This talk reminded me of the term "existential crisis". It is a unique emotion that has only recently begun taking hold of our society. It stems from the fact that we have begun being aware of our place in the universe, and the anxiousness we feel about our future. It can be a powerful emotion, because it puts in perspective just how important our choices are, and the impact our decisions, or lack of decision making, is.
This type of education should start at young age. It is such an interesting world, the world of feelings and emotions. This reminded me of a quote: ''The more we accept our humanness and our feelings for what they actually are, rather than what we wish they were, the more we digest them and grow as a human being'' - Andrew Kenneth Fretwell. From his book Emotional Alchemy The Love And Freedom Hidden within Painful Feelings.
One of the most interesting (and most satisfying to say) untranslatable words out there is Schadenfreude, the feeling of happiness when things go badly for other people. In fact, Tiffany Watt-Smith has written an excellent book on it - Schadenfreude: the joy of another's misfortune.
Great hollistic perspective on emotions. I knew language had a role in the shaping of our reality, but emotions and the etiology behind the history of those terms completely escaped me. Well done!
uniquely german word for an emotion: "fremdschämen" (stranger shaming) - the feeling of being emberrassed yourself when watching somebody else doing something emberrassing
Benjamin Lazar it literally means "stranger shaming" but i guess that doesn't sound too good in english, also it doesn't mean that it only happens with strangers - it happens a lot more with good friends when they do something emberrassing in public for example
i am a benevolent warrior....i fight and give at the same time...no one need to be like that...but understand those who cannot and maybe they will too..if not than not
An offshoot of this talk would be to quantify and journal everything (even the pettiest of things) that happen in our lives; and this helps us to better deal with life
Eskimos had several different words for "snow". And yet I'm pretty sure that isn't what caused it to snow so much where they lived. Words follow meaning, not the other way around. If you think you can make yourself feel something different just by repeating a word to yourself, you don't understand emotions or yourself. For some reason we find it unbelievable that people in different eras could be different from ourselves. An individual can be strongly influenced by epigenetics, right? So what happens when an entire population goes through an environmental change?

it's called Hwyl because it describes the force a large group of Humans is capable of producing - enough to power ships towards whichever destination they CHOOSE. Controlled Energy. I find it odd that the definition of Humanity describes something very different from what's observable. And I find it depressing that despite having anatomy and physiology that promotes humanitarianism and mechanisms for rewarding altruistic behavior and EVERYBODY APPLAUDS a good philanthropist and nature tends to continue developing those traits which offer greatest rewards - Humankind is literally devolving into Mankind; Shedding those organs from which Humanity came. It breaks my heart that the human race has become so deformed and genetically defective that the penial gland, gall bladder and appendix are becoming something evolution has yet to sweep up off of the cutting room floor. Knowing that EVOLUTION favors those traits that offer greater rewards and knowing that Love is the greatest reward of all, you'd think that more people would be loving. Since our own physiology rewards us for being Loving then that trait should develope in precisely the same way the giraffes neck did and our Love should be "big" enough to encapsulate a community. But while the giraffes neck continued to develop until it could reach the tree tops, our organs shriveled and atrophied. we are all thalidomide babies on the inside 😭😭😭
Hey you can call Sanjay manjul a great Indian archeological it's has great sense in harrapan civilization and a great point of understanding and is a great painter as well
It would be great if you can answer this question. Thank you for your help. What is the video about? A. The history of emotions B. The relationship between language and emotions C. The impact of culture on emotions D. All of the above According to the video, what are emotions? A. Simple reflexes B. Both C and D C. Immensely complex, elastic systems D. Cognitive phenomena According to the video, what do we need to do to be truly emotionally intelligent? A. Learn new words for emotions. B. Understand where those words have come from. C. Understand what ideas those words are smuggling along with them. D. All of the above What is nostalgia? A. feeling of maddening dissatisfaction B. sickening for a lost time rather than a lost place C. powerful form of homesickness D. Both B and C Do you think it's easy or hard to pinpoint exactly what you're feeling? Why is emotional intelligence considered an important skill? Can you explain the theory that our entire emotional lives can be boiled down to a handful of basic emotions? How are emotions used and manipulated in our society today?
This is was a very interesting TED talk. I've felt this "dismay" emotion myself a few times, but didn't quite understand it. I always thought swooning is just made up for drama, not something people actually do. And it also seems rather arbitrary. During my time in the army, I've seen a lot of ugly things but there is a very specific kind of injury, where even thinking about it makes me feel very strong dismay for no apparent reason. I've also discovered the same effect on other, completely unrelated concepts. Maybe the emotion itself isn't gone, maybe we just stopped recognizing it as such. Any book recommendations on that topics are very welcome!
I was wondering how we have evolved. Everything around us has evolved to suit our comfort. But there's one thing that hasn't. It's same for all. No new definition.- Emotions-.
Well maybe defining what a emotion is for starters.labling a feeling is not definition for emotion . As a historian I think you should also study psychology to give you a better understanding of what emotions are, also linguistics will help you understand how words are charged with vocalization .
Fantastic describe Analysis Philosophy in Depth Emotion Cognitive Human!!!! Affect the degree in our Emotion of positive or negative is the sense of humanity, but how to control the feelings and your ability to deep feelings is mind in the feel in love is beautiful positive control of strong feelings be through the realization in the positive, but your emotions deep in the minds of mankind Better Idea.
Human emotions are waste of time... I mean for me... For me its not gonna work... Even if u love or hate u gonna die one day even if you make money or no you gonna die one day... Every feelings In this world will seldom once then why can't we enjoy our temporary life by indulging into all the temporary pleasures of this world... You na what I mean yooo boom boom .... Enjoy take care
Very insightful but I think the discussion could have been better explained if Tiffany used some references to primordial beings, especially documented behavior prior to speech being acquired and behavior as language evolved. I often consider if the advancement is speech was the reason humans evolved from cave dwellers to humans who work on a micro and macro level unconsidered just 100 years ago. A historically short period of time that has seen unprecedented technological advancement.
This is simply a pile of bullocks; complete nonsense! How can this actually be a TED talk?!?!?! Did TED seriously lower their standards or what? Actually, we just need to know if it feels good or bad to us & exactly why; the rest is just meaningless labels, really!

2:35. The woman in the lime jacket looks at the man to her left. Possibly the best timing of facial expressions ever

I guess “gloat” meets the definition of schadenfreude

While this was not what I was necessarily looking for, I thought it was great! I watched the entire video and was truly engaged the whole time.

Not a unique emotion...a unique word for an emotion that non-Germans also feel. Regardless, thanks for sharing.
glad to share, thanks for correcting!
Oh my God, I feel that all the time. Now I know it has a name but I can not pronounce it.
Benjamin Lazar it literally means "stranger shaming" but i guess that doesn't sound too good in english, also it doesn't mean that it only happens with strangers - it happens a lot more with good friends when they do something emberrassing in public for example
Thanks, I finally know what I’m feeling when watching movies XD

Спасибо за русские субтитры! Выступление потрясающее. Спасибо, Тиффани!
Love from Indian civilization
take the anger upon youself and defuse it hurts a lot and i recommend to only who can take such pain and anger but be like that
I thought she is an psychologist but at the end of the video she said she is 13:46 an historian. #amazed

homesickness was stress and a result of trauma - that is why. Because now we define it differently, because we understand it more.
The insight on emotions was amazing!!
emotions are very effective system, they happen immediately and react at once.
This is stellar. Thank you.

If there is one important thing left from this lecture is Arabic words, the range & meanings would surprise you.
Dépaysement
This is beautiful. Thank you!

I mean I didn't feel anything during the beginning of her speech
Easy,&;
to the point.
Thank’s a lot.
Ps:’a man child’.
✍🏻:’hoping;
google doesn’t get irritated,
for been stubborn with thank’s.’
I'm surprised she didn't mention "saudades"
Too common.
Saudade não tem bem uma tradução à letra para inglês
Where’s the evolutionary part the title promises? Disappointing…
No Tiffany! Barrett's theory is full of gaping holes:
Really? Why
Am I just a sociopath or does anyone else like feeling sad?
Sociopaths don't feel sad
