What if young people ran the world? | Nasra Ayub | TEDxUniversityofBristol

[@withdeveri]

Interesting perspective. I support young people involvement. What they lack is experience, wisdom and discernment.

[@zemjane]

Beautiful talk💛 And all those comments about young people not being experienced enough.... You do realise that not all adults are educated, let alone experienced, right? Some of you not even able to live on your own. And anyway, she talks about taking youth's opinion more seriously and providing them with resources, not about young people running the governments. Keep you agism to yourself, thank you.

[@daftwod]

You are a brilliant example of why it's a terrible idea. Absolutely down syndrome level.

[@km1dash6]

I think young people need to be leaders, not just because they are experts on their own experiences, but because they're the ones who are going to live in the world we all create. They should have a say in the world they have to live in. But also, if they don't have a seat at the table, what are they supposed to do? Sit and accept injustice? No, ignore young people and you get disillusioned youth acceptable to radicalization. Listening to young people is in the interest of global security.

[@hannesRSA]

So these young people.. are they more aware of injustices? Will they lose that sense of injustices when they get older, and we have to replace them with an even younger generation? Seems contrary to how most civilizations have always worked.

[@benheideveld4617]

Ask an old person whether they had a clue to govern when they were 25. In Native American communities young men were the warriors. Old men were the decision makers.

[@DaveZee823]

Wisdom comes with age.

[@myjciskate4]

Idk. I think half of the reason we're in the place we are at is because we have too many old people in politics. Most of the young people I meet who are serious about politics are far, far more levelheaded, politically and scientifically literate and informed than the majority of old people in political positions I meet. I'm old btw, but I agree with the young folks. A lot of older folks, unfortunately, lose the gusto and will for social change the longer they're in the system, get too caught up in bureaucracy, and lose sight of the bigger picture.Society stagnates when too many old people are in positions of power. Ideally, you want a healthy mix of old and young people at all levels I prefer to just treat people on an individual basis based on their own individual competencies.

[@km1dash6]

That is incorrect. Governance varried in different Native American communities. In some communities, young people were the leaders. Older people were advisors, doctors, or religious leaders. We often think young people think they know everything. I remember being 16 and thinking that I don't know everything, but neither did my parents, teachers, older friends, etc. Adults don't know how to govern either. We often imagine that as someone ages, something magical happens to their brain where they suddenly become wiser and are capable of leading, but if you watch Senate hearings or debates on CSPAN you will see old men acting like children.

[@hannesRSA]

@@km1dash6 damn that's a shame if you're not becoming wiser as you age. It's about the only positive thing I can say about ageing. For me it seems to happen without even trying, but it seems to happen slower for those who have no interest in introspection and improving themselves.

[@reedofwater]

@@myjciskate4 The problem there isn't youth or age, it's corruption and collusion. It's the reason we have the most objectively incompetent president in history right now. He didn't earn his spot, backroom politics propped him up there. Ideally the most competent applicant is the one selected through a selection/voting process regardless of their age. That isn't happening now. We only get to choose between two candidates and both of those made who knows how many deals in order to be there.

Automated funding comes with sacrifice and dedication, to contribute to the capital of the world. In order to sustain interpersonal relationships and build trust on the future. Innovation and creative thinking are at the forefront of putting human well-being at pinnacle and we should motivate young adolescents to implement this way of thinking.

[@freemygrandma8752]

I think this is beautiful. This video just made me realize that young people don't get represented enough in a positive light. The world will change so much for the better if we presented young people that are actually doing good .

[@The.Pickle]

It would be an awful, awful idea to have a country run exclusively by young, inexperienced humans. "Young people as experts" is a statement only a young person would be arrogant enough to make and one young people are not equipped or experience enough to understand the ramifications of. Girl, you haven't even mastered grammar yet and you want to be considered an expert.

[@reedofwater]

Indeed. She's a youth that wants to be given everything and trusted with hard earned money from the older generation just because she asks for it, with no reputation to show for it.

What if young people ran the world? I mean they technically already do. The powers that be don't want you to know that though. Everything is centered around what young people do and like.

[@nicholaslabonte3491]

It seems to me. There more time you take to gather resources to make change. The less you know how to make good change. If only we humans could use are greatest ability to overcome this. Are ability to work together and diversify to overcome larger problems. We need to work together. Since no one has all the tools to fix the problems we face today.

As a monkey i could say i am a little bit less developed from my most brothers and sisters with different pigmentation caused by different living locations around the globe 🌐 I have 2 less extra cognitive functions such as "Cognition" and "Perception" 🧠 Anyway, if young people with less knowledge and less experience would ran the world it would end up as half as faster as it will end up ran by old people with the best possible knowledge and experience 📚📖 I like what is happening with monkeys nucleus of the cells.

And do you really think older people have done a great job? The environment, the economy etc...

[@reedofwater]

lol, they wouldn't even know HOW to destroy everything. They'd grab sledge-hammers and ignore a pile of C-4 lying next to them.

[@fritnat]

How about if young people feel this way then they set up their own fundraising activities and get donations direct? Nasra Ayub has spent a good deal of time in the campaign against "FGM", a perfect example of bad funding and misplaced campaigning. In her own native Somalia £ millions have been wasted all the while babies are being cut in NHS hospitals in the UK! The rate of cutting in Somalia has not changed ever since the modern anti FGM campaign started in the seventies despite a long line of award winning Somali immigrants one after the other through the decades.

Age doesn't seem to impact a leader's willingness to step up, issue directives, and provide rewards for performance. In contrast, however, age does seem to affect a leader's openness to change. As leaders grow older, they become less willing to make changes and are less interested in innovation

“Radical over call and quickly”

[@reedofwater]

So, you're saying that funders shouldn't control where they send their money, but instead trust the first young person who asks? So, you're saying that wizer, more experienced older personal should be bypassed and trust some rookie instead? So, you're saying that grassroots organizations SHOULDN'T work hard to petition/request money they didn't earn and instead be given money, which means the funders shouldn't have a selection process and just give their money to the first organization that asks? This girl is obviously a "young person", her outlook is far too narrow and naive. Young ppl should be encouraged to work hard and apply themselves, build their reputation, and by the time they're older they can use their experience to take leadership roles. But they have to earn it first.

[@robddaniel]

@@hannesRSA certainly don’t have a knife out. There have been great potential leaders in all generations, but they are not corrupt or cruel enough to get to the top. For example, was trump seriously the best candidate to lead America? Johnson, Truss, the best available in UK, Morrison the finest Australia on offer, putin the finest of his generation and the right person to lead Russia? Our system is broken. I don’t have a solution. But I believe strongly that the best of the best of each generation should play a part in finding it.
