Drawing on wisdom from Aristotle to astronauts, they discuss what humans inherently owe each other, what it takes to live a good life and what a rulebook for a better world might look like.

    Why can’t a cancer cure be found IN Gravity?
    Spend the money down here.
    Billions are spent on space “stuff” & I’m not convinced we are getting value for money.

      I know right?
      “Fund space exploration and we’ll find a cure for cancer.” Is a crazy take.

      Don’t get me wrong, I love most the space stuff we’ve done and are doing. But I can’t argue against the fact that the money used could have gone to something more immediately helpful and down to Earth.

    Put the ****ing data centers in space and cool them with the cold of the vacuum instead of letting it steal our water & ruin our sleep

      The Vacuum of space won’t cool anything. In a Vacuum the heat being produced from an object has no where to go. Because there isn’t anything for that heat to transfer too. So a data center will just get hotter and hotter if left in a Vacuum without a way to radiate the heat away from the electronics.
      Data centers in space is a really dumb idea, and an even larger waste of money.

    I often tell people that if we want to see our companies value humanity as a whole, we collectively need to invest into our companies so that we have a say in how they act. We need to shift ourselves from being a consumer economy to being an investor economy. Only then can we collectively steer our companies into doing what is good for humanity.

      @ThomasGrand89 So we have billionaires that use our money for their own purposes aka Elon Musky, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and of course, Google. I don’t think there use some money aligns with the rest of the country.

      @richardoake2304 if you spend your money to purchase goods through Amazon, they will use your money, as well. The difference is when you are an investor, you literally get a vote.

    When I here you going up in pitch at the end of your sentences makes you seem that you don’t trust what your saying is true.

Activist Leopoldo López learned the true value of freedom in a solitary confinement cell, when someone else decided if he would eat or see sunlight. In this searching conversation, he explains why democracy is losing ground across the globe, the state of Venezuela’s transition after Maduro’s capture and the 2026 earthquakes — and why he founded the World Liberty Congress to unite activists in the fight against autocracies. (This conversation, hosted by TED’s Whitney Pennington Rogers, was part of an exclusive TED Membership event.
