TED offers a lot of great lectures. So I thought about making a collection-thread where you could make some comments about lectures you liked, that are good.

The Real Crisis? We Stopped Being Wise

IMHO a really great lecture, for me an important part of what human coexistence means.

A surprising parable of foie gras

Indeed, very surprising and insightful.

I also liked "Do schools kill creativity" but there is a thread about it already.

Space, you probably meant this one:

My Stroke of Insight

Yes, but I meant the topic on the forum ;)
Ohw well, good you posted that link, I think it's one of the best.
Very insightful

Mara a dit:
I also love the personality of this guy: Clifford Stoll
That guy is all over the place :mrgreen:

restin a dit:
I like his point of view, also in a drug-related kind of way :D
The age of prohibition has to go at some point

A little perspective .

If i had that much money it would about double my yearly income = 3600 euros . Looks like a few good talks though .
 
Oh. I overlooked and didn't think they would be so elitist. Bad luck

Seth Godin - Why tribes, not money or factories, will change the world

Seth Godin argues the Internet has ended mass marketing and revived a human social unit from the distant past: tribes. Founded on shared ideas and values, tribes give ordinary people the power to lead and make big change. He urges us to do so.
Good video. I somehow imagined it a bit different...but good idea, it is a bit similar of what we talked about recently in some politics topic.

Woody Norris; Sound focussing technology
Amazing technology to transfer sound to the ear without disturbing others.
Amazing indeed...I somehow always get some 1984-ish visions when I see such new technologies popping out...but that's just me :)

Thanks, very interesting.

"We live in this weird time, this kind of Age of Prohibitions, in many areas of our life we live our life constantly against the law. Ordinary people live life against the law. And that's what we're doing to our kids. They live life knowing they live it against the law. That realization is extraordinarily corrosive, extraordinarily corrupting."
 
ok, i watched them all.

gimme more!!!
 
you'z guyz' just introduced me to my next few days of entertainment :)

*humbly bows*
 
Clay Shirky: How cellphones, Twitter, Facebook can make history

About this talk

While news from Iran streams to the world, Clay Shirky shows how Facebook, Twitter and TXTs help citizens in repressive regimes to report on real news, bypassing censors (however briefly). The end of top-down control of news is changing the nature of politics.

About Clay Shirky

Shirky, a prescient voice on the Internet’s effects, argues that emerging technologies enabling loose collaboration will change the way our society works.
