  1. BLACK HOLES MATTER!!
    732
  2. I'm already perfect, my mom said.
    590
  3. FINALLY, A RAPPER WHO CAN COUNT.
    448
  4. Space junk is good for us -- when aliens attack they don't get a clean shot.
    269
  5. I've never seen Obama in person. Perhaps he doesn't exist. Perhaps it's all a big lie, like in the movie Truman Show.
    141
  6. Next TED Talk Title: "If All Men Pee Sitting Down, The World Will Be Less Violent."
    137
  7. This lady is ignorant of cultural and religious differences. We already know what happened when Israeli and Palestinian are forced to live together. And that's just one example. There are people who cannot live with others because they have to have it their way.
    132
  8. Why is Jimmy Lin not as famous as the Kardashians?
    124
  9. She may be a smart geneticist, but she's not a very smart realist. Once the genie is out of the bottle, no global pause can contain it.
    118
  10. Designer boobies... Yay!!
    107
  11. I bet this guy lives within 4 walls.
    107
  12. I don't even think the globe has agreed on the goals.
    93
  13. If you don't do it, someone else will. I believe there are already designer babies walking among us.
    90
  14. You work out
    83
  15. +Go Bogies Go Yep. Me too. We are the opposite to the speaker. She has many callings. I have none. I was raised in a society where what I'm "supposed to be" when I grow up is largely determined by parents, family and friends, and the society in general. And kids are pressured to fulfill that role. Now I'm old. I'm tired. Like someone said above, I just want to live and be happy.
    80
  16. If a random tourist can easily find illegal loggers, there's no way the local authorities don't know about it. The issue at hand is not they don't hear it. The issue is either corruption or bureaucracy. At the macro level, it has to do with the economics of the location. If the local economy is poor, they may steal your cell phones and solar panels first.
    77
  17. Next: Native Americans want America back.
    77
  18. China's next big project -- build the world's biggest canopy to cover the whole country.
    75
  19. Those living in student housing seem happy because they are a highly homogenous community -- similar age (late teens to 20's), same goal (education and beer), financially dependent (parental help or student loan). Try mixing a student house and nursing home together, and see if everyone is still happy.
    75
  20. To achieve SUCCESS by teaching how to achieve SUCCESS. Interesting loop.
    74
  21. DON'T LET THIS GAL FORCE YOU INTO A DECISION. The fear of becoming a "DRIFTER" is the wrong reason to making a hard choice. As a DRIFTER, I understand the pros and cons (and the values associated) presented by all alternatives, but why should I want to be FOR something because I don't want to be FOR nothing? When I'm ready to be FOR something I will choose to be FOR that thing, which, may not even be in the alternatives at hand. Not to mention, life is full of RANDOMNESS. Chance encounter can be beautiful.
    73
  22. I swear my 3rd grade teacher is an alien.
    66
  23. Haha... this is so ANTI-TIGER MOM.
    64
  24. OMG... I was sunbathing naked in my backyard yesterday. I hope nobody saw it.
    63
  25. Don't be a robot. Be a flesh-and-blood human. Follow your instinct, then learn to love your decision. It can be your house, wife, a restaurant, anything. You won't regret.
    60
  26. "China is on the march!!" Yeah... according to a Fortune survey, more than 60% of the affluent Chinese people have already immigrated to another country, or considering doing so. They are definitely on the march.
    57
  27. That's a good one. No social justice BS.
    56
  28. She's cute. I'll do that for her too.
    56
  29. We already do. It's called EARTH.
    55
  30. BLACK CARS MATTER.
    55
  31. It's natural to feel pain for losing a brother. But a religion that kills people for drawing a cartoon and oppresses women has no place in the 21st Century.
    51
  32. Prochlorococcus lives matter.
    50
  33. Earth is a closed system. Water is recyclable. There's no water scarcity problem. It's how humans manage it.
    50
  34. Only if WAKANDA shares with the rest of Africa their incredible technologies!
    50
  35. CLAM LIVES MATTER
    49
  36. Watching it at 1.5 speed sounds better.
    49
  37. To BEE or not to BEE, that is the question.
    48
  38. Hey guys, I just created this new cryptocurrency. Please send me your highly restricted US dollar and I'll send you this unrestricted new cryptocurrency which is approved by me.
    48
  39. This is a TOTAL DISCRIMINATION against people on wheel chair!!
    46
  40. SPACE -- the new frontier of Social Justice!!
    45
  41. This lady supports portable health benefits and universal basic income. Then she says we should live like our immigrant ancestors. Haha... when our immigrant ancestors first arrived America, there's NO health benefits and NO basic income. That's why they struck out and worked hard, because they had to.
    43
  42. For some, staying in jail is a sound financial decision as you never have to worry the next meal -- just let tax payers take care of you.
    43
  43. Helmets don't prevent concussions. Helmets protect NFL executives. It's too big a business to fail, and there's NO WAY Americans gonna give up their love affair with football.
    42
  44. The truth is, no one knows where the world will be in 2030.
    42
  45. Those who can't deal with the REALITY need to get AUGMENTED ;-)
    41
  46. I'm glad they contrast "conservative" with "progressive", instead of "liberal", as the term liberal has been hijacked for too long. I often say I am so liberal (in a classic sense) that I am conservative, but many don't know what I mean.
    41
  47. Disability is a BAD THING. Just find me a person who wants to loose his/her legs, vision, or whatever voluntarily. She's just lucky to be born into a highly civilized society with good support system that she doesn't feel the disadvantage. In another time another society, she may be abandoned at birth. But I agree that she's NOT inspirational. Looking at her speech and other comedian material, it's ALL about her disability. She's just capitalizing on what she's born with, not unlike any of us. Nothing extraordinary here.
    40
  48. In 2014, gay and bisexual men made up an estimated 2% of the U.S. population, but accounted for 70% of new HIV infections, according to a recent CDC study -- https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/group/msm/index.html
    39
  49. The lobsters that work out a lot eventually grow a brain evolve into Jordan Peterson.
    38
  50. Just learn from the world's OLDEST PROFESSION -- provide what people ultimately need.
    34
  51. DON'T YOU DENY MY RIGHT TO NOT VOTE!!
    34
  52. The split between North and South Korea is the greatest SOCIAL EXPERIMENT of our time.
    34
  53. +JaySee5 Agree. Her talk can be summarized in 1 sentence, "Watching is part of the event, so stop watching."
    34
  54. @1:58 I love how refugees are fleeing the US to go to Canada. Thank you Justin Trudeau.
    34
  55. Architecture that tells a story? The first one that comes to my mind is Favela, the slum surrounding Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. It's organic, vivid, and most importantly, it's built by the people who live it and not by architects. Structures are constantly taken down and re-piled up. It may not be pretty, but it's alive. All architects face a dilemma -- they need to come up with a grand plan before capital can be committed. So they "imagine" who's going to use it and how, just to create a narrative for the plan. But once it's built, there's little validation of their theory, as the chance of taking down and rebuilding a brand new skyscraper is zero.
    33
  56. Because they all grew up in the closet before they came out.
    33
  57. The super rich are invisible.
    33
  58. Yes... If blockchain is like WIKIPEDIA, I will be able to edit my credit score to 850, and add a few ZEROs to my bank account. The best part is, everyone will see it right away!!
    32
  59. Germs and viruses DON'T DISCRIMINATE. They don't care.
    32
  60. NICE HAIR
    31
  61. Laughter, is contagious. HAHAHAHA
    30
  62. A lot of his findings are just human nature. Most people like to mingle with their own. What I don't understand is, why the whitopia communities he experienced seem to do well, while the blackopia communities like Detroit or Ferguson get themselves into troubles such as crime or bankruptcy?
    30
  63. just don't make her mad
    30
  64. What a great singher!!
    29
  65. Hy men, how are you?
    29
  66. Apparently their War Gods failed them.
    29
  67. Air pollution is a result of industrialization. Industrialization is a result of Western Colonization. To solve air pollution problem, South Africans need to get rid of the root cause, and return Africa to its primitive state -- hunting and gathering naked without the whites. Then introduce the power of Wakanda and its vibranium, and build Africa's own civilization from the ground up!
    28
  68. They'll be happier with a dog than a god.
    28
  69. "Grab a leash and take your thoughts for a walk." WHAT'S THE LEASH FOR?
    28
  70. "How eliminating human can help stop global warming"
    28
  71. Kevin failed to differentiate Chinese ruling class from the general public. The rulers are more concerned about their own people (or the rise of them) than conflict with US. When people get rich, they will want more freedom and they will detest all the censorship, thought control, and propaganda, which the rulers rely on to rule. Hence the mass immigration. China is more likely to implode, hopefully peacefully, than to go to war with US.
    27
  72. +Remrau LOL... Perhaps I should take my discussion elsewhere, as most here are concerned about having too many interests while I have none...
    26
  73. How to land on a comet? VERY CAREFULLY
    26
  74. Can a white man go to a black barbershop? Can a woman go to a black barbershop? Can a bald man go to a black barbershop?
    26
  75. It's ok to be white.
    26
  76. Music scene is bottom up, not top down. The more you manage it, the less authentic it becomes. Ban music all together in your city, if you want vibrant underground music.
    26
  77. The great nation of Wakanda should share with the rest of world how they cure HIV.
    25
  78. Millennials want FREE health care, FREE college, FREE basic income, so they are FREE to do whatever they want to do, like playing Pokémon Go and smoking weed. Millennials want to FEEL THE BERN!! Sorry your American dream is not coming true, at least not this election.
    24
  79. Whether Elon Musk is a genius or over-rated is yet to be determined.
    24
  80. If you look very deep below Antarctic ice sheet, you'll find Arctic ice sheet.
    24
  81. Only if Wakanda shares with the rest of Africa their incredible technologies!
    23
  82. Keira Knightley of the Poker world.
    23
  83. Those damn SUICIDE YARN BOMBERS!!
    21
  84. Just wrote this song -- "Row, row, row your boat, Gently down the stream. Merrily merrily merrily merrily, Life is but a dream." Hope you like it.
    21
  85. What does "Allahu Akbar" taste like?
    21
  86. World's oldest profession. Good luck.
    21
  87. Andy Serkis: "Been there done that."
    21
  88. This talk makes me feel good about myself. I'm good at making people ANGRY.
    20
  89. +nothingtosee Yeah but they need a safe zone free of microaggressors.
    20
  90. It's not SOCCER. It's FUTBOL down there.
    20
  91. Change is not necessarily a good thing. Those who push for changes feel empowered. But throughout human history, sometimes we progress sometimes we regress.
    20
  92. The village is beautiful. I want to move there.
    20
  93. Hippos exercise everyday in the campus, but they are not smart.
    20
  94. The LOUDEST kids get the candy... or they just loot the corner stores. BLM!!
    20
  95. The same reason Iceland is very very GREEN.
    19
  96. It's ok to be Dutch-Indonesian, Chinese and Native American.
    19
  97. To the owl it is.
    19
  98. Soccer is for the oppressed. Football is for the free.
    19
  99. I work in construction. There's a serious shortage of female workers here.
    18
  100. Thank Trump for covfefe
    18
  101. Find a rhino, and paint 4 doors on its body.
    18
  102. I KNEW IT!!! Those Wakanda female guards are all lesbians
    18
  103. She's in good mood today
    17
  104. It is mathematically proven that, in Optimization Theory, maximizing the output of each individual components doesn't always lead to the maximization of output of the system they make up. For example, in a metropolitan area, if every driver on the freeway tries to go home as fast as possible (ignoring red lights, using shortcuts, etc.), the result is often a paralyzed freeway system; nobody gets to go home quick.
    17
  105. I don't pay for content. That's why I watch the free content on YouTube, with adblocker on.
    17
  106. This may only work in a highly homogenous society where everyone holds similar values. If you push for multiculturalism, globalization, and co-housing at the same time, it will be tragic.
    17
  107. Yes, most likely. But the poor in the future also gets to enjoy the fruits of automation, the same way the poor today enjoys the convenience of cell phone, something billionaires in the past generation cannot imagine.
    17
  108. If there's a DARK SPOT in your skin, you should see a doctor as it could be SKIN CANCER.
    16
  109. So, digital media is the GREATEST REVOLUTION in architecture since the invention of concrete and steel? That is laughable. A building's narrative comes from your experience of using it, often repetitively; not spoon-fed by some digital renderings, often accompanied by beautiful people in swimsuit. The only way to speed up the feed-back system of architecture is to speed up design and construction. And it's always a gamble. Digital rendering helps. But given the budget constraints (big buildings are very costly), once construction starts it's hard to change the design if people don't like the rendering. Also, the fact that people now take photos of buildings with their cell phone does not mean buildings should be "disembodied" from the site (9:58). That is just wrong. Too bad he cannot look beyond the building itself and pay attention to other factors(budget, environment, neighborhood, social and cultural context, etc.) I bet his next big talk will be how VIRTUAL REALITY is the greatest revolution in architecture.
    16
  110. Breathing is a must and apparently good for your brain.
    16
  111. War and genocide are two different things. You can have one without the other. A war can be civil but genocide is always uncivil.
    16
  112. Ms. Applewhite, you can't make a baby at age 64. Ageism is not a social construct. It's a fact of life.
    16
  113. Africans are not as angry as African Americans. It shows in their music.
    16
  114. It's ok to be white
    16
  115. Heather Lanier is HOT, and that's GOOD.
    16
  116. Love and compassion? How about "OBEY THE LAW"?
    15
  117. FREE THE MOLD
    15
  118. What we need is the 50 SHADES movie, because not everything is so black and white but lots of gray in between. And love.
    15
  119. Last time I stepped inside a black barbershop, everybody, including customers, stopped what they were doing and stared at me like I'm an exotic animal... Haha that was quite an experience. Not sure about health benefit though ;-)
    15
  120. Back in the 90's, Intel would intentionally prop up AMD to avoid anti-competitive lawsuit while still making all the money. But winner takes all is the natural result of technology and democracy. Who wants to use MySpace when Facebook has all the eyeballs? Artificially created competition is not efficient. There's no easy solution to this.
    15
  121. For 10 page essay, you need to run.
    15
  122. What do you do when your public space becomes homeless encampment?
    15
  123. Artists prefer a colorful house that's not livable. Homeless prefer a livable house that's not colorful.
    15
  124. His handkerchief is so shiny I forget what he's talking about.
    15
  125. In the eyes of a racist everything is about race.
    14
  126. People watch NFL for the big hits. The players are the modern day gladiators -- live by the game, die by the game.
    14
  127. He's an artist, not a scientist. Artists are to provoke feelings, not to provide evidence.
    14
  128. It's ok to be 94
    14
  129. My hard drive is TINY and FLOPPY
    14
  130. Yes indeed. ISIS is defeated. It's time refugees rebuild their own community.
    14
  131. What does CYBER mean? Well, let's do "CYBER" and I'll show you ;-)
    13
  132. MONICA started up her business in the White House from under the President's table.
    13
  133. I descended into America's ANTIFA movement, and I got out. Please cheer for me.
    13
  134. I like Detroit the way it is. With all the abandoned buildings, homeless population, and drive-by shootings, it's a unique open-air museum our industrial age has to offer. Leave it the way it is!
    13
  135. What's the definition of black photography? Is it the photographer is black? or the subject photographed is black? Or is it both?
    13
  136. Fancy shoes...
    13
  137. I'm well endowed. (I'm talking about my endowment fund. Thank you Grandpa.)
    13
  138. Outer space... there's no oxygen there
    13
  139. It's ok to be a MAN.
    13
  140. Color, like religion, is just another silly way to divide people. Imagine people worshiping in yellow houses don't like people worshiping in pink houses, while people worshiping in black houses want to kill them all. Sounds familiar?
    13
  141. This girl is not black black except for her hair. That's why she celebrates her lack of BLACKNESS by talking about her hair; a contrarian play.
    12
  142. Psychology is not exactly science. Not yet. Psychology to science is like alchemy to chemistry. Keep trying (not being sarcastic).
    12
  143. Perhaps she believes this is what she'll get in the afterlife for being a good Muslim.
    12
  144. Ok... It's great to be white.
    12
  145. I see diversity in the group. If you look closely, some are blacker than others.
    12
  146. Antifa is a gift that keeps giving to the right.
    12
  147. It's ok to be white
    12
  148. I clicked because I thought the title says "The critical role libertarians play in the opioid crisis."
    12
  149. sad but true, big taboo.
    12
  150. Men are from Mars. We already know that. But I'm more interested in Venus.
    11
  151. Think out side the GDP box. I love it. Great idea and noble effort, although I'm interested in knowing how these non-quantitative attributes are calculated.
    11
  152. On further thought, I can DECLARE it's impossible for China to go to war with US, considering that all the children of the Chinese ruling class (the princelings) either live or enroll in universities in US or its allies and CIA keeps track of them.
    11
  153. My DOG listens better than GOD.
    11
  154. A scientist just got fired by crying chicks.
    11
  155. Black Octopuses Matter
    11
  156. I work with a group of engineers who wear practical clothes everyday and could care less about fashion. They express themselves through devotion to work. It's a beautiful thing.
    11
  157. Not oppressed, but highly triggered.
    11
  158. you won't have any politician left
    11
  159. It's ok to be white
    11
  160. The fast and widespread growth of Islam religion in recent history into Europe, southeast Asia, and even America can be attributed to the mass migration of Islam population due to regional conflicts or whatever reason. How much assimilation should be required for the newcomers becomes a serious topic for the governments of the receiving countries.
    10
  161. MARINE LIVES MATTER
    10
  162. I'm proud of you too
    10
  163. BORING... I'M GOING TO PRINT MY LUNCH NOW.
    10
  164. If the kids are constantly hungry, they have bigger problems than learning. Call social service, not school chef.
    10
  165. Nice hat.
    10
  166. Russia butt.
    10
  167. Drum is the most simplistic form of music instrument.
    10
  168. No more Great Whites. Black lives matter.
    10
  169. Reformation and enlightenment are the best way to defend against honor killing.
    10
  170. 'The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money' -- Margaret Thatcher
    10
  171. Wow, so powerful... Is Mwende Katwiwa from Wakanda?
    10
  172. It's ok to be white.
    10
  173. This is a TOTAL DICRIMINATION against cassette collectors.
    10
  174. It's ok to be white.
    10
  175. Unless you want to start by inventing the wheels first.
    10
  176. OpiatedBliss LOL you seem to understand aliens' weaponry very well.
    9
  177. You have better chances of being smothered by junk on earth than in space.
    9
  178. Yea... I think because the hole is so small they don't consider it an "open surgery".
    9
  179. Christianity in the middle ages was indeed scary, which then triggered renaissance, enlightenment, and reformation. The last 5 centuries has been a long secularization process in the Western world. Today very few Christians believe the Bible literally, or even read it at all. Too bad Islam hasn't gone through the same reform. If it's not for their oil, most of the Muslim world will be living in the medieval times with living standard equivalent to that of Africa.
    9
  180. By photographing only NAKED people, this lady is discriminating many who are not allowed to show their hair and skin. WHY?
    9
  181. Jail is not the place to prepare young people for the society. School is. Jail is to deter people from committing crimes. If one wants to prepare himself/herself for the society, go to school, not jail. He talks about jails should have art and music programs for the inmates. Well, you should go to school to learn those. Besides, if our jails have successful art and music programs they may attract more young people to commit crimes (in order to enter the programs). I think his mistreatment in jail is exactly why he'll try not to return to jail again. So it works.
    9
  182. OLD PEOPLE DON'T CARE
    9
  183. Why build roads in Africa? Dream big! Soon every African will fly a personal quadcopter, and there will be no need for roads.
    9
  184. She explained @2:15 how she's a victim of persuasion architecture.
    9
  185. It's ok to be you.
    9
  186. SCIENCE = EMOTIONLESS
    9
  187. If you want a better reality instead of a better fiction, try STEM, not film. If you think Africans already live a good life, unlike what's portrayed by the Western media, then you should care less about what others think. (Just don't let the West know so the aid will keep coming.)
    9
  188. Socialism is trying to dress up as Capitalism.
    9
  189. In all honesty, this is not a bad idea. Instead of giving speeches like an old has-been, Obama can embrace a brand new project and utilize his vision and leadership skills to help Africa where he's most needed. After all, he's a winner of Nobel Peace price.
    9
  190. This guy still doesn't get the point. It's not about different beliefs or ideologies. It's about TRUTH that can be scientifically examined. Anyone who insists that gender is just a social construct, and denies that men are taller and stronger than women is delusional. (And anyone who's going to tell me this woman is taller and stronger than that man therefore I'm wrong is plain stupid.) As to racial differences, the TRUTH is sometimes too sensitive to bring up. But that doesn't make it untrue, which is the beauty of scientific truth.
    9
  191. Plebian Hero That's because either 1) the difference is not yet extreme (e.g. someone insists you dress a certain way or not eat certain food, or even wants to cut your head off because of who you are), or 2) the community hasn't been lived close enough (e.g. does your community share one kitchen? one bathroom?)
    9
  192. That's why I bought a wheel for my hamster, so the poor little guy thinks he will find his purpose.
    9
  193. because TED is a safe space
    9

  195. She didn't say anything we don't already know, and she didn't try to explore the root cause of this problem. So there's nothing new here. In that case, I suggest her to also talk to girls on the opposite side in that part of the world -- those who strongly defend the values of their fathers and husbands over literacy or independence. I'm more curious in what they think. Can't assume every girl wants what you want.

  196. This is EXAGGERATING. It doesn't replace one tenth of your sight. Sonar system doesn't work in the city with all the urban noise around you. Try click your tongue and cross a street in Manhattan with your eyes closed. It's suicidal. Let along reading a book or enjoying a painting.

(For those outside America, medical coding is a complex coding system invented by insurance companies that dictates how doctors get paid.

  227. I often feel that, to many folks in the LGBT community, this LGBT topic is the main and only theme of their lives. It's understandably so, but when one's life has such a strong theme, all other aspects of life pale in comparison and fade into background. So perhaps those LGBT folks who choose to conform are merely trying to live a more fulfilling life without being dominated by this LGBT topic.

  248. Plebian Hero Here's my response to your 1st point: Therefore this video fails to discuss the VETTING process for building such housing. Should certain people be excluded? Who to include and exclude? To your 2nd point: If co-housing only means sharing communal space but not kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom (after all, these are what make up a house), then we already have numerous public spaces like parks, malls, and streets where people can mingle. Finally, as to Muslim, they stay low when they are the minority in a community but they rarely assimilate and they take over (jihad) when they finally can. Here's a quote from Winston Churchill “Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it."

  253. +Eric P. Alvaro Agree. His idea of "pulling the phones apart and putting the bits into trees" is just stupid, let alone harmful to the environment. Instead of dispersing the info everywhere, the idea should be bringing in the info where you need it -- your brain. Just plant a chip in the brain that can interact directly with your senses. After that it's the most natural.

  259. ***** Disability is the opposite of ability. It is a BAD THING. It's a fact. It doesn't mean disabled people are bad thing. If someone tell me I'm not the prettiest person on earth, I would agree with him/her.
    6
  260. Washington needs to be decentralized.
    6
  261. Both of you are right. Killing, a "bad death", is ironic as it's opposite to a "good death" she promotes. Immortality is ironic, as it's opposite to "death" that she focuses on.
    6
  262. +Aaron Lustig Right on! I noticed the speaker refers to the farmer as "she".
    6
  263. Great talk!!
    6
  264. Well, there's some truth in there... The guy apparently doesn't know the difference between causation and correlation. Kids skipping breakfast are likely from broken families or single parents, therefore they don't do well in school. It doesn't necessarily mean skipping breakfast is the cause, but that they are less likely to have the same resources as rich kids.

  272. Before teaching children how to read, it's more important not to have children outside wedlock. It's the number one reason of black poverty.

  279. A friend of mine who's in her 60's. She has to bath her son who has down syndrome and is 35 -- something she's been doing for 35 years. She's now too old to do it. I have a hard time convincing her that's a good thing, except that one day she'll exhaust her savings and government aide will kick in. Maybe that's good, but ironic.
    6
  280. I'm sure her son had cute cheeks and sparkling eyes when he was a baby. Yes he's a human and she loves him very much. But now she's dealing with a mature man who can out-wrestle her and has uncontrollable erection sometimes. When her son was just born, she had a chance to give him away but she chose not to. I dare not ask her now if she thinks that's a GOOD or BAD decision.

  284. Is returning shared material on time that hard?
    6
  285. The reason it's boring is because she only appeals to our emotion. There's very little in her talk that requires any logic or reasoning.
    6
  286. Agriculture? Why don't they just GROW WEED? At least the residents of Detroit can get high and forget about their misery.
    6
  287. ***** Rich immigrants create jobs for the poor locals, stupid.
    5
  288. Rich neighborhoods can afford better education for their kids. What does that have to do with RACE? To stay away from the poverty cycle, try not to have kids out of WEDLOCK first.

  289. The only way to resolve the refugee situation is from the source. And it needs to be done fast before the refugees resolve the West.

  291. Remittance is a TINY portion of our economy (think about how GDP is calculated: international trade, consumption, investment, etc.) If remittance is the LIFEBLOOD of an economy, I'd say this economy has more important things to worry about than exchange control. Many emerging economies apply exchange control not to prevent money laundry (that's also a TINY portion of economy), but to protect their domestic markets from being wiped out by nearby large economies such as US or EU. Not to mention, in the age of money printing, exchange control becomes one of the few weapons small economies have against vultures betting "hot money" anywhere they like, debasing small currencies at will. But I agree that, if remittance can be identified and separated from other types of currency flows, this can be handled more efficiently.

  292. MATT DAMON already did it!!
    5
  293. +ThePlayfulDreamer Most people don't know what they want. They may know what they don't want (e.g. the status quo). Therefore their opinion often gets shaped by a much smaller group of activists pushing for changes.

  295. My t-shirt says "DON'T LOOT DON'T ROB".
    5
  296. Good point. She said it herself: "she's like a son her father never had". She's a product of her father's making, a daddy's girl.
    5
  297. Inspired by her project, I'm starting to take photos of people's FEET. This way even Muslim can participate without being afraid. Besides, who's to say our face tells a better story than our FEET?
    5
  298. I just produced some air. Who would like to inhale?
    5
  299. All social systems have their context. The CASTE SYSTEM may not be fair, but it's kept the society stable for centuries. The CHILD LABOR is not considered a problem in poor economies; it's even appreciated because it's often the only way a family can survive. No need to get ANGRY. Just watch history turn its page.
    5
  300. So, what is she now? Jew? Atheist? It seems to me she's still confused. One day she'll miss her family, or perhaps lose interest in her husband, and she'll return to WBC.

    5
  304. Some see black and say amazing right away
    5
  305. Wait, did she say debt should be forgiven, and not repaid? This is STUPID. Your debt can only be forgiven by your CREDITOR and not yourself.
    5
  306. DeBaggio Yes. Berkeley used to be the pinnacle of progressive movement in the 60's but now has become regressive, in my opinion, by shutting down different voices. Same thing happened to most college campuses. This is what happens when you don't have a stick on the ground.
    5
  307. randomguy5990 I support people's right to protest, but also Milo's right to speak. When protesters go beyond the law, try to shut down someone they disagree with, or introduce violence (often with their face covered), I have to condemn them.

  308. Try STEM. It's more likely to give you dignity and help you escape homelessness than ARTS without claiming victimhood.

  327. Fränzy MadM Interesting thought. Bitterness and hate... is that what "Allahu Akbar" remind you of?
    5
  328. Aha! Take on me please.
    5
  329. @O Sun A Tzi -- Kids with rich parents can afford to buy their own books, instead of returning books weeks late and pay fines. Kids with poor parents, as long as they follow the rules, they have free and equitable access to the library, exactly the way it's designed.

  330. If you are diagnosed to only have 1 day left, you'll want a second opinion.

    5
  334. business is for profit. they won't pay your food stamps.

  335. RELIGION is the biggest fake news. That's why some believe they'll get 72 virgins after jihad, while others believe there's heaven if they behave.
    5
  336. Facing the challenge of Industrial Revolution, Karl Marx asked the same set of questions already -- how to distribute the wealth as the pie grows? Well, we all know the result. So, good luck with universal basic income.
    5
  337. Overonator Chinese consumers, especially the new class of urban elites, are just catching on the "organic" movement. If it sounds right, they'll buy. I agree that given China's population and available agricultural land, what she builds is not sustainable. But she's a business woman. She just want to make a buck by building China's version of Whole Foods.

    5
  340. Plebian Hero As in any community, the key to harmony, let alone happiness, is about rights and responsibilities (i.e. social contract, written or unwritten). If you rely solely on people's free will to move in and out, you won't be able to handle the free-loaders: those who only enjoy the goodies of such co-housing but not the duties. In the end, responsible people are driven out and co-housing becomes a dump. (We've seen a lot of these in public housing.) And if you don't have some sort of screening process (if the word vetting is too sensitive), there will be no private or quasi private community center since everyone can move in.

  341. All the aliens moved to sanctuary cities.

  342. A wrong person walking into UC Berkeley campus can get lynched, or at least cause the city $600,000 damage for security measures. Safe space is the new Jim Crow law.

  343. It's Steven Pinker's argument that the world is getting better, which I have no objection. But I have to say the elimination of poverty in the past 20 years was mostly done in China, not US.

  347. As a result of the great migration, Detroit today is 85% black. Ferguson is 70%, and Baltimore is 65%. I wonder if they are in higher caste than those remain in the south, given they now have the option to utilize their talent.
    5
  348. +Zlatan Chorinzkov I'm already a millionaire (after hard work of course). I'm financially independent. My constraint is not money. Like I said, not all societies focus on individual pursuit. Fulfilling your role to people around you is much more important.

  351. +JKchick62 Yes they want a good life but they also firmly believe in Sharia Law, not your law. We are witnessing this happening in Western Europe as we speak. When Canadians give up their identity, others will be more than happy to assume their identity. The question is, are you willing to give up your Western lifestyle?
    4
  352. +JKchick62 Over time, when more and more newcomers get voted into government, your law will start to change, and your lifestyle will change too. In some Muslim-majority towns in Europe, women are banned from using public swimming pools in certain hours, as these hours are preserved for men only. (Muslim men don't like to see women in swimsuit.) What if one day your law requires you to cover your hair in public? Will you embrace such multiculturalism?

    4
  355. Is the tattooed man's last name BUSH? and the act he plotted out back in Texas called War on Terror? And now we have ISIS. On the other hand, there's no Doctrine of Mercy in Koran. Get real. I'm just glad I'm not a Muslim and I'm not the tattooed man. And I'm glad America is not just about the Republic of Dreams and Republic of Fears as the guy described. And it still has room for me.

  356. +John Agreed. She didn't provide any insight, let alone solution. She's just riding the Black Lives Matter bandwagon, which may explain how she got to her position. It also worries me that a public official is so opinionated.

  414. WOW... This is the first time TED agrees with TRUMP!!
    4
  415. This talk reminds me of another TED talk by the late Stella Young, the disability right activist and comedian, who insisted that "disability is not a BAD thing; it's just different". I hope Heather Lanier can take care of her daughter for many years to come, and the daughter doesn't grow up to be an entitled social justice warrior, demanding the whole world to adjust to her like Stella did.

  430. Collecting music and collecting records are two different things. Mixing these two is not good, but that's what the speaker is doing here. To me it's the content that matters, regardless of how it's stored. Why does 77% revenue go to top 1% of musicians? Well, perhaps their music is just that good! Before recording technology was invented, the only way to enjoy music, besides playing it yourself, is to go to live performance. Back in those days, top musicians can only reach a tiny audience even if they perform every day. Thanks to the technologies that democratize music, now we can all enjoy top musicians anywhere anytime at near zero cost. Why settle for anything less? But the speaker seems to think a hard-to-find record means good music. Well, perhaps nobody buys their record for a reason.

  444. GearZNet In the Q&A section he talked about finding outside resources (land trust, mission, etc.) to fund his projects. Well, when the funding dries up, the revival stops. A healthy neighborhood is only sustainable when its residents have stable jobs (not necessarily high-paying). The locals eventually need to generate enough money (tax) to sustain their own neighborhood.

If a decision can't wait and I'm not ready to choose, the beauty of life's randomness will take care of it (or "drifting" in her terminology). It's a philosopher's job to observe, analyze, and explain. But not every observation in life needs an explanation. I'm no philosopher. I'm a free man.

  555. BURNING is the fastest way to cheer up a neighborhood (free fireworks!!) and to bring down abandoned houses. And yeah.... I'm from Detroit, the most interesting city in America. Jokes aside, reviving the buildings don't matter. It's the people in the neighborhood. When they are poor, they are in no mood of enjoying ART. They are only in the mood of FINDING NEXT MEAL or something they can take for next meal. In fact, if you make your house beautiful in the hood, you just make yourself a target.

No." -- Wrong... only if you know how much we pay for Clean Air Act."Can you log illegally? Yes." -- Wrong... only where there's a such a law."Do you have to pay for wood? Yes." -- Wrong... I burn plenty of fallen woods without paying a penny.

  580. Canada is gonna get some very good swimmers.
    2
  581. B-B-B-B-BLACK LIVES MATTER!!
    2
  582. I don't like method two. I don't like drinking treated pee.
    2
  583. My friend can use it now. He had a stroke 2 months ago which paralyzed his left. I have read that, 3 months after the stroke patient's recovery will slow or even stop. He's at a point this project can save him.
    2
  584. INDIA is the center of the world? It's only in the perspective. We live in a stabilizing world? These maps don't tell you that. This guy obviously has his own hidden agenda. So I googled his name... no surprise he's a SJW from UK
    2
  585. Just remodel the retired space shuttle as space garbage truck. Problem solved.
    2
  586. YEAH..... THREESOME..... an idea worth spreading!!
    2
  587. +Illlium In that case, I should claim my apartment is tax free because it's so damn small. The truth is, we are all passengers in this world. Nobody should occupy a space forever because it's just not sustainable.
    2
  588. DeoMachina Oh I didn't notice the speaker's gender. But since you mentioned, how dare you assume she's a woman, and not a transgender or identifying with men?
    2
  589. ***** Redistribution is happening indeed. You'll get your share of national debt in the form of tax. Congrats.
    2
  590. DON'T ASK WHAT MY GENDER IS. ASK WHAT I THINK IT IS.
    2
  591. Don't ask where I'm from. Ask where I'm up to.
    2
  592. Don't use Oculus. Use Hololens. It's better. You can actually interact and not just watch.
    2
  593. Bt Tan That's NSA. 
    2
  594. Black Hair Matters
    2
  595. ***** Haha I read "Those bombs will continue to drop women on men" 
    2
  596. nachoijp China has the largest population in the world with a value system that emphasizes collectivism over individualism... Maybe we should keep an eye on them.
    2
  597. Love the pictures. But I'm not sure the best way to protect the wilderness is, as Mr. Stone said, to "get out there and put your feet in the water". People always bring pollution, like water bottles, human waste, etc. I mean, hanging a hammock on top of a lone Cypress tree is kind of cool (it makes a great picture for sure). But imagine thousands of people start to get into such extreme photography in the Everglades...
    2
  598. +Lalaluhla The artist names her own project "Human" so I guess it's not a wild guess it's about humans.
    2
  599. +mhtinla Wait... will I be offending people with no feet?
    2
  600. This looks like Cheonggyecheon project in Seoul, South Korea.
    2
  601. It's a theory with no scientific evidence. But it's a good theory.
    2
  602. +Mateus Müller Your definition of scientific evidence is super loose. I heard a couple of numbers and that's it. Don't forget when it comes to statistics, people often confuse correlation with causation. He did provide some interesting observations though.
    2
  603. Different you inhaled?

  604. Kaoutar Daoudi How do you know? But thanks anyway ;-)

  605. +Chris Fokjohn The caption works perfectly on this one.

  606. Mick Jagged LOL... do aliens vote? Idiot!!
    2
  607. Just like other religions, some feminists are moderates and some are combatants. This one thinks all men are wrong.
    2
  608. One time I rode my bike to the supermarket. I shopped like usual but after checkout I realized I didn't have hands to ride my bike home.
    2
  609. We should all be humanists.
    2
  610. Buffet Time Haha so salty
    2
  611. Both of you make good argument. I think I'll tell a story that's "loosely based on true events".
    2
  612. John Murray  "I mean there's a lot of stupid convos and bad poetry" If life is all that smart and pretty, it's probably not real. "...in a sad way people might not really know me until I die..." Maybe sooner than that. Sometimes I read my own postings or videos from only a few years back and I don't even recognize myself. 
    2
  613. No, but I can krump now!!!
    2
  614. Just tell F.A.R.C. guerrilla that Santa will bring them gifts if they behave themselves .
    2
  615. Perhaps Mr. Gates can call his brother, the other Mr. Gates, to drop some hundred dollar bills from the helicopter. That will revive the neighborhood instantly.
    2
  616. ... and Black Panther is just as effective as Jesus.
    2
  617. AQGOAT24 Alchemists had machines like MRI? Which part of "primitive" didn't you understand with your primitive brain?
    2
  618. That helmet looks so UNCOMFORTABLE. No thank you.
    2
  619. St S That explains why so many mental patients keep talking with themselves.
    2
  620. ManiacallyYours You don't need to be anything to stew in your own whatever.
    2
  621. It's complicated.
    2
  622. I think I'll just call trash when I see one.

  623. This guy just made the argument for TRUMP -- plug the inflow of illegals first, before making the dreamers legal.
    2
  624. InMaTeofDeath Tell me where one starts and the other ends.
    2
  625. Doctor Freud Yes and the ocean my bathtub.
    2
  626. InMaTeofDeath Don't be too serious. It's one of the meaningless comments I make everyday. But then again, the boundary between meaningful and meaningless is fuzzy.
    2
  627. Western democracy has its foundation on Liberalism, which believes in the autonomy of individuals. Voting in small groups is against Liberalism (not that it's wrong). But don't forget most extremists work in groups (KKK, Al-Qaeda, you name it). Teenagers get rowdy when they gather in groups because of peer pressure.
    2
  628. Nope but it's Black History Month
    2
  629. You can't compare non-binary questions whose answers can be averaged (like the height of Eiffel Tower) with binary ones whose cannot (like voting for Clinton vs Trump).
    2
  630. Accused rapists are assumed innocent until proven guilty
    2
  631. Eggplant is not a fruit. It's a veggie.
    2
  632. But within the confine of this reply, you are wrong and I am right.
    2
  633. First reply to you!!!
    2
  634. randomguy5990 No one? When he went to Berkeley (and many other places), Antifa shut him down completely by burning down a few buildings. And the mayor ordered the police to stand down instead of protecting Milo's right to speak.
    2
  635. Those who are not allowed to talk about freedom.
    2
  636. So are you a fruitcake?
    2
  637. I try not to talk to people like him/her/them, as I for sure will make a mistake.
    2
  638. Yep. I couldn't understand some of the key sentences. But I'm not likely to re-watch it anyway.
    2
  639. Chaz McGooski Stupidity is also not knowing the difference between "believe" and "obey". To make it clear for a stupid -- they can obey just to stay alive but they don't have to believe.
    2
  640. Racial relations actually worsened during the 8 years of Obama presidency. Now I wouldn't risk entering a black barbershop and having a potential BLM activist hold a knife near my throat. I got plenty of options where I live now ;-)
    2
  641. Now I own a small company with 10 employees. In my hiring consideration these days, I stay away from those who are likely to demand a lot of safe space, or even request me to step down due to my privilege. After all, I'm running a competitive business not a college campus. So far there's been no racial stress in my company. Lucky me ;-)
    2
  642. There are hundred of comments under this video, why do you discriminate my comment? Why?
    2
  643. I'm feeling emotional
    2
  644. You can't prove me wrong.
    2
  645. You think you are insignificant, and you just proved it yourself with lots of numbers. LOL
    2
  646. The Nothing Man Read my post again. I didn't associate cannibalism with Africa. You did, which exposes your inner fear. Since you are so smart, I should leave you in Africa. I'm doing just fine in my civilized world ;-)
    2
  647. VeeTeeF You are making up assumptions. My logic is simple -- a culture where I can live happily is superior to a culture where I'll get eaten alive. Besides, I don't mind learning about cannibalism. I just don't want to live there.
    2
  648. VeeTeeF You claim that all cultures should be equal, so I use cannibalism to rebut. Simple.
    2
  649. Not all cultures are equal.
    2
  650. STOP IT JUST STOP IT
    2
  651. Open borders and welfare state cannot co-exist. It's not sustainable.
    2
  652. Black swans matter!
    2
  653. RaDnWave Not necessarily. Time changes and people change. George Washington owned 500 slaves and that's not acceptable today.
    2
  654. Same reason as George W Bush? "Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East!!” LOL
    2
  655. I bet he gets paid more than the 3000. That's why he took himself out of the fairness pool.
    2
  656. Looks real to me.
    2
  657. TED claims that their ideas are worth sharing, but TED never provided evidence as well. So, watch it at your own risk.
    2
  658. Make sure you are on top during human stampedes.
    2
  659. So, you are saying I don't have a story of trauma and shame. How do you know? You just called me redundant and unhelpful... should I feel the urge to numb the pain? so that I can feel awesome and like a warrior?
    2
  660. In Ashes Of Dreams Bullies like you make me want to use drugs to numb myself.
    2
  661. I'm going to inject to numb myself. As a victim of cyber bully I deserve free drugs.
    2
  662. Thank you debbieomi, on behalf of all the victims.
    2
  663. From AI's perspective, human is a disease that needs to be eradicated.
    2
  664. Not interested in the bible.

  665. DADDY So do you own a Tesla?
    2
  666. it's short for weed
    2
  667. G94 I agree with your critique.
    2
  668. Send the prisoners to rebuild Haiti. It's a win-win. Problem solved.
    2
  669. oaxacachaka But North Africans are not black enough. They are more like olive.
    2
  670. Africa population is BOOMING, with or without proper medical facilities.
    2
  671. john pardon which one
    2
  672. Prison is not punishment. Prison is to provide SAFE SPACE to criminals and make sure they have a good life. The money our government spends on a criminal is more than our median income.
    2
  673. Law-abiding citizens like me don't like to and won't be raped or killed by inmates, because we are not in prison. The criminals who like to kill or rape probably enjoy being killed and raped as well. That's why they did it in the first place, and therefore deserve to be in their own safe space with inmates like themselves.
    2
  674. The ending conjures up the image of looting a grocery store during a riot. Don't know why.
    2
  675. who are the boys?
    2
  676. I like babies. The cute ones I mean.
    2
  677. Democracy should not be a "CIVIC RELIGION". It should be a "CIVIC LOGIC". We don't practice democracy because there's some creed. We do it because it is the best, or the least bad, system one can find so far.
    2
  678. I think Justin is pretty messed up. First, he learned everything wrong about masculinity from Hollywood. Now he's turning 180 degree at full speed, accusing men are privileged. He's obviously very confused.
    2
  679. MGTOW > METOO
    2
  680. Home ownership is super easy in Detroit. You can buy a house for $1000. The problem is who wants to live there? https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/14/cheap-detroit-houses-auction_n_5148152.html
    2
  681. Where is my HIPPO?
    2
  682. Reading books for too long hurts your eyes too.
    2
  683. But reading can't help your pronounciation. When I first learned English, TV helped me the most. Thank you TV.
    2
  684. Get a job in 24 Hour Fitness... Now you have somewhere to go anytime of the day, and can get a shower.
    2
  685. When will TED start distributing drugs in their talks? It will make everyone feel good.
    2
  686. I'd like to visit you in your home.
    2
  687. There was a time when smallpox and rinderpest killed millions of people. Both are ERADICATED now and nobody even talks about them. That's the next step for drugs. Educate yourself before you speak.
    2
  688. domhamai That's one way to fix drug addiction, which has always been a first-world problem. The majority of the world population can't even get proper medicine, let alone injecting themselves to get high.
    2
  689. YANG 2020 !!

  690. Not if you say "ALLAHU AKBAR"!!

  693. Black Lives Matter

  694. Netflix charges a monthly fee. Libraries don't.
    2
  695. Give me one public library that charges a fee to use.
    2
  696. @Isabelle N Then the poor people in your hood have bigger problems than just late fees.
    2
  697. Is Danish Parliament going to make SHARIA LAW?
    2
  698. A gay guy I know always dresses like a peacock. His fashion style just screams "LOOK AT ME" even from far away. I always wonder why he needs so much attention. But of course I have gay friends who are low key too.

  699. Kai Bishop Your sense of taste is skin deep, literally.
    2
  700. Her nephew is the one in spider man suit.
    2
  701. The fundamental problem with Europe is that they are generating little innovation these days. Meanwhile, US tech companies (e.g. FANG) are more concerned about China (e.g. BAT) than Europe, but that's a different battle.
    2
  702. LOL... At first I thought the title was "The BOOT students need to overcome obstacles".
    2
  703. Competition? Why? It will create winners and losers, and losers will be very unhappy. We don't want unhappy workers.
    2
  704. There's no "he" between these two ladies.
    2
  705. Ray D-V Feel free to believe what you want to believe, but leave me out of your belief.
    2
  706. Intelligence of people are not based on how much people work out. But how much of your brain cells you use has a lot to do with your physical condition.
    2
  707. Harvey Weinstein helped a lot of women in Hollywood. Too bad that channel is closed.
    2
  708. Hello, I want to be a refugee and apply asylum to the country providing the following: free housing, free food, free cell phone, free education, free health care... the more the better. Please tell me which country has the BEST BENEFIT. Thank you.
    2
  709. Centrists are not the same as conformists.
    2
  710. LittleLion93 "If you listen just to playlist you risk to not discover tons of music that you could love" Playlist is just a way to collect/organize songs, no different from record diggers collect/organize their vinyl, except that you don't have to go by a full album. Also, nobody listens only to the playlist, my playlists keep growing and evolving.
    2
  711. Before teaching your children that they can change the world thru social justice, tell them to be responsible for themselves first -- keep the grades up, obey the law and stay out of trouble. It's more important our students become responsible citizens than active citizens.
    2
  712. Rejected... sorry to hear that ;-(

  713. You are a very picky orphan. The Uganda couple has air condition at home.
    2
  714. But you are not dark enough... Americans are looking to enhance their multiculturalism.

  715. Genius!

  716. I have a dream that my four little children will be of four diverse races. I'm still working on it.

  717. "Just plug the damn hole!"
    2
  718. 3:0 !!
    2
  719. @O Sun A Tzi -- The fine system does not discriminate the poor, because it doesn't know which patrons are rich and which are poor. It only discriminate the irresponsible, because it wants to ensure FREE and EQUITABLE access of all people. If the rich people are happy paying the fines, the library should be happy to use the fine to buy more copies for the rest of the community.

  720. Smoke some weed. It's faster.

  721. Amen

  722. Don't wait for the time-bomb to go off.
    2
  723. Nothing wrong with that, if you know how YouTube view count algorithm works.
    2
  724. It's ironic that the boss of the left leaning WaPo, Jeff Bezos, is defeated by AOC, someone who's farther to the left, in his Amazon-New York deal.
    2
  725. The left views left as center
    2
  726. Are you 100% sure you don't live in a bubble?
    2
  727. Dan M = bigot!! You are such a bigot that you only think in terms of planets. Other galaxies matter too!! #OtherGalaxiesMatter And don't forget to show some love for plants, rocks, dirt, etc.
    2
  728. Thanks. I plan to read more about it as I have conflicting feelings about her story.
    2
  729. It actually makes perfect sense if you understand human nature.
    2
  730. In the past centuries, our medical science has successfully eradicated diseases such as smallpox and rinderpest. If drug addiction is a disease as some claimed, our goal should be to eradicate it, which is quite doable, instead of trying to live with it.
    2
  731. Drug addiction is a first-world problem, a result of excessiveness. A good portion of the world population can't even get proper medicine they need, let alone injecting themselves to FEEL GOOD. They don't need education on drug addiction because it's simply not available.
    2
  732. Sigh... You are too naïve to understand human conditions. But that's good for you. Stay that way.
    2
  733. I gave an example of how disability can be bad for a family in the long term, and what may be coming for Heather Lanier in 30 years. But I did not tell her how to feel. As to Stella Young, well, she's not with us anymore and I think that's good. And you being triggered makes it even better ;-)

    2
  739. Are Danish companies innovative and competitive? What did they invent?
    2
  740. Have you hugged a tree today?
    2
  741. Yea I was just messing with you. Don't pay attention to me.
    2
  742. But scientists can get emotional, and that's normal. Emotion can affect the speed and scope of science projects, but never the conclusion. Just don't let emotion interferes with your judgment, which should be based on evidence and logic and nothing else.
    2
  743. China already developed a solution, called FALUN GONG.
    2
  744. Noam Chomsky said that.
    2
  745. Belisario Prats The burden of proof lies with the one who claims it works.
    2
  746. What's the difference between spirituality and religion?
    2
  747. Thanks. I'm not religious, but not sure if I'm spiritual. Now it seems I'm neither. I noticed many non-religious people are anxious to emphasize they are still spiritual. I just find that funny.
    2
  748. Africa doesn't want these damaged goods.
    2
  749. I ran a mile (4 laps) last Saturday. I am so proud of myself.
    2
  750. Factories that make artificial meat.
    2
  751. Wow... Smartest idea I've ever heard!!
    2
  752. @Fancyshorts Haha you are kind of slow to realize it's a great idea aren't you? Perhaps you should receive a brain from a pig to get smarter. LOL...
    2
  753. LOL... Thanks for the detailed analysis. You just explained why a pig's brain is perfect for you ;-)
    2
  754. I'm no expert. I just don't want to get a pig's brain like you do ;-)
    2
  755. May god cure you.
    2
  756. Before that, was Mexico part of Spain?
    2
  757. Azan subhie She operates based on emotion. Yes I agree an emotional person changes mood and position like changing weather.
    2
  758. Be a better person, and give your money to me.
    2
  759. Can you do math or just stupid? There are more than 25 likes for each dislike.

  760. BIG AFRO HAIR!! Are you African Indian?
    2
  761. Illegal Mexicans to the US and 14th Century Mongols to China have one thing in common: uninvited and unwelcome.
    2
  762. control yourself. don't let out your anger on someone else.
    2
  763. Bee Keeper When I walk in the streets, I don't like to encounter someone who's so SAD and MAD that he has to take a walk.
    2
  764. ArualBlack "if no one reacted like he/she did nothing would ever be done" That's such a stupid statement. One doesn't need to be SAD and MAD to get things done. It's just the opposite.
    2
  765. Bee Keeper You sound like fake news, purposely omitting certain facts.
    2
  766. SSMART Indians don't know how to build toilet? Are you sure? Is it because they all use the SHITHOLES in China?
    2
  767. Who pays for the safe-injection sites, the clean needles, and most importantly, the drugs?
    2
  768. Black Lights Matter!!
    2
  769. The only Arabic I understand: "Allahu Akbar"
    2
  770. Plebian Hero You are assuming if someone is rich enough to enter a highly desirable and expensive co-house, they must be good participants. But there's NO correlation between being rich and being responsible. Rich people buy into expensive arrangement so they have better niceties to take advantage of. Then you suggest "policing" (reactive) which is less effective than "vetting" (preventive). By and large, the concept of a market (capitalism) you introduced is contradictive to that of co-housing (socialism).
    2
  771. Plebian Hero The speaker opposes the isolation of suburban homes but fails to give credit to the comfort, freedom, and independence that come with it. Looking at history, suburban lifestyle became the way it is, fairly recently in the West, naturally and organically because people truly love it. The speaker also admits co-housing is an age-old way of living (we've tried it before and chose otherwise!) and still existent in non-Western society (because they can't afford it.) If she ever visited a poor 3rd-world village where most things are communal, she'll find out these people dream to have their own houses as privacy is luxury.
    2
  772. KeepItReal You just made my point!! It's already a big problem in Palestine/Israel when they live in the same city, imagine if they live in the same house as the speaker suggested!!
    2
  773. Simply Sookie If the girls are hot I will ;-)
    2
  774. Julius Red I dunno... most ISIS fighters are very young and they all want to die for Allah because they believe they'll get 72 virgins.
    2
  775. Hanna G Economic or political reasons may drive kids to do extreme things. But to die willingly and happily, they have to believe there's something better at the other end.
    2
  776. I am Viennese. Are we neighbors?
    2
  777. We already have gini coefficient
    2
  778. which is gender blind and color blind. I think it's better.
    2
  779. Marc Pelletier You can't know yourself, but you'd better be responsible for your emotions like the lady said!!

  781. No pain, no gain.

  783. She does have kids.
    2
  784. Especially the cute ones
    2
  785. Now we are shaming smiles... Sigh... So many triggered. Or maybe you are a Muslim and afraid to show your smile.

  786. Mike C Marginalize? Demean? No, I speak the truth. You are the bully in this comment section. What? you disagree that this talk doesn't require much logic and reasoning as I stated? LOL I bet you listened to the talk 3 times at slower speed and still felt puzzled... That shows your IQ. And how dare you MARGINALIZE and DEMAN me as a VICTIM?
    2
  787. Mike C So, the word "genocide" trumps all words? Or are you claiming that genocide victims are bigger than bully victims? Who makes you the judge of Oppression Olympics? The fact that you called a bully victim "sociopathic" shows you are a privileged a-hole with zero understanding of victimhood. You are not just a bully but also a coward. (Aren't they all?)

  792. 100% meritocracy doesn't exist, and never did. But what we have today is way better than the vinyl or cassette era when the barrier to entry was sky high. Many of today's top musicians start with their own humble YouTube channel or singing competition (meritocracy). Art is subjective, but Capitalism surrounds the top 1% musicians with the world's specialists in rhythm, beats, hooks, lyrics, arrangement, and production, trying to crack the code of what makes music great. The singer is often the only visible member of a huge music team. So it's a lot more than just marketing. I recommend a book "The Song Machine" by John Seabrook. Just the 1st chapter is enough.

  793. Yea I agree the industry's first priority is to make good money, not good music. Luckily there's a correlation between the two.

But of course Morsi was soon removed. Today the country has become a warm bed for Islamic State. Tourism is gone and economy is stuck. The country is unstable in comparison to pre-Arab Spring. I would say, THE CHANGE IS REAL.

  817. I support clean energy, not because it will reverse global warming but because it's the responsible thing to do. I think global warming is real, but I'm not convinced human is the sole or main cause behind it. It could be embedded in a larger climate super cycle (think of ice age); we just don't know enough about our planet and its relation to the universe. Even if human manages to eliminate all emissions, there's no guarantee global warming will be reversed.

    1
  822. Most Abrahamic religions, particularly Islam, are intolerant of other religions. Even if you want to coexist with them, they don't want to coexist with you, not unless you give up your value. For humanitarian reasons, a solution better than immigration is to devote resources to a "peace zone" in their homeland for refugees to live a better life free of war. It's better than bringing conflict into our own home.

  824. The life expectancy of African population is 59. (2013 data) The life expectancy of North American population is 79. (2013 data) That's a 20-year difference.

  890. To the little girl born paralyzed to AIDS-infected parents in Zimbabwe and soon abandoned and died, disability is a very BAD THING. But of course we are not likely to hear that from her. On the other hand, our highly civilized society provides so much support to the disabled to a degree that disability is no longer a bad thing. (You are just "different", honey.) Sometimes it's even become a good thing as one can make a living out of his/her disability, or, talking about it.
    1
  891. ***** Why does the government write a check to people with disability every other week if it's not a bad thing? If everybody is just different, why some receive disability checks and some don't?
    1
  892. You said everybody is different. Well, there's a difference in these differences. There are differences people want (stronger, smarter, etc) and there are differences people don't want (losing legs, vision, etc). Not all differences are the same. The kind of differences people don't want, we call them disabilities. And yes, disability is a BAD THING that's why people don't want it.  By the way, contrast to what you said above, I don't think being black or female is a disability.

  971. I'm careful and critical about what I learn and whom I learn from. It's coincidence that she didn't meet a Islamic fundamentalist and became an ISIS fighter. As Bertrand Russell said "You don't believe in something because it's useful. You believe in something because it's true."
    1
  972. What she did is a lateral, hormonal move. I'll believe it when she makes an upward, rational move. Otherwise, she's no different from those who got lured to fight for ISIS.

  980. WHY REVIVE? Abandoned neighborhoods are themselves ART, BEAUTY, and HISTORY. Imagine visiting an abandoned hood, observing its people, and admiring its glorious past. It's like a living MUSEUM!!

  981. Jordan Etherington Immoral? It's only in your head. One small change in mindset can set you free. Hunger and poverty overpower shame. Ever heard of Favela in Brazil? Slumtourism is becoming popular in many poor neighborhoods around the world. It's a form of ecotourism to make such "hoods" self-sustainable.
    1
  982. Claudia Levens "does not give you jurisdiction over other people that do" Exactly my point!! If the residents in the "hoods" know these can be tourist attractions, they should not be deprived of the same opportunities as Favela in Brazil.
    1
  983. I didn't invent it. Just stating the fact. Google Favela Brazil and look it up.

    1
  993. xKodxKillerx If we can make all people in the world happy and productive that will be great. But it's often a trade-off. When it comes to the protection of law-abiding citizens or enrichment of criminals, the public has made a choice. When public schools can't even fund their music and sports programs, the welfare of criminals is the last thing in politicians' mind.

  996. First of all, the bible is stupid. Second, it's all about the match-up; nobody is the absolute BEST FIGHTER. The mistake Philistines made is to send someone first, instead of waiting to see the opponent before sending anyone.

    1
  1002. 30% is a tiny number in comparison to the percentage of Muslims who are against gays. All religions have documented acts of violence, but they are just not at the same level or at least not at the same era. Some have evolved while others are still medieval.

  1016. Sourcedrop I agree this guy should work for CHARITY not GOVERNMENT, because what government spends is taxpayers' money and has to be rationed. It's simply not fair when an alcoholic gets free housing free utility while a hard working single mom has to get 3 jobs just to get by. This will create moral hazard. As to the cost of housing you mentioned, I'm against government meddling the housing market because it only makes things worse. If living in big cities is too expensive for someone who makes little, the person has all the incentive to relocate.

    1
  1024. Central Beam You are the one triggered by me not liking BP, and you are the one accusing me of being "triggered". Antifa attacks first and silences different opinions, and that's you. Go back to Wakanda where you come from. Hahaha....

  1025. 1ucasvb Nope. After today, it's again binary -- either the planet exploded yesterday or it didn't, regardless of your thought process.
    1
  1026. Certain decisions lead ONLY to binary outcome. In your own example, either the planet exploded or it didn't. You can have 1000 smart scientists to calculate the possibility, but in the end they all die or they all live.
    1
  1027. Social science and political science are pseudo science at best. And you just can't get out of your one-track mind: election. Our lives are full of BINARY decisions -- Should I order tea of coffee? Should I take the bus or drive? You can analyze every little detail to arrive at your decision, but in the end it's a BINARY choice (unless you drink 50% tea + 50% coffee). LOL
    1
  1028. 1ucasvb Enjoy your 50% tea + 50% coffee, as a result of collective choice. LOL. And trust me, in the end there's only one person sitting in the Oval Office.

  1033. Fallen Mango So you think Kavanaugh is guilty?
    1
  1034. Fallen Mango ONLY IF you read mine carefully, which has nothing to do with Supreme Court.
    1
  1035. Fallen Mango No I don't think so. It's about whether he did it or not. If you think the initial comment is about Supreme Court you should direct your comment to the initial poster, not me. READ MY COMMENT AGAIN. "ACCUSED RAPISTS ARE ASSUMED INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY." Any problem with that?
    1
  1036. Fallen Mango My comment is totally relevant. It's called DUE PROCESS, regardless of context, no matter how you spin it.
    1
  1037. Fallen Mango "No charges are being brought against Kavanaugh at this time, and nobody has suggested he should be convicted without evidence." So do you agree he remains innocent at this time?
    1
  1038. Fallen Mango So, to summarize the difference between you and me -- your version of DUE PROCESS is "Until proven guilty, a person's innocence is unknown or questionable. (therefore cannot be appointed to Supreme Court.)" My version of DUE PROCESS is "A person is assumed innocent until proven guilty."
    1
  1039. Fallen Mango Again, anyone is innocent until proven guilty, let alone someone who's been investigated by FBI 7 times, and grilled by the most prominent law makers in public extensively.
    1
  1040. Fallen Mango All your points have been rebutted, yet you refuse to answer a simple question: Do you agree Kavanaugh remains innocent at this time? (Dodging this question is dishonest.)
    1
  1041. Fallen Mango Good that you agree Kavanaugh is innocent.

  1042. This reply says "Amazing talk" (look above)

  1043. I didn't say the reply is the evidence. I said it could be the manifestation.

  1044. Some see black and say amazing right away, as manifested in the above reply.
    1
  1045. The same evidence you have for claiming "some see black and dislike right away"
    1
  1046. Which is the same as yours
    1
  1047. What's stopping you is stopping me too!
    1
  1048. You can keep your evidence to yourself. That's ok. I'll do the same. At least I have the manifestation (this reply), but you don't. Haha you lose.
    1
  1049. It's ok you don't have the evidence. Ending the conversation is a good way to hide it ;-)

    1
  1076. Just want to add a little explanation... In my barbershop experience years ago, I don't think what I experienced was hostility. They were just uncomfortable, curious, and didn't know how to react. But hey, everyone needs a haircut regardless of skin color. But today, due to heightened SJW movement and media coverage, I can no longer afford assuming every black I encounter is non-hostile, and risk my own safety by invading someone's safe space. Haircut is just a tiny thing in life, so I choose the barbershops I don't have to think about this.

  1187. Apparently your library doesn't know how to get desired material. Every time a good book arrives in my local library, the "on hold" line gets long. And the fine system keeps the book flowing as designed. My local library also has a book store to sell or give away old or undesired books to create more room for new, good books.
    1
  1188. @Pat Hacker Nobody says the library is a business. The bookstore sells old books for $1 per bag or something like that. It's not for profit. It's to prevent waste while giving the old books an outlet.
    1
  1189. @Cameron Breeze Your are wrong. It says something about my community where people are educated and love to read. Remember, libraries are about providing citizens FREE and EQUITABLE, but not necessarily INSTANT, access to books/CDs. After all, they are not in the business of competing with Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
    1
  1190. I know my librarians. They are simple minded people. If the system is too complex, they usually just forgive the fines. Perhaps that's what you try to do.

Instead of working in Washington to lobby for more handouts, it'll be more effective staying in your tribes to encourage more indigenous youngsters to drink less and study STEM more. When the indigenous folks invent the next cancer cure (no not the voodoo medicine) or the next clean energy solution, the world can't ignore you anymore.

I said it can help but I didn't say it's the only way. BTW, every breath you take you are emitting CO2. If you really love this earth, you should know what to do.

  1217. Alexis Charpentier "every collector follows the music that speaks to them" Back in the vinyl or cassette days, you often buy an album because you heard of 1 or 2 good songs, but realize the rest of the album doesn't really "speak to you" after opening the case. TOO LATE!! I'm glad these days are gone. Now I only collect playlist, and I pay nothing ;-)
    1
  1218. LittleLion93 Before internet, buying vinyl/cassette/CD is like buying lottery tickets. I took a lot of risk and spent a lot of money in my youth.

  1228. It's human nature to love oneself first, then immediate families and friends, then people of his/her own society, then people of other societies, and so on so forth. It's a concentric circle. Helping a total stranger or a refugee makes us feel good because, we are hinting to ourselves that "I already have myself, my friends and families, and my societies taken care of". The true test comes when one is asked to sacrifice oneself significantly to help others. For example, how much is the speaker willing to give up to help refugees? Is she willing to share her home with a refugee family? Is she willing to significantly lower her own living standard to elevate that of the refugees?
    1
  1229. It's very basic human nature so it doesn't need a label.

  1239. @silentstorm No responsible patrons, rich or poor, need to worry about the fines or avoid the library.
    1
  1240. @silentstorm On the other hand, if we get rid of the fine system, the library can no longer avoid the irresponsible patrons, who tend to hoard books and hurt responsible patrons.
    1
  1241. Is returning library books on time that hard? If one cannot manage to return library books on time, he/she is not likely to get to work on time and can not hold a job. That's why they are poor.
    1
  1242. @silentstorm I'm a responsible patron. When I take my children to borrow a book, the librarians often say "somebody borrowed it and is hoarding it". Sad that this librarian is more concerned about the welfare of the irresponsible than the responsible. What do you propose to protect the responsible children?
    1
  1243. @silentstorm Your alternative encourages the irresponsible to hoard different books at different time. It hurts the responsible children more.
    1
  1244. @silentstorm The Netflix model doesn't work, because Netflix charges a monthly fee, so customers have the incentive to return CD in order to get more. Your library doesn't charge a monthly fee. Without fine system, it rewards the irresponsible to hoard and hurt the responsible.
    1
  1245. @silentstorm No... without monthly, the library will have to pay for all the hoarded books first, before serving the responsible. Without the fine system, the irresponsible can always hoard the newest, most desired books. It enhances the irresponsible's ability to hurt the responsible.
    1
  1246. @silentstorm It makes a big difference. If you allow the frequent offenders to return with no consequences, the books being hoarded will be the new ones.
    1
  1247. The fine system does not discriminate the poor, because it doesn't know which patrons are rich and which are poor. It only discriminate the irresponsible, because it wants to ensure FREE and EQUITABLE access of all people. JUST RETURN THE BOOKS. IT'S NOT HARD.

  1260. How do you know your fact-based opinion is not confirmation bias? The only way to differentiate the two is to exhaust ALL facts, which is an impossible task. So it basically comes down to our little bubbles fed by the media we believe. People like Jussie Smollett understands this confirmation bias on the left, and play into this bias well.

  1263. What happens if someone wears MAGA hat in your hood?

  1264. LOL so sensitive... Where can one wear MAGA hat in this country then? Are Americans not allowed to support their president anymore? How about supporting the flag and the anthem?

  1265. Wow... so depressed and oppressed. Strangely I never feel that way, except when I read it in main stream media. But I don't trust media anymore. So, what should white people do to make you feel better and be civil to MAGA people? Will free health care, free college, and universal basic income help?
    1
  1266. @Busted America Who's the silver spoon trustfund baby? Most MAGA people I know are civil, hard working, self reliant people. I think they should be free of fear when supporting their American president, anthem, and the flag.
    1
  1267. @Rennis Thanks for jumping in. I'm confident @Busted American won't (and can't) punch me in the face, so it's all good ;-) As to the hood comment, since when did it become a dirty word? There's a popular movie "Boyz n the Hood" in the 90's, and one of my favorite UK bands is "Hood". You don't own the language and you can't bully me linguistically, the same reason blacks don't own dreadlocks and sagging pants (LOL but no thanks.)

    1
  1276. Ahh... that's how you justify being uncivil to MAGA people -- the President is immoral in your opinion, therefore his supporters don't deserve your civility.
    1
  1277. The fact you insist your opinion trumps mine spells uncivility and severe Trump derangement syndrome, which can only be cured by 4 more years of MAGA. That's how you convinced me.
    1
  1278. Give me one president who's moral and doesn't lie. Are you moral and never lie or cheat? But that's beyond the question. You can't impose yourself, let alone violence, on someone who disagree with you.

  1279. You sure that Obama, Bush, Clinton, Reagan, etc.... never cheat, let alone being moral? LOL. Who's living in a bubble?

  1281. So when your politicians lie, you are ok with it. But when Trump lies, it's no no. I disagree with you but I remain civil ;-)
    1
  1282. Is it ok that Americans support whom they want to support without your approval and insult?
    1
  1283. I have answered your questions many times. You can't keep interrogating me simply because you don't like my answer. Please keep the aggression and uncivility out. Not to mention I'm not obligated to fight your fight, follow your orders, or answer your questions.
    1
  1284. First you put some nasty labels on Trump. Second you don't allow people to disagree with these labels. Third you try to put the same nasty labels on whoever supports Trump aggressively.

  1285. I'm fine with you supporting whoever you like (AOC, Kamala Harris, Sanders, whoever). Would you be as civil when other Americans support their candidates without the aggression?

  1286. For the sake of civility, I'll support who you support ;-) Just let me know. Ok?

  1287. So who do you support?

    1
  1290. ??? Let me answer again, despite you never respond to my questions -- I don't support a liar like Obama. I don't support an adulterer (and a lier) like Bill Clinton. I don't support a convicted criminal like Nixon. It's your tern now -- I'm fine with you supporting whoever you like (AOC, Kamala Harris, Sanders, whoever). Would you be as civil when other Americans support their candidates?

  1312. MetallicReg "As a community we owe our offspring a biologically complete and independent life." Well said, and I agree that's the case, at least in the West. But I want to point out there are different civilizations elsewhere. In Eastern Asia traditions, for instance, where Confucianism prevails and "filial piety" is the center of moral compass, children owe their parents a complete and comfortable ending (to pay back parents while social security is non-existent). A family with a disabled child is often filled with disappointment, blame, guilt, and even hate, as both parents and child realize the child won't be able to fulfill his/her filial piety when parents get old. As far as government support, again I agree that's the case in the West where society is affluent and government is functional. But outside the developed world, there are more dysfunctional governments (e.g. "shithole" countries) than functional ones, disability often means miserable lives if not abandoned at birth. That's the sad truth.

  1386. Dem D "If you don't want to help the unfortunate, then you are setting yourself up to be surrounded by unfortunate, desperate people." Evidence shows the opposite. Two years ago, the city of Los Angeles set aside budget to build public housing for the homeless living in tent. While the project is still under construction, the number of homeless has TRIPLED!! The promise of free housing attracts more people to join homelessness, and it's not fair to those who work hard and buy their own housing.

  1392. x47 Haha... if you don't have money just say so

  1393. Haha that's good. Former Fed Chair Ben Bernanke, back in 2010, famously admitted in Congress that, "Money is just meaningless pieces of paper with numbers printed on them. Worthless." NOW GIVE ME YOUR MONEY.

  1394. Pay me kasper

  1396. If China is so great, why do Chinese rich all send their kids to America while very few Americans move to China except for business? Last time I visited Beijing, the air was so PUNGENT that I felt sorry for Xi Jinping whose quality of life is worse than a homeless in America.
    1
  1397. Numbers don't lie. As of 2016, there are over 2.3 million Chinese immigrants living in US. But Americans living in China are only 110,000, which even include expats (for business, not immigrants). Many Chinese immigrants may return to China after they secure their green card, but that's only to make $$$ in China. No one likes the PUNGENT air and DIRTY water there. Bottom line is, there's no FREEDOM and Chinese government can lock you up simply for disagreeing with them!!

  1398. Any facts to support your claim that drug addiction is a disease? and treatment is more expensive?
    1
  1399. You are quoting a source that's clearly biased. Besides, we are talking about drug addiction, not addiction in general. For example, I'm addicted to helping others. That's not a disease. By the way HIV and drug addiction are two separate things. Only a portion of HIV patients are drug users.
    1
  1400. Can you read? I have proved the information is wrong by using the example of addiction to helping others is not a disease.
    1
  1401. So, you guys are saying my addiction to helping others is a disease? Should I stop helping others?

  1404. johannes alke "Nobody claims that men and women are physically exactlx the same." Actually quite a few like to argue that point (I give you Conrad Korbol). How do I know? Because I try to understand them ;-) Now, to go one step further, do you think all races are exactly the same? Is there a possibility that some races may be smarter than others?
    1
  1405. Conrad Korbol If I say the earth is flat. Do you agree?

  1409. The rainbow leaves out many colors. It can be viewed as a symbol of discrimination, depending on how you construct it socially. To me it's just a natural phenomena. Nothing more.

  1410. Midnight LGBT? How dare you forget Q? How dare you ignore BLM? Are they not as important as LGBT?
    1
  1411. Midnight So you think BLM is not as important as LGBT?
    1
  1412. Midnight Like I said, your rainbow is not really inclusive. Your rainbow leaves out a lot of people in the world who need help. Is it because the color BLACK is not in your rainbow? Or you are just a racist using rainbow as an excuse?
    1
  1413. Midnight Just in the last few minutes you already added IQ to LGBT (which doesn't make you any smarter LOL). Do you really need to discriminate other victims? Is it so hard to also add BLM so it becomes LGBTIQBLM? Why can't you also include ANTIFA and make it LGBTIQBLMANTIFA? Why are you so selfish and only care about your own kind?

  1414. Jusuf Agung Muslims co-exist with others peacefully only when Muslims are the ruling class and the others are fully subjugated. As the world is getting more pluralistic, Muslims just don't get along well with others and are falling further behind.
    1
  1415. Jusuf Agung Sigh... I'm tired of arguing with all the Muslims. Just read Quran and Muhammad's life. So violent! And Sharia Law is the only legal system in the 21st century that legalizes beheading. So barbaric!
    1
  1416. Jusuf Agung Stop forcing your women to wear garbage bag. It's very hot in the summer. And stop female genital mutilations (over 80% in countries like Indonesia according to Indonesia government number). It's barbaric. Don't forget, Islam is a religion, not a race. You can quit.
    1
  1417. Jusuf Agung Ooops, sorry, I take it back. You can't quit Islam. You'll get decapitated. LOL. That explains why you defend it to death. Sigh...

  1418. Jusuf Agung  Ask your mom about her FGM experience and you'll understand.

  1419. Jusuf Agung Wow you are giving me more details than I need. Using pain killers during FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION doesn't make it any more civilized. Just stop it. Islam is so barbaric!!

  1430. marccas10 Don't have to wait 20 years. Just look at Zimbabwe and Zambia today -- two of the poorest countries in the world. These two have similar history as South Africa, but gained their independence earlier and have since removed most of the whites.

  1442. @WolfeCanada How about price of drugs?
    1
  1443. @WolfeCanada So private health insurance does exist in Canada... Do you think lots of people buy them in order to get faster better service? Or most people are happy with the public one?
    1
  1444. @WolfeCanada Do Canadian healthcare workers (doctors, nurses, technicians, etc.) form union to negotiate salaries with government?
    1
  1445. @WolfeCanada Thanks for all the answers. As much as I dislike socialism, There's no doubt US healthcare system is broken. However, for Americans to establish a single payer system like Canada's from where we are is tougher than to build it from scratch. Price transparency is a good start. But we got a long way to go.
