You Don’t Actually Know What Your Future Self Wants | Shankar Vedantam | TED
“You are constantly becoming a new person,” says journalist Shankar Vendantam. In a talk full of beautiful storytelling, he explains the profound impact of something he calls the “illusion of continuity” — the belief that our future selves will share the same views, perspectives and hopes as our current selves — and shows how we…

Wow, it’s such a gripping speach. I heard lots of others advice, but yours are the most thought-provoking. To expand our horizon we should be curious, convey humility and be brave. Actually, it doesn’t sound so difficult, we can change our lifestyle in accordance with you piece of advice. Let’s see what happens after 5 years. Thank you!

You are one of the most brilliant people I have ever met. I first met you when I picked up your book “The Hidden Brain” by accident and started to read it. Immediately I loved your style of writing and I deduced that you were incredibly brilliant. Today by accident I watched your Ted Talk and was indeed very ecstatic to see you in person, just like I imagined you would look like. Thank you for being the person you are and sharing with us.

I lived on my own for a decade ..the impact of COVID 19 and Coup d’etat
I moved in with my parents …..
I somehow feel I hate it I have to live esp with my dad someone who is very a very judgmental on everything I do.
I want to move out as soon as possible. But I don’t want to leave my mom here .Will my future self say I have to bear with the situation and try to enjoy the time you have left with your dad and Mom…..but now it pains me to live with those who are so much important to me see me so small .

Very well said. This is why I believe it is not appropriate to take pride in the deeds of our ancestors without also feeling ashamed of their misdeeds. Or better yet, refrain from both of these vicarious practices and instead honor them by learning from their mistakes. Because our ancestors lacked enough foresight, as we can clearly see in hindsight, to imagine how different we could and would become, we should take care to bequeath to our progeny opportunities instead of boundaries: think, political term limits instead of oxymoronic lifetime incumbencies; temporary laws to be compulsorily and periodically redrafted instead of edicts and mandates; arterials broad enough to accommodate traffic we have yet to conceive of instead of channels constructed for the purpose of preferential profit alone; as well as properly humble and honest distinctions between axioms, observations, hypotheses, and facts.

That was a good one. If you have ever come across comments you wrote on youtube, or in a journal, or elsewhere from 10+ years ago, you know exactly what this guy is talking about. I sometimes stumble on such previously written messages, that no longer align with my thinking at all. It’s a strange thing, that my digital ghost and I are not the same, or at least we have significant differences psychologically.

At first when I saw the title, I was a bit sceptical, since I thought of very basic things. I still want money and I still want good food. There are a lot of changes in my life I didn’t see coming though.
When I was younger, I hated school, and people who had normal jobs seemed exhausted all the time, so I wanted a ‘fun’ job: I wanted to become a musician. I had to realize that it wasn’t actually as fun as I thought, and money was difficult to earn too. Then I went in the direction of graphic design and I had a bit more luck with that, but creating for others just wasn’t any fun at all, and I dislike talking to people too.
I sought out information on my other options (since I was poorly informed,) and chose a horticulture tradeschool education. It is not perfect, but I’m definitely going in a better direction now.

There was an urgent need for a such idea in me before!
I was afraid of my own ambiguity in the field of interests! Back in a school a dreamed of one thing in college time of another! And that tremendously simple idea of remembering of my future self eliminates that fear and clears up almost everything!

Captivating story: ✅
Compelling problem statement: ✅
Backed by science: ✅
Actionable insights: ✅
“You’re going to be a different person sooner than you think. So you might as well be in charge of who you’re going to be.”
Not often do I find a TED talk that gave me chills and lit a fire inside of me at the same time. Saved this in the hope that my future selves will go back to it from time to time.
