Explore the pervasive influence of superstitions in our daily lives through this thought-provoking TEDx talk by 16-year-old Nisakorn Thongparn. Delve into the question of whether these widely-held beliefs are truly as 'super' as their name suggests. Discover how a seemingly reserved teenager challenges common perceptions through her passion for various art forms, including public speaking. Gain insights into the speaker's personal journey and her eagerness to share her thoughts, which led her to the TEDx stage instead of waiting for her planned podcast in her 60s. Examine the impact of superstitions on society and individual behavior, and consider the reasons behind their persistence despite being known as irrational beliefs. This independently organized TEDx event, following the TED conference format, offers a unique perspective on a topic that touches every corner of our lives.
