I haven’t watched a TED Talk in a while and I can’t blame the algorithm. The share of great talks has become very small and the structure of the presentations has become tiresome years ago. The surprising fact at the beginning, the hyper-personal storytelling, the guru-minimalism, the emotional appeal at the end… how often can you play that same old song? Surely not 50,000 times.
It’s interesting to think about what TED could be and what it would take to revitalize it. At any other time, I’d have loads of clever ideas to submit, but today science is under attack, many merited people are losing their livelihood and we all will be paying the price. It would just be silly to use this platform in a way that doesn’t address this. Forget the mirage of bi-partisan a-political science and do actual science, which means: speak the truth, which, today, means: speak truth to power.
PS: What’s with the amount of spam comments on here!

Agree and disagree.
– TED isn’t the closed group that it used to be. For me, in 2010-11, it used to feel like sneak peek into a club. Now, the speakers at TED have found other mediums like popular podcasts etc.
– TED talks aren’t as revealing or ‘jaw-dropping’. Information like those are disseminated much faster in shorter formats and seen by audience prior.
– Speaker and content quality did get diluted and maybe TED could have got its own curation correct.
However, algos do decide what you see; not just help you discover your interests. It IS doing behavioural engineering. It’s like someone optimized for your total food consumption rather than your health. TED’s appeal can’t compete with the raw, nasty, rage or passion craving news or other content. Info on platforms is more like tabloid now.
But TED will find a way. TED folks are smart, hardworking and well-meaning. How often do you find this combo?

This is truly the end of TED as a meaningful cultural movement and an intellectual endeavor. I know it’s been a long time coming, but it’s sad to see it whored out to drooling corporations that will disassemble it and use it for influence peddling.

My concern would be that TED would get a billionaire to run it and lose all connection to the average person – we’re already seeing that happen in so many areas. I hope they keep fundraising, politics and managing information separately and maintain what I think the vision is which is to share great ideas

It is time for TED move from presenting opinions to coordinate narrations leading to discovering truth. Not simple confrontation of opinions, half the time for each side, but for a constructive, Dialectical contradictions that lead to concepts or points of view that grasp the world the way it is for particular groups or nature under the opression of other richer groups…
I love you TED but it is time to grow up to force responsibility onto the rich.
1 Invite Elon, Bezos and allow them to present their logic in front of the background that consist of the state of the rich and poor and the consequences of market greed and no social stability under its ever growing wings.
2 Confront decent people with Elon, Bezos on the stage, opening their “books”, as kids at the table with parents.
3 Get shoot from disturbing the powers at the top…

America is currently transitioning into a feudalist technoligarchy. America as we’ve known it, the world as we’ve known it, is over. In the last 3 weeks the US Constitution has become irrelevant after 248 years and no one is talking about it. A foreign national tech billionaire bought access to the entirety of the U.S infrastructure for $280 million ( what we can account for). Media is normalizing it. MAGA is defending it. Billionaires control it. TED has been an infomercial for AI and tech for too long. TED’s future is going to be controlled by the new tech monarchy.

Hmm, I wonder if it’s worth exploring partnership with Cardano trough Swarm network?
You could certainly get finance and recognition if you would directly interact with Treasury, founding entities or Intersect. However I feel like involving community is part of your strategy and our Swarm’s strength is diversity of community leaders we have.
We inspire, empower and connect. Our governance
Structure is chaotic and decentralised, although I think we succeeded implementing emergent governance in Singularitynet communities

I like TED, but the expansion into TEDx made it inaccessible for me and many like me.
Tickets for TEDx events in my city – Sydney, Australia – were expensive. Too expensive for what they were. Especially when speakers were marketers rather than innovators so I was paying to sit through a sales pitch. Not a great experience.
