In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Dang. I'm only at #8 and Stephan has just described our last 2 years.

Now I know where the screenplay for UP came from. I am glad I am 82 but fear for the world to come for my sons and grand kids. Great, informative talk.

Who's watching this during the corona virus?

when this goes from a possible disaster list to a checklist.

Ah, finally something on YouTube relaxing and easy to watch.

I love his approach to how something went negative for him, don't hide from it, talk about it and challenge it, it's great

This hits different in 2020.

It's wild that this was uploaded 8 years ago. It's scary how accurate a lot of his predictions are regarding a world wide pandemic.

Here in 2022, this feels like he was too optimistic.

2014: "Pandemic? This isn't a movie. It'll never happen." 2020: "Pandemic! This is like a movie! I can believe this is happening!"

2020: Nice ideas lets put them to the test

let's enjoy the time we have left and be kind to each other.

When the first thing he describes is basically the corona virus.... Uhhhh. *sweating

He's basically stating how life is going to be from 2020 onward...

He predicted the corona, and it's place of origin!
