It's not a trap. People need to realise that this is reality, and you are meant to be this way. If you have a " bad" life, It's what you deserve because reality is like this for you.
I think he means cynical people are created by how others have treated them since birth. It also seems to be growing now that the majority are starting to realize The World Economic Forum and our own government is literally taking us down as we watch it all go down around us. The elite get more and more wealth and everyone else we have to live on less as everything keeps rising in price and the goverment has allowed NGO'S to run it. It gets worse and it's gonna get real bad if we don't stop it soon. Allegedly. 🙏
I cry listening to the song “Most people are good” because cynicism has consumed my hopeful, optimistic heart. It feels like a painful affirmation. Listening to it regularly is deeply important to me. It feels like cleansing darkness from my soul. Being reminded that being the change you want to see in the world CAN generate waves of positive change helps too. Thank you
Everyone needs to see this! there is a lot of biases and having this frame of mind would help to get to the root of the needed solutions with collaboration
Cynicism is more common in developing countries because resources are scarcer. I am being a cynic by saying that. To all saints and philanthropists in the world, I love and respect you.
Thank you. I needed this today, and will be sharing it with friends and family with whom I have lately been lamenting how cynical I have become after dealing with city government for 9 months to little avail. I hope that folks are just a little more patient, forgiving, and gracious with others, especially when there is little that would preclude them from doing so. All things being equal, others chose to act in good faith. And generous are those who even when all things are not equal, they continue to act in good faith with all. This core belief is not taught in a civics class and is opposite what economists would have you believe about a "rational actor". And yet, all human religions underscore this core belief that we should uplift our neighbor, lend aid the poor, and care for the sick. It is what led these religions to millennia long success over religions and sects without these core tenets. A cynic might ask why should I or where does the giving end, especially if you don't know it will return to you when you are yourself in need. I would ask why not give what you feel able to and trust that others will do so as well. It is comparable to buying a lottery ticket except this one pay outs in improved humanity for all the more who play.
We must keep open to each other and when we actually listen to each other and meet our shared needs then we can all be empowered to seek and give the skills and tools which are the shields that actually work to not only protect us but to fulfill the potential in each of us ❤

It's a little odd to take optimism as the opposite of cynicism. Then what is the opposite of pessimism? Are cynicism and pessimism the same? Obviously not
@Exhithronous cheap take. Socially constructed doesn’t mean meaningless; truth is a construct, and yet we can use it to build rockets and cure diseases.
When you are around people that bring you down you have to let them go and keep moving on until you get to people who care still. You must resist becoming the people you don't like. It's hard but it's the path to fulfillment 😊
Cynicism is a disbelief in the power or existance of good but in saying that we should not be naive. There is no problem in the world that is not the direct consequence of the unrestrained effect human ego.
Exactly because we are all good at heart! That's why we need to keep our optimism and openess to communicate so we can find shared values and work together to find realistic solutions! 😊 it's really possible and it's hard work but the results are so worth the effort! It's work I'm currently doing and I'm very excited because our human potential is limited only by our beliefs and faith in ourselves and our abilities 😊
I love you all.. Greetings dear....😍 Hi dear..

Yes cause and effect is real. We have to remain faithful that people are still good even when evidence is contrary, even when we get hurt! The Love and support we all need is out there we have to be brave and seek it. I hope you will 😊

i have been stuck in this horrible mindset for 3 years now.. this is a very good talk i am grateful for it and will try
I have been mired in cynicism for more than a decade. I wish I could give this talk more likes, and hearts. It helped me.
"Cynicism is not a system upgrade, it's mental malware." This is true on so many levels, and being the IT guy, this got me. Power of TED is beautiful.
So what is the truth? Please enlighten me.
@@pkernoob786 nothing Is true.
No it's not.
There is a difference between cynicism and realism. But realism isn’t based in negativity, but rather, in neutrality. This was a great talk!

Thank you for this video. That was awesome ,I really needed to hear. very well experience.
No se nada de ingles pero me gusta ver estas coferencias.
Thanks
Thanks dude

Imagine humanity being so rotten that *Optimism* has to be sold to you in lectures.
"we can change that mindset" ... Me as a cynical: "no we can't!"
For real, we can't do that.
@@raw_dah i know... it requires SO MUCH energy to get out of this cynicism hole.. its overwhelming.

Is a good idea listening 🎧 speech like this even if I do not understand everything?
maybe or maybe not. Revisit it someday in future when life makes you sad and dejected and feeling that everyone from a particular group is bad
@@jayantnema9610 okay 👍 thanks then.
@TED, bring back the old intro (the big-bang one)
Ah! 😀 Now I know what's missing 👍
How were the "cynics" identified...?
Can anyone tell me what he's talking about, please tell me, please.
plot twist : the entire show was staged to make itself self fulfilling prophecy
It's a little odd to take optimism as the opposite of cynicism. Then what is the opposite of pessimism? Are cynicism and pessimism the same? Obviously not
Faith is the opposite of cynicism 😊 we gotta keep the faith or all is lost. Faith motivates. Cynicism breeds complacency. Don't fall into that trap.
One is caught up playing the impassioned protagonist in one’s Subjective Narrative of Self🎈
@Exhithronous cheap take. Socially constructed doesn’t mean meaningless; truth is a construct, and yet we can use it to build rockets and cure diseases.
i fell like i heard this lecture already..?
I get the message, but what are these graphs. They look like hand made and not emerge from actual data
What about being a realist?
Realism is how we achieve results. Optimism keeps the doors of communication open in order to solve problems in a realistic way 😊
"Giving away money activates parts of the brain, same as eating chocolate", you mean buying the chocolate?
I believed people in the past but I kept getting hurt😢maybe I living in a small lake.
Very good I wish from God that's you live long life

This is great but is cynicism the right word? Wasn't Socrates a cynic? Is pessimist the right word?
They're synonymous 😊
Socrates was more a skeptic than a cynic.
