Maria Konnikova - Habits of Mind: The Lessons of Sherlock Holmes

[@darkghoul4049]

Note to the cameraman: as much as I like looking at Maria while she’s speaking, I’ll like it better if I can see the slides she’s showing:)

[@davechapman2585]

Its elementry my friend. Obviously the cameraman was not being very mindful or he would have observed the he was not showing the slides.

Good to learn that our brain learns anything we want to learn. I like to learn new languages, that diverses my ideas I add new cultures and my mind expands.

[@miguelaltamirano5834]

I Know some languages too, which do you know

[@deadsparrow28]

I am in love with Maria and now must buy her books.

[@thomaswilkerson2711]

Wish the camera person would've shown more of the visuals she was referencing

[@thenarcissistsscapegoat5091]

This video explains why professionals I know who smoke pot regularly are universally heads-over in character and working intelligence compared to those who don't. It also explains why society has become a heartless brain-dead antidepressant-addicted corpse since cigarettes became a four-letter word.

[@shantanusingh696]

she's genius!!

[@The3nlightened0ne]

The greek philosophers have taught this before. She's just teaching old stuff in way that modern people will understand

[@mehdiammel6821]

She Reminds me of Chelsea Peretti from Brooklyn 99... even her Voice !

[@ChristianoBarbossa_]

Eagle, not Elephant, but the country was right.

[@PishPishoto]

[@pixelfairy]

[@Nery_M22]

"Multitasking is a myth", wow I thought I was the only one..

[@ruiyuzhang4679]

does 1.1 work?

[@timbuktu8069]

Fun fact: Currently there is an insurance company commercial running that uses an emu as a mascot. Think of an animal that starts with "E" has been thrown off.

[@freedomsyukri999]

[@sexymonster7667]

[@RenRen-sj5wp]

[@yogeetabhattarai6786]

[@melinaz3385]

Yeap, it works. the number game, wow,

[@supers1057]

You can design your own magic trick...adding the two numbers is always equal to 9...and take it from there...

Don't talk to me about Sherlock Holmes. There is a ComicCon weekend in my hometown right now full of Sherlock Holmeses. All in deerstalkers, with pipes and flapping cloaks, and fake moustaches (for reasons I don't understand). In a time of covid-19 it is elementary (!) that social distancing prevails, but not with these freaks who mooch about in gangs of 20 or so 'solving' clues provided by the CC crew and bumping into us locals and asking us for help with their project. True, the first S H story was written in my home town when Doyle was a GP here, but it is still damned annoying.

[@Malama_Ki]

BwaaHaaaHaaa!!! You sir miss the entire point and fell under the covid spell.... Way to go sheep; conform with the herd: Baaasahhhh. Go live in your cage of fear and judgment of others.

[@bxcinderella]

is this transcendental meditation? can we do this meditation in the subway or on the plane?

[@thenarcissistsscapegoat5091]

+bxcinderella Dont' try it on a plane! I just read a guy was arrested and flight diverted for doing some yoga in-flight.

[@edkrstic6423]

[@oliverruger391]

Isn't smoking a pipe distracting Holmes from thinking? He's smoking and is in deep thought, which would be multitasking. I get that Arthur wrote it that way because it makes Holmes seem cool. But in context with your explanation of multitasking it's counterproductive, right?

[@karanabrol4487]

Oliver Müller he is not focussing on smoking the pipe

[@sexymonster7667]

Oliver Müller he use pot to make himself calmer and occasionally elevate his thought process

[@Daemoarak]

For the number trick, I started with 1, which led me to 9. After subtracting 5, I ended up with 4. I thought of the letter ‘R’ and went to Russia. I chose a unicorn fish, purple in color. Not today magic trick, not today.

[@sitdod17]

The magic trick didn't work on you because you didn't follow the instructions

[@karanabrol4487]

her body language bugs me a lot....

[@delsonpearce4906]

same

[@cybersphere]

It's a defensive posture adopted by people who are nervous. Almost all writers are introverts who dislike public speaking.

[@natalyawoop4263]

She doesn't use the power poses you see with corporate execs, etc. She seems more authentic to me.

[@vecernicek2]

I had Djibouti and Jaguar..

[@bruno-vicious]

So let me get this straight. She instructs the audience to close their eyes and CLEAR their thoughts and just focus on their breathing. Then 20 minutes later she ask if that was that hard. She goes on to say we are not used to being alone with our thoughts. So didn't she just say CLEAR your thoughts? Does she not she the contradiction here? How can you be alone with your thoughts if you clear your thoughts?

[@darkghoul4049]

Thoughts never leave you

[@spiritpill348]

A very refreshing talk. Thank you. And her outfit is also sexy!

[@parth6111]

can i marry her?

[@SudeepKumar-bn8ht]

In your dreams, yeah.

[@blaizzzzz9776]

Yes we can

[@Xiaborok]

does she knows that Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character? :D

[@zmedina1234]

Xiaborok do you know that his skills are based off of the abilities of the characters' creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? :D

[@Xiaborok]

Off course :) BASED off (this is very important) :)

[@rockymckay1705]

look up joseph bell, son.

[@fluxpistol3608]

Considering that she mentions this. I'm going to say yes. And that you're not much of a detective.

[@thedrmfm1799]

Dr. Bell, Colin Cloud, etc… Don't be stupid, just don't…
