I've seen very few TED Talks that were not worthless.

Maybe they were good once, but they've turned into a bunch of PC virtue signaling, for the most part.

O’Sullivan’s First Law: Any institution that is not explicitly right wing will become left wing over time.

TED Talks is an institution.

TED talks used to be interesting but recently they have become just as politicized as everything else.

Those are good points.

That is my feeling as well. Even the ones that I thought focused on interesting situations or solutions devolved into leftist virtue signaling fantasies.

Which is too bad. The subject matter was often interesting (I haven’t watched one in a long time)
