In this thread we post our favourite TED talks

[url=http://www.ted.com/talks]1400+ talks[/url]. They can be highly educational and inspirational, but as talks range from ~5-20 minutes, you are looking at well over 250 hours of content. Let's make that a little more manageable. If you have any talks that you passionately feel are ideas worth spreading please post them (giving a little explanation as to why would also be nice).

    This talk is very moving. The appended article is good too.

  • Sarah Silverman, as I mentioned. Silly, but still capable of making you think.

    • It's multiple TED talks, but what this guy (melodysheep) does with them (and other TED talks, as well as various sources) is amazing. The "Ode to the Brain" is what leapt to mind first (pardon the pun). If I had to pick one? I really appreciate what Sarah Silverman did. It was light hearted, silly, and yet even thoughtful and thought-encouraging.

      I absolutely loathed Apple's marketing campaigns, [url=http://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_how_great_leaders_inspire_action.html]until someone explained to me why they work. Along with a great deal more about how to motivate others to act.[/url]

    • Stop assuming we know what TED stands for.

        I'll start by sharing [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyyjU8fzEYU]How it feels to have a stroke[/url]. I read about transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a method of magnetically deadening parts of the left brain. When this is done savant like qualities can be induced in normal individuals. The idea of one brain inhibiting the other fascinated me, and I wanted to know more about the functions of each brain. The talk provides excellent insight in to our right side, by a person who had a stroke that almost entirely disabled their left.
