0:00:19.991,0:00:25.227
Yeah, I have read the title, [br]"Subject to Change".

0:00:25.292,0:00:33.023
"Change" now is always being capitalised. [br]If you work in a big company,

0:00:33.023,0:00:34.974
they say, "Everything [br]has to change,

0:00:34.974,0:00:37.390
not a stone must [br]be left standing.

0:00:37.390,0:00:41.624
We will reorganise [br]everything completely.

0:00:41.624,0:00:46.859
But don't worry, nothing is [br]going to change at your workplace."

0:00:46.859,0:00:48.039
(Laughter)

0:00:48.039,0:00:49.768
But also nothing [br]is getting done.

0:00:49.784,0:00:56.174
You only have to work a little bit faster. [br]Your salary is sinking a little bit but ...

0:00:56.174,0:00:58.157
"Minor changes."

0:00:58.157,0:01:02.640
And there are certain people who [br]somehow want to keep it the same way,

0:01:02.640,0:01:10.339
and other people, managers [br]actually, rant and rave and say,

0:01:10.339,0:01:16.732
"You are simply too stubborn. You [br]must have a change of heart."

0:01:16.748,0:01:21.325
Everyone is saying that. [br]Well ... it's not that easy.

0:01:21.325,0:01:24.857
Managers want us to [br]have a change of heart,

0:01:24.857,0:01:27.824
teachers want that, our [br]parents, Mrs Merkel, everybody.

0:01:27.824,0:01:34.609
And always when politicians say that people [br]should have a change of heart,

0:01:34.609,0:01:41.525
then you realise that they already have written [br]off themselves that they are going to do it.

0:01:41.525,0:01:44.407
Because there will be [br]no change of heart

0:01:44.407,0:01:47.173
and that is a little bit [br]due to ourwelves.

0:01:47.173,0:01:50.672
And now, I want to [br]comment it theoretically.

0:01:50.672,0:01:53.841
It's simply the [br]"theory of change".

0:01:53.841,0:01:57.641
I have just opened up a [br]normal psychology book

0:01:57.641,0:02:02.025
containing a few horrible terms

0:02:02.025,0:02:03.775
which are on the first slide.

0:02:03.775,0:02:06.907
I will simply tell you the bare facts.

0:02:06.907,0:02:12.389
But I can also do it in a softer [br]way that you don’t get too much scared.

0:02:12.389,0:02:22.109
Well, there is a tug of war going on between [br]different forces inside the human being.

0:02:22.109,0:02:26.351
There is a famous book "Grundformen [br]der Angst" (The Basic Forms of Fears)

0:02:26.381,0:02:30.724
from the 70s which [br]you must have read.

0:02:30.724,0:02:34.808
Psychologists don’t like it [br]as it is a literary master piece

0:02:34.808,0:02:37.956
and describes everything very well [br]however doesn’t prove anything.

0:02:37.956,0:02:41.006
But you can talk about it very well.

0:02:41.006,0:02:45.457
The message of the whole thing is [br]that there are two tugs of war

0:02:45.457,0:02:47.857
of which I will only discuss one

0:02:47.857,0:02:52.058
as it only should be 18 minutes.

0:02:52.058,0:02:56.841
From the left to the right: Well, there [br]are a kind of obsessive people

0:02:56.841,0:02:58.438
and a kind of hysterical people.

0:02:58.438,0:03:02.724
The obsessive ones want to [br]keep everything the same way,

0:03:02.724,0:03:06.339
and the hysterical ones want [br]that everything always changes.

0:03:06.339,0:03:08.491
There are these two sorts of people.

0:03:08.491,0:03:10.307
And they argue.

0:03:10.307,0:03:14.025
Both are nearly more [br]or less unchanging

0:03:14.025,0:03:15.924
and stay that way,

0:03:15.924,0:03:17.840
and that is the normal argument.

0:03:17.840,0:03:21.656
At the moment, the hysterical [br]ones are in the majority,

0:03:21.656,0:03:24.058
or let’s say, "in a higher priority."

0:03:24.058,0:03:25.890
They are in higher [br]salary classes,

0:03:25.890,0:03:28.598
all those change managers [br]and consultants

0:03:28.598,0:03:30.368
who attack us and say

0:03:30.383,0:03:32.492
that we had to change radically.

0:03:32.508,0:03:35.390
In principle, they celebrate [br]the hysterical principle.

0:03:35.390,0:03:38.108
I simply took out the characteristics

0:03:38.108,0:03:41.624
of hysteria and obsession of a company

0:03:41.624,0:03:48.290
and said that, at present, the entire theory of [br]management is to diss the obsessive ones.

0:03:48.290,0:03:52.224
Otherwise, there is [br]nothing behind it.

0:03:52.224,0:03:54.361
There is no intellectual [br]content behind it. (Laughter)

0:03:54.361,0:04:00.995
I will leave this out. There’s [br]another tug of war, from bottom up,

0:04:00.995,0:04:06.261
these are the depressed ones who [br]always want to do everything in company.

0:04:06.261,0:04:08.346
Happens.

0:04:08.346,0:04:13.228
And then the schizoid ones [br]who have very much self-confidence

0:04:13.228,0:04:15.443
but a very sensitive self-consciousness,

0:04:15.443,0:04:22.727
type "geek" or type "nerd." Right?

0:04:22.727,0:04:27.871
Very isolated but can work very well [br]alone, especially at the computer

0:04:27.871,0:04:33.962
and from time to time they have to [br]make a proud contribution to Google+.

0:04:33.962,0:04:35.997
(Laughter)

0:04:35.997,0:04:38.929
But that’s another talk.

0:04:38.929,0:04:41.308
Today, I am to talk about "change."

0:04:41.308,0:04:44.986
The depressed ones are mostly on Facebook.

0:04:44.986,0:04:50.004
(Laughter)

0:04:50.004,0:04:51.737
But that’s true.

0:04:51.737,0:04:53.854
(Applause) (Laughter)

0:04:53.854,0:04:55.753
Because they have friends there.

0:04:55.753,0:04:59.217
(Laughter)

0:04:59.249,0:05:03.688
On Google+ you have opponents.

0:05:03.688,0:05:10.387
There are the rulers [br]and they gather there.

0:05:10.387,0:05:15.104
This is also an extra talk. [br]I will leave that out.

0:05:15.104,0:05:20.554
Once I posted the same thing [br]on Facebook and on Google+.

0:05:20.554,0:05:27.522
The depressed ones on Facebook [br]said, "You must have read my thoughts."

0:05:27.522,0:05:29.672
"We love you all", or so.

0:05:29.672,0:05:32.488
And on Google+, "You didn’t read the link anyway!"

0:05:32.488,0:05:35.953
"Look it up, that’s not new!"

0:05:35.953,0:05:38.387
Right? On Google+ you get [br]completely different answers.

0:05:39.837,0:05:41.287
These are the different …

0:05:41.287,0:05:45.604
Therefore, there is that hate going on between the [br]members of Google+ and Facebook and vice versa

0:05:45.604,0:05:48.371
but as I said earlier, that’s [br]another talk, I will leave that out.

0:05:48.371,0:05:53.987
On "Subject to change" only the ones who want to [br]keep it the same way fight against each other.

0:05:53.987,0:05:58.455
I looked it up in a psychology [br]book what it means

0:05:58.455,0:06:02.254
in order to make these hard [br]vocabularies a little bit softer.

0:06:02.254,0:06:05.821
That is the short version for now.

0:06:05.821,0:06:08.371
[Slide, "obsessive"]: [br]Tradition, rules, order, unity,

0:06:08.371,0:06:15.153
and the others say, advance [br]and panta rhei. That’s not fair.

0:06:15.153,0:06:18.218
[Slide, "hysterical": Advance, flow, open up, variety]

0:06:18.218,0:06:21.283
The hysterical ones arm [br]themselves with Greek … stuff,

0:06:21.283,0:06:25.324
"You now chose foreign [br]words that I didn’t even know."

0:06:25.324,0:06:29.838
(Laughter)

0:06:29.838,0:06:34.149
But you understand, right? [br]I don’t have to explain it any further.

0:06:34.149,0:06:41.515
That you can really understand it. Well, [br]that is now official psychology. It’s not my fault.

0:06:41.515,0:06:49.232
Here, you can see the characteristics: careful, [br]ambitious, constant, persistent, clean, rational, [br]and so on.

0:06:49.232,0:06:55.165
And on the other side: no risk, no fun, impulsive, [br]adventurous, loves the show, likes to be in the [br]center of attention – or up here

0:06:55.165,0:07:00.380
(Laughter)

0:07:00.380,0:07:02.498
Have you read it all?

0:07:02.498,0:07:08.997
"Is shallow, sometimes restless and so on."

0:07:08.997,0:07:12.531
Can you feel that they [br]are arguing with each other?

0:07:12.531,0:07:19.415
Here the ones say, "You stupid duty monkey do you [br]always have to do the same things?" – from [br]right to left.

0:07:19.415,0:07:23.781
"Blockhead, always going home [br]and to your garden plot and keeping dates.

0:07:23.781,0:07:28.047
Is it not just once possible for you to come on the [br]weekend and work, thus, you can finish it?"

0:07:28.047,0:07:32.181
"No, I’m working at VW. I’m [br]not available on weekends."

0:07:32.181,0:07:39.220
And from left to right, they [br]always talk about shallowness.

0:07:39.220,0:07:42.042
"And you just talk [br]and don’t do anything."

0:07:42.042,0:07:44.281
"You only want the adventure, [br]but I should make it happen."

0:07:44.281,0:07:47.431
"And additionally, I should give you the money, too."

0:07:47.431,0:07:52.281
Yeah, the others are economical and don’t [br]have any money left at the end of the month.

0:07:52.281,0:07:59.967
They raise credits, right? You can also notice it [br]now from the behavior of the companies.

0:07:59.967,0:08:01.531
And thus, they argue [br]with each other.

0:08:01.531,0:08:05.566
What should talk about next, [br]only 11 minutes to go?

0:08:05.566,0:08:12.682
The official German [br]notion of a human is –

0:08:12.682,0:08:17.265
left, obsessive, right?

0:08:17.265,0:08:19.365
And I just want to make [br]a comment about that.

0:08:19.365,0:08:22.199
Virtually, all the people [br]make officially efforts

0:08:22.199,0:08:24.565
to teach us these characteristics,

0:08:24.565,0:08:26.498
not those over there.

0:08:26.498,0:08:30.915
I mean, when all the people make efforts to [br]raise their children to become obsessive,

0:08:30.915,0:08:33.249
then how should they change?

0:08:33.249,0:08:36.597
And where?

0:08:36.597,0:08:40.431
And I just want to make [br]a comment about that.

0:08:40.431,0:08:44.198
To describe it, I invented the [br]term "Ungewöhnung" (un-habit-forming)

0:08:44.198,0:08:48.581
meaning they shouldn’t drill [br]so much into the children,

0:08:48.581,0:08:53.732
how they should limit themselves [br]every day, then it’s easier to change.

0:08:53.732,0:08:57.265
But I also don’t want to say that you should [br]bring up your children in the hysterical way.

0:08:57.265,0:08:59.364
That would be a bit too much.

0:08:59.364,0:09:02.798
The golden mean wouldn’t be that bad.

0:09:02.798,0:09:08.046
But what we are doing now is, [br]actually, to get the people used to

0:09:08.046,0:09:11.415
all these characteristics over here.

0:09:11.415,0:09:15.848
Approximately until the master’s degree.

0:09:15.848,0:09:18.749
Then, they come into a company [br]and they are told, "Now, do something."

0:09:18.749,0:09:20.149
"Like what?"

0:09:20.149,0:09:21.732
"Change!"

0:09:21.732,0:09:24.865
"Yeah, but where? Can I [br]have a look at the roadmap?

0:09:24.865,0:09:28.899
Can you tell me what the milestones are [br]and what I should do tomorrow?

0:09:28.899,0:09:30.547
In the smallest quanta?

0:09:30.547,0:09:33.931
Then they are told, "Don’t stand here like stupid [br]and ask what you have to do: Simply change!"

0:09:33.931,0:09:36.081
And again, "Where?" And then, [br]we are standing there.

0:09:36.081,0:09:37.664
Do you understand?

0:09:37.664,0:09:42.365
In that way we don’t look [br]contently into the comfort zone future

0:09:42.365,0:09:47.530
we only notice the change [br]when it already happened.

0:09:47.530,0:09:52.764
But the obsessive ones already notice [br]the change when they are scared.

0:09:52.764,0:09:56.248
There is something in the air that [br]something is going to happen

0:09:56.248,0:09:58.445
and they know when it will happen,

0:09:58.445,0:10:00.150
in fact, when they are getting scared.

0:10:00.150,0:10:03.098
And the hysterical ones really [br]feel like doing something.

0:10:03.098,0:10:06.547
That is really something different. Right?

0:10:06.547,0:10:13.348
I have written down some opposites.

0:10:13.348,0:10:18.080
Like I said, this is what a [br]normal boss is going to say at work.

0:10:18.080,0:10:21.315
Virtually the left side: [br]"Avoid mistakes!", "Unity!",

0:10:21.315,0:10:26.498
"The slides have to have the real logo, and all slides [br]have to have the same color in the company."

0:10:26.498,0:10:31.198
"The A-level exams must be the [br]same in every Land", and so on.

0:10:31.198,0:10:33.868
I only say unity, unity, unity.

0:10:33.868,0:10:36.019
Everything in unicolor.

0:10:36.019,0:10:39.515
Well, that’s it what we [br]are forced into in daily life.

0:10:39.515,0:10:45.596
And at management meetings [br]or at a "strategy meeting"

0:10:45.596,0:10:48.978
where you can set [br]your thoughts free,

0:10:48.978,0:10:51.532
think about a durable [br]future and so on;

0:10:51.532,0:10:54.448
or at those psychological seminars where [br]you talk about emotional intelligence

0:10:54.448,0:10:56.899
and what you have to [br]do in normal life

0:10:56.899,0:10:58.881
there is always being said [br]what’s here on the right,

0:10:58.881,0:11:04.531
"Now do something." or "One [br]must be allowed to make mistakes."

0:11:04.531,0:11:10.264
Right? Or "Set yourself some goals." "Do something [br]different." "Don’t always ask for permission."

0:11:10.264,0:11:13.399
Unfortunately, we still [br]don’t have a science for this,

0:11:13.399,0:11:17.800
business administration [br]is strictly left.

0:11:17.800,0:11:24.013
For the right side, there are only appeals. You [br]don’t exactly know how to teach that to someone.

0:11:24.013,0:11:29.215
The problem is that the people on the left feel [br]more like adults, and the people on the right

0:11:29.215,0:11:32.548
represent rather the ones [br]who remained children.

0:11:32.548,0:11:35.046
The child is still spoiled and [br]wants permanently something different,

0:11:35.046,0:11:37.348
wants to go on adventures. [br]That’s a bit dangerous

0:11:37.348,0:11:41.198
and that’s why it’s really [br]difficult to stay a child.

0:11:41.198,0:11:46.881
At my home, it is sometimes [br]said that I’m still a child.

0:11:46.881,0:11:50.148
(Laughter) But that's okay.

0:11:50.148,0:11:54.263
Thus, I’m not so [br]much on the left side.

0:11:54.263,0:11:55.598
Okay.

0:11:55.598,0:12:00.831
I’ve googled that. Once again, [br]I looked at my report card,

0:12:00.831,0:12:03.381
which I found.

0:12:03.381,0:12:06.947
I looked at what I was good. At "Ordnung" [br](organisation) and at "Fleiß" (studiousness).

0:12:06.947,0:12:11.266
Yes, that’s what is standing there. [br]Yeah, I found that from my years in school.

0:12:11.266,0:12:14.065
There is "Ordnung", "Fleiß", "Betragen" [br](conduct) and "Mitarbeit" (collaberation).

0:12:14.065,0:12:15.331
We got grades for that.

0:12:15.331,0:12:16.736
Are they still doing this?

0:12:16.736,0:12:17.864
Very similar.

0:12:17.864,0:12:21.567
Well, when I googled it right they [br]substituted it with more sophisticated

0:12:21.567,0:12:28.964
vocabulary like "social behavior" and [br]"purposeful professional success stuff."

0:12:28.964,0:12:33.613
That’s what I’ve written there.

0:12:33.613,0:12:41.998
Did you notice that the school is [br]teaching us to become obsessive?

0:12:41.998,0:12:43.966
That stands there implicitly.

0:12:43.966,0:12:48.548
For people to recognize that, I [br]simply proposed new grades.

0:12:48.548,0:12:50.614
I simply made them up.

0:12:50.614,0:12:52.566
You just can have a look if you like them.

0:12:52.566,0:12:54.965
I just take some other ones.

0:12:54.965,0:12:57.309
"Creativity, innovativeness, sense of humor."

0:12:57.309,0:13:00.050
[Slide: Constructive will. Initiative & community spirit. [br]Balanced self-confidence.]

0:13:00.050,0:13:03.976
Have you ever seen a job description with "a sense of humor?"

0:13:03.976,0:13:04.998
(Laughter)

0:13:04.998,0:13:07.147
Not even in marketing. (Laughter)

0:13:07.147,0:13:13.665
They should be able to make [br]dumb jokes, be funny on demand;

0:13:13.665,0:13:15.365
these are the people [br]from marketing. (Laughter)

0:13:15.365,0:13:20.599
When they are funny on [br]demand – that’s again left, right?

0:13:20.599,0:13:25.132
By now you’ve read everything.

0:13:25.132,0:13:28.166
A "winning appearence."

0:13:28.166,0:13:31.466
What do you think, when I [br]publicize that, not only at TEDx,

0:13:31.466,0:13:33.798
but when I tell it to teachers,

0:13:33.798,0:13:36.865
I get crucified. That [br]is strange, isn’t it?

0:13:36.865,0:13:39.497
But that is what is actually [br]needed in this profession.

0:13:39.497,0:13:44.331
You find that neither in job descriptions [br]nor in general conduct grades. Right?

0:13:44.331,0:13:49.531
Of course, every year [br]I’ve written a book about it

0:13:49.531,0:13:52.149
and this time it is [br]about professional intelligence.

0:13:52.149,0:13:55.414
Here, I’ve randomly written [br]down some kinds of intelligence.

0:13:55.414,0:13:58.048
I just made them up. Those [br]are the ones we should have.

0:13:59.100,0:14:02.431
People possess intelligence anyway; [br]you know that because you possess it.

0:14:02.431,0:14:06.548
Emotional intelligence, [br]you probably don’t have yet.

0:14:06.548,0:14:10.881
It only exists 30 years and [br]there is still not done enough research.

0:14:10.881,0:14:13.831
When they do projects [br]and they go wrong,

0:14:13.831,0:14:15.647
then they always sit together

0:14:15.647,0:14:20.899
and start wining and ask, "What went wrong?"

0:14:20.899,0:14:23.031
That is called "Lesson learned."

0:14:23.031,0:14:24.779
(Laughter)

0:14:24.779,0:14:27.346
And then it turns out [br]that we had conflicts

0:14:27.346,0:14:30.599
and communication problems. We [br]didn’t talk to each other in the right way.

0:14:30.599,0:14:33.165
Blahblahblahblah. "You [br]don’t have an EQ", they say.

0:14:33.165,0:14:38.466
Somehow it’s not allowed [br]anymore to be creative.

0:14:38.466,0:14:41.631
There are TEDx videos about paper clips.

0:14:41.631,0:14:44.816
"Are you able to do 100 …", there [br]is this thing made of brass.

0:14:44.816,0:14:48.149
"Are you able to tell 100 things that [br]can be done with a paper clip?"

0:14:48.149,0:14:51.247
If you were on the executive level, [br]a manager as I was, then you would say,

0:14:51.247,0:14:54.448
"Clipping traveling expenses."

0:14:54.448,0:14:57.048
Are you able to name 100? [br]You’re not able to.

0:14:57.048,0:15:01.698
When I ask you, "Are you able to name 100?", [br]then your brain goes, "Oh, shit."

0:15:01.698,0:15:03.881
Do you understand?

0:15:03.881,0:15:06.931
This part of your brain with which you [br]could do that is switched off for a long time.

0:15:06.931,0:15:08.881
(Laughter)

0:15:08.881,0:15:12.765
I found statistics – you can [br]look it up under this test –

0:15:12.765,0:15:19.615
saying that 98 % of all children, around five, [br]are able to tell you very fast 100 possibilities.

0:15:19.615,0:15:21.215
Try to do this.

0:15:21.215,0:15:23.565
Small children. Boys, girls.

0:15:23.565,0:15:25.198
Spotlight on! Like their eyes are shining.

0:15:25.198,0:15:27.331
The boy says, [br]"I can prick the girls,

0:15:27.331,0:15:29.779
pick my ears, pick my nose, [br]pick everything;

0:15:29.779,0:15:33.015
and behind…"

0:15:33.015,0:15:35.132
The girl says, "Here jewelry, there [br]jewelry, piercings and everything…"

0:15:35.132,0:15:36.631
Together, these are 100!

0:15:36.631,0:15:39.832
And then you see the [br]shining eyes in front of you

0:15:39.832,0:15:42.030
while they’re doing so, [br]and you, in contrary…

0:15:42.030,0:15:44.981
(Laughter)

0:15:44.981,0:15:50.847
And the statistics are saying that 98 % of the [br]people sitting here aren’t able to get 100 together.

0:15:50.847,0:15:54.382
As five-year-olds you [br]could do it; 98 % could do it

0:15:54.382,0:15:57.115
and now it’s exactly reversed [br]so the statistics say…

0:15:57.115,0:16:01.881
Thus, the truth comes out and there also is… [br]I believe it was Kurt Tucholsky who said,

0:16:01.881,0:16:08.066
"Look at the children, how cute they are! What [br]a pity that they become adults later in life."

0:16:08.066,0:16:08.782
(Laughter)

0:16:08.782,0:16:12.965
Look, that’s what you are. In the [br]context of CQ, you are nothing.

0:16:12.965,0:16:17.933
"Talent for attraction", that’s what average Germans [br]hate. You are not allowed to do that, you know, [br]to stand out.

0:16:17.933,0:16:24.798
There are some rare exceptions [br]like Paris Hilton and all the consultants.

0:16:24.798,0:16:30.751
Nobody has vitality left. They have to announce [br]nearly everyone a manager who still has a will.

0:16:30.751,0:16:38.451
And step by step, [br]that’s why we’re here.

0:16:38.451,0:16:40.934
This is still the responsibility [br]of the bloggers. (Laughter)

0:16:40.934,0:16:45.201
Well, what I want to do [br]now is to put people up to

0:16:45.201,0:16:47.985
test these six kinds of [br]intelligence with themselves.

0:16:47.985,0:16:50.185
IQ and EQ is already there. At the *Süddeutsche Zeitung* (German daily newspaper).

0:16:50.185,0:16:54.485
Just enter "SZ IQ" or

0:16:54.485,0:16:56.585
"SZ EQ" in the Internet. We also [br]should do this with the others.

0:16:56.585,0:16:59.635
Then we will realize that we are not at all

0:16:59.635,0:17:02.052
prepared for change or for a new world.

0:17:02.052,0:17:07.766
Because the obsessive ones only use [br]their intelligence and nothing else.

0:17:07.766,0:17:19.234
Now I want tell you some rules [br]that I got to drilled into as a child…

0:17:19.234,0:17:21.267
Me, at least. [br][Slide: "Habit-forming"]

0:17:21.267,0:17:27.351
You’ve heard something like [br]"Love must be earned" and so on,

0:17:27.351,0:17:31.284
"Pocket money must stay the same."

0:17:31.284,0:17:33.385
And, "There should be uniformity in the village,

0:17:33.385,0:17:37.183
otherwise one is at disadvantage. An [br]afternoon coffee party has to be held up

0:17:37.183,0:17:40.388
over how much it should be, how [br]long should be TV time", and so on.

0:17:40.388,0:17:46.068
I want to use the last minutes to [br]give you a short demonstration

0:17:46.068,0:17:50.401
on brainwaves…

0:17:50.401,0:17:54.099
That it is already set up in our brain.

0:17:54.099,0:17:55.882
[Slide: "Blocking of alpha-activity"]

0:17:55.882,0:17:59.202
This slide shows a normal EEG test.

0:17:59.202,0:18:03.100
You lay on the couch and think [br]about holiday in Egypt.

0:18:03.100,0:18:05.219
That’s nice.

0:18:05.219,0:18:07.199
Eyes shut, Egypt.

0:18:07.199,0:18:09.818
Then, the doctor comes in [br]and asks the usual question,

0:18:09.818,0:18:14.934
"Now, think of the number 1000.

0:18:14.934,0:18:17.469
Subtract it always with 31 until you reach 0.

0:18:17.469,0:18:19.200
Really fast."

0:18:19.200,0:18:27.867
Well, 1 000, 969, nine hundred… Do you notice [br]something? Your brain says, "I don’t do it now."

0:18:27.867,0:18:35.802
(Laughter) That is what I [br]had in mind with this talk.

0:18:35.802,0:18:37.101
You laughed a few times.

0:18:37.101,0:18:39.153
I got you into the alpha wave mode

0:18:39.153,0:18:40.720
because beta you don’t want.

0:18:40.720,0:18:42.835
Beta is a normal manager meeting.

0:18:42.835,0:18:44.534
(Laughter)

0:18:44.534,0:18:49.054
Take a woman, a beautiful [br]one. Any woman here.

0:18:49.054,0:18:53.248
Take a picture of her when [br]she thinks about Egypt.

0:18:53.248,0:18:54.864
That’s gonna be a great picture.

0:18:54.864,0:18:56.880
And then you say, "Pay attention, [br]I take a picture now."

0:18:56.880,0:18:59.130
Then she’s gonna look [br]ugly on the picture.

0:18:59.130,0:19:02.330
These are beta waves. Like in a meeting.

0:19:02.330,0:19:04.397
(Laughter)

0:19:04.397,0:19:07.331
And that’s it what [br]it actually looks like.

0:19:07.331,0:19:11.031
Now, this is a scheme. When [br]you take a picture for real,

0:19:11.031,0:19:14.482
then it looks like that… [br]But you can see it, right?

0:19:14.482,0:19:16.248
The three phases…

0:19:16.248,0:19:18.780
There are different waves, [br]long, short, and so on.

0:19:18.780,0:19:20.932
Already learned?

0:19:20.932,0:19:23.998
Delta waves you only get [br]when you’re close to death

0:19:23.998,0:19:26.446
or maybe an Indian Guru for a second.

0:19:26.446,0:19:29.096
Theta waves come [br]when you’re meditating.

0:19:29.096,0:19:31.180
Alpha waves are that Think-about-Egypt-thing

0:19:31.180,0:19:32.829
and beta waves are the meeting.

0:19:32.829,0:19:36.329
You can’t read it that well, what a pity.

0:19:36.329,0:19:40.815
On top: the new born. Until 18 months [br]you have delta waves.

0:19:40.815,0:19:42.329
Right?

0:19:42.329,0:19:47.964
Baby, approximately from 18 months [br]to 5.5 years have theta waves,

0:19:47.964,0:19:51.531
which an adult will [br]never get back in his life…

0:19:51.531,0:19:55.131
Until 18 months it has that, [br]then three years theta waves,

0:19:55.131,0:19:58.129
then from age six alpha waves,

0:19:58.129,0:20:00.565
then unfortunately it becomes an adult,

0:20:00.565,0:20:05.864
approximately between [br]15 and 20 years of age.

0:20:05.864,0:20:09.778
Then, in my age, you get alpha waves again.

0:20:09.778,0:20:11.946
Great, right?

0:20:11.946,0:20:13.964
(Laughter)

0:20:13.964,0:20:17.013
Well, beta waves are, "Don’t do that!" "Stop it!"

0:20:17.013,0:20:18.613
"Hold the spoon straight!"

0:20:18.613,0:20:20.530
The usual bringing up.

0:20:20.530,0:20:23.748
When grandchildren are with [br]grandpa who has alpha waves

0:20:23.748,0:20:25.848
and behaves the normal way.

0:20:25.848,0:20:28.930
Then the child says eventually, [br]"With grandpa is better."

0:20:28.930,0:20:31.814
Then the parents say, "You’re not allowed to do [br]that, Grandpa, you have given them chips!"

0:20:31.814,0:20:34.816
And Grandpa says, "I didn’t do anything."

0:20:34.816,0:20:37.198
Look, these are simply different waves.

0:20:37.198,0:20:41.898
Such an old man like me and a [br]child have the same waves, alpha,

0:20:41.898,0:20:44.780
and the evil adults are in between.

0:20:44.780,0:20:47.080
That’s what I’m worried about…

0:20:47.080,0:20:52.530
They try to make a child, which has delta [br]waves, a kind of apocalypse in its brain…

0:20:52.530,0:20:55.548
they try to teach them cleanliness [br]and to sleep in the same rhythm.

0:20:55.548,0:20:57.097
Are you aware of that?

0:20:57.097,0:20:59.214
The question is: Is the child able to do that at all?

0:20:59.214,0:21:00.830
That’s a serious question.

0:21:00.830,0:21:04.364
Is it able to do that at all?

0:21:04.364,0:21:06.698
Then what are you doing with such a child?

0:21:06.698,0:21:09.198
Why do you make a child [br]which has theta waves,

0:21:09.198,0:21:14.181
from 18 months until 6 years of age, [br]learning English vocabulary in kindergarten?

0:21:14.181,0:21:15.316
It is able to do that at all?

0:21:15.316,0:21:18.124
Does it already have a hard disc at all?

0:21:18.124,0:21:20.646
You don’t have to say "species-appropriate keeping"

0:21:20.646,0:21:26.232
when someone… Do you understand? [br]Isn’t it that nearly all the obsessive things

0:21:26.232,0:21:29.464
like organization, behavior, [br]conduct, collaboration, studiousness,

0:21:29.464,0:21:31.998
all the obsessions

0:21:31.998,0:21:36.099
are drilled into a child until [br]it is 18 months of age

0:21:36.099,0:21:38.864
when it had theta waves, [br]was really vulnerable

0:21:38.864,0:21:41.164
and couldn’t say anything against it?

0:21:41.164,0:21:44.247
Don’t you have muddled the Bios of the child

0:21:44.247,0:21:47.631
what Windows 7 later cannot rescue anymore,

0:21:47.631,0:21:53.732
because the Bios was already broken?

0:21:53.732,0:21:56.347
That is then called character.

0:21:56.347,0:21:58.848
He was "deeply characterized" by it.

0:21:58.848,0:22:00.464
German.

0:22:00.464,0:22:02.631
And then you want to have comfort zone future

0:22:02.631,0:22:06.581
and a hysterical one?

0:22:06.581,0:22:08.330
I would warn you.

0:22:08.330,0:22:10.682
Take the slides with you and ask yourselves

0:22:10.682,0:22:12.815
if we’re terribly destroying all the people.

0:22:12.815,0:22:14.531
My clock shows zero.

0:22:14.531,0:22:16.263
I have to stop.

0:22:16.263,0:22:18.280
I have a lot more stuff.

0:22:18.280,0:22:20.448
I am not that old, but 60.

0:22:20.448,0:22:22.198
Approximately.

0:22:22.198,0:22:25.698
Like I already said, what I would wish for would be

0:22:25.698,0:22:29.815
first of all: an upbringing of children [br]in accordance with the brain waves.

0:22:29.815,0:22:32.696
That the people don’t drill [br]all the values into the children,

0:22:32.696,0:22:39.183
in times of EEG. We cannot [br]turn back time,

0:22:39.183,0:22:43.582
that’s we should gradually speak [br]about, a differential upbringing.

0:22:43.613,0:22:46.614
That every child is brought up individually,

0:22:46.614,0:22:49.065
simply as it comes.

0:22:49.065,0:22:52.196
I talked about it a lot, also last year,

0:22:52.196,0:22:54.482
and it is always the same claim

0:22:54.482,0:22:57.615
that I virtually tell you at the [br]end of every talk of mine,

0:22:57.615,0:23:00.882
so long until something is done about it.

0:23:00.882,0:23:03.680
and until finally this uniformity stops.

0:23:03.680,0:23:05.798
This uniformity in general, in the upbringing

0:23:05.798,0:23:08.315
and also in treatment of co-workers has to stop.

0:23:08.315,0:23:09.763
That is all obsessive and that has to change.

0:23:09.763,0:23:11.298
Thank you.

0:23:11.298,0:23:15.298
(Applause)
