    Just sad to see what was once a credible source of scientific progress has turned into whatever this is.

      Some people do an excellent job of gaslighting themselves and make melodramatic sweeping judgements

      – TED has always the E in it
      – They are no less credible than before
      – They are just as concerned about science
      – Modern music is a good thing to have

      If these 2 songs ruined TED science for you, you probably don’t think much of science. It’s a sad reaction to see people so offended by art that somehow everything else is bad now by association. It’s just really ignorant and tribal 😓

      @Internet HoboNo, not all science is credible, there is a scientific method, and their is pop culture science. TED hasnt always been highlighting more of the pop culture side of science, but it has increasingly. Not legitimate scientific inquiries, but doctored studies pushing an ideological agenda. Then to see this type of bs platformed by then, they have been damaging their own credibility amongst the masses for some time now. People on an ideological lean that TED reinforces are the majority of the fans I see.

    Wow….. the downfall of TED….. is this Tech? Education? Design? 
    Jeeeeeeeez

    • Internet Hobo

      August 14, 2023 at 12:15 pm

      You think education and *entertainment* are the same thing?
      Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeez 😅

      The E in TED is actually Entertainment. But it fails that as well, unless you mute the sound and perhaps the visuals become a bit more entertaining.

    • Tadpole

      August 14, 2023 at 2:13 pm

      apologies, yes your correct, i was just winging it lol. And you made me chuckle, thanks; it really isnt very good for me just for visuals either! lmfao ….@Maxine Downs

    The lack luster musical expertise belongs in a low-end dive.whos paid this favor forward?

    Not my kind music or fashion but I’m happy they are able to creatively express themselves on this platform

  14. Nanna Ogashawarma

    August 14, 2023 at 2:57 pm

    Is this part of the actual lectures?

    I gotta attend one now. Lessons + concert, two birds with one stone lol

    Edit: lmao some of the comments are being stupid. To clarify: TED was always woke, like Rage Against the Machine, if that’s your complaint

  15. Cynical Optimist

    August 14, 2023 at 4:05 pm

    Ah yes, an accurate representation of America’s most recent iteration in academia. And here I thought minstrel shows where a thing of the past. Viewership must be taking a hit.

    Maybe don’t do this again Ted

    All you grumpy people in the comments do realize exactly this type of music has been around since the 70’s, right? 😀 Y’all are freaking out like this is some new stuff, come onnn. Also, might want to look up what the E in TED stands for and chill out 😛

  18. Matt

    WTF happened to TED? It used to be worth watching…

    August 14, 2023 at 6:00 pm

    Damn I even gave it an honest try. Literally everything was mediocre, the singing, dancing, composition. I like the outfits though.

    Great that TED show segments like this as well – so it’s not just the people attending who get the full show!
    Been quite disappointed in the past when I knew for sure an artist had performed at a TED event, but it wasn’t uploaded to either YouTube or on the webpage…
