This is a video of Dr. David Tian, a psychology professor from Stanford University, delivering an impromptu talk on the topic of “using desire to shape your reality” at a TEDx event. In this 15-minute-long speech, he goes through a number of mental hacks that you can use to engineer your own life and build the life you want. This video provides not only practical advice on how you can better shape your current reality, but also gives some hope for future generations in terms of shaping our own future environments and lives by leveraging technology. In this TEDx talk from 2017, Dr. David Tian talks about the idea of rewiring your desires, which was the focus of his book "Desire". He explains how the desire system works, and goes to explain how you can use this to consciously change your future. According to Dr. David Tian, your brain is not capable of making decisions based on logic due to it having 8 different parts, but instead uses emotions as a decision crutch to make fast decisions. This is why people often make irrational decisions that are not completely logical. If emotions are used as a crutch for decision making, then what if you reprogrammed yourself to use logic for your decisions? Dr. David Tian explains how you can do this by purposefully taking time to focus on the details of what you want, how it makes you feel, and why you want it. This will work because the subconscious mind does not know the difference between a real experience and a visualization. In this video, Dr. David Tian further elaborates on how you can use your own mind to program your future reality. He explains how choosing a destination for your future acts as a declarative thought, so this can be used to influence your desires. In order to get the most benefit from this, you have to know your goal and what you want in life. Dr. David Tian gives many examples of people who achieved their goals while having a very clear picture of what they wanted. He goes on to talk about the virtues of resetting your desires, which is useful in knowing what to do when you make decisions that are not aligned with your actual goals. Dr. David Tian also adds that you should not only program your desires, but also check in with yourself and make sure that you got these desires right. This is because the mind is a very complicated device and uses signals from different sources, so it's important to be aware of all inputs and outputs. In order to build our future we must first know what we want. We need to focus on the long term as it takes a lot of effort upfront to get there. In order to create a future that is desirable, Dr. David Tian explains how you can use technology as a tool for change, but not as an end in itself. cfa1e77820
