Mariano Sigman : Your words may predict your mental health

Mariano Sigman TED2016
Your words may predict your mental health  (transcript)
I rewrote this recently. Somehow, it became different.
Summary
I think that the subject that your words may predict your mental health is already used around us. For example, your mother always notices your changes or your friends know soon that you have a boyfriend.
There are many signs that show your changes and it will send unconsciously from you.

This time, he tried to convert those signals into algorithms because he researched that those signals were used for a long time. First, people seemed to be hearing and obeying someone’ voices. And then people began to recognize that someone's voice was their inner voice that was the introspection and it tried to write them.

Now, people write more than before because there is the internet. They use Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and other social networks. There are many opportunities to write, thus the speaker thinks that those words may predict people's future mental health more than before. Also, technology helps it.

However, l think that the thoughts that people don't write anything will be more important.


Your words may predict your future mental health
Summary
We can know that the speaker wants to tell us that our words may predict our future mental health from the title.
His idea is that our ability we initially have to imagine, to be conscious and to dream is not different to the past. It's because people obey voices when they hear something that is not hallucinations but they have the ability to think about their own thoughts. It has been their inner voices. He calls it our introspection and he said that it can be examined in a quantitative and objective manner.
I like his thoughts, because I believe that people can listen to and see their own introspection and they can notice a strong hunch that is a strong intuition. It means that we have a premonition that something bad or good would happen.
However, in the past, it might come from the words we write or we say, I think that today will be different. The world is always changing and we always use computers. I think that in the computers, our introspection will be charged, and even there is the average, it will be far different to our personal.
