New 2022 TED Talk idea

New TED Talk idea…

Ask five times, “Who’s the most ______ person you know?”

Five themed questions asking about a person you know who embodies the specific question. Every audience member who does this exercise will have five answers, one for each question. In a perfect world their answers are all the same person.

Also in a perfect world, everyone’s answers are the same person, yet simultaneously, everyone’s answer is different.

Yes, this is a mind-bender.

When (if) you figure out the riddle, it will be bold enough to blow your mind.

Racism is a tool

Winston Churchill quote
When anyone tells a lie about someone in order to make money, a crime has been committed. Slavery was invented long before Christopher Columbus sailed to America. Slavery may be the second oldest economic invention, after prostitution.

Last thing i wanted to do (or had time to do) this morning was watch an 18-minute TED Talk.

Something told me to at least listen to the first two minutes. Watched it all. Profoundly insightful. From here to this post’s end are soundbite quotes…

  1. race is not biological, it’s a story some people decided to tell.
  2. people told that story to justify the brutal exploitation of other human beings for profit.

Said another way, racism was invented as a tool to divide us and to prop up economic, political, and social systems that advantage some people and disadvantage others.

Of course, you, like me, don’t have 18 minutes to watch this. Ok then, just watch the first two minutes of this video…

Huge milestone, just another day

Screen shot from TED Talk.

Huge milestone, yet just another day.

What?

A published TED Talk means nothing if people don’t see it.

That said, the people who want to see it can view it at their leisure.

This is good.

Go The Extra Inch TEDX Talk

TEDx Talk, Why Going The Extra Mile Is A Flawed Concept, and What To Do Instead.

TEDx uploaded all 10 speeches last night, just in time for Independence Day.

Karma?

Being organized helps because you never know when you’ll have to address something on a moment’s notice.

The first two minutes of my speech are an energizer that was absolutely not part of my speech. Somehow it was left in.

This morning begins the process of correcting this.

Most popular TED Talks of all time

Play the lottery? Not a chance.

Most popular TED Talks of all time are available here.

No delusions that my upcoming TEDx Talk from Kuwait will make the list.

And yet, it could happen.

Just like playing the lottery.

Odds are higher that we’ll die in a plane crash, yet we buy lottery tickets.

Weird ain’t it?
