How music can future proof your brain | Neil Moore | TEDxJacksonville

Over the next decade we will witness the arrival of a technological tsunami that will transform life on earth and redefine what it means to be a human being. Given the world that we're heading into, it's essential for us to consider that the critical currency and personal attribute of the future will be creativity. Quite simply, humanity needs to think more creatively than ever before. By providing the brain with the critical neurological nutrition of musicianship, music educator Neil Moore believes we can discover and reconnect to our innate creative capability and prepare ourselves for the complex and challenging future we face.

When he's talking and clicking the walking beat, it's like, yeah this guy had been playing music his whole life. He's probably not even a drummer, but he's got so much feel.

[ThaoNguyen]

Music as a tool for brain health and creativity? Sign me up! This talk was eye-opening.

[vajragem]

I don't think I'd still be here if it weren't for music. It's something that makes me feel connected to something beyond myself and some of the bands I listen to have really gotten me through some of the toughest times of my life, just knowing someone else has felt the same things

[blanchebosdet]

I just thought parents were pushy about getting their kids to learn instruments because it gives them an extra hobby but the fact that it does so much for your brain makes it so much more worthwhile for them!

[IAmShootCute]

His explanation of the corpus callosum as the "Creativity Control Center" was really cool. Never knew music could physically change our brains like that.

[gog-gog]

His vision of our future with life on Mars and flying cars, virtual reality and AI blew me away.

[dizzeedean]

I would consider myself a musican, but I was pretty blown away how easily he showed that it's in all of us. Bravo!

[graciasandlove]

Was so grateful to hear him say you don't need to start young to learn music. I know so many people who use that as an excuse!

[UrbanPotatoe]

Personally I'm convinced music is like the building blocks of reality. Like there's a hum to the universe that we should be trying to tune in to

[BroadMarginGirl]

That bear thigh bone flute is incredible. I don't know why but it makes sense to me that we had music before we even had words

[alanpotsypotts]

After listening to the many benefits of being musical I feel every child should be exposed to this valuable skill.

[colincampbell]

It's amazing to think that humans were playing music before we even had language! Kinda flips the script in terms of thinking about what our priorities were as we developed

[thelamrirachid]

his story about people saying they don't have a musical bone in their body (while speaking in a musical way) cracked me up 😂 We really don't know our own musicality!

[coopertubner]

love how the speaker debunks the myth that some people just aren't musical. we all have it in us.

[cooltidbits]

I think he made such an important point that EVERYONE is profoundly musical, without exception. We gotta shed the belief that only some people are musical. It's simply not true!

[magnuskarlsonn]

The emphasis on creativity dominating the future hits home. Can't help but wonder if traditional approaches to education are keeping up with this changing landscape

[thesteeltitan]

I can't shake the idea of flying cars and colonizing Mars, but connecting it to music and creativity? Mind officially blown.

[jacksonthemanoliver]

The flute made from a cave bear's thigh bone blew my mind! Music really is in our DNA.

[busterbeansishere]

"Music is the language of the soul" I forget who said that lol but it's always resonated with me

[raulcassanova]

Einstein playing piano throughout his life and attributing intuition to it is an amazing insight! I love Einstein and I never heard that before
