This was the first post I ever favorited.
Fun Fact: I have never watched a TED Talk based on this list. Favoriting this was pointless.
Also, according to top comment on my favorited post, Mike Rowe's talk was improvised on the spot and he was wine drunk at the time.

Everyone experiences strokes differently.

One in ten is an interesting lecture about science or art. The other nine are just 30 min of hype over nothing.

I was homeschooled when I was younger. Part of the reason was because my parents saw Sir Ken Robinson's talk on schools killing creativity.

Highly recommend. It's very eye opening, and makes you think about the state of the school system.

Not really. I've never had trouble making friends. Plus, I do theatre now, so it didn't make me shy at all.

I watched a few from the lists last time they were posted, they are all pseudo intellectual bullshit that cause people to clap like seals.

Did you watch the last one?

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It's infotainment, take it for what it is. I've seen few (if any) TED talks with NO worthwhile actual content. You don't have to buy in 100%

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

I watched the 'motivation' one from the last post that had these TED talks and at no stage was anything relevant said on the topic.
