    Listened and watched this 4 times consecutively… Standing firm on the very same spot, but moving, racing miles, while taking us all along, with Her words, Her facial expressions and waving signaling arms and hands… WHAT A NATURAL AND WONDERFUL POET!!! I’m mesmerized…❤❤❤

    True what one YT said. Beautiful and elloquently stated. The universe hasn’t called me. I’ve called the universe…. with no answer.

    I’d need to be able to be around humans without them hurting me before I could ever do a Ted Talk. I have no problem showing up though. I’ve served.

    This was, by far, the biggest and most non-educational waste of time that TED has ever put out. This presentation belongs in a Starbucks.

    • Lynsey Ricci

      October 15, 2023 at 2:32 pm

      At least you were honest about it going over your head 👏🏼

    • Crusty_Breads

      October 15, 2023 at 3:02 pm

      @Lynsey Ricci lol… if I wanted to hear bad poetry, I’d go look for the Bad Poetry Channel, not a TED talk.

      A reminder what TED is. Technology Education and Design. 🙂

    Does anyone else find poetry agonisingly pretentious and cringeworthy? The stereotypical cadence is like an awful failed drama student who works in a bookstore and pretends to live in a fairytale.

    • Google User

      October 15, 2023 at 12:55 pm

      came here to say the same thing lol this was some TEDx level stuff

    • Dogs With Attitude

      October 22, 2023 at 11:45 pm

      A lot of people that perform poetry just won’t let go of that forced way of saying things and allow themselves to use scripted words with more natural expression.

      I guess they call it slam poetry because you want to slam your head or something into it.

    Thank you for your explicit content. The truth is BTC is the future of crypto and the question most people ask themselves is – if this is right time to invest? I feel those who would allow the market dynamism to determine when to trade or not are either new in this space in general or probably just naive, the sphere have seen far worse times than this, enlightened traders continue to make good use of the dip and pump even acquiring more equities towards trading sessions, I’d say that more emphasis should be put into trading, since it is way profitable than holding. Trading went smooth for me as I was able to raise over 4 BTC when I started at 0.3 BTC in just 2 months of implementing trades with signals and insights from Connor Lockwood , I would advise you all to trade your asset rather than hold for a future you aren’t sure about….
