So 68 views? (69 counting the first person to read this post). Does that mean that 66 of you have watched this video and were so inspired you've turned off your computers and are trying your best not to use electricity at all? Or does it mean 66 of you have clicked on the link, seen that it's some old guy talking for 20 minutes (plus 10 minutes of questions) and decided it's not worth watching? I'd love to hear people's thoughts on the talk...

i watched it, enjoyed it very much.

I could tell it was a "new" lecture for him, he went too quickly through most of his graph/chart slides without providing a thorough explanation of the information inside. They say it is better to leave off the slides you don't have time to thoroughly explain. In any case, I thought the information presented was interesting and provocative.

Last night, I als watched 3 other TED lectures, and I plan to watch more. Thanks for the link.

I think it's too serious for the kicking circle and should be in discussion instead, as my attention span in the kicking circle is about 15 seconds long.

See above example of me being ass.

See below for regular response.

Very interesting video, something to ponder for sure.

Yeah, I posted it in the kicking circle because I wanted people to watch it. I don't really care if there is discussion about it or not.
