If you do not know about TED you should. I am not talking about those repainted United Airlines planes that atempt to compete with Southwest Airlines by changing their color scheme and not much more. TED is a series of conferences that seeks to understand the cutting edge of Technology, Entertainment and Design and how it is affecting our world. Yesterday the first TED Global kicked off in Oxford, UK. The opening speaker was Professor Richard Dawkins (pictured below), author of “Selfish Gene” and renound Darwinist. He proposed the notion that our universe may be “too queer” to understand. That each species and even each individual lives in its own perceived reality which greatly influences how we understand our surroundings and how we deal with it. On that note the conference began. Other the four days there are over forty speakers addressing all aspects of the worldwide human condition and where it is going. The subject of the conference “Ideas Big Enough to Change the World”, is pretty challenging in it self but it sounds like they are off to a good start. Can't wait to here what else comes out of this program.
