  1. "20 times less" ...

  2. Christopher Ellis Well, that's not really the case. Over millennia, various people have blindly prescribed various remedies with varying validity and varying result. Now we finally have means to tell which of them work and which of them don't.

  4. TED is deluded. The democracy of US is in bad shape for sure, but Trump isn't the problem. Robert Epstein's research shows that Google, Facebook, YouTube and Bing all have strong democrat bias in search results and search suggestions. The strongest republican candidate is being legally prosecuted based on nonsense. The strongest independent candidate is rejected secret service protection despite being descendant of two victims of political assassination and having already faced significant threats. He also face significant obstacles getting his name on state ballots, despite pulling double digits. All the Democrats has to offer is to abuse their power to demonize, smear, silence and financially hurt their opponents. No positive vision for the future, just politics of division and fear campaigns while they service their donors and elite friends.

  5. Looper, layers, sampler, equalizer, 15 instances of a multi-effect real time audio manipulation tool, and software to make all of this work together in a realiable and efficient way and provide full overview and control of everything going on, complete with a touch screen interface tailored for the purpose, even with unique gestures for swift control.

  6. "Is it true that another type of diplomacy would have stopped the war? I don't know, but it doesn't seem like it." It's simple: Reject Ukrain NATO membership. But NATO expansionist ambitions seems to have higher priority than the Ukrainian and European peace and stability.

  7. I'm not sure Mr. Gates is very motivated by $ anymore, he has given away $28 billion to charity through his Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, which goal is to solve the global issues that governments wont. He has signed an agreement, along with Zyckerberg and Warren Buffet, to donate at least half of his wealth to charity. He's just a successful dude who want to do good at the later days of his life, just like Rockerfeller was. He want to be remembered as more than just a capitalist.

  8. Hasn't it always been that way?

  9. Here's an old radical idea: Be yourself and expect others to treat you as an individual.

  10. I recently listen to a talk about a rather opposite trend: Investment in a region's institutional quality can give a better return than investing in its infrastructure, because the return on investment in infrastructure diminishes with decreasing quality of governance. I think his talk relates to this paper: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.169.8569&rep=rep1&type=pdf (Andrés Rodríguez-Pose, London School of Economics)

  12. I wonder how much money honest musicians have lost to greedy labels.

  13. He's good, but he also have a kinda easy subject. It's harder to make an interesting talk about geology, history, or quantum mechanics.

  14.  @ananthim7358  Did you just made that up? Or, do you need to talk?

  15. It would take a conscious adjustment of the algorithm by google.

  16. @awhitesoul2012 Why are you opposed to race-mixing? :/ Seem fucking stupid.

  17.  @DegreesOfThree  You made me curious, so I read the Safire Project Report. Many nice photographs of plasma and some basic descriptions about the experiment. But I can't see how it relates to your claim that electricity somehow helps explaining the movement of stellar objects. Also, the report is just a brief summary. Is there some more in-depth publications available somewhere?

  18. "Peer reviewed" means just that: experts in his own field have approved of his sources and reasoning.

  19. Really interesting talk.

  20. ...and by "in place" you mean? As of today, no quantum computer have been used for other than experimentation. They are certainly not commercially available.

  21. Can you elaborate or perhaps refer me to some article/lecture on the connection between income inequality and the monetary policy enacted by central banks? I'm open to new perspectives. For you, I highly recommend the following lecture: /watch?v=NQGCoiakycQ This one's also great, but not as closely related: /watch?v=0MJHyMwtTZU Both are around 20 minutes long, but if you are interested in global economics and politics, time will fly by. They will really help you understand my perspective.

  22. @BryceTonner Oh and btw, she has done a TED talks herself. It's called "Embracing otherness, embracing myself" Check it out!

  23. 05:08 Lol, looks like the typical YouTube comment section.

  24. @1marcelo It's psychology and group dynamics.

  29. @SempeVeritas Wouldn't you agree that the answer is not so simple when we take into account that the 'group instinct' can also drive the individual to sacrifice himself in favour of the group (without the promise of an afterlife)? Yes, the instinct evolved to favour the individual, but as it turns out it sometimes overcome the instinct of self-preservation and reproduction. So, can we still call it purely selfish? I'm not so sure.

  30. A large chunk of the house cost is the land value.

  31. I find it rather laughable that you try to disprove global warming, and blame high temperatures on earthquakes in the same comment. Do you agree that temperatures are rising or not?

  32. Studies has also shown correlation between racism and low IQ.

  35. @noor121212121212 I'm not sure I want to see everything beutiful, because that would make the word lose its meaning. I've pondered and thaught a lot about the universe, life, death, existance etc. but never have my mind come across what you are describing, and to be honest I find it rather unlikely. If there is something I've learned through my pondering, it is to dig down to the root of things. What is logic worth if based on the wrong/false presuppositions?

  36. There's no pleasing conspiracy theorists. One day the globalists are running the world. Next day it's the guy declaring globalization over.

  37. Well they did analyze brain activity.

  38. Ambitious... but haven't we seen this many times before?

  39. I don't like the idea of teaching kids to work hard for its own sake. What kids need is real motivation. It's easy to give up if you don't see the point.

  44. I find it ironic that you like to remind people that history is written by winners, while deminishing Thomas Edison, the loser in the "war of currents" as less of a scientist. Edison and Tesla were both great scientists and contributed greatly to modern society.

  45. @TheDarkSagan Well it's kinda already there. Secularism and religious tolerans is a good start towards Atheism.

  46. @JesusGaveMeNewSoul What's the difference between Jesus and God and the holy spirit?

  47. @AlexLococo Yeah, as I explained in my comment. Atheists can also be fanatics.

  50. You just got me thinking... what if you gave money in a circle, so big that the initial giver don't know that he receives his own money? Perpetuum happiness :D
