    I will surely regard this as an extended UA-cam ad in 11 mins. Nice Job TEDx!! I assimilated nothing more than the word 'Genome project' without your amicable knowledge.

      Yep, just a bunch of catch phrases and cool sounding stuff with no actual information.

    Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy?
    One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind.
    I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist.
    So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark.
    In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all.
    The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise.
    Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct.
    Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership-and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world-is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people.

    Get rid of them all redo the whole system where it’s completely open and honest no classified information no lies to start wars have both sides say there opinion in all matters including people and countries and have them heard by all.if any are caught lying bring in another person. Then maybe People would start to trust

    OK....I got it...Thank you. When you're in the process, it is sometimes hard to trust the process.

    Less government, less laws, less taxes, less rules, less regulations. Less nanny state nonsense. Take care.

      Maybe not less laws or rules. We need more regulations too

      Exactly. This video started off so well. I though for sure he would call for less government as away to increase trust.
      NOPE.
      More government with algorithms because algorithms are so well trusted already. He is arguing that since we can take music and have algorithms that sort it we can somehow sort research papers with algorithms.
      The problem is music can be directly analyzed. A research paper is already removed from the actual event as it is a humans biased interpretation of the results. Not only that, it has been found that a vast majority of published research is wrong. So not only are these papers being put into the algorithms already biased, they are also likely wrong, people dont trust algorithms, and on top of that people will adapt and learn how to write their research to appease the algorithm.
      This started so well then ended with a bunch of catch phrases and calls for yet more government, big tech, bid data, and more of our lives being decided by some all powerful algorithm.
