¿Puede la humanidad llegar a saber lo que realmente quiere? | Leo McCann | TEDxKings College School

La brecha entre lo que la gente dice que quiere y lo que hace en realidad es una cuestión filosófica antigua que muchas personas encuentran en su vida diaria. El ponente, Leo McCann, se pregunta qué implica esto para instituciones como las votaciones o las condenas, que se diseñaron partiendo de la idea de que las personas conocen su propia mente. La charla se impartió en un evento TEDx organizado de forma independiente. El ponente es alumno de Year 11 en King's College School, en Wimbledon.

• La brecha entre los deseos declarados y el comportamiento real
• Instituciones que asumen que las personas conocen sus motivos
• Una cuestión filosófica planteada en un evento TEDx

Leo examines the gap between what we say we want and what we actually do, a problem philosophers have worried about for a very long time and which most of us encounter before breakfast. He then asks what it means for institutions, from voting to sentencing, that are designed around the assumption that people know their own minds. Leo is a Year 11 pupil at King's College School, Wimbledon, who is passionate about philosophy, politics, and the delicate link between the two. He has a particular interest in theology, and is a founding member of "Big Questions and the Bible", a club which explores profound questions through a religious lens. Outside school, he enjoys rugby, football, and cricket, and is a keen supporter of AFC Wimbledon. He also loves music and travelling. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
