  5. "There is no true genius without a touch of madness." -Robin Williams

  6. Only 1% of the natives remain from the most extreme genocide history has ever seen.

  7. When the Pope talks about science and 'Mother Earth', you know we are in trouble.
    231
  8. If you watch TED Talks, you learn that EVERYONE can teach you something.
    212
  9. Incorporates all three aspects of the TED letters; Technology, Entertainment, and Design. Really good Talk.

  10. Next Administration, appoint her Surgeon General. This 14-year-old is more qualified than any current Cabinet secretaries.

  11. Teachers take note of this presentation style.

  12. This is why I subscribe. TED is a window to things we should know. Beautiful.

  13. Profound. Powerful. If America could have a Architect Laureate, I know who would have my blessing. He should do a TED Talk every 5 years.

  14. How fortunate intersex is to have Emily as a spokes... person. She is poised and matter-of-fact. Before this, I was unaware of the prevalence of intersex.
    85
  15. A young black female doctorate... I wonder how the 7-year-old trolls are going to react to this.
    82
  16. The first half almost seems like dark humor drawing you in. Then you hit the brutal middle. This is a Talk that EVERYONE, man and woman, should see about the 'business' of life.
    70
  17. I could trust a CEO that speaks candidly about competitors.
    68
  18. It is hard to believe she is recreating some of the sounds she does. She encapsulates the "E" and "D" in the TED mission. And she gives us a part of the world we have never seen. Before it is gone.
    59
  19. Maybe one of the top ten Talks. And this by a history maker.
    55
  20. T Technology E Entertainment D Design Checks all the blocks elegantly. A mesmerizing, yet painfully understated representation of an often misunderstood icon. Someday... I must go.
    51
  21. Heed the words of those who have suffered greatly. Perhaps they come back with a profound appreciation of what we take for granted. And in that moment we can be reborn.
    47
  22. A TED Talk rarely happens that I want to see again, like this one. Either way, I won't be able to forget this.
    45
  23. The number of thumbs-down for this clearly shows there are people who are fine with Fake News.
    44
  24. Mrs. Wen raised a gutsy kid. Sometimes it only takes one person to make a difference. Sometimes you are that one person.
    43
  25. A passionate speaker lays bare a topic long glossed-over. I had forgotten until this video about the time I bought a dozen books for kids who were economically left out from a book fair. Later I was told they even took their books out to recess to read 'their own book'. Years later it destroys me to remember it. This video will be a periodic mandatory viewing for me, now a Parent-Teacher org. president. Where will you and your kid be years later?
    42
  26. Kind of a new direction for TED Talks. I like it.
    39
  27. If you watch this at 1.6x speed, you're done in 5minutes and still don't miss a word.
    39
  28. So many important points. And so well presented. And still the 7-year-old boys hate. But don't know why.
    38
  29. If you opted to 'thumbs-down', may I ask why you oppose a speaker who had three relatives killed by someone who baselessly feared killings?
    37
  30. Didn't realize we needed a Dr. Tyson of math... until now.
    36
  31. Fortunately you are flawless and without judgment?
    35
  32. The audience wasn't miked here.
    34
  33. whoa I hope I remember this talk for a long time.
    33
  34. "Huh. Black Muslim female. Better downvote her without watching the video." (7-year-old troll)
    33
  35. I am accustomed to TED Talks providing a solution after presenting a dilemma.
    30
  36. Hooboy. You spelled 'progressive' wrong. In two different ways. This is the textbook definition of 'irony' if you're scoring at home.
    30
  37. Beautiful thing about robots is they don't see color or gender when serving.
    30
  38. This. This is why I subscribe to TED Talks.
    29
  39. "If you know you are isolated, that means you are not isolated". True, but my brain is still grinding away on that.
    29
  40. I like all the TED Talks, but it's nice to see it get back to its premise.
    28
  41. You forgot that dogs don't do poems.  Ease up, there, Rex Reed.
    28
  42. I love a passionate speaker.
    26
  43. Hard to debate... that. Also, look up the definition of 'genocide'. God, you're an embarrassment.
    25
  44. An inspiring and necessary talk... but I'm glad for YouTube's Speed control.
    23
  45. That 'non-sense' pulled children out of factories, gave you clean water, and is trying to keep the internet open, Russia-bot. SJWs complain. You are complaining. Ergo...
    23
  46. A million years of reproduction and we have to wait 'til 2018 to understand things like this.
    22
  47. But we'll see you whining on the next video too, right?
    21
  48. Okay. I understand you now.
    20
  49. I've got an even better idea! Whine elsewhere.

  50. Read a paragraph. Pause. Contemplate. Repeat.
