(This conversation is part of “TED Intersections,” a new series featuring thought-provoking conversations between experts exploring ideas at the intersection of their experience.)

    I hope the new world will focus on helping each other and solving problems, rather than competing to prove which group is the winner.

    To make rational change agreed to by the majority of humans , should be the question , otherwise the question becomes , what can we do to force change and how far should we take it. At the moment , there are many factions that desire to impose their ideas of change to the detriment of billions.

    I had hoped to be here for the live show; however I went by last week’s showing and missed it. Will the live shows be scheduled? What is the best way to ensure I am able to see the live show?

    Why is the male dominating the conversation so much and mansplaining

      Mansplaining is a derogatory accusation. Asking why he or she is dominating the conversation is assuming he or she is a he. His her pronouns may be Her/him. Why are you so judgemental ?

    • @QuynhNguyen-qv9xy

      September 5, 2024 at 5:06 am

      I know mansplaining and this is not that. He just expresses himself and listens to her faithfully, brings questions about her story. That’s nowhere near mansplaining.

  11. @ZenMasterChip

    September 3, 2024 at 12:56 pm

    It’s truly disheartening to see that even on a platform where we have the opportunity to have meaningful discussions about what is necessary to bring about change, we instead find ourselves focusing on humanity’s collective failure to acknowledge the need for change. As the conversation comes to a close, we get to what is needed, and all we can do is hold onto the hope that there are enough people out there ready to take action before we reach the irreversible tipping point and acknowledge it will require a critical mass of individuals to come together and drive the change that is so urgently needed.
