Dialogue: 0,0:00:01.00,0:00:03.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was here four years ago,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:03.00,0:00:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I remember, at the time,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.00,0:00:08.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the talks weren't put online.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.00,0:00:12.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think they were given to TEDsters in a box,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.00,0:00:14.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a box set of DVDs,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.00,0:00:17.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which they put on their shelves, where they are now.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.00,0:00:19.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.00,0:00:21.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And actually, Chris called me
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.00,0:00:23.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a week after I'd given my talk
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.00,0:00:25.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he said, "We're going to start putting them online.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.00,0:00:28.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Can we put yours online?" And I said, "Sure."
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.00,0:00:30.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And four years later,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.00,0:00:32.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as I said, it's been seen by four ...
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.00,0:00:35.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, it's been downloaded four million times.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.00,0:00:38.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I suppose you could multiply that by 20 or something
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.00,0:00:40.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to get the number of people who've seen it.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.00,0:00:44.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, as Chris says, there is a hunger
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.00,0:00:46.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for videos of me.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.00,0:00:49.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.00,0:00:52.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.00,0:00:55.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,... don't you feel?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.00,0:00:58.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.00,0:01:03.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, this whole event has been an elaborate build-up
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.00,0:01:07.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to me doing another one for you, so here it is.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.00,0:01:08.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.00,0:01:12.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Al Gore spoke
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.00,0:01:15.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at the TED conference I spoke at four years ago
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.00,0:01:17.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and talked about the climate crisis.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.00,0:01:19.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I referenced that
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.00,0:01:21.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at the end of my last talk.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.00,0:01:23.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I want to pick up from there
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.00,0:01:26.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I only had 18 minutes, frankly.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.00,0:01:28.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, as I was saying...
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.00,0:01:33.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.00,0:01:38.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You see, he's right.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.00,0:01:41.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mean, there is a major climate crisis, obviously,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.00,0:01:44.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I think if people don't believe it, they should get out more.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.00,0:01:47.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.00,0:01:50.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I believe there's a second climate crisis,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.00,0:01:53.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is as severe,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.00,0:01:56.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which has the same origins,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.00,0:01:59.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that we have to deal with with the same urgency.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.00,0:02:01.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I mean by this --
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.00,0:02:03.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you may say, by the way, "Look, I'm good.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.00,0:02:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I have one climate crisis;
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.00,0:02:08.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't really need the second one."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.00,0:02:10.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But this is a crisis of, not natural resources --
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.00,0:02:13.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,though I believe that's true --
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.00,0:02:15.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but a crisis of human resources.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.00,0:02:17.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I believe fundamentally,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.00,0:02:19.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as many speakers have said during the past few days,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.00,0:02:22.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we make very poor use
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.00,0:02:25.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of our talents.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.00,0:02:27.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Very many people go through their whole lives
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.00,0:02:30.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,having no real sense of what their talents may be,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.00,0:02:32.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or if they have any to speak of.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.00,0:02:34.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I meet all kinds of people
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.00,0:02:37.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who don't think they're really good at anything.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.00,0:02:41.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Actually, I kind of divide the world into two groups now.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.00,0:02:44.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Jeremy Bentham, the great utilitarian philosopher,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.00,0:02:46.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,once spiked this argument.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.00,0:02:48.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He said, "There are two types of people in this world:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.00,0:02:50.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,those who divide the world into two types
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.00,0:02:52.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and those who do not."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.00,0:02:55.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.00,0:02:59.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, I do.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.00,0:03:01.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.00,0:03:06.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I meet all kinds of people
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.00,0:03:09.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who don't enjoy what they do.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.00,0:03:11.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They simply go through their lives
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.00,0:03:13.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,getting on with it.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.00,0:03:15.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They get no great pleasure from what they do.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.00,0:03:18.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They endure it rather than enjoy it
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.00,0:03:21.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and wait for the weekend.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.00,0:03:23.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I also meet people
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.00,0:03:25.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who love what they do
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.00,0:03:27.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and couldn't imagine doing anything else.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.00,0:03:30.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you said to them, "Don't do this anymore," they'd wonder what you were talking about.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.00,0:03:33.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because it isn't what they do, it's who they are. They say,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.00,0:03:35.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"But this is me, you know.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.00,0:03:37.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It would be foolish for me to abandon this, because
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.00,0:03:39.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it speaks to my most authentic self."
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.00,0:03:42.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it's not true of enough people.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.00,0:03:44.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact, on the contrary, I think
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.00,0:03:46.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's still true of a minority of people.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.00,0:03:48.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think there are many
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.00,0:03:50.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,possible explanations for it.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.00,0:03:52.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And high among them
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.00,0:03:54.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is education,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.00,0:03:56.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because education, in a way,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.00,0:03:58.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,dislocates very many people
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.00,0:04:00.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from their natural talents.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.00,0:04:03.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And human resources are like natural resources;
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.00,0:04:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they're often buried deep.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.00,0:04:07.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You have to go looking for them,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.00,0:04:09.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they're not just lying around on the surface.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.00,0:04:12.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You have to create the circumstances where they show themselves.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.00,0:04:14.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you might imagine
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.00,0:04:16.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,education would be the way that happens,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.00,0:04:18.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but too often it's not.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.00,0:04:20.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Every education system in the world
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.00,0:04:22.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is being reformed at the moment
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.00,0:04:24.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's not enough.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.00,0:04:26.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Reform is no use anymore,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.00,0:04:29.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because that's simply improving a broken model.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.00,0:04:31.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What we need --
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.00,0:04:33.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the word's been used many times during the course of the past few days --
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.00,0:04:35.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is not evolution,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.00,0:04:38.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but a revolution in education.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.00,0:04:40.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This has to be transformed
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.00,0:04:42.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into something else.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.00,0:04:47.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.00,0:04:50.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of the real challenges
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.00,0:04:52.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to innovate fundamentally
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.00,0:04:54.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in education.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.00,0:04:56.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Innovation is hard
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.00,0:04:58.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it means doing something
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.00,0:05:00.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that people don't find very easy, for the most part.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.00,0:05:03.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It means challenging what we take for granted,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.00,0:05:06.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,things that we think are obvious.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.00,0:05:08.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The great problem for reform
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.00,0:05:10.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or transformation
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.00,0:05:12.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the tyranny of common sense;
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.00,0:05:14.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,things that people think,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.00,0:05:16.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Well, it can't be done any other way because that's the way it's done."
Dialogue: 0,0:05:16.00,0:05:19.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I came across a great quote recently from Abraham Lincoln,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.00,0:05:22.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who I thought you'd be pleased to have quoted at this point.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.00,0:05:24.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.00,0:05:27.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He said this in December 1862
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.00,0:05:30.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the second annual meeting of Congress.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.00,0:05:34.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I ought to explain that I have no idea what was happening at the time.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.00,0:05:38.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We don't teach American history in Britain.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.00,0:05:40.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.00,0:05:43.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We suppress it. You know, this is our policy.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.00,0:05:45.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.00,0:05:48.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, no doubt, something fascinating was happening in December 1862,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.00,0:05:50.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which the Americans among us
Dialogue: 0,0:05:50.00,0:05:52.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,will be aware of.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:53.00,0:05:55.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But he said this:
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.00,0:05:57.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"The dogmas
Dialogue: 0,0:05:57.00,0:05:59.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the quiet past
Dialogue: 0,0:05:59.00,0:06:02.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are inadequate to the stormy present.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:02.00,0:06:04.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The occasion
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.00,0:06:06.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is piled high with difficulty,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.00,0:06:09.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we must rise with the occasion."
Dialogue: 0,0:06:09.00,0:06:11.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I love that.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:11.00,0:06:14.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not rise to it, rise with it.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:15.00,0:06:17.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"As our case is new,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:17.00,0:06:20.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we must think anew

Dialogue: 0,0:14:11.00,0:14:14.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the reason so many people are opting out of education

Dialogue: 0,0:14:53.00,0:14:56.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So when we look at reforming education and transforming it,
