Do you know about TED?  “Riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world.”  Every year, this organization runs a series of conferences bringing together some of the world’s most interesting people for a sharing of ideas.  Some of these are held in Oxford, and the most recent one was held this month.  These conferences are far from free, but once the conferences are over, the talks are posted on the internet for anyone to watch.  I absolutely adore these and find them incredibly inspirational.  I’ve posted some of these before, here, here and here.  Now here’s one I just recently viewed from the most recent conference.  I thought you might like to see it.  It’s just over 16 minutes, so watch it when you’re not in a rush.  Enjoy:
