      I can’t listen to her voice, it’s so grading. Looks like the talk sucks too so lol

    so when you are not called even on a 3rd tier comedy festival, TED has you on speed dial

    so TED is holding open mics now?

    October 19, 2025 at 12:14 pm

    Yeah, TED. You’ve swung too far into humorous talks.
    Pair it with a crucial message and you’ll have us.
    That said, I do like Negin and respect her placement in current culture.

    She talks so bad about her husband…😢

  9. @AnnieB-v8j

    October 19, 2025 at 12:39 pm

    Wincing… Undignified and embarrassing for all involved. Sad for the daughter and husband, as well as the beauty of Persian culture brought to this point. TMI did not support your point, Ms. Farsad.

  10. @GlamGoreChaosQueen

    October 19, 2025 at 12:48 pm

    She had to call someone to get the farsi translation? Not…. Use that phone to Google it in seconds? It’s tiny tidbits like that that immediately call a story’s veracity into question. Is it truth, or is it a plot device for… whatever this is.

    • @sayedmahmoud6396

      October 19, 2025 at 3:42 pm

      I thought of that too. 😂😂

      Yeah and IT will probably make *i am yellow orange of you* Out of IT….

  11. @mkrue149

    October 19, 2025 at 12:52 pm

    She made like three points and all three of them points Americans in wrong direction, Jesus what happened to TED??

  12. @Sosaciety

    October 19, 2025 at 12:55 pm

    Not only is her voice irritating, but the fact that she’s openly disrespecting her husband just goes to show how terrible TED has become promoting degenerate behavior by labeling it as comedy 💀

    My first dislike for a ted talk video, ted fell off

    Clearly TED has lost its way.

  19. @aaryaputra108

    October 19, 2025 at 5:48 pm

    The comedy was crap at best.

    However the TLDR version of this, from what I understood, was that she wants you to understand that….. I don’t know. What was this video? 🤔🤷

  20. @Jeff_Pretzel

    October 19, 2025 at 7:08 pm

    So I just came from a TED talk about habituation and sensitization, for school. Now I know why we only watch videos from 8 years ago🤣🤣

    Can’t believe TED turned down my application to speak on human progress, trade and globalised interconnectedness — for this.

    Such a heartfelt and funny talk! 😂❤ It’s amazing how humor can reveal deep truths about culture, family, and identity. Laughter really does connect us all.

    Don’t believe this is worst ted

    The news in this one was quite entertaining. It is funny how we used to picture robots as stiff and mechanical, yet they are turning out to move in surprisingly smooth ways. It seems that autonomy in both robotics and AI is advancing faster than most of us expected, even though it is still in the early stages. I am excited to see how the discussions continue.

    Can’t understand what, why and how this lady has anything to do with TED.

What do you do when the world declares something impossible? When physician-scientist David Fajgenbaum was dying from a rare disease and social entrepreneur Kiah Williams was confronting the realities of economic hardship, they began asking a different question: What can I do today? In this conversation, they discuss how turning hope into action can drive meaningful change — one step at a time. (This conversation is hosted by The Audacious Project’s Alexandra Tillmann) (Recorded at TEDNext 2025 on November 10, 2025.)

Which Idea Wins Over 4,000 People? | Amman | TED Idea Search

The TED Idea Search wraps up in Amman, Jordan, in a 2,000-year-old Roman amphitheater and in front of a crowd of 4,000. What unfolds inside those stone walls is something the series hasn’t quite seen before: speakers shaped by the weight of living in a region the world tends to define for itself. From a mountaineer who turned grief into motivation to a therapist rewriting the Arab world’s language around mental health, the final city makes the strongest case yet that the best ideas can come from anywhere.

Watch the full talks from the TEDxAmman Idea Search:

00:00 – Intro
3:24 – Rehearsals
16:00 – The Talks
36:28 – Deliberation
38:48 – The Winner Is…

The most interesting ideas often come from the most unexpected places. We searched the globe for ideas with the power to inspire, motivate and change lives — and we found them at @TEDx events around the world. The TED Idea Search follows extraordinary speakers from 9 countries competing for a spot on the TED main stage in Vancouver this April.
