I take away from this video a sort of nerves and fright. In this video, Dan Ariely explains how we are much influenced in our decision making; more than we may know. In a way it frightens me to think that my decision making and free will is in a way limited when it comes to decisions with options. It also makes me think about how irrational behavior is proving to people that we were deceiving ourselves. Our intuition deceives us, because when we have options and one is more pleasing than the other, it immediately makes us think that one more dominant and we block out other options. This sense makes me wonder if my decisions have been blocked by one option more dominate, and therefore I may have possibly immediately blocked out an option that might have been more successful than the one I chose.
2. What are the speakers effective speaking techniques?
This speakers effective speaking techniques were his ability to put a person in a long train of thought in which he provided examples to allow the listener to understand the concept and relate it back to his/her life.
3. What is his/her presentation style?
His presentation style included many examples and many person-to-person ways in which people could connect.
4. What matters from this video? How does it connect to your personally? To education? To the world?
From this video, many things matter. However, one important concept should be taken out. That concept is that when it comes to building the physical world we come to know our limitations.
Dan Ariely said, "If we understood our limitations, we could design a better world." This is a very important concept to me personally because I try to understand my limitations while at the same time I try to conquer anything that comes my way. This Ted Talk is amazingly honest in telling people that yes, we are all human and therefore we are not superman, we are just people. He compares some to Homer Simpson in saying that if we understand our limitations and what we are capable of, we can understand how to achieve greatness in our world. That is an important concept to take with us in the world, our lives, and in education.
Notes:
1. Stop learning from people
2. Irrational behavior: proving to people that we were deceiving ourselves.
3. Intuition fools us
4. "Decision Illusions"
5. Decisions are not residing inside of our, they are decided by those who decided the form.
6. Inferior options- make the higher option more dominant
7. Useless options- no one wanted it- but useful in helping people decide what to chose.
8. Slightly uglier- more dominant in the pretty person.
9. When it comes to building the physical world we come to know our limitations
10. "If we understood our limitations, we could design a better world."
