People tell things to Google that they don't tell anyone else. Seth talks about what he learned about topics such as suicide, racism, and anti-Muslim attitudes, by analysing our everyday online searches. A Harvard-trained economist, former data analyst at Google and New York Times writer, Seth Stephens-Davidowitz has devoted the past four years to perusing anonymous Google search histories, Facebook posts and other digital platforms. By delving into the deepest recesses of this big-data goldmine, Seth's bestselling book ‘Everybody Lies’ offers groundbreaking insight into the anxieties, desires and prejudices which lurk in the deepest recesses of the human psyche. 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
