Modern day philosopher and ethicist, man of honesty and consideration Tristan Harris!

I can't give this enough thumbs up - it should be viewed and understood by everyone on the planet....yesterday.

An important note: how exactly do we influence people to match the complexity? If technology is too complex for the average person, how are you going to convince them to act? If it goes beyond them to understand the issue, how will they contribute to fixing it? People need to get smarter. They need to care more. They need to be more responsible, less passive. And everyone needs to do it.

Great talk, both the diagnosis and the prescription.

Thank you so much for this great video! ❤ Wisdom (& empathy) have been, are and forever will be the best way for everything and I totally agree that we need more of especially wisdom in the institutions. While I‘m not as pessimistic, I‘d like to add that we need to reevaluate the so far useful construct of capitalism that helped us overcome hardship and other obstacles. Though the right of the (economically) strongest is not useful anymore in my opinion. But really I have no better idea, so I‘ll stick with trust in us as human beings :)

I get it now! Thank you so much for this Tristan Harris!

I absolutely love and resonate with your opening statement. I am an AI scientist and humanist and environmentalist and spiritual being. For me, it has been important to integrate all of these aspects of myself in a healthy ethics-centered way. I don't believe that these parts of ourselves are unbridgeable if we engage wisdom in how we address them within ourselves and in a connected way with others. But, we need to work hard to develop our atrophied wisdom muscles. Towards that end, for myself, I've become an ICF coach. And I've conducted wisdom circles and listening sessions as well as engaged in personal and organizational coaching and conservation work along with AI research to grow my wisdom along with those I work with in all those activities. We all have a responsibility to meditate on what challenges us, work to understand others, and put humanity and the planet before our egos and fears. And work towards developing our wisdom from a place of understanding, compassion, awareness, and love.

Thank you for this enlightening talk! I love the analogy on our immune system (government and regulation) vs virus (AI tech) and how fast the 2 evolve in this arm race! Let's win with compassion, humanity, and wisdom!! ❤💕🫀🤓🤩

15.5 minutes of the most pertinent and important wisdom we're likely to hear on YouTube. This, as Tristan said in 'The Social Dilemma', is checkmate on humanity.

Great

Balance🙏

Damn he Killed it, What a Stellar Talk.

This is another great talk from Tristan Harris. But.. I think the title doesn't really do the content justice. This is a massively important message, and I think the title isn't a great hook... (!!). Please keep them coming. Please get those global leaders to understand this stuff, and schools in particular. We need to curb these systems that have done so much damage to constructive dialogue in global society...

I resonate with the message.. Innate curiosity to uncover things.. enjoy creativity, and being self contained..

Noble ! and wise

Amazing ❤🙏

Thank you for putting words to the collective anxiety many feel. A common refrain in institutions towards early adopters is 'deal with your people (cultural) issues before adopting tools to confront issues.' institutions are not the most dynamic adopters because each technology requires a new data reframing in a way that effectively constitutes paradigm shift for those used to institutional adoption pace. It's a lot of work, but it is good work.

Progress is a myth. This talk represents a palatable presentation of the inevitable control mechanisms that will only serve to dehumanize further. It all truly sounds great, but the questions we pose must be deeper. What is progress and should we be pursuing these things at all?

I think it’s a good talk, in particular with respects the challenges that social media has created. I got interested when he started with the human brain context, but didn’t get to really embraced that challenge in the talk. He highlighted effectively that we abuse our brain with negative reinforcements with AI, but not how we can turn that into an advantage. The brain has an uncanny ability to rise to a challenge and overcome ‘suffering’. It’s how we learn. Like the body, society can organise itself towards a complex goal or state, take moonshots for example; ie going to the moon. Problem is, there seems to be a tendency of capitalism to think that fear makes more money. Fear of missing out, fear of hacking, fear of losing money, name it. The component of control and regulation is challenging. Genie is out of the box so to say. Not only that any one anywhere can build it to some extent. It’s not like the construction of a nuclear bomb that we could to some extent control. Digital tech by its nature drives scale, not productivity. He is right that it will grow beyond our ability to grasp it. While we should try to control and minimise negative impact, it’s rise will be inevitable. And since it’s learning from our ‘first contact’, it knows we crave fear….Not how we can turn that around, but should try nonetheless
