Yeah but that’s outside of the TED talk itself. I mean there’s no doubt that many of the speakers are remarkable people. But TED didn’t make them that way. I’d argue that TED actually diminishes their message by adding barriers that force them to skip over information that may be critical to understanding it.
That is a very interesting question. In my view, TED is an opportunity platform that carries all sorts of intangible benefits, but even if you were to concede that, it’s still a good question whether the benefits outweigh the costs.
You bring up how the barriers force them to skip over information, but I think that’s a feature of the format, not a glitch. Tailoring a message for mass consumption is awful if your goal is to educate, but there are other objectives like simple topical awareness that would easily find barriers if you DIDN’T skip over information that may be critical to understand it.
Your thoughts?
White Claw is manly and good.

I still feel like we’re a dog to ever see the cyber truck on the road - at least in anything like that form.
The tunnel-thing was a complete fraud.

The irony of Scottish people talking about quality cuisine is way more delicious than their traditional meal of sheep entrails to go with a bottle of Buckfast to forget where they live.

Live in France, would be delighted if they did more brown sauce. Don’t really see Daddies or HP here.

Funny how the only people I’ve ever heard complain about French food are from the UK.
