regenerate, your hair, your nails, the whole lot grows in your whole existence. And your soul wishes exploration and development. And the one method you can get it’s with the aid of forcing yourself to be uncomfortable. Forcing yourself to get outside, out of your head. Thanks. If you are in your head, you are in the back of enemy lines. That is not God speakme, okay? It’s not! In fact, if I put a speaker on it and we broadcast what you say to yourself, we would institutionalize you. (Laughter) you wouldn’t hang out with persons that speak to you the way in which you speak to your self.So get out of your head! Your feelings! Your feelings are screwing you! I don’t care the way you believe! I care about what you need! And in the event you take heed to the way you feel, when it comes to what you need you are going to no longer get it. Seeing that you are going to never think find it irresistible. And also you have got to get external your alleviation zone. It is no longer about taking dangers, it can be about getting outside your remedy zone. Those first three seconds whilst you push your self off the bed, they blow. But once you’re up, it can be best. Those first three seconds when you are sitting here in a stadium like this and an individual says, "stand up and come dance," and you think, "Oh, I should do that," after which you’re like, "Uhmm." that experience that you simply had while you had the impulse to do it and then you definately failed to do the activation vigour required to drive your self, your emergency brake received pulled "i’m sitting proper here. I am no longer going up with those crazy men and women, i don’t like to bounce…" What happened for me is I came up, and i ran into Rachel, after which we began speaking, and next factor you realize, she’s tweeting.And we’re associates. And boom! Get outside. That’s where the magic is. That’s the place the one in four hundred trillion exists. So the whole lot I do oh, ok, that is the final phase. Sorry. So an extra factor that you should utilize, I call it the 5-second-rule. Your mind can method a facial features in 33 milliseconds. It may transfer pretty damn speedy. The other thing that it does very rapidly is you probably have a kind of little impulses which might be pulling you, when you do not marry it with an motion inside 5 seconds, you pull the emergency brake and kill the idea. Kill it! In case you have the impulse to get up and are available dance whilst the band is playing, when you do not rise up in five seconds, you are going to drag the emergency brake. If in case you have an impulse about, you have been stimulated through a person’s speech today, and you don’t do anything inside five seconds write a observe, ship yourself a text anything bodily to marry it with the suggestion, you’ll pull the emergency brake and kill the inspiration.Your problem is not recommendations. Your situation is you don’t act on them. You kill them. It is no longer my fault. It is not any person’s fault. You’re doing it to yourself. Stop it! I am depending on you. One in four hundred trillion. You received stuff to do! And it is now not going to happen for your head. So i would like you to observe this in these days. Once we go off to party, thank God it can be coming soon, since I think we all might use a cocktail, i want you to observe the 5-second-rule. You see anyone and also you consider you could have an impulse, they seem exciting? Stroll over there! You were encouraged by somebody and you’ve got a request? Make it! That is why you’re here! Test with it, and i think you can be shocked about what happens. And one more thing, i would like you to grasp that the whole thing that I do, whether or not it is the radio show, or the television exhibit, or the booklet that I wrote, or the column, it can be for you.And if there’s something that i will do, if i can do some thing to make you do the things you do not need to do, so that you would be able to have what you wish to have, i’ll do it. However you have got to walk over, you have to open your mouth, and also you have to make the request. You received it? Good. Go do it. (Applause) thanks! Thanks, yes! Rise up! You’ve got the impulse, stand up! Thank you! .

So that factor that you have up right here, some thing it usually is, you wish to have to make use of healthful consuming to remedy your diabetes, you need to determine how you can deal with the elders and begin a brand new hospice center, you want to move to Africa and build a school… Wager what? Which you could walk right into a ebook store correct now! And purchase as a minimum ten books written by using credentialed professionals on how the hell you do it.You could Google it. And also you could ordinarily to find as a minimum, I have no idea – a thousand blogs documenting the step, by means of step, by way of step transformation that anyone else is already doing. You can see any individual online and cyber-stalk them! (Laughter) which you could simply walk in their footsteps just use the science of drafting. Comply with what everybody else has achieved, due to the fact that an individual is already doing it! So why do not you’ve gotten what you need, when you have all the understanding that you need, you could have the contacts that you just need, there are almost always free instruments on-line that enable you to start a industry, or join a gaggle, or do some thing the heck you want!? It all comes down to 1 phrase: F*#.Shut the front door, you already know what i am talking about? The f-bomb. It’s everywhere! You hear it always! I honestly do not realise what the attraction is of the phrase. I imply, you do not sound wise while you say it. And it’s quite not expressing how you fairly consider. It’s style of a inexpensive shot to take. And of direction you already know i am speaking concerning the phrase "exceptional". "how you doing?" "Oh, i am high-quality." Oh, relatively? You might be? Dragging round those further forty kilos, you are exceptional? Feeling like roommates together with your partner, and you’re nice? You haven’t had sex in four months, you are pleasant? Quite?! I don’t think so! But see, here’s the take care of pronouncing that you’re exceptional: it is without a doubt genius.Given that if you are best, you do not have to do whatever about it. However when you feel about this phrase "high-quality", it just makes me so indignant. Right here we’re at a convention about being alive and you are going to explain the experience of being alive as "nice"?! What a flimsy and feeble phrase! If you’re crappy, say you are crappy! If you’re amazing say you are potent! Tell the truth! And this not simplest goes for the social construct: "Oh, i don’t wish to burden you with the truth that I hate my life", or: "hiya, i am mighty! However that may make you consider terrible." The greater drawback The bigger limitation with "quality" is that you simply say it to your self. That thing that you wish to have, I warranty you, you’ve convinced your self that you’re quality no longer having it. That is why you’re no longer pushing your self. It is the areas on your life the place you have got given up. The place you’ve gotten mentioned, "Oh, i’m nice. My mother’s in no way going to change, so I just are not able to have that dialog." "i am best.We now have got to attend until the kids graduate, earlier than we get divorced, so we’ll just sleep in separate bedrooms." "i am fine. I lost my job, i can barely pay my expenditures, but some thing it’s rough to get a job." probably the most explanations why this phrase also just annoys me so much is, scientists have calculated Oh yeah, i’m coming down! (Laughter) Scientists have calculated the odds of you being born. That is proper. They’ve crunched the numbers. I see you up there. They’ve crunched the numbers on you Yeah, you guys standing up, you want to sit down down for this.They’ve crunched the numbers on you being born. They usually took under consideration the entire wars, and the average mess ups, and the dinosaurs, and everything else. And do you realise that the chances, the chances of you, yeah, proper here, put your laptop away, get up for me, Doug! (Laughter) So the chances of Doug right here, flip round, say "hi" to all people the percentages of Doug being born at the moment in time he was born, to the dad and mom you had been born to, with the DNA constitution that you’ve, one in 4 hundred trillion! Is not that effective? Doug: i’m so lucky! Mel: yes! You’re not pleasant, you are awesome! You might have life-changing suggestions for a cause, and it’s to not torture yourself. Thanks. Thank you, Doug. (Applause) Christine used to be correct when she mentioned all of you might be on stage.Because all of you we’re all in this category. One in 4 hundred trillion. All day long you’ve ideas that would trade your life, that would alternate the world, that might change the way that you simply believe, and what do you do with them? Nothing! (Grunts) expectantly I is not going to moon you. (Laughter) You did not pay for that. (Laughter) And i need you to only consider for a minute, when you consider that we all have i really like to use the analogy "the interior snooze button" you have these effective strategies that bubble up.You’ve got been gazing men and women all day and that i assurance you, like ping pong balls bam-bam-bam and everytime you have an thought, what do you do? Hit the snooze! What’s the first selection you made this morning? I bet it used to be to go back to bed. "Yeah, first determination at present, i’m one in 4 hundred trillion, i go to go back to sleep." and that i get it! Your mattress is relaxed! It can be cosy, it can be heat! If you’re fortunate, you have got received someone that you just love subsequent to you, or in my case, I’ve acquired my husband and my two kids and possibly the dog. And the motive why i am citing this first resolution that you just made at present, and the internal snooze alarm, is considering the fact that in any discipline of your life that you want to alter, any there’s one reality that you just have got to comprehend.This one: you’re on no account going to suppose like it. Ever. No one’s coming, motivation isn’t happening, you’re not ever going to believe find it irresistible. Scientists call it activation vigor. That’s what they name the force required to get you to alter from what you are doing on autopilot to do something new. So try this test the following day. You consider you are so fancy, i know, you are attending TED. (Laughter) try this. The following day morning, set your alarm for thirty minutes earlier. After which when it goes off, take those sheets, throw them off, and get up and your day. No snooze, no prolong, no, "i’ll just wait here for five seconds on account that Mel’s now not standing here" Do it. And the motive why i would like you to do it’s because you will come face to face with the bodily, and i imply bodily force that’s required to alter your behavior. Do you consider that an individual who wants to shed some pounds ever appears like going on a diet? Of path no longer! You think they ever feel like eating boiled hen and peas as a substitute of a croissant? I do not suppose so! The activation vigor required to get your ass away from your computer and out the entrance door, to go on the stroll, you mentioned that you had been going to go on, is the designated same quantity of drive that it takes you to push yourself out of a heat bed and into a bloodless room.What’s exciting about being an adult is that whilst you emerge as eighteen, nobody tells you that it can be now going to be your job to father or mother yourself. And by means of "guardian yourself", I mean it’s your job to make yourself do the crap you do not want to do, so you could be the whole lot that you are supposed to be. And you are so rattling busy ready to suppose find it irresistible. And you’re by no means going to! My son by no means seems like getting off his DS. That’s my job! Get off the rattling DS! Kendall, easy up the Barbies! If you’re going to have a nude party in my rest room, as a minimum smooth it up! (Laughter) God, chew together with your mouth closed! We’re not a barn, for crying out loud! Very well, dinner is coming, get out of the pantry. As father and mother, and also you were a kid, your parents make you do the things you don’t suppose like doing.Considering that you will not. Ever. Not now, not then, no longer ever! And even while you get just right at something, you’ll work out whatever else you do not need to do. And then you’ll plateau out, lose interest, "I hate this job. Blah blah boring." but will you seem for a brand new one? No! You’ll be able to simply bitch about that one. It’s very, quite simple to get what you need. But it surely’s not convenient. You have got to drive yourself. And i mean force. And the purpose why i take advantage of the phrase "force" when Roz was once up here and talking concerning the emotion monitoring, and she had the picture of two aspects of the mind I appear on the mind the designated same manner. Best I describe one part of your mind as autopilot and the other aspect as emergency brake. That is the only two speeds you get: autopilot, emergency brake. And wager which one your brain likes better: autopilot. You’ve had the expertise the place you may have pushed to work and also you get there and you are like, "Oh my God, i don’t don’t forget ever driving right here." (Laughter) you were not drunk! That was your brain on autopilot. It was functioning just at this level. And the challenge with your mind is that anytime you do anything that is distinct out of your traditional pursuits, guess what your brain does emergency brake! And it has that response for everything. The whole thing! You walk into the kitchen and see each person’s left their breakfast dishes for you.And you feel for the hundredth time, "i will kill them. Actually i am gonna depart it here and i’ll make them do it." but that’s no longer your typical pursuits, is it? So your mind goes: emergency brake! And you go proper into autopilot. "i will just load it, and be pissed, after which not have intercourse. That’s what i’ll do." (Laughter) (Applause) So, once I say "force", something that’s a spoil out of your pursuits is going to require force. And should you think about your existence, it is form of humorous seeing that we’re kids and then we become adults, and we spend so much time trying to push our life into some style of stable movements, and then we develop bored of it! You get up at the same time day-to-day, you’ve got mostly the same breakfast, you drive to work the equal way, show up at work, seem busy, prevent making calls, replace facebook, you attend a assembly and doodle the entire time, go back and replace facebook, make plans for the evening, you seem busy some extra, then pressure home the equal manner, you devour mostly the equal dinner or a kind of it, you watch the equal form of media, and then you definately go to mattress, and do the same thing in every single place once more! No surprise you’re bored out of your mind! It can be the activities that is killing you.I have this thought about why individuals get caught in existence. So, most of you might have more commonly taken your normal Psych 101 category, and you may have bumped into Abraham Maslow’s "Hierarchy of wants"? Good, your body is kinda cool. Because you could have these normal desires. And your body is wired to ship you signals. If you would like meals, what do you believe? If you want water, what do you suppose? If you would like intercourse, what do you consider? (Laughter) thanks. I consider whilst you believe stuck or disenchanted in your lifestyles, it is a sign. And it’s now not a sign that your life is broken. It is a sign that considered one of your most simple wishes aren’t being met. Your want for exploration. The whole lot about your existence, about your body, grows! Your cells regenerate, your hair, your nails, the whole lot grows in your whole existence. And your soul wishes exploration and development. And the one method you can get it’s with the aid of forcing yourself to be uncomfortable. Forcing yourself to get outside, out of your head. Thanks. If you are in your head, you are in the back of enemy lines. That is not God speakme, okay? It’s not! In fact, if I put a speaker on it and we broadcast what you say to yourself, we would institutionalize you. (Laughter) you wouldn’t hang out with persons that speak to you the way in which you speak to your self.So get out of your head! Your feelings! Your feelings are screwing you! I don’t care the way you believe! I care about what you need! And in the event you take heed to the way you feel, when it comes to what you need you are going to no longer get it. Seeing that you are going to never think find it irresistible. And also you have got to get external your alleviation zone. It is no longer about taking dangers, it can be about getting outside your remedy zone. Those first three seconds whilst you push your self off the bed, they blow. But once you’re up, it can be best. Those first three seconds when you are sitting here in a stadium like this and an individual says, "stand up and come dance," and you think, "Oh, I should do that," after which you’re like, "Uhmm." that experience that you simply had while you had the impulse to do it and then you definately failed to do the activation vigour required to drive your self, your emergency brake received pulled "i’m sitting proper here. I am no longer going up with those crazy men and women, i don’t like to bounce…" What happened for me is I came up, and i ran into Rachel, after which we began speaking, and next factor you realize, she’s tweeting.And we’re associates. And boom! Get outside. That’s where the magic is. That’s the place the one in four hundred trillion exists. So the whole lot I do oh, ok, that is the final phase. Sorry. So an extra factor that you should utilize, I call it the 5-second-rule. Your mind can method a facial features in 33 milliseconds. It may transfer pretty damn speedy. The other thing that it does very rapidly is you probably have a kind of little impulses which might be pulling you, when you do not marry it with an motion inside 5 seconds, you pull the emergency brake and kill the idea. Kill it! In case you have the impulse to get up and are available dance whilst the band is playing, when you do not rise up in five seconds, you are going to drag the emergency brake. If in case you have an impulse about, you have been stimulated through a person’s speech today, and you don’t do anything inside five seconds write a observe, ship yourself a text anything bodily to marry it with the suggestion, you’ll pull the emergency brake and kill the inspiration.Your problem is not recommendations. Your situation is you don’t act on them. You kill them. It is no longer my fault. It is not any person’s fault. You’re doing it to yourself. Stop it! I am depending on you. One in four hundred trillion. You received stuff to do! And it is now not going to happen for your head. So i would like you to observe this in these days. Once we go off to party, thank God it can be coming soon, since I think we all might use a cocktail, i want you to observe the 5-second-rule. You see anyone and also you consider you could have an impulse, they seem exciting? Stroll over there! You were encouraged by somebody and you’ve got a request? Make it! That is why you’re here! Test with it, and i think you can be shocked about what happens. And one more thing, i would like you to grasp that the whole thing that I do, whether or not it is the radio show, or the television exhibit, or the booklet that I wrote, or the column, it can be for you.And if there’s something that i will do, if i can do some thing to make you do the things you do not need to do, so that you would be able to have what you wish to have, i’ll do it. However you have got to walk over, you have to open your mouth, and also you have to make the request. You received it? Good. Go do it. (Applause) thanks! Thanks, yes! Rise up! You’ve got the impulse, stand up! Thank you! .

Guarda "Barbascura X sull'energia nucleare" su YouTube

Questa propaganda politica e sociale è davvero fastidiosa. Personaggi del genere, in Italia, vengono chiamati pure a parlare a convegni come TEDx. Omettono completamente il problema postumo delle scorie, in cui subentra la mafia e si creano danni centenari come la "terra dei fuochi" oppure il litorale marittimo in cui hanno affondato navi piene di scorie... È vero che incidenti come Chernobyl sono più unici che rari, ma tutt'ora se ne pagano le conseguenze, solo che non ne parlano... Non siamo informati... I venti radioattivi di Fukuschima arrivarono fino a San Francisco. Per dire... In Italia si votò contro il nucleare, ma appena fuori dal confine è piena tutta l' Europa di centrali. Ridicolo ed assurdo. Senza parlare della truffa legalizzata e del relativo disastro del Vajont. Assolutamente non è la soluzione, ma petrolieri capitalisti fanno sparire i progetti di scienziati etici e conscenziosi ed a volte fanno proprio sparire gli scienziati.... E poi ci ritroviamo dementi come Barbascura e disquisire ti cose più grandi di noi...

Una volta seguivo tanto i convegni di TEDx con i sottotitoli, ma da quando è arrivato in Italia con ospiti italiani preferisco passare il tempo a giocare a carte con i pensionati al bar...... Per esempio.. l'unica vera soluzione è sfruttare in simbiosi ciò di cui la natura offre spontaneamente come il vento, il sole oppure il moto ondulatorio del mare. Oppure anche la canapa per la carta e i vestiti, però bisogna smetterla di fumarla! Renderla legale per il ciclo produttivo da così smettere di tagliare alberi nella foresta amazzonica per ridurre sequoie millenarie in carta da culo. Oltretutto Barbascura conosce molto bene le zone oltraggiate dell'omertà.

Some things I picked up on reading this... real rollercoaster of an article,

Sex cults never talk about sex in terms of sex, but as something more spiritual or enlightening than it actually is. Ties in with something I've said a lot about sex positivity: the real power is in saying "what's the big deal?" and pointedly not treating it as a spiritual or religious experience.

The desexualization and abstraction of sex also extends to the financial end of the transaction as well - it's okay, you're not actually sexually aroused at the prospect of this experience, you're just "emotionally hard". Money isn't real, it's just an "emotional obstacle". Get lost. Money somehow starts being very real once you've pocketed it, and sexual temptation might not be the name of the sales tactic but it is very much the mechanism.

Celebrity endorsements continue to be absolute garbage as a yardstick for quality. Oprah Winfrey may not be culpable here specifically, but since we're calling out Gwyneth Paltrow, she deserves a mention for spearheading this particular kind of new age/alternative celebrity endorsement culture.

The only other yardstick that could possibly be worse is maybe expressing the idea through a TEDx talk. It's a very close-run thing.

Not sure I'm sold on the idea that an experience where a woman gets on the floor in a room with several other people and spreads her legs for everyone to see her vulva would strictly count as an empowering experience for most women just because the fingering technique involved in her orgasm is non-penetrative.

You can tell people are really good at sex when they are dubbed "priests and priestesses of orgasm". You gotta pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars to book time with them but at least you know you'll be in for a good time... right?

The overlap between "sex cult" and "pyramid scheme" is practically a circle, in this case. What strikes me is how effectively people are apparently persuaded to trash their own credit rating for pyramid schemes. In this case, for glorified prostitution. Just go into findom if that's your thing - it's probably less expensive and more pleasurable.

"At what point does this stop being a quirky alternative San Francisco lifestyle and start being a dangerous sex cult?" I would say probably at the beginning. These things tend to develop at their own pace, but the steps are generally based on outlandishness of claims, and even before the woman in charge developed a huge God complex, the sheer concept of a continuous orgasm that lasts for three hours is just ridiculous.

I would say that generally speaking, every time a sex cult starts up around giving women orgasms that, by all accounts, women don't get enough of, women-loving people everywhere should take a massive L. In this case however, I'm happy to award the L to whichever women sincerely believed that achieving a three-hour orgasm would heal their childhood traumas.

I love this interspecies friendship!

I confess I am not big on social media, but occasionally I see something that I can’t stop watching. This short clip caught on a wildlife camera in San Jose, California shows a coyote leading a badger though a culvert under a highway. And I am not alone in appreciation as this post has gone viral with millions of views! Simply put, this duo is absurdly cute. I can’t stop watching. While it is well established scientifically that coyotes and badgers hunt together, this video conveys so much more. The way the coyote leaps playfully, tail wagging, beckoning his short-legged little friend to follow conveys friendship. It conveys two buddies out for an adventure.

A post shared by POST - Open Space For All (@peninsulaopenspacetrust) on Feb 4, 2020 at 10:25am PST

There are so many examples of non-human animals, individuals of the same species and of different species, interacting in complex ways that reveal their unique personalities, friendships, kindness, and dare I say, love. Traits or expressions we tend to confer only to humans for fear of anthropomorphizing, a big no-no in science. (For example, see this national geographic blog about this coyote-badger video). And yet I would argue that the most apt description of these behaviors is to describe them with the same words we would use to describe them in humans. Our brains are similar. These arguments are well developed by ecologist Carl Safina, in his best-selling book Beyond Words, and summarized here in this powerful TEDX talk.

A recent study about African grey parrots also captured the surprise of scientists. African grey parrots were very helpful in sharing tokens to other parrots so that parrot could exchange the token for food. The helping parrots did this without any direct reward for themselves. This type of helping behavior, most simply described as generosity or kindness, is surprising to scientists and many expressed doubt that it is real. Why? Other creatures are our close kin. We share the same nervous systems. It makes sense that we also share feelings and thoughts, emotional and social lives too. I think this is obvious to anyone who has a pet. For this badger and coyote pair, why shouldn’t we all, scientists alike, call it a friendship? Which raises another question: if we start calling these behaviors friendship, without fear of anthropomorphizing, might this help us to better empathize with our fellow animal kin and take better care of them and the Earth?  

I wonder.

Nicole Heller is Curator of Anthropocene Studies for Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Museum employees are encouraged to blog about their unique experiences working at the museum.

This video was captured by Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST), a land trust nonprofit where Heller worked as the Director of Conservation Science prior to joining the museum. POST is doing terrific conservation work to make the busy San Francisco Bay Area safe for wildlife to move around, find habitat, and successfully reproduce in the face of daily human traffic and long-term urban growth and climate change.

#BlackInImmuno Week Celebrates Black Researchers In Immunology

New Post has been published on https://perfectirishgifts.com/blackinimmuno-week-celebrates-black-researchers-in-immunology/

#BlackInImmuno Week Celebrates Black Researchers In Immunology

The inaugural Black In Immuno Week celebrated Black immunologists.

The Black In Immuno Week ran from 22 to 28 November 2020, where 15 co-organizers planned virtual activities and panels to amplify, celebrate and support Black scientists in immunology, which is the study of the immune system.

“When I joined Twitter, pretty recently, I realized that I could connect with more Black people [and] more Black researchers […] All throughout my career, it has been rare to come across other Black researchers,” says co-organizer Joël Babdor, who is a post-doctoral researcher at University of California – San Francisco (UCSF). Babdor studies the impacts of the microbiome and external factors on the immune system in different clinical contexts, including cancer research and organ transplantations.

Babdor refers to earlier efforts, such as #BlackBirdersWeek and #ShutDownSTEM, as initiatives which “did a good job of bringing awareness of how Black researchers are excluded from research for systemic reasons, and how equality or the evolving of Black individuals in research is threatened by micro-aggressions and biases that are limiting their development and well-being in research. I think that all set the scene where I figured that we would need to also do something for the immunology field.”

The Black In Immuno Week follows in the footsteps of earlier #BlackInX weeks, such as #BlackInCardio, #BlackInCancer and #BlackInNeuro. The first such week, #BlackBirdersWeek, was recently highlighted as one of ten “good-news stories for wildlife in 2020” by the National Geographic.

“Months beforehand, Joel had put out a call to collect Black immunologists, and I helped amplify that. Certain events started happening over the summertime, like the killing of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. For me, those events felt very isolating,” says co-organizer Justine Noel, who is a PhD candidate at Precision Immunology Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Noel studies how environmental factors alter pregnancy, and how that can alter the immune outcomes of offspring. She adds that “it felt very isolating because we’re going into school and into work, and no one was really talking about these events. For me, rebuilding that sense of community with other Black immunologists was, one, a support system, and two, an excellent way to network and find potential mentors.”

The Black In Immuno Week began on 22nd November with a roll call on Twitter, asking Black immunologists tuning in to introduce themselves.

“If we think of immunology, it’s a pretty broad field. It encompasses various topics within, so when we thought about catering events for Black In Immuno Week, we kept that in mind,” says Noel. “We wanted to showcase all types of research, and we thought that having TEDx-style talks, or 15 minutes quick talks or elevator style pitch talks could, one, showcase and amplify Black immunologists and the work that they’re doing, but also, in that format, it engages the general public and our community to understand the research that we are working on.”

The week covered several topics through short TEDx-style talks and panels featuring innovative immunology research, insights into the daily life of an immunologist, career advice, and tips related to outreach, advocacy and wellness. The activities were sponsored by several organizations, including the Immune Deficiency Foundation, eLife, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund and a number of institutions across North America. By the end of the week, the Black In Immuno Twitter account was nearing a total of nearly 3,000 followers.

“Our main goal for Black In Immuno Week was to engage with our community more, to amplify immunologists, celebrate Black immunologists and support Black immunologists with various outlets,” says Noel. “To me, the week was a success. We were able to identify Black immunologists, we were able to come together and form a sense of community, [and] we were able to network and come up with future ideas to keep this initiative going.”

“Another aspect of the success of Black In Immuno, as Justine said, [is that] a lot of allies have connected with us, and a lot of people in the research community are eager to connect with more Black immunologists. They haven’t had the chance to — the same way we haven’t had a chance to find a lot of other Black immunologists in our research institutions,” adds Babdor.

What’s next for the Black In Immuno Week co-organizers?

Babdor and Noel already have a few ideas in mind, such as building a database for Black immunologists, creating scholarships and pushing for the collection of data regarding the number of Black immunologists present across the US.

“It’s something that we are actually pushing for using a partnership program that we designed to have research institutions, companies, non-profit organizations and scientific societies to start collecting data about Black individuals in their research community – potentially, this would be a chance to have more information and more details about Black immunologists who are out there. [This] would also be an opportunity for institutions to have an idea of the progress they are making,” says Babdor, and elaborates that this program will have a three-point framework, including collecting the aforementioned data, tracking the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) trainings taking place, and to have numerical measures or objectives to attain when moving forward.

“We do want to have this week again,” says Noel. “There’s no limit to what we can accomplish in the future. I think we’re pretty open to do anything that’s supporting, amplifying and celebrating Black immunologists.”

You can see any individual online and cyber-stalk them! (Laughter) which you could simply walk in their footsteps just use the science of drafting. Comply with what everybody else has achieved, due to the fact that an individual is already doing it! So why do not you’ve gotten what you need, when you have all the understanding that you need, you could have the contacts that you just need, there are almost always free instruments on-line that enable you to start a industry, or join a gaggle, or do some thing the heck you want!? It all comes down to 1 phrase: F*#.Shut the front door, you already know what i am talking about? The f-bomb. It’s everywhere! You hear it always! I honestly do not realise what the attraction is of the phrase. I imply, you do not sound wise while you say it. And it’s quite not expressing how you fairly consider. It’s style of a inexpensive shot to take. And of direction you already know i am speaking concerning the phrase "exceptional". "how you doing?" "Oh, i am high-quality." Oh, relatively? You might be? Dragging round those further forty kilos, you are exceptional? Feeling like roommates together with your partner, and you’re nice? You haven’t had sex in four months, you are pleasant? Quite?! I don’t think so! But see, here’s the take care of pronouncing that you’re exceptional: it is without a doubt genius.Given that if you are best, you do not have to do whatever about it. However when you feel about this phrase "high-quality", it just makes me so indignant. Right here we’re at a convention about being alive and you are going to explain the experience of being alive as "nice"?! What a flimsy and feeble phrase! If you’re crappy, say you are crappy! If you’re amazing say you are potent! Tell the truth! And this not simplest goes for the social construct: "Oh, i don’t wish to burden you with the truth that I hate my life", or: "hiya, i am mighty! However that may make you consider terrible." The greater drawback The bigger limitation with "quality" is that you simply say it to your self. That thing that you wish to have, I warranty you, you’ve convinced your self that you’re quality no longer having it. That is why you’re no longer pushing your self. It is the areas on your life the place you have got given up. The place you’ve gotten mentioned, "Oh, i’m nice. My mother’s in no way going to change, so I just are not able to have that dialog." "i am best.We now have got to attend until the kids graduate, earlier than we get divorced, so we’ll just sleep in separate bedrooms." "i am fine. I lost my job, i can barely pay my expenditures, but some thing it’s rough to get a job." probably the most explanations why this phrase also just annoys me so much is, scientists have calculated Oh yeah, i’m coming down! (Laughter) Scientists have calculated the odds of you being born. That is proper. They’ve crunched the numbers. I see you up there. They’ve crunched the numbers on you Yeah, you guys standing up, you want to sit down down for this.They’ve crunched the numbers on you being born. They usually took under consideration the entire wars, and the average mess ups, and the dinosaurs, and everything else. And do you realise that the chances, the chances of you, yeah, proper here, put your laptop away, get up for me, Doug! (Laughter) So the chances of Doug right here, flip round, say "hi" to all people the percentages of Doug being born at the moment in time he was born, to the dad and mom you had been born to, with the DNA constitution that you’ve, one in 4 hundred trillion! Is not that effective? Doug: i’m so lucky! Mel: yes! You’re not pleasant, you are awesome! You might have life-changing suggestions for a cause, and it’s to not torture yourself. Thanks. Thank you, Doug. (Applause) Christine used to be correct when she mentioned all of you might be on stage.Because all of you we’re all in this category. One in 4 hundred trillion. All day long you’ve ideas that would trade your life, that would alternate the world, that might change the way that you simply believe, and what do you do with them? Nothing! (Grunts) expectantly I is not going to moon you. (Laughter) You did not pay for that. (Laughter) And i need you to only consider for a minute, when you consider that we all have i really like to use the analogy "the interior snooze button" you have these effective strategies that bubble up.You’ve got been gazing men and women all day and that i assurance you, like ping pong balls bam-bam-bam and everytime you have an thought, what do you do? Hit the snooze! What’s the first selection you made this morning? I bet it used to be to go back to bed. "Yeah, first determination at present, i’m one in 4 hundred trillion, i go to go back to sleep." and that i get it! Your mattress is relaxed! It can be cosy, it can be heat! If you’re fortunate, you have got received someone that you just love subsequent to you, or in my case, I’ve acquired my husband and my two kids and possibly the dog. And the motive why i am citing this first resolution that you just made at present, and the internal snooze alarm, is considering the fact that in any discipline of your life that you want to alter, any there’s one reality that you just have got to comprehend.This one: you’re on no account going to suppose like it. Ever. No one’s coming, motivation isn’t happening, you’re not ever going to believe find it irresistible. Scientists call it activation vigor. That’s what they name the force required to get you to alter from what you are doing on autopilot to do something new. So try this test the following day. You consider you are so fancy, i know, you are attending TED. (Laughter) try this. The following day morning, set your alarm for thirty minutes earlier. After which when it goes off, take those sheets, throw them off, and get up and your day. No snooze, no prolong, no, "i’ll just wait here for five seconds on account that Mel’s now not standing here" Do it. And the motive why i would like you to do it’s because you will come face to face with the bodily, and i imply bodily force that’s required to alter your behavior. Do you consider that an individual who wants to shed some pounds ever appears like going on a diet? Of path no longer! You think they ever feel like eating boiled hen and peas as a substitute of a croissant? I do not suppose so! The activation vigor required to get your ass away from your computer and out the entrance door, to go on the stroll, you mentioned that you had been going to go on, is the designated same quantity of drive that it takes you to push yourself out of a heat bed and into a bloodless room.What’s exciting about being an adult is that whilst you emerge as eighteen, nobody tells you that it can be now going to be your job to father or mother yourself. And by means of "guardian yourself", I mean it’s your job to make yourself do the crap you do not want to do, so you could be the whole lot that you are supposed to be. And you are so rattling busy ready to suppose find it irresistible. And you’re by no means going to! My son by no means seems like getting off his DS. That’s my job! Get off the rattling DS! Kendall, easy up the Barbies! If you’re going to have a nude party in my rest room, as a minimum smooth it up! (Laughter) God, chew together with your mouth closed! We’re not a barn, for crying out loud! Very well, dinner is coming, get out of the pantry. As father and mother, and also you were a kid, your parents make you do the things you don’t suppose like doing.Considering that you will not. Ever. Not now, not then, no longer ever! And even while you get just right at something, you’ll work out whatever else you do not need to do. And then you’ll plateau out, lose interest, "I hate this job. Blah blah boring." but will you seem for a brand new one? No! You’ll be able to simply bitch about that one. It’s very, quite simple to get what you need. But it surely’s not convenient. You have got to drive yourself. And i mean force. And the purpose why i take advantage of the phrase "force" when Roz was once up here and talking concerning the emotion monitoring, and she had the picture of two aspects of the mind I appear on the mind the designated same manner. Best I describe one part of your mind as autopilot and the other aspect as emergency brake. That is the only two speeds you get: autopilot, emergency brake. And wager which one your brain likes better: autopilot. You’ve had the expertise the place you may have pushed to work and also you get there and you are like, "Oh my God, i don’t don’t forget ever driving right here." (Laughter) you were not drunk! That was your brain on autopilot. It was functioning just at this level. And the challenge with your mind is that anytime you do anything that is distinct out of your traditional pursuits, guess what your brain does emergency brake! And it has that response for everything. The whole thing! You walk into the kitchen and see each person’s left their breakfast dishes for you.And you feel for the hundredth time, "i will kill them. Actually i am gonna depart it here and i’ll make them do it." but that’s no longer your typical pursuits, is it? So your mind goes: emergency brake! And you go proper into autopilot. "i will just load it, and be pissed, after which not have intercourse. That’s what i’ll do." (Laughter) (Applause) So, once I say "force", something that’s a spoil out of your pursuits is going to require force. And should you think about your existence, it is form of humorous seeing that we’re kids and then we become adults, and we spend so much time trying to push our life into some style of stable movements, and then we develop bored of it! You get up at the same time day-to-day, you’ve got mostly the same breakfast, you drive to work the equal way, show up at work, seem busy, prevent making calls, replace facebook, you attend a assembly and doodle the entire time, go back and replace facebook, make plans for the evening, you seem busy some extra, then pressure home the equal manner, you devour mostly the equal dinner or a kind of it, you watch the equal form of media, and then you definately go to mattress, and do the same thing in every single place once more! No surprise you’re bored out of your mind! It can be the activities that is killing you.I have this thought about why individuals get caught in existence. So, most of you might have more commonly taken your normal Psych 101 category, and you may have bumped into Abraham Maslow’s "Hierarchy of wants"? Good, your body is kinda cool. Because you could have these normal desires. And your body is wired to ship you signals. If you would like meals, what do you believe? If you want water, what do you suppose? If you would like intercourse, what do you consider? (Laughter) thanks. I consider whilst you believe stuck or disenchanted in your lifestyles, it is a sign. And it’s now not a sign that your life is broken. It is a sign that considered one of your most simple wishes aren’t being met. Your want for exploration. The whole lot about your existence, about your body, grows! Your cells regenerate, your hair, your nails, the whole lot grows in your whole existence. And your soul wishes exploration and development. And the one method you can get it’s with the aid of forcing yourself to be uncomfortable. Forcing yourself to get outside, out of your head. Thanks. If you are in your head, you are in the back of enemy lines. That is not God speakme, okay? It’s not! In fact, if I put a speaker on it and we broadcast what you say to yourself, we would institutionalize you. (Laughter) you wouldn’t hang out with persons that speak to you the way in which you speak to your self.So get out of your head! Your feelings! Your feelings are screwing you! I don’t care the way you believe! I care about what you need! And in the event you take heed to the way you feel, when it comes to what you need you are going to no longer get it. Seeing that you are going to never think find it irresistible. And also you have got to get external your alleviation zone. It is no longer about taking dangers, it can be about getting outside your remedy zone. Those first three seconds whilst you push your self off the bed, they blow. But once you’re up, it can be best. Those first three seconds when you are sitting here in a stadium like this and an individual says, "stand up and come dance," and you think, "Oh, I should do that," after which you’re like, "Uhmm." that experience that you simply had while you had the impulse to do it and then you definately failed to do the activation vigour required to drive your self, your emergency brake received pulled "i’m sitting proper here. I am no longer going up with those crazy men and women, i don’t like to bounce…" What happened for me is I came up, and i ran into Rachel, after which we began speaking, and next factor you realize, she’s tweeting.And we’re associates. And boom! Get outside. That’s where the magic is. That’s the place the one in four hundred trillion exists. So the whole lot I do oh, ok, that is the final phase. Sorry. So an extra factor that you should utilize, I call it the 5-second-rule. Your mind can method a facial features in 33 milliseconds. It may transfer pretty damn speedy. The other thing that it does very rapidly is you probably have a kind of little impulses which might be pulling you, when you do not marry it with an motion inside 5 seconds, you pull the emergency brake and kill the idea. Kill it! In case you have the impulse to get up and are available dance whilst the band is playing, when you do not rise up in five seconds, you are going to drag the emergency brake. If in case you have an impulse about, you have been stimulated through a person’s speech today, and you don’t do anything inside five seconds write a observe, ship yourself a text anything bodily to marry it with the suggestion, you’ll pull the emergency brake and kill the inspiration.Your problem is not recommendations. Your situation is you don’t act on them. You kill them. It is no longer my fault. It is not any person’s fault. You’re doing it to yourself. Stop it! I am depending on you. One in four hundred trillion. You received stuff to do! And it is now not going to happen for your head. So i would like you to observe this in these days. Once we go off to party, thank God it can be coming soon, since I think we all might use a cocktail, i want you to observe the 5-second-rule. You see anyone and also you consider you could have an impulse, they seem exciting? Stroll over there! You were encouraged by somebody and you’ve got a request? Make it! That is why you’re here! Test with it, and i think you can be shocked about what happens. And one more thing, i would like you to grasp that the whole thing that I do, whether or not it is the radio show, or the television exhibit, or the booklet that I wrote, or the column, it can be for you.And if there’s something that i will do, if i can do some thing to make you do the things you do not need to do, so that you would be able to have what you wish to have, i’ll do it. However you have got to walk over, you have to open your mouth, and also you have to make the request. You received it? Good. Go do it. (Applause) thanks! Thanks, yes! Rise up! You’ve got the impulse, stand up! Thank you! .

If in case you have an impulse about, you have been stimulated through a person’s speech today, and you don’t do anything inside five seconds write a observe, ship yourself a text anything bodily to marry it with the suggestion, you’ll pull the emergency brake and kill the inspiration.Your problem is not recommendations. Your situation is you don’t act on them. You kill them. It is no longer my fault. It is not any person’s fault. You’re doing it to yourself. Stop it! I am depending on you. One in four hundred trillion. You received stuff to do! And it is now not going to happen for your head. So i would like you to observe this in these days. Once we go off to party, thank God it can be coming soon, since I think we all might use a cocktail, i want you to observe the 5-second-rule. You see anyone and also you consider you could have an impulse, they seem exciting? Stroll over there! You were encouraged by somebody and you’ve got a request? Make it! That is why you’re here! Test with it, and i think you can be shocked about what happens. And one more thing, i would like you to grasp that the whole thing that I do, whether or not it is the radio show, or the television exhibit, or the booklet that I wrote, or the column, it can be for you.And if there’s something that i will do, if i can do some thing to make you do the things you do not need to do, so that you would be able to have what you wish to have, i’ll do it. However you have got to walk over, you have to open your mouth, and also you have to make the request. You received it? Good. Go do it. (Applause) thanks! Thanks, yes! Rise up! You’ve got the impulse, stand up! Thank you! .

Where they are | Per Ivar Selvaag | TEDxStavanger

Per Ivar designed has designed supercars, now he designs Human Processes in Norway’s biggest oil company, and collects memories from an Island in Norway where he grew up. He meets them where they are… Per Ivar Selvaag is a Norwegian designer and the Head Of Design at Equinor.

Per has worked in 6 countries and has spent the best part of the last decade running a consultancy in California’s San Francisco Bay Area, before coming back home to Norway. Human Centered Design as a discipline has helped Per evolve as a creative thinker. As a chief designer at Peugeot he was responsible for the creation of the concept car Onyx, a 21st-century uber-French supercar that helped shape the use of copper and black; a now globally ubiquitous feature in all categories of retail.

At Equinor he is working to help shape a people-centered strategy for combining the humanities with data science. Per Ivar grounds his work in his background and upbringing in the rural fjords of Norway.

In this talk Per wants to remind us of a universal power that is often hiding in plain sight, and how we can all recognize it within, by returning to our common sense. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

SXSW TAKEAWAY /// DESIGN FOR CONFRONTATION, DESIGN FOR GROWTH Steve Selzer Experience designer chez Airbnb

Une keynote très américaine farcie de Personnal Development et de Power to change, mais qui ouvre quand même des voies intéressantes pour les marques, notamment dans leur capacité à aller provoquer ou confronter ses clients pour créer encore plus d’attachement ou les amener à évoluer ou grandir.

En tant que designer UX, il nous explique que toutes les applis sont pensées pour être les plus fluides et efficaces possible. Elles doivent résoudre des problèmes ou des besoins sans en créer d’autres. C’est dans la philosophie de la Valley de « Better world » ou à minima de nous faciliter la vie.

Le problème, c’est que si tout est facile, sans friction ni difficulté, à la fin on finit tout gros comme dans wall-e, enfermé dans notre monde et coupé du reste. C’est une conviction, ou un constat : Quand on enlève toutes les frictions, on enlève les opportunités. (C’est un peu la même chose que disait Tim O’Reilly, « s’il y a un problème, il y a un business »)

Or l’être humain aime la croissance (être grand, devenir riche…) on aime bien la growth, c’est notre truc à nous les gens, mais on a envie d’en avoir sans faire trop d’effort. Tout le problème est là, en évitant les frictions comme nous le permettent toutes les nouvelles technos, nous passons à côté d’occasions de grandir.

D’après un écrivain que je ne connais pas « Le succès d’un homme se mesure à sa volonté d’avoir des conversations inconfortables » Pourquoi n’en avons-nous pas alors ?

Quand on s’immerge dans nos smartphones, chacun d’entre nous, bien souvent, c’est pour s’isoler du monde, et donc éviter la confrontation. Avec les autres ou avec le vide. En évitant la confrontation, on réduit ce qui nous rassemble avec les autres. Les « Shared values », ce qui fait qu’on partage des choses entre individus et communautés. Si on diminue les shared values, à la fin, on est dans des mondes parallèles qui se confortent chacun dans leurs croyances, et ça a posé des problèmes aux États Unis, notamment de vision politique, avec des camps qui s’éloignent et n’auront bientôt même plus de terrains de communication. (Ca m’a fait penser que si une marque n’allait pas se confronter réellement à nos clients ou prospects, elle pouvait complètement sortir de leur vie)

Donc que ce soit pour s’attaquer à des problèmes et grandir ou tout simplement continuer de vivre ensemble sans s’ignorer, il faut que les gens apprennent à se confronter. Pas à s’affronter ou s’engueuler, mais à se confronter. C’est essentiel Mais c’est compliqué, Et si nous aidions les gens à développer des skills de confrontation, même si c’est dur. Et si nos produits créaient des espaces de confrontation ? N’est-ce pas comme ça qu’on pourrait aider nos clients à générer de la croissance ?

1 ère étape : confronter ses collègues.

Si tu ne le fais pas, ce qu’on a tous en commun diminue. La culture commune disparaît. La boîte s’affaiblit. Allez voir le super TEDX Amy Edmondson , un belle demo sur les équipes qui marchent. Better teams make more mistakes Better teams are more willing and able to confront mistakes . A chaque fois que tu ne dis pas à ton collègue qu’il foire, tu le prives d’une belle opportunité de progresser. Alors il nous invite à créer des espaces de discussion ouverte au sein de notre équipe, complètement libre et déconnectée des autres instances. Créons Real Talk et écoutons. Ça m’a fait penser à toutes les méthodes de management qu’on nous explique dans l’approche des Generation Z, ou le « soft feedback immédiat » est particulièrement efficace.

2 ème étape :  confronter ses clients

Il nous montre les cas de Wii sport qui se confronte à ses clients en faisant apparaître, au bout d’un certain nombre d’heures de jeu un panneau proposant « Why not a break ? Ou le « are still watching this video » de Netflix. Une façon indirecte mais un peu culpabilisante de dire qu’il y a autre chose dans la vie. (et dans le cas de Netflix, de vérifier que vous ne dormez pas)

Chez Airbnb, pour créer un compte, il faut dorénavant signer la Politique de non-discrimination d’Airbnb : à savoir un engagement en matière d’inclusivité et de respect sur la Couleur de peau, l’Origine ethnique, l’origine nationale, la religion, l’orientation sexuelle, l’identité de genre ou la situation de famille Car c’est le paradoxe de la tolérance : Une société peut être tolérante à tout sauf à l’intolérance. Et ils ont eu plein de bad et de good commentaires dont ils sont très fiers car cela a créé l’espace de confrontation. (d’autres diraient qu’ils ont eu des problèmes de racisme avec leurs hôtes et qu’ils n’avaient pas le choix) En tout cas c’est parfaitement raccord avec leur signature Belong Everywhere et leurs prises de parole, notamment durant le SuperBowl juste après l’élection de Trump. Pour les marques, sans pour autant défendre de grandes causes, ça ouvre la possibilité d’aller chercher les clients/prospects dans leurs croyances de façon plus directe et engagée.

3 ème étape : confront yourself

Moment plus léger et plus profond à la fois, le gars part en aveux/révélation de sa confrontation avec lui-même. Le vrai défi c’est de se confronter à ce que tu veux vraiment faire/être « J’ai viré les apps sociales de mon phone. Je me suis mis à la boxe. C’est dur mais ça renforce l’esprit de communauté.

Et la céramique. Moi qui m’excitais sur la perfection, c’était carrément le contraire. Donc, maintenant, à vous de vous confronter. » Et la BAM les questions de gens qui lui disent que c’est bien mignon mais faut être en sécurité pour se confronter, car sinon on se fait virer, tout simplement. Et qu’en tant que geek de San Francisco il est bien sympa avec sa céramique mais il ne s’est pas confronté aux vrais problèmes des minorités et des femmes.

Oups.
