Perspective is everything | Rory Sutherland | TEDxAthens

0:13 - 0:14What you have here
-
0:14 - 0:17is an electronic cigarette.
-
0:18 - 0:20It's something that's,
-
0:20 - 0:22since it was invented a year or two ago,
-
0:22 - 0:23has given me untold happiness.
-
0:23 - 0:25(Laughter)
-
0:25 - 0:27A little bit of it, I think,
is the nicotine, -
0:27 - 0:29but there's something
much bigger than that. -
0:29 - 0:34Which is ever since, in the U.K.,
they banned smoking in public places, -
0:34 - 0:37I've never enjoyed
a drinks party ever again. -
0:37 - 0:39(Laughter)
-
0:39 - 0:42And the reason,
I only worked out just the other day, -
0:42 - 0:44which is when you go to a drinks party
-
0:44 - 0:47and you stand up
and you hold a glass of red wine -
0:47 - 0:48and you talk endlessly to people,
-
0:48 - 0:51you don't actually want to spend
all the time talking. -
0:51 - 0:52It's really, really tiring.
-
0:52 - 0:55Sometimes you just want
to stand there silently, -
0:55 - 0:57alone with your thoughts.
-
0:57 - 1:01Sometimes you just want to stand
in the corner and stare out of the window. -
1:01 - 1:04Now the problem is, when you can't smoke,
-
1:04 - 1:07if you stand and stare
out of the window on your own, -
1:08 - 1:10you're an antisocial, friendless idiot.
-
1:10 - 1:12(Laughter)
-
1:12 - 1:16If you stand and stare out of the window
on your own with a cigarette, -
1:16 - 1:18you're a fucking philosopher.
-
1:18 - 1:20(Laughter)
-
1:20 - 1:23(Applause)
-
1:27 - 1:29So the power of reframing things
-
1:31 - 1:34cannot be overstated.
-
1:35 - 1:37What we have is exactly the same thing,
the same activity, -
1:37 - 1:40but one of them makes you feel great
-
1:40 - 1:43and the other one,
with just a small change of posture, -
1:43 - 1:46makes you feel terrible.
-
1:46 - 1:49And I think one of the problems
with classical economics -
1:49 - 1:51is it's absolutely preoccupied
with reality. -
1:51 - 1:56And reality isn't a particularly
good guide to human happiness. -
1:56 - 1:58Why, for example,
-
1:58 - 2:01are pensioners much happier
-
2:01 - 2:03than the young unemployed?
-
2:03 - 2:07Both of them, after all,
are in exactly the same stage of life. -
2:07 - 2:10You both have too much time
on your hands and not much money. -
2:10 - 2:13But pensioners are reportedly
very, very happy, -
2:13 - 2:17whereas the unemployed are extraordinarily
unhappy and depressed. -
2:17 - 2:20The reason, I think,
is that the pensioners believe -
2:20 - 2:22they've chosen to be pensioners,
-
2:22 - 2:26whereas the young unemployed
feel it's been thrust upon them. -
2:26 - 2:29In England the upper middle classes
-
2:29 - 2:31have actually solved
this problem perfectly, -
2:31 - 2:33because they've re-branded unemployment.
-
2:33 - 2:35If you're an upper-middle-class
English person, -
2:35 - 2:38you call unemployment "a year off."
-
2:38 - 2:40(Laughter)
-
2:40 - 2:44And that's because having a son
who's unemployed in Manchester -
2:44 - 2:45is really quite embarrassing,
-
2:45 - 2:49but having a son
who's unemployed in Thailand -
2:49 - 2:51is really viewed
as quite an accomplishment. -
2:51 - 2:53(Laughter)
-
2:53 - 2:55But actually the power
to re-brand things - -
2:55 - 3:00to understand that actually
our experiences, costs, things -
3:00 - 3:03don't actually much depend
on what they really are, -
3:03 - 3:05but on how we view them -
-
3:05 - 3:07I genuinely think can't be overstated.
-
3:07 - 3:10There's an experiment
I think Daniel Pink refers to -
3:10 - 3:13where you put two dogs in a box
-
3:13 - 3:16and the box has an electric floor.
-
3:18 - 3:22Every now and then an electric shock
is applied to the floor, -
3:23 - 3:25which pains the dogs.
-
3:26 - 3:30The only difference is one of the dogs
has a small button in its half of the box. -
3:30 - 3:33And when it nuzzles the button,
the electric shock stops. -
3:35 - 3:37The other dog doesn't have the button.
-
3:37 - 3:41It's exposed to exactly the same level
of pain as the dog in the first box, -
3:41 - 3:43but it has no control
over the circumstances. -
3:45 - 3:48Generally the first dog
can be relatively content. -
3:48 - 3:51The second dog lapses
into complete depression. -
3:52 - 3:56The circumstances of our lives
may actually matter less to our happiness -
3:56 - 4:00than the sense of control
we feel over our lives. -
4:02 - 4:03It's an interesting question.
-
4:03 - 4:07We ask the question -
the whole debate in the Western world -
4:07 - 4:09is about the level of taxation.
-
4:09 - 4:11But I think there's another debate
to be asked, -
4:11 - 4:14which is the level of control
we have over our tax money. -
4:15 - 4:19That what costs us 10 pounds
in one context can be a curse. -
4:20 - 4:23What costs us 10 pounds
in a different context -
4:23 - 4:25we may actually welcome.
-
4:26 - 4:29You know, pay 20,000 pounds
in tax toward health -
4:29 - 4:32and you're merely feeling a mug.
-
4:32 - 4:35Pay 20,000 pounds to endow a hospital ward
-
4:35 - 4:37and you're called a philanthropist.
-
4:38 - 4:41I'm probably in the wrong country
to talk about willingness to pay tax. -
4:41 - 4:43(Laughter)
-
4:43 - 4:48So I'll give you one in return.
How you frame things really matters. -
4:48 - 4:50Do you call it the bailout of Greece
-
4:50 - 4:54or the bailout of a load of stupid banks
which lent to Greece? -
4:55 - 4:57Because they are actually the same thing.
-
4:57 - 4:59What you call them actually affects
-
4:59 - 5:03how you react to them,
viscerally and morally. -
5:03 - 5:06I think psychological value
is great to be absolutely honest. -
5:06 - 5:09One of my great friends,
a professor called Nick Chater, -
5:09 - 5:12who's the Professor of Decision Sciences
in London, -
5:12 - 5:14believes that we should spend
far less time -
5:14 - 5:16looking into humanity's hidden depths
-
5:16 - 5:19and spend much more time
exploring the hidden shallows. -
5:20 - 5:21I think that's true actually.
-
5:21 - 5:24I think impressions have an insane effect
-
5:24 - 5:26on what we think and what we do.
-
5:27 - 5:30But what we don't have is a really good
model of human psychology. -
5:30 - 5:32At least pre-Kahneman perhaps,
-
5:32 - 5:35we didn't have a really good model
of human psychology -
5:35 - 5:40to put alongside models of engineering,
of neoclassical economics. -
5:40 - 5:44So people who believed in psychological
solutions didn't have a model. -
5:44 - 5:46We didn't have a framework.
-
5:46 - 5:49This is what Warren Buffett's
business partner Charlie Munger calls -
5:49 - 5:51"a latticework
on which to hang your ideas." -
5:52 - 5:55Engineers, economists,
classical economists -
5:55 - 5:58all had a very, very robust
existing latticework -
5:58 - 6:01on which practically every idea
could be hung. -
6:01 - 6:04We merely have a collection
of random individual insights -
6:04 - 6:07without an overall model.
-
6:07 - 6:11And what that means
is that in looking at solutions, -
6:11 - 6:14we've probably given too much priority
-
6:14 - 6:18to what I call technical engineering
solutions, Newtonian solutions, -
6:18 - 6:20and not nearly enough
to the psychological ones. -
6:20 - 6:22You know my example of the Eurostar.
-
6:22 - 6:25Six million pounds spent
to reduce the journey time -
6:25 - 6:29between Paris and London
by about 40 minutes. -
6:29 - 6:33For 0.01 percent of this money
you could have put WiFi on the trains, -
6:33 - 6:36which wouldn't have reduced
the duration of the journey, -
6:36 - 6:40but would have improved its enjoyment
and its usefulness far more. -
6:41 - 6:43For maybe 10 percent of the money,
-
6:43 - 6:46you could have paid all of the world's
top male and female supermodels -
6:46 - 6:51to walk up and down the train handing out
free Chateau Petrus to all the passengers. -
6:51 - 6:54You'd still have five [million] pounds
in change, -
6:54 - 6:57and people would ask
for the trains to be slowed down. -
6:57 - 6:59(Laughter)
-
7:01 - 7:02Why were we not given the chance
-
7:02 - 7:04to solve that problem psychologically?
-
7:04 - 7:07I think it's because there's an imbalance,
an asymmetry, -
7:08 - 7:12in the way we treat creative,
emotionally-driven psychological ideas -
7:13 - 7:17versus the way we treat rational,
numerical, spreadsheet-driven ideas. -
7:17 - 7:20If you're a creative person,
I think quite rightly, -
7:20 - 7:22you have to share
all your ideas for approval -
7:22 - 7:24with people much more rational than you.
-
7:25 - 7:28You have to go in and you have to have
a cost-benefit analysis, -
7:28 - 7:31a feasibility study,
an ROI study and so forth. -
7:31 - 7:33And I think that's probably right.
-
7:33 - 7:36But this does not apply
the other way around. -
7:36 - 7:38People who have an existing framework,
-
7:38 - 7:41an economic framework,
an engineering framework, -
7:41 - 7:44feel that actually logic
is its own answer. -
7:44 - 7:47What they don't say is,
"Well the numbers all seem to add up, -
7:47 - 7:49but before I present this idea,
-
7:49 - 7:51I'll go and show it
to some really crazy people -
7:51 - 7:53to see if they can come up
with something better." -
7:53 - 7:56And so we, artificially I think,
prioritize -
7:56 - 8:00what I'd call mechanistic ideas
over psychological ideas. -
8:00 - 8:02An example of a great psychological idea:
-
8:02 - 8:05The single best improvement
in passenger satisfaction -
8:05 - 8:08on the London Underground per pound spent
-
8:08 - 8:12came when they didn't add any extra trains
nor change the frequency of the trains, -
8:12 - 8:16they put dot matrix display boards
on the platforms. -
8:17 - 8:18Because the nature of a wait
-
8:18 - 8:22is not just dependent on its
numerical quality, its duration, -
8:22 - 8:25but on the level of uncertainty
you experience during that wait. -
8:25 - 8:28Waiting seven minutes for a train
with a countdown clock -
8:28 - 8:30is less frustrating and irritating
-
8:30 - 8:32than waiting four minutes, knuckle-biting
-
8:32 - 8:35going, "When's this train
going to damn well arrive?" -
8:36 - 8:38Here's a beautiful example
of a psychological solution -
8:38 - 8:40deployed in Korea.
-
8:40 - 8:43Red traffic lights have a countdown delay.
-
8:43 - 8:46It's proven to reduce the accident rate
in experiments. -
8:46 - 8:50Why? Because road rage,
impatience and general irritation -
8:50 - 8:53are massively reduced
when you can actually see -
8:53 - 8:55the time you have to wait.
-
8:55 - 8:58In China, not really understanding
the principle behind this, -
8:58 - 9:01they applied the same principle
to green traffic lights. -
9:01 - 9:04(Laughter)
-
9:05 - 9:06Which isn't a great idea.
-
9:06 - 9:07You're 200 yards away,
-
9:07 - 9:10you realize you've got five seconds to go,
you floor it. -
9:10 - 9:13(Laughter)
-
9:14 - 9:16The Koreans, very assiduously,
did test both. -
9:16 - 9:19The accident rate goes down
when you apply this to red traffic lights; -
9:19 - 9:22it goes up when you apply it
to green traffic lights. -
9:22 - 9:25This is all I'm asking for really
in human decision making, -
9:25 - 9:27is the consideration
of these three things. -
9:27 - 9:30I'm not asking for the complete
primacy of one over the other. -
9:30 - 9:32I'm merely saying
that when you solve problems, -
9:32 - 9:35you should look
at all three of these equally -
9:35 - 9:38and you should seek as far as possible
-
9:38 - 9:41to find solutions which sit
in the sweet spot in the middle. -
9:41 - 9:43If you actually look at a great business,
-
9:43 - 9:47you'll nearly always see all of these
three things coming into play. -
9:47 - 9:49Really, really successful businesses -
-
9:49 - 9:52Google is a great,
great technological success, -
9:52 - 9:55but it's also based
on a very good psychological insight: -
9:56 - 9:59People believe something
that only does one thing -
9:59 - 10:03is better at that thing than something
that does that thing and something else. -
10:03 - 10:05It's an innate thing called goal dilution.
-
10:05 - 10:08Ayelet Fishbach has written
a paper about this. -
10:08 - 10:10Everybody else at the time of Google,
more or less, -
10:10 - 10:12was trying to be a portal.
-
10:12 - 10:13Yes, there's a search function,
-
10:13 - 10:17but you also have weather,
sports scores, bits of news. -
10:18 - 10:20Google understood
that if you're just a search engine, -
10:20 - 10:23people assume you're a very,
very good search engine. -
10:23 - 10:25All of you know this actually
-
10:25 - 10:27from when you go in to buy a television.
-
10:27 - 10:29And in the shabbier end
of the row of flat screen TVs -
10:29 - 10:32you can see are these
rather despised things -
10:32 - 10:35called combined TV and DVD players.
-
10:35 - 10:39And we have no knowledge whatsoever
of the quality of those things, -
10:39 - 10:42but we look at a combined TV
and DVD player and we go, "Uck. -
10:42 - 10:46It's probably a bit of a crap telly
and a bit rubbish as a DVD player." -
10:46 - 10:49So we walk out of the shops
with one of each. -
10:49 - 10:54Google is as much a psychological success
as it is a technological one. -
10:54 - 10:57I propose that we can use psychology
to solve problems -
10:57 - 11:00that we didn't even realize
were problems at all. -
11:00 - 11:03This is my suggestion for getting people
to finish their course of antibiotics. -
11:03 - 11:05Don't give them 24 white pills.
-
11:05 - 11:08Give them 18 white pills and six blue ones
-
11:08 - 11:10and tell them to take
the white pills first -
11:10 - 11:12and then take the blue ones.
-
11:12 - 11:14It's called chunking.
-
11:14 - 11:17The likelihood that people
will get to the end is much greater -
11:17 - 11:19when there is a milestone
somewhere in the middle. -
11:20 - 11:22One of the great mistakes,
I think, of economics -
11:22 - 11:25is it fails to understand
that what something is, -
11:25 - 11:28whether it's retirement,
unemployment, cost, -
11:29 - 11:33is a function, not only of its amount,
but also its meaning. -
11:33 - 11:36This is a toll crossing in Britain.
-
11:37 - 11:40Quite often queues happen at the tolls.
-
11:41 - 11:43Sometimes you get very,
very severe queues. -
11:43 - 11:45You could apply the same principle
actually, if you like, -
11:45 - 11:48to the security lanes in airports.
-
11:48 - 11:49What would happen if you could actually
-
11:49 - 11:52pay twice as much money
to cross the bridge, -
11:52 - 11:54but go through a lane
that's an express lane? -
11:54 - 11:56It's not an unreasonable thing to do.
-
11:56 - 11:58It's an economically
efficient thing to do. -
11:58 - 12:00Time means more to some people
than others. -
12:00 - 12:03If you're trying to get
to a job interview, -
12:03 - 12:07you'd patently pay a couple of pounds more
to go through the fast lane. -
12:07 - 12:09If you're on the way
to visit your mother in-law, -
12:09 - 12:12you'd probably prefer to stay on the left.
-
12:14 - 12:18The only problem is if you introduce
this economically efficient solution, -
12:18 - 12:19people hate it.
-
12:19 - 12:23Because they think you're deliberately
creating delays at the bridge -
12:23 - 12:24in order to maximize your revenue,
-
12:24 - 12:28and "Why on earth should I pay
to subsidize your incompetence?" -
12:28 - 12:31On the other hand,
change the frame slightly -
12:31 - 12:33and create charitable yield management,
-
12:33 - 12:36so the extra money you get goes
not to the bridge company, -
12:36 - 12:38it goes to charity,
-
12:38 - 12:41and the mental willingness
to pay completely changes. -
12:42 - 12:45You have a relatively
economically efficient solution, -
12:45 - 12:47but one that actually meets
with public approval -
12:47 - 12:49and even a small degree of affection,
-
12:49 - 12:52rather than being seen as bastardy.
-
12:52 - 12:55So where economists
make the fundamental mistake -
12:55 - 12:58is they think that money is money.
-
12:58 - 13:03Actually my pain experienced
in paying five pounds -
13:03 - 13:05is not just proportionate to the amount,
-
13:05 - 13:07but where I think that money is going.
-
13:07 - 13:10And I think understanding
that could revolutionize tax policy. -
13:10 - 13:12It could revolutionize
the public services. -
13:12 - 13:15It could really change
things quite significantly. -
13:15 - 13:18Here's a guy you all need to study.
-
13:18 - 13:20Anybody heard of him?
-
13:20 - 13:23Good. One or two.
-
13:23 - 13:24He's an Austrian school economist
-
13:24 - 13:29who was first active in the first half
of the 20th century in Vienna. -
13:29 - 13:32What was interesting
about the Austrian school -
13:32 - 13:35is they actually grew up alongside Freud.
-
13:35 - 13:38And so they're predominantly
interested in psychology. -
13:38 - 13:42They believed that there was a discipline
called praxeology, -
13:42 - 13:45which is a prior discipline
to the study of economics. -
13:45 - 13:50Praxeology is the study of human choice,
action and decision making. -
13:50 - 13:52I think they're right.
-
13:52 - 13:54I think the danger
we have in today's world -
13:54 - 13:55is we have the study of economics
-
13:55 - 14:00considers itself to be a prior discipline
to the study of human psychology. -
14:00 - 14:03But as Charlie Munger says,
"If economics isn't behavioral, -
14:03 - 14:05I don't know what the hell is."
-
14:05 - 14:11Von Mises, interestingly, believes
economics is just a subset of psychology. -
14:11 - 14:13I think he just refers to economics as
-
14:13 - 14:17"the study of human praxeology
under conditions of scarcity." -
14:17 - 14:20But von Mises, among many other things,
-
14:20 - 14:25I think uses an analogy which is probably
the best justification and explanation -
14:25 - 14:29for the value of marketing,
the value of perceived value -
14:29 - 14:33and the fact that we should actually
treat it as being absolutely equivalent -
14:33 - 14:35to any other kind of value.
-
14:35 - 14:37All of us - even those of us
who work in marketing - -
14:37 - 14:39tend to think of value in two ways.
-
14:39 - 14:40There's the real value,
-
14:40 - 14:43which is when you make something
in a factory and provide a service, -
14:43 - 14:45and then there's a kind of dubious value,
-
14:45 - 14:48which you create by changing
the way people look at things. -
14:48 - 14:50Von Mises completely rejected
this distinction. -
14:50 - 14:52And he used this following analogy.
-
14:52 - 14:57He referred actually to strange economists
called the French Physiocrats, -
14:57 - 15:00who believed that the only true value
was what you extracted from the land. -
15:00 - 15:03So if you're a shepherd
or a quarryman or a farmer, -
15:03 - 15:05you created true value.
-
15:05 - 15:08If however, you bought
some wool from the shepherd -
15:08 - 15:10and charged a premium
for converting it into a hat, -
15:10 - 15:13you weren't actually creating value,
-
15:13 - 15:15you were exploiting the shepherd.
-
15:15 - 15:19Now von Mises said that modern economists
make exactly the same mistake -
15:19 - 15:21with regard to advertising and marketing.
-
15:21 - 15:23He says, if you run a restaurant,
-
15:23 - 15:25there is no healthy distinction to be made
-
15:25 - 15:28between the value you create
by cooking the food -
15:28 - 15:31and the value you create
by sweeping the floor. -
15:31 - 15:33One of them creates, perhaps,
the primary product - -
15:33 - 15:35the thing we think we're paying for -
-
15:35 - 15:37the other one creates a context
-
15:37 - 15:40within which we can enjoy
and appreciate that product. -
15:40 - 15:43And the idea that one of them should
actually have priority over the other -
15:43 - 15:44is fundamentally wrong.
-
15:44 - 15:46Try this quick thought experiment.
-
15:46 - 15:49Imagine a restaurant
that serves Michelin-starred food, -
15:49 - 15:52but actually where
the restaurant smells of sewage -
15:52 - 15:54and there's human feces on the floor.
-
15:55 - 15:58The best thing you can do there
to create value -
15:58 - 16:01is not actually to improve
the food still further, -
16:01 - 16:04it's to get rid of the smell
and clean up the floor. -
16:05 - 16:08And it's vital we understand this.
-
16:08 - 16:10If that seems like some strange,
abstruse thing, -
16:10 - 16:15in the U.K., the post office
had a 98 percent success rate -
16:15 - 16:18at delivering first-class mail
the next day. -
16:18 - 16:19They decided this wasn't good enough
-
16:19 - 16:22and they wanted to get it up to 99.
-
16:23 - 16:26The effort to do that
almost broke the organization. -
16:27 - 16:29If at the same time you'd gone
and asked people, -
16:29 - 16:32"What percentage of first-class mail
arrives the next day?" -
16:32 - 16:36the average, or the modal answer
would have been 50 to 60 percent. -
16:37 - 16:40Now if your perception
is much worse than your reality, -
16:40 - 16:43what on earth are you doing
trying to change the reality? -
16:43 - 16:46That's like trying to improve
the food in a restaurant that stinks. -
16:48 - 16:49What you need to do
-
16:49 - 16:51is first of all tell people
-
16:51 - 16:55that 98 percent of mail gets there
the next day, first-class mail. -
16:55 - 16:57That's pretty good.
-
16:57 - 17:00I would argue, in Britain there's
a much better frame of reference, -
17:00 - 17:01which is to tell people
-
17:01 - 17:03that more first-class mail
arrives the next day -
17:03 - 17:05in the U.K. than in Germany.
-
17:05 - 17:09Because generally in Britain if you want
to make us happy about something, -
17:09 - 17:11just tell us we do it better
than the Germans. -
17:11 - 17:12(Laughter)
-
17:12 - 17:14(Applause)
-
17:15 - 17:18Choose your frame of reference
and the perceived value -
17:18 - 17:21and therefore the actual value
is completely transformed. -
17:21 - 17:23It has to be said of the Germans
-
17:23 - 17:26that the Germans and the French
are doing a brilliant job -
17:26 - 17:28of creating a united Europe.
-
17:28 - 17:30The only thing they didn't expect
is they're uniting Europe -
17:30 - 17:33through a shared mild hatred
of the French and Germans. -
17:33 - 17:36But I'm British,
that's the way we like it. -
17:38 - 17:41What you also notice is that
in any case our perception is leaky. -
17:41 - 17:44We can't tell the difference
between the quality of the food -
17:44 - 17:46and the environment
in which we consume it. -
17:46 - 17:48All of you will have seen this phenomenon
-
17:48 - 17:50if you have your car washed or valeted.
-
17:51 - 17:54When you drive away,
your car feels as if it drives better. -
17:56 - 17:57And the reason for this,
-
17:57 - 18:00unless my car valet
mysteriously is changing the oil -
18:00 - 18:03and performing work which
I'm not paying him for and I'm unaware of, -
18:03 - 18:05is because perception
is in any case leaky. -
18:05 - 18:09Analgesics that are branded
are more effective at reducing pain -
18:09 - 18:11than analgesics that are not branded.
-
18:11 - 18:14I don't just mean through
reported pain reduction, -
18:14 - 18:15actual measured pain reduction.
-
18:15 - 18:20And so perception actually
is leaky in any case. -
18:21 - 18:24So if you do something
that's perceptually bad in one respect, -
18:24 - 18:25you can damage the other.
-
18:25 - 18:27I'll end very quicky
-
18:27 - 18:30with something without which
you'd never be happy for me to miss -
18:30 - 18:32which is the perfect demonstration
-
18:32 - 18:35of creating economically
fairly sustainable value, -
18:35 - 18:37through doing nothing to the product,
-
18:37 - 18:40and everything to the way
in which it's consumed and perceived. -
18:40 - 18:44(Video) Man:
Shreddies are supposed to be square. -
18:44 - 18:48Woman: Have any of these
diamond shapes gone out? -
18:49 - 18:51[Diamond Shreddies]
Woman: New Diamond Shreddies cereal -
18:51 - 18:55Same 100% Whole Grain Wheat
in a delicious diamond shape. -
18:56 - 18:59Rory Sutherland: Very finally,
here's the poster campaign. -
18:59 - 19:01(Laughter)
-
19:01 - 19:04(Applause)
-
19:09 - 19:12Some Canadians are inherently
very conservative, -
19:12 - 19:15and were very annoyed that their
square Shreddies had been taken away. -
19:15 - 19:18It was kind of a new-coat
marketing moment. -
19:18 - 19:21So after long thought and deliberation,
-
19:21 - 19:22they arrived at a compromise.
-
19:22 - 19:24Thank you very much.
-
19:24 - 19:26(Applause)

Hello.
I would like to draw your attention to the existing TED.com transcription and translation.
