The Future of Humanity, Malcolm Gladwell - WGS 2018

"""There has been a dramatic shift in the nature of what people want and need from their governments."" - Malcolm Gladwell, Globally Renowned Author
The world has changed fundamentally, according to the author Malcolm Gladwell, from one in which problems are puzzles to one in which they are, instead, mysteries. Using terminology developed by an intelligence official, Gregory Treverton, Gladwell said this distinction often centres on the amount of information available. In the past it was often about having too little data - a puzzle; in today's world too much data is more likely to be the issue - a mystery. To take education as an example, today a wealth of data on how teachers perform is available, including on such complex is-sues as how a particular teacher's methods interact with the capabilities of an individual student. Similar issues affect fields as diverse as defense and health care. This places challenges on institutions such as governments, because many developed their ways of operating in the 19th or even the 18th century. They are equipped to solve puzzles, not mysteries.

Biggest challenge is battling corruption now that journalism is on life support. That's where the real future challenge is.

[@mikewashere9660]

cold day in the place of heat and fire, that money, pay offs, bribes, and those that might fight against corruption, framed in various levels of crime.. so they toe the line and do as the elite puppet masters tell them to do, day, actions! messed up world! ....but soon, But GOD ALMIGHTY!!! ...All the neigh sayer's, scoffers and such denial types, will be staining their shorts, when faced with what is about to happen! For those who have eyes to see, and read, and hear truth of God, and the Savior, Christ Jesus, in Him is life, He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one comes out of this world, except through Him! .. I bid you peace and brotherly love in our Lord! .. for those who scoff at this truth, you'll see soon enough that you were all soo very wrong in your heart and mind, that is if you have a heart? money and power.. it's temporary at best! but the Lord is eternal, and in Him, is the Life as intended when He created everyone!!! I pray for you all, that you would see and hear truth, and the good news of salvation in Christ Jesus! seek, and you shall find.. nock and the door will be opened.. ask Him for salvation, and soon live the life as intended for you God Almighty through Christ Jesus loves you, but you have to acknowledge Him, The Almighty, and our Savior Christ Jesus, the only Begotten Son of God! ...hope and prayers for those not yet saved, but will be, the rest, ...read The Book of Revelation of Christ to the Apostle John.. peace.. love, and soon our eternal life in abundance! meanwhile, abide and be in His peace and love given us that are saved and sealed, untill the day of our redemption!

[@kennethstephenson8509]

This is an extremely important topic and I think would make an excellent "next book" for Malcom. On the topic of education, I see the potential beyond improving individual teacher to student communication The more serious issue in my opinion is that the school curiculuum needs to be modernized . Expand beyond accademic topics to include education and training in life skills . Things like how to respect and get along with others in society . Emotional control - This is a trainable skill. Communication skills . Skills needed for work place success . This approach will reduce poverty, crime, and income inequality. Hope Malcom agrees and will use his "bully pulpet" to lead us to this type of education.

Very thought provoking lecture Mr gladwell

[@russbell6418]

A difficulty that presents itself is that the people paying attention are only those whose concerns are mature, and therefore reaching outside their daily influence. Increasing prosperity allows us to consume, and our thoughts turn inward.

[@danthomas6587]

Malcom my favorite storyteller

[@margaretkaddubaliddawa1461]

Fantastic delivery. Great about the fundamental shift that governments need to make to really solve the problems of their people today. Using old methods and expecting change with new problems is the real issue we face right now.

[@dearthofdoohickeys4703]

Here’s humanity’s problem: we’re reactionary when solving problems. Most often, we’re only motivated when the problem encroaches our _individual_ lifestyles. If not personally affected, we resist the need to change. So what happens when the problem is species-wide annihilation? We’ll be too slow to respond. But the time *everyone* agrees on what to do and how to do it, it’ll be over.

[@sohailstone]

[@sohailstone]

thomas seven agreed that’s why we are on the mission Mars ✌🏼 And for people who feels cities are crowded and water shortage , they perhaps should use them wisely ! There is enough energy and resources for 3 times our current population. Wastage is the primary reason for all chaos.

@tanon China took steps by instituting their one-child policy. However, that led to outrage and condemnation by Human Rights organizations and a host of other social problems such as one married couple burdened with the care of up to four aging parents, runaway pollution and the health problems resulting therefrom.

[@patternbreak360]

One of the greatest presentations I have seen in the wide world of media; Gladwell has outdone himself!

[@Kaugalunik]

He is such a good speaker that it is easy to forget that like most everyone else he can be right about his beliefs and conclusions and he can be wrong.

[@gnomon1957]

Malcolm Gladwell is a genius.

[@AB-wf8ek]

I think what he's getting at is the progression of the model of our world. With limited information and a dogmatic view, decision making is easier, but the results can sometimes be no better than picking at random. With more information we start to paint a picture of reality that is not black & white, rather shades of gray lying on a spectrum. Overlapping different layers of graduated information creates a much more complex image of the reality or a problem. The question he his raising is, what are the skills required for a person in a position of power to be able to actually visualize and make good decisions based on this much more nuanced vision of our world?

[@rosemariecameron8386]

Brilliant. .wow...this is a mindsets shifting that is needed and all levels. ...

[@johnr8252]

Agree completely with Jacinto, Malcom has it backwards. Our problems today arise not so much from lack of information, rather making sense of the info we have. The former is the mystery and the later is the puzzle.

[@mosesramirez6330]

These descriptors make more sense to me as well.

[@ResidualSelfImage]

In a puzzle - there is a framework to find a solution...In a mystery - a framework must be created to find a solution. ...a puzzle uses known tools and skill sets can can be be fixed by a technician ... a mystery requires an analyst to develop a framework and what tools or skill sets are need before a technician is need... .

Yeah, teaching teachers to feed back the kinds of language kids use and think in is super helpful you can almost immediately pick a kids, who speaks frequently in visual (or auditory or kinesthetic) words, favorite teacher buy the matching of the teachers language

[@ResidualSelfImage]

Motivation comes from opportunity and hope. Market access is key. The most important factor in controlling fear is to being honest with building expectations and clearly define a government's relationship with its people...The most important value of a government is to lead its people successfully to adapting to new challenges it faces in the future... that means empowering people and identifying the common shared values that bring them together as a people

[@garyraab9132]

The most important thing in education is the learner, more specifically the brain of the learner. Everyone from the parents, to teachers, to the President or Prime Minister, needs to know how their brain works, needs to know how they themselves learn, so they can assist the learner in the crib, through to adulthood. Quote by a leader in the field of genetics, Francis Crick. “There is no scientific study more vital to man than the study of his own brain. Our entire view of the universe depends on it.” No better place to begin the study of mindfulness than with parents understanding of the developing brains of newborns.

[@catherinemcginnis1538]

[@peterorthmann5612]

[@benjaminjiin8432]

I wonder if marketing is the most powerful factor in diabetes? I like the final message.

[@Caldermologist]

It is not. Greed is. Just as it is in making preventing climate disaster so difficult. It is not a coincidence the companies producing the kinds of food that causes diabetes are major sponsors of medical research, which they filter and modify to suit their own needs.

[@atriciacannon4579]

Diabetes is very profitable for pharmaceutical industry. And the cure never presented, the patient then willingly accepts the disease and treatment. A two edged sword, neither understanding for lack of education. I'm Not an MD but with study, I know there is a cure for All Disease.

[@jackysoriano8469]

The last part of this talk reminded me of The Purge, where at the end the insurance companies where the richest. In this case, the companies that can guarantee cyber security would be the most influential and sought out. Rich and important people would pay millions so that no one could hack their cars. A disruptive industry, antivirus and security for your car.

As long I can have my 'Scotch' wee dram!

[@ericrobinson7184]

Gladwell is a conceptual weaver of ideas, in this case, the up-push of specialized knowledge has made many former approaches to problem-solving...outdated. Sure, progressives know this, but globally, the institutions of most societies are stuck, their are more people in power who want what the past had, then what the future holds. It's just a testimony of his patience that he's willing to A-Z it out in such a formal manner. Well-done.

[@duggydugg3937]

the future of humanity severely threatened by the rising national federal debt... where does the debt come from? Like any financial debt....borrowing... What is a t Bond? A treasury bond is a burrowing instrument... The questions of questions is why has our government borrowed us into 21 trillion dollars of indebtedness?... This debt has been building up since Wilson sign the Federal Reserve into Charter in 1913 ... a crime of crimes... A Swindle of swindles .. A Bernard Madoff on steroids... Government has no business borrowing... yet, they do it wildly... to fund everything including army to colonize the world for the zonists.. including borrowing money to give it to isrsel and others

[@malcolmbryant]

How do we know whether we are looking at a puzzle or a mystery? We can only use these labels in hindsight.

[@j10001]

I think he was saying it’s a puzzle if there is already a framework for solving it and the solution only requires application of resources. For mysteries, we don’t know how to make sense of them yet, so just pouring more resources in doesn’t really help until we figure out how to understand tte problem and where action will be most fruitful.

[@intlprofs]

What's missing are the percentage of urologists who do not want that conversation. They recommend surgery, even in a stage1 tumor found in only one of the 12 cores taken in the biopsy. Many urologists want to do surgery or radation in men age lets say 78 to 80+ years.... The doctor should then be diagnosed as a criminal. But in our USA fee-for-service Business Medical Model of course he's not. He has a right today to think and act as a crooked businessman with the patient's life.

[@atriciacannon4579]

With the ACA it is hazardous to seek medical care. The AMA needs drastic correlation.

ChannelMath parents are supposed to raise kids, not government. The fact that parent don't raise their kids properly is a failure of our economy and culture

[@ChannelMath]

wow, seems you are really stretching to try and pick a fight. I don't disagree with that (except in that the government is mostly made up of the country's parents, so I don't necessarily see a problem with them deciding to use tools of the state to help raise their kids better). Do you disagree that teaching involves shaping some aspect of student thinking?

[@yatoyoboku]

Well we are a country of individuals so I’m glad the government is doing this in classrooms.

[@Enterprise-Architect]

Malcolm Gladwell is a genius to predict what we are seeing now... Today, Kentucky tornadoes took lives of 100's of Americans. All the climate data was indicating that something big is about to come however, government and people didn't take action against it to solve the problem. Think how many 100's people would have planted the tree to cool-down the weather and mitigate the risk of global warming... If land, resource and time is available then utilize it judiciously to make it more impactful. Peace

[@peterkussell]

It is really a cop-out to say that governments will need to calm and reassure their populations in the face of unprecedented catastrophes, such as that produced by climate change. I think when Miami, Mumbai and oh yes, the entire Persian Gulf under water, then the task of moving virtually millions of people will induce outbreaks of riots, panic and collapse of governments world wide.

[@j10001]

Yes. I caught that, too. Sorry, there’s very little government can do that I find _comforting_ (other than successful national defense). Last thing I want is to hear a leader saying, “I understand how hard it is. It’s going to be ok.” Because I know after that they’ll do very little.

[@ResidualSelfImage]

Medical test justifies the medical procedures/medication is a product-service. When Medical problems do not have a straight forward Medical test - then a physician must use medical analytical skill based on information he is able to collect.. ..when medical cost are so high a physicians no longer has enough time to gather enough data beyond the standard medical test - in addition with strict cost controls on medical cost that a physician can charge - the medical doctor can not gather any more data than is allowed by medical insurers and can not analyze a medical problem that is not justifiable by acceptable medical tests. ..This limits the capacity of the medical doctor to help the patient

[@wghost1]

Both puzzles and mysteries are a result of lack of knowledge , as for doctors they practice more marketing than healthcare , as for education all what we need to do is define the true purpose of education rase awareness about it and encourage it , sometimes you have to simplify things in order to understand it

[@In100yearsitwillbeSaturday]

In a puzzle you usually have all the pieces on the table or close to it; in a mystery there is some important piece missing and then you send (e.g the spy planes) to find it or else you right away invent it (e.g the book of Genesis on how we are here)

[@mixedthreadart]

[@JacintoBowks]

I think he's got his puzzle and mystery illustration backwards. A puzzle requires organizing the plentiful information you already have. In a mystery you don't have enough information available and need more.

[@ajboggie87]

I believe that you're viewing 'puzzle' from a more physical perspective. Gladwell is introducing a more cerebral hypothesis-something "puzzling" or being "puzzled by"- not an actual "puzzle". Gregory Treverton concluded that a puzzle has a “simple, factual answer” and is solved by getting "more" information. For example, the location of Osama bin Laden was a puzzle. Finding the answer required "increasing the collection of intelligence". A mystery is different-it may have many contingencies and is solved by more "analysis" rather than more fact-gathering. What we are told vs what we hear.

[@orenrob1914]

Jacinto is right. The idea that more information makes something a mystery is infantile

[@heidierosadonieves]

maybe he is not using this definition to make a point. Maybe what he is saying is that not having the information we cannot complete the puzzle. We don't have enough information to solve it. Yet mystery is having all the information and still cannot solve it. So what I see is that it does become a mystery because we have an overload of information and still cannot solve it. Anyway, maybe in the end there is no right or wrong, just a point he is making and the message goes beyond the definition of puzzle and mystery. :)

[@ResidualSelfImage]

A puzzle means the structure of the domain and range of a problem-function is known so when given enough data points for the domain ... one can generate answers (range) using the problem function engine you have... a mystery means is it is not known if the number system is not validated as being logically or workable (complete)... not all mysteries can be solved by logic...

[@invitationtothink8270]

MG's POV: Puzzle, ie looking for the missing piece. Mystery...how the clues one has fit together. Don't miss the forest for the trees (semantics).

[@bxbank]

Malcolm, you know that changing a puzzle to a mystery is conscious change by the powers that be to make resource and labour use still more inefficient, all for the sale of profit, yes? Governments don't want to do what you ask. They are used to the dispowerment of the power trip. Keep it inefficient to be needed. Why using a different exchange model that values the opposite is so important.

[@kennethgarcia25]

Malcolm is unquestionably a smart guy. The mystery versus puzzle dichotomy just does not seem to be the way to view things. There is always too much data. The brain deals with this all the time by extracting causal relationships from experience in relationship to how an interaction with the environment alters the environment and the self. What is salient within any particular context is worked out over time as our subsequent experience refines our internalized models. Typically, we attempt to generalize and apply that experience toward future context, but chaos provides the possibillity that variables outside our previous considerations may exert more influence than previously on the outcome. The real issue regarding the future of humanity is an embrace of complexity and recognition that progress will only be balanced through the gradual improvement of our skills in modeling including diligently updating those models based on evolving needs or ambitions... Just like evolution has been doing for millions of years!

[@johnmorgan9916]

Kenneth Garcia I agree with most of what you've said. But the thing is, most organisms even the ones without a brain will do that exact same course of action to survive. Humans.....the ones with the least amount of instinctual abilities don't act like the others. Our problem seems to start with our offspring taking the longest time to mature, needing vastly more input. With much of this input corrupted going in only to be corrected later by trial and error. That's probably why humans have only one species today, while other organisms have multiple species, some have hundreds. We just don't adapt or even evolve like the other creatures on this planet, those with brains or no brains. Malcolm seems to think it's just a matter of input or data analysis. His binary thinking is an implicit trap. The coming future of data analysis by artificial intelligence and quantum computing may just look at humans as an infestation. Something this planet could survive very well......without. Planet of the apes.......nah. Planet of the insects. Insects seem to be best at surviving the mess us humans are doing. They're next at bat.

[@kennethgarcia25]

John Morgan John, thanks for the thoughtful reply. Not sure you appreciate the adaptive flexibility humans enjoy as their brains are less committed at birth. Furthermore, one would have to generalize quite a bit to oversimplify the behavioral strategies of organisms with brains and those without. Persistence is a goal, but how that goal is approached will vary. Furthermore inter species variation does not mean multiple species. Best.

Theres also the hugely important aspect of increased income equality and extreme poverty. As we all can guess when you're poor you eat the cheapest food which of course is the least healthiest. You also work all day and most likely have no time or energy to exercise. Then you get diabetes but probably have little to no healthcare so you die or go into severe debt trying to stay alive. This will only increase unless govt changes and starts looking out for its citizens instead of the small minority of the disgustingly rich and powerful.

The term "Mystery" don't fit well for the Gladwell's fomulated concept, "Mystery" carry always a infinite simbolysm that means much more than caotic information.

The prevention and cure for diabetes is simple, a linear progression of weight lifting using the five or six BASIC multi-joint exercises. In fact it is the best preventive method for ALL degenerative diseases. So saying that the solution is better diet and "exercise" is incomplete, you must do a specific sort of exercise. Progressive weight lifting, barbells.

[@miggrodriguez9996]

First of all you must distinguish whether your talking about Diabetes Type 1 or Type 2. Second, how do weight-lifting benefit a type 1 person?

[@ggrthemostgodless8713]

@@miggrodriguez9996 I wish I had the time.... I really do because it would benefit you a lot if you have those conditions, but I can direct you to the best channel for this, watch as many of the doctor guest episodes about this and see (not the ones teaching you HOW to lift or anything, that should come later), watch many of them, there is also another RELATED channel called Barbel Medicine with two great well educated and informed and practicing doctors, so just watch as many of those myth buster channels and see, if those episodes don't convince you or inform you, then there is nothing I can do for you... good luck. kzbin.info/door/5FaqTBy0c1jlRUHKu4SuXQ

[@storitellz9015]

I have watched a lot o'd Malcolm's videos and read his books and always found him to seem quite knowledgable. I'm questioning that as of 29:45 if this. While he may be partially correct, he is dead ass wrong to lead people to believe that is the only way a person gets diabetes. As a parent of a child born diabetic, I know that a "sedentary way of life" and over indulgence and whatever else he said is NOT the ONLY way people end up with this disease. There are many other factors, and nor everyone can know everything, but it makes me sad when people say things like that because it's not true and it impacts young children in a negative way that already feel like an outcast due to having ti take shots all the time. Other than that, I think he's great.

[@j10001]

Great point. He probably meant to say (and should have said) _Type 2_ diabetes, since it’s clear he was only referring to that when he spoke to lifestyle change.

[@rashomon351]

... value added metrics for teachers. right. What's measured here and who defines the metrics ? Is a teacher is a good teacher if a majority of pupils have a high agreememt rate for what they're being taught ? So, if in the bible belt teachers teach creationism and pupils agree for evolution just being a theory and the earth being no more than 6000 years old, does this result in an added value towards that metric ?

Gladwell is wrong about life expectancy. He said there were "huge life expectancy gains in almost every country in the 1950s and 1960s and then in he last 20 years have dramatically slowed down and in some cases even reversed." World: 1950... 45.7 1969....56.3 2019....72.5 Obviouly the increase will slow down as poorer countries have closed in on richer countries and almost no countries have seen a reversal. Gladwell gives no specifics.

Good luck, America! (and probably the rest of the world too). We like strong, charismatic leaders who have obvious solutions for every complex situation - solutions that are just waiting for the right leader to point out and implement. Too bad those easy answers are wrong.

Disagree with the author in the main point: we still solving puzzles, like earlier, but puzzles have became much more complicated. Example with prostate cancer: earlier a doctor had to make a binary decision: is it a cancer? Yes-No. Today it has to decide, which type of cancer it is, when at all, how to treat it. We know today much more about cancer than in 1960th, so the solutions are more complicated, that is all.

If you are still healthy you are still not analysed ... ;-) If you waste your time thinking about cancer you will get it! You better focus on your joy of life!

The capable students were from wealthy families and the poor performing ones came from poor backgrounds. His subconscious bias is coming through

As he said - a student needs a certain teacher. It seems to me he did a great job at bringing his point across to this certain group of people. And his point is pretty solid in my perception.

Keep in mind Malcolm is not a PHd. Nor has he had any additional training in the topics he discusses. Do I say he's a fraud? No. He's simply articulating situations that "HE" sees them.

Oh god malcolm, Cuba was cause if location. Today we don't need red October the movie, just location. Second can you explain why the world treats the middle east, "cough" oil, like a competition of the last person to take their hands off the new car. Ww2, oil filed the war machines and still do yes?

No Malcolm, it is not the job of governments to control education. Education ought to be directed by free thinking, creative, and caring teachers. Read "Balance in Teaching" by Rudolf Steiner.

A simple solution would be to replace teachers with robots, and students with robots. Solved.

Oxford Press found that Treverton had plagiarized a substantial portion of a chapter in his book from white papers by a graduate student..😉😉
