Playtime Comments : [TED] Why our IQ levels are higher than our grandparents' | James Flynn

Mu************:

16:24
"And if you're ignorant of history of other countries, you can't do politics"
Thank you James Flynn

Ja*********:

12:47 I suddenly love this guy

Ty*********:

I think an impressive part is that he only said "Uh" once in the 18:40 it took him to say all that he did.

su********:

7:31 "You can't do science without classifying the world"

Sh***************:

'' B'h Great journalism  Thank you.  Hope your going back to the beach this Saturday night ? Perhaps 8:00 pm ? Police will be blocking cherry beach once again ? Scare tactics ! When will police stop scaring children and adults from listening to music on a beach until sundown to sunrise ? Reminds me of a Yiddish song - sunrise sunset. Let the people recognize that they should be able to listen to music when the stars come out on Saturday night until the sun rises Sunday morning. Some Biblical scholars would say that would be the start of the physical work week, the day after God rested from the past week to start the next week. Some remember historically you should work six days and rest on the seventh. It doesn’t say when the start of the first day - thou shall not play music on the first day ? Does it say thou shall not light fire on the first day ? Does it say thou shall not be on the beach until the sun rises on the first day ? Flashback ? I thought cherry beach historically was native land ? Which tribe ? Was it the legal jargon of our great city that kicked natives off this land to send them to remote reserves so they couldn't have the Biblical right to start the work week by using nature's wood to be used on a fire ? That's non processed wood folks ! No foreign objects in a traditional holistic fire that we have historically forgotten because our government that the citizens elected decided to renounce the rights of the native people to their indigenous rights on what is now called cherry beach ? No live chickens to sell ? No roosters to be bought ? No traditional trade ? No presence of the right to be on  indigenous land until sunrise ? Hypocrisy? now I understand why citizens want to defund the police ? I don't fully agree with this. To have police turn away children and adults from indigenous land is not right ! This is against our freedoms biblically. The right to use non processed wood for a fire on indigenous land is hypocrisy  This is especially significant as God told it's people - On the first day ... The citizens of this great land have been tricked ? Rebel news and other media savvy citizens it is time to report and stand up for freedom. The right for traditional trade practices, the rights of the presence to be on indigenous land from sundown on sunrise, to be allowed to listen to music on the first day as a commemoration of the Biblical start to a work week. It is time to fight a Hypocrisy of police telling people of this great land to leave indigiounous lands and giving them paper tickets to keep us away ? It is not right to have police cars blocking the entrance of cherry beach at 8 pm in order to prevent the rights of all of us to be on indigenous land from the early evening until sunrise !

Top Comments : [TED] Why our IQ levels are higher than our grandparents' | James Flynn

Gr******:

I figure folks' IQ's got higher due to trying to understand more and more new information and methods of thought.

Sh**********:

I wish I would have a grandpa like him. What a wonderful speech. Love it.

Al*******:

Better nutrition is a factor as well. Unfortunately it seems that people's moral loyalties are more up for grabs, since they can appreciate arguments that appear universal and logical, but lack the analytical ability to get to the bottom and make rational judgments.

Pa****************:

What an awesome speaker! I didn't move an inch throughout watching this, and listened with full concentration.

UJ*:

Other ted talkers need to learn something from this talk! No unfunny jokes , no excessive hand gestures, no images !
But far more attention seeking
Pure Informational speech !

Hi******:

He taught me political philosophy at University, fascinating guy.

Ru****:

I'm watching this and all I can think of is the huge difference in the quality of this talk and the average TEDx talk.

ty*****:

He put his finger on something that i've experienced in many online debates but was never able to concretely realize. It's futile to debate with some people who can't consider hypotheticals, and that it's a common thread between racist and bigots.

Be******************:

It fluctuates generationally and/or culturally. Just always keep an eye out for innovation.

JO***:

Reward systems have changed. With new motivations, come new focuses of personal attention.

wa**********:

I'm fascinated by people like Flynn, possessing a continuity of though enabling them to move seamlessly from one point or concept to the next, without pause, and without having to rely on notes or to stop to formulate the next thought. His is what a highly organized mind looks like.

Be******:

"WOW" And people wonder that YouTube is displacing television amongst those who like Informative programmes/Documentaries. Thank you James Flynn for your logic based eloquence.

Xe**:

The people he's talking about did not disappear. TED-Ed's riddle videos comment section is full of them.

Su************:

If this guy was my lecturer. I'D GO TO CLASS EVERY DAY. EARLIER. AND STAY BACK FOR EXTRA LESSONS.

Se*******:

More people need to be as intelligent and open minded as this man

Ga**********:

" the more I know the less I understand, all the things I thought I'd figured out I have to learn again"... Heart of the Matter. Don Henley!

Da************:

Sadly, I have learned today that Professor James Flynn has died.

m*:

The computer’s voice from the movie “War Games” comes to mind instantly.

Vi***********:

This is probably the best ted talk ever.

Pe*********:

His voice is like a crisp buttered bagel

ch*******:

If Siri sounded like this i'd actually use it

Ma******:

who else loves this guys voice. Him and Morgan Freeman together would be amazing.

Ch********************:

Going back even further, low performance was linked with poor nutrition.

Jo********:

Having lived in Africa all my life, I've observed that Africans tend to live for today, in the now, with no thought for tomorrow, so tomorrow's outcomes are random, never planned, uncertain... and we can clearly observe the results for ourselves, right?

Ha******:

Not sure many of today's young people could thrive as pioneers and settlers in western Canada in the late 1800s.

Lu*******:

Wow! weird concept to think about, I honestly have had debates with my grandparents about morals and using logic and hypotheticals never works. I never stopped to think that they don't think this way.

Fr**********:

Certified badass.
He just walked off. What

Fl***********:

What a speaker!

I've had many problems speaking to the previous generations because they didn't take the hypothetical seriously. It's so freaking annoying!

Si*****:

This man is brilliant! Very interesting speech!

Ch************:

James Flynn For US President 2020!

Pa**********:

Ideas of paramount importance for all to be exposed to and consider.

Su******:

I could listen to James Flynn all day. Lucid, straightforward and almost no ummms or uhhhs.

Wi********:

Huh...very good talk! Helps explain why my dad often discredited my ideas...it never occurred to me, way back then, that he simply couldn’t open his mind on some things...he was very similar to this guy, but stuck on some things... I remember, in the 1950’s, telling dad, “it sure looks like all the continents used to all fit together...now the continents are like puzzle pieces fallen out of their box”....he said, emphatically, “that’s impossible! There’s no proofs that continents move like that!”
But not much more than about 10 yrs later, science did prove it. And so much more!

Na********:

A humorous fantasy story I read had a mountain-man-type hunter hired to lead a group through a wilderness. After some days of struggle, they asked him where their destination was and what was the best route there. He gave them some explanation that they could not follow since they did not know the places he was referencing. So they opened up a map of the area (with only a few known landmarks on it) and asked their guide where they currently were on the map. He said that they were not on the map, they were on the ground. They tried various ways to make him understand what a map was and he eventually tried to jump onto the map since they insisted they were supposed to be "on" it, which they had to grab him to prevent. A cement block with legs...

la***********:

I'm sticking with a hypothesis I had in my 20's back in the 1990's... and it actually goes along with some of what he's saying.... it's mostly about standing on the shoulders of those before. Doesn't matter how much better our IQ's might be as life goes on, as long as we're dealing with better tools and starting points, we have to remember how we obtained THEM. Certainly not from scratch. Also, if you simply brought somebody from 1900 straight to this time period as a toddler and let them grow up exposed to millennials lives, there would be no difference in their performance and "modern" kids today.
There is some evolution being noticed by scientists by weird new evidence about people passing things they learn to their kids before they are born, but I'm not going further than mentioning it. For the most part though... it's been obvious to me that we keep building on top of what was before, and then complimenting ourselves on what we accomplished.
