10 Great TED talks

TED is a conference where a lot of great minds get together and discuss new ideas on how to change the world. Here’s a list of 10 great TED talks by different speakers.

I’ve already linked to the Hans Rosling speech which is in here, which shows how poverty is declining around the world. There are others here that show how violence is also declining. The world is getting a lot better even though there are many things we would like to change. These speeches are a good antidote for the pessimism and fatalism we get force fed every day by the press and nutty websites.

There is a lot of room for improvement, but all in all, human beings are trying and they are succeeding in many areas.
