No nos subestimen, dejennos ser niños | Santiago Curtit | TEDxLaPlata


[Music]
hi my name is santigua curtis I have 12
years and I’m sure most of
you will be doing the same
ask what I do but good
let me tell you I’m sure that
all went through that stage which is the
childhood that is where I am now
with which I’m going good I do not know
but although soon the two will come
stages
I think girls are or were all of me
I’m in the one in which adults
They say you ‘re too young for some
things and in the five minutes they tell you no
you realize that this is great for
do this a little while ago they made us
fly the imagination with stories
fantastic and suddenly you grow up and you
they make everything think like a multiple
choice or worse as true or false
true false true or false
but as the world and life are
full of questions a few weirder than
others I’m going to make a couple who
from here they once believed in Santa Claus
raise your hand
and in the wise men
and the pérez mouse
you can lower your hands
and now I ask you who currently
they still believe in them
the answer of many good but there
many others by themselves and did not dare to
raise your hand out of shame
As a friend happened to him, they called him immature
childish you are already big enough to believe
in those things and I wonder why
then I started to think and I was
some possible answers occurred
as for using the imagination for thinking
too much to use creativity for
think about things that do not exist there or
simply for not thinking as an adult
but I realized that supposedly the
adults think adults too
they believe in things that do not exist there and
that for other adults the things that
believe that adult do not exist as they can
be the gods of religions
then I kept thinking that that should
have to do with creativity with the
imagination with which we tend to the world
since most adults do not use them
or they think they do not need them I want them
tell me if you ever saw any
adult or adult playing what you have to
defeat a record
since it is a
wow what is one that is defeating a
dragon just because he wants
then sometimes the guys we
considers immature or infantile
simply for not thinking like one already
that adults do not believe in these things
there was only one or two with the hand
but we are not adults we are
Boys
for example if an adult believes in some
religion is already a rare religion the most
normal life is supposed to one should
be educated and respect him and that when
one is well educated should not go and
kill yourself laughing in the face of a
religious while doing their rituals
weird but because if when a boy
he says he believes in santa claus in my opinion
it’s simply because he ‘s a boy because if
there is a religious child all respect
and I do not think it’s because I ‘m a child in my
opinion is simply to believe in something
in what adults believe
I also started thinking about other
situations that we
guys we considered less or
inferiors I remembered a channel
youtube that does what is called pro my
life that is to draw your life while
tell your life while you draw it in
a blackboard but those on this channel do not
they drew their life
drew in the life of famous accounts
horror stories mythology books
monsters etcetera found a video that
it was a compilation of stories of
Japanese terror that they had already
told in other videos and in one of those
stories told that there was a spirit
of a lady who only attacked the
children because they are easier to cheat
and then of course I stayed like from
when in any case you adults
they make us easier to fool
for example if a paper is adult you
did the son look that he appeared on
dragon peluffo does not mean that the
boy be silly and do not know that that’s a
lamp and in case you do not know it and think
really that that’s a big has not
nothing bad because at least you’re
having fun the boys are not the
We are not adults we are boys and
that the weight is not easy to understand is
true that out there a primary school
he does not know something that an adult does know but
that does not make it less intelligent and not
it means that I can not know because
in my opinion the few differences
between an adult and a boy are the physical
the natural changes the physical the
changes capabilities or strength
but I said good to see in what other
moments we can be deceived and I
I realized that not only families or
schools can cheat us or do
believe believe things that are not but that
as well
the cinema the internet the tele etcetera and
that was the moment I remembered
of the stork
the famous stork
the truth I never met anyone that their
dads told them that babies
children will be brought by their owner but if
friends who wanted it on TV or by
see many movies call the stork
lie to me I do not like to call it that
I prefer to call the truth or true
disguised or is it disguised to
hide something has a reason to be
Now when I’m phrase believe
it truly ceases to be a disguise and
the stork becomes true but
why because they make us believe this is
how to call us unable to know the
true and I’m not saying that the
stork be bad I’m asking for
what is considered good
later when we grow we are told that
the boys do with love and with love what
same as with the stork to see when it
do the children are supposed to be love
but if we ask for the truth we want the
they tell us about the stork of love
what is the part that do not want us
tell
one
at least the wise men and father santa
they pass for fun moments but
the stork
good moving on to another topic though
rather more serious has to do with the
violence, poverty or injustice
that are also part of reality
I do not think it’s good that for example
in a game or in a book there is too much
violence but let’s think what would happen if
the boys do not know that the violence
there is indeed no boys
violent but I do not know if it would be more
dangerous for us because the
adults who does know violence is
they would take advantage of our innocence and not
I say it because now it does not happen
so what I want to say is that no
I was good with guys it’s not even
a little bit violent but imagine if
he does not know anything about the things that
currently basically only pass
I would be moving away from reality and
reality is far from perfect and the
only way to change it is understanding
the and learning the
and good doing what adults
come doing reality is like
it would not be good to use more the
imagination and creativity to
change it
[Applause]
besides the world also belongs to us
the boys discover me and improve it is
a task that also belongs to us
leave us outside thank you very much
[Applause]
