    For everyone wondering what her point is, I think her point is that there's more information in what we look at then just what we see, and once you start looking for that extra information, you find out how much you were missing out on.

      So where she needed 13 minutes to make some vague point, you just told us all we needed to know in about 10 seconds.

      this is what my gramps would've called, "cutting through the bull."
      thank you. all the buzz words and chittering she was doing was literally giving me heart burn.
      i mean sure, it's great she's able to pay her bills with the use of double talk and psycho-babble. but not my cup of tea.

    “…and we need to convert observable details into actionable knowledge…”. This TED talk will leave an impression - it’s both thoughtful and thought provoking and the artwork provided great examples to emphasize the importance of visual learning. Amy Herman offers a compelling and engaging presentation. Great stuff!

    The information she is trying to pass across is that, we should be able to SEE beyond LOOKING. There are information one can get by looking deeply into ourselves, the world, things, events that will help us to live a better life, unravel hidden things and solve mysteries in a unique way.
    By focusing on her voice, dressing and body language, you shift your focus from the information she is trying to pass across and become judgemental which is what we do on a daily basis and miss important information that might be helpful for us.

How can we watch a t.v. show of a person watching a t.v. show of a person watching a television? Is it just a vision or if we broadcast 🎣 can it become a reality? How real it must feel for the fish on the phishy fishing program- Now that's reel~

    If you're wondering what this is about, this talk was just to notify us on on the importance of Visual Intelligence on our daily life, she isn't talking about the ways to achieve it per se. If you want to understand what she's saying and master the skill of Visual Intelligence, I'd highly recommend you to read her book "Visual Intelligence: Sharpen Your Perception, Change Your Life". It's a life changing read and it is worth it.

    My dad is a retired police officer. One year, a photography company did portraits of all the police squad and made trading cards with stats a quote from each individual. My dad's quote was "THINK TWICE - ACT ONCE." My dad came home with hundreds of these cards. My sisters and I were in our twenties and riding high on the party circuit. We would pass out these cards at parties to friends and strangers. Now we are all in our late 30s. Our friends still pull out these crinkling cards from their wallets and exclaim, "THINK TWICE - ACT ONCE!" Or I'll see them on someone's fridge and they'll tell me, "My old roommate left that here, I didn't realize that was your dad!"

    Her point is totally legit, as they say in chess "if you see a good move, look for a better move". This is just not a good lesson, she has 12 minutes of time and shows a bunch of pictures telling people about someone looking at one of them for 5 minutes instead of looking with the audience at one of the pictures for more than a couple of seconds. A weird educational blunder on her part here :)

      It's not a lie but it's not reality either. It's our interpretation of reality. Our brain turns what it sees into symbols according to our experience heavily influenced by your society and our language. Seeing like an artist requires looking beyond the symbols to arrive closer to what is really there.

    She's right because I am an Artist individual realm as well... and many people are missing a big part of the picture because they can't see more.
    ...AND, she made a point that the policeman is bad because he assumed that the singular character contrasted by everybody else's discontent was causing negativity.. but it is a defensive response to the negativity that the others have already established.
    I would hope that Jesus would federally prosecute the police officer for violating his rights and using a biased judgment to commit malpractice with his man-made authority.
