Playtime Comments : [TED] How craving attention makes you less creative | Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Ry*******:

He is spot-on. I wish everyone could have success on social media to realize that like winning the lottery, there are unintended consequences. Just because you have a “K” or an “M” underneath your username doesn’t mean you have a perfect life. I used to get hyper-focused on the external outcomes of my creations online that I lacked substance to begin with. I was a young clickbait agent, releasing repackaged, unoriginal, meaningless content. I lost myself in the process. I’ve been trying to discover who I am ever since, and taking time off social media has done wonders for my mental health. I relate heavily to 7:53. I need to be focused inwardly on my creative process far more. It’s easy to get lost in the numbers when attention is intrinsically woven into the fabric of social media business models. The current wave of people getting obsessed with making viral TikToks should watch this. We must stop romanticizing these abstract pathways to digital addiction, because they are difficult to identify and they massively contribute to our youth’s low self-esteem and loneliness epidemics. We are not the problem. Technology is not the problem. It boils down to how & why we use it.

Je*****:

3:01 - Joseph : « The more I go after that powerful feeling of getting attention, the unhappier I am »
- Guy in public : Gives attention.

Su*******:

10:30 What I got out of it was this: When I'm doing homework, I have to see it as a 'collaborator' more than a 'competitor'. I have to not compare my grades to my friend's grades. Just focusing on doing the best that I can in whatever I'm doing.

Am***************:

11:35 is the most inspiring one for me personally

Ka***********:

3:11 The audience intelligently all stop clapping because they realized they were going to ruin the idea. Proud of you audience <3

ta**********:

9:54
The author of the book being shown is a pioneer in a field of psychology that's called positive psychology. It's the field of psychology where the target is to enrich your experiences and overall life by improving your psychological state. You don't need to be unwell to participate in this field of psychology and that's what I find really great about it.
It's like an upgrade button for life

BD***:

Love this line 9:14 "If your creativity is driven by a desire to get attention you are never gonna be creatively fulfilled "

Mi******:

3:08 That was me clapping from the comfort of my house, surprised it was caught on film

Ti********:

9:14 "If your creativity is driven by a desire to get attention, you're never gonna be creatively fulfilled."

Sn**:

3:08: One person claps
Joseph Gordon-Levitt : Thanks
3:13: Everyone starts clapping


looool

Top Comments : [TED] How craving attention makes you less creative | Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Pr***********:

I followed him on instagram after this Ted talk

O*:

gotta admit, I clicked because Joseph Gordon-Levitt had my attention

Un********:

Stop reading comments and pay attention

jo***:

He's admitting his narcissism unlike most other actors

Ma********:

this dude kinda look like joseph gordon levitt

li*******:

actors can sound so wise and smart when not being interviewed by E news.

Th**************:

Imagine being Rocky right now and hearing that JGL had a crush on you.

Da**:

I’m not an actor, but I took some classes many years ago. Our teacher used to say: “Be interested, not interesting.” This has been most useful advice for me when interacting with people and with the world.

2R************************:

He speaks so beautifully, I just loved that, every single world is pronounced so clearly and adorably, plus his charisma of acting, after this speech I became to admire him mor

su***:

I always hated him for the scene he did with Scarlett Johansson in the film don jon but not now . After listening to this he taught me a good lesson.

Cl************:

This help me alot. Because I felt envy towards a friend of mind when I shouldn’t just because the person I like is much more closer to her. I got jealous too because I did everything I could to get his attention. But now this made me realised that, I should be paying attention and not asking for attention. It made me envious and more depressed. I became more sad because I was also doing things just to get his attention, I can’t see that I’m improving.

Ar*****************:

I was going through so much pain and discomfort and while it couldve been more than just social media, but I didnt even see social media as a problem and I think thats when I was in the thick of social media addiction.

Fi************:

"Stop compete, let's complete."
My motto is related with this.

Ni*******:

The irony is, we can't even make a youtube comment without craving attention. Back to liking in the shadows to work on the Zen state of paying attention.

Lu******:

The more time you spend on social media, the less time you spend creating things. Every time we choose to do something, we also choose not to do other things. Time spent cannot be regained, so it's important to choose something that matters to you personally. In that way, you will have less regrets looking back.

Bl*********:

Bruh after saving Gotham, Robin straight up started giving TED talks..

En**********:

When a famous actor (who gets used to get attention easily) said that seeking attention can kill your creativity and what matters to u, so it must be 100% true. Start from now, I ll never do something to get attention,but pay attention to what i've been doing n working (including my comment on this channel). It must be one of d correct tools to not worry so much bout what people think bout us.

Se********:

I've always loved him as an actor and it's really refreshing when someone this successful is both so humble and helping to spread some great concepts and important messages. These talks in general really get you thinking and I love it when one of them gets me engrossed in the topic. Thanks for providing these!!!

Li*********:

he’s so cute I love him

Ja*******:

Powerful speech and a great point. Too many people addicted to instagram

ma**********:

The youtube algorythm has some good timing

ur**********:

Most people use social media to find their self worth. FACT

Wr*********:

That one dude who clapped was a legend.
Also... This whole speech has helped me as a writer so much. In 14 minutes I've realized that my focus has shifted from paying attention to seeking attention... I need to shft back. Thanks! Inception is my favorite movie. Because JGL will see this.

Ja******:

His honesty helped him to get my attention.

Li************:

I love his humor and honesty! Loved this talk

Ja***********:

ive always loved him, this makes me love him more

Dh*********:

So, there's these two powerful feelings. There's getting attention and paying attention.

Anytime somebody posts on Instagram, they get a certain amount of attention from their followers, whether they have a few followers or a few million followers. And the more attention you're able to get, the more attention Instagram is able to sell. So it's in Instagram's interest for you to get as much attention as possible. And so it trains you to want that attention, to crave it, to feel stressed out when you're not getting enough of it. Instagram gets its users addicted to the powerful feeling of getting attention. And I know we all joke, like, "Oh my God, I'm so addicted to my phone," but this is a real addiction. There's a whole science to it. If you're curious, I recommend the work of Jaron Lanier, Tristan Harris, Nir Eyal.

Being addicted to getting attention is just like being addicted to anything else. It's never enough.

Because the follower count makes everybody feel terrible about themselves. That feeling of inadequacy is what drives you to post, so you can get more attention, and then that attention that you get is what these companies sell, that's how they make their money. So there is no amount of attention you can get where you feel like you've arrived, and you're like, "Ah, I'm good now."

If your creativity is driven by a desire to get attention, you're never going to be creatively fulfilled.

There is this other powerful feeling. Something else you can do with your attention besides letting a giant tech company control it and sell it. This is that feeling I was talking about, why I love acting so much -- it's being able to pay attention to just one thing. Turns out there's actually some science behind this too. Psychologists and neuroscientists -- they study a phenomenon they call flow, which is this thing that happens in the human brain when someone pays attention to just one thing, like something creative, and manages not to get distracted by anything else. And some say the more regularly you do this, the happier you'll be.

I try not to see other creative people as my competitors. I try to find collaborators.

Ow*****:

I've been burnt out in my acting career for this exact reason: how the industry and the majority of people in it prioritize attention and social media traffic rather than the quality of their work and the fulfillment and authenticity of their art and personalities. At first I was feeling inadequate for prioritizing my mental well-being and artistic expression as opposed to whatever else was doing. Watching this made me realize there are still some people out there like me and encourages me to keep pursuing my acting career. Thank you TED and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Ya****:

I feel like Joseph is intuitively tapping into something much deeper regarding how powerful of a tool attention can be. If we take Jungian psychology and shadow work, which is the basis of the most successful models of therapy imo, it's essentially controlling what we pay conscious attention to, and bringing forth into consciousness that which we do NOT want to pay attention to (aka our shadows, the parts of us we resist so much we don't even identify with) in order to integrate them, and Joseph bearing his shadows and wholeheartedly owning them so openly to a very large group of people is a very powerful thing. Which is why group therapy or partner programs like AA (or church, really) work so well. When a large group all pay focused attention to the same thing and keep each other in check, deep synergy and transformation can happen that are greater than the sum of their parts, but both externally and internally in every individual. So I hope no one takes this to mean attention is a bad, evil thing that we should never desire. it's just a powerful tool that you can remind yourself you always have the choice to direct.
