I used to really enjoy TED talks but now there’s too many activists pushing their agendas on there. A real fall from grace!

At ted, what we’ve discovered we don’t have to pay our contributors and people will let us get away with it. It’s time for you to pay your contributors both online and at conferences. Time to show some respect.

TED has continually declined in quality and credibility. A friend and I commented recently that the stars on the hollywood walk of fame have lost their significance because they are now awarded to anyone, even relative newcomers and lesser known artists. TED’s deterioratiion feels similar, as anyone is now permitted to spew their ideas, regardless of the depth of their expertise, research or qualifications. Enshittification has become ubiquitous.

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

Published

15 hours ago

April 9, 2026

CYBER TECH TV

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.
