    A report in Politico details a TED talk in Vancouver last month

    Oh so it’s just rambling musings of some self-important CEO rather than any actual declaration of intent.

    There are some good TED talks but a lot of them are just hot air.

      I feel like the bar is extremely low for TED talks these days. But maybe it has just changed to a financial one instead of an intellectual one.

        TED talks have been absolute garbage for years, just corporate shilling and mindless pandering.

        Even back in the days when TED talks were good, I remember learning a lot of cool new ideas that they made seem on the verge of tomorrow, that never materialized.

        Fuck TED talks.
