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.

News Tells You What Happened. Drawing Shows You How It Felt | George Butler | TED

What does a war look like when you sit still long enough to draw it? Reportage artist and TED Fellow George Butler sketches the people that the news passes by: a 99-year-old survivor of the Holodomor famine in Ukraine, a man gathering books blasted into a rose garden, an architect whose home was hit by…

What does a war look like when you sit still long enough to draw it? Reportage artist and TED Fellow George Butler sketches the people that the news passes by: a 99-year-old survivor of the Holodomor famine in Ukraine, a man gathering books blasted into a rose garden, an architect whose home was hit by a Russian missile. Urging us to slow down in the age of immediate news, Butler shows how a drawing reveals what a headline can’t. (Recorded at TED2026 on April 16, 2026)

Why are we so obsessed with productivity? Horticulturist Rebecca McMackin (who wants people to let their lawns grow wild) and author Catherine Price (who wrote a book about the power of fun) come together to discuss the relief of giving up control. From growing milkweed to taking up unproductive hobbies, they dig into the benefits of rest and why doing something for its own sake shouldn’t need defending at all. (This conversation is part of “TED Intersections,” a series featuring thought-provoking conversations between experts navigating the ideas shaping our world.)
