    I miss the intelligent thought provoking evidence based TED of old not this woke feelings based garbage for woke hippies, from high do they fall 🙄

    • @NataleiFoster

      April 30, 2026 at 12:52 pm

      I forgot being happy is woke.
      But also these ARE based in science. Take a little bit of time to look into it!! It’s been socially studied, it’s really interesting!

    • @TardigradeTough

      ​@NataleiFoster lol you do know to us physicists and to the rest of real science “social science” is a joke? Open to all kinds of biases and agendas it’s a travesty the word “science” has been stolen and misused to make it sound more intellectual than it actually is 😡

    • @woobthepinkbunny8661

      April 30, 2026 at 1:37 pm

      ​@TardigradeTough Have you heard there’s a BIG side of science for “social studies” and psychology?

      Woke as a term is discriminatory to many people and minorities.

      This place is made for Kindness, we shouldn’t leave people out of their possibilities for that.

    • @TardigradeTough

      April 30, 2026 at 1:48 pm

      ​@woobthepinkbunny8661 maybe do better research and read all the comments in this section before just repeating what some other person who thinks social studies is a science wrote? And Im not interested in who gets offended to able to think you have to risk being offensive if you dont like something I wrote move on and go and read something you do like snowflake

    Hi there, David Larbi,
    Thanks for sharing this!
    Listening today, I wondered if you might be familiar with Letters From Love on Substack. I think you might enjoy it! Peace and Wonder!

    I’m waiting to see Depressed people complain about another “choose to be happy” advice.

    This guy is privileged to be good at writing. He can make a good life out of it. Plenty of people do not have that kind of luxury.

    That’s a great 👍 talking, I’ve found joy interacting with ppl as my job request, it’s a simple significant thing that makes your day the best day ever. Also that guy should be a singer, nice voice!

OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger takes us back to the transformative moment he let his AI agent loose on the internet, igniting one of the world’s fastest-growing open-source projects. He makes a fascinating (and slightly unnerving) case that agents are a real shift, not just better versions of chatbots, and explores how they might reshape your ability to work, build and create. “The lobster is loose, and it’s not going back into the tank,” he says.

Conservation: A Love Story | Elsaphan Njora | TED

What if the key to saving nature isn’t just about science or policy, but love? Love for the land, for the people who depend on it, for the world we leave behind. Artist Elsaphan Njora has journeyed across Kenya witnessing ecosystems vanish, from Indigenous forests to sacred lakes. But he’s also seen communities breathing life…

What if the key to saving nature isn’t just about science or policy, but love? Love for the land, for the people who depend on it, for the world we leave behind. Artist Elsaphan Njora has journeyed across Kenya witnessing ecosystems vanish, from Indigenous forests to sacred lakes. But he’s also seen communities breathing life back into rivers, forests and coasts in creative, unexpected ways — showing that conservation can flourish alongside livelihoods, and that even the most threatened landscapes can be reborn. (Recorded at TED Countdown Summit 2025 on June 17, 2025)
