Hooker - 2016-02-20 I don't have any opinion on it. I'm very indifferent to this video. I'm just wondering what inspires this when stuff like "The universe on political correctness" gets universal fives.

Anaxagoras - 2016-02-20 I'll go ahead and give my reason: TED talks are almost always self-satisfied preachy sermons, where they try to find REVOLUTIONARY NEW IDEAS (that fit into 20 minute talks) but they're often banal or obvious ideas that have been given a new packaging. The Onion TED talks are perfect summaries of why these things tend to be shit.
I gotta admit: I don't know if this particular talk is crap. I couldn't make it past the 1 minute mark. She had the standard TED talk intro: supposedly clever, but not actually clever in the slightest, all with a self-congratulatory "aren't we all insightful truth-seekers" undertone.
tl:dr Fuck TED talks. Thank you and good night.

EvilHomer - 2016-02-20 That's an interesting theory, Mr Anaxgoras. You should do a TED Talk about that.

That guy - 2016-02-20 yes, they suck
this particular one was better than most
I was going to 3 or 4 star it, but it got a bunch of 1's.

Oscar Wildcat - 2016-02-20 Yes, a TED talk about the many ways TED talks can be smug, self congratulatory horseshit. #MetaTED2016

ZackKnight - 2016-02-21 Oh my God, thank you all. I thought I was alone in the belief that TED talks were pompous and self-congratulatory. It's the most annoying thing in the world to see them treated like a scientific or academic outlet. Kinda like citing wikipedia.
