Why the best minds are not solving world's biggest problems? | Prasoon Kumar | TEDxPune 

That was not just a speech to me ...I felt I should be doing something to solve a problem too

The views in the videos shows actually how many people are curious in solving the problem.

You know guys , Today Somehow i searched For "How to solve worlds problem? " and i cannot find any other video than it so thats the harsh reality of world. Everybody wants to be successful and make money But nobody wants to solve other problems like this as a human being it's our primary duty to serve our nation our world to make it a better place and by the way sorry for if i made any mistakes in words because you know my intention is just trying to change world but without anyone i am lonely and as a high school student i can do nothing but commenting on this Video. But you know guys i try i try & i try

Wow insightful. A man who has walked with the profitable and the profitless; and stayed on the straight and narrow.

Because we have to pay for a doctorate degree for anyone to think we’re worth listening too.

Finally someone saying a logical thing

Well said : "When we look solutions for poor, we look for poor solutions."

So yeah! One day I asked myself if we're actually "being humane" or we're just 'human being'. This is the time to make the world a better place for all of us..by looking at the big picture i.e by solving the world's biggest challenges. Thank you very much for this insightful motivation (reflection).

I choose to make a difference everyday with where I spend my money, time and energy. I don't buy bottled water instead I have located a filtration system and I refill jugs of water. I buy local/sustainability frown foods without packaging as often as possible. I am a step mom, instead of having children because I don't want to add to the population problem. I spend time lifting others up to follow their creative solutions. It's a choice, how u spend your time thinking doing and spending...every day you can choose to make a difference.

The answer is: anything that definitely solves world's big problems are labelled as Impossible fantasies

Great speech! When the speaker say "best minds" it means best minds to make money in the current economical system. We need best minds to help the people and the world massively.

This is our purpose in life, to help those in need. We continue to live because somebody needs us not for our own satisfaction only. Basic needs should be met by everyone.

THIS WILL BE DONE BY EMPATHY & PASSION, NOT BY INTELLIGENCE, I BELIEVE🍀

I found such a close soul from India! Thank you !!!! The absurdity of immense potential capitilisef by a few and the immense externality of wealth inequality.

Best ted talk ever. Period.

Because the people with big bank accounts keep the big minds away from the problems that give them profit.

Man, I love you. You have told the truth.

The best and inspiring talk I have come across in 2020. Sometimes best things happen after worst suitations.

Beautifully explained the systems of profits and everything in detail. Thank you

awesome speech...great insights

a well prepared and at the point speech.

so much repect for this guy👏

Brilliant and thought provoking

There are great minds that can and have figured this out, but the problem is "others" on the top that are more worried about profit and will do anything to keep it and stay on top.

Super ultra-awesome!!! Super thanks for sharing!!

Amazing video. Food for thought 😊👍

Insightful. Nice.

You are so awesome! this talk is EPIC

Very inspiring

I needed this.

This is brilliant... daily life for many vulnerable people necessitates Change Agents ... to do something to help their challenges & the fact that wealthy people and corporations do little to nothing 😒 to contribute to environmental cleanliness & assist the destitute .. kudos for trying to help people 👏 👍

Epic in every way.

great explanation sir.

Appreciate the honestly sir 🙏

One of the best Ted talk ever !

This man is giving Steve way too much credit😂

This is one of the greatest talk which I've heard in recent days..

At the end of the day guys we all want to help fix the world and shouldnt feel so bad if its hard or takes long and so on because we all make the world a better place together. Peace ✌️☮️❤️

As soon as i saw the title i know he know something. The smartest people i know are living independent lives fouces on thier betterment not foucesing on the stress of global issues.

Thank you!

That’s crazy I felt this !

perfect

The single biggest improvement in reducing global poverty was China moving to a more market economy, putting hundreds of millions of people to work not on "solving poverty" but on making things people need. Clearly China has a lot going on that is wrong in many areas, but the point is you don't solve poverty by putting smart people to work on poverty. You solve poverty by embracing an economic system that is good at putting people to work.

The answer is simple. Nobody wants to listen to someone else’s ideas and solutions no matter how sensible and practical they are because the other side is attached to their own pride, tribalism, prejudices, hate, anger and violence and think that THEIR WAY is THE RIGHT WAY.

Thought provoking...

much appreciated !

Every founder should listen to this video before starting their start-ups

between sacrifice and pleasure people choose pleasure..so problems are exist and will be.

Thankyou sir

Wow a great video 👏👌

Very well explained. The reason is money ..investments on those doesn't makes profits. Poverty...unsolved

They primed ur kid to pick mcdonald over other brands.

God bless you

This needs more views

This man deserves a Nobel Peace Prize

Inspired 👍🏾‼️‼️

A circle where we find the true good in life but have to live with the bad

Remind me of Alex Ross's graphic novel about superheroes trying to solve human problems, but even with their superpowers human is difficult and complex to be helped.

Kept the best minds in the world at bay through bureaucracy? Thank you.

The best minds in the world aren’t solving world problems because what they are solving is how to accumulate money for themselves which is their priority in this capitalistic world society. I believe that there should be a limit to personal wealth accumulation, that beyond a certain amount is already prohibited. World forum/ leaders should move to a different direction of handling money and agree to impose wealth limit as part of good governance.

I know what has to be done, but truth isn't something we accept, and the more we have the less people want to accept the truth.

Hard truth but trure

This video is really underrated

I support this group..

Nice

I think this tedtalk should have more views...

We will solve it sir

These are not problems for the leaders of nations, they are power and profit control and opportunities. You can't fix global problems without the cooperation of those who use these problems to enrich themselves. It's not that the brightest minds don't want to work on them, it's that they can't

Nice Ted talk. Add Homes or Housing on the list of key global issues. The govt/industry have set high bar forwe average person to participate in innovation programs, they are deemed not smart, devoid of ideas. Average citizens rarely get access to investment monies, loans, grants. Progressive govts should take risks on average citizen's role in innovation.

It doesn't pay as much as what they are doing in their own lives. That's why~!~

The "list of our biggest problems" reflects are very "human centered" view of the world.....that in itself is probably our biggest problem.

2:16 & 5:34 👍👏

Permaculture looks like a promising answer for all of the questions raised by this talk

YEAH! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

there are more than enough hard working, intelligent, good hearted people. there are more than enough good ideas that could save this world. this isn't the problem. THE PROBLEM IS WORLDWIDE INSTITUTIONAL CORRUPTION. wake up.

2:36- 3:36- 5:38- 6:10-

Finally RU-vid has suggested me a good video.

we should think deep and start to towards to destroy to these Global problems and should running programs also people can understand and work togther for it..

There are global problems right now, the most important being: lack of food, water, warmth, health and mental stability for each and every individual human. Lesser problems stem from these, including but not limited to: anger, addiction, jealousy, greed, and the abuse of flora and fauna. These problems have a root. Identify and remove the root for the discontinuation of the cycle of problems. The root is currency. Society revolves around currency. Upon eradication of currency the deconstruction of the society we know and hate could begin, providing a good starting point to the reconstruction of the human mindset and society itself. When profit is non existent due to currency being non existent, greed would decrease. Society has conditioned humans to be selfish and defensive of our personal resources as it has forced the majority of us to live in a state of a greed due to profit, in terms of not only finances but also resources. Everything physical is a resource. Greed could be overcome with the removal of ownership of everything and the implementation of shared ownership of the planet and everything on it. A hive mindset could lead to the resources, energy and brainpower of life being focused directly onto solving global problems and making life a pleasant experience for everyone. Rather than being selfish and defensive humankind could be sharing and inclusive. The removal of currency is an impossibility at this point in time as the majority of people will oppose the idea due to having money, alongside the widespread misconception that we need money. Without currency people will wonder how to pay their rent, bills, pay for food, healthcare, and education. The answer is we don't. We are all dwellers of this planet and we all have the equal right to share the resources of the world. Money and society dictate overwise. For this mindset to be able to be implemented into humanity we must await the fall of currency and of society itself. I believe this will never happen as the addiction to currency has overcome that which is inside each and every one of us. We humans believe that we are intelligent, yet we humans act as a parasite as we destroy the host we live on. We humans, being intelligent animals, should be the guardians of our host planet and all life on it. We instead have chosen to be the destroyers of life. Human history shows that we are repeatedly making the same mistakes through the chaos and turmoil. If we have a pet that becomes depressed, what does that tell us? Something in the animal's life is not ok. The majority of us are supressed and we don't even believe it. We treat our pets better than we treat ourselves and our planet due to that feeling of ownership. If we felt like we owned our bodies rather than being our bodies would we take better care of ourselves? If we felt like we owned the planet, would we take care of the existence of life on earth itself, or would we continue to wallow in the filth and decay? $0.02

Many people in this comment section associate power and wealth with knowledge 😔

Man over here in America you have a young leader that loves every country in this world like he loves his. Yes I am for the people and I think for the 1% too. I wish I can become the 47 president of the United States

You can please some of the people some of the time, and most of the people most of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time

The world problems are in dire need of a dynamic spiritual change for a true solution. "The condition of the world today is such that it is obvious no political solution to its problems is going to be found." ~ Shoghi Effendi, Baha'i Faith

Thank you RU-vid algorithm !

Really This Person is Truly Gentelman.

I have figure out the solutions. And working single handedly without any aid. When approached to every responsible one they said " Tankhwa se ziada kaam nahi ker sakta, tum bhi mat karo".

If everyone wanted to do something instagram is a good way to do it. Or tik tok spread the word. N let's fix the food problem the climate n world disasters

bcoz few can sacrifice quick selfish exceptional gains over a slow but sustainable overall societal betterment. its an ethical issue not the technological, and everyone is aware of how much ethical we r now a days.

The problems of the world today is that we simply do not care, enough too change. Humans adapt too the surroundings they live in. They are used, too there day in day out routines. We know better we know we can change we know that we as the most intelligent animal on this, planet that we can make a difference.we just simply choose not too.either out of fear or habbit. If those of you wish too seek a new way of living you must first, give up what you know now. And begin anew.

I share a pivotal-month and day-of birth with some of the most important figures of people that possibly played a role of molding and shaping our modern society in technology and other fields as we see the world as it is today. Matthew Prater's Birthday Jan 25, 1982. Hand Drawn Solvable Maze Artist. Robert Boyle's Birthday Jan 25, 1627 Birthplace: Ireland Died: December 30, 1691 Robert Boyle was an Anglo-Irish chemist, natural philosopher, inventor, and physicist. Regarded as the first modern chemist, Boyle is often counted among the founders of modern chemistry. One of the pioneers of the scientific method, Robert Boyle is also remembered for his books, including The Sceptical Chymist, which is viewed as a keystone book in chemistry. Joseph Louis Lagrange's Birthday Jan 25, 1736 Birthplace: Turin, Italy Died: April 10, 1813 Joseph Louis Lagrange was an Italian mathematician and astronomer who made significant contributions to the fields of number theory, analysis, and both classical and celestial mechanics. He served as the director of mathematics at the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin for over 20 years. He later moved to France and became a member of the French Academy of Sciences. lIya Prigogine's Birthday Jan 25,1917 Birthplace: Moscow, Russia Died: May 28, 2003 Ilya Prigogine was a physical chemist remembered for his work on irreversibility, complex systems, and dissipative structures. A respected member of several scientific organizations, Prigogine was honored with the Francqui Prize in 1955. In 1976, he won the Rumford Medal for his work concerning irreversible thermodynamics. His work on irreversible thermodynamics earned him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1977. Helge von Koch's Birthday Jan 25,1870 Birthplace: Stockholm, Sweden Died: March 11, 1924 Helge von Koch was a Swedish mathematician who served as a professor at the Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University College. He is credited with describing a popular fractal known as the Koch curve, which is named after him. Helge von Koch is also credited with writing many papers on number theory. Humankind made great technological feats and breakthroughs in science and other fields, but humanity cannot solve or fix death, poverty, corruption, crime, epidemics, and so on. Well? when it comes to very complicated and complex sophisticated problems mankind is not capable to direct his steps successfully in this manner. Note what this one scripture brings out in the Holy Bible, JEREMIAH 10:23- O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walks to direct his steps. 24- O LORD, correct me. The solution? Only God's Kingdom can fix these problems. God's Kingdom isn't something that is in the heart, it is a real government. Note what this other scripture will bring out of what God's Government/Kingdom will do to human-governments. Daniel 2:44- ''In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people, it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it alone will stand forever.

Supply and demand the rich keeps getting richer and poor poorer or incarcerated answer unhealed trauma

With these problem eradicated. Business will have more mid range population to sell there product to. It's a win win situation. Yet a lose for planet earth. More population, more friction, unbalance and we will all fight.

Because money. Mental capacity and desire to solve big problems does not always connect with what will make money.

The problem is the excessive wealth gap on this planet. There’s absolutely no reason why there’s individuals with personal wealth that’s more than some countries GDP. You can end up many of the worlds problems with about 1 trillion dollars give or take. Unfortunately greed is going to the downfall of civilization.

I find it surprising that the list of our bigges problems did not include loss of topsoil, deforestation, desertification, resource depletion, and animal extinctions. Our living standards, life expectancy, and literacy rates are much much better than they ever have been, yet people are still whining about these things as if human beings are the only thing in this universe that ever mattered.

I speak to many people and me included... that pay lip service to all those big problems. Sure I'll donate out of the excess change I have in my pocket. I'll participate if it is my spare time and ideally a social event. Give until my lifestyle is affected... no way and my observation even if people do not admit, it is a common position to take.

Not a bad talk

prasoon kumar really an eye opener the riches really trying to solve their problem and branding themself as a problem solver for the world problem it's true bill save the kid in africa but not solve their poverty

Corporate Social Responsibility is not enough because service to society isn't their main motivation. They are simply doing this 'service' to conceal the fact that their business is solely for profit. It is nothing but an avoidance of the real issues by pursuing things of relevance as a side quest instead of main quest. Profit does not need to be the main product, it needs to be the by-product of actions done in service. Profit can still be focused on, but not as the prime directive in business.
