I stand between both. A real divine androgynous mercurial Hermes myself. I’ll never ever change.
My ideal gender identity is Ranma backwards but I’m a girl. A woman.
Why? Because women subsume themselves under men far too often and men do little to protect women in society when it really matters. Thanks for your piece of art ❤

Oh yeah because that’s all we need in today’s society: maximalism.

People should find this the most terrifying. He’s talking about Marxism. Millions upon millions have died in the name of Marxism through history.
They won’t rest till all “cis” people are eradicated. If you think you are exempt because you support them, think again. They want a utopia where only trans exist. As he said “his higher self, something other”. If anything they will enslave you. It might not be here now, but it’s not far away. Don’t believe me, just research all Marxist countries in history.
He used key words such as “German, civil war, death, slavery, post revolutionary, post-apocalyptic, gospel, and much much more. Just go back and listen. If you want to know someone’s true intentions just listen to the words and phrases they use.

Wow, look at all those terrible words/phrases you quoted! Now if I remove all context, like you did to the speaker, you support all those terrible things! Wow, you’re such a “””Marxist”””.
Also trans rights are human rights; wanting to control trans people is abusive and amoral. There are good and bad individuals and behaviors; stop being such an ideologue✌

Ah yes, all those books Republicans banned, child labor laws they are removing, and the American classic of continuing child (straight) marriages, has everything to do with queer people 🙃
Non-queer people don’t control most of society, just a statistical fact. If queer people controlled medicine they’d make transitioning free, (maybe like Canada) but people struggle to afford it. Stop listening to culture war BS and falling for “every queer’s after your kids” nonsense; A they generally aren’t, B you’ve been distracted from provable harm because of myopic assumptions about LITERALLY ALL queer people.

To those of you arguing that TED is “too woke now”: TED has been hosting LGBT speakers on social issues relevant to the times for over a decade. They’ve been hosting speakers on “woke” issues longer than most of your accounts have existed on YouTube. If you think TED is “too woke” now, that’s because you’ve changed. TED has stayed consistent on hosting these speakers over the years — you just didn’t care much before a bunch of conservative politicians and media figures started using “anti-woke” as a tool to advance their own interests by dividing us.
Agree or disagree with Machine Dazzle’s opinions all you want, but come on, show some basic decency and respect. Don’t be some mindless drone who’s drip-fed hateful nonsense and regurgitates it throughout the world. You’re all better than that.

Maximalism isn’t the opposite of minimalism. This is about a type of art, not hedonistic capitalism

@Internet Hobo Good to know, not native english, must say tho, the need some people have for expression/identifying with clothes, art, decoration..etc is a creation of consumer culture.

@Estudio Personal Fair that it lost your interest: attention spans are weird and taste is subjective 😅
Video titles/headlines can lead anyone to assume, and maybe they chose the word “maximalism” partially because it sounds shocking to promote. Parts of his clothes are recycled and he uses art to show history too 🤷♂🤷♂

I do enjoy hearing how he conceptualizes things. What I get from this is that everyone has an opinion on how we live and perceive things in our own personal lives. Just because the contrary is what works for you doesn’t mean it works for everyone; we are all at the mercy of the general consciousness but it is on to deviate from that. Everything has become so black and white and sometimes we forget that humans are complex and multi layered beings, and putting each other in a box and ostracizing what doesn’t fit I your box is being blind to how dynamic human existence is.

Why are so many people censored on TED Talks? I’ve seen some talks posted in other YT channels that were originally recorded as TED Talks, but they were not permitted to be posted on the TED or TEDx channels. One talk seemed to be a legitimately questionable talk, that I could see why it was removed. But not so of the other talks. It seems that TED/TEDx will allow all sorts of wildly speculative talks that are thought provoking, so I don’t see the reason why so many of these were removed or banned. I thought that TED was about ideas. Sadly, it seems that they are basing their decisions too often on politics or character assassinations as purveyed by wide swaths of the media. That’s a very sad commentary on this channel – a channel that was about ideas, ideas that provoked thought and discussion.
