Why TED Is a Massive, Money-Soaked Orgy of Self-Congratulatory Futurism

Join our email list: Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email. There was a bit of a scandal last week when it was reported that a TED Talk on income equality had been censored. The talk seemed reasonably well-received by the audience, but TED “curator” Chris Anderson told Hanauer that it would not be featured on TED’s site, in part because the audience response was mixed but also because it was too political and this was an “election year.” Hanauer had his PR people go to the press immediately and accused TED of censorship, which is obnoxious — TED didn’t have to host his talk, obviously, and his talk was not hugely revelatory for anyone familiar with recent writings on income inequity from a variety of experts — but Anderson’s responses were still a good distillation of TED’s ideology.

Fuck… Si je fumais, je pourrais tirer sur ma cigarette, prendre un air inspiré, cracher la fumée et annoncer que le thème de ce billet sera les films qui vous donnent envie de franchir la barrière de la sanité et de devenir un sociopathe.

TeachingwithTED

It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader. TEDTalks began as a simple attempt to share what happens at TED with the world. Under the moniker “ideas worth spreading,” talks were released online. They rapidly attracted a global audience in the millions. The intent of this project wiki is to address: How can the TED talks be used as springboards for further discourse, exploration, reflection, and action? The wiki was initiated independently of TED by Jackie Gerstein, but the TED team in New York know about it and are excited by its potential. The individual pages (see sidebar) not only contain the original TED talks, but also additional references, resources, and activities about the topic and/or speaker. Why study TED?

Ideas y cerebros se citan en TED 2012

Y ellas no hacen equilibrismos sobre un tacón ni lucen tres capas de maquillaje. Abundan los vaqueros, las camisetas, las zapatillas de deporte y las botas planas. Al fin y al cabo, esto es Long Beach, California, y el aire desenfadado y natural, en contraste con el elegante pero estirado Nueva York, se deja sentir en cuanto bajas del avión y ves sonreír incluso a los taxistas. Pero es que los privilegiados que han pagado 7500 dólares por asistir como público a la mítica TED Conference, que hoy arranca en el Performing Arts Center de Long Beach, se cuidan mucho de no desentonar estéticamente con los conceptos de innovación, imaginación y atrevimiento que planean sobre este encuentro anual con casi 30 años de historia.
