Fear, Anger and How to Counter the Manipulation of the Human Mind | Nicole LeFavour | TEDxBoise

- How can we push back on a world focused on anger and turning fear into blame? Learn how everyday acts of bravery and symbolic gestures can be used to give hope and inspire action rather than despair. Nicole LeFavour is a student of cognitive science and former State Senator who left elected office to organize peaceful civil disobedience in her own state capitol. Here she draws on the work of Jennifer Lerner and her research on decision making, going on to discuss the manipulation of human emotions, and how we can combat the crisis of despair by changing memes which anger us and taking action in real life to make others feel less alone..
Nicole LeFavour served for four years in the Idaho House of Representatives and four years in the state Senate. She left formal elected office to try to make change from the outside. In 2014 helped organize over 200 people to do silent, peaceful, respectful acts of civil disobedience to change state policy to protect the rights of gay and transgender Idahoans. After well over 200 peaceful arrests inside the state Capitol, people can still be fired, evicted and refused service in Idaho for being gay or transgender. Ever focused on all that has been gained, LeFavour and others continue to work for protection on the state and national level.

This is an academic talk about fear in media on a societal level. It's not about inner growth of people as individuals.
Thank you
Tại sao không phải là sự phát triển nội tâm của con người với tư cách cá nhân, trong khi xã hội chỉ là bao gồm nhiều con người, mỗi con người là mỗi tế bào của xã hội. Nếu mỗi người trong cái xã hội đó thông suốt thì chắc chắn xã hội đó thông suốt. Không có từng con người thì không có xã hội.
This was wonderful. I truly enjoyed this. Not only did you go into the sociology of the way fear affects society as a whole, but you dove into the psychology of how it affects our behaviour and reasoning. Then offering a comparison on fear and anger to even further your statement backed by evidence. I really enjoyed the way you presented this talk. Learnt a lot about some things and some I was already aware on. Super happy I was able to view this tonight. I felt completely drawn to this video and there was a reason. I feel it was very thought provoking! I’ve shared it everywhere lol!!
My listening was wide open for this message. I appreciate the defining of fear and anger and how it affects thinking to the degree I was not aware of before. I am placing things out of my life and new things into my life for 2017. This was really helpful!!! Thank You. Susan
Anger makes us take UNREASONABLE Risk...."So True!"
Epic message, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
Anger is a natural reaction that comes back stronger if we reject it, it. There must be another way or I did not get the intended meaning.
Đây không phải là cố gắng từ chối, giả bộ làm ngơ trước cơn nóng giận, mà là do thấy biết được toàn cảnh cục diện hậu quả xấu của nóng giận cho tất cả mọi người mà trở nên biết mình cần phải đối xử lại với nóng giận, chọn lựa là hoà giải.
Chứ hoàn toàn không phải dồn nén để rồi bung ra như điều bạn nói.

Good talk, spot on and very timely. This is an area in which I've done independent study as well. Fear, as you've pointed out is a part of the fight/flight response deep within our triune brain. The fight/flight response is mitigated by the amygdala. The amygdala controls the body's hormones, what kinds of information and experiences are parsed into long term memories, and it's the emotional center of the brain. It can overrule the conscious decision making area of our neo-cortex. It's ancient, and as you've pointed out is in some ways the nerve center for our survival instincts. The amygdala has been shown to be enlarged in people with bipolar illness and creative, artistic personality types.
I used to think how people respond to that immediate impulse was personality driven and it is but to another extent, I'm convinced it's culturally bound as well and it could well be almost 50/50. It's bound to the emotions generated when people chose a political figure or take a side on a moral decision or embrace a religious stance. I wish it were enough to be aware of it and think my knowledge of it could effect the thinking of others but it can't. Thanks for offering the voice, I can't.

What the hell was the meme editting/ macbook advert all about?
It's about how a negative message can be converted into a positive one. She shown how easy it is. It does not take many skills but we only need to have the will to do it.
Classic shitpost
Ikr dude

The " rights of Englishmen " are the perceived traditional rights FOR ALL THAT WANT TO EVOLVE IN OPENED LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT of English subjects and later English speaking subjects of the AMERICANS THAT WANT MORE THAN ONLY BASSIC COMMUNITY .
I like the talk but what bothers me about academics is they sometimes lack humor. The meme she changed was meant to be funny. It's the concept of irony. Being that it starts off with a pejorative stance toward negativity followed by the most negative statement one can make toward another being... That's the joke. The meme was making fun of itself. Maybe she didn't get the joke or maybe the example was just a poor one. All she did was took a funny meme and made it un-funny, which to me does nothing to advance awareness. Comedy is critical and also says dark things with the intent to enlighten.
the original meme could have been funnier but I agree with you.
The venue accidentally got my slides a bit out of order and so my words did not exactly match with the meme on the screen. It was much funnier in practice. Sorry. It did fall flat on the video. I promise I'm not an academic.
that meme wasn't funny, it was sarcastic which can be funny for few who understands dark humor but it wasn't funny for everyone and was mostly negative emotion causing, so that's why she used it...
You just seem cool girl...rock on
i made it as far as "racism" 0:30
So, you hit a trigger and stopped trying to learn. Not something I would necessarily brag about in a public forum.
Why does she keep affirming “I’m afraid “
Because defiant people or non ethical regimes cause fear and devision..also fear eventually becomes a defense mechanism sometimes aggressive
Fighting the good fight, one meme at a time xD

4:03 You're wearing thin. We need some examples.
6:40 Have a nice day...
tf is she on about. why is she editing a meme
Because memes are viral ideas used to carry and/or manipulate messages, I dunno, just a wild guess
Pish water
