    Once TED became the laughing stock for their coddling interviews of Elon Musk they competed the pivot into obscurity with this pile. What’s next? how to apply purple eye-shadow while high on crack?

    When a science platform first goes woke (and oh boy did it go woke!) and then forgets what made it great. The music is not bad but I’m into science, not this. UNSUBSCRIBE

    *Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you’ll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.*

    Leftist craziness which destroys Families and relationships. Poor Men, poor Society… Pure debauchery and decadence, what’s worshipped today… We’re going DOWN!!! 😔

    Isn’t the E about entertainment? A talk by an artist is meant to inspire. Never her this woman before – interesting

    I understand your scientific needs aren’t met with this.. however this was everything to me. I needed this and found a lot of inspiration from watching listening and feeling.

    Whoa, this comment section is toxic. What a pathetic level of pretentiousness people have sometimes.

    Wow! Needed to hear this today. Thank you for sharing your story, your voice, your rally cry for us all. You are definitely an inspiration to me. The opening song’s inspiration feels like it came from Brene Brown’s work from her own experience with online trolls like the ones popping up here. LOVE IT!! LOL, clearly these “scientists” commenting missed the mark. Go light up the world Gina Chavez. You are a dragon!

    Bro wtf is this? This aint no damn Ted talk, Unsubscribed. Ted talk has turned away from sharing valuable information to broadcasting things that are simply just entertainment for the political crowd.
