The second is that it's put us in a place where we have no idea what's going to happen in terms of the future.

Do schools kill creativity? — Ken Robinson · TED

in terms of the future. No idea how this may play out. I have an interest in education.

Do schools kill creativity? — Ken Robinson · TED

(Laughter) Our education system is predicated on the idea of academic ability. And there's a reason.

It's not because he didn't try. It's because every time I had a new idea, every time I wanted to try something new,

What I Learned from 100 Days of Rejection | Jia Jiang | TED · TED

The results here were crystal clear: people thought talking to a stranger was a really bad idea. They thought they would have a more pleasant experience

The Simple Habit for a Happier Social Life | Nicholas Epley | TED · TED

His name is Jason Comely. And basically the idea is for 30 days you go out and look for rejection, and every day get rejected at something,

this link between disgusting things and immorality. And while I don't have any concrete data to back up this next idea, I think that for a lot of us, it happens around the time we hit puberty.
