BS’ing (communicating with little to no regard for truth, established knowledge, or evidence) is a major problem polluting our communicative climate. Based on empirical research, John Petrocelli discusses the consequences of BS and how understanding its causes sheds light on detection of this pollutant in our interpersonal atmosphere. John proposes that people begin to reduce BS by calling BS more often and applying five basic rules for dealing with BS. John V. Petrocelli is currently the Scott Family Faculty Associate Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychology at Wake Forest University. He is an experimental social psychologist with a Ph.D. from Indiana University, Bloomington; he obtained his undergraduate degree from Westminster College in New Wilmington, PA. Petrocelli has taught social psychology, statistics, and judgment and decision making courses at Wake Forest University since 2007, where he also serves as Chairperson of the university’s Institutional Review Board. Petrocelli has authored or coauthored over 50 scholarly articles and book chapters in the areas of social cognition and judgment and decision making. His primary research interests and contributions are in the areas of BS’ing, counterfactual thinking, metacognition, attitude strength and persuasion. Petrocelli also serves as an Associate Editor for the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin. 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

Esto no me sirve por yo no se inglés
every video they make is another lesson for us to take ….
This is… just awesome… im not talking about this talk… im talking about the fact that youtube is showing me a frame of an anime instead of the ted talk xD its so weird to hear the guy and see the anime.
That laugh is my spirit guide 1:06
Very crude speaker!!!!! I'm outta here!!! I won't listen to more of this!!!
Oh my God I wish I can get someone to make me his or her worker I'm suffering
At first I thought that this was Elliot from Law and Order SVU ?
This Talk Is An Absolute BS!!! LOL
Love it ??????
Olá de uma forma obrigada por tanto
Listen closely to peoples words. Not everything you hear is the truth.
People appear to conflate facts with truth.
This is awsome
I don't understand why the audience is laughing all the time.
A suggestion to the speaker: as a woman I would love it if you could say 'he or she' or 'they' instead of he. Men are not default people on this planet.
Was this video BS??.????
Truth ?
I'm NOT a prude or a Bible-thumper; but there is an appropriate time and/or place for that sort of language. Using the full phrase once at the very start of his talk just to make his point in a very emphatic way (may) have been acceptable, but to continue using it just for the snickers that (he knew he would get) was trite and served no further purpose other than detract from the message he was attempting to send!!!
Using the appropriate two initials would have been sufficient!
That is not something that I would expect to hear from a TED speaker. My appreciation of TED just dropped quite a bit.
gets interesting from about 6m20s. also good to think about the media while he describes bs – how propaganda works.
You must be talking about the Democratic

So basically… leftists, SJW's, mainstream media, academia, climate change ideologues, and deep state bureaucrats who depend on a political business model of societal dysfunction, to keep their cushy jobs and pensions, while throwing the rest of society and especially the youth, under the bus.
Easy to understand all without traductor. So it's a good video
this is pretty bs
Why are there people laughing everytime he says BS? Thats so annoying and cringy

America is full of .bs. land of the free, the rights to bare arms, innocent untill proving guilty, freedom of speech etc
That’s the Truth!♥️✌️
Great job on this talk! Understanding the cognitive biases that affect our ability to have honest, productive, or realistic communications with one another is so important, and understanding the essence of what of constitutes BS (scientifically) is just one component of that. I've never thought about BS in this way before, or the difference between BS and lying. Would love to see more published work on this topic.
Thanks a lot that is very interesting
First thing that came to mine or Product salesman been marketing firms.
??
To sum up, we live in a bubble of lies.
Proud to say that I went to college (Westminster College, New Wilmington, PA) with this guy. People who know, know Petro!
love the shirt!
Fantastic talk!
It's all about story. Once humans organize beliefs into a story, it's next to impossible to dislodge them. It's biological destiny. Good luck, sir. I wish you well.
Just love so many speakers who challenge and give wonderful ideas to help us on on journey.Everything is relevant to the journey and so we must embrace all energies to truly understand the connection within.
awesome proud of my brother in law ??
