TED talks used to be interesting but recently they have become just as politicized as everything else.
Then, last year, it turned into just another jangling liberal monkey-house of screeching and merde-throwing. Ruined. Waste of time.
For a while I got banned from certain threads there because I challenged their left-wing views.
I stopped watching after this woman explaining why she masturbated as a lifestyle. It got really weird. The point of privacy in health is to prevent an enemy (government) from knowing your weak points just like a hunter is more effective knowing where the deer’s heart is located at. This is why Adam and Eve were provided fig leaf.
Thus sin makes us enemies of ourselves in manipulating our own bodies and I think this rationalization is the most effective form of brainwash, because one does it to himself or herself. I understand women should know their own bodies, bit it is oxymoronic to ignore the rest of the body and target its weaknesses as a result of this knowledge. This can lead to a form of self hate that seem to be self love in indulgence.
Around 2000, when Gore was attending, nearly every single talk referred to global warming. Even if they were doing a juggling act or talking about quantum physics, they managed to work global warming into the talk.
Still happening today, only slightly less ridiculous and they are saying “climate change” instead of “global warming”.
I think it would be hilarious to make some graphs of the percentage of talks that mentioned particular words, especially when those words had zero direct connection to the topic.
