Brené Brown 2: Listening to shame

TED 2012
Brené Brown 2: Listening to shame   (script)
People seek empathy.
The speaker is Brené Brown.  This is her second TED talk, on which she had said that she had a breakdown about her study. She thought that she who studied shame had put to shame at the big stage. 
However, after that, she noticed that she learned some things from that talk, this time she talked about that.
Vulnerability is not weakness. It can be defined as emotional risk, exposure, and uncertainty. It fuels our daily lives and it is our most accurate measurement of courage.  Being vulnerable and letting ourselves be seen are being honest and having courage.
And then, she thought that people should learn about shame, if they are going to find their way back to each other. Without shame, we cannot have various conversations and dare greatly.
We talk about something that, for example, is about race, or on the TED stage while feeling shame. It closes to us, but we do as daring greatly.
Shame and guilt are quite different. Shame is a focus on self, guilt is a focus on behavior. 
Guilt has an adaptability to hold something we've done or failed to do up against we want to be. It's uncomfortable, but it's adaptive, and shame doesn't have.
Shame is healed by empathy.  When we are struggling, the two most powerful words are "me too."  We are not perfect, but it's  okay. We want to be  and work with you. We want you to realize a bit that  we do as daring greatly and we want to realize that you also do. This is our feeling: empathy.
Words in this story
empathy / the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
breakdown / weakness, give up.
uncomfortable / causing or feeling slight pain or physical discomfort. miserable, unhappy.
dare / have the courage to do something.
greatly /adv/ by a considerable amount; very much.

Brené Brown 1: The power of vulnerability

TEDxHouston 2010
Brené Brown 1: The power of vulnerability  (script)
Summary
The speaker Brené Brown started to study human connection. It's because human connection is why we're here and what gives purpose and meaning to our lives. She noticed that it is important for human connection to know about shame, because the only people who don't experience shame have no capacity for human connection.
And then, we're suffering about vulnerability. Vulnerability is the core of shame, fear and our struggle for worthiness.
However, people believe that they're worthy and  have a sense of courage. She thought that she had courage herself. She wanted to be strong, clean life's mess  and organize it.
However, their courage was to accept vulnerability. They embraced it and they believed that what made them vulnerable made them beautiful. Although they're suffering, they knew that the power of vulnerability is very important and it's the birthplace of joy, of creativity, of belonging, and of love.
 In fact, we live in a vulnerable world. One of the ways we deal with it is that we numb vulnerability.
We can't selectively numb emotion but  we don't want to feel these.  We don't have a choice that we have to  numb our grief, shame, fear and disappointment with our joy, gratitude and happiness.  This contradiction is to feel vulnerability which it means that we're alive. It is better for us to accept this and believe that we're enough. From this, our good connection will be created.
Words in this story
vulnerability  /noun/  vulnerable /adj/  susceptible to physical or emotional attack or harm.
embrace / an act of holding someone closely in one's arms.
numb / deprived of the power of sensation. unconscious, senseless.
contradiction / discrepancy, conflict.

Aubrey de Grey: A roadmap to end aging

TED  2005
Aubrey de Grey: A roadmap to end aging  (script)
Summary
I was not convinced with that article. I don't think that I didn't understand English and everybody could understand this also.
The speaker said that a roadmap to aging has five points: (1)why defeating aging is desirable, (2)why we have to solve defeating aging problem well, (3)we have to do a bit more than we do, (4)whether it's a feasibility, or not  and (5) why we are so fatalistic about doing anything about aging.
First, why defeating aging is desirable is, of course, that aging kills many people.
Next, why we have to solve defeating aging problem well, because people worry about overpopulation.
Why we have to do a bit more than we do, because we feel that aging is inevitable strongly.
And then, the story is getting a bit more complicated, from here.
In fact, when we were born, we start aging and aging is a side effect called metabolism. It accumulates and causes a disease. Although we have self-repair mechanisms, it's not perfect. 
However, this is a strange part. If it's eliminated, we cannot live.
He says that defeating aging means that one is life extension of yourself. The second is an elimination of the relationship between aging and death or aging and sick. That is certainly true though it leads to a dilemma. It's because no one's going to die or the death rate is going to much lower and we're not going to be able to have enough kids. People worry about overpopulation though they hope yourself life extension.
In the last, he said that we can stop the aging 90 percent, if there are enough funds. A global trance: aging is inevitable, interrupts to stop it also.
Words in this story
gerontology / the scientific study of old age, the process of aging, and the particular problems of old people.
feasibility / possibility,
inevitable / certain to happen, unavoidable.

Julia Galef: Why you think you're right — even if you're wrong

TED 2016
Julia Galef: Why you think you're right — even if you're wrong (script)
Summary
Is your judgment always right? The speaker tells us that our judgment is strongly influenced unconsciously. Probably you firstly understand and identify correctly. However, next our emotion will work and it's our unconscious motivation, our desires and fears. Here, we consider that some information and ideas that you want are our allies and other the information and ideas are enemies, because we want to win and defend those feelings.
And then, we can't come back after we started to move, because we feel ashamed when we notice we might have been wrong something.
We have to learn that it is important and valuable for that to change.
Now, what you yearn for, what you want to defend or what you believe are right? You might notice something wrong. If so, you have to change your mindsets.

Mary Norris: The nit-picking glory of The New Yorker's Comma Queen (script)
Summary
The speaker works at The New Yorker as a copy editor.
The copy editors are never allowed any little errors. They don't choose what goes into the magazine. They work at the level of the sentence, the paragraph, the words, the punctuation marks and the hyphen. Their business is a mechanical process but they have to pay attention to details. The New Yorker's expressions are special unique, especially the dot, commas and hyphen. This is The New Yorker's style and you can know you're reading it.
The most important purpose for copy editors is to protect authors and to make articles look good. They have to use their good senses and find sentences which are emphasized too much or repeated without intention. They make its suggestions to the author through the editor, not directly.
The great editor saves the writers from their excesses: bad jokes or too long sentences. And then, when they make a mistake, somehow, all points of view focus on copy editors.
Among those, she has a reputation for sternness, and especially commas she suggests in the articles are the best. she is its queen. However, the critics never overlook tiny errors though she is proud of The New Yorker and them. It is expressed by the title: "The nit-picking glory of The New Yorker's Comma Queen" with her great joke.

Jason Fried: Why Work Doesn’t Happen at Work

TED 2010
Jason Fried: Why Work Doesn’t Happen at Work  (script)
Summary
Employers expect that employees do great work in their offices. However, employees think that they want to work without their offices. They probably want to work in their house, in the library or the coffee shop, and think the train is better than the their office. Or even if in the office, it's really in the morning, really late at night or on the weekend.  
Employers think that they have many interruptions when they do the work in those places. They can have the TV, they can go for a walk, there's a fridge and they can use many kinds of social network: Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, because no one sees them.
However, those are like smoke breaks. The real problems are the Managers and the Meetings called the M&Ms. It's not chocolate. The Meetings suddenly stop their work. It interrupts them also and it tends to lead to another meeting. If ten people use one hour for the meeting, ten hours are lost. This should be changed to onlt few-minutes with two or three people involved.
The interrupted work can't be fixed like your sleeping time. Thus, you feel that you couldn't do great work today, despite you were in your office for a long time like your sleeping time was interrupted.
The speaker gives you three suggestions. First is to make “no-talk Thursdays.”It means that nobody in the office can talk to each other just in the afternoon or one Thursday. Second is to switch active communication to more passive models of communication like email and instant messaging. It is because you can replay to it when you're available. And third is to let your company cancel a meeting if you possible.
You'll find that those will really  work and something that you thought that you had to do is not necessary.

We think that someone helps us or God advises something to us or miracles will come to us someday but it absolutely happens, when we believe something. We need to believe.
So we fear that we don't believe. However, they won't teach us the right answers. They teach and give us questions. It is important for us to realize and rethink its questions. It might doubt something we believe , but it gives us the power which it will be new. We can have the power which we can think that there must be another way.

Fei-Fei Li: How we're teaching computers to understand pictures (script)
Summary
The speaker is a computer vision expert. She and her team finally produced one of the first computer models. It can describe a picture when it sees it for the first time like a little girl who will be around three years old saw the picture and talk about it. It means that the computer can see and understand what it is and generate sentences to describe something that it sees. It's like the human brain integrates vision and language, they developed a model that connects parts of visual with words and phrases in sentences.
First, they used the computer algorithm in a mathematical language, but the computer can't see anything that is hidden or change a pose. Next, they used a big data that is enormous quantity and quality of pictures. Now, there are the great algorithms that are capable learning called convolutional neural network. By giving those data to the algorithms, the computer started learning like a child learns. The data became to nourish computer brain.
It took them a long time and the data they delivered was an unprecedented scale. And then, the computer could work like getting the brain which is age three. It makes some mistakes still, however, the machines were given sight. The computer has had visual intelligence. If the human continues to teach them, they can see brtter and they can help people for a better future.

My wish: The Charter for Compassion

TED 2008
Karen Armstrong: My wish: The Charter for Compassion  (script)
Summary
There are opinions on the pros and cons of religion. However, some religions seem to be connected with them. If you study other religions, you'll rethink what religion is and you can look at your own faith in a different view. Among them, the word "belief" means to love, prize and hold dear, "I believe" means that "I commit myself" and "I engage myself." 
In all religions, people are taught that religion is about behaving differently. First, you do something before you believe in Got, or not. You behave in a committed way, and then you begin to understand the truths of religion. And then, pride of place in this practice is given to compassion. It's because in compassion, people feel with other, they dethrone themselves from the center of their world and they put another person there. When they get rid of ego, they are ready to see the Divine. You must not confine your compassion to your own group or nation. You must concern for everybody, love your enemies and honor the stranger. You have to know each other beyond tribes and nations.
However, those wonderful things are being lost, because of human ego. Religion has been used to oppress others. It's judging other people and putting other people down. Religion is used by terrorists to hijack. It's become a tool and cause of world wars. 
Now, is the time to recover real compassion. Religion should be made to be a force for harmony in the world. It has also the Golden Rule which says to us that "Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you." It's not only a religious matter and a spiritual matter, but also an important moral matter.
The speaker works for all religions in the world can have real compassion. It'll make religion a source of peace in the world. It should be.

Donald Hoffman: Do we see reality as it is?

TED 2015
Donald Hoffman: Do we see reality as it is?  (script)
Summary
What is seeing? It seems to be said from in the past that a state of consciousness comes about the results of irritating nervous tissue. It's the relationship between your brain and your conscious experiences. It's not still clarified, because we ourselves seem to think that we lack the necessary concepts and intelligence to solve it and we are unable to solve also.
However, the speaker has different thought: those might be wrong and our vision is not like a camera. It's because you would have experienced that you misinterpreted your perceptions before.
In our brain, billions of neurons and trillions of synapses are engaged in vision. Their works are creating all the shapes, objects, colors, and motions that we see in real time. It's not taking a snapshot as it is. They're constructing everything that we see. They don't construct the whole world at once. They construct what we need at the moment. That can be explained by the three-dimensional cube can be translated to the screen of flat, in our brain. We have experienced that.
And then, perception evolved to survive. So the organisms which can see all of the reality are going to extinct. Thus, perception is constructed, further reconstructed to adapt environment. It'll be difficult to think that we're blind, however, we have to recognize that perception is not about seeing the truth.

Sandberg: Why we have too few women leaders

TED 2010
Sandberg: Why we have too few women leaders (script)
Summary
After reading this article, I felt a little shocked. It's because the speaker said that current situation where is difficult for women to continue working and succeed. She also said that it won't be changed in our generation.
Why we have too few women leaders? She said, "I don't know the right answer. The cause is complicated. We put more pressure on our boys to succeed than girls as a society."
However, she gives us the message what we have to do if we want to stay in the workforce. Her message is that sit at the table, make your a real partner, don't leave before you leave. Believe and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success. Keep your foot on the gas pedal.
And then, she said at the beginning of this talk, "let's start out by admitting we're lucky." I also think so. We live in different ages from our mothers and grandmothers. Our workforce is being changed little by little. It'll be wonderful for both men and women to have a choice to work freely.
◆Viewpoints&Discussion
1. Do you believe that men and women are equal? Please support your answer?
No, I don't. It's because  men and women firstly have different brain and body systems. Only women can be pregnant.
2. Are there any differences between the roles of men and women in your country? How are they different?
Yes, there are. Of course, in my country, Japan, salary of men is higher than women in many companies. Tax deduction for dependents adopts for only women who are married.
3. Why do you think there are more male leaders than female leaders?
Male leaders will give the benefits to other male who are around leaders. It means that male think that around themselves, the leaders are  male better than females.
4. Do you think a woman can carry out good leadership responsibilities like men do? Why?
No, beacuse especial Japan, women cannot make thoes good leadership responsibilities. It'll be blocked by men.
5. Are there any famous women leaders in your country? Who are they and what did they contribute to your society?
I think that now, something just is happening like this article. One woman is putting up for the Governor of Tokyo to change how to use money. However, she will be blocked by men who have always said in congress that women must succeed, though. It's because they won't get the benefits.

Not only us, but also people who produce those products have to know a little bit more what's behind our products. At least, it'll be important for us to know that they are there.
◆Viewpoints&Discussion
1. Are you careful enough to examine the products you are buying and what they are made of? Why or why not?
No, I don't. It's because I know that many goods are contained with unsafe chemicals to make it cheap and look good. I give up to see, however, I try not to throw away products I bought.
2. After reading this article or hearing the speaker’s talk, are you considering of buying the same products that you are using as mentioned by the speaker? Why or why not?
I think that it's a good thing that pigs are used up until the last. However, I think that other  materials are quite wasted.
3. Do you eat pork? Why or why not?
Yes, because in my country, Japan, eating pork is not banned religiously and I don't have any allergies.
4. Do you think pig meat is unclean? Why or why not?
I don't know. It' because surface their skin might be unclean, though we don't eat it. We don't know what they eat. They might eat something that is unclean food.
5. Do you think it is unhealthy to continuously eat pork? Why or why not?
Yes, I do. It's because I think that currently we eat too much basically, and it'll be healthier to eat vegetable than meat.

How wonderful it is that prosecutors can help a woman who arrested for stealing groceries to feed her kids get a job. Your city will be that crimes aren't repeated.

Human behavior is strange, because in this video, when people in the city got a message: did you know you could save 54 dollars a month this summer? Turn off your air conditioning, turn on your fans, or an environmental message, or being good citizens, those didn't work.
However, people who got this message: When surveyed, 77 percent of your neighbors said that they turned off their air conditioning and turned on their fans. Please join them. Turn off your air conditioning and turn on your fans, started to do.
This is the social pressure that works. That's powerful stuff. We can use this behavioral science as new material to save us energy and money. And then, it's important for this behavioral science to be known by many people. They can't think about saving energy.

1. As a citizen concerned about the environment, what do you think you can contribute to conserve energy?
I always save on electricity willingly. I do it before I receive such messages. I try to do something like  I think of ideas myself and financial incentives to move me.
I think that other Japanese people also like to do something financial incentives: saving money but they are affected by social pressure also.
2. According to the video, how does behavioral science connect with saving energy?
"People weren't moved by moral suasion or financial incentives,  but they were done by social pressure. When surveyed, 77 percent of your neighbors said that they turned off their air conditioning and turned on their fans. Please join them. Turn off your air conditioning and turn on your fans." This message really works.
3. Do you think you can live as a good example to your neighbors in conserving energy? Why or why not?
Yes, I do. It's because some people make a complaint about air conditioning in the train. They seem to feel hot. However, I don't say that, because we have to save energy.

Hannah Fry: The mathematics of love  (script)
Summary
Probably, many people think that mathematics is difficult. The mathematics can't be used for human emotion, because human emotion is disordered, illogical but unpredictable. However, mathematics is about the study of patterns. Various things that are even stock markets, weather, and love can be presented by patterns. So mathematics is powerful, excellent and familiar to you.
In this article, the speaker who is a mathematician says three things: how to win at online dating, how to pick the perfect partner and how to avoid divorce, are mathematically verifiable tips for love.
And then, the verification seemed to show that on an online dating website, you who are attractive doesn't become popular, it's better for a serious marriage partner to reject in the first 37 percent of your dating and positive conversations don't lead to divorce. The methods don't give you a 100 percent success rate, but those are interesting to know that there is really mathematical evidence. In other words, mathematics might be surprising simplicity to show love.

Helen Fisher 2: The brain in love (script)

Nowadays, various study of brain is carried. It can show you what happens in the brain, even when you become in love.
In your brain, romantic love is shown as the most powerful sensation. The A10 cells become active. It makes and sprays dopamine more. The brain circuit for the reward is working more when you can't get the love you want. It's figured out that romantic love is a drive, a basic mating drive. Not the sex drive. It's also figured out that it's an addiction.
The brain has areas that are associated with intense romantic love. However, it's not been clearly figured out why you fall in love with one person rather than another yet. It seems that there's a biology to that.
Even if you understand all kinds of brain mechanisms, men and women firstly have different brain systems. Especially, love is deeply embedded in the brain. They have to understand each other well.

Summary
After reading this article, I noticed that this article had announced 10 years ago. Thus, l'm just living there when is in the biggest social trend that the speaker said. It means that in the article, she said two most profound social trends in the coming century: women working is going to be the workforce and the aging of world population is advancing. And then, it's going to have an impact on our important brain systems: lust, romantic love and deep attachment to a partner. It shows that women have their sexual expression more and it seems to be seen that they desert an important generative function.  She said that it means that it's returning to an ancient. Furthermore, using antidepressants tampers with those brain systems.
I don't think that it's progressing in a good direction, she didn't tell us this, though. However, she said that a world without love is a deadly place.
Why we love, because millions of years ago, the circuits of evolved the sex drive, romantic love and attachment to a long term partner, are deeply embedded.
