Revenge of the TED Talks



This is delightful. He's very appealing, crisp speech and funny little coughing laugh. And he arouses a pertinent point. We are being educated like machines, but the gears are rusting. When I go to college for real and not for a short week, I will need to spend more time there than ever before to get a well-paying, parent-approved job. It's entirely likely that I will have to come back home, or that some of my older friends will come back home for a while because we simply can't enter this industrial-styled workforce as fast as we used to. Living as an artist should be easier than ever before, especially if we follow the philosophy of one musician whose Talk I will post in a moment. So why not encourage artistry? With all of the time we theoretically have thanks to our time consuming time saving technology, it should be plausible to live as a person built to create and evoke something inexplicable in others. There is a whole 90% of the human brain nobody can understand or map out. So let's allow ourselves to enter that realm and find soething so much greater than ourselves!
Creative living for the win!!
