It's staggering how many people here totally missed the main points, but I guess that also proves that the majority are most inclined to do what they consider normal, and thus never exceed the average box. The people who moved the world never did like everyone else were doing at their time. A collective mind is only good at doing what they already know works, but a mind that stands outside of what is currently being practiced, is the one mind that has the capability to innovate and change our perception of what we do and how we live. Every majority factor is based on safe options and predictability and consistency, which in the end results in a status quo situation that just keeps itself running, nothing more and nothing less.

Work your head at finding the right questions for you and your business and then solve them. It is really quite simple in principle. on the other hand I my self believe that the "best 3%" is just a choice of words targeted at a specific audience of overachievers. You don't need to be the best, or even near the "top" to have enough ^^. especially since defining the top is so elusive.

You're definitely the majority.

You may not be in a position to change anything in your organization but you have freedom outside work to change things. In your organization you must be at a level where you can tell others what is your vision and ask them to execute it. Not everyone is risk averse but the majority, sadly, is. This is the reason why for the billions we are on this planet our progress almost feels like it's stagnating. Musk comes to mind here, but there are not many like him willing to go against the grain all the time.

@@Bruckner people who look to billionaires for answers are not intelligent.

He is definitely among the 3 percent.

Nothing wrong in being in groups

@@MrNll004 A group can be useful if they are working together with the specific remit of coming up with innovative ideas. But the OP is talking about herd mentality, whereby people in the group don't want to go against set group norms. That kind of situation results in group think, where individuals abandon independent critical thinking, and just agree to think the same thing as the rest of the group. This is a pretty common group behaviour.

Exactly. I think that it is the part that is quite left aside in his presentation. At the end when he is saying ''As of today that choice is completely yours'', it is only halfway through, if less. Yes, anyone can innovate and think outside the box if they set their mind to, but not everyone will be successful doing it, only 3%. The survivor bias is a fantastic explanation here. Official patent sites are filled with innovative ideas that never made it to market. Although a lot of successful people won't dare say it, a great part of the success is actually based on luck.

@@LtKregorov it's also based on subjective experience alot of the time, if a successful person just happened to get successful, they might blame all the hard work they did while a poor person might have done just as much work and gotten nothing.

@Maxwell Severins Bruh my post is 6 months old like what, i don't even remember what i was talking about. I'll try to respond though

@Maxwell Severins First, innovation inherenerently based on change, and that's what i meant. Second, Survivor bias plays a big role here. I bet there are plenty of people who live and breathe their buisiness, but didn't have any sucess due to simple misfortune. And do you wanna know why you haven't heard of these people? It's because they WEREN'T sucessful in working hard, so they never earned enough to become someone "big" and their voices were never heard. The worst thing about suvivor bias is that it's the suvivors who get to make the rules. In this case, suvivors are people who have the power and influence to speak and be heard.

That's because the key ingredient to success from a start up perspective is timing. If you have the best technology, product or service and it's the either too new, ahead of it's time, or the same or too similar to well estsablished, known existing competitiors. It's not funding, it's not proven management..... It's timing.

It's a ted-x talk. And it shows. Because it lacks depth and research. And only uses cheap rhetorical tricks. A boondoggle in lack of a better word.

@@Macatho you hit the nail on the head. This is Ted X talk designed for tech bro managers. "Nobody is thinking but me, everybody is lazy but me, if they tell me it can't be done they are just not visionary like me..." mindset. Sometimes there is a reason WHY things are done certain way and that reason is (again, sometimes) because a lot of very smart people spent a long time designing the procedure to do it that way. Sometimes the shortcut is not the safest way, is what I'm trying to say. Yeah, you could do it that way, but if you do it that way, 99% of the time everything will be fine but 1% will lead to catastrophic failure and people might even die because you did it slightly unsafer but slightly faster and "more efficient" way. So your faster and slightly unsafer way was made illegal because of that 1% of catastrophic failures. That's just one part of what's wrong with the talk.

@@apostolosfilippos there cannot be a shepherd without the sheep

Dunning-Kreuger? (Sp?)

Well, the motivation is that if we provide a good or service in exchange for value, and we rely on that value to live, but someone else innovates first, they outcompete us and we lose our source of livelihood. So society tells you must always keep innovating. Where I personally think this perspective goes wrong is in the way we see innovation as the end goal. It's not a goal, it's a means. If we can improve a process we're already successful at, then we free up more time and resources to do other things - things that we actually want to spend our time and resources on.

@@Munchprime Good point. Yes for example we might direct our time and resources toward things like restoring the ecology of the planet!

You needn´t see it as another box, just become aware of the box you´re in at the moment. That allows you to make conscious decisions with no strings attached

We wouldn't have to constantly do "new and innovative" things. If we took time to figure out all of the possibilites of error of a proposed concept or an idea, and took care of them before we even considered mass production. In this country we throw anything and everything away that's old, becuase we have no use for them because it's NOT "new and innovative" despite the fact that they WORKED and wasn't wasteful or foolish...That's the problem with living in a CONSUMERIST society, everything has to rapidly and carelessly produced for the sake of mass consumption. Nothing made makes people happy or satisfied, cause they're ALWAYS wanting more...

I thought so as well, I thought: "actually I'd like to to some traditional stuff". It's not about being innovative but doing something of quality that you enjoy. Take the axe company Gränsfors Bruk, they specialize in making axes, traditional axes, no plastics, just iron and wood for different specialized uses, it's not "innovative" it's traditional and it's not "EXPANSIVE" and "GROUND BREAKING" it's just good craftsmanship and love of the craft - that's whats important, seems more like a motivational speech for get rich fast Silicon Valley types.

Then you should listen more to Dutch people

He sounds a lot like a dutch colleague I had. I'm guessing dutch 👍

@Martin Gerlach The origin of the word Dutch comes from the word diut, the name of the language spoken in the Netherlands and West Germany before the Middle Ages , so the people spoke diuts. Later on the word evolved to Dutch for the language of the people from the Netherlands and Deutsch for the people of Germany. That’s how the English speak English, the French speak French and in de Netherlands we don’t speak Netherlandish, but Dutch and the Germans speak Deutsch and not Germanish. It was used to name the language of the people (peasants) to differentiate from the official language of the rulers, French or Latin. After the separation of the southern part of the republic in a Belxit, they became Belgium which is way more French oriented nowadays that the Netherlands, where French has no status and in Belgium it is one of the official languages next to Flemish and German. The different people of Belgium don’t even understand each other and refuse to give in and speak the same language in a conversation. It’s ridiculous, but also the perfect location of the European Parliament, where nobody understands each other but cultivate the illusion of a union. It’s no coincidence the EU parliament looks like the Biblical tower of Babilonia. Genesis 11-9 clearly speaks of the Babylonian confusion of speech, which was a punishment for being to proud and thinking they knew better than god. This hubris let to their downfall, the same as the EU and Belgium. A funny fact is that people from the Netherlands can easily understand about 80% of spoken Deutsch (German) but the other way around proves way more difficult (10-20%). In the Netherlands we speak English with ease but we hardly understand the Wallon French from Belgium due to the very strange pronunciation. Even the French have a hard time with it. The Belgian Wallons actually don’t even like the French. And the Dutch. And the Flemish. And the Germans too actually, something about WW2.. Well, I leave it here. De mazzel (That’s the Dutch version of mazzeltov, from the Jews we welcomed in Amsterdam after they were kicked out of Portugal.)

Demian Haki This is a well thought out statement. When you think about the numbers, does it seem that you'd actually need the majority to keep the ship running with the possibility of the 3% making a horrible mistake? if it was 50/50 the mistakes could occur on a much larger scale. That being said well thought out idea's have a less chance of going that far but it doesn't get rid of the possibility.

Demian, great post.

Agree totally regarding the first part regarding fear. The second part is questionable, who says that so many players have to play the game. We could build a society with many more games and in each game fewer players or rotate the innovators or even play games with fewer rules. However, many people barely understand the rules and therefore would have trouble inventing new ones. I would say we have to remember that many people fear change (as Demian mentioned) and at the same time that many people would make a mess if they tried, in other words, their is justified.

Ano Nymous I agree with greed and perhaps a jealous competitive obsession won't let the 3% allow any one else to be in the group for fear of losing their extraordinary share of resources they once used to innovate but no only hoard to stifle any competition to their success, even at the cost of being stuck with an inferior end result. If I ever make it to the 3% I won't step on others who happen to have a similar goal, if they are better then the current solution then being replaced might be inevitable and rather than feared should be embraced.

Demian Haki Very well said.

you are 100% correct, ive been trying to tell my family and friends the value of Christian Nationalism. there is more evidence supporting Anglo Saxon and christian superiority than there is evidence we landed on the moon. even our ancestors from the 1800s KNEW that the skulls of african slaves vs the skulls of white people could NOT support the size of a civilized brain. it is a shame that the majority were willing to risk civil war back then to ignore this fact and they are on track to do it again. Praise trump and our lord jesus christ. Glory to the anglo race!

That's NOT wisdom, that's compliance to a group. Sheep are NOT wise. I don't even think Aristotle was even THAT foolish to say that...

Maybe because you act like you're better Instead of just making different choices

Elegant way of explaining why this talk is really dumb, loved it.

Aiven well it's not dumb as it is correct, but it's meaning is rather silly

You have a good response to this video, but it seems to me that you are escaping something. This guy is analising a trend that we must escape in order to benefit as a population. Is trying to make us see the mathematics. You are judjing him frum inside the box. You see the orizontal situation and he is trying to describe mathematical function that we are folowing

A lot of Tedx and some Ted talks are just that and it's very disappointing.

Mihai Serbu there are no bona fide mathematics here. 3% figure is undoubtedly made up. This is just disguised motivational speech. Think outside the box is as trite as it gets. Those who buy into this dribble will quickly see that companies stiffle innovation because most ideas are bad ones. Even movie business is like that, most films lose money albeit small amount, but then blockbusters make up for it. Some fraction of movies make up for more than the losses. "It seems to me" you too are escaping but from from a reality that stiffles your innovations. You don't make big decisions right?

Die Räuber

Yup my thouggt exactly

Ye like all the people saying the vaccine doesnt work like what? it obviously does or like the people who just wont wear a mask because their daddies at fox tells them not to. Like yeah I totaly understand. those sheople at Fox.

@@noahaglund3179 the vaccine doesn't work. I have 2 coworkers that are double vaxxed and they're now out for 2 weeks. Cuz they have covid. I got tested and I'm fine. Everyone else at work is fine. I'm not vaxxed and neither is majority of my coworkers. The Vax isn't isn't Vax. By sheer definition a vaccine is supposed to give you immunity. It doesn't. Thus by definition, it's not a vaccine. In fact if you go look up the patent number for the Vax you'll find out it's not patented under anything biological, it's actually patented as tech. So really let's use our heads here. If it's not a Vax, what is it?

Thought the same

@@noahaglund3179 okay, just dont stop other people from making their own decisions

Ebiowei Fekumo it comes from Kierkegaard’s writing, ‘That Individual’ which was published after his death.

So being a noncomformist is cool after all

​@@Jacob-ye7gu the fashionable nonconformist. "I'm not like most girls." Most girls.

@@acefader96 or is Ebiowei Fekumo trying to imply that Mr. Kierkegaard obviously never knew about crowd'sourcing' and the *Wisdom* of the crowd.. :p

I Noticed they didn’t laugh at the obvious punch lines either.
