It's an uncomfortable idea, isn't it? That the vast majority of us are deluding ourselves into believing that we, as human beings, are - explicitly or implicitly - above others. That we are forced to obey our egos and go day by day trying to inflate our confidence just to stay sane. If only there was a way to break out of these shackles, eh? My name is Hugh Reza Knight. 15, on the cusp of 16. There are a lot of bad and good things about me and everyday I'm trying to convert more and more bad into more and more good, like ploughing a field. I live in Saudi Arabia and soon I'll be moving to Britain, and then who knows? I plan to become a psychiatrist and a novel writer as I grow older, so watch out for any books under my name; I'm actually really excited about my current project... 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
