The more we rely on technology to make us efficient, the fewer skills we have to confront the unexpected, says writer and entrepreneur Margaret Heffernan. She shares why we need less tech and more messy human skills -- imagination, humility, bravery -- to solve problems in business, government and life in an unpredictable age. "We are brave enough to invent things we've never seen before," she says. "We can make any future we choose."

As a school teacher, I would add: The more time teachers are forced to enter, and stare at, assessments and standardised test results, the less time they have to know, connect with and help their students. The reliance on standardised tests and data is killing our education system and robbing our children of creativity. It’s sad, so sad …

I was a governor for 15 years and I agree with you 100%. It was always a frustration to me wasting endless hours making sure that teachers were on the ball in moving pupils towards getting good sats... not a good education, that was irrelevant, just good sats results and being ready for a random visit by the inspector.

The problem is that we've constructed a system of educators where people without your passion are readily accepted. That stems from the belief that education is an expense, not an investment.

As Margaret explains the future is unpredictable and teachers can't teach anything about it and that frustrates them. The main problem of education is although quite simple: Learn them how to learn themselves, so they know how to quickly learn new skills. In fact the teacher should teach in such a way he is not needed anymore after a while.The problem is that most teachers are stuck in a closed-mode system where creativity and imagination are killed. So first transform the education system, and I hear teachers thinking that someone should do that. No, they should start it themselves, but until now I seldom saw a teacher changing the system by changing first himself.

So in short, admit that complex systems (humans, most of all) can't be meaningfully modelled and predicted for any and all purposes (yet), and therefore shouldn't be over simplified to mere numbers pushed around by data wonks. The fact that this seemingly mundane 'common sense' sounds 'risky' and 'radical' in today's increasingly data-driven, algorithmically optimised world is what makes this talk intriguing and powerful. I appreciate the speaker's effort to invite us to rethink the balance between 'efficiency' and 'robustness', the 'complicated' and the 'complex' - and maybe on a more human level, the balance between wealth and well being, results and purposes.

We would have to include climate as a complex system yet many (including the speaker) seem to believe the IPCC has climate models that model climate correctly despite twenty years of failed predictions. Yes the climate models have been over simplified for political purposes in an attempt to pin all the blame for climate change on man made CO2 and create a moral panic even when we know CO2 is a feedback mechanism not the driver of climate and that climate has always changed and always will regardless of what humans do; I'm not saying man made CO2 doesn't have an effect, it does, but it would seem to be overestimated as evidenced by all the failed predictions. Climate may yet turn out to be chaotic as some scientists have claimed but whilst ever they zero out the effect of the driver of climate, the sun, (by holding it constant) and ignore other factors that influence climate including changes in the heliosphere, the magnetosphere, cosmic radiation and upper cloud formation then we have no hope of ever achieving an accurate model.

"Anyone who tells you that they know the future, is just trying to own it, a spurious kind of manifest destiny." This is a tremendous TED Talk with some excellent wisdom being imparted. But that whole deal about climate change: perhaps the quote she gives toward the tail-end of this talk needs to be heeded more by smart people like her as they listen to the policy advocates/doomsayers on the climate subject.

Good observations delivered in a sound speech. These insights are more than just valuable to humans in today's world; in many instances they're recognized as basic "laws of nature." IE: Efficiency (at it's peak) is akin to over-specialization & nature doesn't favor it (consider it "robust") or the hybrid(s) it produces.

So I watched this at the behest of a friend and I believe what the speaker discusses is 2 sides of the same coin, that is Force Majeure and X Factor; the comparison of failure due to unpredictability vs. the success based on some X Factor. In any failure a person, leader, manager, executive, organization can either point outside the window to something they could not control or was unforeseeable OR a leader can look at the mirror to internalize and own the failure. So too, in any success a leader can blow their own trumpet OR point to those outside who made their success possible. In most cases it depends on the relationship one has with the mirror and window of success/failure. How does that relate to data and algorithms in success - it doesn't - because data and algorithms are FACILITATORs or ACCELERATORS of success or possibly even failure... within an organization. But the X Factor - the people... what they do, how they think, bond, communicate, enculturate, motivate, mentality - that is the other side of the coin that determines success - WITH the right people, right skills - success will happen. In the end, I think that the commonality of unknown X Factors and unknown reasons of failures lies within the mentality of those who own and give vs. blame and gain. @RichardBuenviaje - thanks for the recommendation. #GoodtoGreat thanks for the framework of thought. #TryingtobeLevel5

Indeed, one size only fits some, and there is no silver bullet. The problem is that the human brain tries to look for patterns in everything, even when there is no underlying pattern to be found, because that's just its survival mechanism. The brain is content when it's convinced it has found a pattern, because then it doesn't have to work to solve each situation. It can just execute a familiar pattern, which requires minimal effort from the brain. With that comfortable "laziness" as its motivation, the brain will favor decisions, which help form the surrounding world into predictable patterns that can easily just be executed. However, repeating something will only strengthen those specific pathways and connections in the brain at the expense of others, much like training only one muscle and neglecting the rest of your body. This becomes problematic at the slightest deviation from the norm. In a perfectly calculated, regular world of patterns, this would never happen. But the real world is not perfectly calculated, regular or based on predictable patterns, no matter how much the brain tries to convince itself of this. When a change occurs, and it is time to use those other unused pathways, connections and muscles, they simply aren't available. The survival mechanism has failed itself. So, even if the brain doesn't like to work for its keep, putting it to work by exposing it to change is actually good for it in the long run. Trying new things will open new pathways, which in turn will become a wider selection of tools available at a time something unexpected happens. Even if you cannot see an immediate benefit in trying something new or something different, it may become useful later on. At the very least, it will add to your pool of experiences, providing the brain more examples and data to base its patterns upon, increasing the odds of finding something that works. Even though we cannot predict the future, and even though we cannot reshape the world into a perfectly regular thing, it is comforting to know that there is at least a way for us to become more prepared for the inevitable unexpectedness.

I agree with the author that the artificial method of control may not be very effective, because the task distributor does not know surprises and works systematically. Although the unexpected in our difficult world is a frequent thing and algorithms make us unprepared for the unexpected. I found the thought in this video interesting. For example, I agree that creativity and bravery enlivens us and makes us more productive. But I don't think we should underestimate modern technology. In my experience, I can say that the system streamlines my daily routine, for example in my studies. I don't know how I would organize my studies without the information portal. It has everything: schedules, subjects, information. And it's very convenient. Without information and its technological order everything was very uncomfortable and I can't even imagine it

Technology is not the enemy and is going to be the only means to facilitate the needs and an expanding population efficiently and fairly. The biggest problem we face as a species is that we have grown complacent and no longer differentiate need from want. We can not sustain growth without technology increasing the efficiency of how we can use the limited resources of this planet. The intangibles of the human mind will always remain secondary to surviving.

That these forces are funded by Banks. That the money system was conceived and initiated in Babylon 600 BC, to control (enslave) the population by lending money, thus creating debt. However there is a solution that will enable us to live in a world without debt.

Efficiency becomes a replacement for effectiveness and eliminates the human's capacity to be (To name a few.) creative, adaptive, empathetic and autonomous. Relying consistently on a sure thing that has no basis in positive growth and learning produces a stagnancy in body, mind and spirit, crippling our ability to adapt to the real world and indeed contributes to a colder and more complicated world. A doctor told me that those who do this do so as a result of upbringing, genetics, environment and personality and I've heard and experienced that this can be changed through application of conscious thoughts and actions.

She presents "efficiency" as a bogeyman, repeating anti-technology and Luddite tropes a century and a half old. Technology isn't the problem, but she contrasts it as the two in combat, Technology ("efficiency") vs Real People ("human skills"). Technology and efficiency are boons. They make us stronger, not weaker. They empower, not disarm. Yes, we need "human skills". Technology, through "efficiency", has empowered more folks to develop "human skills", to communicate world-wide, to do things which would've been seen as Magic a few generations ago. She's not just wrong: she's actively directing folks away from the tools we have to improve their lives.

I think you missed the point of the talk; I have worked for many companies that have "bean counters" or rely far too much on accountants, HR, computers etc. They are necessary and generally keep things running BUT they don't take reality, an ever-changing landscape of people, their health and personalities, weather, accidents and so on. If an accountant or HR says "You need X number of people to do security or X to run the heavy machinery" but in reality we need far more, the realities on the ground do not reflect the computer technology's forecasts.

@@papasitoman I can appreciate that may have been the intent of her talk; what she said was quite different, and mostly revolved around We Shouldn't Rely On Technology Because Humans Make Better Choices. The argument she could have made, but did not, was that technology is not a complete solution and when we find errors, we should improve the technology because it is that technology that often allows us to see the errors.

I wanted to add a public reply, but was hesitant as I myself was sure that I would digress from the discussions that this talk should generate, as well as appear to digress even where I was not veering from relevance( as to here). But browsing down to your comment and your allusion to an Indian thinker just made it irresistible for me to take the plunge. While I can't contest Ms Haffernan's insightful observations based on tangible, albeit emperical examples, I can surely say that for a significant minority of people, people who are not just the product of modern civilization as many would claim, but are simply being increasingly recognized now, for example, those with aspergers syndrome or infj personality type, though not limited to these alone, definitely benefit from dehumanising(through technology), and here I may add(1st digression among the many that may follow), even outside work places. For, how much they make efforts, they are misunderstood and at even simply an objective level, be offered wrong advice or inappropriate support system(the one, the speaker was referring to which many down and out CEOs would fall back on), not to talk about at subjective levels be negatively affected, at subtle as well as not so subtle ways. Coming to why your reference to an Indian guru piqued me( in both ways of this word's meaning,i. e., arousal as well as resentment- the latter one, something to do with your name, well actually everything to do with it). As the speaker says, it's about cultivating social human relations and bonds, though she was referring to workplaces, it could not be in isolation from life outside that and hence in general- a favourite refrain of 'wise' men of the East! Probably, one reason, you would have drifted towards the sadhu's teachings(sincere apologies, if I'm being cliched, doing the very thing I want to negatively highlight, if not expose.) I would have continued, but why to, unless you are interested ? But slightly digressing, I would like to ask- The lamp post eg. that you gave, I don't know what that figure of speech is called in English, but I'll mention a( totally unrelated)similar eg of that kind of figure of speech- I'm in chains and lock, you are in chains and lock, I have a set of keys, why should it be that the keys to your lock are the keys to mine? I think that this eg is profound in the sense that it applies in all similar situations , while the eg you gave(lamp post one), is just a smart alec-ism, in that a bigger smart alec will have a smarter repartee to it, though I don't have one right now. Do you agree with me on this one or not?
