Dan Barber : How I fell in love with a fish

Dan Barber·TED2010
How I fell in love with a fish
Summary 

The story was taken about over ten years ago. Could we change our agricultural and business systems? I think that is why we had faced the pandemic strongly. Still, humans eat meat and fish too much without thinking about depleting resources. 

To create better rotations must be the better business. Agriculture, fish, and animal industries also have to have such thoughts. Humans eat too much, and then other animals lose their food. It’s strange, isn’t it?

The speaker really likes to eat delicious fish, like falling in love with a fish. He wants to continue to eat it. For continuing it and our good food of the future, we have to stop the agribusiness model now. We have to raise fish more, plant vegetables, thus we need rich soil and oceans. Not only we but also all animals eat forever and to create a better cycle is our responsibility.

A queer journey from shame self-love 
Summary 

The talk is for anyone who is struggling with becoming exactly who they’re meant to be. 

The speaker is a gay. His journey started not to find himself in the mirror, he lied, and then, he felt self-hatred because he couldn’t believe things that were objectively true. It means that he didn’t believe that he is a gay, though, it was his shame, but he chose to live safely and he realized that he didn’t need everyone to accept everything about him.

Electronic pills that could transform how we treat disease 
Summary 

Electronic pills are called digital pills, smart pills, and ingestible sensors as well. By a small jolt of electricity, it can target and treat chronic diseases and it contains “bionuges”: bursts of electrical or chemical stimuli, light, and modulation, can control appetite, aid digestion, regulate hormones. lt leads to treating diabetes, obesity, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s. It doesn’t need chronic drugs, drills, surgery, and hospital stay. People will avoid side effects, Furthermore, even happiness and reward can be controlled by it. This must be a new gold standard in health care.

Nina Westbrook : How to support yourself (and others) through grief

 Nina Westbrook·How to Deal with Difficult Feelings
How to support yourself (and others) through grief 
Summary 

This past year, because of the pandemic, has been full of both personal and collective grief. We’ve never experienced it but we have correlated the grief with the loss of a dream and we couldn’t embrace it. 

 However, the speaker suggests that you can give yourself permission to grieve and ask for help. Don’t ignore your grief. Even, in your grief moment, it’s okay to feel joy or pleasure and it’s important to set and plan a new goal. It’s also okay to take time, up and down your feelings. This is the process to live well. 

Brian Kateman : How to reduce your diet's carbon footprint — without going vegan

How to reduce your diet's carbon footprint — without going vegan
Summary 

Recently, we often hear the words vegan, vegetarian, and diet’s carbon footprint. 

A vegan means that a person follows the diet or philosophy of veganism which rejects the commodity status of animals. 

A vegetarian means that a person believes in vegetarianism which is the practice of abstaining from the consumption of meat including fish, eggs and etc. 

Diet’s carbon footprint is also called Food’s carbon footprint, or foodprint. It means that the greenhouse gas emissions produced by growing, rearing, farming, processing, transporting, storing, cooking, and disposing of the food you eat. Could we be a vegan or vegetarian for stopping greenhouse gas emissions? It'll lead to stopping climate change.The speaker asked us. Unfortunately, he wasn’t a vegan and vegetarian, but he suggests that we can be a reducitarian soon. 

A reducitarian is someone who’s making the conscious choice to decrease the amount of meat they consume. You don’t need a drastic lifestyle change but you can set manageable and therefore, actionable goals to gradually reduce your meat consumption. 

In fact, only 5% of Americans consider themselves to be a vegetarian, however, if the rest of all people would be a reducitarian who ate meat before try to eat it only on the weekends, it must reduce food’s carbon footprint dramatically and obviously!! We will save our planet, improve our health and save a lot of animals. 

Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski : The cure for burnout (hint: it isn't self-care)

 Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski
The cure for burnout (hint: it isn’t self-care)
Summary 

The speakers are identical twin sisters and the coauthors of a book about burnout. They experienced burnout and one knew it, but another didn’t know it. You mightn’t know it. 

Burnout is not spreading in the workplaces but expanding now. Decreasing sense of accomplishment, separating what you do and what you feel, though, working harder and harder. It leads to emotional exhaustion, physiological symptoms, huge stressors, and then, relaxing is not going to be an effective means of recovering from burnout.  

There’s a lot of overlap between burnout, depression, anxiety, grief, and rage, though, if you feel exhausted, you could pass through the tunnel, find the cycle of stress, and be aware of what is going on in your body. 

With kindness and compassion, you’re able to turn toward difficult feelings. Not self-care or autonomy, you need connection and love. 

The speakers grow up in a household where feelings were not allowed and they were not close their whole lives. They were isolated because they’ve been told that it’s stronger to be independent, though, it doesn’t seem to be true. It’s not too late. Because of the pandemic, everyone who works hard alone possibly faces burnout. However, you deserve care and love. 

Jessica Kerr : Who judges the judges?

Jessica Kerr·TEDxUWA
Who judges the judges?
Summary 

This was a really difficult issue among not only judges but also among all businessmen. Each industry has a different way of advancement, just, it’s traditional.  

The speaker is a lawyer. She was asked to hand down 12-year prison sentences in court in her first month on the job. It’s the right thing, isn’t it?

In fact, judges are just chosen in a confidential and traditional process that heavily relies on advice from senior judges. The legal elite has an obvious interest in maintaining the status quo, no one has responsibilities, though, they can get salaries. 

The speaker suggests being able to say no against the situation, young lawyers and the diverse ones will be supported, and for public confidence, creating a trust that can be explained and justified. The speaker hopes to blow a new wind to choose the judges.
