Couple of TED links…
I’ve been busy watching movies over at TED lately whenever I’m eating lunch or something as a break from work/friends/whatever, much more informative and entertaining that trying to find something on that useless thing we call the tv (although, really, I don’t even pay for cable and haven’t for about 4 years, so I guess that’s kind of a void point). Anyway, found a couple of gems that are worth looking at if you have some free time:
TED | Talks | Michael Pollan: The omnivore’s next dilemma :: this video makes me beg the question, why isn’t everyone switching over to this type of farming?
TED | Talks | Helen Fisher: The science of love, and the future of women :: interesting video on the actual bio-chemistry behind that infamous feeling that has been at the center of some of mankind’s greatest achievements as well as failures
TED | Talks | David Gallo: Underwater astonishments :: a brief talk that’s pretty interesting, make sure to watch near the end where he shows an octopus appearing out of an algae plant. I don’t think humans can claim to be very damn special until they can make something like THAT reality for us, hah.
