      I bet you have big regrets and that you are lashing out against him because of your own inner hate toward yourself. 🥀

    Hmmm….not entirely sure how I feel about this. The message is a good one (re: making positive change), but the constant use of the word “accidental” sounds like minimization.

    Or perhaps I’m reading something that’s not there.

    I’ll have to ponder this more.

    Either way, thanks for sharing this.

      So what is it if it’s not an accident? That’s what accident means: you don’t mean to do it. Smh

    Most unintentional killing comes from irresponsibility. That doesn’t mean innocence. Also ask Matthew Broderick how much guilt he felt for killing 2 in a car accident.

    Very personal and vulnerable talk. Not everyone will agree with the message, and that’s okay.

    Regrets? I’ve had quite a few!!! In every aspect of my life.

    This was so vulnerable. I didn’t expect him to fight tears like that. I respect and appreciaqte the openness of admitting what happened, how it’s shaped him, and how it continues to shape him still.

    Definitely on the path to redemption.. it’s not always clear why these things happen, but we must take responsibility for our actions. All compassion to you. 💙💜💙

    Sir, your high school sweetheart would not have wanted you to beat yourself up about it the rest of your life. She loved you and she would have wanted the best for you. Always.

    Please tell James Simons:

    Unintentionally.. but you knew you need to pay attention to the road.. you didn’t have the discipline to act responsible over impulsive. And the talk doesn’t address that.

If you ate bread this week (or cooked with salt and oil), you probably benefited from something millions miss out on: food fortification. Social entrepreneur Felix Brooks-church is on a mission to solve “hidden hunger” — malnutrition caused by a lack of nutrients — by fortifying everyday foods for regions of the world hit hardest by food insecurity. Laying out a pragmatic vision to improve food systems globally, he reminds us that hunger doesn’t always look like an empty plate. (Recorded at TED2026 on April 14, 2026)
