- What are world views and how do they affect us? How do you talk to someone who does not share your view and opinions? This is what Artur Nilsson, Ph.D in psychology, will discuss in his TEDx talk.
Artur Nilsson is a researcher with a Ph.D in psychology. In his talk he discusses the significance of worldviews in our lives and what they do to us. During his student years, he studied psychology and philosophy in parallel and it was in the intersection of these two subjects that the idea of the importance of world views grew.
He learned to know that the research available regarding people’s world views was fragmented, unsystematic and lacked a holistic approach despite its significance in people’s lives. In 2013 he wrote his dissertation on "The psychology of worldviews: Toward a non-reductive science of personality" and is now trying to establish “The psychology of world views” as a field of research.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
There is more wisdom in this 16 minutes than you will find in most media.
Eloquent. Brilliant.
I have been studying WorldView for 30 years. This is one of the best summaries that I have ever come across (perhaps that shows how little I have read or listened to) - Artur Nilsson does a wonderful job of succinctly outlining the complexity and significance of WorldViews and how they impact the human psyche at all levels of being.
Why it is important
1) Meaning
- we want to know meaning of everything
- why is this this, why is this that
2) To manage existential fear and anxiety
- we have fears for example we know that what we love can are temporary and can be easily destroyed
- we know that we aren't going to live forever.. we fear that we cannot enjoy life forever
3) We need to share our worldview with others
- share it to person who is important to us
- this sharing of worldview turns into a group i.e. religion, political ideologies.
Really good talk. For another TEDx talk on how worldviews can alter our thinking I suggest mine. It's called "Our worldview alters our view of the world."
Excellent Presentation! So efficient with your words. thank you!
Great talk! It's a complex topic but so relevant .... Thanks
This was so good and is so relevant in a time when there is so much conflict in terms of world views and the desire for each side to be seen and gain representation.
Well done Artur Nilsson! Interesting!
The hardest part of life is the loops of thoughts, I recall my comment last year• but I’m glad to rewatch this video.
personal belief and your actions. Work together. Belief drives your actions in the world.
| personal belief / Society ideology / tribal identity/ biological groupings of humans, social engineering. Don’t forget about “meaning” & trauma/childhood past,
symbolization and belief structures in religious ,
“ACTIONS”
Actions or behavior patterns that manifest outwardly imagine opportunities within your sphere you play them out as if you were playing amongst mirrors. Usually our actions have a paradoxical effect lost in transaction of meaning and understanding or inherently capable of being formed into a ideology or thought form. Key term is paradoxical actions usually inclined into other forms pre-unconcerned
Wonderful
Wow, the last comment was made 8 months ago. This topic should get more attention.
Book "The Righteous Mind" is speculative but interesting...
Does everyone has a worldview?
Yes, but most people don't have like very organized or specific worldview. It is so basic in our mind that we don't even aware of it. But we use it to think.
You can't try to engage and find common ground with those unwilling to do the same

Example of Worldview yg awal2 tu :
Artur, I don't understand why humans are on this quest for meaning.
If you accept this condition of not understanding, you will be free from this quest. If you are feeling the desire to go beyond the state of not understanding, you are potentially about to embark on your quest.
The meaninglessness of LIFE...
That, in itself, is a certain kind of worldview comparing naturalism and existentialism. And there are many subsidiary philosophies and ideologies that foresight the possible causes of those worldviewing philosophies such as nihilism, agnostism, ateism etc.
And from around 4:47 to 6:00 he explains why there is a need for meaning in life for people in general and from around 6:00 to 7:12 he begins to give empirical examples and consequences of those scientifical attributes in human brain/mind.
