Why do we like an original painting better than a forgery? Psychologist Paul Bloom argues that human beings are essentialists — that our beliefs about the history of an object change how we experience it, not simply as an illusion, but as a deep feature of what pleasure (and pain) is.

The example of violinist doesn't hold water as the high-heels or those who attend the black-tie event simply won't take the metro in the first place.
We like to think that when people grow up they don't act like spoiled kids. Oh really? You do not want this painting that is the same as the other one? Why, because it has a different history really?!
No wonder this world is so full of suffering.
you just HAVE to put white guilt propaganda in everything don't you
Amazing

Brilliant!!!!
Al gore is a fake.

One of the best TED speeches for me
Those Vermeer weren't forgeries of existing real Vermeers. Han van Meegeren just created his own paintings in the style, tool, technique that Vermeer would've used. When he's doing a side by side comparison of the 'real' vermeer and the 'forged' vermeers, those are actually the exact same painting
He should be invited more often.
"It hurts more if you believe that somebody is doing it to you on purpose," knocked me out.
@Danil Eremeev true, although there are a lot of crappy schools out there. i happened to go to pretty decent ones but I'm aware of schools that have poor ciriculums, lazy teachers, or insufficient funding
great video!
Call them intensely erotic…
It's like sexual rugby

The best example of irony I've ever heard of! LOL! For the first time he discovered that there was evil in this world, lol!
awesome.
OMFG, I cant take people on youtube complaining about how little they learned in school, Maybe you shouldnt have been a lazy stoner and paid the fuck some attention. Perhaps you could even comment intelligently on a TED video
My two cents and Lacan's take on essentialism: Lacan's object a refers to the object-cause of desire: that which is in the object more than the object and which makes us desire it in the first place. It alludes to the originally lost object (the missing element that would resolve drive and "restore" fulfilment) and, at the same time, functions as an embodiment of lack; as a loss positivised.
Two comments that even mention the word essentialism in them… yeah, you're all getting a great education here, I'm sure.
I totally agree with him, we in fact are essentialist, but I would add, we are utterly dumbass essentialists
@jonjescabar what's up with that?
@shimauma cool
@JohnBlonn and if he were Welsh, what an ugly British accent would still apply
@shimauma He's Canadian.
What an ugly American accent
Is that Olivia Wilde?
If I ever get really famous I'll sell my excrement on Ebay.
I went to some good schools so the rest is just continuing education. It's sad that there are so many poor schools.
@AutodidacticPhd
I didn't miss the point, I simply didn't comment on the point. I commented on what I thought was the LESS obvious point that people seem to be in the habit of mocking people who, despite doing things that obviously reduce credibility, have not forfeited the respect due them as leaders. That's all I'm getting at.
And I'm not sure what you think you know about me know from a couple YouTube comments, anyway, but let's just move on w/ our lives.
@fanosth maybe you havent read enough yourself? As for sharing their ideologies yes i do, i'm happy to debate them as well..if you want to.
You can probably tell if a person is either an essentialist-snob, or a scientific-materialist, by asking them what they think about sci-fi matter transporters (eg: Startrek).
this was very good. look what knowing origins did to "millie vanillie" (sp?)
@vita9n History is written by the winners. For me i have huge respect for the nazis.
