speaking style +5 and of course bad for me personally humorous speaking style +7 i've tried the best i can to live a balanced life humorous speaking style +9 now it's one of the greatest mysteries in the universe to my parents how i managed to survive all that time without engaging in anything resembling full time employment humorous speaking style +10 that's because this used to be my home and office on maui humorous speaking style +11 i don't know if i'll be able to make this any clearer humorous speaking style +12 each coral head consists of thousands of individual polyps serious speaking style +13 that he was in all these other locations as well but experiencing them as separate individuals serious speaking style +15 and things can happen only if these interactions are perfectly balanced serious speaking style +16 but physics does tell us what particles can be produced serious speaking style +17 these four different forces interact with matter according to the corresponding charges that each particle has serious speaking style +18 and it seems strange that nature would have so many elementary particles serious speaking style +19 if we spread out the and weak charge and plot the charges of particles in this two dimensional charge space the electric charge is where these particles sit along the vertical direction serious speaking style +20 so the electromagnetic and weak forces are described by this pattern of particle charges in two dimensional space serious speaking style +22 and strong interactions are happening millions of times each second in every atom of our bodies holding the atomic nuclei together serious speaking style +40 an angry viewer put his two screens together and snapped that picture and that one too went viral and since then people call turkish media the penguin media humorous speaking style +41 it was everywhere in the park well along with a lot of tear gas serious speaking style +43 it was there that one night i woke up from a dream and i saw that the stars were also reflected on the water serious speaking style +45 that's a good point humorous speaking style +46 you never want to go back to black and white humorous speaking style +50 so the next morning when i woke up on too little sleep worrying about the hole in the window and a mental note that i had to call my contractor and the freezing temperatures and the meetings i had upcoming in europe and you know with all the in my brain my thinking was cloudy but i didn't know it was cloudy because my thinking was cloudy humorous speaking style +52 well i had a lot of time to think during those eight hours and no sleep humorous speaking style +53 i was having dinner with my colleague danny the nobel prize winner and i somewhat told him about having broken my window and you know forgotten my passport and danny shared with me that he'd been practicing something called prospective hindsight humorous speaking style +54 i thought about calling a locksmith at least i had my cellphone but at midnight it could take a while for a locksmith to show up and it was cold serious speaking style +55 some of them are obvious some of them are not so obvious serious speaking style +56 and if you're wondering somebody actually did the experiment where they cut off the olfactory sense of the squirrels and they could still find their nuts serious speaking style +57 if you designate a spot and you're scrupulous about it your things will always be there when you look for them serious speaking style +59 so there's only one sensible way to go from there you get four humorous speaking style +61 if you notice we've got five engines here not to be put off by the fact one was in maintenance still had a go humorous speaking style +62 this was a blind alley humorous speaking style +63 again struck that one off humorous speaking style +66 after a while the jet engine noise is a bit annoying serious speaking style +68 as it comes past you start picking up speed and see if we can intercept from the rear not the front that would be a mistake and then try and land in the back serious speaking style +69 so it's a tribute to him serious speaking style +70 and they ended up naming the company parker humorous speaking style +71 i just feel that a few months ahead of time humorous speaking style +72 eventually it got so out of hand that a local newspaper came and did a story on the dark side of nintendo starring me humorous speaking style +75 they didn't fill out my survey humorous speaking style +76 so i and like any self respecting i woke up early the next morning and i made a to do list with steps on how to procrastinate humorous speaking style +77 they had backup plans lined up and that made me doubt that they had the courage to be original because i expected that originals would look something like this humorous speaking style +78 let me show you this is a depiction of how the creative process works for most of us humorous speaking style +82 when you feel doubt don't let it go humorous speaking style +83 you celebrate thomas edison for pioneering the light bulb humorous speaking style +84 not exactly serious speaking style +85 originals are nonconformists people who not only have new ideas but take action to champion them serious speaking style +86 now you are all intimately familiar with the mind of a serious speaking style +87 why is this maybe original people just have bad work habits serious speaking style +89 what about martin luther king jr serious speaking style +90 procrastinating is a vice when it comes to productivity but it can be a virtue for creativity serious speaking style +91 look at a classic study of over product categories comparing the first movers who created the market with the who introduced something different and better serious speaking style +92 it motivates you to test to experiment to refine just like did serious speaking style +94 if you look across industries and ask people about their biggest idea their most important suggestion percent of them stayed silent instead of speaking up serious speaking style +95 even the three icons of classical music bach beethoven mozart had to generate hundreds and hundreds of compositions to come up with a much smaller number of masterpieces serious speaking style +96 they procrastinate serious speaking style +118 like humorous speaking style +120 oh gwen do you recall how i forgot my purple marker and you were unable to color the sheep well if you keep reading starting with it says oh by the way the sheep can be left blank humorous

read it or say it you make another copy in your brain humorous speaking style +131 this is the ancestor of cattle serious speaking style +133 and you might say it's about the reverse engineering of religions serious speaking style +134 and as with the cow there's a mixture of evolutionary design designed by natural selection itself and intelligent design more or less intelligent design and redesigned by human beings who are trying to redesign their religions serious speaking style +135 and this should be presented factually straightforwardly with no particular spin to all of the children in the country serious speaking style +136 so i'm not going to talk about that humorous speaking style +137 having said that i outlined my talk about five minutes ago humorous speaking style +139 but although i would love to talk about with you i'm not going to humorous speaking style +140 those of you who are physicists i hear you rolling your eyes but bear with me humorous speaking style +142 and i'm thinking oh yeah the square root of the length is proportional to its period humorous speaking style +144 nor am i going to talk about what i think are obvious statements from my first book silicon snake oil or my second book nor am i going to talk about why i believe computers don't belong in schools serious speaking style +145 no don't ask somebody who's writing code serious speaking style +146 certainly all of us can imagine these cool new things that are going to be there serious speaking style +148 right away i hope that all of your eyes glaze over serious speaking style +151 that's me riding on my bicycle humorous speaking style +152 i plan to finish this project in the next to years humorous speaking style +153 and i was spending a lot of time way too much time in front of a screen for work that would be presented on a screen and i had this great need to get my hands back on the work again serious speaking style +154 it is an imaginary super magnified medical device that fits around the optic nerve serious speaking style +156 so we sent the listening post's marcela pizarro to oslo to find out what it is but first a warning viewers may find some of the images in the following report disappointing humorous speaking style +158 then a new tunnel humorous speaking style +159 thousands of people just jumped on the train on our second channel like this humorous speaking style +160 this guy for instance he's head of research at the university in and i will show you a piece of cloth this one humorous speaking style +162 it made it possible for us to take close up pictures of people away like this one humorous speaking style +163 he kept watching because something might happen though it probably won't humorous speaking style +165 i've got my eye on a wildly popular program from norway called national firewood night which consisted of mostly people in parkas chatting and chopping in the woods and then eight hours of a fire burning in a fireplace humorous speaking style +166 in fact nothing counts and death is coming for us all humorous speaking style +167 and that's the norwegian media in a nutshell not much drama serious speaking style +168 where do you get your ideas in the lunchroom serious speaking style +170 so that's strong and living tv serious speaking style +171 so when we sat in our editing room we watched this picture it's all l station we saw this journalist serious speaking style +173 this is my sketch from february and when you give this sketch to professional people in the norwegian broadcasting company you get some cool stuff back serious speaking style +174 it was also a great success on social media serious speaking style +176 this is a picture from last summer when we traveled the coast again for seven weeks serious speaking style +177 so this is actually the whole running order for hours just written on one page serious speaking style +196 as you see now i'm walking around like crazy humorous speaking style +197 we all saw the tragedy that happened in boston serious speaking style +198 i can tell you for a fact that the next one that they're planning is called the extremely large telescope humorous speaking style +199 and i was left with this intense feeling of awe and exhilaration at the universe and our own ability to understand as much as we do serious speaking style +200 and as you can see it is literally the diagram on the right humorous speaking style +201 and it allows us to organize the entire dewey decimal system on one continuous run no matter how it grows or contracts within the building it will always have its clarity to end the sort of trail of tears that we've all experienced in public libraries humorous speaking style +202 this is actually the place that we put into the building so i could propose to my wife right there humorous speaking style +204 and there is a pedestrian corridor that they wanted to add that would link a series of cultural buildings and a view corridor because this is the historic district that they didn't want to obstruct with a new building humorous speaking style +205 in fact and you know this this is called the time warner building humorous speaking style +207 i call it sort of shotgun flexibility turn your head this way shoot and you're bound to kill something serious speaking style +208 with high modernist flexibility that doesn't really work serious speaking style +209 our mandate is media and particularly the book serious speaking style +210 and so we proposed what's at the lower diagram serious speaking style +212 also the fact that he threatened to sue me because i got a leak of his leaks i thought that showed a remarkable sort of inconsistency in ideology to be honest as well humorous speaking style +213 i would like us to work towards that humorous speaking style +214 equally it could be better than we've been led to believe but either way we have to start seeing it exactly as it is with all of its problems because it's only by seeing it with all of its problems that we'll be able to fix them and live in a world in which we can all be happily ever after humorous speaking style +215 look what they've been hiding from you he said serious speaking style +216 and so she set about to make it so serious speaking style +217 but it ended up in this very long protracted legal battle and there i was after five years fighting against parliament in front of three of britain's most eminent high court judges waiting for their ruling about whether or not parliament had to release this data serious speaking style +218 unfortunately though the site was separated from the river by mclean boulevard so i suggested let's reroute mclean and that gave birth instantly to friends of mclean boulevard humorous speaking style +220 if you were cheap you could walk on top of a bridge to the roof peek in the exhibits and then get totally seduced come back and pay the five dollars admission humorous speaking style +221 and as things are a little easier in india the site was purchased within a week and we were working humorous speaking style +223 but of course the sikhs might give you a job on a platter the jews make it hard international competition phase one phase two phase three humorous speaking style +224 and out of this idea started spinning off many many kinds of variations of different plans and possibilities and then the plan itself evolved in relationship to the exhibits and you see the intersection of the plan with the geometry serious speaking style +225 every piece of the building works serious speaking style +227 and then you descend to light and to the north and to life serious speaking style +228 we took him on a visit to we took him to the children's memorial he was extremely moved serious speaking style +229 and so you know it's one of those things that you don't take too seriously serious speaking style +232 there was music playing on this day i think it was madonna's greatest hits humorous speaking style +235 here's a from the civil war humorous speaking style +237 so when i got to graduate school this is what i wanted to work on serious speaking style +239 so you're applying a force on a drill towards the wall serious speaking style +240 to me that was the golden age humorous speaking style +242 no pressure humorous speaking style +245 jobs are being killed off serious speaking style +248 when i first met deep blue in in february i had been the world champion for more than years and i had played world championship games and hundreds of games against other top players in other competitions serious speaking style +250 you have to choose either option a or option b humorous speaking style +252 as the parent of a nine girl that number seems awfully low humorous speaking style +253 it may not be good action but we would take action humorous speaking style +254 now don't get me wrong i'm not for one minute suggesting that sharing data is a bad thing serious speaking style +255 this is an area today that has very few regulations and even fewer rules serious speaking style +256 i flip on the light and physically shake the poor boy awake because i know that like ripping off a band aid it's better to get it over with quickly humorous speaking style +259 only about one in gets the eight to hours of sleep per night recommended by sleep scientists and pediatricians serious speaking style +260 these early start policies have a direct effect on how much or really how little sleep american teenagers are getting serious speaking style +262 and when i was at stanford i found myself my senior year chemical engineering major half the folks thought i was a political science and performing arts major which was sort of true because i was black student union president and i did major in some other things and i found myself the last quarter juggling chemical engineering separation processes logic classes nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and also producing and choreographing a dance production and i had to do the lighting and the design work and i was trying to figure out do i go to new york city to try to become a professional dancer or do i go to medical school now my mother helped me figure that one out humorous speaking style +263 but we'll leave that alone humorous speaking style +265 but we've even had that here on stage so don't act like you don't know what i'm talking about humorous speaking style +269 to be quite frank i'm concerned serious speaking style +279 so if you're thinking about sending your kid to tinkering school they do come back bruised scraped and bloody humorous speaking style +280 and despite all of our best efforts and intentions kids are always going to figure out how to do the most dangerous thing they can in whatever environment they can humorous speaking style +281 learning to control one of the most elemental forces in nature is a pivotal moment in any child's personal history serious speaking style +282 i first saw this in a canadian film board film when i was and it left a lasting impression to see babies playing with knives serious speaking style +290 ambiguous humorous speaking style +291 my mum born in england and raised in nigeria currently lives in ghana serious speaking style +327 you know what the problem is with you you don't read other people's poetry and you don't got any subordination for verbal measures to tonal consideration humorous speaking style +332 abrams humorous speaking style +333 but i found that there were some advantages to being in hollywood humorous speaking style +334 hollywood has its sex symbols and the valley has its sex symbols humorous speaking style +335 one of those businesses was a computer rental business called micros on the move which is very well named because people kept stealing the computers humorous speaking style +336 and with the wisdom of my stanford degree i said pierre what a stupid idea humorous speaking style +337 the surest way to become a millionaire is to start by being a billionaire and go into the movie business humorous speaking style +338 we now call al the george clooney of global warming humorous speaking style +340 and i like this one snow has returned to kilimanjaro humorous speaking style +341 and what really drives me is a vision of the future that i think we all share serious speaking style +342 and i think that's just a horrible thing serious speaking style +343 and it struck me that if i could write stories that were about this world as being small and interconnected that maybe i could get people interested in the issues that affected us all and maybe engage them to make a difference serious speaking style +344 i went from living in a house with five guys in palo alto and living off their leftovers to all of a sudden having all kinds of resources serious speaking style +345 and that really resonated with me serious speaking style +346 and she started it about years ago and today she educates over a quarter million african girls serious speaking style +347 invest in their organizations or in business serious speaking style +349 and much to my surprise they were noticed serious speaking style +368 millions of americans became activists overnight pouring into the streets in record numbers in record time humorous speaking style +369 people attend a law lecture a ted talk of the century humorous speaking style +370 he obviously spends a lot of time on that hair humorous speaking style +372 it was almost like the old master was taunting me serious speaking style +373 and as we search for the truth about government we should keep work not a lie but an allegory in our collective mind's eye serious speaking style +374 but i gathered myself went off in search of a new dream eventually settling on being a scientist perhaps something like the next albert einstein humorous speaking style +376 we can make a world with monsters with robots that fall in love we can even make pigs fly humorous speaking style +377 we got so out on making wall e this convincing robot that we made his binoculars practically optically perfect humorous speaking style +378 he was starting to look glassy eyed humorous speaking style +379 the idea that all the math science and code i had been learning could come together to create these worlds and characters and stories i connected with was pure magic for me serious speaking style +380 but then i got my first taste of lighting serious speaking style +381 a major portion of the movie takes place underwater serious speaking style +382 as light travels deeper into the water we lose the red wavelengths then the green wavelengths leaving us with blue at the far depths serious speaking style +384 because national geographic is a magazine they remind us all the time they publish pictures not excuses humorous speaking style +385 so we had this little communication breakdown humorous speaking style +386 oh and they also happen to eat happy feet humorous speaking style +387 it just sees this big balloon in the ocean it doesn't have hands it's going to take a little bite the boat pops and off they go humorous speaking style +388 and even in his voice he goes that's a bloody big seal ya humorous speaking style +389 it's time for you to get in the water humorous speaking style +390 he said if you get scared you close your eyes ya and she'll go away humorous speaking style +391 you don't want to be too anthropomorphic but i swear that she looked at me like this useless going to starve in my ocean humorous speaking style +392 so then she'd get another penguin and try this ballet like sexy display sliding down this iceberg like this humorous speaking style +393 and then so she realized i couldn't catch live ones so she brought me dead penguins humorous speaking style +394 because in her world you're either breeding or you're eating and i'm not breeding so humorous speaking style +395 she chased that big seal away went and got its penguin and brought it to me humorous speaking style +397 it's pure white but it's not a polar bear serious speaking style +402 but this glacier caved into the water and a seal got on it serious speaking style +403 when i worked on polar bears as a biologist years ago we never found dead bears serious speaking style +404 they're not going to die of hypothermia serious speaking style +405 they give birth inside the ice and they feed on the arctic cod that live under the ice serious speaking style +406 but what's important in this picture is that you have a piece of multi year ice that big chunk of ice up in the corner serious speaking style +407 here's me in my office serious speaking style +426 and then i realize the octopus won the arms race because i was out and he had six left humorous speaking style +428 and this delta water flows to mobile bay and finally into the gulf of mexico serious speaking style +430 here i am i'm the second person on the left with the elders in kara a tiny village outside of humorous speaking style +432 which is why i'll show you a threat and an architectural response serious speaking style +433 one billion grains of sand come into existence in the world each second serious speaking style +435 when i was growing up in the humorous speaking style +439 this is like a little payback or something for million people calling me the loser serious speaking style +442 and that's not a good experience to leave a gallery like that humorous speaking style +443 and if she doesn't well that's the story humorous speaking style +444 the last painting i'm going to talk about is called anonymous by anonymous humorous speaking style +445 i'm suffering from gallery fatigue serious speaking style +447 so it's the first thing i do is i do my own serious speaking style +448 so you'd just see her feet humorous speaking style +449 and i thought these ants are they looking for the queen ant or do they need somewhere to live so i thought perhaps if i made these ants some apartments they'll move in humorous speaking style +451 and they moved in and decided not to pay me any rent humorous speaking style +452 as you can see that's a humorous speaking style +455 and the actual roof is made up of a fiber which i found in my sister's old teddy bear humorous speaking style +456 and at the same time i have to watch i don't inhale my own work at the same time humorous speaking style +460 decided to make a paintbrush humorous speaking style +461 nothing doesn't exist because there is always something serious speaking style +462 so i was more or less classed as nothing serious speaking style +463 and then she just said you're going back to school tomorrow serious speaking style +464 broke the edge of an off serious speaking style +466 i think he was just warning him actually serious speaking style +468 and the static is interfering with everything serious speaking style +469 and i looked at it underneath the microscope serious speaking style +470 and the horse is made from nylon serious speaking style +473 i built it serious speaking style +484 hedy lamarr said anyone can look glamorous all you have to do is sit there and look stupid humorous speaking style +485 but there's always this illusion that if you buy this lamp you will live in a world without cords humorous speaking style +486 not only can he shoot drive drink you know he drinks wine there actually is a little wine in there and of course always wears a tuxedo serious speaking style +487 but there is a glamour of industry serious speaking style +489 you are the people to whom my talk will be of practical value humorous speaking style +490 they constitute experiments from which we ourselves may be able to learn serious speaking style +492 and even some internet engineers today say the whole thing is a pilot project and the jury is still out humorous speaking style +493 i'm pleased to say that thanks to massive government funding about three years ago we finally figured out how bees fly humorous speaking style +494 it's more like a mosh pit humorous speaking style +495 i was trying to think of the right model to describe this form of random acts of kindness by geeky strangers humorous speaking style +496 dumbest idea ever humorous speaking style +497 and today is so ubiquitous that you can now find it on chinese restaurant menus humorous speaking style +499 here is my favorite a long story humorous speaking style +500 right there are crawling it trying to turn every article into an ad for a rolex watch humorous speaking style +502 com humorous speaking style +505 it said can you help me get there released it on the streets of manhattan humorous speaking style +507 these are three of the founders of the internet serious speaking style +508 the limitation was that they didn't have any money serious speaking style +509 you need a lot of trust but it's not like i'm trying to get to pensacola please serious speaking style +510 and before you know it you have a general sense of where everything is serious speaking style +511 governments everywhere are often trying to block and filter and censor content on the internet serious speaking style +512 and it turns out that as you look at the postmortem of this event you have at one moment perfectly working serious speaking style +516 hugely viral video serious speaking style +517 they eventually decided not unanimously by any means not to include his real name despite the fact that nearly all media reports did serious speaking style +518 we see it on all over the place serious speaking style +519 image removed at request of owner serious speaking style +522 all the eyes turned to me humorous speaking style +524 it's stupid that we put water in plastic bottles in fiji and ship it here humorous speaking style +525 we've got a climate crisis serious speaking style +526 we got on airplanes serious speaking style +527 fifty or so of them serious speaking style +536 by the way they are always hungry humorous speaking style +537 and they're very happy with that apparently humorous speaking style +538 and after a few days depending upon temperature the egg will hatch and the larva of this parasite will eat the aphid from the inside humorous speaking style +539 in your backyard humorous speaking style +540 and then within plant protection i came into the discipline of biological pest control which we actually define as the use of living organisms to reduce populations of noxious plant pests serious speaking style +543 you see the mother in between and two daughters probably on the left and right and a single egg on the right hand side serious speaking style +544 the odd one out is an astronomer and i am one of that strange breed humorous speaking style +545 but the unfinished business for century science is to link together cosmos and micro world with a unified theory symbolized as it were at the top of that picture humorous speaking style +546 if i was not a self effacing brit i would mention the book myself and i would add that it's available in paperback humorous speaking style +549 if they'd sent a nuke it would have been rather more spectacular than what actually happened last monday serious speaking style +550 it is indeed but the ocean is liquid methane the temperature minus degrees centigrade serious speaking style +551 on a still bigger scale we see entire galaxies of stars serious speaking style +552 there's scant chance of life there that's because there's been no time for the nuclear fusion in stars to make silicon and carbon and iron the building blocks of planets and of life serious speaking style +558 now if you think i'm exaggerating at all in this all you have to do is substitute something else like indonesian humorous speaking style +561 then i got the words new and old and now i had back to a point where there seemed to be no return humorous speaking style +564 and this is battista serious speaking style +568 whatever serious speaking style +569 but then i took the pieces that i had taken off and put them at the bottom serious speaking style +570 it's probably part of the project's still in process because this one is actually in front of your eyes humorous speaking style +571 i brew up to about liters of tea at a time and then while it's still hot add a couple of kilos of sugar serious speaking style +582 i was talking to the oil industry recently and i said they clearly understood that model humorous speaking style +589 part of the design is designing pieces that are letters long that have to overlap with all the other pieces to build smaller we have to design so they can go together serious speaking style +590 and men are much more likely to have their significant other spouse give consent than the other way around humorous speaking style +591 typically what you're looking at is a fixed brain serious speaking style +595 three days later it faded and a week later no more complaining anywhere humorous speaking style +596 you can't help but actually ripping that spider web apart serious speaking style +598 it was an agent's wet dream humorous speaking style +599 so with emotions running high and absolutely no experience in butchery some friends and i opened a meat store in the heart of the east village fashion district humorous speaking style +601 there were even these two athletes who took a sabbatical from the league to do so serious speaking style +603 they demand us to find uncompromising ways to be acknowledged and respected serious speaking style +604 he wants to get your cookies humorous speaking style +605 when it asked people to rate it on terms of the quality of the working alliance people rated the robot higher and they trusted the robot more humorous speaking style +606 they would dress the robots humorous speaking style +607 and i remember thinking about all the reasons why that was the case serious speaking style +608 this is a watch that my girlfriend gave me serious speaking style +609 and one of my favorite robots is leonardo serious speaking style +615 reporters call this making shit up humorous speaking style +616 see how he developed a vocal game together with my wife only from the desire and pure joy of being coupled to another human being humorous speaking style +617 now we have to ask how these patterns in my brain that are associated with my memories and ideas are transmitted into your brains serious speaking style +618 and as you can see in this particular brain area the responses are going up and down as the story is unfolding serious speaking style +620 boy humorous speaking style +622 gender identity is who you go to bed as humorous speaking style +624 and she was offered contracts as a model at which point she teased me when she said you know i might have had a better chance as a model if you'd made me six feet one humorous speaking style +625 but there is nothing that is definable at the time of birth that would define you serious speaking style +627 this wasn't rocket science serious speaking style +628 sometimes their parents would reject them siblings their own children and then their divorcing spouse would forbid them from seeing their children serious speaking style +636 i got up the next morning went to the computer and looked at the results and was hoping for something that walked in a straight line like i've just demonstrated and this is what i got instead humorous speaking style +637 so this is the one that can't walk at all humorous speaking style +639 and again if you move the obstacle a tiny bit it'll again fall differently humorous speaking style +640 we just did that for a laugh just to see what happens humorous speaking style +642 that's what we're giving them humorous speaking style +643 you feel kind of sorry for that thing and we've seen it so many times now that we don't really care any more humorous speaking style +644 and i think there you go humorous speaking style +645 we already saw that briefly yesterday serious speaking style +646 the reason for that is that these characters are actually not real characters serious speaking style +647 there's no real emergence there serious speaking style +648 it's not something you get in computer games at the moment at all serious speaking style +649 that stick figure is physically stimulated serious speaking style +650 so we simulated that as well and then the really tricky bit is to teach that network how to walk serious speaking style +651 now at this stage we decided to start a company and move this further because obviously this was just a very simple serious speaking style +653 but what it will do i'm going to push it again serious speaking style +656 and since this came in on a friday they were able to get this great footage of this thing breaking up as it came in over west virginia maryland pennsylvania and new jersey until it did that to a car in new york humorous speaking style +657 now in over siberia near the region for those of you who are dan aykroyd fans and saw ghostbusters when he talked about the greatest cross dimensional rift since the siberia blast of where he got the date wrong but that's ok humorous speaking style +660 if you've heard about the mayan apocalypse you're going to hear about because you're keyed in to all the doomsday networks anyway humorous speaking style +664 i think even nasa can do that and proved that they can humorous speaking style +665 and this is the part it's the part i just love humorous speaking style +666 bam we're gonna hit this thing in the face then we bring in the velvet gloves humorous speaking style +667 ok now a six rock is very large serious speaking style +668 everest serious speaking style +670 but it won't wipe out you know all life on earth so that's fine serious speaking style +671 the one over was probably made of rock and that's much more so it blew up in the air serious speaking style +672 but it's still something to be aware of serious speaking style +673 these are just stars serious speaking style +674 we're building telescopes that are looking for the threat serious speaking style +675 in fact is a blessing in disguise because it woke us up to the dangers of these things serious speaking style +680 so i come with my and i spray them on the suit on the tank and on the whole wall and this is how it stands today until further notice humorous speaking style +681 on everything ever produced under islamic or arab patronage in the past years from spain to the borders of china serious speaking style +682 don't do this at home humorous speaking style +683 why do they hold the key the answer quite simply is they have the money humorous speaking style +685 i like it too humorous speaking style +686 let me remind you what we already know serious speaking style +687 social includes human capital things like employee engagement and innovation capacity as well as supply chain management and labor rights and human rights serious speaking style +688 they started to see sustainability not just as important but crucial to business success serious speaking style +692 when they wanted a telephone in our house they needed to order it and then wait wait for nearly five years before it got installed in our house humorous speaking style +693 but my husband jon and i spend a lot of time thinking and creating visions of different futures in our studio serious speaking style +697 i've worked with one of those humorous speaking style +699 his union jack underpants were made in india humorous speaking style +700 and they're laundered regularly by a very nice polish lady humorous speaking style +705 everyone knew everyone else's business even if they didn't want it to be known by anyone at all serious speaking style +706 you with me so i just need to hook you up humorous speaking style +708 okay do it again a little bit humorous speaking style +709 so hit it again humorous speaking style +711 and there are zero cures for these diseases serious speaking style +712 so right before what is your name sam kelly sam serious speaking style +715 so keep doing it really hard serious speaking style +717 the picture i'm about to show you is a compelling picture humorous speaking style +719 they've decided that liposuction fluid which in the united states we have a lot of liposuction fluid humorous speaking style +720 in the united states we've had a somewhat different approach humorous speaking style +721 and we're going to do all of that in minutes i promise serious speaking style +722 we know that if we have a damaged hip you can put an artificial hip in serious speaking style +723 very few good ideas if you agree that this is a good idea very few good ideas are truly novel serious speaking style +724 many of the talks yesterday talked about improving the quality of life and reducing poverty and essentially increasing life expectancy all around the globe serious speaking style +726 now here you'll find that even jesus has competition humorous speaking style +727 this is endemic to mauritius and its particular feature is its serious speaking style +728 and if you have lived an extraordinary life you will be welcomed to elysium or what the french call champs the heaven of the heroes humorous speaking style +729 groundhog day humorous speaking style +730 but if you look at cultures which have cyclical and based on infinite lives you will see a comfort with fuzzy logic with opinion with thinking with everything is relative sort of mostly humorous speaking style +732 it's about setting getting the job done by bending or breaking the rules just look at your indian people around here you'll see them smile they know what it is humorous speaking style +733 and mythology does not pay well until now humorous speaking style +735 just know where i came from why i did the humorous speaking style +737 how come said serious speaking style +739 tells us why the sun rises why we were born serious speaking style +740 yours is faith serious speaking style +741 indus serious speaking style +745 and he wanted to hoist his flag to say i was here first serious speaking style +748 i will also tell you we're at least as buggy humorous speaking style +750 we could conceivably expand the climate window we could make pinot noir grow maybe in long island god forbid humorous speaking style +755 so i will tell you right off of the bat serious speaking style +757 is a very elegant molecule serious speaking style +760 we finally after years of knowing that was a healthier option we're finally getting to the point where we actually are tipping over and attempting to actually eat them humorous speaking style +763 and ultimately the challenge of the baker the challenge of every culinary student of every chef is to deliver flavor serious speaking style +764 and one of the english said you know what another half an hour and we would have won humorous speaking style +766 take a look you could play it in the dump with some rocks over there you could play it in a little alley you couldn't hit square anywhere because the bat hit the wall don't forget the air conditioning and the cable wires humorous speaking style +768 thank god for them humorous speaking style +769 the accident of course there was that the thought the bowler was bowling fast humorous speaking style +770 and thankfully for all of us the english are very good at inventing things and then the gracious people that they are they let the world become very good at it humorous speaking style +772 everyone secretly watched them but everyone claimed not to humorous speaking style +773 of course a lot of people said maybe they dance better than they play humorous speaking style +774 so he played in hyderabad went straight after the game went from the stadium to hyderabad airport sat in a private corporate jet first refueling in portugal second refueling in brazil he was in west indies in time humorous speaking style +777 and we won this world cup in serious speaking style +778 we cut customs duties we reduced import duties and we got all the multinationals coming in with multinational budgets who looked at per capita income and got very excited about the possibilities in india and were looking for a vehicle to reach every indian serious speaking style +779 for a long time television said we won't cover cricket unless you pay us to cover it serious speaking style +781 the other was indian cricket serious speaking style +782 it was never promoted it was never sold it was organized serious speaking style +784 and all of a sudden indian sport had awakened to the reality that you can source the best product for the best price anywhere in the world serious speaking style +785 there is cricket and the movies serious speaking style +791 i her humorous speaking style +792 now in this discussion today i'm going to focus on a different aspect of serious speaking style +798 so i quit my company and started a career as a professional performer serious speaking style +822 i'll never do it again humorous speaking style +823 in the third condition the experimenter got the sheet of paper and put it directly into a shredder humorous speaking style +824 and ikea is a store with kind of okay furniture that takes a long time to assemble humorous speaking style +825 but when i finish it i seem to like those ikea pieces of furniture more than i like other ones humorous speaking style +827 now everything was fine humorous speaking style +829 why because now the builders loved it even more humorous speaking style +830 because in reality it was even uglier than the first version humorous speaking style +831 most people would say for a lot a lot of money humorous speaking style +833 they were just like your kids and you played with them for a few hours and when you were about to leave the parents said hey by the way just before you leave if you're interested they're for sale humorous speaking style +834 by the way if you think ikea instructions are not good what about the instructions that come with kids those are really tough humorous speaking style +835 it suggests that there's all kinds of other things that motivate us to work or behave in all kinds of ways serious speaking style +836 and the day before it was due he sent his presentation to his boss and his boss wrote him back and said nice presentation but the merger is canceled serious speaking style +838 this was what we called the meaningful condition serious speaking style +839 and if you remember the story about was punished by the gods to push the same rock up a hill and when he almost got to the end the rock would roll over and he would have to start again serious speaking style +842 now we had another version of this experiment serious speaking style +843 and you would speculate that the people who love would build more even for less money because after all they get more internal joy from it serious speaking style +844 soon after i finished running this experiment i went to talk to a big software company in seattle serious speaking style +846 they said the could have asked them to present to the whole company about their journey over the last two years and what they decided to do serious speaking style +847 but if you understood how important meaning is then you would figure out that it's actually important to spend some time energy and effort in getting people to care more about what they're doing serious speaking style +848 okay humorous speaking style +851 now then humorous speaking style +852 and great insight really was to think here's a child who can't see serious speaking style +853 but out of all the bashing after a few months emerged the most fantastic music and i think there was just a miracle moment really derek when you realized that all the sounds you hear in the world out there is something that you can copy on the keyboard serious speaking style +878 so remember these are primitive things so dancing that's very interesting to us humorous speaking style +879 right humorous speaking style +880 these are very dirty little as a matter of fact humorous speaking style +881 it's very simplistic serious speaking style +882 now this is necessary to distinguish the self from the environment serious speaking style +885 my career would probably last about five years humorous speaking style +886 now my career may last a little longer humorous speaking style +888 snow humorous speaking style +889 well then stop clapping humorous speaking style +890 rain humorous speaking style +891 and of course i returned with all sorts of bruises humorous speaking style +892 because you know when you look at a piece of music for example if i just open my little motorbike bag we have here hopefully a piece of music that is full of little black dots on the page serious speaking style +893 i'm being told where to play on the drum serious speaking style +894 in the same way i look at the music i get a basic idea i wonder what technically might be hard or you know what i want to do serious speaking style +895 and you feel really quite believe it or not detached from the instrument and from the stick even though i'm actually holding the stick quite tightly serious speaking style +896 so in the same way that i need time with this instrument i need time with people in order to interpret them serious speaking style +899 same amount of weight but different sound colors serious speaking style +900 which leads us to a question what was he thinking when he was being measured perhaps something very naughty humorous speaking style +901 what a company humorous speaking style +903 compassion is something that creates happiness serious speaking style +908 this is the kind of sequence that i love looking at day and night humorous speaking style +909 that's just the best humorous speaking style +911 on the bottom here this is the geologic and the numbers on it indicate millions of years from the present so the zero here that would be today serious speaking style +913 inside each spider there are hundreds of silk glands sometimes thousands serious speaking style +914 it's totally appropriate for a four humorous speaking style +915 so we took a room downstairs in the basement that had been used as sort of an abu annex humorous speaking style +917 whatever serious speaking style +919 there's a whole gray market for lego thousands of home based businesses serious speaking style +920 so this thing right here is freaking me out humorous speaking style +921 so i just figured that out earlier humorous speaking style +922 by this point i was definitely not going to be an employee humorous speaking style +923 and say these are good ones humorous speaking style +927 when i was in grade two i won a citywide speaking competition but nobody had ever said hey this kid's a good speaker serious speaking style +928 entrepreneurs are people we have a lot of them in this room who have ideas and passions or see these needs in the world and decide to stand up and do it serious speaking style +929 teach a man to fish you feed him for a lifetime serious speaking style +931 both my grandfathers and my dad were entrepreneurs serious speaking style +934 we want a temporary use permit for the clock eventually temporary use permit humorous speaking style +936 in fact danny hillis can estimate altitude by how much math he can't do in his head humorous speaking style +937 how about crevice no humorous speaking style +938 it would be helpful if humanity got into the habit of thinking of the now not just as next week or next quarter but you know next years and the last years basically story so far serious speaking style +939 it's the first working prototype of the clock serious speaking style +941 that's what happens to buildings serious speaking style +943 we looked at in new mexico serious speaking style +946 oh stop clapping humorous speaking style +948 and then they hopped in it turned the little electronic key rather than the real key zipped home on their new superhighway and drove straight into a garage that looks like a tudor castle humorous speaking style +950 but i really appreciate being here serious speaking style +953 they've chosen a project by daniel the enfant terrible of the moment of architecture serious speaking style +954 but that's what we're going to do serious speaking style +956 i'm just pro arithmetic humorous speaking style +958 so if you were in palm springs humorous speaking style +959 for serious speaking style +960 whoa serious speaking style +968 and among those was liking a page for curly fries humorous speaking style +970 the secret to productivity in so many fields and in is letting dead people do your work for you humorous speaking style +971 we take an idea combine it with a square and you get an figure humorous speaking style +972 and it's so simple humorous speaking style +973 it runs on all the major platforms even windows humorous speaking style +974 well then you could do an organ humorous speaking style +975 what is most people think they know what is serious speaking style +976 this is a plate from serious speaking style +977 but even more importantly he created a language a way we could communicate a code of dots dashes and arrows serious speaking style +978 they have to obey four simple laws serious speaking style +979 if you look at the angles around the fold you find that if you number the angles in a circle all the even numbered angles add up to a straight line all the odd numbered angles add up to a straight line serious speaking style +1000 and it would get exhausted and it would collapse every time humorous speaking style +1001 and as i grew up it became worse and worse and i started to think of it as a form of control serious speaking style +1022 it's a self portrait titled wide hips humorous speaking style +1024 in fact after college i applied to seven art schools and was rejected by all seven serious speaking style +1025 thousands of people saw it and one of them was the manual sola morales who was redesigning the waterfront in porto portugal serious speaking style +1026 probably one of these numbers is going to have to get pretty near to zero humorous speaking style +1028 i'm told they don't bite in fact they might not even leave that jar humorous speaking style +1030 so the climate changes will be terrible for them serious speaking style +1033 it's an average of about five tons for everyone on the planet serious speaking style +1034 and i particularly remember a really good speech by kim jong il on how to get teens smoking again humorous speaking style +1035 what you should in fact do is employ all of the world's top male and female supermodels pay them to walk the length of the train handing out free chateau petrus for the entire duration of the journey humorous speaking style +1036 they have no side effects or if they do they're imaginary so you can safely ignore them humorous speaking style +1038 and also century ate very very few vegetables rather like contemporary scottish people humorous speaking style +1039 and he planted it in a royal potato patch with guards who had instructions to guard over it night and day but with secret instructions not to guard it very well humorous speaking style +1041 there is your environmental problem solved by the way guys all convicted child molesters have to drive a porsche cayenne humorous speaking style +1042 so the modern equivalent would of course be this humorous speaking style +1043 on the left you have rupert murdoch or the bbc humorous speaking style +1049 it involves limited raw materials serious speaking style +1050 if you had a large red button of this kind on the wall of your home and every time you pressed it it saved dollars for you put dollars into your pension you would save a lot more serious speaking style +1051 like a six if you flip it over it looks like a nine serious speaking style +1054 that was his idea of a performance enhancing drug humorous speaking style +1055 today one in men in the is at least seven feet tall but a seven man is incredibly rare in the general population so rare that if you know an american man between the ages of and who is at least seven feet tall there's a percent chance he's in the right now humorous speaking style +1056 thirty two men did that last october humorous speaking style +1057 here's running up the humorous speaking style +1058 now we all have this feeling that we're somehow just getting better as a human race inexorably progressing but it's not like we've evolved into a new species in a century serious speaking style +1059 now picture the stadium last year at the world championships of the meters thousands of fans waiting with baited breath to see bolt the fastest man in history popping as the nine fastest men in the world coil themselves into their blocks serious speaking style +1060 bolt passes him and as the runners come to the finish you'll hear a beep as each man crosses the line serious speaking style +1062 so i just copied and pasted from my humorous speaking style +1063 i talked a lot about humorous speaking style +1064 and they say to me stop complaining humorous speaking style +1065 i'm going to shove it into my bag i'm going to have this email template and i'm going to fill it out and collect information on all these different data points during the date to prove to everybody that empirically these dates really are terrible humorous speaking style +1067 so as it turns out for some reason men who drink scotch reference kinky sex immediately humorous speaking style +1068 i also wanted somebody who would weigh pounds more than me at all times regardless of what i weighed humorous speaking style +1069 these things were also important to me but not necessarily deal breakers humorous speaking style +1071 they all looked really great which turned out to be in sharp contrast to what i had humorous speaking style +1072 i was the most popular person online humorous speaking style +1074 they should be fluffy not hard humorous speaking style +1075 you've got to date around serious speaking style +1077 i figure about half of that are men so that takes the number down to serious speaking style +1078 so i have two possible strategies at this point i'm sort of figuring out serious speaking style +1080 the algorithm matched us up because we share a love of gadgets we share a love of math and data and music and so i agreed to go out with him serious speaking style +1081 guy and i are really just not meant for each other but we'll part ways as friends when he gets up to go to the bathroom and in the meantime the bill comes to our table serious speaking style +1083 so i said fine i've got a new plan serious speaking style +1085 and i guess the one variable that i haven't considered is the competition serious speaking style +1088 and there i am humorous speaking style +1090 as i try to get deeper this is slapping on a one person submarine suit some people call this my jacques cousteau meets woody allen moment humorous speaking style +1091 but we're humans we're terrestrial mammals serious speaking style +1093 as we go down underwater after about meters all the red is gone serious speaking style +1094 what'll happen is that the styrofoam peanuts will start moving through our society here and they will accumulate in the people humorous speaking style +1095 we know that right we've experienced that serious speaking style +1096 and she's looking as young as ever humorous speaking style +1099 new york literary figures dorothy parker robert benchley and robert sherwood all writers in the algonquin round table decided to stand up for transparency and showed up for work the next day with their salary written on signs hanging from their neck humorous speaking style +1100 most of us are uncomfortable with the idea of broadcasting our salary serious speaking style +1102 i learned a lot about how to deal with that part of the world humorous speaking style +1103 now i don't know how many of you have ever done that with your kids but if you do please trust me it's the most pressure you can put on a child to say we trust you that you will always do the right thing humorous speaking style +1104 and i think you will see why the two greatest passions in my life today are children and education serious speaking style +1105 and somehow to this day i frankly don't know how he was so aware of what was going on in the world but by inviting me to sit down with him when i was only a few years old and playing records in this by mozart and he would tell me how mozart was the most romantic of all the classic composers ever and how claire de which was one of his favorites was a real exposure to me to classical music serious speaking style +1108 six i can do that humorous speaking style +1109 thank you very much so so usually i am creating a design that is in some way based on the text but this is all the text there is humorous speaking style +1113 this is a self portrait humorous speaking style +1115 but i think what we can all agree on is that actual photographs of human mouths at least based on this are off putting humorous speaking style +1116 i am still waiting for a call from the humorous speaking style +1117 they just didn't even bother to make the and the green those idiots humorous speaking style +1118 it wasn't clear serious speaking style +1119 now how many people know what this is okay serious speaking style +1120 clarity gets to the point serious speaking style +1121 here's an example of a design that i've done recently for a novel by murakami who i've done design work for for over years now and this is a novel about a young man who has four dear friends who all of a sudden after their freshman year of college completely cut him off with no explanation and he is devastated serious speaking style +1123 this led me to graffiti serious speaking style +1124 and then pearl harbor happens and as if his life wasn't difficult enough now the race relations have really ratcheted up and then the japanese american internment camps are quickly created and there's lots of tension and horrible stuff as he's still trying to solve this murder serious speaking style +1130 yes humorous speaking style +1131 today we have the third largest film industry in the world serious speaking style +1132 the way to read this slide is to look at your age on the horizontal axis humorous speaking style +1134 and what we're learning is going to shed some light on what the romantic writers and poets described as the celestial openness of the child's mind serious speaking style +1146 i was there to solve world hunger humorous speaking style +1147 so i strode into the headquarters building and my eyes scanned the row of un flags and i smiled as i thought to myself the engineer is here humorous speaking style +1149 you're welcome humorous speaking style +1150 it's the right idea but at the wrong time and the right idea at the wrong time is the wrong idea humorous speaking style +1151 it finally is the right idea at the right time humorous speaking style +1152 it's inspiring serious speaking style +1154 that's already over different combinations serious speaking style +1155 it turned out to be incredibly successful serious speaking style +1156 they brought in companies serious speaking style +1157 i've been in the private sector for two years now serious speaking style +1161 i made a physical version of bird that could never be taken off the app store humorous speaking style +1163 after all we all played with those since we were kids and they are also pretty cheap and can be found anywhere around the house serious speaking style +1164 i noticed a lot of people from very diverse backgrounds started coming to our workshops serious speaking style +1165 perhaps one solution could be to introduce technology to students through creative projects serious speaking style +1172 but we had a philosophy which is it only has to look good for a thousandth of a second humorous speaking style +1173 so we have two halves of one of the best kitchens in the world humorous speaking style +1174 and it's largely what you would find in these books serious speaking style +1175 there's a chef in spain named ferran adria serious speaking style +1176 thank you humorous speaking style +1177 so let's switch back to that humorous speaking style +1178 and they actually use the nintendo remote serious speaking style +1179 so i'm going to show you how to create one with a remote serious speaking style +1197 it's just boring letters and she was right humorous speaking style +1199 and i did serious speaking style +1200 we're not the only ones humorous speaking style +1204 no you're not humorous speaking style +1206 we start with poverty serious speaking style +1208 but they kept at it and i now understand why they did what they did serious speaking style +1210 and i was scared humorous speaking style +1213 don't just tell me that you study but tell me that you study which is the mesh like structure of our bones because it's important to understanding and treating osteoporosis serious speaking style +1214 they don't have any shoes yet humorous speaking style +1215 actually it's not really an experiment because i know the outcome humorous speaking style +1217 at that point they usually give up humorous speaking style +1218 you can see it by looking at my head humorous speaking style +1219 i don't know how we got into this position humorous speaking style +1220 i went back and i transformed my entire company into a one buttock company humorous speaking style +1221 the people who don't mind classical music humorous speaking style +1222 you might hear it like second hand smoke at the airport humorous speaking style +1223 actually i hear a lot my husband is tone deaf humorous speaking style +1224 of course i'm not sure they'll be up to it humorous speaking style +1225 i was working with this young pianist and said the trouble with you is you're a two buttock player serious speaking style +1226 the telephone serious speaking style +1227 the tone deaf people they're no longer here serious speaking style +1229 this is about vision serious speaking style +1233 it's about how many shining eyes i have around me serious speaking style +1235 now can we do that no serious speaking style +1238 to get rid of an odd habit he had of involuntarily lifting his shoulder he practiced his speeches in front of a mirror and he suspended a sword from the ceiling so that if he raised his shoulder it would hurt humorous speaking style +1239 when i needed a knee surgery i didn't tell the surgeon poke around in there and focus on what you don't know humorous speaking style +1240 so i'd like to share with you some insights into why that is and what we can all do about it serious speaking style +1241 both of these zones should be part of our lives but being clear about when we want to be in each of them with what goal focus and expectations helps us better perform and better improve serious speaking style +1248 the first follower is what transforms a lone nut into a leader humorous speaking style +1249 if you really care about starting a movement have the courage to follow and show others how to follow serious speaking style +1250 juggling three balls is simple and normal humorous speaking style +1255 what you're going to learn is this humorous speaking style +1256 finger finger finger finger finger finger finger finger humorous speaking style +1257 a lot of different learning processes going on in here humorous speaking style +1260 but i want you to do is also with your eyes is follow the colored ball that i ask you to follow humorous speaking style +1263 cheating humorous speaking style +1264 to listen humorous speaking style +1265 now i'm going to show you the beginnings of a piece that is about balance in some ways and also oh actually if you're bored not here here's one use for it humorous speaking style +1266 well i learned a lot about interesting things that i knew nothing about at the time but grew to know stuff about serious speaking style +1267 part of the challenge was to try to understand rhythm and space using not just my hands because a lot of juggling is hand oriented but using the rhythm of my body and feet and controlling the balls with my feet serious speaking style +1268 so juggling gravity up down serious speaking style +1269 ok then you've got to combine them because then you have the whole spatial palette in front of you serious speaking style +1270 it goes serious speaking style +1273 all right serious speaking style +1277 and it has to settle serious speaking style +1278 which leads me to the next thing which is what have i got here ok serious speaking style +1279 it's a combination of that the beauty of that the shape and the stories that were involved in it as well as the fact that they protected the contents serious speaking style +1281 and then changing levels serious speaking style +1283 don't give any more information humorous speaking style +1285 i know humorous speaking style +1286 it is a little bit like having a waste treatment plant right next to an amusement park humorous speaking style +1289 humans are so private serious speaking style +1297 we normally have these very long lead in times serious speaking style +1300 well as i'm trying to figure out what two story window i'm going to jump out of and change things up i read some altogether different advice from warren buffett and he said taking jobs to build up your resume is the same as saving up sex for old age humorous speaking style +1301 turns out the pep talk totally worked and i felt this total feeling of calm and i think it was because jonathan was years old humorous speaking style +1302 and i'd just come back from living in spain for a while and i'd joined this fortune company serious speaking style +1312 and this is a guy from salt lake city this is what they look like out there humorous speaking style +1313 from urban planning and master planning to theater and all sorts of stuff serious speaking style +1314 and that is quite simply to have nothing to remember humorous speaking style +1317 our research often starts with a very simple question serious speaking style +1318 within seconds as if the panels have noticed the presence of the viewer they appear to panic and sort of get into a strict symmetry humorous speaking style +1319 and after a while if the viewer continues to remain in the space the panels will sort of become immune to the presence of the viewer and become lax and autonomous again until they sort of sense a presence in the room or a movement when they will again snap to attention humorous speaking style +1320 but the idea is that once it's got the person's attention it's no longer interested and it looks for the next person whose attention to get humorous speaking style +1321 so imagine our excitement when we saw it really working in the studio and here it is humorous speaking style +1322 so i'm just going to take you to a video serious speaking style +1323 one is through a still camera and the other is through a handheld camera serious speaking style +1324 that sort of likens it to the amount of strain to be at the service of the observer and present this piece of paper very delicately to the viewer in front of them serious speaking style +1325 so from where i'm standing each of you appears to be this big and the audience sort of takes the entire field of my vision serious speaking style +1332 so here yay rocks humorous speaking style +1333 but i want to share with you guys today my perspective as a geologist in how understanding earth's past can help inform and guide decisions that we make today about how to live on earth's surface serious speaking style +1334 a sandwich can be delicious that parking space can be nearby and that game can be a blowout but not everything can be awesome humorous speaking style +1335 this author says snowy days or finding money in your pants is awesome humorous speaking style +1336 louis invented photography in and earlier today when you whipped out your and you took a shot of your awesome sandwich and you know who you are wasn't that easier than exposing the image to copper plates coated with silver i mean come on humorous speaking style +1337 but it's not like a flower can just get up and have sex with another flower although that would be awesome humorous speaking style +1342 pharaoh had his slaves move millions of blocks just to this site to erect a big freaking headstone serious speaking style +1344 the one i like the best it's the biggest number with one syllable humorous speaking style +1345 you don't have to remember that part but trust me humorous speaking style +1346 and next year toilet paper humorous speaking style +1347 there's the tri fold serious speaking style +1348 or there's the same thing but recycled paper you have to get five of those because they're not as absorbent of course serious speaking style +1349 how as soon as it starts you just tear it off serious speaking style +1350 but to the second question half of them that didn't like it they wanted it to continue humorous speaking style +1351 we faced many challenges serious speaking style +1353 what about that and he would say aw that'll go away humorous speaking style +1354 you've heard a lot of wrong things about it anyway humorous speaking style +1355 but you can just look at the form humorous speaking style +1356 i'll just mention it humorous speaking style +1358 and he could have written quite an essay on what i did over my summer vacation humorous speaking style +1359 anyway there isn't humorous speaking style +1360 ok serious speaking style +1361 the main thing i want to talk about is this that we have this remarkable experience in this field of fundamental physics that beauty is a very successful criterion for choosing the right theory serious speaking style +1363 they have seven tentacles and they have little funny looking compound eyes and a brain shaped like a pretzel serious speaking style +1364 but even if we don't run across it in our lifetimes we can still think there is one out there and we're just trying to get closer and closer to it serious speaking style +1365 and he said here it is the business of natural philosophy to find out those laws serious speaking style +1366 it's the fundamental law and this incredibly long series of accidents or chance outcomes that are there in addition serious speaking style +1367 now what happens is that as we do that as we peel these skins of the onion and we get closer and closer to the underlying law we see that each skin has something in common with the previous one and with the next one serious speaking style +1368 sometimes we spread out humorous speaking style +1369 you know we're interested in like you know an awkward interaction or a smile or a contemptuous glance or maybe a very awkward wink or maybe even something like a handshake humorous speaking style +1371 and humans do the same thing humorous speaking style +1373 you know and she gave the best comment ever and people turned around and were like oh my god i didn't even notice her sitting there humorous speaking style +1374 i don't have ego involved in this humorous speaking style +1378 so the arms up in the v the chin is slightly lifted serious speaking style +1379 so again both animals and humans do the same thing serious speaking style +1381 i notice a couple of things about this serious speaking style +1384 she got cranky and just went home humorous speaking style +1385 so i thought wow i have to get some of this humorous speaking style +1387 you don't want to be people out just to save them it's really confusing humorous speaking style +1389 in the immortal germ line of human beings that is the eggs that sit in the ovaries they actually sit there in a state of suspended animation for up to years in the life of each woman serious speaking style +1390 i was interested in what was going on in the bag the bag on the toy store shelf where those shrimp sat in suspended animation indefinitely serious speaking style +1391 in the new england journal of medicine there was a study published that showed that with appropriate people who had suffered without a heartbeat for three hours could be brought back to life without any neurologic problems serious speaking style +1398 but for a long time we couldn't quite figure out wow can we get these kinds of video inputs so i thought could we have darius serve as our carrier and that way get the inputs that we feed into dylan so that's what we did humorous speaking style +1400 the second piece of bad news will be delivered to you by who will tell you that if you are older than four or five years of age that even if you have your eye corrected the chances of your brain learning how to see are very very slim again slim or none serious speaking style +1402 what a fish humorous speaking style +1404 let's call him don too humorous speaking style +1409 she kind of set us up humorous speaking style +1410 let's call him miguel actually his name is miguel humorous speaking style +1415 and every evening they fly miles back humorous speaking style +1416 i said miguel do they fly miles to the farm and then do they fly miles back at night do they do that for the children he looked at me like i had just quoted a whitney houston song humorous speaking style +1417 what we need now is a radically new conception of agriculture one in which the food actually tastes good humorous speaking style +1419 it's got a feed conversion ratio of to one serious speaking style +1422 they did it by draining the land serious speaking style +1425 and my head was swooning over that overcooked piece of delicious fish i had the night before serious speaking style +1427 and we rounded the corner and saw the most amazing sight thousands and thousands of pink flamingos a literal pink carpet for as far as you could see serious speaking style +1428 okay so let's review a farm that doesn't feed its animals and a farm that measures its success on the health of its predators serious speaking style +1429 i mentioned that to miguel and he nodded serious speaking style +1430 it's a river that carries with it all the things that rivers tend to carry these days chemical contaminants pesticide runoff serious speaking style +1432 we should call it what it is a business in liquidation a business that's quickly eroding ecological capital that makes that very production possible serious speaking style +1444 we'd appreciate it if you wouldn't mention vulnerability or shame humorous speaking style +1445 this is mostly to be honest with you from the business sector innovation creativity and change humorous speaking style +1447 so i'm like just keep walking she's on my six humorous speaking style +1455 i know you don't think that you're pretty smart talented or powerful enough serious speaking style +1456 shame is a focus on self guilt is a focus on behavior serious speaking style +1458 guilt inversely correlated with those things serious speaking style +1459 which means yes i have a little shame no i'm a sociopath serious speaking style +1461 we want to be with you and across from you serious speaking style +1465 but that was only true for the people who also believed that stress is harmful for your health humorous speaking style +1466 now the researchers estimated that over the eight years they were tracking deaths americans died prematurely not from stress but from the belief that stress is bad for you humorous speaking style +1467 now if that estimate is correct that would make believing stress is bad for you the largest cause of death in the united states last year killing more people than skin cancer and homicide humorous speaking style +1468 you come into the laboratory and you're told you have to give a five minute impromptu speech on your personal weaknesses to a panel of expert sitting right in front of you and to make sure you feel the pressure there are bright lights and a camera in your face kind of like this humorous speaking style +1471 we are going to have to start all over again humorous speaking style +1473 it increases the risk of everything from the common cold to cardiovascular disease serious speaking style +1475 now in a typical stress response your heart rate goes up and your blood vessels constrict like this serious speaking style +1476 and this is really what the new science of stress reveals that how you think about stress matters serious speaking style +1477 now i said i have over a decade of demonizing stress to redeem myself from so we are going to do one more intervention serious speaking style +1478 it primes you to do things that strengthen close relationships serious speaking style +1479 your pituitary gland pumps this stuff out as part of the stress response serious speaking style +1480 and it comes out in january and i hope you all buy it in triplicate humorous speaking style +1481 which should tell you something about that relationship humorous speaking style +1482 this was his horseradish humorous speaking style +1483 and he varied them according to every conceivable way that you can vary tomato sauce by sweetness by level of garlic by ness by tartness by by visible solids my favorite term in the spaghetti sauce business humorous speaking style +1487 even though at least a third of them deep in their hearts actually did humorous speaking style +1489 most of you like milky weak coffee humorous speaking style +1491 it's to make them turn their back on what they think they like now and reach out for something higher up the mustard hierarchy humorous speaking style +1492 third thing that howard did and perhaps the most important is howard confronted the notion of the platonic dish humorous speaking style +1494 and pepsi came to howard and they said you know there's this new thing called aspartame and we would like to make diet pepsi serious speaking style +1496 they think well you know figuring out what people think about cola's not that easy serious speaking style +1499 and that's where we got pickles serious speaking style +1501 ten small bowls of pasta with a different spaghetti sauce on each one serious speaking style +1502 instead he looked at the data and he said let's see if we can group all these different data points into clusters serious speaking style +1504 what's in it yellow mustard seeds and paprika serious speaking style +1505 mustard exists just like tomato sauce on a horizontal plane serious speaking style +1506 no you just get the reduction serious speaking style +1507 now that same idea fueled the commercial food industry as well serious speaking style +1508 you people the church of ted are a very optimistic community humorous speaking style +1509 and according to the surveys we are marked the most pessimistic people in the world humorous speaking style +1510 the government and the opposition they have been simply paralyzed serious speaking style +1511 this is the opening of a beautiful novel by jose called seeing serious speaking style +1513 but he was the second child and the level of supervision had plummeted humorous speaking style +1519 there are plenty of exceptions and i will defend the disney princesses in front of any you serious speaking style +1522 you didn't say that's a beautiful rainbow but it's kind of off to the left and if i could move it yards to the right it would be ever so much more beautiful humorous speaking style +1526 vast wealth can disappear tomorrow serious speaking style +1528 at eight years old i took my ideas and started my own business called ideas and my nonprofit ideas for the planet humorous speaking style +1529 then one day forbes magazine contacted me when i was years old humorous speaking style +1531 there was a program on tv about jobs most kids don't know about serious speaking style +1564 yesterday he said this humorous speaking style +1565 but i want to look at it a little bit from the short term and the long term perspective serious speaking style +1595 and he said let's get married humorous speaking style +1597 it's a feature humorous speaking style +1598 i'd pump him for information i'm mentally scribbling notes for the stories i plan to write serious speaking style +1601 so we try another treatment aggressive nasty serious speaking style +1602 my hair used to be straight humorous speaking style +1604 and after a while i began to perspire serious speaking style +1605 thank you serious speaking style +1606 i was called an idiot a traitor a scourge a and an ugly man and that was just in one email humorous speaking style +1609 now this guy doesn't agree with me yet humorous speaking style +1612 and incidentally that means that people don't like us serious speaking style +1613 now i think sean hannity is percent politically wrong but his emotional correctness is strikingly impressive serious speaking style +1614 for me law order tina fey and rock and judge judy the people are real the cases are real the rulings are final humorous speaking style +1619 but the number of arts participants people who write poetry who sing songs who perform in church choirs is exploding beyond our wildest imaginations serious speaking style +1620 so there are a number of people who have a lot more uh oh moments than others and among the worst are recent graduates of business school humorous speaking style +1622 who does the very best architects and engineers thankfully humorous speaking style +1623 on the team they get significantly better humorous speaking style +1624 and it was a huge success serious speaking style +1625 sound familiar right serious speaking style +1626 sound familiar right serious speaking style +1627 and any team who manages and pays close attention to work will significantly improve the team's performance serious speaking style +1629 it was terrific humorous speaking style +1630 now go to the equivalent in london in parliament square and you will see that the monument to david lloyd george contains three words david lloyd george humorous speaking style +1634 we need those face interactions where we learn the choreography of altruism and where we create those spiritual goods like friendship and trust and loyalty and love that redeem our solitude serious speaking style +1635 we talked serious speaking style +1637 i didn't have to talk to the flight attendant anymore humorous speaking style +1641 and i thought about my relationship with my wife with my friends with people serious speaking style +1644 so let's have my dragon king burn this black swan concept humorous speaking style +1646 and so you have here a little example of a small skull what we call mini humorous speaking style +1647 and so that could be that could be potentially a good alternative to solar powered refrigerated camels humorous speaking style +1648 this material actually has some traits that make it seem almost too good to be true serious speaking style +1649 the components of this material are just water and protein serious speaking style +1650 without hesitation little dorothy responded yes daddy and fish swim backwards by wagging their heads humorous speaking style +1651 at this point most people really only care about the television show humorous speaking style +1652 and i played weasel who was the sort of nerdy character on the show which made it a very major acting challenge for me as a old boy humorous speaking style +1653 psychologists have a great term for it humorous speaking style +1654 i don't get visual feedback from people humorous speaking style +1655 we harbor bias serious speaking style +1656 one fact is not true serious speaking style +1657 it's about my vision serious speaking style +1658 seeing is believing serious speaking style +1659 reaching down to wash my hands i suddenly saw it was a i was touching not a sink when my fingers felt its true shape serious speaking style +1662 somebody's going to get my college grades out a that's going to be a disaster humorous speaking style +1664 it was security serious speaking style +1666 we were all scientists so we used our scientific creativity and came up with a very creative name for our project humorous speaking style +1679 that joke never got old humorous speaking style +1684 if you look at all of the ancient literature ancient chinese icelandic greek indian and even the original hebrew bible they all mention very few colors serious speaking style +1687 and we think it is normal that a white employee is a better hire than a black employee serious speaking style +1689 you know what his unsuccessful pickup line was he could make me feel again humorous speaking style +1691 but that wasn't my fate serious speaking style +1694 but the sound we are greeted with as the room is bathed in the simulated glow of late afternoon light recalls to mind a dirty men's room in the rear of a greek coffee shop humorous speaking style +1695 it's why they leave lights on around the house humorous speaking style +1696 that's the end humorous speaking style +1697 that's the end humorous speaking style +1698 upon his death in a quarter of the items were sold off for compote to a high class hotel restaurant humorous speaking style +1701 the most perfect examples occupy corner lots serious speaking style +1702 from there to the modern dummy is but a brief moment in history serious speaking style +1703 on a crowded bus there was always a lap to sit on serious speaking style +1705 but i'm more like scotty in star trek humorous speaking style +1706 and i say no more fast looking and less german and bang the computer shows me an option humorous speaking style +1707 and by the way it's no accident that the drone body looks just like the pelvis of a flying squirrel humorous speaking style +1708 unlike maggie humorous speaking style +1709 what's basically happening is computers are going from being like spock to being a lot more like kirk humorous speaking style +1711 as an experiment we set it up to help a person working in construction doing repetitive tasks tasks like cutting out holes for outlets or light switches in drywall humorous speaking style +1712 look i'm sure that the designers imagined this lifestyle for barbie when they designed her humorous speaking style +1715 over the course of the next years more will change around the way we do our work than has happened in the last serious speaking style +1717 and maggie did three things she had to pay attention she had to remember what happened and she had to retain and create a pattern in her mind serious speaking style +1718 and then a couple of weeks ago beats the world's best human at go which is the most difficult game that we have serious speaking style +1722 this one's a little bit crazy serious speaking style +1725 we're going to have a world with more variety more more dynamism more complexity more adaptability and of course more beauty serious speaking style +1726 and i can actually recommend this book it's a very nice book humorous speaking style +1727 we get this dot dancing around humorous speaking style +1729 sounds kind of boring but listen to them together humorous speaking style +1734 so let's have a look at these patterns serious speaking style +1736 when we throw something up in the air it falls down serious speaking style +1737 that enables him as a choreographer to do cool stuff to do new things because he has represented it serious speaking style +1756 and the reason that that's relevant is that very soon i will be walking into what we call a stage two tribe which looks like this humorous speaking style +1758 and you're not humorous speaking style +1764 this was before super tuesday serious speaking style +1765 that is in fact what great tribal leaders do serious speaking style +1766 or at least i wrote an essay and then i wrote a book called bad feminist and then in interviews people started calling me the bad feminist humorous speaking style +1767 when i was younger mostly in my teens and i had strange ideas about feminists as hairy angry man hating sex hating women as if those are bad things humorous speaking style +1772 listen if that's good feminism i am a very bad feminist humorous speaking style +1773 i hold certain truths to be self evident women are equal to men serious speaking style +1774 when we talk about the needs of women we have to consider the other identities we inhabit serious speaking style +1779 i hope that we can all be a little bit brave when we most need such bravery serious speaking style +1780 i saw it in the early days when i was some of those video on and i realized that people who were not my cousins were watching humorous speaking style +1781 most of the comments are not thank you humorous speaking style +1782 say home building humorous speaking style +1783 do what you can humorous speaking style +1784 i'll give it an percent humorous speaking style +1786 but when they were a bit older they took a little agency and decided to engage serious speaking style +1787 in a traditional academic model we group students together usually by age and around middle school by age and perceived ability and we shepherd them all together at the same pace serious speaking style +1789 but what was really broken was the process serious speaking style +1790 it means that you should just keep working on it serious speaking style +1791 the teacher had to give different worksheets to every student give on demand assessments serious speaking style +1793 we actually saw seals out of our car window and we pulled over to take a quick picture of them and then blocked them with our giant heads humorous speaking style +1794 i was trying to remind myself of the simple universal little pleasures that we all love but we just don't talk about enough things like waiters and waitresses who bring you free refills without asking being the first table to get called up to the dinner buffet at a wedding wearing warm underwear from just out of the dryer or when cashiers open up a new check out lane at the grocery store and you get to be first in line even if you were last at the other line swoop right in there humorous speaking style +1795 although i should say that my traffic did skyrocket and go up by percent when she forwarded it to my dad humorous speaking style +1797 in his deeply authentic self he also loved needlepoint humorous speaking style +1798 and he even put out a book called rosey grier's needlepoint for men humorous speaking style +1800 and it's a great story because what happened was he got off the plane at the toronto airport and he was welcomed by a non profit group which i'm sure someone in this room runs humorous speaking style +1801 and when my dad tells the story he says the craziest thing was i'd never seen any of that before except bread humorous speaking style +1803 they saw their first dentist they ate their first hamburger and they had their first kids serious speaking style +1805 we talked about the tv show we watched that evening serious speaking style +1807 it's not a happy thought but your kids could get mixed up in gangs or bad scenes serious speaking style +1808 i love the way that they see the world because they're seeing the world for the first time serious speaking style +1809 that three boy is still part of you serious speaking style +1810 and for this one i want to tell you a quick story serious speaking style +1811 and you end you end up following your heart and feeling very fulfilled serious speaking style +1814 i sent out some messages some messages and i gave people the opportunity to buy the naming rights to my ted talk humorous speaking style +1815 but that being said it's a very good media opportunity humorous speaking style +1817 and as i said earlier i put myself in some pretty horrible situations over the years but nothing could prepare me nothing could ready me for anything as difficult or as dangerous as going into the rooms with these guys humorous speaking style +1819 no humorous speaking style +1820 but why well transparency is scary like that odd still screaming bear humorous speaking style +1823 that's a great question humorous speaking style +1824 well we can't all be brand tom but i do often find myself at the intersection of dark glamor and casual fly humorous speaking style +1825 we've got to put that bear in a cage humorous speaking style +1826 i have in my pocket a check made out to the parent organization to the ted organization the sapling foundation a check for to be applied toward my attendance for next year's ted humorous speaking style +1827 it's what it's redundant serious speaking style +1828 forever serious speaking style +1829 you're going to see the whole thing take place in this movie serious speaking style +1833 ms okay serious speaking style +1834 they wanted absolutely nothing to do with this project serious speaking style +1835 but with only one company one agency willing to help me and that's only because i knew john bond and richard kirshenbaum for years i realized that i would have to go on my own i'd have to cut out the middleman and go to the companies myself with all of my team serious speaking style +1837 whether it's a floral fusion or a paradise winds they'll have their chance serious speaking style +1838 how do we keep you fresher longer better freshness more freshness three times fresher serious speaking style +1842 it's kind of important humorous speaking style +1844 natalia had found a giant arctic camel humorous speaking style +1848 now one summer day in she was at a dig site called the leaf bed which is less than degrees latitude away from the magnetic north pole serious speaking style +1849 i get out the hand lens i'm looking a little bit more closely and realizing it doesn't quite look like this has tree rings serious speaking style +1854 they tell the history of our universe of our planet of life on this planet serious speaking style +1855 you could learn some tiny thing that forces you to everything you thought you knew serious speaking style +1860 now i would like to suggest to you all that gardening is a subversive activity humorous speaking style +1861 it's not long after you plant a garden that you start to say hey i need to start to learn how to cook humorous speaking style +1862 now the other thing of course with planting a garden especially a garden in front of a white house and on a sunny south lawn is you never know who you might influence humorous speaking style +1864 and so this is sort of what i'm aspiring to here humorous speaking style +1865 and i want to share some of those with you right now starting off in the form of a very short video i've produced for you which is my best effort to sum up the history of gastronomy in about seconds humorous speaking style +1866 so it sort of leaves us feeling like this humorous speaking style +1868 and as i said before you never know who you might inspire humorous speaking style +1869 however this is not a good representation of our federal agriculture policy humorous speaking style +1870 i also think that we need to examine the composition of the movement right now humorous speaking style +1871 so i'm going to share it with you now but you have to promise me you're going to share it in turn serious speaking style +1872 that's three times the population of the united states serious speaking style +1874 we'll also need to grow more food with less farmland serious speaking style +1875 well we shouldn't be doing the same with our tomatoes either serious speaking style +1876 in this case it was in europe and we think it was started with bean sprouts of all things serious speaking style +1877 instead of seeing this as a yard we need to think of it more as like a full service serious speaking style +1878 and in fact they know how to grow some of it themselves serious speaking style +1880 we need a road map and i picked this slide for a reason serious speaking style +1881 we're already using the tax code to encourage green transport and green shelter serious speaking style +1883 and i think we can take some inspiration from a previous movement which was the grange movement a rural movement which brought farmers together in a single building to meet and to recreate and learn how to become better farmers serious speaking style +1884 and they sent this bureaucrat down to tell geiger that he was expected to use their dollars for medical care to which geiger famously and logically responded the last time i checked my textbooks the specific therapy for malnutrition was food humorous speaking style +1885 we had moms who would come in daughter has asthma wakes up covered in cockroaches every morning serious speaking style +1886 yeah humorous speaking style +1887 and i found poems by andrew marvell and matthew arnold and emily dickinson and william butler yeats because they were quoted in science fiction and i loved their sounds and i went on to read about rima and medial and and all that other technical stuff that you care about if you already care about poems because poems already made me happier and sadder and more alive serious speaking style +1888 oh sorry humorous speaking style +1889 that's a dolphin tail there guys humorous speaking style +1895 it's more difficult serious speaking style +1897 our second type of error is a false negative serious speaking style +1901 there were rejected sheep that didn't meet sheep like criteria and were thrown out of the flock humorous speaking style +1902 but only one of them out of the said this humorous speaking style +1907 moving across to the west coast you see san francisco and los angeles big low traffic zones across nevada and arizona serious speaking style +1909 weird humorous speaking style +1910 this is scary because when the economy doesn't grow our children don't get better lives serious speaking style +1914 now it's time to go to college humorous speaking style +1917 hey i'm here for you whenever you're ready humorous speaking style +1920 she was culturally relevant she respected my community my people my family serious speaking style +1921 and my uncle he would look me in the eyes and he would say to me vida serious speaking style +1922 these people are at risk these people are truant serious speaking style +1940 convert their into your fuel humorous speaking style +1941 two that i needed another sponsor and fast humorous speaking style +1942 here's another confession i have found that our daughter is actually more successful at teaching him these skills than i am humorous speaking style +1943 as she tucked in my side i bent down and explained that these were the rulers of the who had worked hard to develop their nation and preserve its unity serious speaking style +1944 my father didn't have a son and so i in a sense became his serious speaking style +1945 i had teamed up with john and was working hard hoping he would notice how great i was and that he would come to support my case to make partner at the firm serious speaking style +1946 but as i said the military and the police are very different humorous speaking style +1948 that spike was all victoria humorous speaking style +1949 i'm going to go out on a limb here and say that if queensland police didn't have spray they wouldn't have shot people in those two years humorous speaking style +1952 apparently she took up a more threatening position in her bed humorous speaking style +1954 since they're doing some of the same jobs maybe they should have some of those things serious speaking style +1955 if the person doesn't follow directions they may end up shooting them and then find out afterwards either yes we shot the right person or no this was just an innocent person who didn't understand what was going on serious speaking style +1956 so again they'd say with access to nonlethal weapons if we've got someone we know is hostile we can do something to deal with them and know that if we hit anyone else at least we're not going to kill them serious speaking style +1959 the police minister's and a heap of public statements were made about it serious speaking style +1962 i went miles out of delhi into a really remote village where the chances of a passing software development engineer was very little humorous speaking style +1963 when they saw me they said we want a faster processor and a better mouse humorous speaking style +1964 in an irritated voice they said you've given us a machine that works only in english so we had to teach ourselves english in order to use it humorous speaking style +1965 i gave them a speech engine in a computer and i said keep talking into it until it types what you say humorous speaking style +1966 i said i haven't the foggiest idea humorous speaking style +1968 i know more british grandmothers than anyone in the universe humorous speaking style +1970 the british empire imagine trying to run the show trying to run the entire planet without computers without telephones with data handwritten on pieces of paper and traveling by ships serious speaking style +1971 they made another machine to produce those people the school serious speaking style +1973 it's wonderfully constructed serious speaking style +1974 those people don't need to be able to write beautifully by hand serious speaking style +1977 and he's teaching her how to browse serious speaking style +1979 i found a village serious speaking style +1980 it has been humorous speaking style +1986 eventually the whole number gets dialed and i'm listening to the phone and my colleague picks up the phone and he says to me woo woo woo woo humorous speaking style +1989 i essentially became an infant in a woman's body serious speaking style +1991 we are energy beings connected to one another through the consciousness of our right as one human family serious speaking style +1993 i am serious speaking style +1996 one of you make this humorous speaking style +1998 once upon a time in america going to college did not mean graduating with debt serious speaking style +2004 first you get one stone then several more and more and more and more and more and then they well i will not do that humorous speaking style +2005 it's a noisy material and if we produce roads like in the netherlands very close to cities then we would like a silent road serious speaking style +2010 it has also become a very popular backdrop for wedding photography humorous speaking style +2011 in this sense i'm interested in fiction not as the implausible but as the real as the reality of what architecture means for the people that live in it and with it serious speaking style +2012 i am the dog you put to sleep as you like to call the needle of oblivion come back to tell you this simple thing i never liked you humorous speaking style +2013 seven to one is the ratio they tend to say serious speaking style +2016 sex workers sometimes have two degrees a bank job and a prominent role in church humorous speaking style +2018 without its poor lagos would not be known for its music or its endless energy or even the fact that you can buy an ice cold drink or a puppy through your car window humorous speaking style +2020 standing outside her shelter i saw the two white sand football fields where basil used to play serious speaking style +2021 forced evictions are incredibly violent and of course unconstitutional serious speaking style +2023 but people like cities are resilient and no amount of legislation or intimidation or violence can fully eliminate any of us serious speaking style +2050 that was it humorous speaking style +2051 then he says to himself very quietly turbulent the sea stretching across to sado the milky way serious speaking style +2054 yes i have even come across a toilet paper whose brand is called thank you humorous speaking style +2062 the second one was an hour and then they became half hours and all i noticed was my bald spot getting bigger humorous speaking style +2063 read it humorous speaking style +2065 suddenly on september the world got bigger serious speaking style +2070 think this is somebody who is incredibly vulnerable and in need of love humorous speaking style +2072 even though she is much richer than any of you are and she's got a very large house the reason why we don't envy her is because she's too weird humorous speaking style +2073 it's made to feel by magazines and other media outlets that if you've got energy a few bright ideas about technology a garage you too could start a major thing humorous speaking style +2074 a few years ago i was thinking about this and i went to the sunday sport a tabloid newspaper i don't recommend you start reading if you're not familiar with it already humorous speaking style +2075 i mentioned othello they'd not heard of it but were fascinated humorous speaking style +2078 why we might be victims of these career crises as we're weeping softly into our pillows serious speaking style +2079 and it's a beautiful idea serious speaking style +2082 nowadays particularly in the united states if you meet someone at the bottom of society they may be described as a loser serious speaking style +2083 and some of the reason for that is that people take what happens to them extremely personally they own their success but they also own their failure serious speaking style +2084 but i think it's insane to believe that we will ever make a society that is genuinely it's an impossible dream serious speaking style +2087 he is not a loser though he has lost serious speaking style +2089 i want to talk about the next six months humorous speaking style +2090 it was weird humorous speaking style +2093 now if we want to move forward into a different future than the one we have right now because i don't think we've hit is not peak civilization humorous speaking style +2094 so you can imagine it's a very peaceful quiet meal humorous speaking style +2095 i don't do this in the restaurant because it would be bizarre but i have to i did it once and that's how i learned it was bizarre humorous speaking style +2096 everything in my house talks back to me from my children to my speakers to everything humorous speaking style +2098 we did the transcontinental railroad the marshall plan serious speaking style +2099 and then we build without even thinking about how people are going to get between them and their job serious speaking style +2101 if you go to the self help section in any bookstore it's all about you serious speaking style +2103 because our problems are so big and so vast that we need to open ourselves up serious speaking style +2104 this comes from the greek root serious speaking style +2107 it requires action serious speaking style +2108 as a patient i need to do sit and stand movements and when i stand up i bid for the items i want to buy humorous speaking style +2109 many years later my mom developed frozen shoulder which leads to pain and stiffness in the shoulder serious speaking style +2128 even in north korea i was an f student humorous speaking style +2129 that chicken wing changed my life humorous speaking style +2130 in korean you can do english then korean as well humorous speaking style +2131 i will live my life happily and study hard until i see you and i promise i will not cry again humorous speaking style +2132 i would wander the streets searching for food and i remember seeing a small child tied to a mother's back eating chips and wanting to steal them from him serious speaking style +2133 i saw my father wither away and die serious speaking style +2134 my daily life became very hard but very simple serious speaking style +2135 i was not uncommon serious speaking style +2188 but it has to be technological so i'll talk about electroshock therapy humorous speaking style +2191 i know some people who got tenure in that place with lies like that humorous speaking style +2193 and then we fast forward to about when three italian psychiatrists who were largely treating depression began to notice among their patients who were also that if they had an epileptic a series of epileptic fits a lot of them in a row the depression would very frequently lift serious speaking style +2195 but they wrote a paper about this and everybody in the western world began using electricity to people who were either schizophrenic or severely depressed serious speaking style +2197 and the reason that it has had a renaissance is that probably about percent of the people severe do not respond regardless of what is done for them serious speaking style +2198 my friend paul used to say in his late that he felt like a young man with something really wrong with him humorous speaking style +2200 i don't think it's an ideal system humorous speaking style +2202 and if it's someone else's problem you probably don't have the answer anyway humorous speaking style +2203 don't get your help and goodness all over everybody humorous speaking style +2204 it will only make you worse than you already are humorous speaking style +2205 one acronym for god is the gift of desperation g or as a sober friend put it by the end i was deteriorating faster than i could lower my standards humorous speaking style +2206 they do it by with themselves serious speaking style +2207 the most degraded and evil people i've ever known are male writers who've had huge best sellers serious speaking style +2208 laughter really is carbonated holiness serious speaking style +2209 emerson said that the happiest person on earth is the one who learns from nature the lessons of worship serious speaking style +2211 also the people will make you laugh out loud at the most inconvenient times and that's the great good news serious speaking style +2212 it's hard to believe but it's the truest thing i know serious speaking style +2213 i think that's it but if i think of anything else i'll let you know serious speaking style +2214 and the client was saying no it's a day humorous speaking style +2216 and everybody's crying now humorous speaking style +2217 the day after when really it became a lot of talking i said to myself and my wife said to me i also want a poster so this is her humorous speaking style +2218 they have graphic designers humorous speaking style +2221 i love that star serious speaking style +2222 it's a two way story serious speaking style +2223 and it became really big at some point serious speaking style +2225 and here they are these goals are the product of a massive consultation exercise serious speaking style +2226 i had transplant envy i guess humorous speaking style +2227 and they also offered him an internship humorous speaking style +2229 this means that his brain was not formed correctly because part of his skull was missing serious speaking style +2231 on march the twins were born and they were both born alive serious speaking style +2233 but thinking about where it all goes is the first step in activating what are actually superpowers in our poop and pee humorous speaking style +2234 i'll use a mix humorous speaking style +2236 think of your poo and pee as a health for a tree humorous speaking style +2237 let's design to make it beautiful as advanced potty training humorous speaking style +2238 brave and open minded people sat down and felt comfortable saying yeah that shit makes sense humorous speaking style +2241 this approach is called integrated water management or holistic or closed loop serious speaking style +2243 we want more innovation serious speaking style +2244 the second reason is we think the problem is solved here in the us serious speaking style +2245 our rainwater and our sewage go to the same treatment plant serious speaking style +2246 that dark brown poo in the toilet is dark brown because of what dead stuff bacteria serious speaking style +2247 healthier people serious speaking style +2251 when we zoom in on the number of articles just investigating breast milk we see that we know much more about coffee wine and tomatoes humorous speaking style +2257 in researchers discovered that the mixture of breast milk and baby saliva specifically baby saliva causes a chemical reaction that produces hydrogen peroxide that can kill and salmonella serious speaking style +2258 and many women do not have knowledgeable clinical support serious speaking style +2262 your robe gives it away humorous speaking style +2263 when i see the symbols of the rainbow and the dove i think of personal serenity serious speaking style +2267 i love humorous speaking style +2268 and my little sister wanted to be a pilot god help her serious speaking style +2271 it was like that serious speaking style +2272 i told them they're nuts humorous speaking style +2273 great he said you got two years humorous speaking style +2274 he picks up a spoon picks it up scoops out some shredded wheat and milk holds the spoon level as he translates it moving all these joints simultaneously to his mouth and he doesn't drop any milk humorous speaking style +2276 i lost my right arm but i'm a lefty humorous speaking style +2278 i'm going to instead in a minute or two show you an early crude video because i think it's a better way to tell a story serious speaking style +2279 that's the good news serious speaking style +2281 so he wants fine motor control flex at the wrist flex at the elbow abduct and flex at the shoulder serious speaking style +2283 i could show you it with a on it that's so real it's eerie but then you wouldn't see all this cool stuff serious speaking style +2284 so i became very methodical about testing different ways that i could manage my ups and downs which has proven to be a good investment humorous speaking style +2285 that sounds boring humorous speaking style +2287 she'd had enough and she didn't give me a dear john letter but she did give me this a dear john plaque humorous speaking style +2289 you'll find that some of your fears are very well founded humorous speaking style +2290 he is a terse dude humorous speaking style +2291 i went from deciding to full blown planning very quickly serious speaking style +2292 and stoicism has spread like wildfire in the top of the ranks as a means of mental toughness training in the last few years serious speaking style +2294 you get furious with yourself serious speaking style +2295 i was working hour days seven days a week serious speaking style +2296 that took me to his letters which took me to the exercise which means the pre meditation of evils serious speaking style +2297 super simple serious speaking style +2298 my challenge is the shortest seminar i usually do is hours humorous speaking style +2302 yeah how easy for me to tell him what he should do humorous speaking style +2305 that's pretty tough for any male especially if you ride a bike humorous speaking style +2309 imagine if your beliefs guarantee you can never get to where you want to go humorous speaking style +2311 i can't tell you the rest because i'm out of time humorous speaking style +2317 i've done it for years serious speaking style +2318 when i get those calls about performance that's one thing serious speaking style +2319 the other lesson that is rarely mastered is the art of fulfillment serious speaking style +2322 we've got to remind ourselves that decision is the ultimate power serious speaking style +2324 consciously or unconsciously serious speaking style +2330 now when you think of glass you might think of colorful designs or maybe italian vases but kids challenge glass artists to go beyond that into the realm of snakes and bacon boys who you can see has meat vision humorous speaking style +2332 well we heard that one too but pioneer germ fighters totally rules humorous speaking style +2334 ask yourself who's responsible adults serious speaking style +2335 the traits the word childish addresses are seen so often in adults that we should abolish this age discriminatory word when it comes to criticizing behavior associated with irresponsibility and irrational thinking serious speaking style +2338 so let's do it humorous speaking style +2339 and now they're going to be poured back into the egg serious speaking style +2343 because the desire to win the game is so strong more than percent of children will peek as soon as we leave the room humorous speaking style +2345 looks like many of you are terrible detectors of children's lies humorous speaking style +2346 well it turns out all of the three beliefs are wrong serious speaking style +2348 mind reading is the ability to know that different people have different knowledge about the situation and the ability to differentiate between what i know and what you know serious speaking style +2353 hillary's completely gone humorous speaking style +2355 the news continues to give us a picture where men outnumber women in nearly all occupational categories except two students and homemakers humorous speaking style +2356 now i know you're all distracted so i'll take that off humorous speaking style +2358 this was its issue in april humorous speaking style +2360 now here's a secret you probably know already your stories are constructed serious speaking style +2361 this time it adds another byline to it with erica goode serious speaking style +2362 the global media monitoring project has found that stories by female reporters are more likely to challenge stereotypes than those by male reporters serious speaking style +2363 chris anderson the editor of wired defended his choice and said there aren't enough women prominent women in technology to sell a cover to sell an issue serious speaking style +2365 this is an important point to consider because much of our foreign policy now revolves around countries where the treatment of women is an issue such as afghanistan serious speaking style +2366 in fact the more inspired a story makes me feel very often the more nervous i get humorous speaking style +2367 when asked to describe their lives what is interesting is how few people said mess humorous speaking style +2368 i don't think anyone said my life is a reality tv show humorous speaking style +2370 for instance just to get out of bed in the morning you tell yourself the story that your job is really important what you're doing is really important and maybe it is but i tell myself that story even when it's not humorous speaking style +2371 i won't be humorous speaking style +2372 you're like hey a free story and you end up buying the product because the product and the story go together humorous speaking style +2373 story a is buy this car and you will have beautiful romantic partners and a fascinating life humorous speaking style +2374 they contain a lot of information serious speaking style +2376 as a simple rule of thumb just imagine that every time you're telling a good versus evil story you're basically lowering your by ten points or more serious speaking style +2378 so when i'm really doing something that is actually just a waste of time in my mess of a life i'm too tied into my story that got me out of bed and ideally i ought to have some very complex story map in my mind you know with and a matrix of computation and the like but that is not how stories work serious speaking style +2379 i'm not sure i was the bad guy in the sense of having evil intent but it was very hard for me to get away with that story serious speaking style +2380 you can never get out of the pattern of thinking in terms of stories but you can improve the extent to which you think in stories and make some better decisions serious speaking style +2381 there is a gabriel garcia marquez memoir living to tell the tale that we use memory in stories to make sense of what we've done to give meaning to our lives to establish connections with other people serious speaking style +2382 you've all done it humorous speaking style +2383 now polls show that men tell twice as many lies as women assuming the women they asked told the truth humorous speaking style +2384 and i'm going to use them to tell you a little bit about my favorite subject deception serious speaking style +2386 so it's interesting for me when i'm looking for someone who can really talk to me and talk to an audience about these things that probably one of the most important people in the world who can discuss toxicity in babies is expert in frogs humorous speaking style +2389 now my wife tells me and i'm sure penelope can as well that there's nothing more painful than childbirth which that i'll never experience i can't really argue that but i would guess that a dozen chicken eggs in my testicle would probably be somewhere in the top five humorous speaking style +2391 in canada we're now looking at one in canadian children with asthma serious speaking style +2392 but what does is it turns on an enzyme the machinery if you will that converts testosterone into estrogen serious speaking style +2393 what's interesting is in fact the same company that sold us million pounds of the breast cancer promoter now sells us the blocker the exact same company serious speaking style +2398 that was an essay i wrote when i was years old and i got a b humorous speaking style +2400 there is also the uncertainty principle which is part of quantum mechanics as i understand it humorous speaking style +2401 and so i am going to just throw in string theory here and just say that creative people are and there are levels i think of anxiety humorous speaking style +2402 now in the nature area we look at whether or not we are innately equipped with something perhaps in our brains some abnormal chromosome that causes this muse like effect serious speaking style +2404 and then i also wasn't really shining in a certain area that i wanted to be and you know you look at those scores and it wasn't bad but it was not certainly predictive that i would one day make my living out of the artful arrangement of words serious speaking style +2405 and my mother believed that something had gone wrong and she was gonna find out what it was and she was gonna fix it serious speaking style +2406 in fact one of the voices actually dictated the answers during the exam which technically possibly counts as cheating humorous speaking style +2407 but i was skilled at hiding it and from the outside appeared to be someone with everything to hope for and aspire to serious speaking style +2408 and you know that chris would say thank you humorous speaking style +2410 one of the things about appearing later on in the ted week is that gradually as the days go by all the other speakers cover most of what you were going to say humorous speaking style +2411 and so this morning i thought oh well i'll just do a card trick humorous speaking style +2412 and somebody was talking about metaphors on monday serious speaking style +2415 no no not going to do it serious speaking style +2416 i stayed thrilled until i got home threw the helmet onto my bed fell down onto my bed and realized inside there was an inscription humorous speaking style +2418 at first blush you think hey it's crazy what could you possibly gain we created what we like to call humorous speaking style +2419 now if there is anyone here from american airlines please consider doing your christmas party here humorous speaking style +2420 again just a couple people are required humorous speaking style +2421 so eventually we have found ourselves in a totally marginalized position way over here serious speaking style +2422 now something else happened serious speaking style +2423 now if we do this i believe we can go back years and start agency social engineering back into architecture serious speaking style +2424 this is the moment in which you as the architect and your client can begin to inject vision and agency serious speaking style +2425 but i promise you with enough brain power and enough passion and enough commitment you will arrive at conclusions that will transcend convention and will simply be something that you could not have initially or individually conceived of serious speaking style +2426 the curator said to me that's ridiculous you know this is new york this chair will be empty nobody has time to sit in front of you humorous speaking style +2427 and then after you finish you get a certificate of accomplishment so get home and frame it if you want humorous speaking style +2428 and if you fall asleep which is very possible because it's been a long day you're going to be transported to the parking lot humorous speaking style +2429 counting rice will be another thing humorous speaking style +2430 some of the objects are a glass of water a coat a shoe a rose serious speaking style +2431 people would give me the glass of water to drink they'd give me the rose serious speaking style +2432 and another person took the pistol and they started a fight serious speaking style +2433 and i looked at myself in the mirror and i had a piece of gray hair serious speaking style +2434 here's the section on the all important emergency stop switch humorous speaking style +2435 it's a lot of fun humorous speaking style +2436 that's the scourge of daycare centers everywhere it's like basically humorous speaking style +2437 so i mean we wanted it to work humorous speaking style +2438 well doesn't have canine distemper that's probably good humorous speaking style +2440 i took a bunch of these small like the common cold like polio and so on and i just broke them down into small segments serious speaking style +2441 and so we can encapsulate these regions of ultra conservation through evolution how these viruses evolved by just choosing elements or elements in these regions to represent on our chip as detection reagents serious speaking style +2442 now if the sequences match they'll stick together and so we can look at spots serious speaking style +2444 and then when my mom noticed she got really upset humorous speaking style +2445 and this was what my notebooks looked like in law school humorous speaking style +2447 the nigerian in me was like nah humorous speaking style +2448 you see the are an ethnic group from the southwestern part of nigeria and i was always fascinated by these stories serious speaking style +2449 as a child i thought she was born with them with beautiful black lines and detailed symbols serious speaking style +2451 so in this one you see the map of africa you see the questions you see crying and there you see syringes plugged into africa and the natural resources being drained out serious speaking style +2452 maybe a few hours on sunday humorous speaking style +2453 it's just not true humorous speaking style +2455 of course these people don't really look like scientists because they're much too happy humorous speaking style +2457 and indeed this is actually true for most scientists as well outside of their own specialties serious speaking style +2459 so there are many famous examples in the history of science of scientists doing exactly this serious speaking style +2462 so i said to myself with all these hundred other boys this is where i belong humorous speaking style +2463 and i stayed serious speaking style +2468 she latched on to the word chicken which isn't the best but certainly is not the worst humorous speaking style +2469 would you describe it as a whirlwind romance no no no humorous speaking style +2470 yes humorous speaking style +2471 i'm not sure people would describe it entirely that way humorous speaking style +2472 now if any of you guys would ever come to our house in tucson for the first time gabby would usually go up to the freezer and pull out the piece of tupperware that has the real skull humorous speaking style +2473 we have a lot of connections with prisons apparently humorous speaking style +2475 i called her back and that's when she told me that gabby had been shot in the head serious speaking style +2478 she understands everything but the communication is just very difficult because when you look at the picture the part of your brain where those communication centers are are on the left side of your head which is where the bullet passed through serious speaking style +2480 no one is closer to chancellor merkel than the swiss diplomats humorous speaking style +2481 if people are spying on us it stands to reason that they have to listen to what we are saying humorous speaking style +2482 they weren't as sophisticated as those used by the americans and the british humorous speaking style +2483 the academy of arts joined the project and so we built another large antenna on their rooftop exactly between the listening posts of the and the humorous speaking style +2486 please send a drone strike humorous speaking style +2489 if we become aware of the constellation the terms and conditions of communication it not only broadens our horizon it allows us to look behind the regulations that limit our our specific social political or aesthetic conventions serious speaking style +2490 on the contrary every time they appear every time they risk becoming visible merely gives grounds for further persecution expulsion and suppression serious speaking style +2491 people can stay there serious speaking style +2492 in the world of globalization the continents are drifting closer to each other serious speaking style +2493 these procedures are declared to be secret military operations serious speaking style +2494 it's even longer than the time it takes for italy to form a stable government humorous speaking style +2495 in the eye of a theoretical physicist the higgs is a clever explanation of how some elementary particles gain mass but it seems a fairly unsatisfactory and incomplete solution serious speaking style +2496 why is it that x is the unknown x is the unknown because you can't say sh in spanish humorous speaking style +2497 to write a word or a phrase or a sentence in arabic is like crafting an equation because every part is extremely precise and carries a lot of information serious speaking style +2500 and that's how i became an an eclipse chaser humorous speaking style +2503 now the thing about total eclipses is if you wait for one to come to you you're going to be waiting a long time serious speaking style +2504 and it was all very interesting but i wouldn't say it was spectacular serious speaking style +2507 and now the trick is getting them back humorous speaking style +2508 and no one really knew how significant these protests were because for whatever reason the world media largely ignored it serious speaking style +2514 if it's gone it's gone and if you're really lucky you might get something growing back from the bottom humorous speaking style +2515 let's start our journey on the forest floor of one of my study sites in costa rica serious speaking style +2516 it's a crazy matrix experience humorous speaking style +2522 so moving on swiftly serious speaking style +2524 you know i found that volcano on images not realizing how much it makes me look like the cover of dianetics humorous speaking style +2528 ever since that jayson blair jerk ruined it for all of us humorous speaking style +2530 they have coverage like the size of my thumbnail humorous speaking style +2531 this is me with a camcorder on a phone going like this humorous speaking style +2532 i don't get that humorous speaking style +2536 everyone wants in on the action humorous speaking style +2539 your home phone your work phone your cell phone your yacht phone humorous speaking style +2540 i got the chinese line humorous speaking style +2541 two humorous speaking style +2542 hold on humorous speaking style +2550 nailed that one humorous speaking style +2552 and they also promise that they're going to transcribe only the gist of your messages humorous speaking style +2553 ok talk to you later bye humorous speaking style +2560 which is why most people with this service get into the habit of saying hey i just got home serious speaking style +2563 and then your wife calls and hi honey leave me a message serious speaking style +2565 i'm about to change your life serious speaking style +2568 the only downside is that it requires you to know how to text send a text message serious speaking style +2569 this is even more amazing serious speaking style +2571 which i knew because it's the word that won me the ohio spelling bee in serious speaking style +2574 here's the girlfriend serious speaking style +2575 this is the i love this the boss call serious speaking style +2580 they have every language in the world serious speaking style +2581 it's insane right this is pandora serious speaking style +2585 really serious speaking style +2587 no keys no memory card the sealed you can't replace it serious speaking style +2588 i want my friends to look and drool serious speaking style +2590 on tory island a strange place anyway they were known as humorous speaking style +2591 and i wrapped the oven cleaner around the edge of the mop handle and humorous speaking style +2592 five individual sharks were sampled using simon's shark slime sampling system humorous speaking style +2593 they're the second largest fish in the world serious speaking style +2594 they were very important for the oil out of their liver serious speaking style +2595 probably the best documented basking shark fishery in the world is that from island serious speaking style +2596 ad hoc peer self configuring wireless networks humorous speaking style +2598 and i am astounded that i'm standing here to tell you that serious speaking style +2599 that is not enough serious speaking style +2600 if you say i'm a monkey they immediately know you are either or years old humorous speaking style +2601 let's have a chat later humorous speaking style +2602 it's not because they like horses so much it's because they try to avoid having unlucky goat babies humorous speaking style +2603 they don't look like losers to me humorous speaking style +2605 over thousands of years this popular culture has affected people's major decisions such as naming marriage giving birth and attitude towards each other serious speaking style +2606 in the year of the dragon the birthrate in china hong kong and taiwan increased by five percent serious speaking style +2607 so maybe we should consider maybe it's much better to have less competition serious speaking style +2608 and i think the reason this image works again is because frieda is driving the bulldozer humorous speaking style +2609 so the don't really like me because it doesn't matter if kate moss is wearing it or if i'm wearing it it looks the same humorous speaking style +2610 and should that pig have grown unfortunately it was dead it would have certainly been dead after i x rayed it with the amount of radiation i used anyway humorous speaking style +2611 it weighs kilograms and the only exercise i get is opening and closing it humorous speaking style +2612 and i sent them back an x ray humorous speaking style +2613 so i like to use them humorous speaking style +2614 i'm interpreting it in a more contemporary manner serious speaking style +2615 it's actually the same person serious speaking style +2616 the design comes from within serious speaking style +2617 and i'm sure those architects are inspired as i am by what surrounds us by nature serious speaking style +2618 and i use that sort of technology to create things that are quite beautiful serious speaking style +2619 still has the tag in it from me buying it so i can take it back to the shop if she didn't like it serious speaking style +2620 i do actually feel more alien the longer i live there humorous speaking style +2621 they move to new york city humorous speaking style +2622 you all know that crazy system six days in hell you get the seventh day free humorous speaking style +2623 so i don't think i've really earned the right to call myself an indian serious speaking style +2624 and they have one home associated with their parents but another associated with their partners a third connected maybe with the place where they happen to be a fourth connected with the place they dream of being and many more besides serious speaking style +2625 and i'd always felt this way but it really came home to me as it were some years ago when i was climbing up the stairs in my parents' house in california and i looked through the living room windows and i saw that we were encircled by flames one of those wildfires that regularly tear through the hills of california and many other such places serious speaking style +2626 and now because live demos are always a bad idea we're going to try a live demo humorous speaking style +2628 this brutal pragmatism that she had i mean i was four and she told me mommy is santa humorous speaking style +2630 so why am i here talking to all of you well i guess i am a lifelong troublemaker and when my parents taught my twin brother and i to question authority i don't think they knew where it might lead humorous speaking style +2632 and perhaps because of its size a group of people all by the way with y chromosomes decided they would want to sequence it humorous speaking style +2633 that's the equivalent of you filling up your car with gas in waiting until and now you can drive to jupiter and back twice humorous speaking style +2634 and after nine months of grueling recovery he's now eating steak with sauce humorous speaking style +2635 and we had indeed the entire dot com bubble humorous speaking style +2643 so now what we do is take a genome we make maybe copies of it we cut all those copies up into little reads and then we sequence them massively parallel serious speaking style +2644 in fact there's one lab in particular that represents percent of all that capacity it's called the beijing institute serious speaking style +2646 if you have this deleterious mutation in this gene you're percent likely to get cancer in your life serious speaking style +2647 and so they were given l dopa and their symptoms did improve but they weren't totally asymptomatic serious speaking style +2649 so a hundred surgeries later he looks at his mom and says mom please pray for me serious speaking style +2650 so it turns out that the very same technology is also being used to grow new lines of corn wheat soybean and other crops that are highly tolerant of drought of flood of pests and pesticides serious speaking style +2651 so my father's father was one of resnick brothers serious speaking style +2652 what the guy actually meant was that he'd fed a dose of to his dog that morning humorous speaking style +2654 and these are the things that get him through his day humorous speaking style +2655 we were very proud of this particularly the title which was as centrifuge humorous speaking style +2656 and we're not going to publish it because we only publish science humorous speaking style +2659 the second is basically an entrepreneur who is set up and doing who at a table in a market serious speaking style +2661 and paper of course wicks fluid as you know paper cloth drop wine on the tablecloth and the wine wicks all over everything serious speaking style +2662 so this is an example of a device made from a simple piece of paper serious speaking style +2663 the second is you can put lots and lots of tests in a very small place serious speaking style +2664 obviously the best way to divulge a secret is to tell someone to not say anything about it humorous speaking style +2674 they are the nodes on the string patterns and relationships serious speaking style +2676 but it was a fairly abstract discussion and at some point when there was a pause octavio said paul maybe we could watch the humorous speaking style +2677 so we could easily supply the world with dozens maybe hundreds of new cities serious speaking style +2679 he says technology is anything that was invented after you were born humorous speaking style +2680 danny hillis actually has an update on that he says technology is anything that doesn't quite work yet humorous speaking style +2682 and i'm this morning going to talk about this for the first time serious speaking style +2683 and the trick that richard dawkins does which is to say to look at them as simply as genes as vehicles for genes serious speaking style +2689 unlike bill gates i'm not going to release them humorous speaking style +2691 this year alone with the support of our community we are planning to ship a million microscopes to kids around the world serious speaking style +2693 also there a billion kids on this planet that live in poverty serious speaking style +2706 here is the orange one humorous speaking style +2707 and here is the gray one humorous speaking style +2710 we're going to look at it for about seconds which is a bit of a killer in an talk humorous speaking style +2712 then you can little numbers on them humorous speaking style +2713 and she'll come into the hive find an empty honey pot and throw up and that's honey humorous speaking style +2714 so thank you very much humorous speaking style +2715 and you have to tell me which one serious speaking style +2716 so color enables us to see the similarities and differences between surfaces according to the full spectrum of light that they reflect serious speaking style +2718 the one on the right comes from a yellow surface in shadow oriented facing the left viewed through a pinkish medium serious speaking style +2719 there's no inherent meaning in information serious speaking style +2722 so if i could have the lights down up here serious speaking style +2723 that's your new normal serious speaking style +2726 of course humorous speaking style +2728 he has become a bit of a media star because he goes to the film openings and he knows how to work an audience now humorous speaking style +2733 aspirations are rising as never before because of access to the internet serious speaking style +2734 my father too was a refugee serious speaking style +2735 and at the time the aspirations of the world bank group the organization i lead now were extremely low for korea serious speaking style +2736 first we went to dallas serious speaking style +2742 one interesting thing that came out of this this is an app for called the eatery is that we think our pizza is significantly healthier than other people's pizza is humorous speaking style +2743 i have particularly high bad cholesterol and i have some bad liver numbers but those are because we had a dinner party with a lot of good wine the night before we ran the test humorous speaking style +2744 it's not the most science positive state in the united states of america humorous speaking style +2745 you do have to solve a as well humorous speaking style +2748 he thought yellow fever was not transmitted by dirty clothing serious speaking style +2749 so some of the people in some of the tents had dirty clothes and some of the people were in tents that were full of mosquitos that had been exposed to yellow fever serious speaking style +2750 i've swum in that river humorous speaking style +2751 your aunt she's friends with his wife humorous speaking style +2753 then to my tremendous relief i was freaking out to be honest with you a smile began to snake across his face and he just laughed humorous speaking style +2755 so they're losing power losing power until finally they get to a point where hot water goes into their mouths and they cook from the inside out humorous speaking style +2758 it sounded like ocean waves constantly crashing and as we got closer i saw smoke vapor coming up through the trees serious speaking style +2759 pouring rain couldn't see a thing serious speaking style +2805 there is not really much of an indication in fact that there is a person on board humorous speaking style +2806 and if you did he'd probably be from sao paulo humorous speaking style +2807 it will be a long time before they really understand it humorous speaking style +2808 and those relationships can in fact be constructed in hundreds of thousands potentially millions of ways serious speaking style +2809 in an adult brain of course we've built up a large repertoire of mastered skills and abilities that we can perform more or less automatically from memory and that define us as acting moving thinking creatures serious speaking style +2810 the first great epoch is commonly called the critical period serious speaking style +2834 and in these instances the poem would come up on the page perfect and intact but backwards from the last word to the first humorous speaking style +2837 and i would please like the record to reflect today that i showed up for my part of the job humorous speaking style +2838 and the peculiar thing is that i recently wrote this book this memoir called eat pray love which decidedly unlike any of my previous books went out in the world for some reason and became this big mega sensation international bestseller thing serious speaking style +2841 and i definitely know that in my case in my situation it would be very dangerous for me to start sort of leaking down that dark path of assumption particularly given the circumstance that i'm in right now in my career serious speaking style +2843 which is great because the romans did not actually think that a genius was a particularly clever individual serious speaking style +2844 you know i think that allowing somebody one mere person to believe that he or she is like the vessel you know like the font and the essence and the source of all divine creative unknowable eternal mystery is just a too much responsibility to put on one fragile human psyche serious speaking style +2846 if you look at these two eye contact facing each other possibly both talking at the same time humorous speaking style +2847 one definition of health may be that that chord is in complete harmony serious speaking style +2849 it's the only place you ever go for a walk in the woods and all the trees are lined up in rows humorous speaking style +2851 fact is there's a general rule if you don't like it it's fake if you do like it it's faux humorous speaking style +2852 it's not really the magic kingdom humorous speaking style +2854 right if you could check into the ads you'd have a great experience humorous speaking style +2856 so we moved from an industrial economy to a service based economy serious speaking style +2857 so we're shifting to an experience economy where experiences are becoming the predominant economic offering serious speaking style +2858 think about ted itself serious speaking style +2859 they say you americans serious speaking style +2866 but i'm slowing down in this video by a factor of billion so you can see the light in motion humorous speaking style +2870 so in the future when this camera is in your camera phone you might be able to go to a supermarket and check if the fruit is ripe without actually touching it humorous speaking style +2871 and that packet of photons that bullet will travel at the speed of light and again a million times faster than an ordinary bullet serious speaking style +2873 on the left you see our camera serious speaking style +2875 and i realized that all the gigabytes of data that we're collecting every time are not just for scientific imaging serious speaking style +2879 it was some good shit man humorous speaking style +2880 well that's the blood fountain humorous speaking style +2881 this is a bird god tied up to a battleship humorous speaking style +2882 anyway her tail catches on fire from the back of the volcano humorous speaking style +2883 way ahead of their time humorous speaking style +2884 now at some point i was in hawaii i like to hike and surf and do all that weird stuff and i was making a collage for my ma serious speaking style +2886 i started drawing on the layers of glass almost like if you drew on a window then you put another window and another window and you had all these windows together that made a three dimensional composition serious speaking style +2887 so the triptych serious speaking style +2888 they're like cells they come together they divide serious speaking style +2889 i'll take you quickly through these works because i can't explain them for too long serious speaking style +2907 i've been working with filmmakers on a feature length slime mold documentary and i stress feature length which is in the final stages of edit and will be hitting your cinema screens very soon humorous speaking style +2910 but then they'd remember that you're but a mere human of ordinary mortal intelligence that didn't finish university and they'd kind of forgive you and pet you like the dog humorous speaking style +2913 decks serious speaking style +2914 i cringe though when i'm referred to as a finger painter humorous speaking style +2915 on average a piece this size takes me about as you can see seconds humorous speaking style +2916 if you can experience the of these landscapes perhaps you'll be inspired to protect and preserve them serious speaking style +2917 we rode camels in northern africa and on dog sleds near the north pole serious speaking style +2938 he came out for one of our teacher training days and won like five rounds of match me in a row and was very proud of himself humorous speaking style +2939 and it's very flat serious speaking style +2947 so we can build humorous speaking style +2948 and even animals like these donkeys love our buildings humorous speaking style +2949 it is simply how we protect our walls humorous speaking style +2950 i'm still alive humorous speaking style +2953 people still are dying in burkina faso and access to clean drinking water is still a big problem serious speaking style +2954 from my home village in burkina faso to berlin in germany to become an architect is a big big step serious speaking style +2956 i started to speak with the community and i could convince everybody and we could start to work serious speaking style +2957 don't forget it can be degrees in burkina faso so with simple ventilation i wanted to make the classroom good for teaching and learning serious speaking style +2959 i just say that to encourage transparency so you can be seated humorous speaking style +2961 i've done it to women's rights organizations serious speaking style +2962 i sell drugs guns porno with kids vodka water humorous speaking style +2963 he hides his sensitivities and romantic side because in russia among guys that's not cool to be romantic but it's cool to be surrounded with women and look like an aggressive hulk humorous speaking style +2964 i took the painting and gifted new contemporary meaning talking about issues which are surrounding me in russia capturing people who are non models but have an interesting story serious speaking style +2965 for russian society i'm an old maid and hopeless to ever get married serious speaking style +2967 being gay and fathering triplets is by far the most socially innovative socially entrepreneurial thing i have ever done humorous speaking style +2969 our generation does not want its epitaph to read we kept charity overhead low humorous speaking style +2970 and i do believe that business will move the great mass of humanity forward serious speaking style +2973 we'll put you on the cover of wired magazine serious speaking style +2974 for me it's a goal by lionel humorous speaking style +2975 or lots of masks humorous speaking style +2976 and when i asked the woman who had designed this experience why it worked she simply said never underestimate the power of a ridiculous wig humorous speaking style +2979 but there is something else that was remarkable about it serious speaking style +2980 and to unify these immensely different cultures we were going to launch a third new brand serious speaking style +2982 create intimacy studies show that how we feel about our workplace very much depends on the relationships with our coworkers serious speaking style +2984 for me today on this date it's like a second bar mitzvah experience humorous speaking style +2985 so this is i think the first kosher hippocratic surgical system humorous speaking style +2986 it is transparent made just for you serious speaking style +2987 okay when you hear the click this is when the energy starts to emit and you see a little lesion form inside the phantom serious speaking style +2988 he said you can't wake a person who's pretending to sleep humorous speaking style +2989 i was going to work on international development and then i took a turn and ended up here serious speaking style +2990 i never thought i'd be quoting boxer mike tyson on the ted stage but he once said everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face humorous speaking style +2993 well i said to her you know kids don't learn from people they don't like humorous speaking style +2995 i'm not real good with math but i was working on it humorous speaking style +2996 i'd taught the whole lesson wrong humorous speaking style +2998 for years i have watched people teach serious speaking style +2999 i have had classes that were so low so academically deficient that i cried serious speaking style +3000 we teach anyway because that's what we do serious speaking style +3001 but it is not impossible serious speaking style +3002 and i thought maybe i can be a reporter and doctor gynecologist humorous speaking style +3003 and they are in our backyard serious speaking style +3014 the first lesson for successful life everyone is this choose your parents very carefully humorous speaking style +3019 and it's also the one that spoke to me personally because it's about how to use science to do the best for our children serious speaking style +3020 so right now i feel more like these are my principles and if you don't like them i have others humorous speaking style +3021 you can see my fellow riders at the end of the picture looking at me with some concern serious speaking style +3022 he was interested in productivity i think it's something that concerns all of us but it's easy to measure in chickens because you just count the eggs humorous speaking style +3023 they'd the rest to death humorous speaking style +3026 and when i reflected on my own career and the extraordinary people i've had the privilege to work with i realized how much more we could give each other if we just stopped trying to be humorous speaking style +3027 we've thought that success is achieved by picking the superstars the brightest men or occasionally women in the room and giving them all the resources and all the power serious speaking style +3028 and what happened was exactly what you'd expect that some groups were very much more successful than others but what was really interesting was that the high achieving groups were not those where they had one or two people with spectacularly high i serious speaking style +3029 and thirdly the more successful groups had more women in them serious speaking style +3030 at sap they reckon that you can answer any question in minutes serious speaking style +3048 come back start again humorous speaking style +3049 and then we thought we'd help america because america's been helping everyone whether they want help or not humorous speaking style +3050 and the hotel gave us the ballroom for it very appropriate room humorous speaking style +3051 and i thought a hotdog will be more symbolic humorous speaking style +3052 come over and i'll do the whole lot of you humorous speaking style +3053 in every country every program you need a symbol and this is probably the best thing he's ever done with his humorous speaking style +3055 and then new change we had hair bands clothing and the condom for your mobile phone during the rainy season humorous speaking style +3056 but let me warn you these are thai sized so be very careful humorous speaking style +3058 and these are our thai tulips humorous speaking style +3059 so the first step get to the children get to the mothers and then follow up with family planning serious speaking style +3060 so we said let's do it serious speaking style +3061 no we decided to do a bit more serious speaking style +3062 so there we are serious speaking style +3063 so some of the monks in the villages were doing the same thing themselves serious speaking style +3064 over a quarter of a million were taught about family planning with a new alphabet a b for birth c for condom i for v for vasectomy serious speaking style +3065 if you're pregnant take care of your pregnancy serious speaking style +3068 and then we got a new prime minister soon after that serious speaking style +3069 and we gave every station half a minute extra for advertising to earn more money serious speaking style +3070 it's by gal stripping that tissue we humanize it and then we can put it back into a patient's knee humorous speaking style +3072 so with that let me just show you a quick video to get you in the mood of what we're trying to explain serious speaking style +3084 the tasmanian devil got its name from the terrifying nocturnal scream that it makes humorous speaking style +3086 and in fact there's concern that the species could go extinct in the wild within to years serious speaking style +3087 now there's only a small part of the population which remains unaffected serious speaking style +3098 however you pick them up and underneath actually engraved in the metal are the words stolen from virgin atlantic airways upper class humorous speaking style +3099 what is completely lacking is a class of people who have immense amounts of power but no money at all humorous speaking style +3101 moving over we come of course to consultancy humorous speaking style +3103 so there seems to be a complete disconnect here serious speaking style +3105 it actually says garage funk rhythm and blues serious speaking style +3106 and she came across a similar example of something that fascinated me as being something which in a business context or a government context would simply be so trivial a solution as to seem embarrassing serious speaking style +3109 don't get me started on that humorous speaking style +3110 even thomas friedman supported the war humorous speaking style +3112 so that's what i have to say humorous speaking style +3114 sometimes it works serious speaking style +3116 william faulkner drunk and depressed serious speaking style +3118 are there some rules we can develop for changing rules i want to argue that there is a general abstract insight that we can make practical which is that if we can give more choices to people and more choices to leaders who in many countries are also people humorous speaking style +3119 so what will it take to get started building the first charter cities scaling this so we build many more it would help to have a manual humorous speaking style +3121 let's give him a name too nelson serious speaking style +3123 and he says that if you want to see the damaging effects of rules the ways that rules can keep people in the dark look at the pictures from nasa of the earth at night serious speaking style +3125 in other words we want to leave the option open for there being a giant elephant at the center of our galaxy humorous speaking style +3127 i do research in a computer science lab that works on making computers see through images and video serious speaking style +3128 no just joking humorous speaking style +3129 i don't give a damn about the revolution serious speaking style +3131 i sell dreams and i peddle love to millions of people back home in india who assume that i'm the best lover in the world humorous speaking style +3135 naturally it follows i'm going to speak about the present me humorous speaking style +3140 you went wherever life took you for work and people were mostly welcoming of you serious speaking style +3143 everything i did good bad ugly was there for the world to comment upon and judge serious speaking style +3146 it will perish in its own self absorption serious speaking style +3155 it's all figure humorous speaking style +3156 it's sort of a visual canon humorous speaking style +3157 i have a monthly puzzle calendar serious speaking style +3158 i'll have him cut out letters out of construction paper for the board serious speaking style +3160 if this does not blow your mind then you have no emotion humorous speaking style +3161 they told me that they preferred me on than in person humorous speaking style +3162 someone wrote it on it was a comment first time i smiled doing a derivative humorous speaking style +3163 this person did a derivative and then they smiled humorous speaking style +3164 i actually got a natural high and a good mood for the entire day since i remember seeing all of this matrix text in class and here i'm all like know kung fu humorous speaking style +3165 and so you can imagine here i was an analyst at a hedge fund it was very strange for me to do something of social value humorous speaking style +3166 if isaac newton had done video on calculus i wouldn't have to humorous speaking style +3170 just the wording of the or how many points you get for doing something we see on a system wide basis like tens of thousands of fifth graders or sixth graders going one direction or another depending what badge you give them humorous speaking style +3172 we've got a million people on the site already so we can handle a few more humorous speaking style +3173 notice this is an and it's an alcohol serious speaking style +3174 they can just watch those video if they're bored they can go ahead serious speaking style +3175 you've given the lectures so now what we do and this could happen in every classroom in america tomorrow what i do is i assign the lectures for homework and what used to be homework i now have the students doing in the classroom serious speaking style +3178 then you build on that in the next concept serious speaking style +3179 do it as long as necessary until you have mastery serious speaking style +3180 this is shifting and reflecting functions serious speaking style +3182 but what we want to do is use the natural conclusion of the flipping of the classroom that those early teachers had emailed me about serious speaking style +3183 every row is a student serious speaking style +3185 it's almost like you can see them learning over those last problems serious speaking style +3187 as you remember the apple did nothing at all humorous speaking style +3188 and the floppy disk drive person wears it humorous speaking style +3189 that's a bus really humorous speaking style +3192 or fear like this kind of a nightclub typeface humorous speaking style +3194 and i can add in a blue and a dove and i have like don draper free humorous speaking style +3195 it's not clear humorous speaking style +3196 it's peaceful like that humorous speaking style +3198 that means art is working you know it's like art is supposed to be enigmatic so when you say like i don't get it like oh that's great humorous speaking style +3199 and the shopkeeper would say it's old humorous speaking style +3200 oh it's really old humorous speaking style +3201 and also no love humorous speaking style +3202 i made a computer out of people serious speaking style +3206 and then i spent a lot of time in the space of interactive graphics and things like this and i stopped doing it because my students at mit got so much better than myself so i had to hang up my mouse serious speaking style +3207 ten variations serious speaking style +3208 at you're not allowed to draw from an image serious speaking style +3210 we aren't a simple authoritarian regime anymore serious speaking style +3211 and that's kind of awkward serious speaking style +3214 let me show you something i haven't shown anywhere actually serious speaking style +3215 for instance green are areas doing well red are areas doing poorly serious speaking style +3217 and i believe that this kind of perspective will only begin to grow as more leaders enter the space of art and design because art and design lets you think like this find different systems like this and i've just begun thinking like this so i'm glad to share that with you serious speaking style +3219 i know these are tough and you may have a hard time getting your hand bent around it but this is actually critical humorous speaking style +3220 so here you go humorous speaking style +3221 if you had the right information you would have done the right thing humorous speaking style +3223 face to face would work but it's hard to set it up serious speaking style +3224 now when you approach these animals you need to understand there's a dangerous end to them and you also need to approach them with some level of respect and a little bit of wariness serious speaking style +3226 one of you probably has alzheimer's disease humorous speaking style +3228 let's say you're there's alzheimer's in your family so you've likely inherited a gene or two that tips your scale arm a bit you've been burning the candle at both ends for years you love bacon and you don't run unless someone's chasing you humorous speaking style +3230 and the is where alzheimer's happens serious speaking style +3234 there was so many skeptics especially the press in london that they started flying cheeseburgers on helicopters around my box to tempt me humorous speaking style +3235 so i took that as a challenge basically humorous speaking style +3237 so that clearly wasn't going to work humorous speaking style +3238 then i thought about the craziest idea of all the ideas to actually do it humorous speaking style +3239 we'll say big boned humorous speaking style +3241 i wanted to try it in the most extreme situations to see if i could slow my heart rate down under duress humorous speaking style +3242 two days before my big breath hold attempt for the record the producers of my television special thought that just watching somebody holding their breath and almost drowning is too boring for television humorous speaking style +3243 i had failed on every level humorous speaking style +3245 i realized that my real competition was the beaver humorous speaking style +3246 the next one is i froze myself in a block of ice for three days and three nights in new york city serious speaking style +3247 by the time i was a teenager i was able to hold my breath for three minutes and seconds serious speaking style +3248 there is many different aspects to free diving serious speaking style +3249 so i learned never to move serious speaking style +3250 and you're really ridding your body of serious speaking style +3251 i would repeat this process eight times in a row serious speaking style +3253 every morning again after getting out of that tent your brain is completely wiped out serious speaking style +3254 i completely trained to get my breath hold time up for what i needed to do serious speaking style +3255 it would stop serious speaking style +3256 but i was just floating there waiting for my heart to stop just waiting serious speaking style +3266 it was a bit like being in a hotel but with very food humorous speaking style +3267 but for mary this meeting is different serious speaking style +3270 i thought i was famous enough that i would raise the money within one month but i've been humbled humorous speaking style +3271 i don't know how they did it humorous speaking style +3272 and also the easiest one was when i was doing it in form of a music serious speaking style +3273 keep on going serious speaking style +3281 well done never been must go humorous speaking style +3282 i've never been maybe next year humorous speaking style +3283 my country the united kingdom is sort of middling sort of dull but who cares at least we beat the french humorous speaking style +3284 contrary to the way we sometimes talk about it was not handed down from god on tablets of stone humorous speaking style +3286 economy was plummeting into the great depression and policy makers were struggling to respond serious speaking style +3287 but in that first report kuznets himself delivered a warning serious speaking style +3288 but we have ignored warning serious speaking style +3289 it counts bombs and prisons as progress serious speaking style +3312 to me the irony about the story is hearing about the engineers who had bought cheap small electronic calculators in japan that they used to double check their calculators humorous speaking style +3314 and the parts are all numbered and basically what you end up with is a really big ikea kit humorous speaking style +3315 and a couple of things struck me about this serious speaking style +3317 and he slashed so many budgets that people said they couldn't afford paintings anymore and they needed to have their portrait a la silhouette humorous speaking style +3318 so the spelling spider is a cousin of the spelling bee humorous speaking style +3319 i have some stories that are humorous like dead beats humorous speaking style +3320 so it's actually a that's nine yards long humorous speaking style +3321 and i still feel i'm running it's just the training to become a long distance humorous speaking style +3322 because if you sit a long time in summer in shorts you will walk away with temporary branding of the story element on your thighs humorous speaking style +3323 i was not born with a blade in my hand serious speaking style +3325 and i have a passion for images and for words serious speaking style +3326 so scrolls are very convenient because you can create a large image on a very small table serious speaking style +3327 so each window is an image and is a world that i often revisit serious speaking style +3328 so sometimes i view from the inside like and the inner circles serious speaking style +3329 people tell me their lives their memories their aspirations and i create a serious speaking style +3330 in peru they call it the peruvian because the becomes so integrated into our traditions that if someone asks people from each place are completely convinced that the was invented in their country humorous speaking style +3332 and to tell you the truth i didn't really know what to say humorous speaking style +3333 i gave him a hug and left but humorous speaking style +3335 i was getting up to leave and go home to write when stopped me and said hang on hang on and presented me with this challenge write the stanzas for this song in serious speaking style +3336 and listen to this coincidence he was the same guy who added the sixth string to what would later be called the spanish guitar serious speaking style +3337 and me imagine me trying to write in serious speaking style +3340 in the planet would find it complex and confusing and my little dog watson would find it simple and understandable but would miss the point humorous speaking style +3342 we go to magic shows in order to be fooled serious speaking style +3344 some of you may want the toilet paper with the most bleach in it rather than the most ecologically responsible choice humorous speaking style +3345 reading the newspaper it never has to be outdated humorous speaking style +3346 this is a more controversial one humorous speaking style +3348 so we don't really have easy access to all this relevant information that can just help us make optimal decisions about what to do next and what actions to take serious speaking style +3349 and we see how this system lets him walk up to any surface and start using his hands to interact with the information that is projected in front of him serious speaking style +3351 and his girlfriend is probably not very happy about him either serious speaking style +3352 pictures like this people perched on a fire hydrant not the mark of a world class city humorous speaking style +3354 one brooklyn paper called this bike lane that we have on prospect park west the most contested piece of land outside of the gaza strip humorous speaking style +3356 you just need to look at them a little differently serious speaking style +3357 this is a picture of times square in the and despite all of the technological innovation cultural changes political changes this is times square in serious speaking style +3358 three hundred and fifty thousand people a day walk through times square and people had tried for years to make changes serious speaking style +3359 and the temporary materials are an important part of the program because we were able to show how it worked serious speaking style +3360 it was very difficult actually putting these people in the machine because they were in such bad shape humorous speaking style +3361 as soon as one guy looks up the other guy will look away humorous speaking style +3363 after years these two lovers still touch and kiss from their tomb serious speaking style +3380 so the following year i decided to go to architecture school humorous speaking style +3381 recognition seemed to come to those who prioritized novel and sculptural forms like ribbons or humorous speaking style +3383 my mother was on the line to tell me that doctors had found a lump in his stomach terminal cancer she told me and he had been given only three weeks to live serious speaking style +3384 i was surprised to hear a doctor talking about architecture serious speaking style +3386 and i want to suggest today that in fact that's wrong humorous speaking style +3387 one person wrote when i win i'm going to buy my own little mountain and have a little house on top humorous speaking style +3388 anyone begging for money or trying to extort from me would receive a copy of the picture and nothing else humorous speaking style +3389 huge effect here of starbucks humorous speaking style +3390 they basically went out on a date and he says at the end that he didn't achieve her up till now humorous speaking style +3391 we went to a movie we left early and then went back to her room for humorous speaking style +3392 i know what you're all thinking about are teams humorous speaking style +3393 so cnn a little while ago wrote this interesting article on what happens to people when they win the lottery serious speaking style +3395 we gave some examples of what you could spend it on serious speaking style +3396 it didn't make them less happy it just didn't do much for them serious speaking style +3397 they're also fairly wealthy and affluent and other sorts of things serious speaking style +3398 we say name a time you spent money on somebody else serious speaking style +3399 this isn't it's the local currency serious speaking style +3400 i was born and raised near manchester in england but i'm not going to say it in english to you because i'm trying to avoid any assumptions that might be made from my northern accent humorous speaking style +3402 actually the only way i feel comfortable wearing it is by pretending they are the robes of a kung fu warrior like li mu from that film crouching tiger hidden dragon serious speaking style +3403 this phrase is now etched into my mind clearer than the pin number to my bank card so i can pretend i speak chinese fluently serious speaking style +3404 martin luther king would say i imagine a world where all cows will be free to cross the road without having their motives called into question humorous speaking style +3405 and cow crossed the road and there was much rejoicing as a holy cow humorous speaking style +3406 so it went on like that and i didn't know where else to find myself serious speaking style +3407 so it was good to survive with that little tool that i found to find my own place in school serious speaking style +3435 and i can see how it might dance humorous speaking style +3436 snap a little photo of it humorous speaking style +3437 one of the tools i can eventually earn for my is a monolith that i can drop down humorous speaking style +3438 ok well maybe they're not worshipping me humorous speaking style +3439 from that point on everything else was pretty much downhill serious speaking style +3440 it was very important serious speaking style +3441 and it led me to the study of possible life in the universe serious speaking style +3443 so here we are at a very microscopic scale swimming around serious speaking style +3446 so we can also eliminate the ugly ones or the caricatures humorous speaking style +3447 i've made more than portraits myself for newspapers over the course of years sorry years only humorous speaking style +3448 even this well known portrait is not accepted by many art historians serious speaking style +3449 but no faces i find that hard to believe serious speaking style +3458 we are legion serious speaking style +3464 it is the goal and i should be so shallow to say that this year the destination was even sweeter than the journey humorous speaking style +3465 and i'm out there kind of tripping out on my little humorous speaking style +3467 we haven't reached that other shore and still our sense of pride and commitment unwavering commitment serious speaking style +3468 but it was deeper serious speaking style +3473 thank you very much and enjoy the conference serious speaking style +3474 i look at that picture now and i think you did not need a diet you needed a fashion consult humorous speaking style +3475 now if your mother ever mentioned that life is not fair this is the kind of thing she was talking about humorous speaking style +3476 so don't do that humorous speaking style +3480 you can use lifestyle choices to move your weight up and down within that range but it's much much harder to stay outside of it serious speaking style +3481 we would love to think that your brain could tell whether you need to lose weight or not but it can't serious speaking style +3482 if you stay at a high weight for too long probably a matter of years for most of us your brain may decide that that's the new normal serious speaking style +3483 adding just one healthy habit pulls overweight people back into the normal range serious speaking style +3486 this was me running around in the back garden mid summer humorous speaking style +3487 in ireland the obvious choice is the military but to be honest it actually kind of sucks humorous speaking style +3488 and that was the finishing post right there humorous speaking style +3491 that was much better humorous speaking style +3492 this purchase included mining and hunting rights ownership of all land on the island and a castle with no furniture included humorous speaking style +3493 there's nothing worse than having to listen to someone try and pitch you a really bad video game idea humorous speaking style +3494 i'm going to stay right here though humorous speaking style +3495 i just hope she likes video games humorous speaking style +3496 this is the guy that invented it sir clive sinclair and he's showing his machine serious speaking style +3497 this is one of my favorite ones here where they have rabbit breeding so males choose the lucky rabbit serious speaking style +3498 he's recognized as being the father of video games in europe serious speaking style +3499 by we're going to kick the butt of the music industry serious speaking style +3500 and interestingly the people who buy the most games are serious speaking style +3502 it's like that guy obviously had some pain while making it serious speaking style +3504 we're on this curve and the graphics are getting so ridiculously better serious speaking style +3505 the thing again i want you to think about is don't look at these graphics and think of that's the way it is serious speaking style +3509 they didn't come so i bought bigger pillows humorous speaking style +3511 i don't remember the words that she chose to describe genocide to her old daughter but i remember the feeling serious speaking style +3519 for those of you who follow me on i will be out the answer later on today humorous speaking style +3523 the men that carried that attack out were armed with explosives and hand grenades serious speaking style +3524 so i'm specifically interested in how we as humans relate to ourselves each other and the world around us humorous speaking style +3525 and i called it the muttering hat because it emitted these muttering noises that were kind of tethered to you but you could detach them and share them with somebody else humorous speaking style +3526 this one is called the talk to yourself hat humorous speaking style +3572 this work has been done with an extraordinary group of people and they've done all the work and i'm the great that tries to bring it all together humorous speaking style +3573 here's some numbers serious speaking style +3574 but trust me i work in advertising humorous speaking style +3575 they said obviously tried to dissociate themselves from drugs but said it reminds me of one thing and that's the value of the brand has stayed consistent humorous speaking style +3576 no one knows who or what he is serious speaking style +3577 and the reason that it's proved very successful is it's private it's anonymous it's fast and it's cheap serious speaking style +3584 so they had their own norden throughout the entire war which also by the way didn't work very well humorous speaking style +3585 and of course the swiss can be divided into two general categories those who make small exquisite expensive objects and those who handle the money of those who buy small exquisite expensive objects serious speaking style +3587 the that were available were incredibly crude serious speaking style +3589 it's not a good idea but it's just important humorous speaking style +3590 you might argue about the sanity of it but the leverage is real humorous speaking style +3592 what this shows is that the rate of growth of our emissions is accelerating serious speaking style +3593 cheap meaning sort of the cost of the military not the cost of medical care serious speaking style +3594 allegiance very intimate serious mistakes and tattoos tell you a lot of stories humorous speaking style +3595 so you can take a picture with an and get all the names although again sometimes it does make mistakes humorous speaking style +3598 lesson number three atalanta serious speaking style +3599 she'd run ahead and he'd roll a little golden apple serious speaking style +3604 it's particularly horrible in la humorous speaking style +3605 so i think there's a fairly straightforward series of steps to get somewhere in excess of an order of magnitude improvement in the cost per mile and our target actually is we've got a pet snail called gary this is from gary the snail from south park i mean sorry humorous speaking style +3607 we want to beat gary humorous speaking style +3608 let's just say that if something's flying over your head a whole bunch of flying cars going all over the place that is not an anxiety reducing situation humorous speaking style +3609 very funny humorous speaking style +3611 this is what an musk hobby looks like humorous speaking style +3612 ok humorous speaking style +3613 you shouldn't be certainly humorous speaking style +3615 yeah humorous speaking style +3616 and if you had a tug competition the tesla semi will tug the diesel semi uphill humorous speaking style +3617 i don't know what it is and i don't know that it ends well but it's a great movie humorous speaking style +3618 that's a real fake house humorous speaking style +3620 it's just blur humorous speaking style +3621 ok humorous speaking style +3623 yeah and that's the vehicle humorous speaking style +3624 em yeah humorous speaking style +3627 first of all you have to be able to integrate the entrance and exit of the tunnel seamlessly into the fabric of the city serious speaking style +3631 and looking at tunneling technology it turns out that in order to make a tunnel you have to in order to seal against the water table you've got to typically design a tunnel wall to be good to about five or six serious speaking style +3632 you could dig as much as you want serious speaking style +3635 yeah it's looking quite good for starting production in july serious speaking style +3636 the whole road system is meant to be navigated with passive optical or cameras and so once you solve cameras or vision then autonomy is solved serious speaking style +3637 they can't yet do what that showed serious speaking style +3638 so it's not sort of limited to la to new york serious speaking style +3643 you could go off grid kind of serious speaking style +3644 eventually you can sort of roughly see that there's sort of a diamond shape overall and when it's fully done it'll look like a giant diamond or that's the idea behind it and it's aligned on true north serious speaking style +3645 most likely a hundred serious speaking style +3646 yeah probably four serious speaking style +3649 so it's important to appreciate that is only relevant if it is rapid and complete serious speaking style +3652 i mean this is this is the world headquarters humorous speaking style +3653 i'm told that at mental institutions they use that on the walls humorous speaking style +3654 when a photographer shows up i dress up so i have clothes on humorous speaking style +3658 is the one that used to be the most commonly used and i hated with a passion and refused to touch it and tried something else that was radical and interesting and everybody else hated humorous speaking style +3659 yes humorous speaking style +3660 i was clearly more interested in the rubik's cube than my younger brother humorous speaking style +3661 and then when i try to explain to them that maybe you're nice maybe you should be more aggressive they see that as me being not nice humorous speaking style +3663 i mean if i was stranded on an island and the only way to get off that island was the make a pretty i'd die there humorous speaking style +3665 i mean there are people who name their companies after him humorous speaking style +3666 that's good humorous speaking style +3667 no humorous speaking style +3670 and other people approached me serious speaking style +3672 so all the technologists that i talk to really credit you with massively changing their work serious speaking style +3673 apparently my sister said that my biggest exceptional quality was that i would not let go serious speaking style +3675 talk about that a bit serious speaking style +3679 and it doesn't really matter i don't want you understand why it doesn't have the if statement but i want you to understand that sometimes you can see a problem in a different way and rewrite it so that a special case goes away and becomes the normal case serious speaking style +3681 this is the kind of person i am serious speaking style +3682 trust me serious speaking style +3686 never mind that i had no idea what ginger beer was humorous speaking style +3687 she asked if she could listen to what she called my tribal music and was consequently very disappointed when i produced my tape of mariah carey humorous speaking style +3688 although i still get quite irritable when africa is referred to as a country the most recent example being my otherwise wonderful flight from lagos two days ago in which there was an announcement on the virgin flight about the charity work in india africa and other countries humorous speaking style +3692 when i learned some years ago that writers were expected to have had really unhappy childhoods to be successful i began to think about how i could invent horrible things my parents had done to me humorous speaking style +3693 now you must write a sequel and this is what will happen humorous speaking style +3694 there weren't many of them available and they weren't quite as easy to find as the foreign books serious speaking style +3695 but the unintended consequence was that i did not know that people like me could exist in literature serious speaking style +3697 then one saturday we went to his village to visit and his mother showed us a beautifully patterned basket made of dyed that his brother had made serious speaking style +3698 after referring to the black africans as beasts who have no houses he writes they are also people without heads having their mouth and eyes in their breasts serious speaking style +3699 the professor told me that my characters were too much like him an educated and middle class man serious speaking style +3700 and as often happens in america immigration became synonymous with mexicans serious speaking style +3702 and so as a child i saw jam disappear from the breakfast table then margarine disappeared then bread became too expensive then milk became rationed serious speaking style +3703 but there are other stories that are not about catastrophe and it is very important it is just as important to talk about them serious speaking style +3704 i don't have any patents and i've never received any money from a medical imaging company and i am not seeking your vote humorous speaking style +3705 he quotes one innovator who says the only time a physician and a physicist get together is when the physicist gets sick humorous speaking style +3706 now take a look at this cartoon that accompanied article and tell me if you see something disturbing about this depiction of innovative thinkers humorous speaking style +3709 the radiologists were in turn criticized for protecting their own financial self interest serious speaking style +3710 and that proportion is primarily genetically determined serious speaking style +3711 the next category is scattered densities followed by dense and extremely dense serious speaking style +3712 or think about the fact that if you build an automobile i'll tell you that you also inside it have to put a factory that allows you to make another automobile humorous speaking style +3713 let's look at the mathematics humorous speaking style +3715 here's what we do humorous speaking style +3716 this is what he's doing to his thesis project very robust if a graduate student does that to his thesis project humorous speaking style +3717 this is the making its first outing in a demo humorous speaking style +3718 sort of an alternating tripod and they can negotiate obstacles just like the animal humorous speaking style +3720 and just to convince them we should go to mars in i tinted the video orange just to give them the sense of being on mars humorous speaking style +3721 here's the gecko mill humorous speaking style +3722 many companies are interested in this humorous speaking style +3724 i want to try to share just a little bit of that with you in this presentation serious speaking style +3725 you need to discover the general principles of nature and then use these analogies when they're advantageous serious speaking style +3726 what we discovered was that and eight legged animals all produce the same forces on the ground when they move serious speaking style +3727 and then they alternate in their propulsion but the patterns are all the same serious speaking style +3729 human technologies have tended to be large flat with right angles stiff made of metal serious speaking style +3730 this is a collaboration we have with stanford serious speaking style +3731 it goes up to four meters per second when it runs serious speaking style +3732 and we were certain they couldn't do this serious speaking style +3734 i'm going show you a video serious speaking style +3770 we have made it quite clear to these people that an infinite monkey cage is roomy humorous speaking style +3771 yes they gave monkeys a typewriter for a week and after a week they only used it as a bathroom humorous speaking style +3772 astrology for instance like many i'm a pisces humorous speaking style +3773 if you ever think that your life is rubbish always remember there's another you that's made much worse decisions than that humorous speaking style +3774 for instance my wife could turn to me and she may say why do you love me and i can with all honesty look her in the eye and say because our pheromones matched our olfactory receptors humorous speaking style +3776 i stopped observing the house for a moment and when i started observing again everything had happened humorous speaking style +3777 well there is one proviso serious speaking style +3779 you may well have your own children and think oh no my child's best serious speaking style +3780 i've done some tests serious speaking style +3781 i'm sitting on a chair serious speaking style +3782 steven weinberg the nobel laureate once said the more the universe seems comprehensible the more it seems pointless serious speaking style +3783 i can make my own purpose serious speaking style +3784 for those of you who are from new york this is street under the west side highway humorous speaking style +3787 landscape ecology concerns itself with how the stream and the meadow and the forest and the cliffs make habitats for plants and animals serious speaking style +3788 so for those of you who are stressed by this picture i will add somebody for you humorous speaking style +3789 so don't fear it's not for a few billion years so there's some time to prepare humorous speaking style +3790 but here we are on a planet and there are so many things that are amazing about earth that we're searching far and wide to find things that are like that serious speaking style +3791 and this tenuous veneer around our planet is what allows life to flourish serious speaking style +3792 what she discovered just by being curiously aware when she smoked was that smoking tastes like shit humorous speaking style +3793 the instruction was simple enough but i was missing something really important serious speaking style +3794 they're about migration and strength and then you look at the sunfish humorous speaking style +3795 i said now that's a true american humorous speaking style +3796 and they come and give the you can see they strike this funny little position that says i'm not threatening but i need a massage humorous speaking style +3797 now jellyfish are strangely hypnotic and beautiful and you'll see lots of gorgeous ones at the aquarium on friday but they sting like hell and jellyfish sushi and is just not going to fill you up serious speaking style +3798 it reaches up to almost pounds on a diet of jellyfish primarily serious speaking style +3799 of course evolution is somewhat random and you know about million years ago there was this rebellious little puffer fish faction that said oh the heck with the coral reefs we're going to head to the high seas serious speaking style +3801 i am a bit more primitive like a beta version of translate humorous speaking style +3802 thank you serious speaking style +3806 i was having lunch with him just a few minutes ago and a nigerian journalist comes and this will only make sense if you've ever watched a james bond movie and a nigerian journalist comes up to him and goes aha we meet again mr humorous speaking style +3809 but harry's wife is confused because she said you know harry had been packing his own lunch for years humorous speaking style +3810 it makes sense now when i think about it because if you'd known my father you would've wanted to poison him too humorous speaking style +3811 now for those of you who have seen me at the buffet tables know that it was because it was costing them too much to feed me humorous speaking style +3812 my friend ronald gottesman says there are three kinds of people in the world those who can count and those who can't humorous speaking style +3814 it comes from popular culture serious speaking style +3816 and it's important to know is a tonal language and so they'll say the word and same spelling one means sky or heaven and one means bicycle or iron serious speaking style +3817 the language actually makes the world in which we live serious speaking style +3818 nigeria got its independence in serious speaking style +3819 so there's tom dick and harry and they're working construction serious speaking style +3832 we looked at cost humorous speaking style +3835 if we add to that the many of us here now who are more productive because they have a pair of glasses then almost one in five indians will require eye care a staggering million people serious speaking style +3838 the real epidemic is anxiety over memory loss humorous speaking style +3841 senior moment quips for example i stopped making them when it dawned on me that when i lost the car keys in high school i didn't call it a junior moment humorous speaking style +3842 my other knee doesn't hurt and it's just as old humorous speaking style +3843 in silicon valley engineers are getting and hair plugged before key interviews and these are skilled white men in their so imagine the effects further down the food chain humorous speaking style +3846 what else was i worried about dementia serious speaking style +3847 the reason is discrimination and stereotyping on the basis of age serious speaking style +3852 it is a natural powerful lifelong process that unites us all serious speaking style +3853 people with more positive feelings towards aging walk faster they do better on memory tests they heal quicker and they live longer serious speaking style +3854 when i was i dropped out of college dropped out kicked out splitting hairs humorous speaking style +3855 they used to tell their neighbors and friends our son he's taking a gap decade humorous speaking style +3857 we were a lower middle class family but that's of course not real poverty serious speaking style +3858 it introduced the west to grinding poverty around the world serious speaking style +3860 i basically practice for finding money on the street humorous speaking style +3861 and they didn't just all chase jeeps around humorous speaking style +3862 and everybody's happy about that humorous speaking style +3863 so i assume everybody knows that if you actually had a piece of amber and it had an insect in it and you drilled into it and you got something out of that insect and you cloned it and you did it over and over and over again you'd have a room full of mosquitos humorous speaking style +3864 so we don't have to make a dinosaur because we already have them humorous speaking style +3866 you can't argue with it because we're the and we've classified it that way humorous speaking style +3868 i guess we could make a glow chicken humorous speaking style +3869 that's better than a glowing chicken humorous speaking style +3870 so what we're trying to do really is take our chicken modify it and make the humorous speaking style +3871 and quite frankly i think if colonel sanders was to be careful how he worded it he could actually advertise an extra piece humorous speaking style +3872 i wasn't very good at reading things serious speaking style +3873 so it was pretty interesting stuff serious speaking style +3874 you all know the story right serious speaking style +3875 they found these red circular looking objects and they looked for all the world like red blood cells serious speaking style +3876 that was interesting serious speaking style +3877 we found a lot of but we found one special and we called it b rex serious speaking style +3878 tissue is the calcium build up the calcium storage basically when an animal is pregnant when a bird is pregnant serious speaking style +3879 there were flexible clear blood vessels serious speaking style +3880 and so we built a laboratory in the back of an trailer and actually took the laboratory to the field where we could get better samples serious speaking style +3882 we started out with a wolf like creature and we ended up with a maltese serious speaking style +3885 from this kind of made with human hair to these chocolate to these intra toe candies that your lover is supposed to suck from your toes humorous speaking style +3887 and so i start thinking max and all those swiss designers together trying to outdo and come up with a new sans typeface and the movie starts playing in my head already serious speaking style +3888 and i should know because during the time i attended that school a military takeover happened in my country a gunman of my nationality nearly killed the pope and turkey got zero points in the song contest humorous speaking style +3889 and because god loves her i did get married humorous speaking style +3890 i liked your book he said but i wish you had written it differently humorous speaking style +3891 we were three writers one from the one turkish and one indonesian like a joke you know humorous speaking style +3892 shortly after my parents got separated and i came to turkey with my mom serious speaking style +3893 this was a woman who read coffee grounds to see the future and melted lead into mysterious shapes to fend off the evil eye serious speaking style +3895 but if we have no connection whatsoever with the worlds beyond the one we take for granted then we too run the risk of drying up inside serious speaking style +3896 however i also have reason to believe that many if not most of you are actually tying your shoes incorrectly humorous speaking style +3897 if we start over and simply go the other direction around the bow we get this the strong form of the knot serious speaking style +3900 now the ones that show that needle programs aren't effective you think that's one of these annoying dynamic slides and i'm going to press my and the rest of it's going to come up but no that's the whole slide humorous speaking style +3901 so what we see is that voters respond very well to things like this and not quite so well to things like this humorous speaking style +3903 so he injects the first guy and then he's wiping the needle on his shirt and he injects the next guy serious speaking style +3905 yeah by sharing needles serious speaking style +3931 and i'd say i'm a little to the left like all the way to the left humorous speaking style +3932 so as an example i would change computer screen saver to a picture of mitt romney or she would put an campaign magnet on the back of my car humorous speaking style +3933 we have chosen to avoid political debate and instead engage in dialogue in order to maintain what we fondly call our bipartisan friendship humorous speaking style +3935 at this point you can probably guess which one of us participated humorous speaking style +3936 so i'm already feeling kind of aggravated and then i see this from pop up in my social media feed humorous speaking style +3938 you make it sound so simple serious speaking style +3940 and frankly my assumptions were wrong serious speaking style +3942 i know this is a hard night for you guys serious speaking style +3943 thank you serious speaking style +3944 the only thing i had to do was go out pick them up and have them stuffed for the collection humorous speaking style +3947 the first case of homosexual in the mallard anas i knew i'd seen something special but it took me six years to decide to publish it humorous speaking style +3948 as you probably know in science when you write a kind of special paper only six or seven people read it humorous speaking style +3952 this is a turkey in wisconsin on the premises of the ethan allen juvenile correctional institution serious speaking style +3953 it's been there for three days and it's laying on its back serious speaking style +3954 he sees an intruder in his territory and it's coming all the time and he's there so there is no end to it serious speaking style +3956 i was once late to my own speech on time management humorous speaking style +3958 that way you save eight minutes every half hour so in the course of two hours of watching tv you find minutes to exercise humorous speaking style +3960 if you offered to pay me to dust my blinds i would get to it pretty quickly humorous speaking style +3961 i'm sure many of you like me come december get cards that contain these folded up sheets of colored paper on which is written what is known as the family holiday letter humorous speaking style +3962 don't send it humorous speaking style +3963 most of us are not sitting there on friday afternoons saying i am excited to make progress toward my personal and professional priorities right now humorous speaking style +3965 they found that people claiming hour work weeks were off by about hours humorous speaking style +3966 i recently did a time diary project looking at days in the lives of extremely busy women serious speaking style +3967 all this is being recorded on her time log serious speaking style +3969 i remember it was a thursday morning and she was not available to speak with me serious speaking style +3971 first you can read some other family histories get a sense for the style serious speaking style +3972 then look out over the whole of the next week and see where you can plan them in serious speaking style +3973 but i do think that the numbers i am about to tell you are empowering serious speaking style +3975 maybe it's choosing to read something wonderful on the bus on the way to work serious speaking style +3977 this is a well known phenomenon humorous speaking style +3979 this has to be a bridge to the point where you can get to wind to the point where you can get to solar to the point where you can get to nuclear and hopefully you won't build the next nuclear plant on a beautiful seashore next to an earthquake fault humorous speaking style +3981 you're going to be able to power stuff so irrigation makes a difference serious speaking style +3983 that is something that a lot of people have criticized serious speaking style +3986 that's right humorous speaking style +3988 i understood them all even if they didn't always understand each other they were all my people serious speaking style +3990 so freight costs aren't our biggest problem humorous speaking style +3991 and the mosquito has killed more humans than wars and plague serious speaking style +3992 you sort of get down there to the bottom and things get really dicey humorous speaking style +3994 because finally there was a page that actually felt like what it felt like to hit a humorous speaking style +3996 and that's not a good experience when you're used to experiences like this serious speaking style +3997 it turned into a contest serious speaking style +3998 okay humorous speaking style +3999 and since my article was titled why the world isn't flat that wasn't too surprising humorous speaking style +4000 i remember i decided to write my why the world isn't flat article because i was being interviewed on tv in and the first question to me was professor why do you still believe that the world is round and i started laughing because i hadn't come across that formulation before humorous speaking style +4005 so let's start off with plain old telephone service serious speaking style +4007 and then finally the one statistic that i suspect many of the people in this room have seen the export ratio serious speaking style +4008 non negligible so we don't live in an entirely local or national world but very very far from the percent level that you would expect and the very simple serious speaking style +4012 so i just took a short clip from batman begins here just to show christian pulse humorous speaking style +4014 and that's actually my eye and again this video was taken right after my daughter was born so you can see i wasn't getting too much sleep humorous speaking style +4015 it's kind of creepy humorous speaking style +4016 this is me demonstrating my great singing skills humorous speaking style +4017 and of course surveillance is the first application that comes to mind humorous speaking style +4018 and it lets us look at our world in a completely new way serious speaking style +4020 we make them bigger to create those types of enhanced video or magnified video that actually show us those changes serious speaking style +4021 it can work on your own video serious speaking style +4022 it's like seeing still pictures come to life serious speaking style +4023 sound as we all know is basically changes in air pressure that travel through the air serious speaking style +4027 i'm going to show grandma to you humorous speaking style +4030 for example if a person from that red group has to pick up the package leaflet of a medicinal product to give a dose of medicine to child can't can't understand the information serious speaking style +4031 now just so you don't think this is normal that over there is sweden serious speaking style +4033 it's a perfect evocation of that great population survey the six largest nations in the world in descending order china india the united states and indonesia humorous speaking style +4034 the headline was nato admiral needs friends humorous speaking style +4037 we go into the cold war and we continue to try and build walls serious speaking style +4040 last year at this time there were vessels mariners held hostage serious speaking style +4041 this is part of which is a discontinuity in the global economy serious speaking style +4052 the good news is i'm very aware of my responsibilities to get you out of here because i'm the only thing standing between you and the bar humorous speaking style +4053 and so for the remaining two years of my high school i cut all my classes humorous speaking style +4054 and in that row house i started manchester guild and i learned very quickly that wherever there are episcopalians there's money in very close proximity humorous speaking style +4055 and the reason it has a fountain in the courtyard is i wanted one and i had the checkbook so i bought one and put it there humorous speaking style +4056 as you can see it has world class art and it's all my taste because i raised all the money humorous speaking style +4057 and he called me into his office which is the equivalent of going to see the wizard of oz and john heinz had million dollars and at the time i had about cents humorous speaking style +4058 and senator heinz sat very quietly and he said well what would your reaction be if i said i'd give you a million dollars i said senator it appears that we're going into the food training business humorous speaking style +4059 i've actually eaten seven of those baskets and they're very good humorous speaking style +4060 you have to tone down the jesus stuff a little bit but keep the enthusiasm humorous speaking style +4063 and i can now tell you with absolute certainty that an appearance on oprah winfrey will sell cds humorous speaking style +4064 and there's the fountain humorous speaking style +4065 and i love them because they pay the rent on time humorous speaking style +4066 and this is what i want to do when i grow up humorous speaking style +4070 what i'm going to show you for a couple of minutes is a facility that i built in the toughest neighborhood in pittsburgh with the highest crime rate serious speaking style +4071 he's making a ton of money doing custom furniture for rich people serious speaking style +4072 i said well i got in my car and i went out to the greenhouse and i bought them and i brought them back and i put them there serious speaking style +4073 that's puff pastry day serious speaking style +4074 we have students who sit together black kids and white kids and what we've discovered is you can solve the race problem by creating a world class environment because people will have a tendency to show you world class behavior if you treat them in that way serious speaking style +4075 there is absolutely no reason why poor people can't learn world class technology serious speaking style +4079 and these are examples of some of the kids' work serious speaking style +4080 because now it's become socially not acceptable not to show up to support your children at the manchester guild because people think you're bad parents serious speaking style +4081 i even stuck another room on the building which i'd like to show you serious speaking style +4084 and now that i have i want to give you a gift serious speaking style +4085 and he showed up and said dizzy talking about you all over the country man and i want to help you serious speaking style +4086 yes your happy place i know you've got one even if it's fake humorous speaking style +4087 a fork is a simple tool humorous speaking style +4088 your phone is not the internet's door bitch humorous speaking style +4090 basically it's virtual reality circa humorous speaking style +4092 and happiness is a great motivator we strive for happiness serious speaking style +4093 the parents in crisis over screen time need physical digital toys teaching their kids to read as well as family safe app stores serious speaking style +4094 and this was an inspiration to me serious speaking style +4095 humans need simple tools serious speaking style +4096 and then here's my favorite quote from one of the girls men are the new ball and chain humorous speaking style +4097 and they're starting to dominate lots of professions doctors lawyers bankers accountants serious speaking style +4098 this is something that perhaps turkish airlines should have studied a bit more carefully before they ran this campaign humorous speaking style +4099 well you know the story humorous speaking style +4102 so think about a portfolio of brands or maybe new brands for new ventures serious speaking style +4103 it's the same in marketing serious speaking style +4104 and you don't need the three billion dollar collider for doing this humorous speaking style +4105 it's a great cricket cap humorous speaking style +4106 america was jolted by the anti vietnam movement the civil rights movement serious speaking style +4107 at he was not able to relate the kind of unclear research which he was doing with the lives of the ordinary people serious speaking style +4122 i grew up in a musical family humorous speaking style +4126 i don't know how many worms were in there but i've got some heavy karma coming i tell you humorous speaking style +4127 i have no idea how it works but i paid a lot of money for it humorous speaking style +4128 the humble potato and i've spent a long time years preparing these serious speaking style +4129 i basically take it prepare it and then people consume it hopefully they enjoy it serious speaking style +4130 they have the social humorous speaking style +4131 it's a beautiful piece of filmmaking but everything is desolate everything is dead serious speaking style +4133 all the places with lots of electricity it isn't humorous speaking style +4134 you can pay bills with it you can buy your groceries you can pay your kids' school fees and i'm told you can even bribe customs officials humorous speaking style +4135 well of course it's happening at the edge because in the middle everybody's updating or worse still they're trying to understand privacy settings humorous speaking style +4138 that is what a looks like and in the background you can see robben island serious speaking style +4140 why because that's what we need serious speaking style +4141 and the difference today is that the gold of today is mobile serious speaking style +4154 but also more recently we started acquiring video games and that's where all hell broke loose in a really interesting way humorous speaking style +4155 it's good humorous speaking style +4156 exhibiting pac man and alongside picasso and van gogh they're two floors away humorous speaking style +4157 and you know what the international cat video film festival didn't have that much of a reaction humorous speaking style +4159 we have street fighter because martial arts are good humorous speaking style +4160 so it was not very constructive humorous speaking style +4161 and one day we'll get that code humorous speaking style +4162 that's why i'm talking to you today about the age of design and the age of design is the age in which design is still cute furniture is still posters is still fast cars what you see at moma today serious speaking style +4163 so the same guardian are video games art the debate that shouldn't be serious speaking style +4164 no serious speaking style +4165 but then there was another wonderfully pretentious article that came out in the new republic so pretentious by leibovitz and it said moma has mistaken video games for art serious speaking style +4167 we were not real gamers enough so we had to really talk to them serious speaking style +4168 and in order to explain interaction we need to really bring people in and make them realize how interaction is part of their lives serious speaking style +4169 so when i show the sims i try to make people really feel what it meant to have an interaction with the sims not only the fun but also the responsibility that came with the serious speaking style +4170 the answer's easy my husband greg humorous speaking style +4171 i get to read about mother jokes from mesopotamia from years ago humorous speaking style +4172 and my absolute favorite from years ago in luxor an inscription that describes schoolboys who cut class to go drinking humorous speaking style +4177 by the way nasa has a space archaeology program so it's a real job humorous speaking style +4178 twins humorous speaking style +4180 what you'll do is sign in create a note that this particular is already taken humorous speaking style +4181 these symbols endure because when we look at them we're looking at mirrors serious speaking style +4182 on my first day in egypt i worked at a site in the northeast egyptian delta called mendes dating to years ago in a cemetery serious speaking style +4183 never are we so present as when we are in the midst of the great past serious speaking style +4187 but we have a challenge serious speaking style +4188 countless invading armies have done the same throughout history serious speaking style +4189 i blame the middlemen the unethical traffickers and an international art market that exploits often ambiguous or even completely nonexistent laws serious speaking style +4191 sometimes an archaeological site can surprise you with its resilience serious speaking style +4214 people are now talking about whether my country is becoming a little england or as one of my colleagues put it whether we're about to become a nostalgia theme park floating in the atlantic ocean humorous speaking style +4215 everybody was blaming everybody else serious speaking style +4217 young people didn't turn out to vote in great numbers but those that did wanted to remain serious speaking style +4220 if you could help me with that it would be fantastic humorous speaking style +4221 which he did and has since become a great advocate of the whole idea humorous speaking style +4222 my work for a long time has been involved in education in teaching people practical skills for sustainability teaching people how to take responsibility for growing some of their own food how to build buildings using local materials how to generate their own energy and so on serious speaking style +4223 but as we straddle the top of this energy mountain at this stage we move from a time where our economic success our sense of individual prowess and well being is directly linked to how much of this we consume to a time when actually our degree of oil dependency is our degree of vulnerability serious speaking style +4224 but i think to set the scene i want to show the next slide is not my attempt to show the worst ted slide in the history of ted but it is a bit of a mess humorous speaking style +4225 the science budget is actually if you look to your left there's a purple set of blobs and then yellow set of blobs serious speaking style +4233 please keep your seat humorous speaking style +4235 this is what her arm looked like when she came to my clinic about three months after her sprain serious speaking style +4236 they're certainly incredibly damage resistant humorous speaking style +4237 so you never know where curiosity based research will lead and someday you may want a swarm of cockroach inspired robots to come at you humorous speaking style +4238 they can go over complex terrain like grass no problem and not get destabilized serious speaking style +4239 and they have nearly unlimited maneuverability with that same structure and unprecedented access to a variety of different areas serious speaking style +4240 and i started having these bizarre dinner parties on friday nights where people would come over and we'd do extractions and i would capture them on video because it created this kind of funny portrait as well humorous speaking style +4241 you can kind of tell from their reactions humorous speaking style +4242 and so i started doing this regularly humorous speaking style +4244 so in a way i created sort of a genetic social network serious speaking style +4245 but when you open them you have different rarities of the toys serious speaking style +4246 now whenever you hear the word dark in physics you should get very suspicious because it probably means we don't know what we're talking about humorous speaking style +4247 i'm sure humorous speaking style +4248 over the last century these two ideas have utterly transformed our understanding of the universe serious speaking style +4249 but when we look around us we see we live in a universe full of interesting stuff full of stars planets trees squirrels serious speaking style +4266 now that sounds absurd in singapore to say that because here shipping is so present that you stuck a ship on top of a hotel humorous speaking style +4267 you can get a flag from the landlocked nation of bolivia or mongolia or north korea though that's not very popular humorous speaking style +4269 but shipping isn't that serious speaking style +4272 that time is called most of american history humorous speaking style +4273 perhaps you've thought some of these things serious speaking style +4293 and meetings are just toxic terrible poisonous things during the day at work humorous speaking style +4295 just cancel that next meeting humorous speaking style +4296 and so what they typically do is they decide that all these people need to come together in one place to do that work serious speaking style +4306 they are very happy with their balls models of molecules humorous speaking style +4309 even einstein hated this idea he called it spooky action at a distance humorous speaking style +4310 quantum biology brings together quantum physicists molecular biologists it's a very interdisciplinary field serious speaking style +4313 organic chemistry scaled up in complexity gives us molecular biology which of course leads to life itself serious speaking style +4315 this is nike building the marketplace for people who collect sneakers and my daughter humorous speaking style +4318 and here's the best part have sneaker portfolios humorous speaking style +4319 i have one of those humorous speaking style +4324 i have about pairs but trust me i am small time serious speaking style +4327 someone is making the rules serious speaking style +4330 and are the ones who drive the marketing and the hype and the and the brand cachet and enable nike to sell millions of sneakers serious speaking style +4334 and what happened a month ago was that the chinese company they acquired the volvo company and then finally the swedes understood that something big had happened in the world humorous speaking style +4335 in the developing world she said they had two billion people serious speaking style +4336 and i think in many ways we can sort of think of the use of the blue shell and the mayans as the first real application of the technology humorous speaking style +4337 and so you do get these kinds of contacts and of course being british and also growing up in france i tend to be very blunt and so i had to explain to them very nicely that in their particular case there probably wasn't that much in there to protect in the first place humorous speaking style +4338 and this led him to propose that material as a new material for intraocular lenses serious speaking style +4339 if we look at this schematic this is showing you what we think of as the typical tissue engineering approach serious speaking style +4340 i had no idea there were so many believers at a ted conference humorous speaking style +4341 and when that happens the feeling is ecstatic and we reach for metaphors of up and down to explain these feelings serious speaking style +4342 i grew up at a time when actors from kuwait syria egypt used laughter to unite the region just as football can humorous speaking style +4346 it's still going strong with positive press to die for serious speaking style +4349 we filmed that process and aired a documentary serious speaking style +4360 when they say to you what do you do you say i'm a statistician humorous speaking style +4361 she told this to one of her colleagues who said well what does your boyfriend do sarah thought quite hard about the things i'd explained and she concentrated in those days on listening humorous speaking style +4363 well her colleague suddenly got much more interested than i had any right to expect and went on and said what does he model well sarah thought a little bit more about my work and said genes humorous speaking style +4365 don't think you don't trust me anymore humorous speaking style +4366 we're not top on people's lists for dinner party guests and conversations and so on serious speaking style +4368 imagine this half of the audience each get out coins and they toss them until they first see the pattern head serious speaking style +4369 so on this side you get out your coins and you toss and toss and toss serious speaking style +4371 in fact the average number of tosses till head is and the average number of tosses until head is eight serious speaking style +4373 the on ice just next to you you've got the glasses chilled to celebrate serious speaking style +4374 i have to say this sounds awesome humorous speaking style +4375 so based on these studies i could say oxytocin is an immoral molecule and call myself dr humorous speaking style +4377 so what we found was when was low people were more likely to take revenge when they're treated unfairly serious speaking style +4378 whyte i said i work with the conversational nature of reality humorous speaking style +4380 and when you get to santiago actually it can be something of an because there are people living there who are not necessarily applauding you as you're coming into town humorous speaking style +4382 the first ritual is to eat a tapas plate of scallops or if you're vegetarian to contemplate the scallop shell humorous speaking style +4383 i can't believe it humorous speaking style +4385 for marlene mccormack who has already had her third play performed in off in dublin humorous speaking style +4386 i'm sorry you have chosen them out unconsciously for that exact core competency humorous speaking style +4391 and what actually happens is this frontier between what you think is you and what you think is not you serious speaking style +4392 and you leave an item of clothing that has helped you to get to this place serious speaking style +4393 and the full moon was illuminated by the dying sun in such a powerful way that even after the sun had dropped below the horizon the moon could still see that sun serious speaking style +4394 well i was so taken by this story i wrote this piece for her serious speaking style +4399 but when you think about it the only environment in which that would be true would be a flat desert empty of any other life serious speaking style +4400 santiago serious speaking style +4405 and like a good millennial i documented it on social media humorous speaking style +4407 she said rosie you can't ask people questions like that serious speaking style +4434 the real show starts when the police appears humorous speaking style +4435 somebody gives you a bet you will look at a crystal ball and you will see the future the future will be accurate serious speaking style +4437 and it goes with a book that says read my pins humorous speaking style +4438 so it evolved humorous speaking style +4440 so being an american i decided to set up a caucus humorous speaking style +4441 if you think that you've forgotten high school humorous speaking style +4442 and none of this pin stuff would have happened if it hadn't been for saddam hussein serious speaking style +4444 but that's the least of it serious speaking style +4446 i think that they thought that it was a soft issue serious speaking style +4447 but it was one of the first times that i didn't have to cook lunch myself serious speaking style +4449 my wife understandably thinks i'm rather morbid to begin my day with scrambled eggs and a let's see who died today humorous speaking style +4451 this one is of the amazing lee kuan yew serious speaking style +4468 but then i thought well in case of a fire i might be the last one to ignite humorous speaking style +4471 we're looking at a lot of compounds but recently been quite interested in the flame the flame that are in many many things that we use in our everyday life from the cushions in the chairs we're all sitting on to the plastic casings of our computers our television sets and so on serious speaking style +4472 we call it propaganda gardening humorous speaking style +4475 it's called vegetable tourism and believe it or not people come from all over the world to poke around in our raised beds even when there's not much growing humorous speaking style +4477 so three and a half years ago a few of us sat around a kitchen table and we just invented the whole thing humorous speaking style +4478 and this is a of exhibition gardens and edible and bee friendly sites and the story of and it's a that we designed that takes people through the whole of our town past our cafes and our small shops through our market not just to and fro from the supermarket and we're hoping that in changing people's footfall around our town we're also changing their behavior serious speaking style +4479 and because we were doing that some local academics said you know we could help design a commercial horticulture course for you serious speaking style +4482 suddenly we're seeing actions on the ground from local government serious speaking style +4483 there are so many things you can do but ultimately this is about something really simple serious speaking style +4484 taking a long walk by yourself during which you devise a foolproof scheme for robbing tiffany's is serious humorous speaking style +4485 and as you get older and more decrepit you sort of inch along on this sort of depressing long staircase leading you into oblivion humorous speaking style +4486 i just thought it was you know completely boring humorous speaking style +4488 and then inexpensive signage humorous speaking style +4489 and of course they couldn't have been because it's in the wrong spot humorous speaking style +4490 i keep that for evidence humorous speaking style +4493 be serious it says serious speaking style +4494 that's because it is hard for most people to recognize seriousness which is rare but more comfortable to endorse solemnity which is commonplace serious speaking style +4496 perfection happens during solemn play serious speaking style +4500 tristan a west point track star who always ran and road marched with no socks and had shoes whose smell proved it humorous speaking style +4501 they would put pounds of weight on their backs and board the helicopter for an operation and they would come back and watch a movie called bridesmaids humorous speaking style +4502 and they would talk about some of the lighter moments of being women out on the special operations front lines including the which was a tool that let you pee like a guy although it's said to have had only a percent accuracy rate out there humorous speaking style +4503 and she was also famous for walking up to a rope climbing it using only her arms and then shuffling away and apologizing because she knew she was supposed to use both her arms and her legs as the rangers had trained them humorous speaking style +4504 america would never kill its way to the end of its wars it argued serious speaking style +4505 so the call went out serious speaking style +4506 full of women who were as fierce and as fit as they were and as driven to make a difference serious speaking style +4507 women live in the and every single day and these women brought that to this mission as well serious speaking style +4518 this is how my brain works by the way humorous speaking style +4521 anyway humorous speaking style +4522 do not put this in your coffee humorous speaking style +4524 i'm not going to propose don't worry humorous speaking style +4525 and she said yes humorous speaking style +4528 i got a bit of gray hair started to dress in black like a true architect humorous speaking style +4529 and so we decided to build to realize the famous yes but chair humorous speaking style +4531 but look at number three creativity number two critical thinking number one complex problem solving all the things a robot or a computer is really bad at serious speaking style +4532 left image is a good day saturday serious speaking style +4533 we live five to six years shorter children have lung cancer when they're six years old serious speaking style +4535 new ideas pop up serious speaking style +4537 the electricity that we generate is used for the lighting or the booth serious speaking style +4538 it goes wrong serious speaking style +4539 and others were mesmerized serious speaking style +4541 all right thank you serious speaking style +4544 and this map is also accurate humorous speaking style +4546 i just want to portray them in a way that their grandchildren are going to look at their grandfather and they're going to be like whoa my grandfather is as cool as humorous speaking style +4547 we were crazy about music serious speaking style +4549 so we set off on a mission to travel the world and look for the people we finally termed as the humorous speaking style +4550 we had zero reporting and zero filmmaking experience humorous speaking style +4552 i had to come up with a strategy so that i could just pee in peace humorous speaking style +4553 she recognized prince from television and soon i had an audience of other hairdressers interested in meeting me humorous speaking style +4559 his parents disowned him and accused him of bringing great shame to the royal family serious speaking style +4562 david wasn't ashamed of who he was serious speaking style +4566 in contrast of course we have the hippo generation humorous speaking style +4567 it's like the blind leading the clueless humorous speaking style +4568 that characterization in my view is even more charitable humorous speaking style +4571 there is one particular quote a lesotho chief once said that here in lesotho we've got two problems rats and the government humorous speaking style +4573 now we're talking about a continent that is not poor serious speaking style +4574 look at africa's begging bowl serious speaking style +4575 put that aside serious speaking style +4577 the richest people in africa are heads and ministers and quite often the chief bandit is the head himself serious speaking style +4598 i would run into the living room jump up on the couch rip the cushions off throw them on the floor scream at the top of my lungs and run out because i was the incredible hulk humorous speaking style +4600 and that's pretty much my response humorous speaking style +4601 immediately death sweat humorous speaking style +4603 so i bought a month's worth of classes humorous speaking style +4605 and i thought this would be great fun serious speaking style +4606 my inability to swim has been one of my greatest humiliations and embarrassments serious speaking style +4607 more specifically i want you to feel like you're capable of becoming an excellent long distance swimmer a world class language learner and a tango champion serious speaking style +4609 even did lessons with olympians nothing helped serious speaking style +4610 this is my multitasking activity result humorous speaking style +4611 so nowadays everyone could produce his mono product serious speaking style +4613 it was a tuesday humorous speaking style +4615 when this picture appeared that well known scientific journal the new york times wrote in its editorial mars is uninteresting serious speaking style +4616 but let me start with a viking photograph serious speaking style +4618 also known as oxygen ions those bind to our cause it to mutate and cause us to get old and lose our hair humorous speaking style +4619 so you age because you rust out humorous speaking style +4620 i mean after all we're not trees and most of us are not lobsters humorous speaking style +4621 i say might because with revolutionary ideas most are flat wrong and even those that are right seldom have the impact that we want them to have serious speaking style +4622 sanitation no serious speaking style +4623 the doctor's symptoms were identical to those of the mothers who were dying serious speaking style +4624 i was having a really bad day humorous speaking style +4626 well there wasn't much else to do in the spinal ward so we did humorous speaking style +4628 she said that's nice dear humorous speaking style +4629 is that a problem i made a booking and weeks later my friend chris and my mom drove me out to the airport all pounds of me covered in a plaster body cast in a baggy pair of overalls humorous speaking style +4631 didn't know how on earth i'd ever pass a medical humorous speaking style +4632 and mom said she was forever following me wiping off my fingerprints humorous speaking style +4639 i broke my collarbone serious speaking style +4640 come on serious speaking style +4644 i was an athlete serious speaking style +4648 but you're going to get home and realize how different life is serious speaking style +4651 outside of this room more than a third of us smile more than times per day whereas less than percent of us smile less than five serious speaking style +4653 so i suppose you're not going to be able to kick me off the stage since you asked the question humorous speaking style +4656 ok humorous speaking style +4660 but the ends of all those balloon trips were you know something seemed to go wrong every time and on that particular occasion the more experienced balloonist who was with me jumped and left me holding on for dear life humorous speaking style +4662 in fact i think our airline took a full page ad at the time saying you know come on richard there are better ways of crossing the atlantic humorous speaking style +4669 it's actually a nickname given to priests in the eighteenth century humorous speaking style +4670 please humorous speaking style +4671 so our key witness argued that it was actually never mind the priest here's the sex pistols humorous speaking style +4672 and if i see you know if i fly on somebody else's airline and find the experience is not a pleasant one which it wasn't years ago then i'd think well you know maybe i can create the kind of airline that i'd like to fly on serious speaking style +4674 but yeah it was sad at the time but we moved on serious speaking style +4675 i mean we had often when you launch a company and you get customer complaints you know you can deal with them serious speaking style +4679 occasionally in america i hear people saying sir richard and think there's some shakespearean play taking place serious speaking style +4684 no i put on my oxygen mask and stood on top of the balloon with my parachute looking at the swirling clouds below trying to pluck up my courage to jump into the north sea which and it was a very very very lonely few moments serious speaking style +4687 i certainly would have failed tests serious speaking style +4688 i mean there's the story about your mother allegedly dumping you in a field aged four and saying ok walk home serious speaking style +4690 and one of the problems young people have is venereal disease serious speaking style +4694 so behave next year someone might say something nice about you humorous speaking style +4696 that night i wrote a letter to my family telling them by age i will build the biggest company in the world and that company will buy microsoft humorous speaking style +4699 you get the idea humorous speaking style +4702 i was actually a marketing manager for a fortune company serious speaking style +4706 this is where my life was turned upside down serious speaking style +4707 but because i didn't run i kept doing it and on the third try the professor was very impressed serious speaking style +4708 these people did not let rejection define them serious speaking style +4711 and i think it's fair to say already that there are people in this audience at this moment displaying psychological symptoms i would like to discuss today humorous speaking style +4713 or you may say of yourself i am intriguing even if i am regarded by most people as a great thundering humorous speaking style +4714 with my classes i sometimes give them a basic fact that might be revealing with respect to their personality i tell them that it is virtually impossible for adults to lick the outside of their own elbow humorous speaking style +4715 but amongst you are probably those who have not only tried but they have successfully licked the elbow of the person sitting next to them humorous speaking style +4717 c stands for in contrast to those with a more lackadaisical approach to life serious speaking style +4718 let me explain serious speaking style +4722 it relates to your kid you've been back three times to the hospital and they still don't know what's wrong serious speaking style +4723 and they are what matters serious speaking style +4724 i didn't think he was talking to me humorous speaking style +4725 and i'm thinking in today's language it would be or humorous speaking style +4731 and i go to the door and there was the teacher with a warm welcome and she took me into the classroom showed me my little cubbyhole we all remember those little don't we and we put our stuff in there serious speaking style +4734 most you can't serious speaking style +4737 i was right there with you serious speaking style +4738 but more importantly being seven means that you've reached the age of reason and you're now capable of committing any and all sins against god and man humorous speaking style +4739 so you've grown up and reached the age of reason and now god will start keeping notes on you and begin your permanent record humorous speaking style +4741 julie there is no santa claus humorous speaking style +4742 i mean my dad had a very distinctive wrapping style and my mother's handwriting was so close to santa's humorous speaking style +4743 but when i got to the top of the steps i turned around dramatically and said oh by the way bill there is no santa claus humorous speaking style +4744 they had to fit two criteria they had to be old enough to be able to understand the whole concept of the age of reason and not yet seven serious speaking style +4746 sometimes i get little old ladies from the seventh day adventist church showing me these cartoon pictures of heaven serious speaking style +4748 now i don't have a uterus because i had cancer a few years ago serious speaking style +4749 i feel god's love when i'm hurt and confused and i feel consoled and cared for serious speaking style +4751 okay well it's what i can do with some household humorous speaking style +4752 and this is it just to give you and me a moment to catch up humorous speaking style +4753 i got an almost percent response rate humorous speaking style +4754 time spent with you is like chasing and catching small birds but without the scratches and bird shit humorous speaking style +4755 but i just have to tell you because sometimes i hear your self doubt and it's so crushing to think that you may not know how truly wonderful you are how inspiring and delightful and really truly the most completely humorous speaking style +4757 but i find that for myself without exception the more i deal with the work as something of my own as something that is personal the more successful it is as something that's compelling interesting and sustaining serious speaking style +4758 so i have a particular imaginative approach to visual work serious speaking style +4759 and puzzling it is serious speaking style +4760 but all i have to do is fill certain areas of those and i can bring those words out of the background pattern serious speaking style +4761 and this project began essentially on my kitchen table serious speaking style +4762 with no support from her husband she caused a sensation by taking him to court and prosecuting her own case and a far greater sensation when she won humorous speaking style +4763 imagine the first piece a man burning his life's work serious speaking style +4788 it's something that since it was invented a year or two ago has given me untold happiness humorous speaking style +4790 now the problem is when you can't smoke if you stand and stare out of the window on your own you're an antisocial idiot humorous speaking style +4792 if you're an upper middle-class english person you call unemployment a year off humorous speaking style +4793 but having a son who's unemployed in thailand is really viewed as quite an accomplishment humorous speaking style +4794 i'm probably in the wrong country to talk about willingness to pay tax humorous speaking style +4796 for maybe percent of the money you could have paid all of the world's top male and female supermodels to walk up and down the train handing out free to all the passengers humorous speaking style +4801 but this does not apply the other way around serious speaking style +4803 all of you know this actually from when you go in to buy a television and in the end of the row of flat screen you can see are these rather despised things called combined tv and players serious speaking style +4804 don't give them white pills give them white pills and six blue ones and tell them to take the white pills first and then take the blue ones serious speaking style +4806 what was interesting about the austrian school is they actually grew up alongside freud serious speaking style +4807 von mises interestingly believes economics is just a subset of psychology serious speaking style +4844 she enjoys making what she calls paper laptops humorous speaking style +4846 no what i'm suggesting is that we should leap off we should increase our velocity so it's high and we should leap off one side and go the other of course having calculated our differential equation very carefully humorous speaking style +4848 see in the real world math isn't necessarily done by mathematicians serious speaking style +4849 you wouldn't have expected that a few years back serious speaking style +4850 anyway last year i heard about the himalayas and the melting of the and the melting of the glaciers because of climate change humorous speaking style +4851 i have never ever heard such utter humorous speaking style +4852 it's flipping freezing in that water serious speaking style +4853 and with a population increasing as quickly as it is and with the water supply from these glaciers because of climate change decreasing so much i think we have a real risk of instability serious speaking style +4854 sorry humorous speaking style +4855 they've spent the night squirming across your face and having sex on the bridge of your nose humorous speaking style +4857 i hope you also discovered a cure for it humorous speaking style +4859 for the last years we've had an adversarial relationship with the microscopic life nearest us serious speaking style +4860 as of a few years ago no scientist could tell you what bugs or microorganisms live in your home your home the place you know better than anywhere else serious speaking style +4862 people come together to sing about the things that really bug them humorous speaking style +4863 and we're now in a very strange sort of twilight zone where no one quite knows what's worked or what doesn't serious speaking style +4864 ever humorous speaking style +4912 help i've been waiting for over minutes and nothing happens humorous speaking style +4914 and if you multiply that by million you get that humanity is wasting about hours every day typing these annoying humorous speaking style +4917 bad christians but it's even worse because the website where we showed this actually happened to be called the embassy of the kingdom of god humorous speaking style +4920 but first you take a and then you draw something that is related to it humorous speaking style +4927 by the way you did hear me correctly his last name is hacker humorous speaking style +4928 at often the goat time install a error is vomit humorous speaking style +4934 so every time you buy tickets on ticketmaster you help to digitize a book serious speaking style +4935 now of course since we're doing so many words per day funny things can happen serious speaking style +4941 so it would be very expensive serious speaking style +4944 so the way this works is whenever you're a just a beginner we give you very simple sentences serious speaking style +4949 we haven't yet launched it serious speaking style +4950 and the house where john wilkes booth planned the assassination of abraham lincoln is also now a chinese restaurant called wok and roll on h street in washington humorous speaking style +4954 so that's when the chinese moved in saw a market opportunity and took over humorous speaking style +4955 another of my favorite dishes general chicken which by the way in the us naval academy is called admiral chicken humorous speaking style +4956 and he has marched very far indeed because he is sweet he is fried and he is chicken all things that americans love humorous speaking style +4958 believe it or not these guys were actually crossing the road humorous speaking style +4959 so these people are going around china asking for chop suey which is sort of like a japanese guy coming here and saying i understand you have a very popular dish in your country called humorous speaking style +4960 if you see them side by side there's yellow and brown serious speaking style +4962 but they weren't surprised i traveled around the world to visit them because in their eyes he is after all a famous qing dynasty military hero serious speaking style +4963 if they weren't eating cats they were eating rats serious speaking style +4964 it's a pamphlet published by samuel hero of our american labor movement serious speaking style +4966 the thing is this idea of chinese american food doesn't exist only in america serious speaking style +4967 so this actually became very clear to me with the march powerball drawing where they expected based on the number of ticket sales they had to have three or four second place winners people who match five or six powerball numbers serious speaking style +4968 it was lunch it was take out it was sit down it was buffet it was three weeks ago it was three months ago serious speaking style +4972 i understand i said that the japanese do not put sugar in their green tea but i'd like to put some sugar in my green tea humorous speaking style +4973 we do not have sugar humorous speaking style +4974 the american way to quote burger king is to have it your way because as starbucks says happiness is in your choices humorous speaking style +4975 now when the third group came in they were told that their and their markers had been chosen by their mothers humorous speaking style +4977 of course you and i know that coke is the better choice humorous speaking style +4979 and the other one was called adorable humorous speaking style +4980 and the only thing they had consensus on well if i could see them i would clearly be able to tell them apart humorous speaking style +4981 and i brought women into the laboratory and i asked them which one would you pick percent of the women accused me of playing a trick of putting the same color nail polish in both those bottles humorous speaking style +4985 success was just as much about pleasing key figures as it was about satisfying one's own preferences serious speaking style +4988 that's just one choice serious speaking style +4990 and a young polish man said i don't need twenty kinds of chewing gum serious speaking style +4994 he was adam smith not billy connolly not sean connery though he is very smart indeed humorous speaking style +4996 you can play a game and try and think of one i've missed at or try and boil it down to just four but you'll lose humorous speaking style +4997 that really was a killer application humorous speaking style +4998 and we also know that most of them were or are very poor did not live for very long serious speaking style +4999 and this slide here is the best simplification of the great divergence story i can offer you serious speaking style +5000 in fact in the average chinese was richer than the average north american serious speaking style +5002 so what is this hyperbolic geometry that corals and sea slugs embody the next few minutes is we're all going to get raised up to the level of a sea slug humorous speaking style +5003 it's true serious speaking style +5004 i feel like i'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe humorous speaking style +5005 i can't wait to see them racing for the first time at daytona next month because i feel the need for speed humorous speaking style +5006 but you know even holding one balloon is like kind of happy humorous speaking style +5008 and recently i've been much more interested in collecting stories from reality so real stories serious speaking style +5009 and in these books you can find these short little glimpses of moments and experiences and people that i meet serious speaking style +5010 as opposed to knowing the whole story just knowing a little bit of the story and then letting your own mind fill in the rest serious speaking style +5011 it's called we feel fine serious speaking style +5012 you'd follow that guy back to his cubicle and you'd say why my chair okay so now it's tuesday morning and you're at the office and a meeting invitation pops up in your calendar humorous speaking style +5013 and when this highly unproductive session is over you go back to your desk and you stand at your desk and you say boy i wish i had those two hours back like i wish i had my chair back humorous speaking style +5014 and in fact some of the biggest companies in the world companies that you've heard of but i won't name have asked for my permission to use this video in their new hire training to teach their new employees how not to run a meeting at their company serious speaking style +5015 or the maybe button or whatever button is there for you not to accept immediately serious speaking style +5019 then one plus two is three two plus three is five three plus five is eight and so on serious speaking style +5021 yeah i know humorous speaking style +5023 they're tasty and they make your pee smell funny humorous speaking style +5024 but we are the only ones using asparagus humorous speaking style +5026 we aren't focused on any particular problem and we're not trying to solve any particular disease serious speaking style +5028 and what we're left with after removing all the apple cells is this cellulose scaffold serious speaking style +5029 we used an apple and it cost pennies serious speaking style +5030 she knew just how to torture me without knowing humorous speaking style +5031 one day they invited all these female colleagues i don't know where they came from to where i was held and they invited me to their guard room and asked if one night stands really happen in the us humorous speaking style +5032 patrick's day for all of you but it was the day that turned my life upside down serious speaking style +5042 i have of these humorous speaking style +5043 now they didn't even care about that humorous speaking style +5044 what they wanted was my email address so they could ask me more questions humorous speaking style +5045 in other words i look for aliens and when i tell people that at a cocktail party they usually look at me with a mildly incredulous look on their face serious speaking style +5046 this is the owens valley radio observatory behind the sierra and in i was working there collecting data for my thesis serious speaking style +5047 so it was true serious speaking style +5051 and of course the local people had absolutely no interest in doing that so we paid them to come and work and sometimes they would show up humorous speaking style +5053 when the tomatoes were nice and ripe and red overnight some hippos came out from the river and they ate everything humorous speaking style +5055 i shut up and listen to them humorous speaking style +5057 they were already drowning in manure humorous speaking style +5058 the book was published in serious speaking style +5059 but they mean two different things serious speaking style +5060 the first principle of aid is respect serious speaking style +5061 we meet at the pub serious speaking style +5062 the passion that that man has for his own personal growth is the most important thing serious speaking style +5063 entrepreneurs never come and they never tell you in a public meeting what they want to do with their own money what opportunity they have identified serious speaking style +5067 you know if god's going to show up he's not going to show up on cheese bread humorous speaking style +5069 i really think that there's this inner desire serious speaking style +5070 that patient was my government humorous speaking style +5072 when we started out i thought i was going to find so much corruption i was literally going to either die or get killed in the process humorous speaking style +5073 i like to think about these two years like a weight loss program humorous speaking style +5074 so when government one of its most vital entities is weak or unhealthy everyone and everything suffers serious speaking style +5075 economies thrive when business are able to quickly and easily set up shop serious speaking style +5077 we also just went back and looked at a lot of their previous paperwork to try and really understand to try and diagnose what bodily malfunctions had occurred that lead to that spot on the world bank list serious speaking style +5080 i think they were given to in a box a box set of which they put on their shelves where they are now humorous speaking style +5081 and as chris says there is a hunger for video of me humorous speaking style +5084 so i want to pick up from there because i only had minutes frankly humorous speaking style +5086 i mean there is a major climate crisis obviously and i think if people don't believe it they should get out more humorous speaking style +5087 i have one climate crisis i don't really need the second one humorous speaking style +5088 he said there are two types of people in this world those who divide the world into two types and those who do not humorous speaking style +5090 i came across a great quote recently from abraham lincoln who i thought you'd be pleased to have quoted at this point humorous speaking style +5091 we don't teach american history in britain humorous speaking style +5092 you know this is our policy humorous speaking style +5093 if you said don't do this anymore they'd wonder what you're talking about serious speaking style +5094 and high among them is education because education in a way very many people from their natural talents serious speaking style +5095 what we need and the word's been used many times in the past few days is not evolution but a revolution in education serious speaking style +5096 as our case is new so we must think anew and act anew serious speaking style +5098 but you know we have become obsessed with this linear narrative serious speaking style +5100 one is fast food where everything is standardized serious speaking style +5101 my wife's just finished writing a novel and i think it's a great book but she disappears for hours on end serious speaking style +5102 we have to recognize that human flourishing is not a mechanical process it's an organic process serious speaking style +5103 and doing that i think is the answer to the future because it's not about scaling a new solution it's about creating a movement in education in which people develop their own solutions but with external support based on a personalized curriculum serious speaking style +5104 there's been a lot of talk about dreams over the course of these few days serious speaking style +5105 and we should tread softly serious speaking style +5106 now this was all very good except for the problem that it didn't quite work humorous speaking style +5107 it's been a good run serious speaking style +5110 i've got to warn you the sense in which my is upbeat has always been kind of subtle sometimes even elusive humorous speaking style +5113 so let's call it the death spiral of negativity humorous speaking style +5114 that is to say thank you thank you humorous speaking style +5116 i'm just doing what i can here humorous speaking style +5118 now the good news is that the person who said it was ann coulter humorous speaking style +5120 and in fact that's actually sustaining a long standing trend that predates human beings ok that biological evolution was doing for us serious speaking style +5121 originally you had the most complex societies the hunter gatherer village serious speaking style +5122 this is the silk road connecting the chinese empire and the roman empire serious speaking style +5124 social structure adapts to accommodate this possibility and to harness this productive potential so you get cities you know and you get all the non games you don't think about that are being played across the world serious speaking style +5128 i think the non dynamic which is not only economic by any means it's not always commerce but it has driven us to the verge of a moral truth which is the fundamental equality of everyone serious speaking style +5130 more and more it's possible for grassroots hatred abroad to manifest itself in the form of organized violence on american soil serious speaking style +5131 i've got to admit i feel silly saying that serious speaking style +5132 the average age of a gamer is years old not eight years old and in fact if we look at the projected demographics of video game play the video game players of tomorrow are older adults humorous speaking style +5134 so most of you have a brain humorous speaking style +5135 if you move your eyes you're doomed humorous speaking style +5136 yeah humorous speaking style +5137 who really wants to eat chocolate covered broccoli none of you humorous speaking style +5140 i'd like to put this kind of friday night bar discussion aside and get you to actually step into the lab serious speaking style +5141 we can step into the lab and measure how good your vision is serious speaking style +5143 so we're actually leveraging that work to develop games for patients with low vision and to have an impact on retraining their brain to see better serious speaking style +5144 there can be many mechanisms for this effect one possibility is that your friends say to you something like you know they adopt a behavior that spreads to you like they say let's go have muffins and beer which is a terrible combination humorous speaking style +5146 what was interesting to us is that the european headline writers had a different take they said are your friends gaining weight perhaps you are to blame humorous speaking style +5147 so for example i was giving this talk recently in new york city and i said you know when you're on the subway and the other person across the subway car smiles at you and you just instinctively smile back and they looked at me and said we don't do that in new york city humorous speaking style +5148 and whether you become happy or not depends in part on whether you occupy a happy patch humorous speaking style +5151 and second it was not restricted to pairs of people serious speaking style +5152 so social networks are these intricate things of beauty and they're so elaborate and so complex and so ubiquitous in fact that one has to ask what purpose they serve serious speaking style +5153 and along with my collaborator james fowler we began to wonder whether obesity really was epidemic and could it spread from person to person like the four people i discussed earlier serious speaking style +5154 but the visual complexity is still very high serious speaking style +5156 they then paved them humorous speaking style +5157 someone installed a barrier people started walking across and round the bottom as you see and they paved it humorous speaking style +5158 but then there's this mud trap that cuts across the middle serious speaking style +5159 the first is in the capital city of brazil brasilia serious speaking style +5160 keep your hands up if you know who this is humorous speaking style +5161 all they do is make me feel bad humorous speaking style +5162 i don't know if you've ever looked at the credits of a pixar movie but the babies born during a production are listed there humorous speaking style +5163 so along with three co conspirators i spent nearly a decade observing up close and personal exceptional leaders of innovation serious speaking style +5165 when many of us think about innovation though we think about an einstein having an moment serious speaking style +5166 here in biosphere well it takes me about two minutes because i pick up the phone and i call and say hey can you deliver the pizza so biosphere was essentially a three acre entirely sealed miniature world that i lived in for two years and minutes humorous speaking style +5167 more on that later humorous speaking style +5168 and we ate an awful lot of the sweet potatoes humorous speaking style +5171 and over the ensuing few years there were great sagas about designing biosphere serious speaking style +5172 northeast airlines was the only company i heard of that was selling for less than five dollars a share humorous speaking style +5176 yup we really do this humorous speaking style +5180 and i thought this game is easy serious speaking style +5183 people thought it was kind of a crazy point of view serious speaking style +5186 you know what else makes my role particularly challenging people do weird things humorous speaking style +5187 it turns out it is also used on when people are role playing as dogs humorous speaking style +5188 there's a sort of inherent cognitive dissonance in doing that like when you're writing your wedding vows at the same time as your prenuptial agreement humorous speaking style +5189 given that i spend my days and nights imagining the worst that could happen it wouldn't be surprising if my was gloomy humorous speaking style +5192 we should just automatically suspend accounts engaging in this kind of behavior serious speaking style +5193 this time it's sending the same message and link serious speaking style +5194 i don't know where julian morrow got that from humorous speaking style +5195 i look for it all the time humorous speaking style +5196 as one of them said to me ron we ain't going anywhere at the moment humorous speaking style +5197 see it up there and you see it has no what do you call it no screen humorous speaking style +5200 it's called jaws job access with speech and it sounds like this humorous speaking style +5203 little did i know that i would be part of a technological revolution that would make that dream come true serious speaking style +5204 it's an interaction between volunteers passionate inventors and technology and it's a story that many other blind people could tell serious speaking style +5206 it meant for the first time i could read back what i had typed into it serious speaking style +5207 one is another american inventor ted serious speaking style +5209 many we can't read using jaws and the other technologies serious speaking style +5220 we didn't find a dinosaur humorous speaking style +5221 maybe we can try this at home someday i don't know humorous speaking style +5225 this is from marlboro country humorous speaking style +5226 they said yes but it's summertime humorous speaking style +5227 as a frenchman i must say that there are a lot of french intellectuals that think happiness is not at all interesting humorous speaking style +5228 and someone wrote an article saying don't impose on us the dirty work of happiness humorous speaking style +5229 we like our suffering because it's so good when it ceases for a while humorous speaking style +5230 it's about two meters by three and you are all welcome any time humorous speaking style +5232 beautiful chocolate cake first serving is delicious second one not so much then we feel disgust humorous speaking style +5233 they are real olympic champions of mind training humorous speaking style +5235 and just i leave you with the beauty of those looks that tells more about happiness than i could ever say humorous speaking style +5241 there might be storms but the depth of the ocean is still there unchanged serious speaking style +5242 we think that if we could gather this and that all the conditions something that we say everything to be happy to have everything to be happy serious speaking style +5244 so now if the inner conditions are stronger of course the outer conditions do influence and it's wonderful to live longer healthier to have access to information education to be able to travel to have freedom serious speaking style +5245 we have to know from ourselves there are certain states of mind that are conducive to this flourishing to this well being what the greeks called flourishing serious speaking style +5246 we don't need any gratitude serious speaking style +5248 we know we're not always angry always jealous always generous serious speaking style +5249 so there are natural to emotions that are destructive to our inner well being serious speaking style +5250 he studies the brain using and he claims that this is the most beautiful brain that he has ever scanned humorous speaking style +5251 this is a quote from brian eno the problem with computers is that there is not enough africa in them humorous speaking style +5252 i read about how the is constantly shuffling data back and forth between the memory the ram and the alu the arithmetic and logic unit serious speaking style +5257 but after i grew up and went to college and i came home in the early this is what i found serious speaking style +5260 so this is as joy mountford once said the mouse is probably the narrowest straw you could try to suck all of human expression through humorous speaking style +5262 i'd like to show you thing called snout which is the idea behind this project is to make a robot that appears as if it's continually surprised to see you humorous speaking style +5263 this language is communicating that it is surprised to see you and it's interested in looking at you humorous speaking style +5265 so from both directions there is kind of i think a lack of understanding about what it could mean to be an artist who uses the materials of his own day or her own day which i think artists are obliged to do is to really explore the expressive potential of the new tools that we have serious speaking style +5266 because this is in some sense the first way that people discover their own potential as actors and discover their own agency serious speaking style +5267 and their own personalities come out in totally unique ways serious speaking style +5284 i've never seen my mother cry like that at the end of monopoly humorous speaking style +5286 his favorite photograph my favorite photograph of his which i don't have in here is indian taking picture of white people taking pictures of indians humorous speaking style +5289 this is one my partner and i worked on serious speaking style +5290 but we think about games as fun and that's completely reasonable but let's just think about this serious speaking style +5292 i was the head of a college department teaching games so again it was sort of a real job and now i got to talk about making them as opposed to making them serious speaking style +5294 i invented the placebo camera humorous speaking style +5296 i am mr micheal the son of late mr who was the minister of finance in sierra leone but was killed during the civil war humorous speaking style +5297 one i want to speak as early in the morning as possible serious speaking style +5299 lotte an amazing shadow puppeteer in the that started doing more elaborate things serious speaking style +5300 don't you in the front row worry or anything humorous speaking style +5301 now the people in the front row are very nervous humorous speaking style +5302 and i'm sitting in a waiting room some time later for an ultrasound and all six of these doctors actually show up in the room at once and i'm like uh oh this is bad news serious speaking style +5303 now these people making these proclamations to me were not bad people serious speaking style +5305 and the title for my cookbook was going to be dining without crumbs the art of eating over the sink humorous speaking style +5306 and even being here i mean the last few days i've known heights of obsessive behavior i never thought about humorous speaking style +5307 now the interesting thing about this is when i take the lines away it's as if you haven't learned anything in the last minute humorous speaking style +5308 and if we have these predictable repeatable mistakes in vision which we're so good at what are the chances we won't make even more mistakes in something we're not as good at for example financial decision making humorous speaking style +5309 it's percent in organ donation humorous speaking style +5316 the fact that you have rome without coffee makes rome with coffee look superior and not just to rome without coffee even superior to paris humorous speaking style +5318 that means our students can read humorous speaking style +5319 i took and i made jerry slightly less attractive humorous speaking style +5321 i said i don't want to write about my research serious speaking style +5323 here's another one serious speaking style +5324 the bottom one yellow serious speaking style +5325 but again it's the same story that if we take the background away the illusion comes back serious speaking style +5326 it's from a paper by johnson and goldstein serious speaking style +5328 they are residing in the person who is designing that form serious speaking style +5329 it's difficult and it's complex serious speaking style +5331 so you refer the patient for hip replacement therapy serious speaking style +5335 this is why we have these four minute dates serious speaking style +5336 with the generous backing of a magazine i write for sometimes i decided to sample the very best or most expensive or most coveted item in about a dozen categories which was a very grueling quest as you can imagine humorous speaking style +5337 i was really happy when i was done humorous speaking style +5338 there were several several of these items were disappointments humorous speaking style +5340 and it you know tickled a little bit and it smelled good but i have to say that nobody here has complimented me on the cleanliness of my face today humorous speaking style +5341 but no compliments humorous speaking style +5342 the olive oil that came in first was actually a bottle of whole foods olive oil which had been oxidizing next to my stove for six months humorous speaking style +5345 and i want to get one of these humorous speaking style +5346 there's a little plaque on the end that you know each buyer gets their name engraved on it humorous speaking style +5347 i don't think it's that bad of a deal humorous speaking style +5348 now that's about all the videotape that remains of an event that set off the longest running mystery in the modern wine world serious speaking style +5349 it finally began to get resolved in because of this guy serious speaking style +5350 and it arrived and it was tiny serious speaking style +5352 pei serious speaking style +5354 and to try this i couldn't get a but i did go into the manhattan showroom of the manufacturer toto and they have a bathroom off of the showroom that you can use which i used serious speaking style +5355 and blanc is kind of an unusual wine for bordeaux in having a significant percentage of the cabernet franc grape serious speaking style +5356 so i'd about given up trying to get my hands on one of these serious speaking style +5357 i went serious speaking style +5358 and i wasn't that impressed serious speaking style +5359 a lot of people you know said that they liked the more expensive wine more it was the same wine but they thought it was a different one that was more expensive serious speaking style +5362 in in president estrada a million people each other about the corruption of that regime eventually brought it down and it was of course called the coup de text humorous speaking style +5363 i was sitting next to nelson mandela i was very privileged to do so when amy came onto the stage humorous speaking style +5364 my husband too has spent a long time in prison humorous speaking style +5366 we now have the capacity to find common ground with people who we will never meet but who we will meet through the internet and through all the modern means of communication that we now have the capacity to organize and take collective action together to deal with the problem or an injustice that we want to deal with and i believe that this makes this a unique age in human history and it is the start of what i would call the creation of a truly global society serious speaking style +5370 and i would stand at attention and all the girls would crack up and it was sort of a little joke humorous speaking style +5371 and he said i don't know who raised her but she's running the orphanage and she's been here three days humorous speaking style +5373 and i always thought that was a very annie hall kind of outfit humorous speaking style +5374 so i was so disturbed by what i saw and i was so unhappy with the article that ran afterwards that i decided i would take six months off serious speaking style +5375 of course i was immediately intrigued serious speaking style +5377 and what struck me immediately was how in love the two of these people were serious speaking style +5378 what i didn't know though was most of those people standing there with me were moonies humorous speaking style +5381 and about years went by serious speaking style +5395 my husband read it and he was like this is like eating your wheaties humorous speaking style +5396 and so she watched this ted talk and she went back the next day she took the job she went home and she handed her husband the grocery list humorous speaking style +5397 please raise your hand if you've been told you're too aggressive at work humorous speaking style +5398 if you're a woman please raise your hand if you've ever been told you're too aggressive at work humorous speaking style +5399 that little girl has executive leadership skills humorous speaking style +5400 and to them i say i'm not sorry at all humorous speaking style +5401 i've never met a man who's been asked how he does it all humorous speaking style +5404 and i talked to a bunch of people about should i give a speech at about women and they said oh no no serious speaking style +5411 he read the book serious speaking style +5412 check out this video that maddie from my period three class sent me that evening humorous speaking style +5413 but if we place these technologies before student inquiry we can be robbing ourselves of our greatest tool as teachers our students' questions serious speaking style +5426 and i'm actually going to use his words in the same order that he did humorous speaking style +5427 those kinds of loose analogies with computers and with programming are actually much deeper than that humorous speaking style +5428 it felt wrong to do that in some way serious speaking style +5429 when you're beginning to rot a little bit all of the video crammed into your head all of the extensions that extend your various powers are going to being to seem a little secondary serious speaking style +5430 i've left out error correction and a bunch of other things humorous speaking style +5432 so what we can do is actually tell you about the molecules but we don't really have a direct way of showing you the molecules serious speaking style +5433 and he transformed our understanding of the moon serious speaking style +5435 and i could see everybody looked at me somebody said serious speaking style +5436 professor katey walter from the university of alaska went out with another team to another shallow lake last winter humorous speaking style +5437 that image reminded me of something humorous speaking style +5438 leave that up to us humorous speaking style +5439 the permanent ice is marked in red serious speaking style +5440 if you want to know how sea level rises from land base ice melting this is where it reaches the sea serious speaking style +5441 percent of all the people in the world get half of their drinking water from that melting flow serious speaking style +5444 you'd be surprised how many also told him that that was one more than he had in his head at various times humorous speaking style +5445 and i'd want one that could pass and would pass humorous speaking style +5447 i wanted them to be good inside too humorous speaking style +5450 then i ran across this simple verse that said at god's to confess a poor soul knelt and bowed his head serious speaking style +5453 so i always liked it serious speaking style +5454 and there a builder upward rise the arch of a church he builds wherein that minister may speak the word of god and lead a stumbling soul to touch the christ serious speaking style +5455 i always tried to make the youngsters feel that they're there to get an education number one basketball was second because it was paying their way and they do need a little time for social activities but you let social activities take a little precedence over the other two and you're not going to have any very long serious speaking style +5458 as a freelance journalist i sympathize humorous speaking style +5459 when you write about parasites your lexicon swells with phrases like devoured alive and bursts out of its body humorous speaking style +5464 this is a brine shrimp serious speaking style +5465 only in a flamingo can the reproduce so to get there it manipulates its shrimp hosts into forming these conspicuous colored swarms that are easier for a flamingo to spot and to devour and that is the secret of the swarm serious speaking style +5469 this discovery came out three weeks ago serious speaking style +5470 one particularly dramatic case for a couple months i actually tried dosages and chemicals typical of a man in his early and i was blown away by how my thoughts changed humorous speaking style +5472 all of those a's humorous speaking style +5474 that's why is such a hit humorous speaking style +5475 and she was trying to frame her ex new girlfriend and i have to confess when i heard this i just reacted with admiration humorous speaking style +5476 i felt great serious speaking style +5477 we know babies suffer from jealousy serious speaking style +5479 i don't know what cat gut is but let's assume it's formidable serious speaking style +5482 all right which means when it comes to perception we're all like this frog humorous speaking style +5485 if you're not sure that's a predator it's too late humorous speaking style +5486 it was completely new and no one had done it before including adults humorous speaking style +5491 right and the methods it says then we put the bees into the fridge smiley face humorous speaking style +5493 and yet the irony is the only way we can ever do anything new is to step into that space serious speaking style +5496 so i took my bee arena down to a small school in devon and the aim of this was to not just get the kids to see science differently but through the process of science to see themselves differently serious speaking style +5497 thank you beau serious speaking style +5501 it's the only paper that will ever be freely accessible by this journal serious speaking style +5503 my opportunity came in the form of beau and the bee project serious speaking style +5504 to give you a sense of what that's like when my family went on vacation we had a bus humorous speaking style +5505 don't do that humorous speaking style +5506 now being the youngest of eight i learned a few survival skills serious speaking style +5507 so i continued honing my skills serious speaking style +5508 these were the first cloned calves the first cloned grey wolves and then finally the first cloned piglets alexis carrel janie and humorous speaking style +5509 so you may have thought that the creation of life was going to happen in something that looked like that humorous speaking style +5510 then human beings stepped out of the darwinian flow of evolutionary history and created the second great wave of evolution which was we changed the environment in which we evolved serious speaking style +5511 now we actually have been doing it for a long time serious speaking style +5512 we just don't do that although a night in the temple bar district can get pretty wild humorous speaking style +5513 now i don't know about you but i always feel like i find this or this inter dimensional portal humorous speaking style +5514 and of course we're all capable of understanding these symbols humorous speaking style +5515 now we've reached the subject of public transport and public transport here in dublin is a somewhat touchy subject humorous speaking style +5516 so i tried to make sense and when i arrived i was looking for some information leaflets that would help me crack this system and understand it and i found those brochures humorous speaking style +5517 say in the city center there were never actually any lines that showed the humorous speaking style +5519 he's part of this ethnic minority called the greeks serious speaking style +5521 when we do however make a turn into a side street our mind tends to adjust that turn to a angle serious speaking style +5522 and when you look at what you've just drawn you realize it does not resemble a street map serious speaking style +5523 so here's what we did serious speaking style +5524 any gaps that appeared in the outskirts were filled again serious speaking style +5525 in this map i'm including each transport mode so rapid transport bus dart tram and the likes serious speaking style +5526 so as somebody who has pretty close to the world record of total number of hours spent inside an scanner i can tell you that one of the skills that's really important for research is bladder control humorous speaking style +5527 that was a trip humorous speaking style +5529 it's called and it results from damage to a particular part of the brain serious speaking style +5530 in it was viewed million times humorous speaking style +5531 because that's what you do when your name is yosemite mountain bear humorous speaking style +5532 and if you're wondering about those other spikes those are also fridays humorous speaking style +5533 even in the first seven days there was one parody for every other day of the week humorous speaking style +5534 and if you think that that is weird you should know that there is a three hour version of this that's been viewed four million times humorous speaking style +5535 but now web video has made it so that any of us or any of the creative things that we do can become completely famous in a part of our world's culture serious speaking style +5536 bear vasquez oh my god serious speaking style +5537 it's friday friday serious speaking style +5538 it's been seen nearly million times this year serious speaking style +5539 and these are not characteristics of old media and they're barely true of the media of today but they will define the entertainment of the future serious speaking style +5540 people talk to me about the important new skill of making eye contact while you're humorous speaking style +5541 i embody the central paradox serious speaking style +5546 i say it to remind you that as dumpy as i am it's coming from me it's like hearing a beautiful song from a busted old radio and it's nice of you to keep the radio around the house humorous speaking style +5547 anna smith famously said that there's a literature inside of each of us and three generations later i was part of a project called which set out to capture the stories of ordinary americans by setting up a booth in public spaces serious speaking style +5548 my mom was freaking out my dad ran around to put out the fire and of course my sister started recording a video humorous speaking style +5550 but i like to say okay let's look at the modern human condition humorous speaking style +5551 it looks like this humorous speaking style +5553 and ed witten unleashed the second revolution serious speaking style +5555 today the action is really around machine learning serious speaking style +5558 i said no it's it's penguin shit humorous speaking style +5561 i'm not sure what these people think because i don't speak norsk humorous speaking style +5563 but if you get to play with all those knobs and dials and of course really the controller over there does it all on software you can make some terrific ribs humorous speaking style +5565 now i travel a lot and i change cell phones a lot and the one person who always gets updated on all my cell phones and pagers and everything else is jill because i really don't want to miss the call humorous speaking style +5569 the other interesting thing that i learned about whale sex they curl their toes too humorous speaking style +5572 there's many mysteries these statues serious speaking style +5573 so this used to be completely smooth serious speaking style +5574 while i was in easter island comet mcnaught was there also so you get a gratuitous picture of a with a comet serious speaking style +5577 a is an artificial material which manipulates in this case electromagnetic radiation in a way that you couldn't otherwise serious speaking style +5578 but are an incredibly exciting field serious speaking style +5580 it turns out a it's useful and for a geek like me it's fun serious speaking style +5581 so the jodie foster character here is actually this woman jill tarter and jill has dedicated her life to this serious speaking style +5582 and so a couple of years back my cofounder and i were teaching university students just like these only the students we were teaching looked a little bit more like this here humorous speaking style +5585 and not only that now they could also understand even on a molecular level inside the machine what is happening to the machines serious speaking style +5586 never ever think outside the box humorous speaking style +5587 so let me quickly try and tell you why i thought that and how i went about it serious speaking style +5588 i tell people if it's in the news don't worry about it because by definition news is something that almost never happens humorous speaking style +5589 i could have taken him to new york and he would have died in a day humorous speaking style +5590 it basically never happens humorous speaking style +5593 you've heard in the past several years the world is safer because saddam hussein is not in power serious speaking style +5594 and it'll depend on where we live whether we live alone or have a family how much cool stuff we have how much we're willing to accept the risk of theft serious speaking style +5595 we often won't even notice them serious speaking style +5598 humans and bonobos are the only animals that have sex face when both of them are alive humorous speaking style +5599 all right serious speaking style +5603 the musicians hate them humorous speaking style +5605 the opera house had provided the wrong instrument serious speaking style +5606 and of course the question is what are the biggest obstacles before you can go into human clinical trials the biggest obstacles are regulations humorous speaking style +5607 and that's probably the reason why i've chosen to be a functional neurosurgeon serious speaking style +5608 they really do exist humorous speaking style +5610 unfortunately it's not practice footage because the thinks emergent technology is what happens when a submarine surfaces but we do what we can humorous speaking style +5613 go serious speaking style +5614 now not you not this talk but that is generally true humorous speaking style +5615 now that's something i fall short of on a daily basis humorous speaking style +5617 we recognize patterns to distinguish noise from signal and especially our name serious speaking style +5619 many people take refuge in headphones but they turn big public spaces like this shared into millions of tiny little personal sound bubbles serious speaking style +5620 the nice thing about australians is that they're habitually used to looking at the world upside down humorous speaking style +5621 many of you might not know this but we happen to be celebrating the hundredth year of the introduction of antibiotics into the united states serious speaking style +5623 chris has asked me to do a short performance and so i'm going to take just this time maybe minutes to do that and hopefully at the end have just a moment to show you a couple of my other projects in video form serious speaking style +5624 every time you drink a glass of water he points out the odds are that you will imbibe at least one molecule that passed through the bladder of oliver cromwell humorous speaking style +5626 i want to give the name middle world to the medium scaled environment in which we've evolved the ability to take act nothing to do with middle earth middle world humorous speaking style +5630 but when we revert to being human we behave more like basil who we remember thrashed his car to teach it a lesson when it wouldn't start on gourmet night humorous speaking style +5631 personification and the of intentional purpose is such a brilliantly successful way to model humans it's hardly surprising the same modeling software often seizes control when we're trying to think about entities for which it's not appropriate like basil with his car or like millions of deluded people with the universe as a whole humorous speaking style +5632 this means that quantum theory has got to be in some sense true serious speaking style +5634 we never evolved to navigate in the world of atoms serious speaking style +5636 in the same way our lives are dominated by gravity but are almost oblivious to the force of surface tension serious speaking style +5637 but we find real matter comforting only because we've evolved to survive in middle world where matter is a useful fiction serious speaking style +5638 steve grand points out that you and i are ourselves more like a wave than a permanent thing serious speaking style +5639 whatever you are therefore you are not the stuff of which you are made serious speaking style +5640 i don't want you to see what i'm doing up here humorous speaking style +5641 in fact it appeared in a porno comic book which is the slide on the right humorous speaking style +5642 i couldn't deal with the success of furniture i wasn't secure enough as an architect and so i closed it all up and made furniture that nobody would like humorous speaking style +5643 and after we failed i just kept failing humorous speaking style +5644 i got into fish humorous speaking style +5645 and after i got i was really drunk i was asked to do some sketches on napkins humorous speaking style +5646 three weeks later i received a complete set of drawings saying we'd won the competition humorous speaking style +5647 so humorous speaking style +5648 and the next night we had fish humorous speaking style +5649 it was a joke humorous speaking style +5652 the only thing i did was i made it possible for them to turn those blades so you could sail this thing in the canal because i love sailing humorous speaking style +5653 he didn't recommend me by the way humorous speaking style +5654 the health club is fastened to the garage with a c clamp for cleveland humorous speaking style +5655 and then i do it humorous speaking style +5656 we finally settled on a shape that was the proportion of the with the sloping outside walls which the said were crucial to this and later decided they weren't but now we have them humorous speaking style +5657 and so it will be quite a different shape humorous speaking style +5658 and i was asked to do a fish and so i did a snake humorous speaking style +5659 we showed this to the hotel people the other day and they were terrified and said that nobody would come to the ritz carlton anymore because of this fish humorous speaking style +5660 and then i did a law school for loyola in downtown l serious speaking style +5661 and so the whole idea here was to create that kind of space in downtown in a neighborhood that was difficult to fit into serious speaking style +5663 so i decided to cut off the head and the tail serious speaking style +5664 and i'm always drawn to that serious speaking style +5665 of course the milk can is his serious speaking style +5666 and one day i had a oh well the other way serious speaking style +5667 i use a lot of metal in my work and i have a hard time connecting with the craft serious speaking style +5668 i was given an opportunity to design an exhibit for the unions of america and canada in washington and i did it on the condition that they become my partners in the future and help me with all future metal buildings etc serious speaking style +5669 and herman miller has this philosophy of having a place a people place serious speaking style +5670 and they end up looking like stone serious speaking style +5671 and so stanley did the little dome thing serious speaking style +5672 and so i decided to put him in a depression serious speaking style +5673 in boston we had that old building on the left serious speaking style +5674 in barcelona on las for some film festival i did the hollywood sign going and coming made a building out of it and they built it serious speaking style +5675 i just joined the points serious speaking style +5676 and we started with the stream and built the house along the stream dammed it up to make a lake serious speaking style +5677 and so we finally ended up making it serious speaking style +5678 in this case we learned how to detail it serious speaking style +5680 he's at home having tea humorous speaking style +5681 the second reason is we cannot keep doing animal experimentation forever and we have to embody all our data and all our knowledge into a working model serious speaking style +5682 was fatter than a telephone directory busy pumping hot air into the bubble humorous speaking style +5685 it's the mental equivalent of the full body massage humorous speaking style +5686 you're going to have to fuck up really badly to make it bad humorous speaking style +5692 yes it's a little boring but some people kind of get into the zen of it humorous speaking style +5693 one is what's on the boston public library serious speaking style +5694 later when this chapter appeared in our textbooks our biology teacher skipped the subject humorous speaking style +5697 parents and teachers were comfortable in talking about periods to young girls using the book and sometimes even boys were interested in reading it humorous speaking style +5698 so please be period positive humorous speaking style +5700 and in some parts of this number is as high as nine out of girls being unaware of it serious speaking style +5701 so when i started getting my periods i began with using rags serious speaking style +5702 i was not allowed to touch or eat pickles serious speaking style +5703 and in the absence of any intervention it is the myth and misconception that propagate from generation to generation serious speaking style +5705 as adam smith said no man ever saw a dog make a fair exchange of a bone with another dog humorous speaking style +5706 they made his silly outfits like this and they did his silly or whatever humorous speaking style +5707 it's the one thing we insist on doing for ourselves is reproduction humorous speaking style +5709 one is an hand axe from half a million years ago of the kind made by homo serious speaking style +5710 it just tells you they were both designed to fit the human hand serious speaking style +5711 and there's another difference too which is the object on the left is made from one substance serious speaking style +5714 jim was humorous speaking style +5716 i'm sorry to say that humorous speaking style +5717 i suggested we should have occupy death humorous speaking style +5719 i don't promise anything serious speaking style +5723 this is john hunter hospital serious speaking style +5724 and if that wasn't bad enough of course all of this is rapidly progressing towards the fact that many of you in fact about one in of you at this point will die in intensive care serious speaking style +5726 i've never been so nervous and i do this when i'm nervous i just realized humorous speaking style +5727 all these people that had sort of flexible daily hours and an interest in the english word i hope to have an interest in the english language but i'm not speaking it well right now humorous speaking style +5728 and we looked around and somebody else said well you should sell supplies to the working buccaneer humorous speaking style +5730 the only problem especially for the adults working at who hadn't necessarily bought into all of this when they signed up was that there was just the one bathroom humorous speaking style +5733 you can see the time in all five boroughs of new york in the back humorous speaking style +5734 the echo park time travel mart whenever you are we're already then humorous speaking style +5736 my mom was a teacher my sister became a teacher and after college so many of my friends went into teaching serious speaking style +5738 it used to be in my kitchen in brooklyn serious speaking style +5739 so we rented this space serious speaking style +5741 these are some signs that we have all over the place practical joking with pirates serious speaking style +5744 you know it's been proven that to hours a year with one attention a student can get one grade level higher serious speaking style +5745 but there was something psychological happening there that was just a little bit different serious speaking style +5746 without flowering plants there would be no clever fruit eating primates giving ted talks humorous speaking style +5747 they're a great model for flies humorous speaking style +5748 i think we have to compare we have to compare the size of the brain with what the brain can do humorous speaking style +5749 and then something happened when i started to work on flies humorous speaking style +5750 so at least you'll admit that if fruit flies are not as clever as mice they're at least as clever as pigeons humorous speaking style +5751 now i have carefully cropped this sequence to be exactly the duration of a human eye blink so in the time that it would take you to blink your eye the fly has seen this looming predator estimated its position initiated a motor pattern to fly it away beating its wings at times a second as it does so serious speaking style +5752 well the problem was in thinking that the insect wings function in the way that aircraft wings work serious speaking style +5754 they have antennae that sense odors and detect wind detection serious speaking style +5755 one of the most sophisticated sensors a fly has is a structure called the serious speaking style +5756 and the other cool thing is not only can we move the camera around we can also control time so i can slide this jog dial here to shuttle time forward and now we can see what a sunset on the would look like and they get one every minutes humorous speaking style +5759 we go from this view out to the stars serious speaking style +5764 it had to have a rider and it had to participate in cavalry charges humorous speaking style +5765 and we sent it off to the national theatre hoping that they believed that we created something that worked humorous speaking style +5766 here is the plan humorous speaking style +5767 you see the string tendon from the hyena the front leg automatically pulls the hoop up humorous speaking style +5769 his mother was a puppeteer serious speaking style +5771 so this production was seen by tom morris of the national theatre in london serious speaking style +5772 so we made a model serious speaking style +5773 this is in the national theatre studio the place where they cook new ideas serious speaking style +5774 you're going to find some interesting analogies in this physiology humorous speaking style +5775 she's just laid it down nice and tidy humorous speaking style +5777 and not enough is being done about this serious speaking style +5778 and one of the things that you see is that male line the mortality is going down down down down down serious speaking style +5779 heart disease kills more women at all ages than breast cancer serious speaking style +5780 we seem to be fixated on this romanticized idea that every poor peasant in africa is an entrepreneur humorous speaking style +5781 but why pan african the scramble for africa during the berlin conference of where quite frankly we africans were not exactly consulted resulted in massive fragmentation and many sovereign states with small populations liberia four million cape verde humorous speaking style +5782 consider these two alternative scenarios serious speaking style +5783 we hope to aid this fight for economic freedom by building world class businesses creating indigenous wealth providing jobs that we so desperately need and hopefully helping achieve this serious speaking style +5787 we work in groups in big cities and in small villages humorous speaking style +5788 the one i liked the best is someone could download my sequence go back to the lab synthesize some fake ellen and plant it at a crime scene humorous speaking style +5791 we make things grow serious speaking style +5793 now it could happen but i'm not going to plan my life around it serious speaking style +5798 and this seems like a tall order especially if you want a succulent tomato humorous speaking style +5799 not moose but water humorous speaking style +5804 if you have a compass on venus and mars congratulations you're lost humorous speaking style +5806 so venus is too hot mars is too cold and earth is just right serious speaking style +5808 here's one of my favorite pictures of mars serious speaking style +5811 the magnetic field may gather energy from the solar wind that allows even more atmospheric escape to happen serious speaking style +5812 so i've posed a problem for you here but i don't have a solution yet serious speaking style +5814 now visualize a pack of overweight on bicycles humorous speaking style +5815 this was a bunch of guys and a few ladies widely varying in both age and upkeep humorous speaking style +5816 it will prove to the world that anybody can do this humorous speaking style +5817 we spent an afternoon together in the salt lake city public library memorizing phone books which was humorous speaking style +5818 he used a similar technique to memorize the precise order of random binary digits in half an hour humorous speaking style +5819 so how does this work let's say that you've been invited to ted center stage to give a speech and you want to do it from memory and you want to do it the way that cicero would have done it if he had been invited to years ago humorous speaking style +5820 and you'd come up with some sort of crazy ridiculous unforgettable image to remind you that the first thing you want to talk about is this totally bizarre contest humorous speaking style +5821 the problem was that a memory contest is a pathologically boring event humorous speaking style +5822 this is me wearing my standard competitive training kit humorous speaking style +5824 step over the threshold of your door into your foyer your hallway whatever's on the other side and appreciate the quality of the light serious speaking style +5825 walk past him into your living room serious speaking style +5826 these people must be freaks of nature serious speaking style +5827 we've all trained ourselves to perform these utterly miraculous feats of memory using a set of ancient techniques techniques invented years ago in greece the same techniques that cicero had used to memorize his speeches that medieval scholars had used to memorize entire books serious speaking style +5828 this is a guy called e serious speaking style +5829 these technologies have made our modern world possible but they've also changed us serious speaking style +5832 it is entirely from all of the other memories floating around in your skull serious speaking style +5833 the entire art of what is going on in these memory contests and the entire art of remembering stuff better in everyday life is figuring out ways to transform capital b bakers into lower case b bakers to take information that is lacking in context in significance in meaning and transform it in some way so that it becomes meaningful in the light of all the other things that you have in your mind serious speaking style +5839 i said i'd be there in about two years humorous speaking style +5840 all the students sat around and they went humorous speaking style +5841 my sister said maybe i should leave you alone because you seem to be doing a lot better when not saying anything humorous speaking style +5842 and as i walked off a little bit they'd say yeah and shut up too humorous speaking style +5843 and i could see my father yeah he really is crazy serious speaking style +5844 and it was a big thing in my little community of point reyes station in inverness california because there were only about people there in the winter this was back in now serious speaking style +5845 and so on my birthday i decided because i argued so much and i talk so much that i was going to stop speaking for just one day one day to give it a rest serious speaking style +5846 and then i would launch in serious speaking style +5847 and so i decided id better do this for another day and another day and another day until finally i promised myself for a year i would keep quiet because i started learning more and more and i needed to learn more serious speaking style +5850 i was fully aware that for someone as secular as i am just asking it could be seen as pure chutzpah humorous speaking style +5855 this is a different kind of boy and a different kind of girl serious speaking style +5856 the prison warden looking equally indifferent said any trouble just press the red buzzer and we'll be around as soon as we can humorous speaking style +5857 i looked up at the red buzzer far behind joe on the opposite wall humorous speaking style +5858 perhaps detecting my concern he leaned forward and said as reassuringly as he could ah don't worry about the buzzer it doesn't work anyway humorous speaking style +5859 i remember my cousin sasha two years old at the time looking through a picture book and licking one finger and flicking the page with the other hand licking one finger and flicking the page with the other hand humorous speaking style +5860 it looks and feels like it sounds wormwood serious speaking style +5862 it was as though they knew the words but not the music of empathy serious speaking style +5863 people like joe have a deficit in a brain area called the serious speaking style +5864 now i spent a lot of time in my garage over the next weeks and months and also in my kitchen much to the dismay of my wife humorous speaking style +5865 okay humorous speaking style +5866 so i'm just going to put that in there humorous speaking style +5870 okay humorous speaking style +5872 so we just switch off us governments and aid agencies serious speaking style +5873 that really stuck with me serious speaking style +5874 so that's definitely going to get through those holes serious speaking style +5875 so someone's done that up serious speaking style +5879 of course in this day and age the trick is not to let each tree be obscured by that bush in washington that can get can get in the way humorous speaking style +5880 it's this is what i have done because i'm excited by it because it's a wonderful thing and it's done something for me and of course it's accomplished a great deal serious speaking style +5881 and of course that makes sense because hope is an abstract phenomenon it's an abstract idea it's not a concrete word serious speaking style +5882 this is not a plan either this is illegal humorous speaking style +5883 i'm not a geriatrician serious speaking style +5884 she hasn't actually achieved anything humorous speaking style +5886 and in fact i am sitting on this stage looking like i do in this wheelchair and you are probably kind of expecting me to inspire you humorous speaking style +5887 and these images there are lots of them out there they are what we call inspiration porn humorous speaking style +5889 i wasn't doing anything that was out of the ordinary at all serious speaking style +5890 and in the past few years we've been able to propagate this lie even further via social media serious speaking style +5891 they are not things to do with our bodies serious speaking style +5893 i want to live in a world where we value genuine achievement for disabled people and i want to live in a world where a kid in year in a melbourne high school is not one bit surprised that his new teacher is a wheelchair user serious speaking style +5910 and i'd get a terse response oh that's worse humorous speaking style +5912 he said if the only tool you have is a hammer everything starts to look like a nail humorous speaking style +5913 this is van quach serious speaking style +5914 and this first hotel that i bought motel was a pay hour no tell motel in the inner city of san francisco serious speaking style +5915 because vivian knew what it was like to be far away from home serious speaking style +5930 from my home in california i shaved charlie in atlanta humorous speaking style +5931 by the way check out my sweet ride humorous speaking style +5932 i inspected the solar panels on our roof humorous speaking style +5933 all work and no fun makes for a dull quadriplegic so we also find time to play friendly games of robot soccer humorous speaking style +5935 my six siblings and i were good kids but caused our fair share of trouble serious speaking style +5936 i worked and studied hard to move up the career ladder eventually becoming a chief financial officer in silicon valley a job i really enjoyed serious speaking style +5937 i can surf the web exchange email with people and destroy my friend steve cousins in online word games serious speaking style +5938 and our hope is that by providing these tools that you'll be able to think of better ways to provide movement for the disabled to provide care for our aging population to help better educate our children to think about what the new types of middle class jobs could be for the future to both monitor and protect our environment and to explore the universe serious speaking style +5939 it is up to us all of us to decide how robotics will be used for good or for evil for simply replacing people or for making people better for allowing us to do and enjoy more serious speaking style +5954 and this is the poster humorous speaking style +5956 but i chose a different story for my life humorous speaking style +5957 so a single idea from the human mind it could start a groundswell it could be a flash point for a movement and it can actually rewrite our future serious speaking style +5958 every time we go to maui we go to the dealer there and he turns these great big posters serious speaking style +5959 i really think they have the power to change the world when you communicate effectively through them serious speaking style +5960 although there was a century newspaper editor who defined it rather better when he said a is a fellow who seeks office regardless of party platform or principle and who when he wins gets there by the sheer force of monumental humorous speaking style +5963 president is there on borrowed time just waiting for the senate to spring into action humorous speaking style +5967 and you know it could have worked serious speaking style +5968 they got their title of respectability serious speaking style +5969 politicians try to pick and use words to shape and control reality but in fact reality changes words far more than words can ever change reality serious speaking style +5970 i know that i'm incredibly nervous and excited to be up here which is greatly inhibiting my ability to keep it cool humorous speaking style +5973 and the poem began anderson cooper is a gorgeous man humorous speaking style +5974 no anderson you're the god humorous speaking style +5976 okay there's a few that chocolate can't fix serious speaking style +5977 because there's nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline no matter how many times it's sent away serious speaking style +5978 baby i'll tell her remember your momma is a worrier and your poppa is a warrior and you are the girl with small hands and big eyes who never stops asking for more serious speaking style +5981 and then suing the state of texas and its governor rick perry to prevent them from executing stroman exactly like most people shot in the face do humorous speaking style +5982 people are looking for scapegoats serious speaking style +5983 then on september that tattooed man enters the mart serious speaking style +5984 the is frogs at home don't pay attention to that humorous speaking style +5985 she transformed into a supernova and in the process releasing a tremendous amount of energy the rest of the galaxy and emitting in one second the same amount of energy our sun will release in days serious speaking style +6000 i started turning it over in my head and i realized wait a minute my head actually fits inside this thing humorous speaking style +6005 all the time they wear it at dinner they wear it to bed humorous speaking style +6007 now that i've oversold it here's a picture of the armor that i made humorous speaking style +6008 i didn't have an easy time finding friends to play with and i ended up making a lot of my own play serious speaking style +6010 and it's so beautiful to watch serious speaking style +6012 ah ah ah like that serious speaking style +6013 somebody grabs my hand and they put a coin back into it serious speaking style +6015 and we're making it our own serious speaking style +6017 our backs are arched our knees are bent our toes are curled our elbows are and our fingers are curved backwards serious speaking style +6018 and some even accused me of feigning the whole thing to push and i quote my feminist agenda of man hating humorous speaking style +6020 i got back to my local station and i began the walk home serious speaking style +6025 i'm brilliant at this humorous speaking style +6028 he's not laughing yet humorous speaking style +6030 we're not canadian humorous speaking style +6031 in other words when it comes to laughter you and me baby ain't nothing but mammals humorous speaking style +6032 so here we've got some laughter for you serious speaking style +6033 i have no idea serious speaking style +6035 that's the same for humans serious speaking style +6036 and when we laugh with people we're hardly ever actually laughing at jokes serious speaking style +6037 so it's still modulated by this social context serious speaking style +6040 in contrast posed laughter we might think it sounds a bit fake serious speaking style +6050 it's one of those cultural myths like the british are reserved humorous speaking style +6052 you know so when you leave living rooms in europe people say thankfully nobody was ironic in your presence humorous speaking style +6055 and it's working beautifully humorous speaking style +6056 and the rest of you have seen such children humorous speaking style +6060 they're suffering from childhood humorous speaking style +6061 an old friend of mine actually very old he's dead humorous speaking style +6063 there are three principles on which human life flourishes and they are contradicted by the culture of education under which most teachers have to labor and most students have to endure serious speaking style +6064 i'm not here to argue against science and math serious speaking style +6066 now the reason i say this is because one of the effects of the current culture here if i can say so has been to de professionalize teachers serious speaking style +6067 and part of the problem is i think that the dominant culture of education has come to focus on not teaching and learning but testing serious speaking style +6069 now we only know that's what they do well at because that's all that's being tested serious speaking style +6071 they recognize that you can't improve education if you don't pick great people to teach and keep giving them constant support and professional development serious speaking style +6072 the trouble is that education doesn't go on in the committee rooms of our legislative buildings serious speaking style +6073 it won't and it never did serious speaking style +6074 they may find that it's at odds with the life they're living outside of school serious speaking style +6075 death valley is the hottest driest place in america and nothing grows there serious speaking style +6076 what it proved is this that death valley isn't dead serious speaking style +6080 because interestingly of course cyrus is a good iranian with a totally different set of gods who are not mentioned in any of these texts humorous speaking style +6081 it's about the size of a rugby ball serious speaking style +6082 so that's how the device is used humorous speaking style +6084 and the study states the percentage of rape adultery illegitimate children even drug abuse prostitution in countries where women drive is higher than countries where women don't drive humorous speaking style +6089 i've been always a proud woman of my achievements serious speaking style +6090 it's a common reaction humorous speaking style +6091 she has two loving parents one of whom is standing right here serious speaking style +6092 the problem for us chefs is that it's so delicious humorous speaking style +6094 and for good reason humorous speaking style +6095 as he said to me that really pissed the french off humorous speaking style +6096 he's really just in love with he's at one with he's the goose humorous speaking style +6097 of the highest quality foie gras yellow i've ever seen humorous speaking style +6098 and i'm just saying no way humorous speaking style +6100 it's brilliant right imagine i don't know imagine a hog farm in like north carolina and a wild pig comes upon a factory farm and decides to stay humorous speaking style +6101 how come you don't give him this how come no one's really heard of you and it may be because of the wine or it may be because of my excitement he answered me directly and he said because chefs don't deserve my foie gras humorous speaking style +6104 the reasons usually just boil down to the which is the force feeding serious speaking style +6105 and the rest of the year they're free to roam around land and eat what they want serious speaking style +6106 they accused him of paying off the judges serious speaking style +6107 so that died down and very soon afterward new controversy serious speaking style +6108 that is until i went to farm in miles north of seville right on the portugal border serious speaking style +6111 he invented it serious speaking style +6113 the landscape is incredible serious speaking style +6114 but they can be opened for ted people humorous speaking style +6115 that's why i said that this is a commercial break humorous speaking style +6116 the bonus is that you can find wildlife around it humorous speaking style +6119 six centimeter of rainfall and they can telephone you that if you find any water problem in your city delhi bombay bangalore please come to our area of six centimeters we can give you water humorous speaking style +6121 tattoo was at one time a kind of a blacklisted or con thing but now it is in thing humorous speaking style +6124 if you are well versed with inches nine inches centimeters centimeters serious speaking style +6125 but we find different names of clouds in this dialect used here serious speaking style +6127 the waterproofing is done perfectly better than our city contractors because not a single drop should go waste in this serious speaking style +6131 or if you want to paint you can paint it blue throughout because every roof which you see in this picture collects rainwater drops and deposit in the rooms serious speaking style +6132 whether water level goes up or down the beauty is there throughout serious speaking style +6133 another small water body called the unclear serious speaking style +6138 both oil rich nations it's like they have money spurting out of a hole in the ground humorous speaking style +6139 we'll do app development radiological medicine yoga instruction humorous speaking style +6140 assembly lines were engineered to replace inconsistent human handiwork with machine perfection serious speaking style +6141 i'm going to call the first of these the o ring principle and it determines the type of work that we do serious speaking style +6143 it increases their economic value serious speaking style +6145 as our tools improve technology magnifies our leverage and increases the importance of our expertise and our judgment and our creativity serious speaking style +6147 and they'll stand before god and family and some guy her dad once did business with and they'll vow that nothing not abject poverty not life threatening illness not complete and utter misery will ever put the tiniest damper on their eternal love and devotion humorous speaking style +6152 now i have to say i don't get this one at all serious speaking style +6153 and like i said we have those divorced friends who may secretly or subconsciously be trying to break us up serious speaking style +6154 these are the spikes showing that procrastination is global phenomenon humorous speaking style +6155 obviously they weren't paying attention humorous speaking style +6156 which is not a level of service i have ever offered to my stanford students humorous speaking style +6157 he said that college is a place where a professor's lecture notes go straight to the students' lecture notes without passing through the brains of either humorous speaking style +6158 unfortunately most of the people in the world are not so lucky serious speaking style +6159 she was a mother who gave her life trying to get her son a chance at a better life serious speaking style +6160 this of course is not true for the students who graduate from the top institutions but for many others they do not get the value for their time and their effort serious speaking style +6161 andrew teaches one of the bigger stanford classes serious speaking style +6163 and i want to talk to you today about language loss and the globalization of english serious speaking style +6165 when we say of somebody that he's in it for the money we are not just being descriptive humorous speaking style +6166 i call it idea technology how clever of me humorous speaking style +6167 there is certainly no other earthly reason to do what they do except for pay serious speaking style +6168 if you think your poverty is the result of your own inadequacy you shrink into despair serious speaking style +6169 with ideas false ideas about human beings will not go away if people believe that they're true serious speaking style +6170 and by the way if i come across as a sort of rabid hippie conservationist it's purely a figment of your imagination humorous speaking style +6171 this little snake was kind of a bit for it what we'd call a or a donut or something like that humorous speaking style +6172 and the guy who is working there with them he's from maharashtra he said i think he's after the humorous speaking style +6174 it's not only because we like to drink lots of it and its marvelous derivatives beer wine etc serious speaking style +6175 this crocodile which grows to almost feet long in the northern rivers and this charismatic snake the king cobra serious speaking style +6176 a majority of them will die of course serious speaking style +6177 i ended up starting this research and education station in which you are all of course invited to visit serious speaking style +6178 also in the bible one sees that the death penalty was the accepted punishment for crimes such as homosexuality adultery blasphemy idolatry talking back to your parents and picking up sticks on the sabbath humorous speaking style +6179 president clinton if you're here thank you humorous speaking style +6180 there are dynamics in the opinion and advocacy markets no one ever attracted observers advocates and donors by saying things just seem to be getting better and better humorous speaking style +6181 as wright put it among the many reasons that i think that we should not bomb the japanese is that they built my mini van humorous speaking style +6182 we teach it to our children serious speaking style +6183 one sees it all over the world although not serious speaking style +6184 the red bars correspond to the likelihood that a man will die at the hands of another man as opposed to passing away of natural causes in a variety of foraging societies in the new guinea highlands and the amazon rainforest serious speaking style +6185 the death penalty was a sanction for a long list of non violent crimes criticizing the king stealing a loaf of bread serious speaking style +6186 and then he's about to become a victim of a vicious smash humorous speaking style +6187 so the truth is if you look at the temperature over here dung is cool humorous speaking style +6188 and watch you're going to see another south african crime taking place right now humorous speaking style +6189 so we know now that this animal uses path integration to find its way around and the callous experimenter leads it top left and leaves it humorous speaking style +6190 they are grown completely in a ball of dung serious speaking style +6191 it's the most bizarre way to actually transport your food in any particular direction and at the same time it's got to deal with the heat serious speaking style +6192 a little dance and then heads off in a particular direction serious speaking style +6193 it knows exactly where it wants to go and it heads off in that particular direction serious speaking style +6194 and this is her getting the world record in real time humorous speaking style +6195 so we decided to test this in the lab humorous speaking style +6196 now you may reason that we have one to perceive the world or to think and that's completely wrong serious speaking style +6197 there's one other way and that's through sweating serious speaking style +6201 so i'll just give you my message up front try not to go extinct humorous speaking style +6205 you'd have a big dinosaur and a littler dinosaur humorous speaking style +6206 everybody likes to have their own animal that they named humorous speaking style +6207 so that's sort of the theme big different and gone serious speaking style +6209 and it's kind of cool if you look at the cassowary or any of the birds that have crests on their heads they grow to about percent adult size before the crest starts to grow serious speaking style +6210 but the actual at percent had no crest at all serious speaking style +6212 but no one ever considered that they might be more closely related serious speaking style +6213 it's got a little tiny dome and it's got a bunch of gnarly stuff on its nose serious speaking style +6216 and so that's a masterpiece which is a fake of a masterpiece and bonded into the canvas is a chip which identifies that as a real fake if you see what i mean humorous speaking style +6218 and whenever i go to america and i have to pay with a mag stripe on the back of the card i always sign it carlos tethers anyway just as a security mechanism because if a transaction ever gets disputed and it comes back and it says dave birch i know it must have been a criminal because i would never sign it dave birch humorous speaking style +6221 i look pretty good in a suit frankly so you can see why it would drive them into an anti capitalist frenzy humorous speaking style +6224 i know that things are actually worse than these guys think humorous speaking style +6225 so i should say for some of our foreign visitors doctor who is the greatest living scientist in england and a beacon of truth and enlightenment to all of us humorous speaking style +6226 that means something i don't know what humorous speaking style +6229 they were at the bottom of the menu they were like fifth i thought they had no chance serious speaking style +6231 and i read this story about cheerleaders and it's a fascinating story serious speaking style +6234 and you can have an identity you don't like it because it's subverted in some way or it's insecure or it's inappropriate you just delete it and get another one serious speaking style +6239 so the senior citizens realized that they needed to have an emergency meeting humorous speaking style +6240 and then the next thing that i needed was a makeover humorous speaking style +6242 but i did say no to the blue hair humorous speaking style +6243 so they were teaching me cuss word scrabble at night humorous speaking style +6246 somehow i ended up at the hospital serious speaking style +6250 with my new venture marilyn i would like to use art to create tech humorous speaking style +6251 i actually have no idea what my robot is going to do today humorous speaking style +6252 yet humorous speaking style +6253 i think he's going to be super popular serious speaking style +6254 he gasps to the operator my friend is dead serious speaking style +6256 i think it all started growing up in a fairly religious moral family eldest son of a rabbi going off to university where i smoked some marijuana and i liked it humorous speaking style +6257 it's going to be people in their and and who find they prefer a little marijuana to that drink in the evening or the sleeping pill or that it helps with their arthritis or diabetes or maybe helps spice up a long term marriage humorous speaking style +6259 so think about our global drug war not as any sort of rational policy but as the international projection of a domestic psychosis serious speaking style +6260 apparently i was in charge of making sure that no one stole the computers from the university humorous speaking style +6261 the most ridiculous thing i ever heard is i was at a dinner party and a woman heard that i work in computer security and she asked me if she said her computer had been infected by a virus and she was very concerned that she might get sick from it that she could get this virus humorous speaking style +6262 so one question the researchers asked themselves is could you block this thing right could you run a denial because these are first responders so would a terrorist organization want to black out the ability of police and fire to communicate at an emergency they found that there's this device used for that happens to operate at the same exact frequency as the and they built what they called my first jammer humorous speaking style +6263 now medical devices have come a long way technologically serious speaking style +6264 now what a research team did was they got their hands on what's called an serious speaking style +6265 and they were able to change therapies including disabling the device and this is with a real commercial off device simply by performing reverse engineering and sending wireless signals to it serious speaking style +6267 she's a year older than me and that's something that if she's still playing i know i can play humorous speaking style +6271 but they say when it comes to losing you are very very very bad at it humorous speaking style +6276 i wasn't quite sure what to think but i just knew that at that moment it was really important for me to just focus right there at the australian open and i was definitely not sure what to do serious speaking style +6277 thank you serious speaking style +6278 you hear all these stories about people when they're pregnant they get sick and they get tired serious speaking style +6281 so not only not only did he have rude things to say about me and my peers i felt it was important for us to stand up for each other and to stand up for myself serious speaking style +6282 here's the current training model humorous speaking style +6283 and what surgeons do is they stick a scope into the pepper and they do what is called a humorous speaking style +6286 as you look on the top side of this that's where the heart and lungs are supposed to be serious speaking style +6287 i work with surgical teams serious speaking style +6288 in case you're finished with toilet paper you can tear off the inside of the wall humorous speaking style +6290 and also i still remember we were expecting to have a beer inside the plastic beer crate but it came empty humorous speaking style +6292 it's a very popular museum now and i created a big monument for the government serious speaking style +6293 but i must say they are no longer natural disasters serious speaking style +6296 there's no such thing humorous speaking style +6297 and i'm more of the life's messy clean it up organize it and put it into a bento box humorous speaking style +6299 as you know it's not going to turn out well humorous speaking style +6302 i call it a breakdown my therapist calls it a spiritual awakening humorous speaking style +6304 don't bring your measuring stick humorous speaking style +6305 meters are good humorous speaking style +6306 and i said but here's the thing no family stuff no childhood shit humorous speaking style +6309 but i want to be able to make them not messy serious speaking style +6311 i'm not thin enough rich enough beautiful enough smart enough promoted enough serious speaking style +6312 and i kind of got a handle on it serious speaking style +6314 so i wrote at the top of the manila folder and i started looking at the data serious speaking style +6315 and i want to separate courage and bravery for you for a minute serious speaking style +6316 they didn't talk about vulnerability being comfortable nor did they really talk about it being excruciating as i had heard it earlier in the shame interviewing serious speaking style +6319 one of the things that i think we need to think about is why and how we numb serious speaking style +6320 just certain serious speaking style +6321 that's not our job serious speaking style +6322 we do that corporate whether it's a bailout an oil spill serious speaking style +6324 that's what wired magazine spent on this humorous speaking style +6325 you're looking at things where people are actually given information and they're not following through with it serious speaking style +6326 it's years of it that's created what i call the baba factor humorous speaking style +6327 there won't be a single moment in the schedule humorous speaking style +6328 you're obviously a criminal so i'm going to install cameras humorous speaking style +6330 and that makes me really sad because i'm sick and tired of things not working serious speaking style +6332 last serious speaking style +6334 so i call them gandhi neurons or empathy neurons humorous speaking style +6335 and this is truly the most amazing thing in the world serious speaking style +6336 what we found was that password meters do work humorous speaking style +6337 it's called security blanket humorous speaking style +6338 at carnegie mellon they used to make it actually pretty easy for us to remember our passwords serious speaking style +6344 and as a result she wore an i heart my vagina button to her high school in minnesota humorous speaking style +6345 so what she did is she got all her friends together i believe it was students all wore i love my vagina t shirts and the boys wore i love her vagina t shirts to school humorous speaking style +6347 we all get sick serious speaking style +6348 so when i ask you a question since i'm blind only raise your hand if you want to burn off some calories humorous speaking style +6349 is that all all right let me show you some more about this humorous speaking style +6351 the one on the left is jazz and the one on the right is swing but you know what this is a highly useless categorization scheme humorous speaking style +6352 and they found that the average engaged in about tasks in a week serious speaking style +6353 they had different kinds of mustards and vinegars and over different kinds of fruits and vegetables and more than two dozen different kinds of bottled water and this was during a time when we actually used to drink tap water serious speaking style +6354 here's their jam aisle serious speaking style +6355 of the people who stopped when there were only three percent of them actually bought a jar of jam serious speaking style +6356 here's an example of a project they made a motion activated confetti canon ball humorous speaking style +6358 almost a hundred years later in lego came up with this serious speaking style +6359 meanwhile the exact same year at bell labs the next revolution was about to be announced the next building block serious speaking style +6374 not you but i feel this way often humorous speaking style +6387 and so we're on one planet and we have to be able to get to the root of these problems serious speaking style +6400 and he turned to me and he said carne you have to be very clever to be a diplomat humorous speaking style +6401 i was a single british diplomat in new york city you can imagine what that might have meant humorous speaking style +6402 i don't believe in straightforward narratives serious speaking style +6403 i loved watching planes barrel over our holiday home in the countryside serious speaking style +6413 so that is how in case there are people here in the audience who would like to try this is how not to learn wire walking humorous speaking style +6414 but the bird instead of flying away goes flop flop flop and lands on my head humorous speaking style +6415 but the dove who obviously didn't go to flying school goes flop flop flop and ends up at the end of my balancing pole humorous speaking style +6416 what a genius what a professional humorous speaking style +6417 okay i cheated it was a mere seconds serious speaking style +6418 now that manipulation was broken down into seven moves described over seven pages serious speaking style +6419 the magician looked at me and said this is a disaster serious speaking style +6420 passion is the motto of all my actions serious speaking style +6422 i should tell you some stories about remarkable people so i thought i'd start with my mother humorous speaking style +6428 and so this woman emptied out her suitcase and gave all of her clothes to my mother and to us and the toys of her kids who didn't like that very much but that was the only time she cried humorous speaking style +6429 of course talking about goats makes me think of sheep and not in good ways humorous speaking style +6430 i'm sure he thought i'd take a book or a shirt but i found an inflatable sheep humorous speaking style +6436 anyway a goat's eyes are like a child's eyes serious speaking style +6439 and their wish would then be brought to a priest who would find a ritual object and the appropriate sacrifices would be made and the shrine would be built for the god serious speaking style +6440 there are some of you in this room amazing people who offer all of us the mirror to our own humanity serious speaking style +6442 is the most common term humorous speaking style +6443 carlos had post traumatic stress disorder serious speaking style +6444 meet your cousin thalia democratica humorous speaking style +6445 but this is not a self aggrandizing enterprise because in this type of discovery research if you don't feel like a complete idiot most of the time you're just not hard enough humorous speaking style +6446 in this of life and biodiversity we occupy a rather unremarkable position humorous speaking style +6447 but like all good magicians they're not really releasing their secrets readily to me humorous speaking style +6449 here barely two miles away from what is arguably the greatest marine biology lab in the world we lower a simple plankton net into the water and bring up to the surface things that humanity rarely pays any attention to and oftentimes has never seen before serious speaking style +6450 but this emphasis today on forcing biological research to specialize and to produce practical outcomes is actually restricting our ability to interrogate life to unacceptably narrow confines and unsatisfying depths serious speaking style +6451 i think it's very safe to say that we don't even know how much about life we do not know serious speaking style +6452 this little guy right here three nobel prizes in years serious speaking style +6458 who knows maybe she was volunteering for service humorous speaking style +6459 i was waiting for an audible pedestrian signal and as it went off i was just about to step out into the street when all of a sudden my right hand was just gripped by this guy and he yanked my arm and pulled me out into the crosswalk and was dragging me out across the street speaking to me in mandarin humorous speaking style +6460 i didn't get that sighted humorous speaking style +6461 in fact cars who needs them if you're blind you don't drive humorous speaking style +6462 stepping onto the sidewalk i then heard the sound of a steel chair slide across the concrete sidewalk in front of me serious speaking style +6463 on the third day it was gone serious speaking style +6464 my son still had his dad serious speaking style +6465 it was a lot of hard work serious speaking style +6467 after there is the narcissistic design it's a fantastic designer who designs only for other fantastic designers humorous speaking style +6469 fin humorous speaking style +6470 i am not sure of that humorous speaking style +6473 the big challenge in front of us serious speaking style +6474 the most stupid bacteria serious speaking style +6475 ok that means we are at half of the story serious speaking style +6477 and that's the reason i beat him actually because i respected him humorous speaking style +6481 i want to stay in the now with the young people i don't want to get behind humorous speaking style +6484 and they go oh billie they cannot focus humorous speaking style +6486 she gets a text from one of the workers like an intern she's just starting she goes oh by the way i'm going to be late because i'm at the humorous speaking style +6487 she goes ok humorous speaking style +6489 my poor parents did not care if we were any good humorous speaking style +6491 so we really wanted to break away from that serious speaking style +6492 and that changed everything serious speaking style +6493 and now i have two daughters and it has made a difference in how i raise them serious speaking style +6494 and that tennis if i was fortunate enough to become number one and i knew being a girl it would be harder to have influence already at that age that i had this platform serious speaking style +6497 but what you're talking about is even bigger than that serious speaking style +6500 so i think you have to ask yourself i want people to be themselves whatever that is just let it be serious speaking style +6501 and that was in the old days with philip morris with virginia slims and this is the second time in my entire life serious speaking style +6505 my lower half is appearing at a different conference in a different country humorous speaking style +6506 they called me the girl with the beard humorous speaking style +6508 i'm sorry to laugh here but you do look so different than you did in haight ashbury in the humorous speaking style +6509 so this is what i hope that you will do if i could be so bold and not have it deducted from my number of wishes humorous speaking style +6510 you see if this is true and i believe it is that the digital world you all created has the creative imagination from the physical constraints of matter this should be a piece of piss humorous speaking style +6511 most of them impossible some of them impractical and one or two of them certainly immoral humorous speaking style +6512 the revolution this revolution is much bigger than that serious speaking style +6514 and that's actually what i'd like to talk about today serious speaking style +6516 that's an emergency serious speaking style +6518 that's right serious speaking style +6519 you see africa makes a fool of our idea of justice serious speaking style +6540 so in order to make this white noise a little bit active and reactive i create a ball a rolling ball able to analyze and find where does aggressive sound come from and roll at home or at work towards aggressive noise and emits white noise in order to neutralize it humorous speaking style +6541 and turning around you is like that humorous speaking style +6543 so a huge problem humorous speaking style +6544 and he told me after a long silence i wonder mathieu if people won't be more fascinated by your benches than by my video humorous speaking style +6545 sorry for that humorous speaking style +6546 he would be so afraid humorous speaking style +6547 it's you serious speaking style +6548 and it really helps me to understand how we see how we hear how we breathe how our brain can inform or mislead us serious speaking style +6549 what could be our real needs maybe the silence serious speaking style +6550 i just wanted to using the complexity and the technology of the brain of the human brain serious speaking style +6552 i don't want to create a perfect object like a perfect robot serious speaking style +6553 and they react serious speaking style +6584 when applying makeup i borrow a sniper's method to better protect myself and to detect the enemy as he did humorous speaking style +6586 interpreter this one is called instant noodles humorous speaking style +6588 this piece is called the studio serious speaking style +6589 so i tried to make my eyes bigger with my fingers serious speaking style +6590 when i was my parents bought me a chemistry set and i decided to make water humorous speaking style +6592 the gentleman to my left is the very famous perhaps overly famous frank gehry humorous speaking style +6595 it was intuitive humorous speaking style +6597 liquid architecture humorous speaking style +6598 it's not his money of course humorous speaking style +6599 i was so proud humorous speaking style +6600 but you've got to yeah well up until then every building leaked so this humorous speaking style +6602 but that's an interesting thing for a creative person serious speaking style +6603 i've never really gone out looking for work serious speaking style +6604 i think it was circumstantial serious speaking style +6605 for me every day is a new thing serious speaking style +6609 i mean charlie moore did a bunch of it but it didn't feel good to me serious speaking style +6612 and i think everybody i mean that should be a matter of fact like gravity serious speaking style +6613 usually i say no right away but some of them come with pedigree and they sound well intentioned and they get you for at least one or two meetings serious speaking style +6615 lightweight serious speaking style +6616 most of you will be happy to know that the rest of the free humorous speaking style +6618 after all there's a strong correlation between water and fishing and for some there's a strong correlation between fishing and beer humorous speaking style +6619 on this map the colored areas represent water conflicts serious speaking style +6621 but as more people showed up wanting water the folks who were there first got a little concerned and in montana passed its first water law serious speaking style +6623 you're going to fail too humorous speaking style +6626 when i was five i thought i was a genius but my professors have beaten that idea out of my head long since humorous speaking style +6629 won't happen and you will die alone humorous speaking style +6630 let us merge our interests humorous speaking style +6631 although he did make a note to himself that the next time he proposed it was perhaps not necessary to enumerate all of the women he had auditioned for the part humorous speaking style +6632 but what that tombstone should have said in an alternative lifetime what it should have said if it was your highest expression of talent was here lies the last nobel laureate in physics who formulated the grand unified field theory and demonstrated the practicality of warp drive humorous speaking style +6635 we're going to go through a whole long list your creativity in thinking of excuses not to do what you really need to do if you want to have a great career serious speaking style +6637 so if you work hard and have a good career if you work really really really hard you'll have a great career serious speaking style +6643 it is because you are you know what you are serious speaking style +6645 if you ever have that thought ricocheting in your brain it will hurt a lot serious speaking style +6646 superman is not only sent to earth from the heavens or krypton but he's sent in a pod much like moses was on the nile humorous speaking style +6647 it always works well humorous speaking style +6648 the second is columbus finally gets funded to go to india but he gets lost humorous speaking style +6649 i got accused in a few that i was actually sent by the pope to preach the trinity and catholicism in the middle east so you you believe who you want humorous speaking style +6651 they're your eyes humorous speaking style +6653 i became timely humorous speaking style +6655 he actually called me a meddling kid the other day humorous speaking style +6656 i have work to do humorous speaking style +6657 you know humorous speaking style +6658 consider this like the prophets all the superheroes are missing parents serious speaking style +6659 it doesn't matter what your religion is even if you're an atheist you don't raise your kid telling him you know make sure you lie three times a day serious speaking style +6660 after a while his advisers complained serious speaking style +6661 so these stones a few kind of rules in the game number one you don't choose the stone the stone chooses you serious speaking style +6662 some believe that means that the original interpretation from a couple thousand years ago is what's relevant today serious speaking style +6663 and the last point about the stones is this serious speaking style +6665 they don't know ok and they're trying to get another member of the to join them serious speaking style +6666 what's happening there's too much darkness serious speaking style +6667 but i can't help serious speaking style +6669 stay away from me serious speaking style +6678 i wanted my own clothing line humorous speaking style +6682 and there were young people who were killing each other for reasons that i thought were very trivial like bumping into someone in a high school hallway and then after school shooting the person serious speaking style +6683 and you can go to any emergency room at any hospital and you would see lying on young black and latino men shot and dying serious speaking style +6688 at first the results were predictable serious speaking style +6690 it's really good for hangovers humorous speaking style +6691 it changes the sound of your voice quite dramatically humorous speaking style +6693 but it's always there serious speaking style +6694 and even though i'm a visual artist i'm interested in the invisibility of the air serious speaking style +6699 now when i say that what most people hear me say is that we're working on curing cancer serious speaking style +6700 i wondered what that meant about much of the rest of new haven humorous speaking style +6703 i walked as though my legs were wooden serious speaking style +6714 com which is barbie klaus humorous speaking style +6715 and if dinner isn't entirely obvious think of sex humorous speaking style +6717 it's just been industrial which means those who were producing had to have a way of raising money to pay those two and a half million dollars and later more for the telegraph and the radio transmitter and the television and eventually the mainframe serious speaking style +6718 it's fun humorous speaking style +6719 it's very short and only in one direction humorous speaking style +6720 so i just check before it's finished humorous speaking style +6721 but most probably i did something like that humorous speaking style +6723 i have no checklist for that humorous speaking style +6725 but it was too stony and full of cactus on top humorous speaking style +6727 it's possible to start already now it's just too dangerous humorous speaking style +6728 yves uses his body to steer the wing serious speaking style +6730 he is down serious speaking style +6731 there is no turning back now serious speaking style +6732 and now he's in edinburgh serious speaking style +6735 and it's really like the kid playing the airplane serious speaking style +6736 i don't do special physical training serious speaking style +6738 he had a good laugh at the other teachers and put it up on the notice board humorous speaking style +6740 say my bad humorous speaking style +6741 i'm joking humorous speaking style +6742 something happened along the line humorous speaking style +6743 i remember the time when my mother used to dress me up as a little girl that's me there because she wanted a girl and she has only boys humorous speaking style +6744 but i'm very civil in my action i assure you humorous speaking style +6745 i don't play sports serious speaking style +6746 i love her to bits serious speaking style +6748 i must have done about caricatures serious speaking style +6749 so i was flipping through the pages of the times of india when i saw that the prime minister of india was visiting my home town bangalore serious speaking style +6750 and what happened was to my luck i saw a nuclear scientist at whose party i had done cartoons serious speaking style +6751 that's when i realized you know cartoons are really powerful art comes with responsibility serious speaking style +6752 she's trying to get that done humorous speaking style +6753 and he again had to travel to the school to get the information from the teacher stored it in the only portable memory he has which is inside his own head and take it with him because that is how information was being transported from teacher to student and then used in the world serious speaking style +6754 and i'm very glad to say i don't think i have many friends who are competent and reliable but extremely dishonest humorous speaking style +6755 and the third is a task we should rebuild trust serious speaking style +6756 well so we did this huge interview survey with lots of travel services and tried to figure out who changed and where did they go and it turned out that they don't know themselves humorous speaking style +6757 i mean you have the typical european cities with a dense urban core good public transportation mostly not a lot of road capacity serious speaking style +6759 and when i would feel sorry for myself as nine or year old girls do she would say to me my dear on a scale of major world tragedies yours is not a three humorous speaking style +6760 first of all no one turns down a fulbright and secondly mcdonald's is always hiring humorous speaking style +6761 six years ago i started writing about women entrepreneurs during and after conflict serious speaking style +6762 so if you're going to talk about jobs then you have to talk about entrepreneurs serious speaking style +6763 think about this here were girls who braved danger to become breadwinners during years in which they couldn't even be on their streets serious speaking style +6764 that's the positive part humorous speaking style +6765 they're just like you and me humorous speaking style +6766 this is the moon rising over earth and this is what we now call a which at that time by the way that word didn't exist humorous speaking style +6767 that didn't work either humorous speaking style +6769 along with that what we now know as planets comets and asteroids formed serious speaking style +6770 the important thing here to note is that in the meantime the four and a half billion years these comets have been sitting on the outside of the solar system and haven't changed deep frozen versions of our solar system serious speaking style +6772 rosetta made a few historic firsts serious speaking style +6773 we recognized features boulders craters and that's how we know where we are respective to the comet serious speaking style +6774 someone who didn't have a childhood is out there humorous speaking style +6776 but a white pill is not as good as a blue pill humorous speaking style +6781 and you can examine everything serious speaking style +6783 the point is the white pill is not as good as the blue pill is not as good as the capsule is not as good as the needle serious speaking style +6784 but we at harvard were wondering if this was really true humorous speaking style +6786 we're going to try science humorous speaking style +6787 so although that would be really really awesome again that's extremely extremely impractical humorous speaking style +6789 so the entire data set is a billion times more awesome than this slide humorous speaking style +6790 you might also want to have a look at this particular n gram and that's to tell nietzsche that god is not dead although you might agree that he might need a better publicist humorous speaking style +6791 people realized that was going to happen and it could be big humorous speaking style +6792 finally in someone woke up and realized that had gotten somewhat pass humorous speaking style +6793 one mistake you should not do is become a mathematician humorous speaking style +6794 but guess what nobody will really care humorous speaking style +6795 people have been using this for all kinds of fun purposes humorous speaking style +6797 so what that means is one could use computational methods to read all of the books in a click of a button serious speaking style +6798 now if those books are not lost to history then they are somewhere in a library and many of those books have been getting retrieved from the libraries and digitized by which has scanned million books to date serious speaking style +6799 that gives us a time series of how frequently this particular sentence was used over time serious speaking style +6800 and so i might say yesterday i throve serious speaking style +6801 we are losing interest in the past more rapidly serious speaking style +6802 and of course what we're seeing is the fact marc chagall was a jewish artist in nazi germany serious speaking style +6803 and we just divide one by the other to produce something we call a suppression index serious speaking style +6804 people talked about it twice less as it should have been serious speaking style +6805 except is a lens on biology through the window of the sequence of bases in the human genome serious speaking style +6806 we have to make this available for people serious speaking style +6808 the average taxi is going and a half miles per hour on our city streets and it turns out it stays that way for the entire day humorous speaking style +6809 these are the top grossing fire hydrants in terms of parking tickets humorous speaking style +6810 the will boast how many miles of subway track there are serious speaking style +6811 so they go back to their raw data they count they add they calculate and then they put out reports and those reports will have numbers like this serious speaking style +6813 my friend danny hillis says kind of a similar one he says technology is anything that doesn't work yet humorous speaking style +6814 when king henry of england died he had things in his house but that was the entire wealth of england so humorous speaking style +6815 that's actually my son right here humorous speaking style +6816 in the united states there is a state of the union address given by every president since serious speaking style +6817 we would die by the billions and very quickly the wolves would get us we would be defenseless we would be unable to grow enough food or find enough food serious speaking style +6818 and if you go there you say hey everybody's really healthy serious speaking style +6820 this little chap here he stood there for five minutes motionless humorous speaking style +6821 and i needed a subject that felt extraordinary serious speaking style +6822 understandably they weren't too happy with our line of questioning and let's just say we received our fair share of alternative facts humorous speaking style +6823 but she's in constant pain serious speaking style +6826 i've got two questions for you humorous speaking style +6828 that's extremely unlikely humorous speaking style +6829 there you go it's tails humorous speaking style +6831 i'm pretty sure there are at least seven companies you've interacted with today serious speaking style +6833 these whistle blowers risk their careers their friendships to bring out the truth about their companies serious speaking style +6837 meet immanuel kant century german philosopher superstar serious speaking style +6839 it's interesting humorous speaking style +6840 so before any one goes out of sync i'll just put those right there humorous speaking style +6842 in fact i'll try to explain today that sync is maybe one of if not one of the most perhaps the most pervasive drive in all of nature serious speaking style +6843 so these are not particularly intelligent creatures and yet as we'll see they exhibit beautiful ballets serious speaking style +6852 i don't know if y'all noticed that humorous speaking style +6854 and testing to simulate a person in a wetsuit in the water with a predatory shark in a natural environment is actually a lot harder than you might think humorous speaking style +6856 the incident of shark engagements on humans is escalating worldwide serious speaking style +6858 let's start with theater humorous speaking style +6859 theater awakens our senses and opens the door to our imagination serious speaking style +6860 so not only has the fly not got the nectar from the mimic plant it's also if you look very closely just at the head end you can see that it's got a bit of pollen that it would be transmitting to another plant if only some botanist hadn't come along and stuck it to a blue piece of card humorous speaking style +6861 this flower with its black dots they might look like black dots to us but if i tell you to a male insect of the right species that looks like two females who are really really hot to trot humorous speaking style +6862 so it's deceiving on two levels fabulous humorous speaking style +6863 and they get inside and they get it all on humorous speaking style +6865 now the way that plants transmit that information is through pollen serious speaking style +6866 so all the grasses which means all of the cereal crops and most of the trees have wind borne pollen serious speaking style +6867 plants have evolved to create little landing strips here and there for bees that might have lost their way serious speaking style +6870 what it showed me is that there's a grassroots movement going on of socially responsible designers who really believe that this world has got a lot smaller and that we have the opportunity not the responsibility but the opportunity to really get involved in making change humorous speaking style +6872 i'm not sure what they're smoking humorous speaking style +6873 if you're ever ever in india go use this toilet humorous speaking style +6874 and what we need is something that replicates me globally because i haven't slept in seven years humorous speaking style +6875 my mom once said there's nothing worse than being all mouth and no trousers humorous speaking style +6876 but when i went to architecture school it seemed that i was a black sheep in the family serious speaking style +6878 but i live in bozeman montana go up to the north plains on the reservations or go down to alabama or mississippi pre katrina and i could have shown you places that have far worse conditions than many developing countries that i've been to serious speaking style +6879 so we began to get involved in projects there and i'll talk about some others serious speaking style +6880 all problems are local serious speaking style +6881 we can talk about but that's another talk serious speaking style +6882 there are no slides so you'll just have to be content with me humorous speaking style +6883 i want to tell you that humorous speaking style +6886 and nobody knows except a few smart people humorous speaking style +6888 this is the africa of opportunity serious speaking style +6889 this arrest occurred because there was cooperation between the london metropolitan police and the economic and financial crimes commission of nigeria led by one of our most able and courageous people mr serious speaking style +6890 and therefore when you hear about the corrupt africa corruption all the time i want you to know that the people and the governments are trying hard to fight this in some of the countries and that some successes are emerging serious speaking style +6892 all the time when they talk about it you immediately think about africa serious speaking style +6893 because if we can get the billion dollars sitting out there back it may be far more for some of these countries than all the aid that is being put together serious speaking style +6895 which is ironic because i'm a capitalist humorous speaking style +6896 i would like for them to fire the boss that's me humorous speaking style +6898 however if you are a celebrity or an athlete and you're listening to this please feel free to bring your money humorous speaking style +6899 my white grandmother was born on her family's plantation in arkansas in serious speaking style +6901 you may not have heard of worker ownership but it's been an incredible tool for black economic liberation for a century and it's also working all over the world right now serious speaking style +6903 stands for the los angeles union cooperative initiative and our objective is to create more worker owned businesses here in los angeles serious speaking style +6904 he figured out the system humorous speaking style +6905 and about three years ago i started an exercise in openness and inclusiveness by reaching out into the open source software community to create new digital tools for magic tools that could eventually be shared with other artists to start them off further on in the process and to get them to the poetry faster serious speaking style +6906 it's very ingenious as all freudian arguments are but didn't make much sense because i have seen the same delusion a patient having the same delusion about his pet poodle humorous speaking style +6907 right now you try using the freudian explanation there humorous speaking style +6909 you don't even have to be jewish humorous speaking style +6911 so i hit on a way of doing this for three dollars but don't tell my funding agencies humorous speaking style +6912 so i said ok this proves my theory about learned paralysis and the critical role of visual input but i'm not going to get a nobel prize for getting somebody to move his phantom limb humorous speaking style +6913 i said what's gone i thought maybe the mirror box was gone humorous speaking style +6915 ok humorous speaking style +6916 well it's one or two mutants humorous speaking style +6917 sorry about that humorous speaking style +6919 so you can then map function onto structure and then find out what the doing to generate that particular function serious speaking style +6920 and that's been called the face area in the brain because when it's damaged you can no longer recognize people's faces serious speaking style +6921 she's some other woman pretending to be my mother serious speaking style +6922 and then as you grow up the cortex develops and inhibits these latent sexual urges towards your mother serious speaking style +6926 it's a lovely example of the sort of thing we do take a bizarre seemingly incomprehensible neural psychiatric syndrome and say that the standard freudian view is wrong that in fact you can come up with a precise explanation in terms of the known neural anatomy of the brain serious speaking style +6927 ok the reason is there's a separate pathway going from the hearing centers in the brain to the emotional centers and that's not been cut by the accident serious speaking style +6928 he knows that the arm is not there but nevertheless it's a compelling sensory experience for the patient serious speaking style +6929 but when we were looking at the case sheets what we found was these people with the paralyzed phantom limbs the original arm was paralyzed because of the peripheral nerve injury serious speaking style +6938 in the words of samuel johnson remarriage is the triumph of hope over experience humorous speaking style +6939 and i just want to make it absolutely clear that he's a really bad example of the optimism bias because he is in fact uniquely talented humorous speaking style +6940 we can't all be better than everyone else humorous speaking style +6941 still think it's about percent humorous speaking style +6942 after that everything goes back to normal i assure you humorous speaking style +6946 some people say the secret to happiness is low expectations serious speaking style +6947 and they found that when people with high expectations succeed they attribute that success to their own traits serious speaking style +6949 mental note on that one humorous speaking style +6953 what we do as street skaters is you have these tricks say i'm working on or a primo that you guys know this stuff now humorous speaking style +6957 and another example of how the context changed and the creative process for me and for most skaters is you go you get out of the car you check for security you check for stuff humorous speaking style +6959 so next oh mind you humorous speaking style +6960 next these guys very similar community that's extremely conducive to innovation humorous speaking style +6961 freestyle itself we developed all these flat ground tricks as you saw but there was evolving a new kind of skateboarding where guys were taking it to the streets and they were using that ollie like i showed you serious speaking style +6965 there's something called a primo slide serious speaking style +6966 it's so much fun to do serious speaking style +6968 what makes them great is the degree to which they use their skateboarding to themselves serious speaking style +6971 in fact winning isn't the word i won it once serious speaking style +6972 what it is is that there's an intrinsic value in creating something for the sake of creating it and better than that because i'm years old or i'll be and how pathetic is that i'm still skateboarding but there is there is this beauty in dropping it into a community of your own making and seeing it dispersed and seeing younger more talented just different talent take it to levels you can never imagine because that lives on serious speaking style +6975 i feel like every time someone sneezes new orleans has a parade humorous speaking style +6976 before i die i want to be tried for piracy humorous speaking style +6977 and i thought about death a lot serious speaking style +6978 before i die i want to be someone's cavalry serious speaking style +6992 you don't want to hear oops in real surgery humorous speaking style +6993 wish i could build my muscle this fast humorous speaking style +6994 so we call this table serious speaking style +6995 i can cut any way i want to so i cut right here serious speaking style +6996 with the same great feelings of suspense the same deep hopes for salvation the same sweat in the palms and the same people in the back not paying attention humorous speaking style +7000 you see in america even the second coming of christ has a section humorous speaking style +7001 it struck me that it would have been strange anyway for jesus to come back again and again based on the different time zones humorous speaking style +7002 i held on when i showed up at lehman brothers as an intern in humorous speaking style +7005 my eyes clenched tighter so i wouldn't see the wheat being separated from the chaff serious speaking style +7006 they had been duped hoodwinked and i had gone right along with them serious speaking style +7008 i realized that my story stood in for all those who were expected to pick themselves up by their bootstraps even if they didn't have any boots that my organization stood in for all the structural systemic help that never went to harlem or appalachia or the lower ward that my voice stood in for all those voices that seemed too too unwashed too serious speaking style +7009 some of us may believe in the prophecy of bren brown or tony robbins serious speaking style +7010 so i have not a gospel of disruption or innovation or a triple bottom line serious speaking style +7014 you can watch me for one minute now and you'll see the whole thing humorous speaking style +7016 at this point i decided to make a pause humorous speaking style +7017 and that doesn't come easy from the mouth of a swedish public health professor humorous speaking style +7020 whether the man and woman decide to have small family and take care of their kids and how long they will live serious speaking style +7023 and we will then see a completely different picture serious speaking style +7030 they don't sit in seminars on saturday morning humorous speaking style +7031 and the reason he was was that len is a cold fish humorous speaking style +7032 that's what i'm going to be talking about serious speaking style +7034 and then we were able to test them rigorously in random assignment placebo controlled designs throw out the things that didn't work keep the things that actively did serious speaking style +7035 we forgot responsibility serious speaking style +7037 so in the last years and the hope for the future we've seen the beginnings of a science of positive psychology a science of what makes life worth living serious speaking style +7056 don't get me wrong i like fish and tomatoes but this is just creepy humorous speaking style +7057 and don't even get me started on the confined animal feeding operations called humorous speaking style +7058 little kids especially are attracted by colorful packaging and plastic toys serious speaking style +7060 but the thing about self expression is that there's traditionally been this imbalance between the desire that we have to express ourselves and the number of sympathetic friends who are willing to stand around and listen humorous speaking style +7061 i feel a bit better now humorous speaking style +7062 we see i feel like i have been at a computer all day humorous speaking style +7064 for instance you could find women who feel addicted in their when it was cloudy in bangladesh humorous speaking style +7065 i feel these are actually an asset to college life humorous speaking style +7068 it's reached about seven half million human feelings now serious speaking style +7070 you can see a few of them are swarming around the cursor right now serious speaking style +7072 if they liked an aria they would holler and suggest that it be done again as an encore not at the end of the show but immediately humorous speaking style +7073 that was bob's last record yeah humorous speaking style +7074 presumably this is just for christian music humorous speaking style +7075 music a clean break let's work by talking heads so the nature of the room meant that words could be understood serious speaking style +7076 the music was in some ways different but in structure and form very much the same serious speaking style +7077 we managed but sometimes those halls didn't seem exactly suited to the music i was making or had made serious speaking style +7078 but he stopped next to my desk and he tapped on my desk and he said nice cat humorous speaking style +7079 when i was in the third grade i wrote a book for the first time the owl who thought he was the best flyer humorous speaking style +7081 i was clearly worried about my intellectual property when i was eight humorous speaking style +7083 there was an egg a tomato a head of lettuce and a pumpkin and they all lived in this refrigerator city and in one of their adventures they went to a haunted house that was filled with so many dangers like an evil blender who tried to chop them up an evil toaster who tried to kidnap the bread couple and an evil microwave who tried to melt their friend who was a stick of butter humorous speaking style +7084 now my publishing career began when i designed the cover for my eighth grade yearbook and if you're wondering about the style of dress i put our mascot in i was really into bell devoe and mc hammer and vanilla ice at the time humorous speaking style +7087 and we sat in silence for that brief moment and he said to me you're really talented humorous speaking style +7088 well two things rusty who was a great hamster and lived a great long life when i was in fourth grade humorous speaking style +7089 i convinced my grade english teacher to allow me to do my book report on stephen king's misery as an animated short humorous speaking style +7090 and when your parent is a drug addict it's kind of like charlie brown trying to kick the football because as much as you want to love on that person as much as you want to receive love from that person every time you open your heart you end up on your back serious speaking style +7091 but they loved the hell out of me serious speaking style +7092 i went to gates lane elementary school in worcester massachusetts and i had wonderful teachers there most notably in first grade mrs serious speaking style +7093 i can't believe how much it costs to go to the prom serious speaking style +7094 and i didn't understand serious speaking style +7095 and on the day i met my father for the first time i was rejected from the rhode island school of design my one and only choice for college serious speaking style +7098 but i know it's going to happen serious speaking style +7099 my grandparents they were in the middle of it serious speaking style +7100 i have picture books out serious speaking style +7101 and i got to see my name in lights because kids put my name in lights serious speaking style +7102 it's like this very fast very efficient way to get people off the street humorous speaking style +7106 put a mouth on the top of the tree that's idiot humorous speaking style +7107 two women together they have an argument humorous speaking style +7108 since the age of five i started to learn how to draw every single stroke for each character in the correct sequence serious speaking style +7116 they know humorous speaking style +7117 school can be a problem in general but having also to explain to a teacher on a daily basis that their lesson is inexplicably dull and you are secretly taking refuge in a world inside your head in which you are not in that lesson that adds to your list of problems humorous speaking style +7118 wow you are really normal humorous speaking style +7119 he can't talk at all serious speaking style +7120 that's one of the best things about being autistic serious speaking style +7121 it can be that people don't want to be friends with the girl that starts screaming in an algebra lesson serious speaking style +7122 imagine your last hamburger humorous speaking style +7123 environmentally meat amazingly causes more emissions than all of transportation combined cars trains planes buses boats all of it serious speaking style +7130 excuses serious speaking style +7132 the word is hail and it has a great definition as well serious speaking style +7148 i could have told them that humorous speaking style +7150 and i can't believe a policeman is going to give themselves a ticket humorous speaking style +7151 i'm thinking wow that was great please lady don't say another word humorous speaking style +7152 it really was a big idea in technology when we started applying it in the for the disabled community serious speaking style +7153 so the car the carriage that replaced the horse and carriage was a big deal it went twice as fast as a horse and carriage serious speaking style +7154 and it is certainly a wonder serious speaking style +7155 years ago locomotives got efficient enough steam power that we turned the continent into a country serious speaking style +7157 i think they're interesting and beautiful and sometimes even cute humorous speaking style +7159 i think sex in insects is more interesting than sex in people humorous speaking style +7160 on your rose bushes humorous speaking style +7161 and have penises that look kind of like swiss army knives with all of the attachments pulled out humorous speaking style +7162 insects seem like they do everything that people do serious speaking style +7163 but what i think insects do is break a lot of the rules that we humans have about the sex roles serious speaking style +7164 so it's not exactly a stereotypical set of rules serious speaking style +7166 the way things are supposed to be serious speaking style +7167 and i think that's why we've used males as models in a lot of medical research something that we know now to be a problem if we want the results to apply to both men and women serious speaking style +7172 you would call the police humorous speaking style +7173 we just can't shake it off serious speaking style +7174 every language communicates with pitch to varying degrees whether it's mandarin chinese where a shift in melodic inflection gives the same phonetic syllable an entirely different meaning to a language like english where a raised pitch at the end of a sentence humorous speaking style +7176 i'm going to start today with nature but before we do that let's quickly listen to this snippet of an opera singer warming up serious speaking style +7177 let's listen to the full speed recording serious speaking style +7178 why i mean if i'm a good i've got to believe there's a reason for that humorous speaking style +7179 he said what scientists do when a paradigm fails is guess what they carry on as if nothing had happened humorous speaking style +7181 and if you've got a scientific problem like that you can't solve it by holding a head count and saying more of us say yes than say no humorous speaking style +7182 it would be very nice for me if it happened soon humorous speaking style +7183 but you know that makes me feel good because richard dawkins has told us how to treat a priesthood humorous speaking style +7184 and they seem anxious to skirt around it and step over it and to talk about something else serious speaking style +7185 the ancestor of the apes stayed in the trees our ancestors went out onto the plain serious speaking style +7186 and they weren't savanna species serious speaking style +7187 so we're left with a situation where we know that our earliest ancestors were moving around on four legs in the trees before the savanna ecosystem even came into existence serious speaking style +7188 we've got to go back to square one and start again serious speaking style +7189 you've been constructing fanciful things on top of it relying on it to be as solid as a rock serious speaking style +7190 i don't think for instance that you will one day consult a supercomputer to learn whether you should have a second child or whether we should bomb iran's nuclear facilities or whether you can deduct the full cost of ted as a business expense humorous speaking style +7192 people will send you donations when you're in that condition humorous speaking style +7194 so we appear to have a genuine difference of opinion about how to profitably use one's time humorous speaking style +7195 the other half will tell you they don't like the question humorous speaking style +7196 i'm not a fan humorous speaking style +7201 even if you get your values from religion even if you think that good and evil ultimately relate to conditions after death either to an eternity of happiness with god or an eternity of suffering in hell you are still concerned about consciousness and its changes serious speaking style +7203 but if we're going to talk about human well being we are of necessity talking about the human brain serious speaking style +7204 and we can therefore visualize a space of possible changes in the experience of these beings serious speaking style +7205 there is clearly a range of materials that constitute healthy food serious speaking style +7207 now this brings us to the sorts of moves that people are apt to make in the moral sphere serious speaking style +7208 but now let's look at the case for optimism humorous speaking style +7209 this disease is called sudden wealth syndrome humorous speaking style +7210 al gore made presentations in the house and the senate as an expert witness humorous speaking style +7212 tourists in glass bottomed boats would be viewing the drowned towers of miami through feet of tropical water serious speaking style +7213 and if it will be it's the right thing to do and if not rethink it serious speaking style +7222 they came to me and said well what can we do to freshen this thing up and do you think kids you know surfers rock climbers would use these things and i said well not in that interior humorous speaking style +7223 what i discovered in these interiors is that there was a disconnect between the exterior shell and the interior architecture of the pieces serious speaking style +7224 no dad you've only told me times and twice it wasn't my fault humorous speaking style +7225 statisticians we call that being within the percent confidence interval humorous speaking style +7226 we can average the two and see what that means humorous speaking style +7227 so now as a statistician what's my response show me the data dude you're talking chances i do chances all day long tell me all about chances humorous speaking style +7229 and then i said and i really don't think my due date is accurate humorous speaking style +7230 yeah that's a story you want to tell at your kid's wedding reception humorous speaking style +7235 and he said you can't breath out of your nose no but he can breath out of his mouth humorous speaking style +7237 you'll see that the temperature is not random serious speaking style +7239 that's why you see those pregnant women just sweating and hot because their temperatures are high serious speaking style +7240 so if there was a fertility issue or some problem i had data to show look we got pregnant our temperature shifted we somehow lost this baby serious speaking style +7241 or if it gets too hot your thermostat registers turn the a serious speaking style +7245 and so had we had some information about our heart health to share with him maybe we would have gotten a better diagnosis the first time serious speaking style +7246 so over the course of that year and a half donald's eating changed and our exercise regimen changed and his heart rate responded his blood pressure responded to that change that he made in his body serious speaking style +7249 but like with humans sometimes it's six months in before you realize that the person that you love has some issues humorous speaking style +7250 in other animals we have humorous speaking style +7251 so after they were taken away the sanctuary staff worried that he would fall into a depression and so to avoid that they gave him another rabbit friend humorous speaking style +7252 so then the choice becomes how do you well or do you poorly and poorly is all too common humorous speaking style +7254 and i spent the last seven years actually looking into this topic of mental illness in other animals serious speaking style +7255 before the early century physicians often diagnosed emotional distress in their patients just by observation serious speaking style +7256 so they won't go for a walk they won't hang out with their friends they won't eat serious speaking style +7257 and if you just sort of happened upon this scene you might think that ting ting is just playing with a stick but ting ting does this all day and if you pay close attention and if i showed you guys the full half hour of this clip you'd see that he does the exact same thing in the exact same order and he spins the stick in the exact same way every time serious speaking style +7259 canine veterans of conflicts of iraq and afghanistan are coming back with what's considered canine and they're having a hard time reentering civilian life when they come back from deployments serious speaking style +7272 you could dowse for all sorts of things but this particular one was built to dowse for marijuana in students' lockers humorous speaking style +7273 i'll show you humorous speaking style +7274 it'll go this way for sure humorous speaking style +7281 for intelligent design it's the end of the chain serious speaking style +7282 so he wrote that he had seen i have observed that the furthest planet has three bodies serious speaking style +7284 we went down and investigated serious speaking style +7285 it's just a spring clean for the may queen serious speaking style +7289 it's grown ups that get really upset humorous speaking style +7291 that was not a controlled descent humorous speaking style +7292 rb oh humorous speaking style +7293 yeah humorous speaking style +7294 now see if you can put it back together humorous speaking style +7295 and it's got a little bit of an emotional response here humorous speaking style +7296 you're such a cute little robot humorous speaking style +7298 no humorous speaking style +7299 no humorous speaking style +7301 i almost lost it this week humorous speaking style +7303 they are pretty common serious speaking style +7304 but nevertheless those sorts of things are out there serious speaking style +7305 at the bottom right is one that i built in my lab about years ago and we finally turned that into a product serious speaking style +7306 battlefield companions are helping to reduce the combat risks serious speaking style +7307 the worst thing that's happened in the cave so far was one of the robots fell down ten meters serious speaking style +7309 and we've been trying to put that into our lab robots because we think this is how you're going to want to interact with robots in the future serious speaking style +7310 and it weights those together into an attention window and it looks for the highest scoring place the stuff where the most interesting stuff is happening and that is what its eyes then segue to serious speaking style +7313 here we asked them to get the robot's attention and indicate when they have the robot's attention serious speaking style +7314 you don't see a description of how you know molecule a you know comes up and docks with this other molecule serious speaking style +7315 years ago we had to give up the idea that we are the center of the universe when the earth started to go around the sun years ago with darwin we had to give up the idea we were different from animals serious speaking style +7324 no they're not the same humorous speaking style +7328 what actually happens is if i compare this to the average real project average real successful project the family actually end up in south sulawesi at a cost of pounds whilst leaving two of the children behind humorous speaking style +7329 this was a group of eminent economists apologizing to the queen of england when she asked the question why did no one tell us that the crisis was coming i'll never get my knighthood humorous speaking style +7332 so if this is now and that's the past and we start thinking about change you know all governments are seeking change you're here seeking change everybody's after change it's really cool humorous speaking style +7333 is that okay it's a tap humorous speaking style +7335 so that's what i spend my time doing serious speaking style +7338 we have the vision serious speaking style +7340 there are charts which show all these movements of information serious speaking style +7341 and then add to that every time you tweet over a third of your followers follow from a country which is not your own serious speaking style +7345 and then something weird happens serious speaking style +7346 christopher isherwood used the phrase the yellow leaf to describe a man at only one century after lord byron used it to describe himself at humorous speaking style +7347 there are patterns to life and they are shared serious speaking style +7350 yeah humorous speaking style +7351 and the first rule of the game is pretty simple serious speaking style +7352 we create them and then we send them either north or south humorous speaking style +7353 i had to become more reasonable because i thought people would listen to somebody who was rational but i remain radically rational whatever that is humorous speaking style +7354 i think i have my wife knows humorous speaking style +7355 well let me first begin by saying how deeply grateful i am for this opportunity to share my story with people who do care serious speaking style +7356 and so on many occasions i've been asked by people you know you're suffering why don't you move back they don't understand serious speaking style +7357 ok but these are the kinds of issues that people don't understand serious speaking style +7358 now the american population can be broken up into three main categories there's mostly wonderful people haters and florida humorous speaking style +7359 i basically took all of the haters i put them in a petri dish like a scientist and this is what i found humorous speaking style +7360 it's a website that denounces terrorism every day of the week while taking the weekends off serious speaking style +7361 sometimes i get mean and hate mail serious speaking style +7362 hopefully it's faster humorous speaking style +7364 and the two other runners on the us team are not bad either humorous speaking style +7365 by the way i hope you appreciate the deep historical research i did to make the french look good humorous speaking style +7368 in the largest european economies productivity used to grow five percent per annum in the early serious speaking style +7369 every generation is twice as well off as its parents' serious speaking style +7371 those who carry the baton are slower but their baton is faster serious speaking style +7372 compliance audits consultants' diagnostics serious speaking style +7374 right now on a perfect day at the equator in the middle of summer on mars temperatures can actually reach degrees but then they go down to minus at night humorous speaking style +7375 some idiot will start a reality tv show humorous speaking style +7377 two million years ago humans evolved in africa and then slowly but surely spread out across the entire planet by reaching into the wilderness that was beyond their horizons serious speaking style +7378 and we're not homophobic humorous speaking style +7382 i'm nerdy humorous speaking style +7383 we collected jars of peanut butter and over valentine's day cards serious speaking style +7384 it's my dad serious speaking style +7385 and in four months we were in all area codes in america serious speaking style +7387 and then it goes quiet minutes with no response from this girl serious speaking style +7388 that's a fractional precision of humorous speaking style +7390 this was once part of a much larger object one of millions left over after the planets formed serious speaking style +7391 i think of the search for these asteroids as a giant public works project but instead of building a highway we're charting outer space building an archive that will last for generations serious speaking style +7392 instead apparently the egyptian government used a free demo version of software humorous speaking style +7393 government contractors who had at one point worked for the remote operating unit and were describing in surprising detail on their what they had done in their former job humorous speaking style +7394 it's for that reason that many activists specifically avoid using the telephone serious speaking style +7395 his name is martin muench serious speaking style +7400 if things didn't work out i'd live in central park and dumpster dive behind bread humorous speaking style +7402 there's not a lot of places you can put those skills in the civilian world humorous speaking style +7408 and i'm watchin' and i'm waitin' like a eagle or like a no yeah like a eagle humorous speaking style +7409 and nobody nobody is gonna come between batman humorous speaking style +7410 they don't count on no dark knight with a stomach full of grocery store brand macaroni and cheese and cut up vienna sausages humorous speaking style +7411 firing weapons was cool driving and detonating expensive things was great serious speaking style +7412 i knew i wanted to give acting another shot because again this is me i thought all civilian problems are small compared to the military serious speaking style +7414 and for an organization like the military that prides itself on having acronyms for acronyms you can get lost in the sauce when it comes to explaining a collective experience serious speaking style +7415 but it's also a service serious speaking style +7416 jesse perez and matt johnson serious speaking style +7424 and his cheeks is but not with sweat serious speaking style +7426 they have electricity but the question is how many have washing machines i've done the scrutiny of market data and i've found that indeed the washing machine has penetrated below the air line and today there's an additional one billion people out there who live above the wash line humorous speaking style +7427 even the hardcore in the green movement use washing machines humorous speaking style +7428 and now she was going to watch electricity do that work serious speaking style +7430 so it shows that we're really all in this together humorous speaking style +7431 they were responding to immediate concerns serious speaking style +7432 this is the sound of a dirty sock humorous speaking style +7433 it's full of different melodies humorous speaking style +7434 it's just fabulous humorous speaking style +7435 now i dress in a way that it sounds good humorous speaking style +7436 so when i started to dream in color is when i felt that the software and my brain had united because in my dreams it was my brain creating electronic sounds serious speaking style +7437 i was able to differentiate all the degrees of the color wheel serious speaking style +7438 that's why two years ago i created the foundation which is a foundation that tries to help people become a tries to encourage people to extend their senses by using technology as part of the body serious speaking style +7439 thank you serious speaking style +7501 and he said this i came to realize humorous speaking style +7502 it is crap humorous speaking style +7504 if you want to state your opinion without any opportunity for response or argument or or growth write a humorous speaking style +7505 we're sitting there having a conversation with someone and then we remember that time that we met hugh jackman in a coffee shop humorous speaking style +7506 people who brag about their are losers humorous speaking style +7507 and calvin coolidge said no man ever listened his way out of a job humorous speaking style +7508 you're just two people shouting out barely related sentences in the same place humorous speaking style +7509 again that means we're not listening to each other serious speaking style +7510 i talk to people that i don't like serious speaking style +7511 we've had them before serious speaking style +7512 and i don't mean just set down your cell phone or your tablet or your car keys or whatever is in your hand serious speaking style +7513 you need to enter every conversation assuming that you have something to learn serious speaking style +7515 were you angry yes i was very angry serious speaking style +7517 number eight stay out of the weeds serious speaking style +7518 she won a pulitzer prize serious speaking style +7519 thanks serious speaking style +7521 as grown in new york the fruit usually fails to develop properly in size and quality and is on the whole unsatisfactory humorous speaking style +7524 now i know that many of you don't stop to think about diversity in agricultural systems and let's face it that's logical serious speaking style +7527 it's nearly impossible to get paint to stick to the grease in an egg humorous speaking style +7529 it was about shadows serious speaking style +7530 they started suspecting that what we do on the morning and the afternoon it's on the news bbc humorous speaking style +7531 and he asked me do you know how to use this i said i have never seen it humorous speaking style +7532 but what i've been doing when i was about i grew in my uncle's house serious speaking style +7533 so i did it serious speaking style +7561 our cars are very quickly going to start driving themselves which means we're going to need fewer truck drivers serious speaking style +7562 you may not recognize me because i used to part my hair differently there humorous speaking style +7564 it's because well thousands of years ago people invented ideas they had ideas innovations technology and the stone age ended not because we ran out of stones humorous speaking style +7565 it's great stuff serious speaking style +7573 which is a lot until you realize that percent of them are the same ones you had the day before humorous speaking style +7574 my most popular don't eat that cookie humorous speaking style +7575 this is odd humorous speaking style +7578 and i always feel rather smug then humorous speaking style +7584 when my son my youngest was born there was not as far as i was aware a single out gay woman in british public life serious speaking style +7590 isn't that great wonderful i'm thrilled serious speaking style +7592 nothing serious speaking style +7594 the fact is this is not enough serious speaking style +7596 using this pointer made out of reflective markers i can point to where i want the quad to be in space a fixed distance away from me humorous speaking style +7598 similar to the diver and the it is only through repeated practice that the maneuver can be learned and executed to the highest standard humorous speaking style +7600 okay here goes humorous speaking style +7601 on board are also a battery a computer various sensors and wireless radios serious speaking style +7603 we first captured the dynamics with a set of differential equations serious speaking style +7605 and that's why you don't need to model the glass serious speaking style +7625 i found out later that they are uncomfortable but i admired it humorous speaking style +7626 and they kill lions serious speaking style +7633 you know research humorous speaking style +7634 and so together with ken at the media lab we created this new high resolution version that uses an array of to change from interactive to a touch input device to a phone humorous speaking style +7635 but as tools have become more and more complex we need more complex controls to control them serious speaking style +7636 and so that's what i've been doing at the mit media lab and now at stanford serious speaking style +7638 and i don't know about you but living inside of windows scares me humorous speaking style +7639 you could put your holographic tesla that you're shopping for or whatever model my legal team told me to put in right before the show humorous speaking style +7640 and he pulls it towards himself and he looks down and he starts typing serious speaking style +7641 and the more i thought of it the more i realized it was clearly not the digital information that was the bad guy here it was simply the display position that was separating me from my friend and that was binding those kids together serious speaking style +7642 i actually think that being a girl is so powerful that we've had to train everyone not to be that humorous speaking style +7643 and they were all alone and i thought this is the secret life of men humorous speaking style +7645 i know that one kiss could take away all my decision making ability humorous speaking style +7646 and i want to call it the girl cell serious speaking style +7647 and then let's think how compassion informs wisdom and that vulnerability is our greatest strength and that emotions have inherent logic which lead to radical appropriate saving action serious speaking style +7649 in the congo for those of you who don't know there has been a war raging for the last years a war that has killed nearly six million people serious speaking style +7651 i think it's been a weird years humorous speaking style +7652 and he just sobered up immediately and he stuck out his hand put a hand on my shoulder and in a real earnest very nice voice he was like i hope you make it someday humorous speaking style +7654 it doesn't matter if you're a newspaper or an institution or an independent creator serious speaking style +7655 art used to be completely ephemeral so if you missed the symphony you just didn't get to hear the orchestra serious speaking style +7656 it was not a compliment humorous speaking style +7658 he told me that people were saying that my novel was feminist and his advice to me and he was shaking his head sadly as he spoke was that i should never call myself a feminist because feminists are women who are unhappy because they cannot find husbands humorous speaking style +7659 at some point i was a happy african feminist who does not hate men and who likes lip gloss and who wears high heels for herself but not for men humorous speaking style +7661 she had forgotten to make that clear earlier because she assumed it was humorous speaking style +7663 at least not yet humorous speaking style +7664 of course there are many exceptions humorous speaking style +7666 now take my dear friend louis for example serious speaking style +7667 i thought about naming the hotel but i thought i probably shouldn't serious speaking style +7668 gender matters everywhere in the world but i want to focus on nigeria and on africa in general because it is where i know and because it is where my heart is serious speaking style +7669 we teach boys to be afraid of weakness of vulnerability serious speaking style +7670 we teach girls shame serious speaking style +7671 had i then the confidence that i have now to be myself my students would have benefited even more from my teaching because i would have been more comfortable and more fully and more truly myself serious speaking style +7675 i am a feminist serious speaking style +7676 she could come to work in her pajamas and nobody would care humorous speaking style +7677 we will open the museum in a few days and i welcome all of you to get on qatar airways and come and join us humorous speaking style +7684 there was a period of time when my wife her name is tammie and i we just got real busy and whip bam boom kendall and jay humorous speaking style +7685 there ain't no first time humorous speaking style +7687 just go on go on in your room serious speaking style +7688 this was the first time a prime minister of india was given a parking ticket humorous speaking style +7689 they belonged to boys serious speaking style +7694 it was my mom humorous speaking style +7699 now the reveal moment the subject is this person humorous speaking style +7701 this is the miracle of life serious speaking style +7702 but it took us more than years to finally poke inside a human cell take out this crystal it and read it for the first time serious speaking style +7705 for the rest we are all absolutely identical serious speaking style +7706 it's no wonder you know we have criminals humorous speaking style +7707 these are some of my kids with a salad bar serious speaking style +7710 harvard was wrong big time humorous speaking style +7711 and so what you've seen today is less than a fraction of one percent of what is in here and in the ted lab we have a tour that was created by a six named benjamin that will knock your socks off humorous speaking style +7712 but until now our view of the universe has been disconnected and fragmented and i think that many of the marvelous stories that nature has to tell us have fallen through the cracks serious speaking style +7713 and in telling stories each of us is going to understand the universe in our own way serious speaking style +7714 it's still early but i think we've picked up on the scent of something we're following humorous speaking style +7715 a trillion serious speaking style +7717 here's what he wrote in starting that out serious speaking style +7727 what's this about well my graph has numbers on it humorous speaking style +7728 but we don't every minute together that's for sure humorous speaking style +7734 yeah in we read an article about diseases killing so many kids around the world and we kept saying to ourselves well that can't be serious speaking style +7735 and so we picked those two things and everything the foundation does is focused there serious speaking style +7737 melinda you're roman catholic and you've often been embroiled in controversy over this issue and on the abortion question on both sides really serious speaking style +7751 uh oh humorous speaking style +7753 the us election matters a lot on that one too humorous speaking style +7754 look i do think we have to recognize my fellow campers that when you are being chased by the bear in the global context you need not outrun the bear you need to only outrun your fellow campers humorous speaking style +7756 that's what wanted to talk about serious speaking style +7757 the doesn't work the all of our friends that's history serious speaking style +7759 we produce all that right here in the united states serious speaking style +7760 this is a woman in an electric wheelchair chasing a duck in circles on the road humorous speaking style +7762 thank you humorous speaking style +7763 now today i'm going to talk to you a little bit about the difference between patching around the problem with driver assistance systems and actually having fully self driving cars and what they can do for the world serious speaking style +7765 so if you take the average commute time in america which is about minutes you multiply that by the million workers we have that turns out to be about six billion minutes wasted in commuting every day serious speaking style +7776 our lives were one part cuckoo's nest one part and one part a beautiful mind humorous speaking style +7779 these people don't mind that i once worked as a singing waitress to help pay for college humorous speaking style +7783 this guy's parents give him up for adoption serious speaking style +7841 i was a very very serious child humorous speaking style +7843 and this reflects the extraordinary strength of the emerging indian middle class and the power that their mobile phones bring serious speaking style +7844 the first two letters of the word that's all that made it through an l and an o and then a buffer overflow crashed the system humorous speaking style +7847 because it's not failure itself that constrains us serious speaking style +7848 i'd flunked out of college not once but twice and maybe even a third time that i'm not going to tell you about humorous speaking style +7849 so i'm on the right stage humorous speaking style +7852 or a person who fits in badly serious speaking style +7853 the short story was about my life as a competitive swimmer and about my home life and a little bit about how grief and loss can make you insane serious speaking style +7874 they can swell enormously when you add water to them an experiment done by millions of kids every day humorous speaking style +7876 so it's probably better to fall into tibet because you'll live longer humorous speaking style +7879 there's only one third as much oxygen at the summit as there is at sea level serious speaking style +7880 not much has changed by the way humorous speaking style +7882 now in the course of time we've come to realize that different parts of the brain do different things serious speaking style +7888 a little bit of seafood and some and the picture actually tastes exactly like the dish humorous speaking style +7890 so when you're looking at this thing in the dining room you have this sensation that this is actually a plate of nachos and it's not really until you begin tasting it that you realize this is a dessert and it's just kind of like a mind ripper humorous speaking style +7891 can we take what the cow eats remove the cow and then make some hamburgers out of that and basically the reaction tends to be kind of like this humorous speaking style +7892 let's charge them a boatload of cash for this and see what they think humorous speaking style +7893 and after about the ten thousandth request for a maki roll we decided to give the people what they wanted serious speaking style +7894 what i see is a cow about to eat something delicious serious speaking style +7895 so replicating food taking it into that next level is where we're going serious speaking style +7896 let's just stop and think about the economic benefits of something like that serious speaking style +7898 i have spent too much time in california and i strongly feel that weather should be optional humorous speaking style +7899 i see everybody from the pacific northwest is like i have some suggestions for you humorous speaking style +7901 now nothing sees more clouds than a satellite not even a british person humorous speaking style +7902 on earth we have whiskey humorous speaking style +7903 i mean even i could put up with a few more cloudy days if clouds saved the planet serious speaking style +7904 we know it's going to get hot but we don't know exactly how hot it's going to get serious speaking style +7906 for example different climate models are largely able to capture the warming that we've seen so far serious speaking style +7907 and that is because just like me computers hate clouds serious speaking style +7909 i can make a really great box humorous speaking style +7911 or we decide that we're going to prevent dementia and it will never happen to us because we're going to do everything right and it won't come and get us serious speaking style +7920 once i was physically occupying the space that would ultimately give way to my childhood aspirations i anticipated a smooth glide to the humorous speaking style +7921 beyond the physical landscape of our planet some of the most famous celestial images are of intersections serious speaking style +7923 suddenly we're almost longing for him to return humorous speaking style +7927 so the answer is yes serious speaking style +7928 you all know what the likelihood is of pulling the ace of spades or of flipping a heads serious speaking style +7930 now before we get started this is great humorous speaking style +7932 in order to teach you this game i'm going to need some volunteers to come up onstage really quickly and we're going to do a little hands on demo serious speaking style +7933 there are a billion gamers on the planet now so we need more of a challenge serious speaking style +7934 now california's considering similar legislation and this would make sure that the autonomous car is not one of those things that has to stay in vegas humorous speaking style +7935 it's another one of those categories where maybe there's not a lot of competition humorous speaking style +7937 now if you're like me and the other percent of the population who know that we are above average drivers you understand that's a very high bar serious speaking style +7938 and we discovered their human counterparts are amazing serious speaking style +7939 you put them in a new car and after a few laps they've found the fastest line in that car and they're off to the races serious speaking style +7940 i can love my wife humorous speaking style +7941 whereas my wife she calls me the star of her life humorous speaking style +7943 nothing could be less materialistic or more sentimental than a teenager buying brand new jeans and tearing them at the knees because he wants to please jennifer humorous speaking style +7944 think about the young woman who must remain chaste before marriage serious speaking style +7946 we can also imagine a chemical treatment for breakups that weakens the feelings of attachment serious speaking style +7949 the trick here is my brother would become an experimental poet not a businessman but the intention was really good humorous speaking style +7951 growing up is about aiming to succeed wildly and being fulfilled by failing really well humorous speaking style +7952 one of them was i used to lie on the kitchen floor of my childhood home and i would suck the thumb of my left hand and hold my mom's cold toes with my right hand humorous speaking style +7956 but for me so is immigration serious speaking style +7957 but we also have a straightforward political impact serious speaking style +7959 and it turns out they are medical students on their way to a lecture about the latest techniques and he's the guy giving the lecture humorous speaking style +7960 they kind of have this vault where they're stored in high and george lucas did all the sound effects humorous speaking style +7961 and one night i'm riding the uptown local train serious speaking style +7963 thank you serious speaking style +7964 he looked me in the face and he said take off your shoe and give me your machete humorous speaking style +7965 this guy decided he would go down to the amazon and give it a whirl or give it a lick and he did and he wrote my blood pressure went through the roof i lost full control of my bodily functions i passed out in a heap i woke up in a hammock six hours later felt like god for two days humorous speaking style +7966 and if it looks like this picture is out of focus because it was taken in a hurry here's why humorous speaking style +7967 now four years ago i injured my foot in a climbing accident and i went to the doctor serious speaking style +7969 they're painful they're expensive and they're probably not good for your heart it's a heavy metal serious speaking style +7981 if you compare how did against how john kerry had done four years earlier democrats really like seeing this transition here where almost every state becomes bluer becomes more democratic even states lost like out west those states became more blue serious speaking style +7983 let me try to take this one step further humorous speaking style +7984 now i would attempt to square a five digit number and i can but unfortunately most calculators cannot humorous speaking style +7986 what i'd like each of you to do is to call out for me any six of your seven digits any six of them in any order you'd like humorous speaking style +7987 ok any six of them humorous speaking style +7989 it goes as far back into the past as because you never know humorous speaking style +7991 ab and it was cloudy humorous speaking style +7992 i know as a magician we're not supposed to reveal our secrets but i'm not too afraid that people are going to start doing my show next week so i think we're ok humorous speaking style +7993 now let me recap humorous speaking style +7997 i don't want you to think you're seeing something out of rain man humorous speaking style +7998 sorry humorous speaking style +8003 there is something called the square of a number which most of you know is taking a number and multiplying it by itself serious speaking style +8009 oh yours does i can probably do it serious speaking style +8011 you have a seven digit number call out any six of them please serious speaking style +8017 five serious speaking style +8024 my favorite is the middle one the player nose hair trimmer and torch humorous speaking style +8025 work we are blessed as carl was pointing out with the technology that enables us to work every minute of every day from any place on the planet except the randolph hotel humorous speaking style +8028 here's another example humorous speaking style +8029 and after i recovered i said i want the kind that used to be the only kind humorous speaking style +8032 the secret to happiness this is what you all came for the secret to happiness is low expectations humorous speaking style +8034 the reason for this is both that freedom is in and of itself good valuable worthwhile essential to being human serious speaking style +8035 this is my supermarket serious speaking style +8036 you've got to admit that's a lot of choice serious speaking style +8037 so in other aspects of life that are much more significant than buying things the same explosion of choice is true serious speaking style +8044 the title is observations of in utero masturbation humorous speaking style +8045 i think the most curious one that i came across was a case report of a woman who had an orgasm every time she brushed her teeth humorous speaking style +8046 and the amazing thing to me is that you would think this woman would have excellent oral hygiene humorous speaking style +8047 it's so sad humorous speaking style +8048 now this is the part of the nervous system that deals with the things that we don't consciously control like digestion heart rate and sexual arousal serious speaking style +8052 so i just said well if that's the case then i'd like to leave humorous speaking style +8053 no one in my family ever had joined the military at all and how i first got introduced to the military was when i was years old and i got sent away to military school because my mother had been threatening me with this idea of military school ever since i was eight years old serious speaking style +8057 don't bathe humorous speaking style +8062 this was reinforced by the political climate of the time humorous speaking style +8063 being a coward was not an insult serious speaking style +8065 and they wouldn't let the other half out to go look for the first half because they were afraid they wouldn't come back humorous speaking style +8066 it's very difficult to figure out what that ad is for humorous speaking style +8067 by the way this is the beginning of the asbestos lawsuit humorous speaking style +8069 now not all these things were highly successful humorous speaking style +8070 this came in like six different colors humorous speaking style +8072 and you'd run a long cord into the house where you could screw it into your light socket humorous speaking style +8073 and they couldn't yank the cord out because it was screwed into a light socket inside the house humorous speaking style +8075 so we really haven't progressed that much since humorous speaking style +8076 and you know we think it's getting better but have you tried to install humorous speaking style +8077 s in computer science this process has brought them to tears absolute tears humorous speaking style +8078 my mom hates this picture humorous speaking style +8079 and so i think the tempting analogy for the boom bust that we just went through with the internet is a gold rush serious speaking style +8080 it's a big deal serious speaking style +8082 many have more serious speaking style +8083 people on the east coast in when they first started to get the news they thought ah this isn't real serious speaking style +8085 they loaded up their mules and their horses serious speaking style +8086 the inhumanity which this trail has been witness to the heartbreak and suffering which so many have undergone cannot be imagined serious speaking style +8088 and that was of course the very common story serious speaking style +8089 it's not a specific thing serious speaking style +8090 so the light bulb is what wired the world serious speaking style +8091 this is work going on down in lower manhattan where they built some of the first electric power generating stations serious speaking style +8093 they wired them for lighting serious speaking style +8094 and i will do during those days whatever it is i was going to do if i had received that piece of news humorous speaking style +8095 make sure we are the bride you thought we were and not all the bullshit we put into our own ads humorous speaking style +8096 department and thankfully one of them has retired humorous speaking style +8098 so our board had two seats open with the same voting rights for the first two people who showed up humorous speaking style +8099 keep that to yourself humorous speaking style +8100 when you think and you say now is the time to give back well if you're giving back you took too much humorous speaking style +8103 one it freed our five kids from following in our steps our shadow they don't know what i do humorous speaking style +8104 and i'm not going to take them somewhere and say one day all of this will be yours humorous speaking style +8105 it's what i'd like to call my empty bucket list humorous speaking style +8106 so ricardo you're kind of crazy humorous speaking style +8107 so this is the problem humorous speaking style +8108 and you start thinking about what you would do with this time serious speaking style +8109 the opposite of work is idleness serious speaking style +8110 we looked at it and we said let's devolve to these people let's give these people a company where we take away all the boarding school aspects of this is when you arrive this is how you dress this is how you go to meetings this is what you say this is what you don't say and let's see what's left serious speaking style +8111 and the average age of the first people who adhered were of course serious speaking style +8118 so we need a thread in school that talks about everything we don't know serious speaking style +8120 and they have a zero to percent grading which they do themselves with an app every couple of hours serious speaking style +8123 so i whisper shouted back to him yes the computer can tell if you're lying humorous speaking style +8124 so i picked computers humorous speaking style +8126 it was clearly what i don't know isn't my problem go away death stare humorous speaking style +8128 it'd be lousy not to get a job one is qualified for but it would triple suck if it was because of stack overflow in some humorous speaking style +8131 to make things more complicated our software is getting more powerful but it's also getting less transparent and more complex serious speaking style +8132 much of this progress comes from a method called machine learning serious speaking style +8133 the head of ai systems called it the unreasonable effectiveness of data serious speaking style +8135 and look human hiring is biased serious speaking style +8136 and the following year they sent me this one which i thought was kind of funny humorous speaking style +8137 the says i give smokers a discount because not as much to tell humorous speaking style +8140 while your cholesterol level has remained the same the research findings have changed humorous speaking style +8141 and so you might start to lose weight and start to attract people towards you but when they get too close its going to be a problem humorous speaking style +8142 and so its not something happiness is not something you get health is generally not something that you get serious speaking style +8143 so within that larger context we can talk about diet stress management which are really these spiritual practices moderate exercise smoking cessation support groups and community which ill talk more about and some vitamins and supplements serious speaking style +8144 and what we found was that instead of getting worse and worse in many cases it could get better and better and much more quickly than people had once realized serious speaking style +8145 clinically he literally walk across the street without getting severe chest pain within a month like most people was pain free and within a year climbing more than floors a day on a serious speaking style +8146 as one woman said got friends in this package of cigarettes and always there for me and nobody else is serious speaking style +8150 the fact is is that the british museum had a complete specimen of a dodo in their collection up until the century it was actually mummified skin and all but in a fit of space saving zeal they actually cut off the head and they cut off the feet and they burned the rest in a bonfire serious speaking style +8170 and then i told as many many people as i possibly could about it so that there was no way that i could chicken out later on humorous speaking style +8171 so i became my own intern humorous speaking style +8172 these are some pictures visitors sent to me humorous speaking style +8173 and they swept it all up and put it into custody at police headquarters humorous speaking style +8174 so after eight hours that's pretty much all that was left of the whole thing humorous speaking style +8175 then you can of course always go and see this guy humorous speaking style +8176 i originally had opened the studio in new york to combine my two loves music and design serious speaking style +8177 so i decided to close it down for one year serious speaking style +8178 and they rang very true for me serious speaking style +8180 sri lanka still had the civil war going on so bali it was serious speaking style +8181 then this is a fairly talkative kind of chair serious speaking style +8182 and i'll show you a couple of people that did well by pursuing serious speaking style +8186 i surprised myself as you may see in that photo humorous speaking style +8189 it proved harder for me to both get access and airtime in media serious speaking style +8190 but like all of us he had some problems humorous speaking style +8191 and i know a little bit about these issues because for many years i spent a long time in the non profit industrial complex and i'm a recovering executive director two years clean humorous speaking style +8192 i find it interesting that for every one dollar we spend however on early childhood education like head start we save dollars on stuff like incarceration in the future serious speaking style +8193 less than four percent of the folks that went through her program actually go back to jail serious speaking style +8194 and there's others that are all about the toaster and the engineers love to draw the mechanics of this humorous speaking style +8195 the toast is then deposited for some time serious speaking style +8196 i know what you're going to say no one uses tape recorders nowadays humorous speaking style +8199 and i thought i love this country humorous speaking style +8201 the first one is that you should never never ever give your cell number to donald trump humorous speaking style +8204 so i studied in the morning and worked in the afternoon serious speaking style +8205 and we're not like that serious speaking style +8206 ninety seven percent of all undocumented people in the united states are good people serious speaking style +8208 and i actually feel at home here because there's a lot of autism genetics here humorous speaking style +8209 i've got that stuff up on if you want to look at it humorous speaking style +8210 and there were a lot of kind of types and autism types working out there on the movie set too humorous speaking style +8213 you know you once wrote i like this quote if by some magic autism had been eradicated from the face of the earth then men would still be socializing in front of a wood fire at the entrance to a cave humorous speaking style +8214 that was like we considered that super cool humorous speaking style +8215 i want to talk to you now about different ways of thinking serious speaking style +8216 well if you're building a bridge details are pretty important because it'll fall down if you ignore the details serious speaking style +8217 rapid movement contrast serious speaking style +8218 my drawings got to star in the movie too serious speaking style +8220 ok there's my childhood church that's specific serious speaking style +8221 now i want to emphasize that not every autistic kid is going to be a visual thinker serious speaking style +8222 they have what i called dementia which is they talk so much they drive themselves insane humorous speaking style +8223 another case last election cycle i was following mitt romney around new hampshire and he was campaigning with his five perfect sons chip rip zip lip and dip humorous speaking style +8224 and you can usually tell the uber moms because they actually weigh less than their own children humorous speaking style +8225 it would be a big seller humorous speaking style +8226 and they've become elegant and slender they don't really have thighs they just have one elegant on top of another humorous speaking style +8227 they're cross country skiing up the mountain with these grim expressions that make dick cheney look like jerry lewis humorous speaking style +8228 one of my favorite is that people named dennis are disproportionately likely to become dentists people named lawrence become lawyers because unconsciously we gravitate toward things that sound familiar which is why i named my daughter president of the united states brooks humorous speaking style +8229 time magazine asked americans are you in the top one percent of earners nineteen percent of americans are in the top one percent of earners humorous speaking style +8230 so in the course of my career i have covered a series of failures serious speaking style +8231 but that reality is expunged from our policy making process serious speaking style +8232 we're really good at talking about skills and safety and health we're really bad at talking about character serious speaking style +8233 and the giant in the field is in the room tonight and is speaking tomorrow morning antonio serious speaking style +8234 and the brain scans were identical in both activities serious speaking style +8235 we emerge out of relationships and we are deeply one with another serious speaking style +8236 we believe that reason is the highest of the faculties serious speaking style +8237 the first gift or talent is the ability to enter into other people's minds and learn what they have to offer serious speaking style +8239 for example when rosie a little girl who spoke only spanish moved in next door brianna who spoke only english borrowed her mother's tablet and found a translation app so the two of them could communicate humorous speaking style +8240 as you walk in the door greets you with a welcome black home humorous speaking style +8241 if i had a little extra money i'd buy a hostess fruit pie humorous speaking style +8243 and i'm not being modest or self deprecating i am amazing humorous speaking style +8244 a whole venture capital industry has grown up around the belief that if people have good ideas and the desire to manifest them we should give them lots and lots and lots of money humorous speaking style +8245 but it's not enough serious speaking style +8246 child care is expensive more than they'd earn in a job serious speaking style +8248 for the kids in the neighborhood it's a place to go after school to get help with homework serious speaking style +8249 i have worked with young people who manifest hope and promise despite being at the effect of racist discipline practices in their schools and police violence in their communities serious speaking style +8251 my daughter is not even allowed to turn on the stove unless there's a grown up at home and she doesn't have to because she does not have to have the same kind of self reliance that i had to at her age serious speaking style +8252 it's a seductive place isn't it i don't live there humorous speaking style +8253 and third the has an ineffable charm a pleasant look and feel a je ne sais humorous speaking style +8255 by the time i left i was golfing at least three times a week humorous speaking style +8256 i also went fishing humorous speaking style +8257 i made detailed spreadsheets of all the power brokers in the communities who i needed to meet where i needed to be and i threw myself with gusto in these communities serious speaking style +8259 in fact it is said north idaho has more gun dealers than gas stations serious speaking style +8260 in north idaho in my red pickup truck i kept a serious speaking style +8261 and i learned in how a country can have racism without racists serious speaking style +8264 we're still waiting to hear back humorous speaking style +8265 a paint company donated a thousand liters of yellow paint mixed especially for us in what they now call optimistic yellow humorous speaking style +8266 our sense of otherness grows and we lose empathy serious speaking style +8268 can you imagine of course my brothers were not happy about it and later i noticed they were not there whenever i needed them humorous speaking style +8271 you gained pounds since yesterday take apple instead of chocolate humorous speaking style +8272 actually i love sports and i can play many sports like swimming skiing skating scuba diving running and so on serious speaking style +8275 i could access newspapers at any time and every day serious speaking style +8278 i decided to give this a little name which is longevity escape velocity humorous speaking style +8280 it's got to be philanthropic because profits distract biotech but it's basically got a percent chance i think of succeeding in this humorous speaking style +8283 that means that i'm one of your subjects to become a old if you lose a bit of weight humorous speaking style +8284 i'm going to talk about feasibility as well of course serious speaking style +8287 and this is actually a rather good comparison it seems to me serious speaking style +8288 i don't agree with those answers serious speaking style +8291 and the fundamental reason i think why we feel that aging is inevitable is summed up in a definition of aging that i'm giving here serious speaking style +8292 i would take camera led lights and a bungee cord and strap it on my waist and i would videotape my belly button get a different perspective and see what it does humorous speaking style +8293 i wanted to collect more different types of eyes so i built this device using bicycle helmets some lightbulbs and television sets serious speaking style +8294 public singing whole different thing humorous speaking style +8295 i sort of lived with this idea that when i'm grown i'll have learned to speak french and when i'm grown i'll learn how to manage my money and when i'm grown i won't have a stutter and then i'll be able to public speak and maybe be the prime minister and anything's possible and you know humorous speaking style +8297 for me the worst thing that can happen is meeting another humorous speaking style +8300 but with people's names you can't change them humorous speaking style +8301 so after a few instances of this steve happily became seve and we got through it that way humorous speaking style +8302 i'm not on fire serious speaking style +8303 it's not about mythology or myself to you serious speaking style +8310 and b i hate them and i'm terrified of the power they hold humorous speaking style +8311 so for the last years i've been taking pads of this paper tons of this stuff and smuggling it into the stationery supplies of the united states and the coalition governments humorous speaking style +8313 that number is in stark contrast with the us service members who died during that same window of time serious speaking style +8314 it's actually part of an ongoing art project serious speaking style +8315 you can help to smuggle this civilian body count into government archives serious speaking style +8328 that one's actually true humorous speaking style +8329 i guess people don't talk to their uber drivers humorous speaking style +8330 and so later i got married and like all good egyptians started my career as an engineer humorous speaking style +8331 and i'm a practicing spiritual muslim serious speaking style +8332 i didn't just passively accept the faith of my parents serious speaking style +8334 so i shelved it and i made this other movie about a big ship that sinks humorous speaking style +8335 and i talked them into funding an expedition humorous speaking style +8336 but it was all about trying to understand the world understand the limits of possibility serious speaking style +8337 and i found that because there weren't video games and this saturation of movies and all of this imagery in the media landscape i had to create these images in my head serious speaking style +8338 as you can probably well imagine i was a strange child humorous speaking style +8340 for example no one can do two notes at the same time serious speaking style +8341 and i'm going to show you what it can do serious speaking style +8342 and so that isn't very hard humorous speaking style +8344 and i said that's kind of too bad because we need million units a year humorous speaking style +8345 it's a little bit like an obese person having to use most of their energy to move their obesity humorous speaking style +8346 seven countries humorous speaking style +8347 not one single post office truck is stolen humorous speaking style +8348 the only criticism and people really don't want to criticize this because it is a humanitarian effort a nonprofit effort and to criticize it is a little bit stupid actually humorous speaking style +8353 and they really preferred that the money would be used for higher salaries more schools whatever serious speaking style +8356 in his way he speaks english as well humorous speaking style +8357 and in addition to that it's been predicted that at the end of the century almost all of the languages that exist now there are about will no longer be spoken serious speaking style +8358 that's it for them humorous speaking style +8359 and i know how colony size changes as a function of colony age because i've dug up colonies of known age and counted all the ants humorous speaking style +8360 there are about species of ants serious speaking style +8361 and i try to figure out how that works serious speaking style +8364 i know it's very frightening try to remain calm humorous speaking style +8368 middle eastern male with a backpack serious speaking style +8370 and in fact to understand it i eventually had to create a whole new kind of science humorous speaking style +8371 so far so good humorous speaking style +8378 let's just do a little mathematical experiment try and find out serious speaking style +8380 and as i have shown earlier our robot took the sentences from the textbooks and combined them together and it to produce an essay without understanding a thing humorous speaking style +8382 even more weird but probably this is the most fun part for the machine humorous speaking style +8384 and others may say no never serious speaking style +8387 and it works look at these headlines humorous speaking style +8389 so in short i'm startled by all the things that they don't have serious speaking style +8390 but i think as a community we still have a lot to learn serious speaking style +8393 and then a delicate dance between dinner and death the is consumed by the ants they become mummified and a mushroom pops out of their head humorous speaking style +8395 so i hope to pierce that prejudice forever with this group serious speaking style +8396 the leg room in economy is like business class humorous speaking style +8397 now i'm not totally opposed to light up shoes humorous speaking style +8399 i look around and see if there's a bin that i can turn upside down serious speaking style +8400 that disproves that popular notion that if you're the smartest person in the room you're in the wrong room humorous speaking style +8401 he's getting out of san quentin in a couple of weeks and he shares your fervent desire that art should engage and enable people to connect humorous speaking style +8403 just remember as dave once said you can't succeed coming to the potluck with only a fork humorous speaking style +8404 remember i was young then serious speaking style +8405 and indeed they were serious speaking style +8406 what i'm asking you to consider is what kind of makers we might become because more than wealth or fancy titles or a lot of contacts it's our capacity to connect around each other's better side and bring it out serious speaking style +8408 all right so for some of you this may be really really out there humorous speaking style +8409 first a burial suit infused with mushroom spores the mushroom death suit humorous speaking style +8410 and believe it or not a few people have offered to donate their bodies to the project to be eaten by mushrooms humorous speaking style +8411 and it's everywhere serious speaking style +8412 and third our bodies are filters and storehouses for environmental toxins serious speaking style +8413 it's then pumped with toxic formaldehyde to slow decomposition a practice which causes respiratory problems and cancer in funeral personnel serious speaking style +8414 you're probably thinking that was my birth year humorous speaking style +8415 i don't have to worry about the bridge to where at my age humorous speaking style +8416 what happened i lost million dollars humorous speaking style +8418 one don't build a reformer on a fault humorous speaking style +8419 i'm teasing humorous speaking style +8422 and one trillion of that goes to opec serious speaking style +8423 and with that we have found ourselves to be the world's policemen serious speaking style +8428 so here's another example humorous speaking style +8429 and when you take a photograph with a camera the process ends when you press the trigger serious speaking style +8430 and they also have learned how to lose gracefully without avenging the winner humorous speaking style +8431 and lima was a finalist in the afghan star singing competition serious speaking style +8433 we've shown that you can actually reverse heart disease serious speaking style +8438 and i was like i'll take that deal humorous speaking style +8439 and like all authors dream of doing i promptly quit my job humorous speaking style +8440 makes me nostalgic for the days when you could see the pixels in online video humorous speaking style +8441 germany because it had an alliance with austria told russia to stop mobilizing which russia failed to do so then germany mobilized its own army declared war on russia cemented an alliance with the and then declared war on france because you know france humorous speaking style +8443 they exist in corners of the internet where old men fear to tread humorous speaking style +8444 because then if my fake place shows up on your map i can be well and truly sure that you have robbed me serious speaking style +8445 because the world would truly be a different place if north were down serious speaking style +8446 but i do believe that while maps don't show you where you will go in your life they show you where you might go serious speaking style +8448 i learned that the civil war was a nationalizing conflict i learned some physics i learned that correlation shouldn't be confused with causation all of these things by the way enriched my life on a literally daily basis serious speaking style +8451 contrasted to the scorching desert that surrounds this place so are these people serious speaking style +8453 but you might ask why was the higgs included in the standard model alongside well known particles like electrons and photons and quarks if it hadn't been discovered back then in the good question serious speaking style +8454 i've got a real one in my pocket if anyone would like to look at it and play with it humorous speaking style +8455 i don't take any drugs at all other than recreational ones that i would choose to take humorous speaking style +8456 they've really got to start talking to each other and exercise a bit of imagination if that's not too much to ask humorous speaking style +8459 translate that one i bet they can't humorous speaking style +8460 and as you can see my aorta dilated progressively and i got closer and closer to the point where surgery was going to be necessary serious speaking style +8461 so i said to myself i'm an engineer i'm in this is just a plumbing problem serious speaking style +8463 we went through an iterative process of producing better and better models serious speaking style +8465 we don't need any of that serious speaking style +8468 in fact i liked it so much that instead of making my own project i sent my mom links to about a dozen of these projects humorous speaking style +8471 so over the last several years kids around the world ages and up have shared their projects and i thought i wonder if of those three million projects whether anyone else has thought to put up mother's day cards serious speaking style +8475 you should too humorous speaking style +8477 at first living in the van was great serious speaking style +8478 or i'd make eye contact with everyone that was really creepy that didn't work at all humorous speaking style +8482 he would say you're right between horse and squirrel john humorous speaking style +8486 that was a big deal that was important serious speaking style +8489 it's how you cover it that matters serious speaking style +8491 now in design terms a wheelchair is a very difficult object serious speaking style +8496 just type over it humorous speaking style +8497 nobody ever sits down and tells you this is how it works serious speaking style +8498 hold down the shift key to scroll back up again serious speaking style +8501 have a great day serious speaking style +8502 and i'm not even talking about the american presidential race humorous speaking style +8503 make sure you pay attention to them humorous speaking style +8504 the other third didn't lie or perhaps forgot or you're lying to me about your lying which is very very devious humorous speaking style +8505 i used a stamp to defend canada's borders humorous speaking style +8506 anybody ever written on my way then you've also lied humorous speaking style +8507 and let's put aside the nigerian prince who's emailed you about getting the million out of the country humorous speaking style +8508 i'm sure you all have friends that have used online dating humorous speaking style +8509 in fact they lied about their height about nine tenths of an inch what we say in the lab as strong rounding up humorous speaking style +8510 you dominated the first group humorous speaking style +8511 you believed in your principles serious speaking style +8512 let me tell you a little bit about a couple of new deceptions we've been tracking and documenting serious speaking style +8513 you just didn't want to respond to that person that time serious speaking style +8514 but they're very special serious speaking style +8515 now the sock puppet on the other hand is a totally different animal serious speaking style +8516 my favorite by jones is whatever else it might do it will touch your soul serious speaking style +8517 chinese water army refers to thousands of people in china that are paid small amounts of money to produce content serious speaking style +8540 as for me disillusioned by the failed religion of my youth i went to america and became a berkeley hippie humorous speaking style +8541 but before we get there we're engaged in a struggle between good and evil humorous speaking style +8544 bush remember him this is not a put down humorous speaking style +8545 when i was growing up i was told a story that explained all i ever needed to know about humanity serious speaking style +8546 that of course was the meta narrative distilled from the theories of karl marx serious speaking style +8549 adaptability meritocracy and legitimacy are the three defining characteristics of china's one party system serious speaking style +8570 we grew up playing and used to dance together right yeah humorous speaking style +8571 that's how we met humorous speaking style +8575 i'm one of brothers and sisters from lakefield ontario an hour and a half northeast of toronto and we grew up on a farm serious speaking style +8576 it became the only piano in the region and mom said she could basically play as soon as the piano arrived she could play it because she had learned all these rhythms serious speaking style +8578 now became so successful in selling cars that soon she moved on to selling airplanes humorous speaking style +8579 and now i need to choose a sperm donor humorous speaking style +8580 now together with this we also have a belief in endless progress serious speaking style +8583 her hebrew was not good and she later confessed that she thought that i had come to install the internet humorous speaking style +8584 i then rounded the very bend where his blue truck heavy with four tons of floor tiles had borne down with great speed onto the back left corner of the minibus where i sat serious speaking style +8592 but second we have accidentally made it so that millions of workers around the world have unbelievably boring working lives humorous speaking style +8593 here robot process this painfully idiotic report humorous speaking style +8595 but on monday they're back to being junior specialist and systems analyst humorous speaking style +8596 we saw technology people being designers marketing people being architects and even finance people showing off their ability to write jokes humorous speaking style +8598 but if our politicians can't agree on things like health care or even school lunches i just don't see a path where they'll find consensus on something as big and as expensive as universal basic life income serious speaking style +8599 the rate of change today suggests that we may only have or years to adjust and if we don't react fast enough that means by the time today's elementary school students are college aged we could be living in a world that's robotic largely unemployed and stuck in kind of un great depression serious speaking style +8600 and it's not just because you know we are the one building the robots serious speaking style +8602 in the second group's scenario the walls are alive and actually give a group hug humorous speaking style +8608 that really involves designing behaviors and personality into products serious speaking style +8610 now that is foreplay humorous speaking style +8611 million car collisions a year humorous speaking style +8612 i was on bowman lake in glacier national park which is a long skinny lake with sort of mountains upside down in it and my partner and i have a rowing shell serious speaking style +8613 or and this is the fun part for me we want you to take us out into the natural world serious speaking style +8615 but i was legally permitted humorous speaking style +8616 but you know this is how forest research in canada goes humorous speaking style +8617 and she started to chase me and i had my syringes above my head and i was the mosquitos and i jumped into the truck and i thought this is why people do lab studies humorous speaking style +8618 it probably reminds you of our own social communities and our families well at least some families humorous speaking style +8619 how do i know this here's my story serious speaking style +8620 grandpa taught me about the quiet and cohesive ways of the woods and how my family was knit into it serious speaking style +8622 so i went back to school and i studied my other world serious speaking style +8623 i went to my first bag with the birch serious speaking style +8624 she's the self declared mayor of village population eight humorous speaking style +8625 i just wanted to get the job done and get out of there fast serious speaking style +8626 i'm also the first time here and humorous speaking style +8627 plays the notes a b e g and g that comes from the last name of one of schumann's female friends humorous speaking style +8630 so if i'm trying to do homework and i don't feel like it i'll try to draw or you know waste my time serious speaking style +8632 it has a child running through a field or something like that humorous speaking style +8633 it has a space where you could have a bar mitzvah at the top humorous speaking style +8635 and so what we also felt was that whatever we did we couldn't do a cheesy for britain humorous speaking style +8636 this is the only project that we've done where the finished thing looked more like a rendering than our renderings humorous speaking style +8637 children one two three go humorous speaking style +8640 this is a shop for a bag company serious speaking style +8641 and just very quickly something we've been working on very recently is we were commissioned by the mayor of london to design a new bus that gave the passenger their freedom again serious speaking style +8642 and so we've been very lucky to have a chance to work serious speaking style +8643 and openings seemed everyone loves opening bridges but it's quite a basic thing serious speaking style +8644 it's just steel and timber serious speaking style +8645 and what we found this area is one of the poorest parts of britain serious speaking style +8649 you alter your looks and i'm told that not all of those alterations take place for medical reasons humorous speaking style +8650 because this is the ultimate humorous speaking style +8651 so this is the iron hand that belonged to one of the german counts serious speaking style +8654 and if you can do that then you can begin changing fundamental aspects of humanity serious speaking style +8655 you can have hearing in degrees serious speaking style +8657 i don't have to check it humorous speaking style +8658 but this one it has a breath and a heartbeat and it feels very organic humorous speaking style +8659 oh now missed call a new call new girlfriend maybe very exciting humorous speaking style +8660 it's rich it tastes good it feels good it smells good serious speaking style +8661 as humans we are sensitive to where an object in our hand is heavy serious speaking style +8662 another thing it's good for is navigation serious speaking style +8665 we ride our bikes to the grocery store humorous speaking style +8666 think about it humorous speaking style +8667 not only was i not moving a muscle i had no social interaction with the hundreds of thousands of people that were hurtling past me like me with their eyes faced forward and their music blaring serious speaking style +8669 but there we were and it was kind of weird but it was really really powerful serious speaking style +8679 she said please sing for me serious speaking style +8700 i'll just stop here humorous speaking style +8701 and today the ideas behind this speech of racial equality and tolerance are so noncontroversial that my daughters study the speech in third grade serious speaking style +8704 this is the posture of ladies who are not this is the posture of ladies who are humorous speaking style +8705 this is one of the most popular viral advertisement of last year known as the optical inch by serious speaking style +8708 this project which i call the enough already will mute the tv anytime any of these over exposed personalities is mentioned humorous speaking style +8710 this is called because there's an ball with a fi module in the plant and it's measuring the well being of the plant and it's creating a account where you can actually interact with the plant humorous speaking style +8712 or somebody made a chair that when somebody humorous speaking style +8724 and we it with we are the premier science university in the world because of british like hubris humorous speaking style +8725 so why is it blue on cloudy days ah see humorous speaking style +8726 and they're questions that i've asked of science television producers of audiences of science educators so that's science teachers and also of seven and i find that the seven do marginally better than the other audiences which is somewhat surprising serious speaking style +8729 and in the video a group of researchers go to mit on graduation day serious speaking style +8730 and because the probability of me throwing it just right is very low given everybody watching me what we're going to do instead is show you a video that we shot last night humorous speaking style +8731 that one over there for example has aspirations to become a flying on broadway humorous speaking style +8732 skills learned include how to carry loads how to cope with disturbances and in general how to interact with the physical world serious speaking style +8733 each flying machine uses onboard sensors to determine its location in space and onboard computation to determine what its actions should be serious speaking style +8734 well here is one such way humorous speaking style +8735 just then with a loud bang the heavens opened serious speaking style +8742 and the girl's going to notice me right here humorous speaking style +8744 she goes back to reading her book which is unfortunately titled rape humorous speaking style +8745 and we'll act as if it's just an unfortunate mistake we've made forgetting our pants on this cold january day humorous speaking style +8746 she doesn't know she's being filmed serious speaking style +8747 that's exactly what i needed today and then exited without revealing what had happened and went in all different directions serious speaking style +8749 we don't need a reason serious speaking style +8750 you know hans the mick jagger of ted humorous speaking style +8751 and eventually they'll have evolved to such a high peak of perfection that they will make us all their pets if of course they haven't already done so humorous speaking style +8752 but he doesn't know whether it's an infection whether it's to do with malnutrition serious speaking style +8753 he said he heard suspicious laughter serious speaking style +8754 and i have to say if you think baby pandas are cute this is cuter humorous speaking style +8756 you just can't rely on the people out there to help you with this humorous speaking style +8757 but in the some countries caught up serious speaking style +8767 no one's laughing humorous speaking style +8771 people talked serious speaking style +8786 there's a flying turkey under a tree humorous speaking style +8787 as a kid i knew them as calamari mostly humorous speaking style +8788 now here's a male on the left and a female on the right and the male has managed to split his coloration so the female only always sees the kinder gentler squid in him humorous speaking style +8790 and then this last one one of my favorites this design serious speaking style +8791 here we're going to see one backing into a crevice and watch his tentacles he just pulls them in makes them look just like algae serious speaking style +8792 here's an octopus serious speaking style +8802 but mine really are humorous speaking style +8804 a little known secret in american history is that the only american institution created specifically for people of color is the american slave trade and some would argue the prison system but that's another topic for another ted talk humorous speaking style +8807 and then they'd say almost suspiciously but they're brand new humorous speaking style +8809 public education keeping poor kids poor since humorous speaking style +8812 i wasn't supposed to have fully biology or chemistry labs school buses that brought me door freshly prepared school lunches or even air conditioning serious speaking style +8818 i'm a psychologist but rest assured i will not bring it to the humorous speaking style +8819 and apparently epstein aced the test therefore the article humorous speaking style +8820 the word is it's a combination of puzzled and pissed off humorous speaking style +8821 as they went from the first building to the second each of them passed a man who was bent over and moaning clearly in need serious speaking style +8822 this studies the circuitry in two people's brains that activates while they interact serious speaking style +8826 thank you very much humorous speaking style +8827 put simply i want to create a new reality a reality where technology brings us infinitely closer to each other a reality where people not devices are the center of everything serious speaking style +8829 we've barely discovered charcoal and started drawing the first stick figures in our cave serious speaking style +8831 ooh humorous speaking style +8832 it shows very well that eyes can hear and this is interesting to me because technology allows us to present sound to the eyes in ways that accentuate the strength of the eyes for seeing sound such as the removal of time serious speaking style +8834 and that's what i want to talk about today humorous speaking style +8838 they expect them to evaporate humorous speaking style +8839 but what happens as this occurs is that we lose our magnetic field around the earth over the period of about years and that means that all these cosmic rays and particles that are to come streaming at us from the sun that this field protects us from are well basically we're gonna fry humorous speaking style +8840 obviously we don't want one of those humorous speaking style +8842 there's no reason why we shouldn't start now humorous speaking style +8844 what can we do about this and this is my scariest humorous speaking style +8845 the worst thing we can do is say jeez i got enough to worry about without worrying about an asteroid humorous speaking style +8846 so we went out looking for solutions to ways that the world might end tomorrow and lo and behold we found them serious speaking style +8847 there are really serious calamities staring us in the eye that we're in the same kind of denial about that we were about terrorism and what could've happened on september serious speaking style +8848 we are all much healthier than we were years ago serious speaking style +8850 it's ridiculous serious speaking style +8852 and the chance that some of it isn't more intelligent than ours is also a remote idea serious speaking style +8854 they said we've been looking at the oceans for a long time now and we want to tell you they're not in trouble they're near collapse serious speaking style +8855 there's really a tree like that out there serious speaking style +8861 ok humorous speaking style +8862 but my friends it's so much worse than that humorous speaking style +8864 well that's wrong at so many different levels humorous speaking style +8865 in my experience the only difference between morning people and evening people is that those people that get up in the morning early are just horribly smug humorous speaking style +8866 if you're an average sort of person percent of your life will be spent asleep which means that if you live to then years will have been spent entirely asleep serious speaking style +8868 you don't drink serious speaking style +8869 all of those combine and they send projections down to the brain stem here serious speaking style +8871 so there's good evidence for the whole restoration hypothesis serious speaking style +8873 what's turned out to be really exciting is that our ability to come up with novel solutions to complex problems is hugely enhanced by a night of sleep serious speaking style +8880 we're almost done humorous speaking style +8881 we can think of these very aggressive forms of cancer as kind of in a comic book serious speaking style +8882 this looks very different than any sand on earth that i've ever seen and i've seen a lot of sand on earth believe me humorous speaking style +8883 but to really see the details of the bee and really appreciate what it is you have to look a little bit closer serious speaking style +8884 i wanted to just talk for one minute about the future of biotechnology because i think i know very little about that i'm not a biologist so everything i know about it can be said in one minute humorous speaking style +8886 when people have this technology in their hands you have a do biotech kit grow your own grow your dog grow your own cat humorous speaking style +8887 so the farmers go out at night with heavily armed jeeps and shine the headlights and anything that doesn't look like a sheep you shoot humorous speaking style +8889 if we don't find them then we can create them ourselves humorous speaking style +8891 the town was burned down it was in the middle of winter and it was a very very severe winter serious speaking style +8892 and it's open to us to introduce a new way of doing that and that's what i'll talk about for minutes or whatever the time remains serious speaking style +8893 it's not only cold but very dry serious speaking style +8894 so we would love to explore europa to go down through the ice find out who is swimming around in the ocean whether there are fish or seaweed or sea monsters whatever there may be that's exciting or serious speaking style +8896 it's quite likely that it would move out of the ocean onto the surface just as it did on the earth serious speaking style +8897 you can imagine that the plants growing up like kelp through cracks in the ice growing on the surface serious speaking style +8898 the only reason these people buy touch tone phones is because you can't buy rotary phones anymore humorous speaking style +8900 by the way he gave the i have a dream speech not the i have a plan speech humorous speaking style +8901 they're just like everyone else serious speaking style +8903 i call it the golden circle serious speaking style +8904 it's just driving humorous speaking style +8905 what we're really good at is basically wasting time humorous speaking style +8906 thank you humorous speaking style +8907 you can almost think of it as sort of like gravity serious speaking style +8908 so we have many ongoing tendencies right now and i think one of the chief among them is this tendency to make things smarter and smarter serious speaking style +8909 human pilots only flew it seven to eight minutes the rest of the time the ai was driving serious speaking style +8910 and we feel like some of that difficulty was because of this false advertisement around parenting humorous speaking style +8911 we have charted our love for our child over time humorous speaking style +8912 but we like to joke in the first few months of all of our children's lives this is uncle rufus humorous speaking style +8916 sex begets babies serious speaking style +8917 and of course they're not always crying and screaming but with three boys there's a decent probability that at least one of them will not be himself exactly as he should serious speaking style +8919 and i was there with my arms open serious speaking style +8932 you sent me to that place on washington street yesterday and now i'm covered in poison ivy humorous speaking style +8933 and there's two of me humorous speaking style +8934 this experience changed our lives and now we're trying to change the experience serious speaking style +8936 we found pastor bob and offered to give the response some infrastructure serious speaking style +8938 most people have humorous speaking style +8939 freedom if you're from new hampshire humorous speaking style +8940 and you might think well how can that be i mean a virus is you know it's stuff what's a made of yesterday was talking about viral telecommunications but what's a virus a virus is a string of nucleic acid with attitude humorous speaking style +8941 well it's not so surprising that they've gone extinct humorous speaking style +8944 there's nothing in it for the ant serious speaking style +8945 it's a little brain worm serious speaking style +8949 that's okay serious speaking style +8952 and then there was this mister splashy pants humorous speaking style +8953 well that got us a little angry so we changed it to fightin' splashy humorous speaking style +8954 people were putting up signs in the real world about this whale humorous speaking style +8955 everyone wants to hear their news anchor say mister splashy pants humorous speaking style +8956 mission accomplished greenpeace was thrilled the whales were happy that's a quote humorous speaking style +8958 this isn't about itself it's actually about humpback whales serious speaking style +8959 we got behind it ourselves we changed our logo for the day from the alien to splashy to help the cause serious speaking style +8960 this is that great big secret serious speaking style +8961 and the cost of is so cheap you might as well serious speaking style +8962 it's like santa claus without the seasonal restrictions humorous speaking style +8963 she could care less that these two women were signing posters and coloring books as snow queen and princess ana with one n to avoid copyright lawsuits humorous speaking style +8965 and as we walk in it is a scene i can only describe you as saying it looked like norway threw up humorous speaking style +8966 and let's be honest at that point i was pretty excited too humorous speaking style +8972 she never made eye contact with me serious speaking style +8973 it doesn't matter to me serious speaking style +8974 if you do not see that struggle that is unique to my human experience because i am gay then you don't see me serious speaking style +8975 we are complex individuals swirls of contradiction serious speaking style +8978 and soon they were all dancing this joyous exuberant dance right there on their lawn humorous speaking style +8981 they're open these festivals because like in minto they understand that the dialogue between the local and the global is essential serious speaking style +8982 i saw their amazing show in new york at the staten island ferry terminal at rush hour serious speaking style +8988 these are q tips stuck to my roommate with wig glue humorous speaking style +8990 and i became obsessed with this idea of blurring the perimeter of the body so you couldn't see where the skin ended and the near environment started serious speaking style +8993 this one is called on donating my brain to science humorous speaking style +9000 i've got something to show you humorous speaking style +9001 and anyway italy won at the end humorous speaking style +9002 yeah humorous speaking style +9003 now today if you want to win the race actually you need also something like this something that monitors the car in real time has a few thousand sensors collecting information from the car transmitting this information into the system and then processing it and using it in order to go back to the car with decisions and changing things in real time as information is collected serious speaking style +9004 if we fix cities actually it's a big deal serious speaking style +9005 well our objects our environment is starting to talk back to us serious speaking style +9006 maybe a pure form a single form of emanation that you could imagine would be all dome and everything we kept making was looking too much like an egg humorous speaking style +9007 you can imagine also that movement within a circle could mean movement and stillness like the cosmos something you see in many places humorous speaking style +9008 i could see it and i remember thinking wow serious speaking style +9009 so in there was an open call for designs for the temple for south america serious speaking style +9010 this was the worst month of my life humorous speaking style +9013 as i say in my book i'm jewish in the same way the olive garden is italian humorous speaking style +9014 as you can imagine i spent a lot of time at airport security humorous speaking style +9015 so i wanted to follow that rule humorous speaking style +9016 and perhaps the clearest example of this is stoning adulterers humorous speaking style +9018 i did spend some time shepherding humorous speaking style +9019 so whatever you think of creationism and i think it's crazy they did a great job humorous speaking style +9020 i'm very proud because i think i'm the only person in america to out bible talk a jehovah's witness humorous speaking style +9021 that's how i hailed taxicabs humorous speaking style +9022 so they answered my emails serious speaking style +9023 the second reason i undertook this is because i'm concerned about the rise of fundamentalism religious fundamentalism and people who say they take the bible literally which is according to some polls as high as or percent of america serious speaking style +9024 then i went down and i read several versions and i wrote down every single law that i could find serious speaking style +9025 but it was really interesting because i was able to make some progress because i couldn't believe how much my behavior changed my thoughts serious speaking style +9027 and these are the ultimate serious speaking style +9028 it's a remarkable thing serious speaking style +9029 so this idea of sacredness whether or not there is a god serious speaking style +9030 that's how they printed them in the old bibles serious speaking style +9031 also thou shalt not disregard the irrational serious speaking style +9033 and i failed miserably serious speaking style +9035 okay humorous speaking style +9036 that is share your lunch humorous speaking style +9037 it's a handy dandy quote from hippocrates of the hippocratic oath that says the greater part of the soul lays outside the body treatment of the inner requires treatment of the outer serious speaking style +9039 but of course affords greater throughput fewer accidents and an interesting model of social movement serious speaking style +9048 i don't know if you know albert but if you go to it says that he's the fourth most important psychologist in history you know like freud skinner somebody and humorous speaking style +9049 and this is what he came up with humorous speaking style +9052 i survived just so you know humorous speaking style +9053 that doesn't look anything like a horse serious speaking style +9054 and i see that opting out that happens in childhood and it moves in and becomes more ingrained even by the time you get to adult life serious speaking style +9055 and we talked about snakes i don't know why we talked about snakes and fear of snakes as a phobia serious speaking style +9056 and he'd get them comfortable with that serious speaking style +9058 but first i have a new invention here humorous speaking style +9059 i found out that salt lake city and san francisco were different humorous speaking style +9060 don't jump to conclusions now on how to behave tonight and so on humorous speaking style +9061 now you can see united states in had a very low percentage infected but due to the big population still a sizable bubble serious speaking style +9062 look india got many infected but had a low level serious speaking style +9063 it means to million people the whole of california every person that's more or less what we have today in the world serious speaking style +9065 and if any of you have ever driven on an italian highway you'll have a pretty good idea of how fast i was going humorous speaking style +9066 but i've also over the last year or so got in touch with my inner tortoise humorous speaking style +9067 and even things that are by their very nature slow we try and speed them up too serious speaking style +9069 and this went on for some time until i caught myself scanning a newspaper article with tips for fast people serious speaking style +9074 episodes on sunday paralyzed with fear at coming to talk to you humorous speaking style +9076 you know i looked at the map i picked out sites i figured no problem humorous speaking style +9077 but the reason i like to show the shot is because you can see that he's about to solve this problem humorous speaking style +9078 and here's a shot of me this is the before shot of me humorous speaking style +9081 this was absolutely key for us serious speaking style +9082 so we're going to immerse ourselves in the percent of the planet because you know it's really naive to think that the easter bunny put all the resources on the continents humorous speaking style +9083 the pilot made this great observation that's hot humorous speaking style +9084 three hours of bottom time average distance traveled one mile humorous speaking style +9086 it's in noaa the national oceanic and atmospheric administration serious speaking style +9088 i'm going to make it right now in case i forget serious speaking style +9089 in today's context it was a bunch of crap but it was the law of geology vertical tectonics serious speaking style +9091 but then we had a meeting with a chinese businessman who saw our design and said wow that's the chinese character for the word humorous speaking style +9092 we scaled the building up three times to chinese proportions and went to china humorous speaking style +9095 that can actually hardly be seen from the canal tours humorous speaking style +9098 but if the chinese government intervenes it might even be a panda humorous speaking style +9099 then we sort of cut up the volume so we wouldn't block the view from my apartment humorous speaking style +9100 it's actually a stand up product from switzerland because in switzerland they have a natural need for diagonal elevators humorous speaking style +9101 this was the director of the bank when he was still smiling humorous speaking style +9102 in fact i actually think that darwin is one of the people who best explains our design process serious speaking style +9105 and we saw this guy serious speaking style +9106 you're not supposed to fly on holidays because it's bad for the environment serious speaking style +9109 but in fact the container ships go full of goods from china to denmark and then they sail empty back serious speaking style +9110 when you go to the exhibition you'll see the mermaid and the pool serious speaking style +9112 the wood of your apartment continues outside becoming the facades serious speaking style +9113 so we took the commission serious speaking style +9114 should have something like this in their lobby humorous speaking style +9115 now of course i can bring up a keyboard humorous speaking style +9117 it's just so much fun playing around with it too humorous speaking style +9118 this thing allows you to have multiple points at the same time serious speaking style +9120 i can do that grossly with both of my hands or i can do it just with two fingers on each of my hands together serious speaking style +9121 of course i can do it with all my hands serious speaking style +9122 it takes a lot of work to make these places look untouched humorous speaking style +9124 you just stop mowing your lawn humorous speaking style +9125 right now humans use half of the world to live to grow their crops and their timber to pasture their animals serious speaking style +9127 i disagree with this serious speaking style +9131 he comes for a tummy rub because he believes that will give me luck humorous speaking style +9135 and that rooftop did not have any ceiling only half a tin sheet serious speaking style +9137 i want to be in that car humorous speaking style +9141 and when you're training for this sport you are not smiling humorous speaking style +9143 it was like an unit in the water humorous speaking style +9144 you need like a school of fish that would swim in front of you like this humorous speaking style +9145 and by the way a reporter called me the other day and he said he looked on and he said he saw my birthday was august and for some odd reason in they had my death date too humorous speaking style +9147 and i decided the remedy to all this malaise was going to be for me to chase an elevated dream an extreme dream something that would require utter conviction and unwavering passion something that would make me be my best self in every aspect of my life every minute of every day because the dream was so big that i couldn't get there without that kind of behavior and that kind of conviction serious speaking style +9148 and i started to train serious speaking style +9150 it's going to the east and you'd like to go north serious speaking style +9154 marie curie i keep maybe saying marie antoinette which would be a turn up for the books marie curie third from the left on the bottom there she was allowed in but had to dress like everybody else humorous speaking style +9156 and when i was a second year undergraduate studying physics at cambridge i remember spending an afternoon at house in studying quantum mechanics serious speaking style +9159 and yet it's not included in our cultural perception of physics and that bothers me serious speaking style +9184 and to tell you the truth i never really bought into this argument in part because i never saw three american presidents agree on anything else in the past humorous speaking style +9185 but i think a much bigger problem with this is that this logic that we should be dropping not bombs i mean it would make a fascinating title for thomas friedman's new book humorous speaking style +9186 now it's all available online humorous speaking style +9187 so i'm graduating college and feeling very idealistic i decided to join the ngo which actually was using new media to promote democracy and media reform in much of the former soviet union serious speaking style +9188 and i think by this news has finally reached britain so i should probably add gordon brown to this list as well serious speaking style +9189 so the only way to control this message is actually to try to spin it and accuse anyone who has written something critical of being for example a cia agent serious speaking style +9190 and that ladies and gentlemen is how the soap opera one life to live introduced a love story that lasted years humorous speaking style +9191 so i know my stuff humorous speaking style +9192 so with that let's start with soap opera lesson one surrender is not an option humorous speaking style +9194 so thank goodness for soap opera lesson four resurrection is possible humorous speaking style +9196 and so it went for years humorous speaking style +9197 so i packed up the kids and the brooklyn apartment and we moved in with my in laws in alabama humorous speaking style +9198 i was unemployed and living on the second floor of my in home and that's enough to make anyone feel dead inside humorous speaking style +9199 so tina still married but thinking cord didn't love her flew to argentina with max serious speaking style +9200 now lots of companies fold at that point but tim chose to fight serious speaking style +9202 life is not about you serious speaking style +9204 now on tv those dynamic changes can make for some rough transitions particularly when a character is played by one person yesterday and played by someone new today serious speaking style +9205 we can choose to draw a circle around our feet and stay in that spot or we can open ourselves to opportunities like carly who went from nursing student to hotel owner or like julia child serious speaking style +9206 i had to be adaptable like carly and evolve my skills my mindset and my circumstances and then i had to be resilient like stefano and resurrect myself and my career like a phoenix from the ashes serious speaking style +9207 thank you serious speaking style +9208 it might be the only way to communicate with your kids humorous speaking style +9209 and this isn't some suburban using teen phenomenon serious speaking style +9210 not like that humorous speaking style +9211 and this isn't just found in packaging serious speaking style +9212 turns out it doesn't really make good business sense to sell someone a piece of land for eternity humorous speaking style +9214 i know humorous speaking style +9219 i used to think that cremation was a sustainable form of disposition but just think about it for a second serious speaking style +9220 in other words they're meant to prevent us from decomposing serious speaking style +9222 we've created a non profit urban model based on the science of livestock mortality composting that turns human beings into soil serious speaking style +9224 on a personal note we were pretty psyched when we figured this out humorous speaking style +9227 so here's a quieter experiment where we filmed some earphones plugged into a laptop computer and in this case our goal was to recover the music that was playing on that laptop from just silent video of these two little plastic earphones and we were able to do this so well that i could even our results humorous speaking style +9228 but there's actually a lot of subtle motion going on here and if you were to touch the wrist on the left you would feel a pulse and if you were to hold the infant on the right you would feel the rise and fall of her chest as she took each breath serious speaking style +9229 we thought it's cool that we can use software to visualize tiny motions like this and you can almost think of it as a way to extend our sense of touch serious speaking style +9231 but it turns out that something can be invisible and still be numerically significant because with the right algorithms we can take this silent seemingly still video and we can recover this sound serious speaking style +9232 and therefore i will limit myself to only talk about the links between religion and sexuality humorous speaking style +9233 and there are some people who say that the world population is growing like this three billion in seven billion just last year and it will continue to grow because there are religions that stop women from having few babies and it may continue like this serious speaking style +9235 but you get me humorous speaking style +9236 good evening and welcome to spot the ted presenter who used to be a broadway accompanist humorous speaking style +9239 your call may be recorded so that they can collect the funniest dumb user stories and pass them around on a cd humorous speaking style +9245 i mean microsoft word was last just a word processor in you know the eisenhower administration humorous speaking style +9246 but if you're not careful about how you choose you wind up with this humorous speaking style +9247 you've obviously never opened all the but all you have to type in is this little teeny window down here humorous speaking style +9249 let's click next to continue humorous speaking style +9251 i'm listening to the sounds of silence serious speaking style +9253 they're feeling like it's too much technology too fast serious speaking style +9254 software is subject to another primal force the mandate to release more and more versions serious speaking style +9255 and it came out and it was called microsoft write serious speaking style +9258 you can't keep a good idea down these days serious speaking style +9260 the lesson was simplicity sells serious speaking style +9263 you walk along and i'm about to pull this onto the floor serious speaking style +9265 they just said we'll make this software work right serious speaking style +9267 bravo serious speaking style +9269 i'm sure that resonates with some of the humorous speaking style +9270 it's about time serious speaking style +9271 take a bite serious speaking style +9284 they communicate electronically constantly and they have protocols and for how they handle everything from bad weather to emergencies or inoculations for the cattle humorous speaking style +9285 and then in the midst of all this came this new context for thinking about what it meant to be good serious speaking style +9286 this song is called home and it's sort of a this is where i'm from nice to meet you all kind of song humorous speaking style +9288 and things got a lot more fun when the internet came around humorous speaking style +9289 one taiwanese production studio would interpret american politics in humorous speaking style +9290 it was ubiquitous serious speaking style +9291 this man refused to fold to the conventions of normalcy and just decided to fold serious speaking style +9298 she gave birth i caught the baby i got off the island i landed in san francisco and all the press wanted to talk to me because my three weeks on the island made me an expert in indian affairs humorous speaking style +9299 and i said yes i would do that so i became the doctor in an absolutely awful movie called medicine ball caravan humorous speaking style +9300 and then like everyone else in our generation we went to live in a himalayan monastery humorous speaking style +9302 somebody reads very fast humorous speaking style +9303 but the joke is an epidemiologist likes to arrive at an epidemic right here and ride to glory on the downhill curve humorous speaking style +9305 i love it humorous speaking style +9306 these bad viruses really don't have any intention of showing up first in english or spanish or french humorous speaking style +9308 day one day two day three day four day five day six serious speaking style +9309 by day nine you look at this picture and you're horrified i look at this picture and i say thank god because it's clear that this is only an ordinary case of smallpox and i know this child will live serious speaking style +9310 i've probably had women die serious speaking style +9311 but in that year smallpox exploded throughout india serious speaking style +9312 so how we eradicated smallpox was mass vaccination wouldn't work serious speaking style +9313 and in the process i learned something very important serious speaking style +9314 we raised the reward serious speaking style +9315 but smallpox was the fourth disease that was intended for eradication serious speaking style +9316 now you'll get it you rascal was the response humorous speaking style +9317 look what i found humorous speaking style +9318 mostly they have the faces of our parents humorous speaking style +9321 perhaps their art is something only their parents can bear and because they practice such art all day long people honestly get a little tired around kids serious speaking style +9340 you know we all want to be someone who has watched but right now we want to watch ace ventura for the fourth time humorous speaking style +9341 it meant a connection to the world serious speaking style +9342 but on a scale of one to for eyebrow raises if indicates that you've discovered a new particle this eyebrow raise is about a four humorous speaking style +9344 better than that my theorist colleagues i love my theorist colleagues my theorist colleagues wrote papers about this little bump humorous speaking style +9347 i hope that's a non controversial statement humorous speaking style +9350 given the tone of the coverage you'd think that we had decided to shut down the and go home humorous speaking style +9352 then i would look at the stars and i would read about how well we understand gravity and i would think surely there must be some elegant way that these two systems match up serious speaking style +9353 it all started when we at cern saw something intriguing in our data a hint of a new particle an inkling of a possibly extraordinary answer to this question serious speaking style +9354 to discover new particles we need to reach these bigger numbers serious speaking style +9356 gravity may seem super strong to you but it's actually crazily weak compared to the other forces of nature serious speaking style +9359 we saw a weird looking alien bump on a distant mountain but once we got closer we saw it was a rock serious speaking style +9361 but someone maybe she's in school right now maybe she's not even born yet could eventually guide us to see physics in a completely new way and to point out that perhaps we're just asking the wrong questions serious speaking style +9362 the little boat in front of it was the one in which years later christopher columbus crossed the atlantic humorous speaking style +9364 this picture is really fuzzy i apologize i had a bad cold when i took it humorous speaking style +9366 new product from coke japan water salad humorous speaking style +9369 i don't want to get email from anybody i want to get humorous speaking style +9370 nobody humorous speaking style +9371 people are paying full price for both and the only thing they have in common is that they don't have anything in common humorous speaking style +9372 these guys make the loudest car stereo in the world humorous speaking style +9374 after you're cremated you can have yourself made into a gem humorous speaking style +9376 you don't have to like it but a tall dog made out of bushes in the middle of new york city is remarkable humorous speaking style +9377 but this guy named otto rohwedder invented sliced bread and he focused like most inventors did on the patent part and the making part serious speaking style +9378 that what we are living in is a century of idea diffusion serious speaking style +9379 the way the tv industrial complex works is you buy some ads interrupt some people that gets you distribution serious speaking style +9380 two of the big success stories of the last years in retail one sells things that are super expensive in a blue box and one sells things that are as cheap as they can make them serious speaking style +9381 they sold a billion dollars' worth of chairs by reinventing what it meant to sell a chair serious speaking style +9382 they didn't want to buy his bread serious speaking style +9384 and when you talk to them they'll listen because they like listening it's about them serious speaking style +9385 talk to them and make it easy for them to tell their friends serious speaking style +9387 the people who come up with stuff that's remarkable more often than not figure out how to put design to work for them serious speaking style +9388 very good is boring serious speaking style +9392 they talk quickly with a little higher pitch humorous speaking style +9393 and we wanted to call our pediatrician but we also didn't want to make a bad first impression or come across as a crazy neurotic parent serious speaking style +9396 you know i've been buzzed in the water humorous speaking style +9397 that was my point with that humorous speaking style +9399 now it's not a bad place to be a researcher either serious speaking style +9401 and it seemed that whenever there was a camera around or a video or film camera it was a great deal harder to do for those in power to bury the story serious speaking style +9410 this little syringe contains the moral molecule humorous speaking style +9411 we call them bastards humorous speaking style +9412 but interestingly high testosterone males are also more likely to use their own money to punish others for being selfish humorous speaking style +9413 and i took blood from the bride and the groom and the wedding party and the family and the friends before and immediately after the vows humorous speaking style +9414 give me a hug humorous speaking style +9415 of course if you don't like to touch people i can always shove this up your nose humorous speaking style +9416 and i personally am obsessed with morality serious speaking style +9417 one of them told me paul that is the world's idea serious speaking style +9418 in other words i thought i could design an experiment to see if oxytocin made people moral serious speaking style +9419 now luckily oxytocin is produced both in the brain and in the blood so i could do this experiment without learning neurosurgery serious speaking style +9420 so in these countries more economic transactions occur and more wealth is created alleviating poverty serious speaking style +9421 so what we do in my lab is we tempt people with virtue and vice by using money serious speaking style +9422 and secondly i'm a recovering humorous speaking style +9423 so it's actually than self love it's unrequited self love humorous speaking style +9425 buying it from us screams good taste humorous speaking style +9428 and the odds are seven to one against your finding the prince humorous speaking style +9431 that's how you get rationality serious speaking style +9437 i like to think of what i do as a probability wave serious speaking style +9438 what happens in vegas ends up on humorous speaking style +9439 management teams seem increasingly disconnected from their staff humorous speaking style +9440 and transparency allow companies to be in that room now serious speaking style +9441 they can give them more control over pricing which is what the band did with its pay like online release of its album in rainbows serious speaking style +9455 staring at you humorous speaking style +9458 and this led me to thinking about three different kinds of nights last night overnight all night long humorous speaking style +9460 then past used to and the last one which is my favorite with the very romantic and dramatic notion to it once upon a time humorous speaking style +9461 that means to fall in love in international sign humorous speaking style +9463 good job everyone humorous speaking style +9465 yet i realize now that that wasn't the case at all serious speaking style +9466 hence this drawing serious speaking style +9469 so i decided to reclaim ownership of sound and to put it into my art practice serious speaking style +9471 they help me to be heard serious speaking style +9472 and the same holds true for a concept in serious speaking style +9474 i was brought up like this i got used to doing it this way when i read a written word in simplified spelling my eyes hurt humorous speaking style +9475 neither the question nor the answer are new in the spanish language serious speaking style +9479 the test step take a moment to think about yourself humorous speaking style +9483 so givers spend a lot of time trying to help other people and improve the team and then unfortunately they suffer along the way serious speaking style +9485 that could be as simple as making an introduction between two people who could benefit from knowing each other serious speaking style +9486 the factor that stood out on the floors where help seeking was common where it was the norm was there was just one nurse whose sole job it was to help other nurses on the unit serious speaking style +9492 spock humorous speaking style +9493 who are on par with strangers humorous speaking style +9495 according to the american time use survey mothers still do twice as much childcare as fathers which is better than it was in erma day but i still think that something she wrote is highly relevant i have not been alone in the bathroom since october humorous speaking style +9497 i cannot tell you how much this distresses me humorous speaking style +9499 i see anxiety serious speaking style +9500 our roles as mothers and fathers have changed serious speaking style +9501 kids were considered economic assets serious speaking style +9503 the middle class now pours all of its time and energy and resources into its kids even though the middle class has less and less of those things to give serious speaking style +9507 let me show you how serious speaking style +9508 it's fucking freezing humorous speaking style +9510 he had been there and watched it go off serious speaking style +9532 alright humorous speaking style +9533 and that's absolutely correct serious speaking style +9538 and of course it's your stuff if it's broken humorous speaking style +9540 leonard bernstein said two things are necessary for great achievement a plan and not quite enough time humorous speaking style +9541 we need more of the courage of drag queens and astronauts humorous speaking style +9542 is all of a sudden becoming a tool for improving productivity humorous speaking style +9544 and there were a lot of tents humorous speaking style +9546 well that's just the price of progress we say serious speaking style +9547 we are now very comfortable imagining unimaginable technological achievement serious speaking style +9549 it's time we set foot into that dimension and came out about the fact that we have dreams there too serious speaking style +9580 i particularly like the little penguin in the back humorous speaking style +9581 a force more powerful is a video game that while you're playing it it teaches you how to engage in non violent insurrection and regime change humorous speaking style +9583 one of them is that every society has an ecological footprint serious speaking style +9584 now this this is a baby the cutest animal offspring in the animal kingdom humorous speaking style +9585 let me tell you this is not a humorous speaking style +9587 this is the lowland the species i work with the largest terrestrial mammal of south america serious speaking style +9589 so if you came here to talk about how french coffee will spread happiness in our brains that's a go humorous speaking style +9590 the most obvious visual thing on stage is the speaker serious speaking style +9592 for the second phase of the trials we just had different sizes small medium large and extra large humorous speaking style +9594 and those are usually the basic scientists the bottom is usually the surgeons humorous speaking style +9595 yet we're still dealing with a lot of the same challenges as many decades ago serious speaking style +9596 medicine is doing a better job of keeping us alive serious speaking style +9600 he checked into a humorous speaking style +9601 they said these are pathological curves and we don't have to discuss them humorous speaking style +9602 so i got a fulbright scholarship to just travel around africa for a year asking people why they were building which is a great job if you can get it humorous speaking style +9603 so some of these things i'd wander around the streets of dakar asking people what's the algorithm what's the rule for making this and they'd say well we just make it that way because it looks pretty stupid humorous speaking style +9605 and there's no particular reason why we have to start with this seed shape we can use any seed shape we like serious speaking style +9606 again we just take these lines and replace them with the whole shape serious speaking style +9608 so here's a little fractal model for it serious speaking style +9609 this is in the mountains near the nigerian border in cameroon serious speaking style +9616 i could be as short as five feet or as tall as i'd like humorous speaking style +9619 now i made sure to shave my legs last night because i knew i'd be showing them off humorous speaking style +9621 as you can see my legs are serious speaking style +9622 a world in which the paralyzed could walk via body serious speaking style +9624 we also took robotic tools here's a circle that goes around the biological limb serious speaking style +9625 with this framework we've produced limbs that are the most comfortable limbs i've ever worn serious speaking style +9626 they tend to prefer the puppet who has the same food tastes that they have and worse they actually prefer puppets who punish the puppet with the different food taste humorous speaking style +9629 the chair could collapse if you sit on it the apple might be poison the dog might not bark and in fact this is my dog tessie who doesn't bark serious speaking style +9630 but lions are very clever humorous speaking style +9631 since i was a small boy i used to work in my room for the whole day and i even took apart my mom's new radio and that day she almost killed me but i learned a lot about electronics humorous speaking style +9632 the lights flash and trick the lions into thinking i was walking around the but i was sleeping in my bed humorous speaking style +9633 ca electric fence but i know electric fences are already invented but i want to make mine humorous speaking style +9635 they kill our livestock serious speaking style +9636 and i think this is why the nairobi national park lions are few serious speaking style +9637 as you can see the solar panel charges the battery and the battery supplies the power to the small indicator box serious speaking style +9638 so i put the lights serious speaking style +9639 so one year ago i was just a boy in the savanna grassland herding my father's cows and i used to see planes flying over and i told myself that one day i'll be there inside serious speaking style +9640 weighing one to billion times the mass of our own sun these galactic black holes are devouring material at a rate of upwards of times more than your average black hole humorous speaking style +9641 here i'm showing an artist's conception of a serious speaking style +9643 now she harbored all sorts of sentiments and emotions towards me at the time but love was not amongst them humorous speaking style +9644 now organized crime has been around for a very long time i hear you say and these would be wise words indeed serious speaking style +9645 now it's time for full disclosure serious speaking style +9648 so our metaphors equate the experience of loving someone to extreme violence or illness humorous speaking style +9650 in the book of exodus alone there are references to which is the word that the bible uses for the vengeance of an angry god humorous speaking style +9654 i must really be doing this love thing right humorous speaking style +9655 this study from used blood tests to confirm that the serotonin levels of the newly in love very closely resembled the serotonin levels of people who had been diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder humorous speaking style +9656 and in fact and maybe you've heard this speaking going through a breakup is a lot like going through cocaine withdrawal which i find reassuring humorous speaking style +9657 that sounds terrible humorous speaking style +9658 falling is accidental it's uncontrollable serious speaking style +9659 and to think this through i want to focus on one metaphor in particular which is the idea of love as madness serious speaking style +9660 while i can no longer remember what that argument was about i very clearly remember how i felt watching him leave serious speaking style +9661 we made up serious speaking style +9662 but the good news is it doesn't always last that long usually from a few months to a couple of years serious speaking style +9663 they argue that metaphors really do shape the way we experience the world and that they can even act as a guide for future actions like self fulfilling prophecies serious speaking style +9667 or that relationship was shorter than i had planned but it was still kind of beautiful serious speaking style +9682 the age of the universe between now and the big bang is a hundred billion in dog years humorous speaking style +9685 that kind of makes sense to us serious speaking style +9709 this is about twice the of the united kingdom soon will be more considering where this country is going humorous speaking style +9710 you got to question everything that is told to you including what i just told you today humorous speaking style +9713 she was my childhood friend serious speaking style +9714 she also embraced violence serious speaking style +9715 in the the turnover of the red brigades on a yearly basis was seven million dollars serious speaking style +9716 so there's the guy on offense without the ball the ball and he goes next to the guy guarding the guy with the ball and he kind of stays there and they both move and stuff happens and ta da it's a pick humorous speaking style +9718 but for you we recreated that moment at our weekly basketball game about weeks ago humorous speaking style +9719 the crowd goes wild humorous speaking style +9720 i'm not going to tell you how many times it took us to make that happen humorous speaking style +9723 but there are things that for example basketball coaches want to know serious speaking style +9724 we taught it things like passes shots and rebounds serious speaking style +9725 basically things only professionals know serious speaking style +9726 it really depends on the exact timing the distances the locations and that's what makes it hard serious speaking style +9728 i won't go into details about what led to a decision i made but let's just say it involved alcohol cigarettes other substances and a woman humorous speaking style +9729 this man was very drunk and he was very interested in my camera until he noticed the women who handled him with smiles and at the ready of course humorous speaking style +9730 in i traveled to three war zones serious speaking style +9731 in i went to liberia where a group of my friends and i did an independent self funded film still in progress on a very legendary and brutal war lord named general butt naked serious speaking style +9734 so what happens here the second story also to illustrate another concept is called shifting waistline humorous speaking style +9757 ok so multi health systems is a software company and i hope that nobody here in this room ever comes into contact with that software because if you do it means you're in prison humorous speaking style +9758 many of you will humorous speaking style +9760 i'll have it out later for tech demos humorous speaking style +9762 he wants to engineer success serious speaking style +9765 even the most data savvy companies get it wrong serious speaking style +9766 so even the most data savvy companies amazon and they sometimes get it wrong serious speaking style +9767 you put all of these bits and pieces back together again to come to your conclusion serious speaking style +9771 now i am the first to acknowledge that statistics has got somewhat of an image problem humorous speaking style +9772 the official figures show actually it's nearer to three quarters humorous speaking style +9775 it was a long held ambition of mine to bring down a statistics website due to public demand humorous speaking style +9777 he got for his own area humorous speaking style +9782 so extraordinary variations and surprising to some but not surprising to people who have read the work of daniel for example the nobel winning economist serious speaking style +9783 so at the statistics office while this was all going on i thought this was really interesting serious speaking style +9785 i wanted everyone to engage with it serious speaking style +9786 there are seven questions serious speaking style +9789 in other words and i think you see where this is going no reason to live humorous speaking style +9790 very good humorous speaking style +9791 don't let the people counting down from interfere with your counting to humorous speaking style +9793 this will linger during the break so take advantage of the networking opportunities humorous speaking style +9796 and that's what i want to share with you today the top five regrets of the dying serious speaking style +9797 for example i wish i hadn't worked so hard serious speaking style +9799 and stanford university has been doing research for five years now to document how playing a game with an idealized changes how we think and act in real life making us more courageous more ambitious more committed to our goals serious speaking style +9802 now it's not always easy to push yourself and that's why they invented mothers humorous speaking style +9805 do it for love they don't do it for money serious speaking style +9806 norman said to me i think it all has to do with focusing yourself on one thing serious speaking style +9809 the bees like it in the city humorous speaking style +9810 in honeybees started disappearing so suddenly like this little nerd kid going to school working with bugs became very relevant in the world humorous speaking style +9813 if you're not a flower these bees do not care about you humorous speaking style +9814 they'll say me flying around humorous speaking style +9815 now this was a mystery in the new york times where the honey was very red and the new york state forensics department came in and they actually did some science to match the red dye with that found in a maraschino cherry factory down the street humorous speaking style +9816 honeybees die when they sting so they don't want to do it either humorous speaking style +9817 he probably has a queen bee tied to his chin and the other bees are attracted to it serious speaking style +9819 try to spot the beehive serious speaking style +9820 you can see the orientation serious speaking style +9821 we have tar paper on the rooftops that bounces heat back into the atmosphere contributing to global climate change no doubt serious speaking style +9822 and looking back historically at the timeline of honeybee health we can go back to the year and see that there was also a great mortality of bees in ireland serious speaking style +9823 perhaps there's more pollen in the city serious speaking style +9825 they don't experience this serious speaking style +9827 that's exactly what i do optical mind control humorous speaking style +9828 so it seems that the only trait that survives decapitation is vanity humorous speaking style +9829 you can think of this nagging inner voice as sort of the brain's equivalent of the catholic church if you're an austrian like me or the super ego if you're freudian or your mother if you're jewish humorous speaking style +9830 they say if we could record the activity of our neurons we would understand the brain serious speaking style +9831 so you're looking at roughly one percent of the brain of a cockroach serious speaking style +9832 but how an experienced code breaker will tell you that in order to figure out what the symbols in a code mean it's essential to be able to play with them to rearrange them at will serious speaking style +9844 i claim it was she says it was but it was one of those two years humorous speaking style +9845 they had an operation at princeton where they hired mathematicians to attack secret codes and stuff like that serious speaking style +9846 i was serious speaking style +9850 but then i suffered a series of career catastrophes one after the other and finally found myself in television humorous speaking style +9851 in the religious opinion religious orthodoxy is dismissed as self indulgent guesswork about matters that nobody can be certain of one way or the other but which makes people quarrelsome and stupidly sectarian humorous speaking style +9852 go and study it humorous speaking style +9853 i sometimes when i'm speaking to congregations about compassion i sometimes see a mutinous expression crossing some of their faces because a lot of religious people prefer to be right rather than compassionate humorous speaking style +9854 and while i found i knew nothing about these faiths at all despite my own intensely religious background i'd seen judaism only as a kind of prelude to christianity and i knew nothing about islam at all serious speaking style +9855 the word belief itself originally meant to love to prize to hold dear serious speaking style +9856 now pride of place in this practice is given to compassion serious speaking style +9857 first propounded by confucius five centuries before christ do not do to others what you would not like them to do to you serious speaking style +9858 and you learn until loops by repeating that sequence until mom gets really mad humorous speaking style +9860 my personal journey into the world of programming and technology started at the tender age of serious speaking style +9861 it started as a means of self expression serious speaking style +9862 they even hosted juice stations humorous speaking style +9863 for years the country has been divided between politics and religion serious speaking style +9865 it's so much fun i have it in my house but i have it in the entryway i don't use it to make juice humorous speaking style +9866 the acid will ruin the gold plating humorous speaking style +9868 but of course then the ball hits the other side the ripples hit the poor fish they can't find any peace and quiet humorous speaking style +9869 and of course what's especially good is if you type design and emotion the first response out of those pages is my website humorous speaking style +9870 it will squirt you all around and you can stay in that shower for hours and not waste water by the way because it the same dirty water humorous speaking style +9871 the other neat thing humorous speaking style +9872 i'm only saying positive things from now on humorous speaking style +9873 it's a delight to use serious speaking style +9875 oh well different story serious speaking style +9876 the controls work wonderfully serious speaking style +9877 intense fear paralyzes you serious speaking style +9878 and then a psychologist alice did this wonderful experiment serious speaking style +9879 still can't reach it serious speaking style +9881 things work better because you're more creative serious speaking style +9892 even these pictures and postcards of my london semester abroad years ago show that i obviously didn't care if i was perceived as weird or different humorous speaking style +9893 i told myself it was because i was growing up and maturing not that i was suddenly looking for acceptance serious speaking style +9894 upright walking ape as it was found at lake on the west side humorous speaking style +9895 and it is one of the most special things to ever do with your mother humorous speaking style +9896 and then you hope that one of us lot will walk around and find small pieces of you humorous speaking style +9897 and here is a skull of a homo which i just pulled off the shelf there humorous speaking style +9898 the question now is well who are we we're certainly a polluting wasteful aggressive species with a few nice things thrown in perhaps humorous speaking style +9899 we are the species called homo sapiens sapiens and it's important to remember that in terms of our place in the world today and our future on planet earth serious speaking style +9900 it's important to remember that we evolved serious speaking style +9901 when we then find something very important like the bones of a human ancestor we begin to excavate it extremely carefully and slowly using dental picks and fine paintbrushes serious speaking style +9902 but i was very lucky to have been brought up in kenya essentially accompanying my parents to lake in search of human remains serious speaking style +9903 he was very able to use stones effectively as tools serious speaking style +9904 but good thing i did because i don't look good in orange humorous speaking style +9906 then of course the next question is do you belong to any groups that wish to harm the united states i work at a university humorous speaking style +9907 don't want to make it look like i'm making any sudden moves humorous speaking style +9908 see that they won't let me on a plane with that but they'll give it to me on the plane humorous speaking style +9913 they're the ones who initiated this serious speaking style +9915 but they also are very used to having to deal with patients so i'd say that they sometimes lose the idea that this is torture for you and that you become literally a patient patient means the one who waits humorous speaking style +9916 i actually had to hack it and that's a thing which we can talk about in another speech humorous speaking style +9918 and everyone changes as well serious speaking style +9920 a cure whichever it is will have to deal with the whole of me serious speaking style +9921 surgery the follow up showed luckily little to no growth of the cancer serious speaking style +9924 their sexual behavior is too human like for most of us to be comfortable with humorous speaking style +9926 he's learning the uses for a fire just by watching what we do with fire humorous speaking style +9927 goodbye humorous speaking style +9928 she switches from reverse to forward and she holds onto the wheel rather than turns it humorous speaking style +9930 kanzi and are stimulated by this fun filled environment which promotes the emergence of these cultural capabilities humorous speaking style +9931 and i think perhaps somewhere in our history we sort of divided our lives up into lots of parts serious speaking style +9932 maybe it's something special in his brain that allows him to make tools or to have mathematics serious speaking style +9934 his mother originally came from a forest in africa serious speaking style +9935 as they turn toward us you'll see that the pelvic area of early is a little flatter and doesn't have to rotate quite so much from side to side serious speaking style +9936 slim bodied bonobos are by nature very gentle creatures serious speaking style +9938 i was and kids would say that were surprised that i didn't smell like curry humorous speaking style +9941 so this here my student got accepted to law school with scholarships and not to brag but i did write one of his letters of recommendation humorous speaking style +9942 so even though he will rely a lot on his grit to get him through that first year law school grind i'll be there as a mentor for him check in with him from time to time maybe take him out to get some curry humorous speaking style +9944 but in prison he started to work hard serious speaking style +9945 they basically pulled themselves up by the bootstraps serious speaking style +9947 what these stories primarily indicate is that teaching is social and benefits from social scaffolding serious speaking style +9964 but i will also contest that i'm not as nervous as i should be because i'm pretty sure i'm right about this humorous speaking style +9965 i did the thing and was very surprised to discover that i am fat and bald humorous speaking style +9966 and then one day i get a call from john doerr bill berkman and al gore on the same day saying return david phone call humorous speaking style +9969 so if i can make an analogy let's say that you were trying to tell the difference between a good restaurant a healthy restaurant and a sick restaurant and all you had was the list of ingredients that they had in their larder serious speaking style +9971 so what you can tell is you can tell the difference between an asian person and a european person by looking at their ingredients list serious speaking style +9973 i mean one day we would say and people were like foxes trotting humorous speaking style +9976 the physics of movement doesn't really give a crap about your gender humorous speaking style +9982 mountain roads day and night and even crooked lombard street in san francisco humorous speaking style +9984 when you see a vulture like this the first thing that comes to your mind is these are disgusting ugly greedy creatures that are just after your flesh associated with politicians humorous speaking style +9985 they really do humorous speaking style +9987 do you know why because do not keep the environment clean humorous speaking style +9990 recent studies have shown that in areas where there are no vultures carcasses take up to three to four times to decompose and this has huge ramifications for the spread of diseases serious speaking style +9992 the number of cases of rabies has increased tremendously in india serious speaking style +9995 i would say in some ways i change my gender about as often as i change my hairstyle humorous speaking style +9996 it's the best return on investment they ever received humorous speaking style +9999 i asked her to dance serious speaking style +10001 and while people may have the genitals of a male or a female the genitals don't determine your gender or even really your sexual identity serious speaking style +10004 it actually got so bad that somebody put our country up for sale on humorous speaking style +10005 none of your media got it right humorous speaking style +10006 from work or from home they took the day off and nothing worked in iceland humorous speaking style +10007 but i can surely tell you that in my country much like on wall street and the city of london and elsewhere men were at the helm of the game of the financial sector and that kind of lack of diversity and sameness leads to disastrous problems serious speaking style +10008 and together we got through the eye of the financial storm in iceland without taking any direct losses to our equity or to the funds of our clients serious speaking style +10009 but in at the height of the sub prime and all the complicated financial structures it was quite opposite to the reckless risk taking behaviors that we saw on the market serious speaking style +10011 then just staying above the earth for one more second people are acting like idiots all across the country humorous speaking style +10012 a couple of years ago broward county florida banned running at recess humorous speaking style +10013 five inch fishing lure it's a big fishing lure with a three pronged hook in the back and outside it said harmful if swallowed humorous speaking style +10014 he said hell we ain't got no rules around here we're trying to accomplish something humorous speaking style +10015 if you run a business it's hard to do much of anything without calling your general counsel serious speaking style +10016 and our guide was a local science teacher serious speaking style +10017 she said life's too short i just can't keep going with this serious speaking style +10018 now we've been taught to believe that law is the foundation of freedom serious speaking style +10019 and the total of direct tort cost in this country is about two percent which is twice as much as in other countries but as taxes go hardly crippling serious speaking style +10020 then we can do something harder humorous speaking style +10021 so we hired one humorous speaking style +10022 and you go from being a healthy robust old male to someone that cannot breathe cannot move cannot speak serious speaking style +10023 i want to talk about it in the context of a story serious speaking style +10040 but if you go to alley yeah humorous speaking style +10041 the people on alley are not the ones who shop at gucci humorous speaking style +10042 he said that one of the reasons he invented bebop was that he was pretty sure that white musicians wouldn't be able to replicate the sound humorous speaking style +10043 okay we'll move on humorous speaking style +10044 she's looking at the seams serious speaking style +10045 well it turns out that it's actually not illegal serious speaking style +10047 because there's no copyright protection in this industry there's a very open and creative ecology of creativity serious speaking style +10048 i decided to set a world record in crawling humorous speaking style +10052 the explosion had been caused by a water heater so nobody was hurt and ultimately it was not a big deal but later skip came up to me and said nice job caroline in this surprised sort of voice humorous speaking style +10055 and to give you an idea of the suffer fest that i was undergoing the first lap around the high school track took minutes serious speaking style +10056 and i became curious serious speaking style +10058 and yet we adults act as if girls are more fragile and more in need of help and they can't handle as much serious speaking style +10059 but on that mountaintop waiting for the wind to come in just right i felt so many other things too exhilaration confidence serious speaking style +10060 now i'm not saying your girls must be firefighters or that they should be but i am saying that we are raising our girls to be timid even helpless and it begins when we caution them against physical risk serious speaking style +10063 hand me one of those waters i'm extremely dry humorous speaking style +10066 i mean it's i have my friends therefore i am humorous speaking style +10068 you know i mean it's nice thank you humorous speaking style +10069 no i'm glad to have you parallel aging alongside me humorous speaking style +10071 because especially people you've known a long time people you've spent time with i can see the spiritual essence inside them the tenderness the vulnerability serious speaking style +10073 women's friendships are like a renewable source of power serious speaking style +10075 we need to make ourselves independent from fossil fuels serious speaking style +10076 that we will be there will be more democracy and more jobs and more well being and it's women that are going to lead the way serious speaking style +10078 well yes you can if you move their food humorous speaking style +10079 and when we realize that working on our inner life is working on our outer life and outer work is inner work we get down to what is real and shit gets done humorous speaking style +10080 for a couple of years i had noticed a rash on the sides of elizabeth's neck that looked like prickly heat serious speaking style +10081 it turns out by chance this dermatologist also trained in ophthalmology serious speaking style +10082 what you see over here this yellow thing this is not a death ray humorous speaking style +10083 welcome to the robotics mechanisms laboratory at virginia tech humorous speaking style +10084 for those who probably know if you don't have any sensors and there's any disturbances you know what happens humorous speaking style +10085 and the actual goal of is by the year we want to have full size autonomous robots play soccer against the human world cup champions and win humorous speaking style +10086 and it's trying to show off its ability i'm macho i'm strong humorous speaking style +10089 this is an actual dynamic simulation animation serious speaking style +10090 we call that the concept of passive dynamic locomotion serious speaking style +10091 we had so many motors aligning the joints and those kinds of things serious speaking style +10092 it stands for intelligent mobility platform with spoke system serious speaking style +10093 and just by the tactile information it successfully crosses over these types of terrains serious speaking style +10096 in other words we can't create supermodel mice humorous speaking style +10099 and this is actually what it looks like hundreds of blood vessels all growing toward the center of the wound serious speaking style +10100 you will basically not be able to distinguish them and the exception of course will be guinness humorous speaking style +10101 and the expensive pain medication worked better serious speaking style +10102 for women housework prevents breast cancer but for men shopping could make you impotent humorous speaking style +10103 it's like a consenting intellectual activity humorous speaking style +10105 but that's because people who eat fruit and and olive oil are freaks they're not normal they're like you they come to events like this humorous speaking style +10106 that doesn't mean it's the vegetables or olive oil humorous speaking style +10110 and i think that's the funniest epidemiology joke you will ever hear humorous speaking style +10111 these are from the daily mail serious speaking style +10112 this one belongs to my dead cat hettie serious speaking style +10113 so red wine can help prevent breast cancer serious speaking style +10114 actually it turns out that your risk of breast cancer increases slightly with every amount of alcohol you drink serious speaking style +10115 i'm going to tell you about one trial which is probably the most well reported trial in the news media over the past decade serious speaking style +10117 that's an outrageous and ridiculous finding but it's true serious speaking style +10119 you can give the competing drug in too high a dose so people get side effects serious speaking style +10124 he used to keep a gorilla suit in the trunk of his car and he'd say it's for emergencies only humorous speaking style +10125 and i was like whoa i guess we get to say anything out loud humorous speaking style +10126 i was working as an internist and paul was finishing his training as a neurosurgeon when he started to lose weight serious speaking style +10127 we learned directly how to struggle through really tough medical decisions serious speaking style +10142 the email itself was from another very sexy european type ted curator chris anderson humorous speaking style +10148 of course he was humorous speaking style +10150 the hour from night to day serious speaking style +10151 groucho marx charlie you should have come to the first party serious speaking style +10156 there's a very cute example here from calvin and hobbes serious speaking style +10157 if this is confirmation bias there is so much confirmation i am biased serious speaking style +10176 and now all bets are off humorous speaking style +10177 now imagine someone as twisted as me trying to build a house humorous speaking style +10179 and so this is framing lumber composite materials and it's kind of hard to get the embodied energy out of that but it can be a sustainable resource if you use certified lumber serious speaking style +10180 when it comes time to if you use it's about a quarter of the embodied energy of standard serious speaking style +10183 i call this the alpha piece serious speaking style +10184 he knew before he arrived that the foundation was going to be live streaming his event but what he didn't know until he turned up was that they'd erected a giant screen feed right next to his head humorous speaking style +10187 so justine chuckled to herself and pressed send and got no replies and felt that sad feeling that we all feel when the internet doesn't congratulate us for being funny humorous speaking style +10188 you are the worldwide number one trending topic on humorous speaking style +10190 and one internet economist told me that that meant that made somewhere between dollars and dollars from annihilation whereas those of us doing the actual shaming we got nothing humorous speaking style +10191 it didn't go down that well with some people humorous speaking style +10192 we could hit them with a weapon that we understood but they didn't a social media shaming serious speaking style +10193 let me tell you a story serious speaking style +10196 you know another woman on that night a new statesman writer helen lewis she reviewed my book on public shaming and wrote that she that night i'm not sure that her joke was intended to be racist and she said straightaway she got a fury of saying well you're just a privileged bitch too serious speaking style +10197 justine was really uniting a lot of disparate groups that night from philanthropists to rape the bitch serious speaking style +10198 employee in question currently unreachable on an flight serious speaking style +10199 we knew something that justine didn't serious speaking style +10200 and i would try and crack these jokes but she caught on to me really quickly and whenever i tried to make a joke she would look at me and say that is actually really sad humorous speaking style +10201 i loved her but with the ferocity that a child has sometimes before she understands that love also requires letting go serious speaking style +10208 and i was reminded how utterly wrong i am so much of the time humorous speaking style +10212 you know aristotle says a tragedy is that moment when the hero comes face to face with his true identity humorous speaking style +10213 and i'm standing there with two testicles on my chin humorous speaking style +10215 and i talk to him humorous speaking style +10218 and he points out there humorous speaking style +10219 my responsibility is to get you home rich humorous speaking style +10220 good grief not to this crowd humorous speaking style +10222 i'm an apprentice and i work with the people who do the jobs in question serious speaking style +10224 albert is the shepherd in question serious speaking style +10228 literally the transition from ignorance to knowledge is serious speaking style +10231 people with dirty jobs are happier than you think serious speaking style +10233 he didn't follow his passion serious speaking style +10234 so i started to look at passion i started to look at efficiency vs serious speaking style +10239 you know our tools today don't look like shovels and picks serious speaking style +10241 they're two sides of the same coin just like innovation and imitation like risk and responsibility like and like that poor little lamb who i hope isn't quivering anymore and like my time that's gone serious speaking style +10246 hey we live in a very noxious world humorous speaking style +10247 step back give your mother a break okay humorous speaking style +10248 without them humanity cannot survive serious speaking style +10249 and i walked up to the bedside of an old woman who was breathing very rapidly fragile obviously in the latter phase of active dying serious speaking style +10250 that would be an olympic event turn a squirrel loose whoever catches it gets a gold medal humorous speaking style +10252 the uterus would literally fall out of the body humorous speaking style +10254 well emily baer runners she finishes in eighth place in the top even though she stopped at all the aid stations to breastfeed her baby during the race humorous speaking style +10256 i'm not ready humorous speaking style +10259 come with us serious speaking style +10260 go serious speaking style +10261 when you have two in one organism it's not a coincidence serious speaking style +10262 when the arrived in north america you had two choices you either fight back and engage or you could take off serious speaking style +10266 and in the words of malcolm gladwell crack cocaine was the extra chunky version of tomato sauce for the inner city humorous speaking style +10267 now was lucky he was such a freak and that clipboard probably saved his life because they figured no other rival gang member would be coming up to shoot at them with a clipboard humorous speaking style +10272 and you and i probably faced with the situation would think i guess i'm going to write my dissertation on the grateful dead i've been following them for the last three months humorous speaking style +10273 and especially for me as i sat in my office with my excel spreadsheet open waiting for to come and deliver to me the latest load of data that he would get from the gang humorous speaking style +10275 it's amazing but the top level of the gang they actually call themselves the board of directors humorous speaking style +10276 got to know very well the guy who had the unfortunate assignment of trying to take the iowa franchise which it turned out for this black gang was not one of the more brilliant financial endeavors they undertook humorous speaking style +10277 it turns out the death rates on death row from all causes including execution two percent a year humorous speaking style +10278 i think the gang member says it much more than the economist about what's going on humorous speaking style +10280 and it never would really occur to an economist that this idea of and could really be important humorous speaking style +10284 and for the people who were there running the gang it was a great way seemingly to make a lot of money serious speaking style +10285 and in his own words he looked like a freak serious speaking style +10286 he took one look at who was going to go do some surveys for him and decided he knew exactly the place to send him which was to one of the toughest most notorious housing projects not just in chicago but in the entire united states serious speaking style +10288 and they're the ones who basically make the profit or lose a profit depending on how good they are at running the business serious speaking style +10289 so the same kids who are working in the gang were actually at the very same time typically working part time at a place like mcdonald's serious speaking style +10290 it was below the minimum wage serious speaking style +10292 the money looks about the same serious speaking style +10293 to put it into perspective if you compare this to the soldiers in iraq for instance right now fighting the war serious speaking style +10294 so what happened was the people who happened to be in the right place at the right time the people who happened to be leading the gang in the mid became very very wealthy serious speaking style +10295 they were willing to start at the bottom just like say a first year lawyer at a law firm is willing to start at the bottom work weeks for not that much money because they think they're going to make partner serious speaking style +10296 and they didn't really have gold jewelry they had gold plated jewelry serious speaking style +10297 let me do one last thing i hadn't thought i'd have time to do which is to talk about what we learned more generally about economics from the study of the gang serious speaking style +10298 it's as if you reduced all of the world's cuisines down to airline food humorous speaking style +10299 these aren't palaces or cathedrals serious speaking style +10304 right so when institutions are told they are obstacles and that there are other ways of coordinating the value they go through something a little bit like the kubler ross stages of reaction being told you have a fatal illness denial anger bargaining acceptance humorous speaking style +10305 and you can see why from point of view that's a bad idea right we hired this programmer he came in he drank our cokes and played for three years and he had one idea humorous speaking style +10306 right bad hire humorous speaking style +10307 now this is the part of the talk where i tell you what's going to come as a result of all of this but i'm running out of time which is good because i don't know humorous speaking style +10309 you found an institution and you use the institution to coordinate the activities of the group serious speaking style +10310 some people get less dressed up serious speaking style +10311 is a photo sharing service that allows people to take photos them share them over the web and so forth serious speaking style +10314 if you're thinking it's ironic that i asked people to download another app so that they would spend less time on their phones yeah but you gotta meet people where they are humorous speaking style +10315 that is exactly the behavior that the technology is built to trigger humorous speaking style +10316 as one designer told me the only people who refer to their customers as users are drug dealers and technologists humorous speaking style +10319 i deleted the game two dots and nearly cried humorous speaking style +10320 i was one of the first people into belgrade when there was a revolution in serbia serious speaking style +10321 i created my dream job hosting a public radio show serious speaking style +10323 i updated my calendar while i was sitting on the couch serious speaking style +10325 totally awesome right so this is my brain in an and i learned that in the default mode is when we connect disparate ideas we solve some of our most nagging problems and we do something called autobiographical planning serious speaking style +10326 so switch switch switch you're using glucose glucose glucose serious speaking style +10327 we also found strangely enough that the shorter the amount of sleep that a person gets the more likely they are to check serious speaking style +10329 this particular reel it's an industrial video but it was shown in drive in theaters in in the detroit area in fact and it preceded alfred hitchcock's psycho humorous speaking style +10330 we use words like grasp metaphorically to also think about understanding things serious speaking style +10331 there was one held in detroit here last summer and it will be held again next summer at the henry ford serious speaking style +10335 and we have had a speaker who said that very thing and swallowed a sword right after that which was quite dramatic humorous speaking style +10340 ghana becomes independent so it is just over years ago serious speaking style +10342 i don't know if he's bare chested but it kind of feels like it humorous speaking style +10343 so i ran on down to the junior college registered for some classes ran on back and basically was like i'm thinking about my future now humorous speaking style +10344 so when i randomly ran down to the junior college and registered for classes i really wasn't paying attention to what i was registering to humorous speaking style +10345 i got this humorous speaking style +10347 it was poorly let's just put it that way humorous speaking style +10348 when can we talk because we need to talk humorous speaking style +10349 there was so much history that we would have to go through to try to explain that and that's something i try to do with them anyways serious speaking style +10353 above you right here on the slide is a painting by frans serious speaking style +10355 i want to show you something serious speaking style +10376 but i gave him the money because i was from riverdale so i had more money than he did humorous speaking style +10378 but you know we said david who's going to know they're not humorous speaking style +10380 and he noticed a large stain in the center of the rug humorous speaking style +10381 maybe amongst themselves they had a few good laughs but stalin was a paranoid man even more than my father humorous speaking style +10382 but in her lexicon sorry the rest unknown thank you is sorry the rest unknown go to hell because she couldn't care less humorous speaking style +10383 so and that's a song about how everybody's miserable because you know we're from russia humorous speaking style +10384 and she said i knew it was he humorous speaking style +10385 i think the family should open a store there and sell chocolate humorous speaking style +10386 and then my aunt frances dies and before she died she tried to pay with low packets for her bagel humorous speaking style +10387 so i was fortunate enough to be born a very dreamy child serious speaking style +10388 and we started a studio serious speaking style +10390 so i hopefully am writing you know books that are good for children and for adults serious speaking style +10391 and the chair in the background is my favorite chair serious speaking style +10392 it really scares me because my life is too random and too confused and i enjoy it that way serious speaking style +10393 and with him i was able to do a project that was really fantastic serious speaking style +10395 well susan this is a fine mess you are in serious speaking style +10396 so what i did when i was painting was i started singing because i really adore singing and i think that music is the highest form of all art serious speaking style +10397 i'm going to read quickly and probably i'm going to edit some because i don't have that much time left a few of the columns serious speaking style +10402 of course sea cucumbers shoot them out their rears which in my opinion makes them much more interesting a superhero humorous speaking style +10404 so imagine a great white shark and a giant squid in the same bathroom humorous speaking style +10405 so you have to make a living cartooning serious speaking style +10407 but that day i flew low over the islands it was a family trip to the caribbean and i flew in a small plane low over the islands serious speaking style +10418 i'm just going to throw this into an orbit and see if i can paint everybody's shoes in the front humorous speaking style +10420 this little boy is looking up at his father and he says daddy when i grow up i want to be a former president humorous speaking style +10422 there are a couple of reasons for this that i'll mention to begin with serious speaking style +10425 ninety percent of everything is crap so there's this to prove that sturgeon was correct humorous speaking style +10427 by the way you reacted i can see your lack of interest humorous speaking style +10431 now no no no serious speaking style +10434 audience member the black card serious speaking style +10435 he said it could be a high spade or a low spade serious speaking style +10438 what i wanted to be was an archaeologist of the past a discoverer of literature an indiana jones without the whip or actually with the whip humorous speaking style +10439 in fact just before african scholars had collected a random assortment of old books and left them out for the terrorists to burn serious speaking style +10448 i gotta get back out my baseball ability here humorous speaking style +10449 people have used microscopes to look at the microbes that cover us i know you're not paying attention to me but humorous speaking style +10450 and i was getting up every five minutes to pee and drinking everybody's water at the table and i think they all thought i was a humorous speaking style +10451 that night i was taken into the emergency room and diagnosed as a type diabetic in full blown serious speaking style +10452 and so we just heard about the sequencing serious speaking style +10453 and that comes back to the diabetes story i was telling you serious speaking style +10455 they would not leave me alone until i let them have a piece but it was not a good one humorous speaking style +10456 mr humorous speaking style +10460 in appearance he resembled mahatma gandhi minus the loincloth plus orthopedic boots serious speaking style +10461 he had friends in high places who assured him that he was of great value to the economy serious speaking style +10463 but it slightly bores me humorous speaking style +10466 and so i applied to and they turned me down humorous speaking style +10467 so we were told to build no more models we were incompetent humorous speaking style +10468 i have nothing to do no qualifications for anything humorous speaking style +10469 and i read it and it was just it was crap humorous speaking style +10470 so we were happy humorous speaking style +10471 so you know if it didn't work this way you might as well believe it because you didn't have any other scheme humorous speaking style +10472 it was really you know sort of a time humorous speaking style +10474 and i'm smiling sort of forced i think because the girl i had boy she was gone humorous speaking style +10475 no use for it humorous speaking style +10476 ok humorous speaking style +10479 and oh that's the book little book serious speaking style +10480 but wilkins you know thought was the best bet and he showed this x ray photograph serious speaking style +10481 i mean in those days it was the domain of the physicists serious speaking style +10482 not solve it like you know in rigorous fashion but build a model an electro model using some coordinates of you know length all that sort of stuff from x ray photographs serious speaking style +10483 and certainly neither crick or i were chemists so we tried to build a model serious speaking style +10484 he'll build a model and then we're going to be scooped serious speaking style +10485 rosalind franklin was leaving in about two months and after she left he would start building models serious speaking style +10486 and so crick and i you know started building models and i'd learned a little chemistry but not enough serious speaking style +10487 he said they were wrong serious speaking style +10488 the next five years there were essentially something like five references to our work in nature none serious speaking style +10489 so that's the first cracking of the genetic code and it was all over by serious speaking style +10491 and you can see on the top that cancers which are bad show or deletions serious speaking style +10494 i witnessed my brothers and my siblings continuously stopped and frisked by law enforcement serious speaking style +10498 we have real specific instructions here not to talk about politics humorous speaking style +10500 oh it's going to be so much fun humorous speaking style +10502 al gore invented the internet and because of that something that we used for a whole year excuse me a whole decade for fun became everything our commerce our research our communication and if we let the guys think for another couple weekends we can add a dozen more things to the list humorous speaking style +10504 it started in when the wright brothers flew in paris and everybody said ooh hey i can do that serious speaking style +10506 i spent about seven years during the vietnam war flight testing airplanes for the air force serious speaking style +10507 the most impressive airplane ever i believe was designed only a dozen years after the first operational jet serious speaking style +10509 being that hungry has left an interesting mental scar which is that i've been up every hotel buffet that i can find humorous speaking style +10510 but as bob hope put it i feel very humble but i think i have the strength of character to fight it humorous speaking style +10514 every life form on this planet every insect every bacteria every plant every animal every human every politician is coded in that stuff humorous speaking style +10515 and it's beginning to tell us a lot about evolution humorous speaking style +10516 it will read like this humorous speaking style +10519 take a simple sentence humorous speaking style +10520 this is the way it should be seen humorous speaking style +10522 and if you want to get more specific it's actually specific zip codes humorous speaking style +10523 not integrated circuits indians and chinese humorous speaking style +10524 moderator two minutes humorous speaking style +10525 and when they were subject to the plague most people didn't survive but those who survived had a mutation on the receptor serious speaking style +10527 and we're finding amoebas like this serious speaking style +10528 this funky little thing people didn't used to think that it was worth taking samples out of nuclear reactors because it was dangerous and of course nothing lived there serious speaking style +10531 i mean george bush he's going to be gone alright life isn't serious speaking style +10532 they can't do it naturally so what they do with this thing is they take a spoon take some cells out of an adult mouth code take the cells from that and insert it into a fertilized cow's egg reprogram cow's egg different gene code serious speaking style +10533 and when we learn how to close the gene gaps then we can put a full string of together serious speaking style +10534 huge gene sequencing facilities the size of football fields serious speaking style +10535 this changes all rules serious speaking style +10537 no one put a curse on my mother's uterus and i didn't get it because my parents are first cousins which they are humorous speaking style +10539 or maybe not serious speaking style +10544 i prefer blood shift humorous speaking style +10547 national record attempt serious speaking style +10548 andy andy how are you doing she said using the name of my older brother humorous speaking style +10549 early filer and late filer humorous speaking style +10551 so it turned out that starting a council of dads was a very efficient way to find out what my wife really thought of my friends humorous speaking style +10552 and when i have no more love left i just drink milk because that's where love comes from humorous speaking style +10553 i was like david cries when you invite him to take a walk humorous speaking style +10554 that's why they were called ape hangers serious speaking style +10555 i was for all the world the walking guy serious speaking style +10556 i have cancer serious speaking style +10557 would they wonder who i was i thought serious speaking style +10559 my wife as i said she grew up outside of boston serious speaking style +10562 the nearest land was antarctica and the nearest people would be those manning the european space station above me humorous speaking style +10563 that's what it's like in the southern ocean humorous speaking style +10564 no one wears trousers with a quite that high in this day and age humorous speaking style +10566 finally i bought a tiny dinghy serious speaking style +10567 just like in my dreams there were amazing parts and tough parts serious speaking style +10584 when it's degrees below zero humorous speaking style +10591 i have never forgiven him for that thing i made up in my head humorous speaking style +10592 i will be swimming around in you for the rest of your life i told my slightly horrified sister humorous speaking style +10595 i'll never forget the magic that would happen when a woman stopped resisting the pain and opened serious speaking style +10596 albert einstein called this state this dimension only being serious speaking style +10600 we didn't have the kind of the relationship where we talked about the deeper stuff but like many siblings and like people in all kinds of relationships we were hesitant to tell our truths to reveal our wounds to admit our wrongdoings serious speaking style +10602 i was paid in love serious speaking style +10632 but sometimes i try to put myself in that position humorous speaking style +10636 and in fact you could say that the expansion of the empire was really sort of one long drawn out militarized shopping spree really humorous speaking style +10637 but anyway this is it's food at the center of life at the center of family life being celebrated being enjoyed people taking time for it humorous speaking style +10638 we live in places like this as if they're the most natural things in the world forgetting that because we're animals and that we need to eat we're actually as dependent on the natural world as our ancient ancestors were serious speaking style +10639 by it's estimated that twice the number of us are going to be living in cities serious speaking style +10644 he'd always walk up to his airplane in a kind of saunter devil saunter flick the cigarette away grab the girl waiting here give her a kiss humorous speaking style +10648 she said but it's too high humorous speaking style +10652 it did mine serious speaking style +10653 you had to learn about aeronautics serious speaking style +10654 well the act of drawing airplanes led me to when i had the opportunity to choose a course in school led me to sign up for aeronautical engineering serious speaking style +10656 and i couldn't choose airplanes because they had gotten sort of at that point even though i'd done a lot of airplane work on the interiors serious speaking style +10658 so it causes a lot of inner conflict you know like part of me likes me part of me hates me humorous speaking style +10659 because if you only have the iranian passport you're kind of limited to the countries you can go to with open arms you know syria venezuela north korea humorous speaking style +10663 i was in dubai serious speaking style +10665 and i got it in my head that all the indians must be workers serious speaking style +10666 until you forget humorous speaking style +10667 in fact most people who get it don't even know they've had it serious speaking style +10703 this first one internet zero up here this is a web server that has the cost and complexity of an tag about a dollar that can go in every light bulb and doorknob and this is getting commercialized very quickly serious speaking style +10704 fungible goods in economics can be extended and traded serious speaking style +10709 they know humorous speaking style +10710 it feels like the united nations here serious speaking style +10713 you must be doing something right humorous speaking style +10714 so it was the spread of tuberculosis and the spread of cholera that i was responsible for inhibiting serious speaking style +10715 i had been traveling to one country after another serious speaking style +10716 i grabbed hold of it sat down and ate my breakfast with my pigs humorous speaking style +10717 this is the result of my hobby which is unofficial bin inspections humorous speaking style +10720 i thought my goodness what taboo have i broken how have i insulted my host he pointed at three grains of rice at the bottom of my bowl and he said clean humorous speaking style +10721 this guy has thrashed me at my own game humorous speaking style +10722 we knew that during the war humorous speaking style +10723 i went to the local baker and took their stale bread serious speaking style +10724 so i took the food supply of every single country and i compared it to what was actually likely to be being consumed in each country serious speaking style +10725 as a country gets richer it invests more and more in getting more and more surplus into its shops and restaurants and as you can see most european and north american countries fall between and percent of the nutritional requirements of their populations serious speaking style +10726 a country like america has four times the amount of food that it needs serious speaking style +10727 but what we have to recognize now is that we are reaching the ecological limits that our planet can bear and when we chop down forests as we are every day to grow more and more food when we extract water from depleting water reserves when we emit fossil fuel emissions in the quest to grow more and more food and then we throw away so much of it we have to think about what we can start saving serious speaking style +10732 so that's probably a bit of a counter intuitive idea so i'll say it again let it sink in if we want to solve problems like hunger poverty climate change global conflict obesity i believe that we need to aspire to play games online for at least billion hours a week by the end of the next decade humorous speaking style +10733 this picture pretty much sums up why i think games are so essential to the future survival of the human species humorous speaking style +10734 this is a gamer who's on the verge of something called an epic win humorous speaking style +10735 first of all for children in the united states hours is the exact amount of time you will spend in school from fifth grade to high school graduation if you have perfect attendance humorous speaking style +10737 okay we can do that humorous speaking style +10738 you know jerry bruckheimer movies you form a dream team you've got the astronaut the scientist the ex convict and they all have something to do to save the world humorous speaking style +10739 some of you might be thinking that's a lot of time to spend playing games serious speaking style +10740 this is a gamer on the verge of an epic win serious speaking style +10741 good serious speaking style +10742 but i also mean good as in motivated to do something that matters inspired to collaborate and to cooperate serious speaking style +10744 they never give you a challenge you can't achieve serious speaking style +10745 you guys have heard of leveling up strength intelligence serious speaking style +10746 and up to around age or these functions are all intact and as i look at the young audience here in the room we're all still fine humorous speaking style +10747 so we teach them over several days to find this space on these cues in the space and you can compare this for humans to finding your car in a parking lot after a busy day of shopping humorous speaking style +10748 they didn't find it serious speaking style +10749 but we usually have to wait until the person dies to get the brain and look at how it really changed through age or in a disease serious speaking style +10752 great creativity can spread tolerance champion freedom make education seem like a bright idea humorous speaking style +10753 science is clever but great creativity is something less more magical serious speaking style +10754 take a tune sing high when they sing low sing fast when they sing slow and you've got a new tune humorous speaking style +10756 spoiler alert unlocking your phone by sliding an icon with your finger humorous speaking style +10757 i'm going to destroy android because it's a stolen product humorous speaking style +10758 now the grey album is a serious speaking style +10759 i think everything is a and i think this is a better way to conceive of creativity serious speaking style +10765 we had to deal with images from films like the day after tomorrow humorous speaking style +10766 and the audience for such a long time was in a position where they didn't have any way of affecting news or making any change serious speaking style +10770 but that doesn't prevent them from both being completely false humorous speaking style +10772 and that's despite the fact that a supernova is so bright so brilliant an event that it would kill you stone dead at a range of several light years humorous speaking style +10773 originally meant quasi stellar object which means things that look a bit like stars humorous speaking style +10774 it would be a bit like experiencing a supernova explosion but at point blank range and for millions of years at a time humorous speaking style +10775 or is it now actually that's just another parochial misconception humorous speaking style +10779 if you've been punched on the nose then the science of medicine does not consist of teaching you how to avoid punches humorous speaking style +10781 and that is how un typical this place is serious speaking style +10782 that is the growth of knowledge serious speaking style +10786 and the limiting factor there and here is not resources because they're plentiful but knowledge which is scarce serious speaking style +10787 now i don't think that probability is the right category to discuss this issue in but i do agree with him about this we can survive and we can fail to survive serious speaking style +10788 so let me now apply this to a current controversy not because i want to advocate any particular solution but just to illustrate the kind of thing i mean serious speaking style +10789 so it's already too late to avoid it and it probably has been too late to avoid it ever since before anyone realized the danger serious speaking style +10793 so look you don't have to like what they do but you do have to respect the entrepreneurial nature of their endeavors humorous speaking style +10795 there is also a widely held belief that by blaming an attack on a nation state you are putting regulators at bay at least for a period of time serious speaking style +10798 the answer is the first poem was generated by an algorithm called that was created back in the and the second poem was written by a guy called frank o'hara who happens to be one of my favorite human poets humorous speaking style +10799 therefore according to the logic of the reverse turing test gertrude stein is a computer humorous speaking style +10802 have a go poem little fly thy summer's play my thoughtless hand has away serious speaking style +10803 so let's try another test serious speaking style +10804 if shivering is a form of meditation then i would consider myself a monk humorous speaking style +10805 i was hooked humorous speaking style +10806 and once we got there the vehicles were just as creative snowmobiles six wheel soviet troop carriers and a couple of super sketchy helicopter flights humorous speaking style +10809 the air a brisk with windchill and i could literally feel the blood trying to leave my hands feet and face and rush to protect my vital organs serious speaking style +10811 but there was just this one problem serious speaking style +10812 so if i was going to find perfect waves it was probably going to happen somewhere cold where the seas are notoriously rough and that's exactly where i began to look serious speaking style +10813 and i told myself there's not a chance you're getting out of the water serious speaking style +10821 so i spent the next years reading about crows in my spare time humorous speaking style +10822 and in return we just tried to kill them all the time humorous speaking style +10823 so keep in mind she's never seen this done humorous speaking style +10825 so that's the part where the researchers freak out humorous speaking style +10826 and they were entertained to discover that for the rest of the week whenever these particular students walked around campus these crows would caw at them and run around and make their life kind of miserable humorous speaking style +10827 until they finally graduated and left campus and glad to get away i'm sure came back sometime later and found the crows still remembered them humorous speaking style +10828 so now students at the university of washington that are studying these crows do so with a giant wig and a big mask humorous speaking style +10829 so i built the vending machine serious speaking style +10830 and out of those nine tenths of the human growth population is occurring in cities serious speaking style +10831 she's a new caledonian crow serious speaking style +10832 now every crow within five kilometers is standing by a sidewalk waiting to collect its lunch serious speaking style +10833 and as we heard yesterday that's the pandora's box that's getting human beings in trouble and we're starting to see it with them serious speaking style +10834 and it uses training to shape their behavior over four stages serious speaking style +10835 then they leave the machine spits up more coins and peanuts and life is dandy if you're a crow you can come back anytime and get yourself a peanut serious speaking style +10836 they do that here and that knocks the coins down the slot serious speaking style +10838 i mean look at them at the end of this movie you actually feel something for two pieces of furniture humorous speaking style +10841 instead they were all how should i put it they were all kind of robotic humorous speaking style +10842 and here when you see the robot interacting with me on a desktop and i'm actually redesigning the robot so unbeknownst to itself it's kind of digging its own grave by helping me humorous speaking style +10844 i actually participated in a play i hope no video of that around still humorous speaking style +10845 and i was really amazed because my name was the second name on the list the previous name was in humorous speaking style +10846 whatever that means humorous speaking style +10847 i think humorous speaking style +10848 and i learned two surprising lessons serious speaking style +10849 we were folding up a lot of folding chairs and i was amazed at how quickly we found our own rhythm serious speaking style +10850 you have to use your sense memory to reconstruct the emotions and kind of think with your body to find the right expression improvise play off your scene partner serious speaking style +10852 and it's a little bit like what you might see actors do when they try to mirror each other to find the right between them serious speaking style +10853 the other got more the stage actor risk taker brain serious speaking style +10854 and i thought music that's the perfect place to look at teamwork coordination timing improvisation and we just got this robot playing marimba serious speaking style +10856 now it's looking at me showing that it's listening serious speaking style +10858 everything that smelling in here is made up of atoms that come from what i call the upper east side of the periodic table a nice safe neighborhood humorous speaking style +10861 how all right now when people ask this kind of question they neglect something which is that physicists are really clever unlike biologists humorous speaking style +10862 but it has a certain it has a certain ring to it which is attractive to people who read too much century german literature humorous speaking style +10865 and then will come what they call the heart the lush heart note serious speaking style +10867 a very expensive high school chemistry education serious speaking style +10870 you have a molecule coming in it gets into the protein which is schematic here and it causes this thing to switch to turn to move in some way by binding in certain parts serious speaking style +10872 well i would really love to know what you would do on the first monday morning but here's what i did i panicked humorous speaking style +10873 but it is even more remarkable if you consider where we had been just a few years ago serious speaking style +10874 and i say that sincerely partly because i need that humorous speaking style +10880 driving ourselves humorous speaking style +10882 there was no motorcade back there humorous speaking style +10885 we went in and sat down at the booth and the waitress came over made a big commotion over tipper humorous speaking style +10888 but i wanted to elaborate on a couple of these serious speaking style +10889 but they are also very effective in deflecting our path serious speaking style +10890 at the current levels of technological efficiency can make this much difference serious speaking style +10891 insulation better design serious speaking style +10893 and what it means is elaborated at serious speaking style +10894 integrate climate solutions into all of your innovations whether you are from the technology or entertainment or design and architecture community serious speaking style +10895 become a catalyst of change serious speaking style +10900 why did she say that because it was a line from our chinese parallel susan boyle a year old woman a vegetable vendor in shanghai who loves singing western opera but she didn't understand any english or french or italian so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in chinese humorous speaking style +10901 well being different is not that difficult serious speaking style +10902 now i could look at my hand for two weeks and i wouldn't feel any awe or wonder because i can't compose humorous speaking style +10903 i was at a ski resort in switzerland without any money to actually enjoy myself because the snow had melted and i didn't have money to go to a movie serious speaking style +10908 so as good citizens we clean up the beaches and no he is not drinking alcohol and if he is i did not give it to him humorous speaking style +10909 and let me tell you kids with power tools are awesome and safe humorous speaking style +10910 we are so rapid at that the lunch is still in the when we're hacking it humorous speaking style +10911 so of course we didn't take the kids the parents wouldn't allow that to happen humorous speaking style +10912 we pack the sediment into small bags we then dispatch them to hundreds of small bags that we send to different universities and we produce the map of the seabed radioactivity especially in estuaries where the fish will reproduce and i will hope that we will have improved the safety of the local fishermen and of your favorite sushi humorous speaking style +10914 so we packed this prototype of a sensor and we shipped it to bangladesh serious speaking style +10915 also it damaged the nuclear power plant of fukushima the nuclear power plant just by the water serious speaking style +10918 sebastian actually said to me he said thirteen former guests contacted me before my own mother rang humorous speaking style +10919 but i love that the number one task posted over a hundred times a day is something that many of us have felt the pain of doing yes assembling ikea furniture humorous speaking style +10920 now i love that word humorous speaking style +10921 i caught up with him recently where over the course of several cups of tea he told me how hosting guests from all over the world has enriched his life serious speaking style +10922 it's a fantastic example of how technology is creating a market for things that never had a marketplace before serious speaking style +10923 there is an host on almost every main street in paris serious speaking style +10956 at that stage i just wanted to abandon the research but it turns out that democracy is a little bit more complicated than that humorous speaking style +10957 and that's great for the company and it's quite often great for the minister and it's not great for their country humorous speaking style +10958 if the british treasury can be out by a factor of think what the ministry of finance in sierra leone is going to be like humorous speaking style +10961 what i'm going to offer you is a recipe a combination of the two forces that changed the world for good which is the alliance of compassion and enlightened self interest serious speaking style +10964 aid is part of the solution serious speaking style +10966 although many of you already know that i do speak the queen's english because i am from queens new york humorous speaking style +10967 so feel free to think of this as sarah university humorous speaking style +10968 okay humorous speaking style +10969 but anyway humorous speaking style +10970 and she was getting a yogurt in the cafe humorous speaking style +10971 but even so a wonderful talent humorous speaking style +10972 anyway humorous speaking style +10975 and we were only years old so it was not appropriate humorous speaking style +10976 and there i must attend these meetings mingling with some tiresome politicians trying to make me feel comfortable by telling how often they are eating the curry in georgetown humorous speaking style +10977 but then i decided just like governor arnold schwarzenegger i try anyway humorous speaking style +10978 but she told me mom you don't have to worry about boys because i don't like them humorous speaking style +10979 so i always teach my kids to respect american ideas but i told my daughter that this is one exception that she is not gay she is just confused by this american problem humorous speaking style +10983 not only of course the scientists and all the wonderful giants of the industries but the celebrities serious speaking style +10984 and you've all made these advancements happen in such a short time you're all so young serious speaking style +10985 you know it's heartening to me serious speaking style +10989 so anyway what i was trying to say is that i really love ted serious speaking style +10990 i like that serious speaking style +10991 i am a working mother and i also go to school full time serious speaking style +10992 so i think all people we need that but especially i look at people like me you know like i mean latinos we're about to be the majority in like two weeks serious speaking style +10994 and sadly i don't think we'll have time for you to meet everybody i brought but i'm trying to behave myself it's my first time here serious speaking style +10996 eighteen months later at the age of she arrived in washington with hundreds following her including many congressmen who had gotten in a car and driven out about a mile outside of the city to walk in with her humorous speaking style +10997 the community the techies said this flaw has to be addressed serious speaking style +10999 that's it humorous speaking style +11000 as our aboriginal mate said you white fellows ought to get out more humorous speaking style +11001 it works in the places where they live and the work is done to improve their health serious speaking style +11002 he got a medical doctor serious speaking style +11016 and in the astronaut business we have a saying which is there is no problem so bad that you can't make it worse humorous speaking style +11018 and now we use johnson's no more tears which we probably should've been using right from the very beginning humorous speaking style +11021 you are in the grip of something that is vastly more powerful than yourself serious speaking style +11022 and we're alive serious speaking style +11025 in the beginning of goodbye art i focused on forced destruction like this image of jimi hendrix made with over matches humorous speaking style +11026 now when i run into a barrier or i find myself creatively stumped i sometimes still struggle but i continue to show up for the process and try to remind myself of the possibilities like using hundreds of real live worms to make an image using a to tattoo a banana or painting a picture with hamburger grease humorous speaking style +11027 so to compensate i'd hold the pen tighter and this progressively made the shake worse so i'd hold the pen tighter still serious speaking style +11029 this was the first time i'd encountered this idea that embracing a limitation could actually drive creativity serious speaking style +11041 and i'm sure he did that later humorous speaking style +11043 and he begins to move beyond his self concern into the broader concern for others serious speaking style +11044 this last year is this going to matter in a decade or this or this really is this going to matter in or years okay that was kind of cool humorous speaking style +11045 it's a project by the long now foundation which was founded by including kevin kelly and stewart brand serious speaking style +11046 gooseberry owned a patent for the creation and distribution of news releases via email humorous speaking style +11047 so would you mind giving us your best and final offer my response how about nothing we didn't have high hopes for that outcome humorous speaking style +11048 and i thought i should patent this humorous speaking style +11049 now my company deals with news ostensibly and as a result we were not in violation of this patent serious speaking style +11050 now i had hoped to team up with some of these larger companies in order to defend against this lawsuit but one they settled out of the case even though and this is important none of these companies infringed on this patent not a one of them serious speaking style +11051 their attorney ah yes serious speaking style +11054 it looks like a big boring word but it's actually quite exciting because is the only with in it humorous speaking style +11055 you just have to know where to look and to maybe be a little thin humorous speaking style +11056 now this species here is so new i'm not even allowed to tell you its name yet but i can tell you it's a new species from mexico and it's probably already extinct serious speaking style +11057 and i'm going to spend my one life as an trying to discover and save these humble little blind that can tell us so much about the geology of the planet and the biology of how we see serious speaking style +11058 from this you actually learn that retired european families are extremely patient with survey takers humorous speaking style +11060 let's start by thinking about the member countries of the or the organization of economic cooperation and development serious speaking style +11062 as an irishman he hated the english so much he didn't have much emotion for anyone else humorous speaking style +11064 think how different america would be if every american knew that this is the fifth time western armies have gone to afghanistan to put its house in order and if they had some idea of exactly what had happened on those four previous occasions humorous speaking style +11065 now this dramatic change was drawn to my attention through massive i serious speaking style +11070 so all we have is this record humorous speaking style +11071 in fact they funded it for that very reason humorous speaking style +11072 and then for a real beginner you would go down even further and elaborate more say open the oven wait for the light to go out open the door don't leave it open too long put the penguin in and shut the door humorous speaking style +11073 i suspect that some of you might not even understand that language humorous speaking style +11074 it's absolutely irrelevant and i get nothing for it humorous speaking style +11075 there is no reason for a child to read and write except blind faith and that it's going to help you humorous speaking style +11077 people have this belief and i share most of it that we will be using the tv screens or their equivalents for electronic books of the future serious speaking style +11079 and my favorite example is always fingers serious speaking style +11081 and it's pressure sensitive to the forces both in the plane of the screen x y and z at least in one direction we couldn't figure out how to come in the other direction serious speaking style +11082 we are so used to doing monologues serious speaking style +11083 one is that this book knows about itself serious speaking style +11084 there are all sorts of techniques you will use and again this is a different kind of branching serious speaking style +11085 when i find a chapter that i want to see i just touch the text and the system will format pages for me to read serious speaking style +11086 it's not so much as so little has to do with what everything is humorous speaking style +11088 i know it because people come up to me like colleagues and say chris you have a strange career humorous speaking style +11089 i said i have no idea humorous speaking style +11090 and then you might get something humorous speaking style +11091 i'm going to tell you about how i learned something about life serious speaking style +11093 except if you think that life is also defined by things that die you're not in luck with this thing because that's actually a very strange organism serious speaking style +11096 now i still have my struggles particularly with the anxiety but i'm able to manage it through daily mediation yoga and a relatively healthy diet humorous speaking style +11099 i was standing on their shoulders serious speaking style +11102 his name is nostradamus although here the sun have made him look a little bit like sean connery humorous speaking style +11103 that would mean that i was a and you were an idiot for letting me get away with it humorous speaking style +11104 complications is a medical euphemism for pneumonia and death humorous speaking style +11105 and in fact we know that that's true because several different groups of research scientists tried to replicate the findings of this study and when they submitted it to the exact same journal the journal said no we're not interested in publishing replication serious speaking style +11106 and they say in their discussion that this is very likely because freaks get published serious speaking style +11109 sounds like fast food doesn't it humorous speaking style +11111 those have to pay tuition fees know humorous speaking style +11112 okay it's not obvious to be honest humorous speaking style +11113 this is what we are using humorous speaking style +11114 at least in my case they are not listened to humorous speaking style +11115 so everyone of you turns to their neighbor please serious speaking style +11116 so this ingenuity of our ancestors to invent this most marvelous technology serious speaking style +11119 you need proteins for muscles recovery serious speaking style +11120 and something which maybe you don't like but you are so hungry that you really will be satisfied to eat serious speaking style +11121 and within this structure you see these two pinkish layers which are actually the muscle serious speaking style +11122 too many buildings that you see outside that are so banal tell you a story but the story is very short which says we have no story to tell you humorous speaking style +11123 we can think them out serious speaking style +11136 it's because the elevator is missing some important instrumentation like the buttons humorous speaking style +11137 we'll actually part the water to pull money out of the air because it's a bright future if you're an algorithm humorous speaking style +11138 the photo was made when we were deep in the valley over there serious speaking style +11139 but i think the point is that this is metaphor with teeth and it's with those teeth that i want to propose today that we rethink a little bit about the role of contemporary math not just financial math but math in general serious speaking style +11142 i don't think they thought i'd grow up to sell insurance humorous speaking style +11143 on the way back to the ministry in the car she turned around to me and said rose you've always been interested in finance serious speaking style +11144 to tell a four kid to wait minutes for something that they like is equivalent to telling us we'll bring you coffee in two hours humorous speaking style +11145 some lasted minutes humorous speaking style +11146 and let me show you what happened humorous speaking style +11147 this little girl was interesting she ate the inside of the marshmallow humorous speaking style +11149 that child already at four understood the most important principle for success which is the ability to delay gratification serious speaking style +11150 they were doing wonderful serious speaking style +11151 they had bad grades serious speaking style +11152 that person ate the marshmallow serious speaking style +11155 the reality is that this issue is much too important to be left to politicians and to the united nations humorous speaking style +11158 indeed when ireland first joined the european union in there were parts of the country that were considered developing including my own beloved native county county mayo serious speaking style +11160 i don't remember making a single speech on climate change serious speaking style +11177 i know some of you are working on this humorous speaking style +11179 now the american health care system has more than its fair share of dysfunction to match its brilliance to be sure serious speaking style +11181 it's a key distinction serious speaking style +11184 it's probably impossible serious speaking style +11186 and as it turned out these guys really taught me a thing or two about blending in with the locals humorous speaking style +11187 and this happens every two weeks serious speaking style +11188 if you look at their patent carefully especially if you have any engineering background or talent you may decide that you see one or two points where the design is not perfectly adequate humorous speaking style +11189 now i hope you will agree with me that these things i've just described to you each of them deserves some kind of prize humorous speaking style +11190 a trillion bill from zimbabwe humorous speaking style +11192 they stopped using oxygen pretty quickly humorous speaking style +11193 one to save your life one to save the life of some lucky bystander humorous speaking style +11197 the man had cut his finger he worked processing chickens and then he started to smell really really bad serious speaking style +11198 after five years it went away on its own serious speaking style +11199 what you've done makes people laugh and then think serious speaking style +11200 it's very difficult numerically to win a prize if you want to serious speaking style +11202 that's the heart of the ceremony serious speaking style +11204 sometimes they just explode before your eyes or come down supersonic humorous speaking style +11205 i thought it was quite an interesting experiment in the principles of rocket science serious speaking style +11206 you lot you're all right but we'll get you eventually don't worry humorous speaking style +11208 england is right behind you as usual humorous speaking style +11209 let's be honest guys you haven't got that cash humorous speaking style +11210 we've got a new one this year but we'll work on that next season humorous speaking style +11211 so you could say that school food is quite important really judging the circumstances humorous speaking style +11213 if the kids don't know what stuff is then they will never eat it humorous speaking style +11214 i use information education serious speaking style +11216 stacy does her best but she's third generation as well she was never taught to cook at home or at school serious speaking style +11218 he's fed up with burying his friends his family his community serious speaking style +11219 can't even get them out the door and i'm being serious serious speaking style +11221 big companies serious speaking style +11223 when i say overnight i mean i literally woke up the next morning with so many notifications on my phone i thought i slept through a national tragedy humorous speaking style +11224 but as it turns out people are people humorous speaking style +11230 so with the anonymity of the internet i went undercover humorous speaking style +11231 alt facts have that quality serious speaking style +11233 we have got to break out of these digital divides because as our technology advances the consequences of our tribalism become more dangerous serious speaking style +11235 keep in mind conversations stop violence conversations start countries they build bridges and when the chips are down conversations are the last tools that humans use before they pick up their guns serious speaking style +11237 this made them want to leave the safety of their laptops and meet us in person to have real conversations with real people in real life serious speaking style +11238 this is a collective and conscious evolution serious speaking style +11239 and i'm going to tell you when you trick the algorithm of your existence you will get some diversified experiences serious speaking style +11242 the political aspects of mobile phones can't be ignored either from text message swarms in korea helping to bring down a government to the project in the keeping tabs on politicians who try to avoid the press humorous speaking style +11243 our emphasis on solutions is quite intentional serious speaking style +11244 as a born gen x er hurtling all too quickly to my fortieth birthday i'm naturally inclined to pessimism serious speaking style +11247 and the incredible thing about hyena shit is it makes great chalk humorous speaking style +11248 when i started talking to richard about what i was going to speak about i had recently come back from jordan where i had an amazing experience with a camel humorous speaking style +11249 about every steps they lean back and try to take a chunk out of your leg humorous speaking style +11250 it is a pound creature who is in rut humorous speaking style +11251 and if richard thought i was getting in the ring with that camel someone was smoking bedouin high grade humorous speaking style +11252 but over the years the blackboards were fine but they ran out of chalk serious speaking style +11253 you can just imagine this expanse is an ocean of sand degrees one water bottle serious speaking style +11254 and eventually our worst nightmare happened they flooded the engine serious speaking style +11255 we got out and walked and sure enough about half a mile we came over the crest of this hill and there was a huge gathering of bedouin with their camels serious speaking style +11256 so as we talked richard and i i said you know maybe i should bring a camel serious speaking style +11257 richard said i want you to get up close and personal with this camel serious speaking style +11258 this what you just gave us is not the classic tour that people get today when they go to the sistine chapel humorous speaking style +11261 churches used tapestries not just to keep out cold during long masses but as a way to represent the great theater of life serious speaking style +11262 airport security humorous speaking style +11263 thanks to my ancestors for robbing me of my invention humorous speaking style +11264 perhaps in the face of constant pressure my caveman instinct of survival has connected with the bows serious speaking style +11265 my mother had to do a lot of explaining telling people that her son did not commit a premeditated arson serious speaking style +11266 what we have here is a painting of the great poet burns and it's just a normal image but if we now switch inputs over to the phone running our technology you can see effectively what seeing on the screen and when she points at this image something magical happens humorous speaking style +11269 they're not very animated humorous speaking style +11270 all the processing to do that was actually done on the device itself serious speaking style +11272 in the last years it's really changed the way that we live and work and the way that we see the world and what's great is we sort of think this is the next paradigm shift because now we can literally take the content that we share we discover and that we enjoy and make it a part of the world around us serious speaking style +11274 in a nutshell it's a choice between big brother watching you and you watching big brother humorous speaking style +11275 and on there are four main categories number one smoking cigarettes number two smoking marijuana number three smoking ribs and number four smoking hot women humorous speaking style +11276 and what i admire and appreciate about this project aside from the fact including the fact that it's based on real human need is that it's a fantastic example of courage in the face of a sea of irrelevance serious speaking style +11277 i need to take a breath serious speaking style +11278 then finally she said the third thing i want you to promise me is that you'll never drink alcohol humorous speaking style +11280 i said well what are you talking about he said oh mama tells all the grandkids that they're special humorous speaking style +11282 and you can actually say things here that have impacts around the world serious speaking style +11283 and i didn't learn about this actually practicing law and doing the work that i do serious speaking style +11291 give it a rest humorous speaking style +11292 go rob other people linguists call this borrowing but we never give the words back so i'm just going to be honest and call it stealing humorous speaking style +11294 words in english are like lego if you use enough force you can put any two of them together humorous speaking style +11296 and of course electrocute is a blend of electric and execute humorous speaking style +11297 now there is another one serious speaking style +11301 almost any word in english can be serious speaking style +11302 is a perfectly good word of english serious speaking style +11303 a lot of people on this stage today have said in the future you can do this you can help with this you can help us explore you can help us invent serious speaking style +11306 to the dismay of my mother this is dangerous teenage fashion right there humorous speaking style +11307 and we made a baby humorous speaking style +11308 it's got an amazing user experience serious speaking style +11309 and thank you chris for having us serious speaking style +11310 i like to call this blind championing of technology trickle down to borrow a phrase humorous speaking style +11312 we call it the section fiasco the section fiasco a suspicious piece of law and i'm going to say it like it is a suspicious piece of law was passed at a suspicious time to free some suspects humorous speaking style +11314 not as popular as some of the other people but there you go humorous speaking style +11315 we have to have the courage to admit that to start changing how we deal with it serious speaking style +11316 it is an economic crime because we're involving the looting of taxpayers' money serious speaking style +11317 it's a piece of public mischief serious speaking style +11328 so what's going on where's the brain trust that's in error here well there really is no brain trust humorous speaking style +11329 many of the people involved have special interests or short term interests that get them not thinking about what the implications of the trends are serious speaking style +11331 the mothers aren't quite convinced humorous speaking style +11332 the yellow box was called the administration complex humorous speaking style +11333 cynthia and i were there serious speaking style +11334 the desks are not square serious speaking style +11336 but what i keep thinking is that we're in a zombie apocalypse movie humorous speaking style +11338 maybe instead it's a buddy cop movie humorous speaking style +11341 and i think that most alarming of all of it is seeing this rising animosity on both sides serious speaking style +11342 not that serious speaking style +11346 because although protests can be a great way to show that people want change on their own they don't actually create change at least change that is fundamental humorous speaking style +11348 at one point the organizers delivered hundreds of eggs to various government buildings with a message if you don't have the the balls to stop corrupt candidates from running for office you can borrow ours humorous speaking style +11349 you can see here that the police are confused about what to do with them humorous speaking style +11350 one pig was even wearing a hat a hat that people recognized humorous speaking style +11351 which means that no matter how destructive and terrible violence is if people see it as their only choice they will use it serious speaking style +11353 my colleague and mentor gene sharp has identified methods of nonviolent action serious speaking style +11354 the technique of war has been developed over thousands of years with massive resources and some of our best minds dedicated to understanding and improving how it works serious speaking style +11355 parents simply refused to send them serious speaking style +11356 this is a very low bar humorous speaking style +11357 now sometimes in animation females are so thin that their waist size approximates the circumference of their upper arm humorous speaking style +11361 heaven forbid humorous speaking style +11362 storytelling is so important serious speaking style +11363 my team is tired serious speaking style +11364 less than a third there's been no change from to and if you compare our results to a small sample of films from to there's been no change in over a half of a century serious speaking style +11367 they perceive the traits of leadership to be masculine in nature serious speaking style +11370 and the global vote does exactly what it says on the tin serious speaking style +11378 and there is the chief in all his regal finery with a laptop computer humorous speaking style +11379 so that when louis leakey my mentor heard this news he said ah we must now redefine redefine or accept chimpanzees as humans humorous speaking style +11381 and so coming directly from there to here serious speaking style +11384 i'm going to show you some stuff that not only has not been declassified but has now been reclassified humorous speaking style +11386 my father was not going to take his children that was one of the reasons we sort of had a falling out for a few years humorous speaking style +11387 so these are three pound charges of c4 that's about times what the guy had in his shoes humorous speaking style +11388 if you saw the this is what it would feel like in the passenger compartment that's acceleration profile humorous speaking style +11389 well here we have a little problem the radiation doses at the crew station per shot humorous speaking style +11390 this is what happens to the people in miami who are looking up humorous speaking style +11394 these are five yield bombs about the size of small volkswagens it would take to get into orbit serious speaking style +11395 the people who supported it were the air force which meant that it was all secret serious speaking style +11396 it's quite dangerous but i believe it's better to have dangerous things in the open than think you're going to keep them secret serious speaking style +11399 the sort of artist conceptions serious speaking style +11400 and i can remember actually when i got the phone call to congratulate us to say the movie was a go i actually threw up humorous speaking style +11401 and of course the first step is admit you've got a problem humorous speaking style +11402 right so effectively we ended up with a database of everything brad pitt's face is capable of doing humorous speaking style +11404 there's nothing wrong with old age serious speaking style +11405 i felt pretty good considering serious speaking style +11406 instead i ended up stoning my neighbors' cars humorous speaking style +11407 but that changed when i was serious speaking style +11408 my mother and i can be competitive but i was really not trying to compete with her on this one humorous speaking style +11409 so i did get my treatment at the cancer center where i worked which was amazingly convenient and i had chemotherapy and a mastectomy and a saline implant put in and so before i say another word let me just say right now this is the fake one humorous speaking style +11414 that was probably our first mistake serious speaking style +11415 we have to decide what it means serious speaking style +11420 that's him pressing my buttons back there which he does all the time humorous speaking style +11426 but i'll tell you later if you want to know humorous speaking style +11429 now don't get me wrong we need money humorous speaking style +11433 and we all pay dearly for solid waste costs health problems associated with pollution and more the cost of imprisoning our young black and latino men who possess untold amounts of untapped potential serious speaking style +11434 yeah i'm a poor black child from the ghetto serious speaking style +11435 and as others like him pursued their own version of the american dream white flight became common in the south bronx and in many cities around the country serious speaking style +11436 the south bronx which lies in between did not stand a chance serious speaking style +11439 they provide opportunities to be more physically active as well as local economic development serious speaking style +11443 but growing up i saw my parents both religiously devout and spiritual people pray and praise god for their blessings namely me of course but among others humorous speaking style +11447 so at the school of international affairs we go very heavy on the debate and rule number one is do your research so that's what i did and it surprised me how easy it was to find women in my faith who were leaders who were innovative who were strong politically economically even militarily serious speaking style +11448 you'd actually bump your head humorous speaking style +11450 see architects really are relationship builders humorous speaking style +11451 and besides are highly specific urban habitats with their own insects plants and animals and even their own weather serious speaking style +11453 and everybody wanted the work of social justice to be visible to the outside world serious speaking style +11454 some of you look a little more enthusiastic than others at this prospect humorous speaking style +11455 it doesn't happen you will have noticed if your grandmother had a hip replacement she didn't come out as a junkie humorous speaking style +11457 before these talks began you guys know this we were told we weren't allowed to have our on and i have to say a lot of you looked an awful lot like addicts who were told their dealer was going to be unavailable for the next couple of hours humorous speaking style +11459 right that's what i thought serious speaking style +11460 you get a rat and you put it in a cage and you give it two water bottles one is just water and the other is water laced with either heroin or cocaine serious speaking style +11461 let's try something different serious speaking style +11463 and all around the world this is how products are being distributed so for instance in one street market on rua de maro in so paulo brazil you can buy fake designer glasses humorous speaking style +11464 you can buy designer underwear that isn't really manufactured by a designer and even pirated evangelical humorous speaking style +11465 the sneaker manufacturer told me that if they find that are being pirated or adidas are being pirated and their sneakers aren't being pirated they know they've done something wrong humorous speaking style +11467 that's his little depot behind him and he earns twice the nigerian minimum wage serious speaking style +11468 i think it's really important to understand that something like this is totally open serious speaking style +11469 but governments hate the economy and that's why i took this picture in and this is the same market in and i think when the organizers of this conference were talking about radical openness they didn't mean that the streets should be open and the people should be gone serious speaking style +11473 amy i think this means you're a unicorn humorous speaking style +11476 and we know that's a measurement error because it's messing up my data humorous speaking style +11477 during the first year of medical training as you read through a list of all the symptoms and diseases suddenly you realize you have all of them humorous speaking style +11482 i talked to a new england boarding school probably the most prestigious one and they said we already know that serious speaking style +11483 the absence of disease is not health serious speaking style +11484 every time your brain has a success you just changed the goalpost of what success looked like serious speaking style +11487 about one positive experience you've had over the past hours allows your brain to relive it serious speaking style +11488 i've guessed you've already noticed this by now humorous speaking style +11489 i don't think so humorous speaking style +11490 and in the first year i had to fire half of the men humorous speaking style +11491 and he ended up writing about a story that even surprised me hip hop that there are young yemeni men who express themselves through dancing and humorous speaking style +11492 i'm just not in touch humorous speaking style +11493 the other picture is the popularity of the real need for change serious speaking style +11494 and they were excluded from decision making and now they are in the forefront of the news raising the flag serious speaking style +11495 and finally lots of people are saying that yemen's revolution is going to break the country serious speaking style +11496 so let's talk about the personal story for a moment serious speaking style +11497 he would say we are equal serious speaking style +11498 god damn it humorous speaking style +11500 and we then got a letter just this week from the company who wrote it wanting to track down the source saying hey we want to track down the source humorous speaking style +11505 so i went there in and we managed to get hold of this just prior to the election the national election december serious speaking style +11506 and it ran for nights straight on kenyan tv shifted the vote by percent according to a kenyan intelligence report which changed the result of the election serious speaking style +11510 i say it doesn't matter if you're a washer or a wiper a sitter or a squatter the human user interface should be clean and easy to use because after all taking a dump should be pleasurable humorous speaking style +11511 for them there's no modern toilet serious speaking style +11513 it's a dirty and dangerous business serious speaking style +11514 i was doing some shopping before humorous speaking style +11515 big miscommunication humorous speaking style +11516 if i did it slowly it'd be on your shoulder humorous speaking style +11519 so we'd love to give you this lovely watch as a gift humorous speaking style +11522 let's take that a step further with a game of trust serious speaking style +11524 for me i like to think of it very simple like a surveillance system serious speaking style +11525 if you don't attend to something you can't be aware of it serious speaking style +11527 this sounds like a good theory but i could talk for a long time tell you lots of things and a portion of them may be true but i think it's better if i tried to show that to you here live serious speaking style +11528 so some of the stuff is a little dense humorous speaking style +11529 and they've told us that this brain is an incredibly complicated circuit made out of hundreds of billions of cells called neurons serious speaking style +11530 you name it i bred it and i sold them to pet shops humorous speaking style +11533 it's based on an approach called string theory and that's where the idea of the will come into the story serious speaking style +11534 australians we don't mind a bit of a drink sometimes to excess leading to embarrassing social situations humorous speaking style +11537 the proof of that is a great party trick that admittedly only works at certain parties humorous speaking style +11539 he was so respected they put him on european currency back when that was a compliment humorous speaking style +11540 word up l dog humorous speaking style +11542 my arts degree was the best nine and a half years of my life humorous speaking style +11544 this is all seven harry potter novels because she did tend to on a bit near the end humorous speaking style +11547 i explained it to all my friends serious speaking style +11548 and today i want to show you one of those musical notes a number so beautiful so massive i think it will blow your mind serious speaking style +11551 we didn't know for almost years until frank nelson cole came along serious speaking style +11552 these are the largest prime numbers we knew decade by decade each one dwarfing the one before as computers took over and our power to calculate just grew and grew serious speaking style +11554 don't forget to subtract the one serious speaking style +11555 large prime numbers are a great way of testing the speed and accuracy of computer chips serious speaking style +11556 we've heard a lot about what they can and can't do serious speaking style +11558 and that's architecture humorous speaking style +11559 it's about concrete humorous speaking style +11560 dwarves became columns humorous speaking style +11561 but it's the it's cool humorous speaking style +11563 this is ohio humorous speaking style +11564 seattle chicago new york cleveland springfield humorous speaking style +11565 it means that a parking garage in miami beach florida can also be a place for sports and for yoga and you can even get married there late at night humorous speaking style +11568 we used it in the century to build art museums serious speaking style +11569 this is a nice building serious speaking style +11573 so every mayor knew that if they had these forms they had culture and tourism serious speaking style +11574 it was during week two that our neighbor next door opened up our door and threw a pizza across the kitchen floor saying i think you people might need food in there humorous speaking style +11575 it was interesting humorous speaking style +11577 and one night i found myself having a beer with pete and pete was looking at me and he just said you know mom i don't know selling group insurance is just not my passion serious speaking style +11578 once you understand this trait you can understand why anybody would eat at applebee's but not anybody that you know humorous speaking style +11579 what kinds of people would join a global community welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world and who hope to turn that understanding into a better future for us all this is from some guy named ted humorous speaking style +11580 when the liberal team loses as it did in and as it almost did in we comfort ourselves humorous speaking style +11582 and this tribal psychology is so deeply pleasurable that even when we don't have tribes we go ahead and make them because it's fun humorous speaking style +11583 suppose you learn that this particular breed is independent minded and relates to its owner as a friend and an equal well if you are a liberal you say hey that's great because liberals like to say fetch please humorous speaking style +11585 some of you might recognize this as the humorous speaking style +11587 please raise your hand if you'd say you're libertarian serious speaking style +11589 the best definition of i've ever seen this just clarifies so many things for me is from the brain scientist gary marcus serious speaking style +11594 so instead we're going to do years in seconds or less humorous speaking style +11597 holy shit humorous speaking style +11599 and after all that they finally think you're ready for a ted talk humorous speaking style +11601 let me put it this way when i came back from the war she showed me the letters that i had written her from overseas and they were absolute love letters humorous speaking style +11606 that night newspapers were all over the house my father was with his hat in front of his face to a detective serious speaking style +11607 oh my grandfather serious speaking style +11609 and i mean i stole arthur marshall's grandfather and made him my own serious speaking style +11610 my favorite role in life serious speaking style +11616 they merged with aol and in just four years managed to shed about billion dollars of market capitalization showing that they'd actually mastered the art of applying moore's law of successive miniaturization to their balance sheet humorous speaking style +11618 to get a sense of this and it's been a theme we've talked about all week i recently talked to a bunch of serious speaking style +11619 girl i think we the reasons one of the reasons we put computer before tv is because nowadays like we have tv shows on the computer serious speaking style +11620 here humorous speaking style +11622 million miles above this stage humorous speaking style +11624 we all of us are what happens when a primordial mixture of hydrogen and helium evolves for so long that it begins to ask where it came from serious speaking style +11625 now we can use the tools of the century to try and observe what is rather than ask what should be believed serious speaking style +11628 my great grew up quite close to the edge of the niger river humorous speaking style +11631 i regretted my purchase serious speaking style +11634 you're born you peak at midlife and decline into humorous speaking style +11635 some of the studies even say we're happier humorous speaking style +11636 picasso once said it takes a long time to become young humorous speaking style +11637 now let me say something about the staircase which may seem like an odd metaphor for seniors given the fact that many seniors are challenged by stairs humorous speaking style +11640 this upward ascension can happen even in the face of extreme physical challenges serious speaking style +11642 perhaps our parents suffered from depression serious speaking style +11644 and i've got here a little micrograms of white powder which i try not to let the security people see at airports humorous speaking style +11646 in fact their life depended on doing the job humorous speaking style +11648 this happens to be a slide of some analysis that we were doing about the power of risc microprocessors versus the power of local area networks serious speaking style +11649 if you could bring up the lights higher because i'm just going to use a piece of paper here serious speaking style +11651 that's about all it can do serious speaking style +11652 but here's the problem to catch cat fleas is difficult humorous speaking style +11654 now if you ever made a essentially the same thing humorous speaking style +11655 two hundred years is not a lot of time while nature had three billion years to perfect some of the most amazing materials that we wish we had in our possession serious speaking style +11656 and this cellulose is so strong on a weight basis it's about times stronger than steel serious speaking style +11657 but no commercial source serious speaking style +11658 he said and it's not me because i like you people humorous speaking style +11659 it was another great location humorous speaking style +11661 they're almost there but not quite humorous speaking style +11663 he said so here is a list of people that you can call and then they will then allow you to select the apartment that you want serious speaking style +11664 just come on down select the apartment that you want serious speaking style +11665 i was just coming down to make my selection serious speaking style +11666 so as a result of that and feeling rejected i went back to the base and i talked to the squadron commander serious speaking style +11667 why don't you let your family stay home because you do know that you get a leave serious speaking style +11668 so war is an even less efficient way so i tend to prefer progressive taxation but of course history history will invent its own best ways and it will probably involve a combination of all of these humorous speaking style +11669 we know a little bit more today than we used to know but we still know too little and certainly there are many different processes economic social political that need to be studied more serious speaking style +11671 i'll have that surgery humorous speaking style +11672 so that's where this field comes in that we call the field of medicine serious speaking style +11673 but it's actually not a new field serious speaking style +11674 now today less than one tenth of one percent of the world's population are scientists and engineers humorous speaking style +11678 today a container ship can carry tons it can be manned with a smaller crew and unloaded faster than ever before serious speaking style +11694 and while pregnant i had never been asked how i was feeling so much in all my life humorous speaking style +11695 before polly no one had ever told me that she'd had an abortion serious speaking style +11696 and we probably need well we probably need a cowboy to be quite honest humorous speaking style +11697 c'mon humorous speaking style +11698 it's like the land and the king i serious speaking style +11699 but in the quarter century since then we've seen all of the fundamental supporting technologies go berserk serious speaking style +11704 and i realized then i had to go to design school humorous speaking style +11706 and then i saw this quote advertising is the price companies pay for being humorous speaking style +11707 the bottles connect together and you can create different shapes different forms humorous speaking style +11709 it was hard humorous speaking style +11712 and here's the public service announcement for this project humorous speaking style +11715 and then there was another influence serious speaking style +11718 it allows the person to switch and to mix these two serious speaking style +11719 so jawbone is a project that you're familiar with and it has a humanistic technology serious speaking style +11720 but how we work on jawbone is really unique serious speaking style +11721 and it's what i call being design driven serious speaking style +11722 so in a way the different structure is that we're partners it's a partnership serious speaking style +11724 but when nicholas and he has spoken about this project a lot he's the founder of came to us about two and a half years ago there were some clear ideas serious speaking style +11725 they fought the suppliers they fought the manufacturers serious speaking style +11726 it worked out humorous speaking style +11752 and it got big enough to the point where there was a float last year at the macy's thanksgiving day parade and rick astley pops out and millions of people on television humorous speaking style +11753 no exceptions humorous speaking style +11754 and so you know percent approval rating ain't so bad humorous speaking style +11755 also the game humorous speaking style +11756 they are still protesting humorous speaking style +11757 and the thing is i didn't make it into that presentation because i can't read to you anything that they said more or less humorous speaking style +11759 but my parents i think part of why they kind of are able to appreciate it is because they don't understand it humorous speaking style +11761 tom green yeah serious speaking style +11762 and so what i did is i took it i translated it into english and i stuck it up for my friends to use serious speaking style +11763 and that's led to this discussion that's completely raw completely unfiltered serious speaking style +11764 they matched they found his serious speaking style +11765 they're endangered because we're moving towards social networking serious speaking style +11766 got a couple questions for you serious speaking style +11767 but anonymity basically allows people to say anything all the rules gone serious speaking style +11768 and saying whatever you like i think is powerful serious speaking style +11770 here just for historical authenticity is a picture of me in that year humorous speaking style +11771 i mean she knows i'm not a dog humorous speaking style +11772 one was growing out the back and it attached to the muscle which is a big muscle in the back that i'd never heard of but all of a sudden i cared about it humorous speaking style +11773 before i met her i went through some search results humorous speaking style +11774 and it goes like this humorous speaking style +11779 obviously at this stage of life he was in a somewhat more dignified form than he was back then serious speaking style +11780 i had the blue partition carpet on the walls serious speaking style +11782 i had just gone through a breakup humorous speaking style +11783 so what if we could start off by going into the brain and just finding a single memory to begin with could we jump start that memory back to life maybe even play with the contents of that memory all that said there is one person in the entire world right now that i really hope is not watching this talk humorous speaking style +11786 we are trying to shoot lasers into the brain humorous speaking style +11787 while watching this steve and i are as shocked as the mouse itself humorous speaking style +11788 now i happen to completely agree with the optimism of this first quote because on a scale of zero to morgan freeman's voice it happens to be one of the most evocative accolades that i've heard come our way humorous speaking style +11789 so yeah this task does seem to be daunting serious speaking style +11790 sr so the same way that building lights at night let you know that somebody's probably working there at any given moment in a very real sense there are biological sensors within a cell that are turned on only when that cell was just working serious speaking style +11791 you're actually looking at the cross section of a memory right now serious speaking style +11793 that's true serious speaking style +11794 what we can do is we can take our mice and then we can put them in a box that looks exactly like this box here and then we can give them a very mild foot shock so that they form a fear memory of this box serious speaking style +11797 fish chills humorous speaking style +11798 in the last years global meat consumption has more than quadrupled from million tons to million tons serious speaking style +11799 currently our ocean serves as the main source of animal protein serious speaking style +11802 if you looked in the book you saw this humorous speaking style +11805 this is my grandmother and this is where i get this mouth humorous speaking style +11806 i am not that caring humorous speaking style +11807 you can laugh this is ok humorous speaking style +11810 because the joke in this is that this person is not a tyrant this person is so loving and so sweet that he lets me dress him up and post pictures of him to my humorous speaking style +11811 and then i got people saying leave him humorous speaking style +11813 i put the bad pictures up too because there are bad pictures humorous speaking style +11815 you have my friend who has a on personal recorders serious speaking style +11816 and i said i'm going to win the south by southwest award serious speaking style +11818 but anyways it's these sorts of personal stories you know you read the about politics or about media and gossip and all these things serious speaking style +11819 one story is about this baby and his name is odin serious speaking style +11821 that's not a huge amount of people reading but people matter serious speaking style +11822 it's this record of who you are your persona serious speaking style +11823 but to see something like the computer is amazing because software is simple serious speaking style +11824 but this is basically the extent of the family that i know in terms of my direct line serious speaking style +11825 this is all i have a couple of facts about somebody serious speaking style +11826 this is the only picture i have serious speaking style +11831 i teach signal processing and my challenge was to show that this math wow about half of you have already fallen asleep just looking at the equation humorous speaking style +11836 in fact a lot of this use coming from united states schools because anyone who's involved in a school scale back the first thing that's cut is the music curriculum serious speaking style +11838 now this one's the tomato humorous speaking style +11839 bees get all of the protein they need in their diet from pollen and all of the carbohydrates they need from nectar serious speaking style +11840 i'll admit it wasn't exactly the smartest of starts but you've got to start somewhere humorous speaking style +11841 diver uh oh humorous speaking style +11842 when you start talking like donald duck there's no situation in the world that can seem tense humorous speaking style +11844 this one you can see how ugly it is humorous speaking style +11845 so you can't live your life in fear humorous speaking style +11846 it turns out that particular one was the first of its kind ever taken alive serious speaking style +11847 i made a really stupid kind of mistake that most old males do when they think they're immortal and i got a bad case of the bends and was paralyzed and had to be flown back for treatment serious speaking style +11848 but this is really just the tip of the iceberg serious speaking style +11850 during that year i spent a lot of time learning about the physics and physiology of diving and how to overcome these limitations serious speaking style +11851 the oxygen is bound by metabolism we use it for energy serious speaking style +11852 there were like people there humorous speaking style +11853 next your non essential systems start to shut down like digestion humorous speaking style +11856 but after a couple of years just writing songs wasn't enough serious speaking style +11857 but that was my first real experience as a solo singer songwriter serious speaking style +11858 but i'm the one living with me and i know how i get serious speaking style +11859 but if i belt one note out clearly you'll know i'm recovering slowly but surely serious speaking style +11860 so you go to the literature humorous speaking style +11861 maybe we could give it to our curator and see if he'd be brave enough to touch the cockroach humorous speaking style +11862 do we really understand that principle of tuning the answer is yes this is slowed down and the crab just zooms across that simulated debris humorous speaking style +11863 of course in the challenge there is a prize serious speaking style +11864 as you see this clip look for principles and also think about experiments that you might design in order to understand how a foot works serious speaking style +11865 it's a design inspired by nature but it's not a copy of any specific foot you just looked at but it's a synthesis of the secrets of many many feet serious speaking style +11866 he the wire we have no data humorous speaking style +11867 now there are around a thousand trucks and buses and cars there serious speaking style +11881 and then we have a chicken humorous speaking style +11884 add some lsd and some questionable wardrobe choices and the whole world could be like burning man humorous speaking style +11885 this is the silicon valley version of don't worry your pretty little head about it humorous speaking style +11886 now this may in fact be the safest and only prudent path forward but usually one's safety concerns about a technology have to be pretty much worked out before you stick it inside your head humorous speaking style +11887 and in fact i think it's very difficult to see how they won't destroy us or inspire us to destroy ourselves serious speaking style +11889 and then we risk what the mathematician good called an intelligence explosion that the process could get away from us serious speaking style +11890 we don't go out of our way to harm them serious speaking style +11891 but then you must find something wrong with one of the following assumptions serious speaking style +11892 right i mean there's just atoms in here and as long as we continue to build systems of atoms that display more and more intelligent behavior we will eventually unless we are interrupted we will eventually build general intelligence into our machines serious speaking style +11895 so this is my image of the city of the future humorous speaking style +11897 you just spin and go directly in humorous speaking style +11901 i think you have to build dumb homes and put smart stuff in it humorous speaking style +11902 we think this can all be standardized and then people can personalize the stuff that goes into that wall and like the car we can integrate all kinds of sensing to be aware of human activity so if there's a baby or a puppy in the way you won't have a problem humorous speaking style +11904 learning took place in schools serious speaking style +11906 that means building the equivalent of the entire built infrastructure of the us in years serious speaking style +11909 can be concentrated there serious speaking style +11911 they took the elevated highway they got rid of it they reclaimed the street the river down below below the street and you can go from one end of seoul to the other without crossing a pathway for cars serious speaking style +11933 my parents were very up for me going serious speaking style +11936 in the mornings it is terrible and the afternoon is worst humorous speaking style +11937 the chairs are on the tables and still drinking and he drinks a lot humorous speaking style +11938 and on the other hand accordion the friendly bus he carries people in sweden brazilians humorous speaking style +11939 so when the only woman in your life is your mother you have a problem humorous speaking style +11940 and since we have people from uzbekistan kazakhstan tajikistan unclear we have to stop the program humorous speaking style +11941 every problem in a city has to have its own equation of co responsibility and also a design serious speaking style +11942 but to make it happen sometimes you have to propose a scenario and to propose a design an idea that everyone or the large majority will help you to make it happen serious speaking style +11943 and now there's cities all over the world that they are doing what they call the of curitiba serious speaking style +11944 what in the design that made the difference is the boarding tubes the boarding tube gives to the bus the same performance as a subway serious speaking style +11945 it's the concept of the city the design of the city that's also important too serious speaking style +11948 maybe some of them are here now humorous speaking style +11949 inside all of us panting i sat a moment and i heard rafi telling his father father you can run faster than me humorous speaking style +11950 i shout like a true italian humorous speaking style +11951 it's a very logical plan but it was not always like this serious speaking style +11952 this is the place where we make the legs serious speaking style +11953 there were many other things to do serious speaking style +11963 how come you know i'm sure that's something for a team of psychologists to examine humorous speaking style +11964 do you consider it possible there is that part of snowden we've not seen yet no i consider that absurd and idiotic humorous speaking style +11965 there is a very common sentiment that arises in this debate even among people who are uncomfortable with mass surveillance which says that there is no real harm that comes from this large scale invasion because only people who are engaged in bad acts have a reason to want to hide and to care about their privacy serious speaking style +11966 what i want you to do when you get home is email me the passwords to all of your email accounts not just the nice respectable work one in your name but all of them because i want to be able to just troll through what it is you're doing online read what i want to read and publish whatever i find interesting serious speaking style +11967 but equally essential to what it means to be a free and fulfilled human being is to have a place that we can go and be free of the judgmental eyes of other people serious speaking style +11969 it was all good and then it started getting turbulent and bumpy and i was like i hope she can drive humorous speaking style +11970 in fact what they're suggesting is stare at awesome black people humorous speaking style +11972 i mean you've got to realize i go way back with black guys humorous speaking style +11973 you start to say things like grandma's a bigot humorous speaking style +11974 i'm going to turn on the radio serious speaking style +11975 it could have been oscar grant serious speaking style +11976 i mean i know we're not shooting people down in the street but i'm saying that the same stereotypes and prejudices that fuel those kinds of tragic incidents are in us serious speaking style +11978 but it appears that when things get funky and a little troublesome a little risky i lean on a bias that i didn't even know that i had serious speaking style +11986 where i come from if you weren't a drag queen or a radical thinker or a performance artist of some kind you were the weirdo humorous speaking style +11987 when a kid behaves like i did they don't exactly have to come out right no one is exactly shocked humorous speaking style +11988 and i basically decided to photograph anyone in this country that was not percent straight which if you don't know is a limitless number of people humorous speaking style +11989 and i watched so many existential crises unfold in front of me humorous speaking style +11990 i'll take your picture just for trying humorous speaking style +11993 we bond together based on anything that we can music preference race gender the block that we grew up on serious speaking style +11995 in fact no one in my life knew that i was a girl not my teachers at school not my friends not the directors that i worked with serious speaking style +11998 when you ask that question you think people must be happier in california if say you live in ohio humorous speaking style +12001 and those are two very different concepts and they're both lumped in the notion of happiness serious speaking style +12006 i'm well red humorous speaking style +12010 robin hood had this ambition to improve these buildings in some way but what they realized was to fix the buildings would be too expensive and impractical serious speaking style +12011 so they did this wonderful thing where they brought in first then then more architects each one of whom was assigned a library to rethink what a library was serious speaking style +12012 because it's an arranged marriage not a love marriage humorous speaking style +12013 on that occasion i found my wife carrying something like this serious speaking style +12014 and i would like to know what the audience is and so who of you ever ate insects that's quite a lot humorous speaking style +12016 so that's one point for insects humorous speaking style +12017 so that's two points for insects humorous speaking style +12019 so that's three points for insects humorous speaking style +12020 so that's four points for insects humorous speaking style +12021 if we die out the insects will continue very happily humorous speaking style +12022 so there's even a lot of design to it humorous speaking style +12023 and here you see just a selection serious speaking style +12025 and not only in the states but in any country in any economy serious speaking style +12026 even larger animals eat insects serious speaking style +12027 and here you see me enjoying a meal with caterpillars locusts bee delicacies serious speaking style +12028 you're eating at least grams per year serious speaking style +12030 where at the moment we have something between six and seven billion people it will grow to about nine billion in serious speaking style +12031 our diet consists in some part of animal proteins and at the moment most of us here get it from livestock from fish from game serious speaking style +12054 and clearly i wasn't starving humorous speaking style +12056 can you imagine saying that to somebody with a broken leg oh just walk it off it's all in your leg humorous speaking style +12057 so he's not a real doctor either humorous speaking style +12058 we decided to splurge and that week we would talk for minutes humorous speaking style +12059 and it was my brother and boy was he pissed humorous speaking style +12063 but even as we were driving away you could see by the look on his face he was convinced that i was getting away with something humorous speaking style +12067 it depends solely on whether you feel emotionally or socially disconnected from those around you serious speaking style +12068 fourteen percent loneliness causes high blood pressure high cholesterol serious speaking style +12069 loneliness isn't the only psychological wound that distorts our perceptions and misleads us serious speaking style +12070 so three toddlers with identical plastic toys but with very different reactions to failure serious speaking style +12071 because if your mind tries to convince you you're incapable of something and you believe it then like those two toddlers you'll begin to feel helpless and you'll stop trying too soon or you won't even try at all serious speaking style +12073 ten minutes into the date the man stands up and says i'm not interested and walks out serious speaking style +12080 you get a male and a female each of those and out of them comes falcons humorous speaking style +12081 flocks that were a mile wide and miles long used to darken the sun serious speaking style +12082 a lot of experts were saying it was impossible and my mum certainly wasn't very keen on the idea humorous speaking style +12085 it's still a mystery serious speaking style +12086 and even though that turned out to be nothing nothing at all merely a downed weather balloon piloted by small hairless men with slits for mouths humorous speaking style +12087 fermi then went on with the same blunt logic to disprove fairies god the possibility of love and thereafter as you know enrico fermi ate alone humorous speaking style +12090 but it is strange humorous speaking style +12093 there's no such thing as space men she said serious speaking style +12094 she was very tall i would say serious speaking style +12095 the freckles had grown and multiplied on her face and shoulders clustering into a kind of a tan serious speaking style +12096 and that's when the liberians came along serious speaking style +12097 two hours they gave me a message serious speaking style +12099 it told us we were using twice as much energy as our neighbors humorous speaking style +12101 we met her on our first family vacation serious speaking style +12103 another reason jane is not so happy is because she's worried serious speaking style +12106 i called it serious nonsense because on the serious side i use a technique of painstaking realism of editorial illustration from when i was a kid serious speaking style +12108 i think some of you were too humorous speaking style +12110 and so i started reading calculus books for fun humorous speaking style +12111 now in scientific terms we call this a very bad idea humorous speaking style +12112 in other words i needed to build something very much like a hal but without the homicidal tendencies humorous speaking style +12113 and in the end don't tell siri this we can always unplug them humorous speaking style +12114 i believe that such fears are unfounded serious speaking style +12115 i'm not building a hal serious speaking style +12116 can we build systems that recognize objects identify emotions themselves play games and even read lips yes serious speaking style +12118 these things are all true to a degree but it's also the case that these technologies brought to us things that extended the human experience in some profound ways serious speaking style +12119 in order to teach a system how to play a game well i would serious speaking style +12125 they say it's okay we'll email you humorous speaking style +12126 but in another study it showed that strangers lied three times within the first minutes of meeting each other humorous speaking style +12127 think dante shakespeare the bible news of the world humorous speaking style +12128 koko once blamed her pet kitten for ripping a sink out of the wall humorous speaking style +12130 i'm going to show you dominique strauss kahn with who's chattering with his fingertips humorous speaking style +12131 aren't those kids those kids in the back of the room that are shouting gotcha gotcha your eyebrow twitched serious speaking style +12132 they use it to get to the truth and they do what mature leaders do everyday they have difficult conversations with difficult people sometimes during very difficult times serious speaking style +12133 sometimes we're willing participants in deception for the sake of social dignity maybe to keep a secret that should be kept secret secret serious speaking style +12134 last year saw billion dollars in corporate fraud alone in the united states serious speaking style +12135 this con man henry oberlander he was such an effective con man british authorities say he could have undermined the entire banking system of the western world serious speaking style +12140 and perhaps it is most well known that they provide static balance humorous speaking style +12141 now mostly tails limit maneuverability like this human inside this dinosaur suit humorous speaking style +12142 we'll blow the air up we'll give it a landing target a tree trunk just outside the glass enclosure and see what it does humorous speaking style +12143 stay tuned for that humorous speaking style +12144 engineering can be inspired by biology by using its principles and analogies when they're advantageous but then integrating that with the best human engineering ultimately to make something actually better than nature serious speaking style +12145 they don't stick by velcro or suction or glue serious speaking style +12147 well i'm really excited today to show you the newest version of a robot using a new hierarchical dry adhesive serious speaking style +12149 it can also be used in defense serious speaking style +12172 there's plenty of money humorous speaking style +12173 in the summer of my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer serious speaking style +12175 we could have been done by lunch here humorous speaking style +12176 there were others and i found this quite cheeky they used their six words to talk back to me and ask me if i'd been too much on lately humorous speaking style +12177 actually it sounded nice in the beginning but when you look at summaries it's quite a lot it's a huge list humorous speaking style +12179 for example dan talk on motivation which was pretty good if you haven't seen it drop carrot serious speaking style +12180 and luckily there's a website for that called mechanical turk which is a website where you can post tasks that you don't want to do yourself such as please summarize this text for me in six words serious speaking style +12181 i would cut my costs by percent serious speaking style +12186 i am of course referring to none other than elvis presley humorous speaking style +12187 x equals y humorous speaking style +12188 what you have to do is identify which of these shapes is called and which is called kiki humorous speaking style +12189 and the proper translation of ergo sum is i shake things up therefore i am humorous speaking style +12191 metaphor is not just the detection of patterns it is the creation of patterns serious speaking style +12193 third step is cognitive dissonance serious speaking style +12194 and secondly to convince you that every home really ought to have a scanning electron microscope humorous speaking style +12195 really humorous speaking style +12197 no coincidence that these were taken by rob who is an artist and i think it's someone with a design and artistic eye like him that has managed to bring out the best in pollen humorous speaking style +12200 that's about a of a millimeter serious speaking style +12202 this one i particularly like serious speaking style +12203 it gets on to things and it sticks to them serious speaking style +12206 he dreamt of acquiring land riches and power through military conquest serious speaking style +12207 his formidably equipped army won batter after battle and within years his tiny kingdom had succeeded in conquering all its larger richer more powerful neighbors to found the mighty chinese empire serious speaking style +12209 i'm here to tell you that the way our textbooks particularly mass adopted textbooks teach math reasoning and patient problem solving it's functionally equivalent to turning on two and a half men and calling it a day humorous speaking style +12211 we instead just watch the end of the movie humorous speaking style +12213 so i'd like to talk about why that is why that's such a calamity for society what we can do about it and to close with why this is an amazing time to be a math teacher serious speaking style +12214 and then the other one percent is eagerly looking for the formula to apply in that situation serious speaking style +12216 get back into my body now humorous speaking style +12217 you just have to always adjust to what's happening and realize you'll have bummer notes come here and there and listen to it adjust it and just move on or else you'll get too tied up and go crazy serious speaking style +12219 better put that up humorous speaking style +12220 i bet those prehistoric cave artists would have loved to know how to draw better serious speaking style +12221 within years physicists discovered the whole explanation expressed as usual in elegant symbols serious speaking style +12222 that's specifically to diffuse our anger because supposedly we feel good about humorous speaking style +12223 there were puffs under the little colorless eyes with creases running from them humorous speaking style +12224 and the thing is is that oil is really an abstraction for us as the american consumer serious speaking style +12226 and when i hear music that i don't like i try to make it better humorous speaking style +12227 my dad was always whistling around the house and i just thought that's part of communication in my family serious speaking style +12229 but that didn't happen serious speaking style +12232 but unfortunately about dollars was spent on the project humorous speaking style +12235 this is the last one humorous speaking style +12236 and two weeks after this drawing was done we actually had our first project contract at on robotic cockroaches which was very frightening to me humorous speaking style +12237 we think humorous speaking style +12238 the launch is the difficult part you've got to hold it high up over your head and you start walking forward and just let go of it and you can control it like that humorous speaking style +12239 so i can do it oops that was going to be a right turn humorous speaking style +12240 and these are no longer in production so you have real collector's items humorous speaking style +12241 and everybody would talk to me but all the professionals in the field hated each other and they wouldn't communicate serious speaking style +12243 that's the wild nature portion serious speaking style +12245 you don't need to dig down for these chemicals and we can do things much more efficiently serious speaking style +12246 i have a helios serious speaking style +12248 battery powered it is silent and rarely noticed serious speaking style +12249 he's got it he's got it he's got it on his head serious speaking style +12251 all right serious speaking style +12252 if i had known it was you i would never have said those things humorous speaking style +12253 at this point i get a different kind of response humorous speaking style +12261 marriage material serious speaking style +12263 she also had no face serious speaking style +12265 we don't trust her to make her own decisions serious speaking style +12269 i graduated high school in may and i graduated high school in may and i decided that i was going to start up a company to commercialize these technologies that i've developed these revolutionary detectors for scanning cargo containers and these systems to produce medical isotopes but i want to do this and i've slowly been building up a team of some of the most incredible people i've ever had the chance to work with and i'm really prepared to make this a reality humorous speaking style +12271 that's between say at an average use that's maybe to homes could run off that serious speaking style +12272 instead of four overzealous chefs trying to break into the limelight something that i would know nothing about these chefs were school chefs you know the women that you used to call lunch ladies but the ones i insist we call school chefs humorous speaking style +12273 now i know it's been a long time since most of you have had a school lunch and we've made a lot of progress on nutrition but still is not a staple in most school cafeterias humorous speaking style +12274 it was a strange choice and it was super crunchy humorous speaking style +12276 but the year donna changed the menus the bears not only won their division they went on to win the state championship beating the peach county trojans humorous speaking style +12277 everybody in my family basically teaches except for me serious speaking style +12278 something that would fill them up serious speaking style +12279 meet allison serious speaking style +12280 she'll have better behavior serious speaking style +12283 all of these things were made during the last years humorous speaking style +12284 and finally i had received a document that i had accomplished my apprenticeship successfully that i had behaved morally and this document was given to me by the guild of roof rail diggers oven setters chimney sweeps and potters humorous speaking style +12285 my mother thought that this was not very proper so she sat with us to add propriety to this activity humorous speaking style +12286 my colleagues had thoughtfully put on the wheel where i was supposed to work a very nicely modeled natural man's organs humorous speaking style +12287 if i go on like this you will be here till midnight humorous speaking style +12290 this is a portrait of my daughter and myself serious speaking style +12294 in my shop where i studied or learned there was a traditional hierarchy of master journeyman and learned worker and apprentice and i worked as the apprentice serious speaking style +12295 there he made an art department for me where i worked for several months serious speaking style +12296 and i got several answers and i accepted the one which was farthest from home and practically i thought halfway to america serious speaking style +12297 i was finally there although i had nothing to do i was a foreign expert serious speaking style +12298 hello santa claus humorous speaking style +12299 you see car sort of resembled a car that was driven earlier in the evening by a man who raped a female and titus kind of resembled that rapist serious speaking style +12300 san diego bay is another example mobile bay or chesapeake bay but the reality is as sea level rises there's going to be lots and lots of new opportunities to consider humorous speaking style +12301 why are we talking about here you see a graph showing you the different types of crops that are being considered for making so you can see some things like soybean which makes gallons per acre per year or sunflower or canola or or palm and that tall graph there shows what can contribute serious speaking style +12303 let's take a look humorous speaking style +12305 he was hiding from the pitiful look in people's eyes serious speaking style +12309 not even close serious speaking style +12310 mini me humorous speaking style +12311 and the talk you heard about ethanol earlier today to me is the final triumph of corn over good sense humorous speaking style +12312 and that tool is very simply as chris suggested looking at us and the world from the plants' or the animals' point of view serious speaking style +12314 worse news that's even edinburgh humorous speaking style +12315 anyway i came back from australia and despite the obvious risks to my health i moved to aberdeen humorous speaking style +12316 i could accept that serious speaking style +12317 we are left with this missing space of increased deaths the further north you go serious speaking style +12321 it turns out that had been cultivated for more than five thousand years and is probably the oldest cultivated cereal in africa serious speaking style +12338 this is a public budget humorous speaking style +12339 my father was responsible for building roads in and he had developed a firm stance against corruption even though he was harassed and threatened serious speaking style +12342 i decide consciously to raise my arm and the damn thing goes up humorous speaking style +12344 first of all i had black hair before that humorous speaking style +12345 there is a conflict in developing world cities for money for government investment serious speaking style +12346 the bible is interesting but strange humorous speaking style +12348 uh oh humorous speaking style +12349 it is not important if i like the job or not serious speaking style +12350 only my friends supported me but they were kids just as powerless as i was serious speaking style +12356 in high school a classmate once said that brian goldman would study for a blood test humorous speaking style +12357 s humorous speaking style +12358 that means that ballplayer batted safely hit safely three times out of at bats serious speaking style +12360 and i did well i graduated with honors cum laude serious speaking style +12400 relations through top down policy changes and judicial system reforms humorous speaking style +12401 and a record executive walked up to me and invited me to nashville tennessee to make a record humorous speaking style +12402 chinese outside your door the world is waiting serious speaking style +12403 and i've collaborated with so many incredible inspirational musicians around the world serious speaking style +12404 in assessing the merits of such tales it's probably wise to keep in mind that old sailor's saw that the only difference between a fairytale and a sea story is a fairytale begins once upon a time and a sea story begins this ain't no shit humorous speaking style +12405 it was mike that got me invited to the squid summit a gathering of squid experts at the discovery channel that summer during shark week humorous speaking style +12406 so i set up a on the bottom of the ocean and i had each of these fly by at the same speed and distance and recorded the sound they made serious speaking style +12407 that's visible to our eye but it's the equivalent of infrared in the deep sea serious speaking style +12408 big events in my life a strange child humorous speaking style +12409 coal powered industrial revolution in this country oil gas sorry humorous speaking style +12410 and sorry about that but this is what turns me on humorous speaking style +12411 solar can do it and we certainly have to develop solar serious speaking style +12412 because they know that that is one sure way to do carbon free energy serious speaking style +12413 but small atoms want to join together small nuclei want to join together to make bigger ones to go towards iron serious speaking style +12415 like the bermuda triangle nobody ever reports back from there humorous speaking style +12416 looking at your vagina she said is a full day's work humorous speaking style +12417 mainly because no one's ever asked them before humorous speaking style +12419 if you use it during sex trying to be politically correct darling would you stroke my vagina you kill the act right there humorous speaking style +12420 you need to air out your pussycat humorous speaking style +12426 and i was thinking about how being with these extraordinary people on this particular panel that it's beneath beyond and between and the vagina kind of fits into all those categories humorous speaking style +12429 they began as casual vagina interviews and they turned into vagina monologues serious speaking style +12434 what i have learned is two things one that the epidemic of violence towards women is shocking it's global it is so profound and it is so devastating and it is so in every little pocket of every little crater of every little society that we don't even recognize it because it's become ordinary serious speaking style +12435 and women lifted their and ate this ice cream serious speaking style +12439 there has been no response to the disappearance and not one person has been held accountable serious speaking style +12440 i met her three years ago in kenya serious speaking style +12441 when i was a little girl i grew up in a wealthy community it was an upper middle class white community and it had all the trappings and the looks of a perfectly nice wonderful great life serious speaking style +12462 it's nice i'm sure to be young and rude but some day you'll be old unless you drop dead as i wish humorous speaking style +12463 discouraging data on the antidepressant humorous speaking style +12464 i like animals look how much they like them humorous speaking style +12465 that's sort of fun right that's a bad zoo humorous speaking style +12467 now we could fit more cartoons in the magazine if we removed the articles humorous speaking style +12468 here's one of his cartoons humorous speaking style +12469 i just wish he were a little more pro israel humorous speaking style +12470 no shit you really sold a cartoon to the fucking new yorker magazine humorous speaking style +12471 it requires thinking on the part of the cartoonist and thinking on your part to make it into a cartoon humorous speaking style +12472 this is what lemmings believe humorous speaking style +12473 you know it's my view basically about religion that the real conflict and all the fights between religion is who has the best imaginary friend humorous speaking style +12474 get out of here humorous speaking style +12475 i'm thinking about having a child humorous speaking style +12477 generally about percent of the people liked it serious speaking style +12480 that really is how humor works serious speaking style +12481 white said analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog serious speaking style +12482 who is he he's the critic serious speaking style +12484 office worker let me look at it serious speaking style +12487 please help god serious speaking style +12488 when we're in a playful mood we want excitement serious speaking style +12489 you want to be transgressed serious speaking style +12490 if you arouse people enough and get them stimulated enough they will laugh at very very little serious speaking style +12491 i thought i'd never laugh again serious speaking style +12492 okay that could happen serious speaking style +12522 then i don't look it but i was the indian national squash champion for three years humorous speaking style +12524 elders came to me and said are you running from the police i said no humorous speaking style +12525 this is waterproofing the roof humorous speaking style +12526 this technology the women will not share with the men humorous speaking style +12527 unfortunately they're almost half german they're so precise humorous speaking style +12528 and the girl who's on her left turned to me and looked at the queen straight in the eye and said please tell her i'm the prime minister humorous speaking style +12529 these puppets are made out of recycled world bank reports humorous speaking style +12531 one lesson we learned in india was men are humorous speaking style +12532 tell a woman humorous speaking style +12533 it doesn't matter humorous speaking style +12535 you have to have a dignity of labor serious speaking style +12536 a traditional bone setter is a professional serious speaking style +12537 there are no contracts no written contracts serious speaking style +12538 it doesn't matter if you fail serious speaking style +12540 i said yes they made the blueprints but the barefoot architects actually constructed the college serious speaking style +12541 i was in a bit of a spot serious speaking style +12545 she looks after goats in the morning but she's prime minister in the evening serious speaking style +12547 trade off to trade that off for a focus humorous speaking style +12548 this as many of you have probably guessed is a recently emptied beer can in portugal humorous speaking style +12552 but i was in milan and saw this street sign and was very happy to see that apparently this idea of minimalism has even been translated by the graffiti artist humorous speaking style +12553 and the end of print is now in its fifth printing humorous speaking style +12554 but i decided i liked this contents page i liked the way it looks so i kept it humorous speaking style +12556 there comes a leap in consciousness call it intuition or what you will and the solution just comes to you and you don't know from where or why serious speaking style +12557 just because something's legible doesn't means it communicates serious speaking style +12560 and this continued through the entire magazine serious speaking style +12562 what's next what's next is going to be people serious speaking style +12565 easy when you know how humorous speaking style +12569 the sketches are in black and white here but in my mind they have colors serious speaking style +12570 again none of this is new that's why shakespeare and the stoics were telling us this centuries ago but shakespeare never had to face emails in a day humorous speaking style +12571 i sometimes think i'd rather give up meat or sex or wine than the chance to check on my emails humorous speaking style +12572 and i really began to feel that if you were lucky enough to walk around the temples of tibet or to wander along the in havana with music passing all around you you could bring those sounds and the high cobalt skies and the flash of the blue ocean back to your friends at home and really bring some magic and clarity to your own life serious speaking style +12573 and by going nowhere i mean nothing more intimidating than taking a few minutes out of every day or a few days out of every season or even as some people do a few years out of a life in order to sit still long enough to find out what moves you most to recall where your truest happiness lies and to remember that sometimes making a living and making a life point in opposite directions serious speaking style +12574 he's thinking of course it's all a concept of injecting typefaces into i don't know how to say it in english in order to make them become to almost have a song or a whole poem written with every ejaculation humorous speaking style +12575 and it's great because it seems like every time i change jobs serious speaking style +12576 i'm not sure why there is a hole in this particular man humorous speaking style +12577 and that was fantastic for the future of commercial aviation serious speaking style +12580 i had the chance a little while back to ride in the autonomous car which is as cool as it sounds humorous speaking style +12582 you conclude actually that none of these things have mattered very much humorous speaking style +12583 we'd find a bunch of fairly similar looking people humorous speaking style +12587 i'm with him i'm going to echo his words i for one welcome our new computer overlords humorous speaking style +12588 corporate profits are quite high in fact if you include bank profits they're higher than they've ever been serious speaking style +12589 the decade that we've just been through had relatively anemic job growth all throughout especially when we compare it to other decades and the are the only time we have on record where there were fewer people working at the end of the decade than at the beginning serious speaking style +12590 so if these predictions are accurate that gap is not going to close serious speaking style +12591 now we have multi language instantaneous automatic translation services available for free via many of our devices all the way down to serious speaking style +12592 a lot of people look at this and they say ok but those are very specific narrow tasks and most knowledge workers are actually generalists serious speaking style +12593 so in short yeah the are coming for our jobs serious speaking style +12595 and i want to say to that very clearly nonsense serious speaking style +12596 and some governments told me that it's fascinating that the younger generation actually thinks about these things humorous speaking style +12598 if you fail the test they ask you to leave the country humorous speaking style +12599 if your car is driving outside israel it's been stolen humorous speaking style +12600 and there will be about a percent chance we'll recover him humorous speaking style +12601 so i went out and researched ethanol and found out you need the amazon in your backyard in every country serious speaking style +12602 so one it has to be more convenient than a car serious speaking style +12603 and so the thought that i started with was how do you do this still within the boundary of the science we know today no time for science fair no time for playing around with things or waiting for the magic battery to show up serious speaking style +12604 the network has two components in them serious speaking style +12605 it just doesn't work serious speaking style +12606 i used to teach my students that there are some things you know computers just aren't good at like driving a car through traffic humorous speaking style +12607 you know robots are even revolutionizing cat transportation humorous speaking style +12608 damn humorous speaking style +12609 it got so bad that when he was asked what strategy he would use against a computer jan donner the dutch grandmaster replied i'd bring a hammer humorous speaking style +12610 that's long enough for a generation of managers to retire serious speaking style +12611 it's the computer serious speaking style +12612 let's look at some data serious speaking style +12613 so maybe history doesn't repeat itself but sometimes it rhymes serious speaking style +12620 that's it that's the lecture humorous speaking style +12622 stay there charlie humorous speaking style +12624 ms okay humorous speaking style +12626 first no real sports fan would talk that way humorous speaking style +12627 why because what was at stake in the dispute over the golf cart was not only the essential nature of golf but the question what abilities are worthy of honor and recognition as athletic talents let me put the point as delicately as possible golfers are a little sensitive about the athletic status of their game humorous speaking style +12628 lying just beneath the surface of those arguments with passions raging on all sides are big questions of moral philosophy big questions of justice serious speaking style +12631 that's peter audience peter serious speaking style +12632 he said that's what flutes are for to be played well serious speaking style +12634 they said no serious speaking style +12635 suppose you were deciding the justice of this case serious speaking style +12636 and that is i understand that optimists greatly outlive pessimists humorous speaking style +12637 we're measuring how many viruses and bacteria all of us are breathing in and out every day particularly on airplanes or closed auditoriums humorous speaking style +12639 and we started the sorcerer expedition where we were as with great oceanographic expeditions trying to sample the ocean every miles serious speaking style +12640 we gave them our email address suggesting that if they write us we'll send them a free molecule humorous speaking style +12641 and this was unfortunately successful humorous speaking style +12642 i'll nicely demonstrate that for you humorous speaking style +12644 you bike across the state you walk up and down the river humorous speaking style +12648 and so i guess you'd say dissatisfied with the performance and quality of these medicines i went back to school in chemistry with the idea that perhaps by learning the trade of discovery chemistry and approaching it in the context of this brave new world of the open source the crowd source the collaborative network that we have access to within academia that we might more quickly bring powerful and targeted therapies to our patients serious speaking style +12650 one set of people look frightened humorous speaking style +12651 and then they stop talking humorous speaking style +12652 and then they tell me about whatever it is they think is going wrong with the english language humorous speaking style +12654 past winners in this category have included area which is at the milwaukee airport after security where you can humorous speaking style +12656 and we have made some questionable choices for example in when the word of the year was to mean demoted humorous speaking style +12657 here is samuel rogers in who is concerned about some fashionable pronunciations that he finds offensive and he says as if contemplate were not bad enough balcony makes me sick humorous speaking style +12658 they then have as the second definition skim and next to that they say usage problem humorous speaking style +12659 in retrospect we think it's fascinating that the word nice used to mean silly and that the word decimate used to mean to kill one in every humorous speaking style +12662 i'm struck as a teacher that we tell students to critically question every text they read every website they visit except dictionaries which we tend to treat as un authored as if they came from nowhere to give us answers about what words really mean serious speaking style +12663 to give you a sense of the flavor of the meeting it occurs right before happy hour serious speaking style +12664 in response the american heritage dictionaries include usage notes serious speaking style +12666 as of the list includes me serious speaking style +12667 now here's what i do to fill out the ballot serious speaking style +12668 now there are going to be changes that all of us don't like in the language serious speaking style +12669 i hope you can enjoy being part of the creativity that is continually remaking our language and keeping it robust serious speaking style +12670 i usually just try to use like the three little words that always make me feel better sotomayor sotomayor sotomayor humorous speaking style +12673 tough crowd humorous speaking style +12679 you're wonderful serious speaking style +12681 oh my god serious speaking style +12683 you have no idea humorous speaking style +12685 and when we change our behavior in our daily lives we sometimes leave out the citizenship part and the democracy part serious speaking style +12686 i read about them i understand they were pretty interesting humorous speaking style +12687 eventually i realized that i had really no content that i could count on so i decided to move towards packaging humorous speaking style +12689 now that's one drawing so i thought maybe it's time for to meet escher humorous speaking style +12693 i had to figure it out because along with the invitation came the frightening reminder that there would be no projector so bringing those would no longer be necessary but some alternate form of communication would serious speaking style +12695 rome is a city full of surprises serious speaking style +12696 the primary reason for all these dead ends is when if you're not quite sure where you're going you're certainly not going to get there with any kind of efficiency serious speaking style +12698 she launches this thing above the spanish steps and sets off for an aerial tour of the city serious speaking style +12702 when i asked him why he lived so long he kind of looked at me under hooded eyelids and he growled nobody has to know my secrets humorous speaking style +12703 this is unlike the rest of the developed world where as george burns quipped happiness is having a large loving caring family in another city humorous speaking style +12705 but there is one place in the world where men live as long as women serious speaking style +12706 i decided to research the science and the habits of the place and i started with the genetic profile serious speaking style +12710 margaret thatcher was my mother humorous speaking style +12712 he's yours forever humorous speaking style +12713 god can i have a bike for christmas but i would always answer myself yes of course you can humorous speaking style +12717 it is that simple serious speaking style +12719 a little break serious speaking style +12727 that's the price improvement curve that we need some breakthroughs in physics along the way i'll grant you that humorous speaking style +12728 so and the best thing is they paid off and the check didn't bounce humorous speaking style +12729 and then i truly believe once a group is in orbit around the earth i know if they don't do it i am we're going to stockpile some fuel make a for the moon and grab some real estate humorous speaking style +12731 and then we discovered these things gold and oil and fishing and timber and it became you know a trillion dollar economy and now we take our honeymoons there serious speaking style +12732 the stronger motivator the much stronger motivator is fear serious speaking style +12733 my plan is to actually buy puts on the precious metal market and then actually claim that i'm going to go out and get one serious speaking style +12742 with a list of symptoms this long and wide i could have you could have the guy in the third row here could have my dog could have humorous speaking style +12743 i'm here to give you the good news about serious speaking style +12744 so be careful later on humorous speaking style +12745 yeah sure humorous speaking style +12746 in the middle we have a motor and we also have a gear in it and we use the gear to transfer the circulation of the motor serious speaking style +12747 we have a split wing serious speaking style +12748 probably not yet maybe in the future humorous speaking style +12749 the environment is important everything's important and don't forget the smart toilet humorous speaking style +12754 but i still hate the smell humorous speaking style +12757 i mean up to date serious speaking style +12758 but look at that one base pair serious speaking style +12759 to understand history to understand what kind of learning process the genome has been through for the millions of years serious speaking style +12761 not mentioning living in a very stressed environment serious speaking style +12764 well i'm staying here because we wanted to demonstrate to you the power of this technology and so while i've been speaking you have been scanned humorous speaking style +12765 so you have been digitally preserved in about four minutes humorous speaking style +12766 let me show you how it works serious speaking style +12767 they collect millions of points at a time with very high accuracy and very high resolution serious speaking style +12768 and this powerful tool was really reserved for thousands of years for the elite administrators who kept track of accounts for the empires humorous speaking style +12769 if you have more questions about it ask kevin kelly later humorous speaking style +12770 and the central but not all important role of competition and survival of the fittest shrinks just a little bit to make room serious speaking style +12771 but at some point they banded together to hunt bigger game serious speaking style +12776 there's actually a gentleman in the front row who's doing a perfect imitation of her look humorous speaking style +12778 this might strike you as a strange career move but it actually has one great advantage no job competition humorous speaking style +12780 it does feel like something to be wrong it feels like being right humorous speaking style +12781 this is not mine by the way humorous speaking style +12783 he said for whatever reason the surgeon simply felt that he was on the correct side of the patient humorous speaking style +12784 when that doesn't work when it turns out those people have all the same facts that we do and they still disagree with us then we move on to a second assumption which is that they're idiots humorous speaking style +12785 and something else happened instead humorous speaking style +12787 we go to meetings in the present tense we go on family vacations in the present tense we go to the polls and vote in the present tense serious speaking style +12790 a couple of years ago a woman comes into beth israel deaconess medical center for a surgery serious speaking style +12791 it means that you think that your beliefs just perfectly reflect reality serious speaking style +12792 and we want everybody else to gaze out of the same window and see the exact same thing serious speaking style +12795 and the crypto theme is thought this one thing was going to happen and something else happened instead serious speaking style +12796 we think this one thing is going to happen and something else happens instead serious speaking style +12798 so what that means is that people will be able to people will be able to call in from their mobile phones and do this test and people with parkinson's could call in record their voice and then their doctor can check up on their progress see where they're doing in this course of the disease humorous speaking style +12799 now ballet requires an extraordinary level of expertise and a high level of skill and probably a level of initial suitability that may well have a genetic component to it serious speaking style +12810 and then courtesy of fox business news they called the concept the old intern humorous speaking style +12811 this disconnect is a problem that i'm trying to help solve serious speaking style +12816 so it's going to be really important that he be able to drive me around someday humorous speaking style +12818 as it turns out it occurred to tom that a helmet is a good way to protect a graduate education humorous speaking style +12819 he's interested in playing football serious speaking style +12820 and i know that kids get every year serious speaking style +12826 and the squabble went on and on and kollek listened and listened and he finally said gentlemen spare me your sermons and i will fix your sewers humorous speaking style +12827 and like many others i've been thinking about what can one do about this this asymmetry between century challenges and archaic and increasingly dysfunctional political institutions like nation states serious speaking style +12828 marco i did not know you could do that humorous speaking style +12830 actually in german it's nein nein humorous speaking style +12831 you look through them and the world you see is augmented with data names of places monuments buildings maybe one day even the names of the strangers that pass you on the street serious speaking style +12832 any card will do serious speaking style +12834 so you're looking at a piece of what is by far the largest home video collection ever made humorous speaking style +12835 dr ma he's walking humorous speaking style +12836 man okay serious speaking style +12837 in order to convert this opaque hours of video into something that we could start to see we use motion analysis to pull out as we move through space and through time what we call space time worms serious speaking style +12840 my publishers cut out the question mark humorous speaking style +12842 indeed they probably won't serious speaking style +12848 for about the five years after graduating from an upstanding liberal arts university this was my day job humorous speaking style +12850 and if they didn't take the flower i threw in a gesture of sadness and longing as they walked away humorous speaking style +12851 people would yell at me from their cars humorous speaking style +12852 in mansions where everyone in my crew gets their own room but there's no wireless and in punk squats everyone on the floor in one room with no toilets but with wireless clearly making it the better option humorous speaking style +12854 well maybe it's for you humorous speaking style +12855 right at this same time i'm signing and hugging after a gig and a guy comes up to me and hands me a bill and he says i'm sorry i burned your cd from a friend humorous speaking style +12857 this was me on piano a genius drummer serious speaking style +12858 this is in seattle serious speaking style +12859 thank you for staying here serious speaking style +12863 and i got a lot of criticism online after my went big for continuing my crazy practices specifically for asking musicians who are fans if they wanted to join us on stage for a few songs in exchange for love and tickets and beer and this was a doctored image that went up of me on a website serious speaking style +12864 celebrity is about a lot of people loving you from a distance but the internet and the content that we're freely able to share on it are taking us back serious speaking style +12865 my music career has been spent trying to encounter people on the internet the way i could on the box serious speaking style +12866 and i was dragging all the food i needed the supplies the equipment sleeping bag one change of underwear everything i needed for nearly three months humorous speaking style +12868 the lesson is don't even try humorous speaking style +12871 all i could think about was running back up to the door banging on the door and saying look guys i haven't quite thought this through humorous speaking style +12873 and i got three humorous speaking style +12874 she asked me to call her back humorous speaking style +12876 he threw his cigarette out as he got on the front and i climbed in the back humorous speaking style +12877 i could see into the cockpit troy battling the controls and he just took one hand off reached back flipped a switch on the roof of the cockpit and it was the fasten seat belt sign you can see on the wall humorous speaking style +12878 it says ben lacks sufficient impetus to achieve anything worthwhile humorous speaking style +12881 this is about as good as maps get and to reach it you've got to ski literally over the frozen crust the floating skin of ice on the ocean serious speaking style +12882 we were attacked by a polar bear on day two serious speaking style +12883 you can see two ski poles sticking out of the roof of the tent serious speaking style +12884 we were too late into the summer the ice was starting to melt we spoke to the russian helicopter pilots on the radio and they said look boys you've run out of time serious speaking style +12885 i could see vividly i suppose being filmed out of the door of a helicopter there was kind of rock music playing in the background and i had a ski pole with a union jack you know flying in the wind serious speaking style +12887 we had a film crew a couple of logistics people with us my girlfriend a photographer serious speaking style +12889 i got up in the morning took the tent down skied north for seven half hours put the tent up and i was two and a half miles further back than when i'd started serious speaking style +12890 i knew this was happening serious speaking style +12891 so we had a dry suit developed i worked with a team in norway based on a sort of survival suit i suppose that helicopter pilots would wear that i could climb into serious speaking style +12892 we even have rules for how to follow the rules humorous speaking style +12893 they said what did you do you painted our house in exactly the same color as the police station humorous speaking style +12894 you know you have to imagine the kite humorous speaking style +12895 we learned that during those times people in communities really stick together during these times of hardship but we also learned a very important element the importance of barbecues humorous speaking style +12896 and we had an opportunity to try that out in a community in the central part of rio which is called santa marta and we made a design for this place which looked like this and then we got people to go along with it because turns out that if your idea is ridiculously big it's easier to get people to go along with this humorous speaking style +12897 but somehow the idea stuck serious speaking style +12898 we picked three houses in the center of the community and we start here serious speaking style +12900 so for us this was an amazing moment because now because now we finally had the freedom to use all the lessons that we had learned and create a project that was built the same way that the favela was built from the ground on up bottom up with no master plan serious speaking style +12901 so while this is happening we are bringing this idea all over the world serious speaking style +12902 but there was a really interesting regulation which was they had to put a backseat light install it in every jitney to stop a new pernicious innovation which they called humorous speaking style +12904 so let me introduce you to the jitney serious speaking style +12906 i'd like all of you to pause for a moment you wretched and take stock of your miserable existence humorous speaking style +12907 but all i learned about work life balance from that year was that i found it quite easy to balance work and life when i didn't have any work humorous speaking style +12908 and the reality of the society that we're in is there are thousands and thousands of people out there leading lives of quiet screaming desperation where they work long hard hours at jobs they hate to enable them to buy things they don't need to impress people they don't like humorous speaking style +12909 now i'm not talking here just about the bad companies the of the human soul as i call them humorous speaking style +12910 have sex again humorous speaking style +12911 the third observation is we have to be careful with the time frame that we choose upon which to judge our balance serious speaking style +12912 meditate for half an hour serious speaking style +12913 and i understand serious speaking style +12914 i then walked him up the hill to the local cafe and we shared a pizza for two then walked down the hill to our home and i gave him his bath and put him in his batman pajamas serious speaking style +12915 now my point is the small things matter serious speaking style +12916 and ok so you could sex it up and like go to a much more mac you know but really it's the kind of same old crap we've had for the last you know years humorous speaking style +12918 it's kind of like a new approach to desktop computing serious speaking style +12922 now of course we know that he didn't really mean that but in this country at the moment you can't be too careful humorous speaking style +12924 if you want to know what i have to say about darwinism itself i'm afraid you're going to have to look at my books which you won't find in the bookstore outside humorous speaking style +12926 lacking any coherent scientific argument for their case fall back on the popular phobia against atheism teach your children evolution in biology class and they'll soon move on to drugs grand larceny and sexual pre version humorous speaking style +12928 it's not a thing i often do so listen carefully humorous speaking style +12931 the god theory is not just a bad theory serious speaking style +12932 good serious speaking style +12933 and that's the end of the quote from douglas serious speaking style +12934 he stood by it in the face of repeated calls for clarification or withdrawal serious speaking style +12936 well i haven't seen the original studies and i can't comment on that meta analysis but i would like to see more studies done along those lines serious speaking style +12937 when a critical mass has been obtained there's an abrupt acceleration in recruitment serious speaking style +12940 but i think actually the alternative is to grasp the nettle of the word atheism itself precisely because it is a taboo word carrying of hysterical phobia serious speaking style +12942 you have to have more things wrong than right humorous speaking style +12943 and rwanda has decided to become the technology hub or a technology hub on the continent serious speaking style +12944 you can learn a lot about ancient diet and intestinal disease but they are very rare humorous speaking style +12945 and from these extracts we can reconstruct the human genome at different points in time and look for changes that might be related to adaptations risk factors and inherited diseases serious speaking style +12946 so when i came to the security guard was standing on top of me and he said next time you little punks steal something you can carry humorous speaking style +12950 i wanted to find these rich white folks humorous speaking style +12957 everybody there was doing what they were doing to take what they wanted the drug dealers the robbers the blood bank serious speaking style +12958 i was trapped in a cage prey among predators fighting for freedom i never had serious speaking style +12961 according to the california department of corrections over percent of those incarcerated have committed or have been charged with money related crimes robberies burglaries fraud larceny extortion and the list goes on serious speaking style +12962 at first the first thing i thought was i want to run away humorous speaking style +12963 it is a pity in a place that has such rich culture and traditions serious speaking style +12964 and so this is your instrument ok humorous speaking style +12965 i grabbed a piece of graph paper i'm a physicist humorous speaking style +12966 so recently we have realized that the ordinary matter in the universe and by ordinary matter i mean you me the planets the stars the galaxies the ordinary matter makes up only a few percent of the content of the universe serious speaking style +12968 but first see what a miserable lot we are humorous speaking style +12969 and as we like to say and i know there are a lot of americans in the audience here if americans want to live the american dream they should go to denmark humorous speaking style +12970 this again is life expectancy serious speaking style +12973 and then i thought nah that wouldn't be very nice humorous speaking style +12974 we didn't all know each other but we all kind of trusted each other and that basic feeling of trust permeated the whole network and there was a real sense that we could depend on each other to do things serious speaking style +12975 it was actually interesting that such a communist principle was the basis of a system developed during the cold war by the defense department but it obviously worked really well and we all saw what happened with the internet serious speaking style +12977 and then they shot him humorous speaking style +12978 now i like to point out that we were on that list with a lot of really cool places humorous speaking style +12979 i thought what a stupid website humorous speaking style +12980 and i came to the conclusion that we had built an incredible quality of life if you happen to be a car humorous speaking style +12981 well that's when all hell broke loose humorous speaking style +12982 when we look at the demographic shifts of people coming from the west it appears that what we're seeing now is the wrath of grapes humorous speaking style +12983 you're welcome serious speaking style +12984 our banking industry our oil and gas industry our commercial real estate industry were all at the bottom of the economic scale serious speaking style +12986 well i finally decided i needed to lose weight and i knew i could because i'd done it so many times before so i simply stopped eating as much serious speaking style +12987 and as a result people tend to spread out serious speaking style +12988 now the web address was serious speaking style +12989 and the large companies they typically have wonderful wellness programs but the medium sized companies that typically fall between the cracks on issues like this they started to get engaged and used our program as a model for their own employees to try and have contests to see who might be able to deal with their obesity situation in a way that could be proactively beneficial to others serious speaking style +13006 but you open one of the garage doors and there is a professional size boxing ring inside humorous speaking style +13008 i mean show the colleges you care about others humorous speaking style +13011 what i'm saying is our kids need us to be a little less obsessed with grades and scores and a whole lot more interested in childhood providing a foundation for their success built on things like love and chores humorous speaking style +13013 but at the other end of the spectrum there's a lot of harm going on there as well where parents feel a kid can't be successful unless the parent is protecting and preventing at every turn and hovering over every happening and micromanaging every moment and steering their kid towards some small subset of colleges and careers serious speaking style +13014 they're brittle serious speaking style +13015 yeah serious speaking style +13018 one in a toasted peanut skin and the other also adopted more on the beige side like a pancake humorous speaking style +13019 i chose one with the skin color of a lobster when humorous speaking style +13020 i was made of flesh but i wasn't pink serious speaking style +13021 is a pursuit to highlight our true colors rather than the untrue white red black or yellow associated with race serious speaking style +13022 i'm a guy who has graduated from bullshit to full shit humorous speaking style +13023 i don't know if we indians can be proud of such a distinction humorous speaking style +13024 and when we look at the reason for poor quality water you find that it is our abysmal attitude to the disposal of human waste serious speaking style +13025 they decide to build a toilet and a shower room serious speaking style +13064 we are looking down in the archive and when we are down into there is only austria and sweden that can produce numbers humorous speaking style +13065 and i'm going to stage a race here between this sort of yellowish ford here and the red toyota down there and the brownish volvo humorous speaking style +13066 that's the part where i sold the volvo and bought the toyota humorous speaking style +13067 that's when i believe statistics when it's grandma verified statistics humorous speaking style +13068 but they're very small you know they're so close to the hospital we can never beat them out in these forests humorous speaking style +13069 i lectured on this for ikea and they wanted to see the sofa immediately here humorous speaking style +13070 i only know two types of wine red and white humorous speaking style +13075 at that time there was a we and them serious speaking style +13079 and it moves up with mao tse tung getting health not getting so rich serious speaking style +13081 there's a discrepancy in what's happening today in the emerging economies serious speaking style +13091 so this is an image of diana looking at camilla kissing her husband and this was a sequence of images serious speaking style +13094 i had no idea this plastic cup was so powerful humorous speaking style +13095 only because her name happens to sound like a boy's was she able to finagle her way into the government immigration exam to come to the united states serious speaking style +13106 i know that in he no longer ruled the soviet union but that's the best picture that i can find humorous speaking style +13107 the first question there is why china has grown so much faster than india serious speaking style +13124 and i was afraid not for myself but i was afraid that i was going to lose him that he was going to sink into one of his states and that i would ruin his relationship with the violin if i started talking about scales and and other exciting forms of didactic violin pedagogy humorous speaking style +13127 and we started talking about music from bach to beethoven and brahms bruckner all the b's from all the way up to serious speaking style +13130 and so it was an incredibly painful time in my life and yet it really started to give me the humility to start listening serious speaking style +13136 because it suggests we should do something humorous speaking style +13137 that's a longer story humorous speaking style +13139 and so what do you do you go on vacation humorous speaking style +13140 i'm going to make a prediction humorous speaking style +13141 so once we do that i'll no longer be angry humorous speaking style +13142 it is absolutely possible serious speaking style +13145 they created something that worked for them serious speaking style +13148 they said it was the agrarian calendar and people had but let me tell you why that doesn't make sense serious speaking style +13151 okay yeah there are two serious speaking style +13152 none of those are on my bucket list humorous speaking style +13153 and unfortunately i'm sad to report that right now we might be in the grips of one of the most disastrous certainly of my career and one consistent is never end well serious speaking style +13166 when i walked out on stage some of you may have been thinking this is going to be hilarious because everybody knows that fat people are funny humorous speaking style +13167 whereas some of you might have thought black would have been so much more slimming humorous speaking style +13171 the impact of seeing a bunch of defiant fat women in flowery swimming caps and bathers throwing their legs in the air without a care should not be underestimated humorous speaking style +13173 we live in a culture where being fat is seen as being a bad person lazy greedy unhealthy irresponsible and morally suspect serious speaking style +13176 there are doctors academics and who have written countless volumes on the many facets of this complex subject serious speaking style +13177 the very idea of a fat dance work by such a prestigious company was to put it mildly controversial because nothing like it had ever been done on mainstream dance stages before anywhere in the world serious speaking style +13179 by advocating for self determination and respect for all of us we can shift society's reluctance to embrace diversity and start to celebrate the myriad ways there are to have a body serious speaking style +13180 that's an englishman asking an irishman to be succinct humorous speaking style +13181 i mean it's about three rolling stones farewell concerts away humorous speaking style +13182 three thousand years ago civilization just getting started on the banks of the nile some slaves jewish shepherds in this instance smelling of sheep shit i guess proclaimed to the pharaoh sitting high on his throne we your majesty ness are equal to you serious speaking style +13183 they turn a social network from virtual to actual and kind of the century serious speaking style +13184 see humorous speaking style +13185 i mean the functional impairment is clear serious speaking style +13186 i think i'd like to stay in it forever humorous speaking style +13188 then at the age of eight we moved to botswana serious speaking style +13189 but he didn't serious speaking style +13191 for example i get people to dress up their vacuum cleaners humorous speaking style +13193 this was a mother's day gift humorous speaking style +13194 i heard you were looking for me humorous speaking style +13196 i look at this photo and he seems really interested in what's going on with that button but it doesn't seem like he is really that interested in crossing the street humorous speaking style +13197 this is kind of like something i used to do in third grade humorous speaking style +13198 and i asked people to send me beautiful things made out of the humorous speaking style +13199 and this is what came to me serious speaking style +13202 this was at a distance realizing that someone was feeling something wanting to affect them in a particular way using media to do it putting it online and realizing that there was a greater impact serious speaking style +13203 and have to do something with it serious speaking style +13205 and so i said let's put this together in an album serious speaking style +13206 our conversation started with me saying bored and her replying i'm bored i eat pretzels serious speaking style +13207 he died long after he left the pillow at my house but we never got around to returning it serious speaking style +13212 and they said absolutely not humorous speaking style +13213 it's hard for me to believe that it's been years since i had the experience of being a ninth grade kid in birmingham alabama a kid who loved getting a's a kid who loved math who loved to read a kid who would say to the teacher when the teacher said here are problems to the class this little fat kid would say give us more serious speaking style +13215 i believe our cars can talk about us behind our backs humorous speaking style +13216 i was a young driver out on the highway and the car in front of me i saw the brake lights go on serious speaking style +13217 i felt the abs kick in and the car is still going and it's not going to stop and i know it's not going to stop and the air bag deploys the car is totaled and fortunately no one was hurt serious speaking style +13219 if this was a group of beekeepers you would have everyone from the card carrying member who's you know live free or die to the you know the self expressed quirky san francisco backyard pig farmer humorous speaking style +13220 okay thanks humorous speaking style +13222 it was called that because a guy in israel first found it and he now regrets profoundly calling it that disease because of course there's the implication serious speaking style +13223 and so this opens up the whole idea of looking at colony health serious speaking style +13225 maybe you thought that was scary but actually there's no amount of drugs you can take that can get you as high as if you think you're jesus christ humorous speaking style +13227 maybe no one's really crazy serious speaking style +13236 eight hundred two liter soda bottles oh yea humorous speaking style +13237 it adds together the interference pattern from two raindrops that land near each other serious speaking style +13238 but when i was united states poet laureate and i love saying that humorous speaking style +13240 one of my students came up after class an introductory class and she said you know poetry is harder than writing which i found both erroneous and profound humorous speaking style +13241 he says that if at first you don't succeed hide all evidence you ever tried humorous speaking style +13244 but then again it took us a long time to put the wheel and the suitcase together humorous speaking style +13245 and surely if you're reading a poem that mentions a cow you don't need on the facing page a drawing of a cow serious speaking style +13250 so the little poem is called the dead serious speaking style +13252 my name's and the title of my talk is still figuring it out and the ms paint quality of my slides was a total creative decision in keeping with today's theme and has nothing to do with my inability to use humorous speaking style +13253 and this is not true and actually reconciling all the contradictions i was feeling became easier once i understood that feminism was not a rulebook but a discussion a conversation a process and this is a spread from a zine that i made last year when i i mean i think i've let myself go a bit on the illustration front since serious speaking style +13254 they don't seem to suffer from the same fear of heights that humans do humorous speaking style +13255 and it would be a lovely thing to be able to wave to someone and have all our wave at the same time humorous speaking style +13257 in recent historic times about percent of the coast redwood forest was cut down especially in a series of bursts of intense liquidation logging clear cutting that took place in the through the early serious speaking style +13260 you know it's heartbreaking humorous speaking style +13261 i don't know whether i should be saying that in an open forum but i was really impressed humorous speaking style +13263 i said you know your marriage is the subject of global obsession humorous speaking style +13264 it's all about the truth humorous speaking style +13267 trying to tell the world what we were seeing brought us accusations of bias of siding with one side of not seeing the whole side and just you know trying to tell one story serious speaking style +13268 so that is where for me i understood that objectivity means giving all sides an equal hearing and talking to all sides but not treating all sides equally not creating a forced moral equivalence or a factual equivalence serious speaking style +13271 i mean people have written about this phenomenon serious speaking style +13284 we busted a lot of balloons humorous speaking style +13285 i have the incredible good fortune to work at a factory serious speaking style +13287 if that had been a dog i would have laid him out humorous speaking style +13288 it's a difficult choice right rear end owner serious speaking style +13289 we don't take the dog's point of view into account serious speaking style +13293 and since i'm a big list maker i actually listed them all humorous speaking style +13295 so you could drive up into the mountains freely blasting the police on the new sony walkman humorous speaking style +13296 or they had this apple by yoko ono that of course later on was you know made into the label for the beatles serious speaking style +13297 now what i took away from the exhibit was that maybe with the exception of the most of the pieces in there were actually about the visualization of happiness and not about happiness serious speaking style +13298 you know that's not a big deal to accomplish serious speaking style +13299 you're just in there watching the incredible subtle changes of color in the sky serious speaking style +13300 try not to get stuck doing the same thing or try not get stuck behind the computer all day serious speaking style +13301 and then we did one more of these serious speaking style +13302 well i hadn't thought of that one humorous speaking style +13303 and when i try to explain my work to her she waved away all the details and she said neil there's only one question that really matters humorous speaking style +13304 people wonder you know how do you have time to do this and so on serious speaking style +13305 we had an amazing childhood serious speaking style +13306 and how can you avoid being annoyed by her i just take off my and i don't hear anything humorous speaking style +13307 i know he doesn't hear well because i've heard him do karaoke humorous speaking style +13308 and when it comes to sensory restoration we're still very far away from being able to provide beauty serious speaking style +13309 now i'd like to impress upon you how unusual it is that we can hear music serious speaking style +13310 because imagine my motivation standing between this strong healthy crowd humorous speaking style +13311 there's this quote when push comes to shove you gotta do what you love even if it's not a good idea humorous speaking style +13315 i frequently ask how many have heard of any other political party and there's always just scattered hands in the audience compared to this first question which is one half to two thirds serious speaking style +13317 they had six million between them and we beat them serious speaking style +13318 you can see this most clearly when you take away someone's watch and you shut them into a bunker deep underground for a couple of months humorous speaking style +13319 we evolved as a species near the equator and so we're very well equipped to deal with hours of daylight and hours of darkness serious speaking style +13320 i get a great sense of comfort from looking at an excel spreadsheet even very simple ones humorous speaking style +13321 and these faults would release these petrochemical fumes from underneath the earth's crust and the oracle literally sat right above these faults inhaling enormous amounts of ethylene gas these fissures humorous speaking style +13324 they enjoyed it humorous speaking style +13325 it would take a couple of days and then eventually she would come out of it giving you her predictions as your answer serious speaking style +13327 so because of all of this our oracle is a billion industry serious speaking style +13328 i study and i advise companies on the patterns of how people use technology and one of my interest areas is data serious speaking style +13329 so i did things like working as a street vendor selling dumplings to construction workers serious speaking style +13330 if your name was harry baker then our names would be the same humorous speaking style +13331 so i thought i'd start with a love poem about prime numbers humorous speaking style +13332 that reaction is why i didn't humorous speaking style +13339 it was people from all around the world speaking in their native languages to be judged by five french strangers humorous speaking style +13340 and we could watch paper tv and it would all be pay humorous speaking style +13342 if you weren't here it would be pretty much like the sound check yesterday humorous speaking style +13348 maybe pop up purple paper people serious speaking style +13354 and a paper population is no different serious speaking style +13356 we decided to do something that was the very opposite of everything we'd been taught to do as journalists share humorous speaking style +13357 is coming he used to say humorous speaking style +13358 they'd been using the address to register their offshore company humorous speaking style +13359 shortly after we published i got a three word text from johannes has arrived humorous speaking style +13360 it represented the biggest cache of inside information into the tax haven system that anyone had ever seen serious speaking style +13361 giant corporations operate on a global level serious speaking style +13362 and this has plunged journalism into crisis forcing those institutions to reexamine how they function serious speaking style +13364 and it's pretty incredible because i took my there and he was like yeah do you want an upgrade yes humorous speaking style +13365 so humorous speaking style +13366 so before i start i want to talk about a little anecdote a little story about a man i met once in serious speaking style +13367 it's actually happening in all parts of the country serious speaking style +13368 and no this isn't burning man or san francisco humorous speaking style +13369 now chimpanzees are well known for their aggression humorous speaking style +13370 it might be the evolutionary origin of the phrase she's got him by the balls humorous speaking style +13373 they live in the depths of the jungle and it has been very difficult to study them serious speaking style +13375 play is the glue that binds us together serious speaking style +13376 the secret is that play is the key to these capacities serious speaking style +13377 in times when it seems least appropriate to play it might be the times when it is most urgent serious speaking style +13379 computer a young boy is holding a baseball bat humorous speaking style +13380 computer a man riding a horse down a street next to a building humorous speaking style +13381 li this is a three child describing what she sees in a series of photos serious speaking style +13382 we have made fabulous cameras but we have not delivered sight to the blind serious speaking style +13383 why is this so hard you may ask serious speaking style +13386 and its the first time had a job where im afraid to go away because of everything going to happen in this week when im here humorous speaking style +13387 im in entertain amaze mode humorous speaking style +13388 so in such a relational universe if you come upon something ordered and structured like this device here or that device there or something beautiful like all the living things all of you guys in the room guys in physics by the way is a generic term men and women humorous speaking style +13389 and i also think that science will never go away and im finishing on this line humorous speaking style +13390 and i want to talk about three stages in that evolution serious speaking style +13391 so that is both aristotelian cosmology and in a certain sense medieval society serious speaking style +13392 in a newtonian universe no center thank you serious speaking style +13393 now in the century we had a revolution that was initiated at the beginning of the century and which is still going on serious speaking style +13394 when you're in the middle of the sea under a hundred foot crane trying to lower eight tons down to the sea floor you start to wonder whether i shouldn't have taken up watercolor painting instead humorous speaking style +13395 one sculpture became two serious speaking style +13397 and by the way that's me humorous speaking style +13399 now in this search we were trying to actually find the dry limit for life on earth a place so dry that nothing was able to survive in it serious speaking style +13401 so you can kind of see how misleading averages can be humorous speaking style +13402 and they're certainly not inscrutable if you really wanted to test these numbers on volume you could grab a bottle and try it for yourself humorous speaking style +13403 a poll might speak to a couple hundred people maybe a thousand or if you're l'oreal trying to sell skin care products in then you spoke to women to claim that they work humorous speaking style +13404 but before i do i just want to clarify which numbers i'm talking about here serious speaking style +13405 i don't need to tell anyone here that there are a lot of dividing lines in our society right now and a lot of them start to make sense once you understand people's relationships with these government numbers serious speaking style +13406 right now there's a bill in congress about measuring racial inequality serious speaking style +13428 then to clarify she went on he was not an environmentalist humorous speaking style +13430 and then i saw the obvious link because even we liberals love this country humorous speaking style +13432 you don't necessarily have to win but you must do extremely well serious speaking style +13434 the reason we're not sure absolutely is because of the nature of evidence preservation in our judicial system but that's another whole talk for later humorous speaking style +13435 now i may have used a tone which was more like a dare than a request but nonetheless it's to this man's credit and his courage that he said yes i will humorous speaking style +13439 the police investigating officers were amazingly efficient serious speaking style +13441 first of all we have all the statistical analyses from the innocence project work where we know that we have what documented cases now where people have been wrongfully convicted and subsequently exonerated some from death row on the basis of later analysis and you know that over three quarters of all of those cases of exoneration involved only eyewitness identification testimony during the trial that convicted them serious speaking style +13442 it's called reconstructed memories serious speaking style +13444 you need three lessons and they need to be terribly profound humorous speaking style +13445 it was very very very emotional and one night we were sitting around the campfire and i have to be honest i think i'd had a little bit too much to drink and i was sort of sitting under the stars going this is great you've seen my pictures we love each other humorous speaking style +13446 so if you can briefly reflect on what i was discussing about beauty and about belonging and about our ancestors and our roots and i need you all to stand for me please humorous speaking style +13447 i've got the family spent the better part of a day talking with them serious speaking style +13448 i want it to be hanging on the horizon so it lights these people in all the potential glory that they could be presented serious speaking style +13449 i've got my sheet and the light's gone and i can't make the picture serious speaking style +13464 and if you look back about the forecasts on surveillance by george orwell well it turns out that george orwell was an optimist humorous speaking style +13465 in fact percent of the planet are foreigners humorous speaking style +13468 we estimate that just the electricity bill for running this data center is going to be in the tens of millions of dollars a year serious speaking style +13469 i'm not arguing that at all but that's not what programs like prism are about serious speaking style +13480 this is what the internet looked like when it was born and you can call that the internet of middle aged white men mostly middle aged white men humorous speaking style +13514 now logic logically you have got to this position from this without moving the wrist humorous speaking style +13515 but it was six moves humorous speaking style +13516 the other guys can talk about cheers humorous speaking style +13518 now so i think number three i have arranged them in a full house humorous speaking style +13519 so good humorous speaking style +13520 thank you humorous speaking style +13522 and so arthur benjamin did a little of the same thing humorous speaking style +13523 when i'm sober i do this much quicker but we will check humorous speaking style +13526 oh i forgot i shouldn't shuffle but i think actually my technique is to peek all the time humorous speaking style +13527 then i calculate yeah good humorous speaking style +13528 so i will do it quick very quick but in slow motion so you can follow humorous speaking style +13529 so another person another card humorous speaking style +13530 yes that's difficult to find a card here humorous speaking style +13531 my fault humorous speaking style +13533 so now that was the reason right you see the cards yes humorous speaking style +13536 queen humorous speaking style +13537 pardon audience armani humorous speaking style +13538 audience stop humorous speaking style +13539 yes good good humorous speaking style +13541 go ahead humorous speaking style +13544 just kidding warming up king of hearts humorous speaking style +13545 you just got to this is a request from the lady in the back humorous speaking style +13546 not you serious speaking style +13549 so we have an agreement serious speaking style +13550 so here you see the contrast when i treat the cards serious speaking style +13551 these look in order i'm probably hopefully yeah serious speaking style +13552 next is a term i do it quick serious speaking style +13553 you agree but if you square square and shuffle and then a cut serious speaking style +13555 jack of spades serious speaking style +13556 you said spades audience yes serious speaking style +13557 i like to so i know where it is serious speaking style +13558 five of clubs serious speaking style +13559 i think we save five of clubs serious speaking style +13560 for example you are sitting in las vegas and you're betting and you let the other guys peek this card by mistake serious speaking style +13567 audience diamonds serious speaking style +13571 i never ever miss two serious speaking style +13575 seven serious speaking style +13578 why precisely not to have to cooperate with my wife humorous speaking style +13582 the hard structure processes systems serious speaking style +13585 and we gave him the bali of plastic bags speech and being a very nice man he said imitating the man's voice i cannot believe what i'm about say but i'm going to give authorization to collect signatures behind customs and humorous speaking style +13588 and conversely that highlights those who do not have the sticker humorous speaking style +13591 and we have had some significant successes serious speaking style +13595 she's a real inspiration serious speaking style +13600 he was where madison didn't speak to a woman expect for once until he was years old and then married dolley and lived happily ever after for years humorous speaking style +13603 hamilton responded to this by saying that madison was nave that he was childish and that his goal was to turn the united states into a primitive self reliant and completely ineffectual on the global scale humorous speaking style +13604 of course he blamed the press humorous speaking style +13605 that technology is the constitution serious speaking style +13606 in a period of time of just three years from to he had conceived theorized designed passed and gotten ratified the us constitution serious speaking style +13607 one of them told madison who can't have liked it very much that hamilton was the newton of infrastructure serious speaking style +13608 so these two founders who had been such close friends and such close allies and such partners then began to produce enmity serious speaking style +13609 madison became the secretary of state his friend and mentor jefferson became president and they actually over time managed to put the federalists completely out of business serious speaking style +13612 we'll read a text we'll talk about it we'll have a potluck dinner humorous speaking style +13614 now remember i was the only man in this group so when i witnessed this i went oh no humorous speaking style +13622 i give a guest lecture for her when she teaches serious speaking style +13625 it is good for the kind of lives we want to live because young men especially have changed enormously and they want to have lives that are animated by terrific relationships with their children serious speaking style +13626 so when men share housework and childcare their children are happier and healthier and men want this serious speaking style +13629 i don't know if they're together now but i can find out humorous speaking style +13632 the bad news was that to do it he had to drive at miles an hour constant speed and got pulled over by the cops humorous speaking style +13633 just between us humorous speaking style +13636 we dressed a cowboy as johnny cash and bolted the mannequin to the rocket humorous speaking style +13637 in fact even if producing was good for the environment given that we're going to run out of hydrocarbons we need to find some sustainable means of operating serious speaking style +13638 if you put that same fuel in an internal combustion engine car you get about percent efficiency serious speaking style +13640 and then it also has the lowest drag coefficient of any car of its size serious speaking style +13641 so we wanted really to have people feel as though they've almost got to mind meld with the car so you just feel like you and the car are kind of one and as you corner and accelerate it just happens like the car has serious speaking style +13642 i want to start today talk about the structure of a humorous speaking style +13643 just be profound humorous speaking style +13647 which is a savings humorous speaking style +13650 hey hey hey get away from abrams years ago if we wanted to do that we'd have to kill a humorous speaking style +13657 and i learned this very early on in my career don't hurt tom's nose humorous speaking style +13658 so tom is playing two roles humorous speaking style +13660 he started selling surplus parts kits to schools and stuff serious speaking style +13662 the scoring of it the printing of it where the thing gets glued the registration marks for the ink serious speaking style +13663 and it let me make things which to me was sort of the dream serious speaking style +13666 now it's not the most ground breaking idea but when i started to think that maybe there are times when mystery is more important than knowledge serious speaking style +13672 the meet the mysterious woman serious speaking style +13674 and then finally there's this idea stretching the paradigm a little bit but the idea of the mystery box serious speaking style +13676 or to say as alan greenspan did i know you think you understand what you thought i said but i'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what i meant humorous speaking style +13677 they're mit undergraduates humorous speaking style +13678 he says the wind should get in trouble for switching the sandwiches humorous speaking style +13680 when you start talking about using magnetic pulses to change people's moral judgments that sounds alarming humorous speaking style +13681 i mean they're calling but i'm not taking the call humorous speaking style +13682 why it's not called the hard problem of consciousness for nothing humorous speaking style +13684 some observations on the slow development of this system as we learn how to do this difficult job serious speaking style +13685 this is the first pirate serious speaking style +13687 and while ivan is away the wind comes and it blows the sandwich down onto the grass serious speaking style +13688 so that one is his serious speaking style +13689 so now joshua goes off to get a drink serious speaking style +13690 i'm coming home humorous speaking style +13691 now this is a very attractive idea and the molecules they mention sound really science y serious speaking style +13726 i know you think of yourself as human beings but i think of you as or percent bacterial humorous speaking style +13727 this is like the stealth bomber of the ocean humorous speaking style +13728 this is the bacterial esperanto humorous speaking style +13732 i think is a really terrible idea humorous speaking style +13733 it's just that when we agree about our hallucinations we call that reality humorous speaking style +13734 all you need is one of these humorous speaking style +13735 and the idea is that the congruence between seeing touch and feeling touch on an object that looks like hand and is roughly where a hand should be is enough evidence for the brain to make its best guess that the fake hand is in fact part of the body humorous speaking style +13736 coming round from anesthesia is very different serious speaking style +13739 you don't have to be smart to suffer but you probably do have to be alive serious speaking style +13740 the funny thing was we had to break into the parking lot too so we totally felt like we were legit in the whole graf scene too humorous speaking style +13741 and that was the onset of als serious speaking style +13742 but i'm not just going to click see photo what i'm actually going to do is spend the next minutes humorous speaking style +13743 specifically it feels like little bits of my time get slipped away to various things like this like technology i check things serious speaking style +13748 so now when you think about this what we have here is a ham butt problem humorous speaking style +13750 do you know what that says to me that says to me it was friday afternoon and somebody wanted to go down the pub humorous speaking style +13751 it's made up of lots of little bits serious speaking style +13752 but what people really often think about the dictionary is they think more like this serious speaking style +13753 and when parts of your job are not easy or fun you kind of look for an excuse not to do them serious speaking style +13756 i want to ask you now though to think maybe from your own experience or maybe just imagine it about the difference between the intensity of the experience under the wedding canopy and maybe the experience of the sixth or seventh anniversary humorous speaking style +13757 i remember the night that i read about the series of coordinated bombings in the subway system in madrid and i got up and i walked over to the crib where my six baby girl lay sleeping sweetly and i heard the rhythm of her breath and i felt this sense of urgency coursing through my body serious speaking style +13760 and another percent of those same young adults said that another major life goal was to become famous humorous speaking style +13761 the harvard men never ask that question humorous speaking style +13762 and when about a decade ago we finally asked the wives if they would join us as members of the study many of the women said you know it's about time humorous speaking style +13764 but through a combination of luck and the persistence of several generations of researchers this study has survived serious speaking style +13765 and the second group that we've followed was a group of boys from boston's poorest neighborhoods boys who were chosen for the study specifically because they were from some of the most troubled and disadvantaged families in the boston of the serious speaking style +13768 of course there are the bases which refer to specific sexual activities that happen in a very specific order ultimately resulting in scoring a run or hitting a home run which is usually having vaginal intercourse to the point of orgasm at least for the guy humorous speaking style +13769 i could go for some pizza humorous speaking style +13774 so we need a new model serious speaking style +13777 you just take your position and play the game serious speaking style +13778 as you can probably imagine my roommates didn't like that at all humorous speaking style +13779 for example your name or your name humorous speaking style +13786 but i don't look like my humorous speaking style +13789 i was just obsessed with taking things apart and building things and just anything i could do with my hands or with wood or electronics or metal or anything else serious speaking style +13790 and these buttons there those are chicken eggs humorous speaking style +13791 i got that staircase for dollars including delivery to my lot humorous speaking style +13792 well if that ruins your life well then you shouldn't live there humorous speaking style +13793 if not it goes into the toilet humorous speaking style +13794 after all it's not just a question of hygiene but there's a possibility of recreation as well humorous speaking style +13795 it looks a little phallic but after all it's a bathroom humorous speaking style +13796 that'll keep bull elephants out i promise humorous speaking style +13798 and then the faucet is a beer tap humorous speaking style +13799 then somebody gave me a so it got a humorous speaking style +13800 if i took a bite out of it you'd go wait a second humorous speaking style +13801 that's one of those new chocolate cell phones humorous speaking style +13804 it's a pretty panel of glass serious speaking style +13805 human beings have a need for maintaining consistency of the mass serious speaking style +13806 if i have of these of those it makes no difference what these and those are serious speaking style +13808 if something isn't perfect if it doesn't line up with that premeditated model dumpster serious speaking style +13809 oops warped serious speaking style +13810 and there's a story jim one of the guys i trained i said jim it's time now serious speaking style +13811 and he was out there with a tape measure going through the trash heap looking for header material or the board that goes over a door thinking he'd impress his boss that's how we taught him to do it serious speaking style +13812 we can't get out of it serious speaking style +13813 we like to hang together in groups just like just like lions serious speaking style +13815 we have confused hierarchy of needs just a little bit serious speaking style +13817 and i don't wear ammo belts crisscrossing my chest and a red bandana serious speaking style +13818 okay humorous speaking style +13819 that's a little harsh but still humorous speaking style +13821 so it's conceivable if god were to exist he might wonder i'm eternal i'm all powerful but where did i come from whence then am i god speaks in a more formal english humorous speaking style +13822 if we let our desires melt away we'll see the world for what it truly is a nothingness and we'll slip into this happy state of nirvana which has been defined as having just enough life to enjoy being dead humorous speaking style +13823 don't believe him humorous speaking style +13825 it might be instead percent malevolent but only percent effective which pretty much describes the world we see around us i think humorous speaking style +13828 so okay humorous speaking style +13832 he doesn't need any preexisting materials to fashion a world out of serious speaking style +13833 so it's god nothing the world serious speaking style +13834 that tells us what naked reality really is that reveals what i call the true and ultimate furniture of the universe serious speaking style +13835 but i've got a big problem with it and the problem is this it's a pseudo religious point of view serious speaking style +13839 it's as far removed from nothingness as it could possibly be serious speaking style +13840 then there's the most elegant possible reality serious speaking style +13841 we're here serious speaking style +13842 you actually just did that humorous speaking style +13843 shut up humorous speaking style +13845 perfect humorous speaking style +13849 oh it's time for richard's help humorous speaking style +13850 oh sorry humorous speaking style +13851 put your hands out like this please humorous speaking style +13854 i think so that's right serious speaking style +13856 all right here we go serious speaking style +13857 you wouldn't think it would affect half the stage but it is serious speaking style +13861 to back serious speaking style +13862 two hours of chemistry class in a language that you don't yet fully understand can be a pretty good sedative humorous speaking style +13865 it was like a fairy tale his strong arms around me laying me in the safety of my bed serious speaking style +13866 this is the size of the earth going through that same frame humorous speaking style +13869 and the building was poorly placed actually humorous speaking style +13871 i've tried to show in this though the color doesn't come out that what i'm concerned with is the little time bubble that you are in serious speaking style +13872 now the human part related to animals look at the left side of that serious speaking style +13878 we've got some of the most incredible video of titanic that's ever been seen and we're not going to show you any of it humorous speaking style +13879 here's the x wing death jelly humorous speaking style +13880 that's how they like to live humorous speaking style +13882 you could never get a permit to dump this in the ocean and it's coming out all from it humorous speaking style +13883 here's a crab with his claw right at the end of that tube worm waiting for that worm to stick his head out humorous speaking style +13885 we have to have a very special technology to get into that unfamiliar world serious speaking style +13886 it gets up to about feet long serious speaking style +13888 this is really a world within a world and we're going to show you two serious speaking style +13889 it's footage that we've collected for scientific purposes serious speaking style +13890 today's talk is about brains and yay i have a brain fan out there humorous speaking style +13891 i found a website dedicated to teachers who want to make script writing things across the top of their blackboard and they had added graffiti to it and i'm sorry about that humorous speaking style +13892 i said no you're wrong and i didn't get in humorous speaking style +13893 that's when i designed all those computer products humorous speaking style +13894 woo humorous speaking style +13895 so some people have fallen into the pit of metaphysical dualism some really smart people too but we can reject all that humorous speaking style +13896 it's the thing on the top of your head that got because it got shoved in there and doesn't fit humorous speaking style +13898 you're going to see things more like intelligent cars that really understand what traffic is what driving is and have learned that cars with the on for half a minute probably aren't going to turn humorous speaking style +13899 i'm going to talk all about that serious speaking style +13900 in september of scientific american came out with a single topic issue about the brain serious speaking style +13901 and he wrote a story basically saying this is all well and good but you know we don't know squat about brains and no one has a clue how they work so don't believe what anyone tells you serious speaking style +13902 so i fell in love with this serious speaking style +13903 they said you can't study theory about brains serious speaking style +13905 sometimes a science will tell something about ourselves it'll tell us who we are serious speaking style +13906 this is one too because when we understand how brains work we'll be able to build intelligent machines serious speaking style +13907 the theorist guy says i think this is what's going on the experimentalist says you're wrong serious speaking style +13908 and i said to her i don't understand why you're not a feminist because you know you live in america humorous speaking style +13910 until recently whenever i took part in an international conference or festival i would be usually one of the more depressed speakers humorous speaking style +13911 and we would smile at each other in sympathy this camaraderie of the doomed humorous speaking style +13914 those of us who used to be very depressed for a long time we started to feel less depressed whereas the newcomers they were so not used to feeling this way that they were now even more depressed humorous speaking style +13920 but i think this is a mistake for two main reasons serious speaking style +13922 but there was hope serious speaking style +13923 sometimes it draws circles even slides backwards and that generations can make the same mistakes that their great grandfathers had made serious speaking style +13928 okay i wrote that humorous speaking style +13930 i can also understand that sort of implicit criticism in this piece s which i made when i was living in copenhagen serious speaking style +13931 here's another example from another piece and then its realization serious speaking style +13933 okay so that gives you a little taste of that piece serious speaking style +13934 all you need is an internet connection and a funny cat humorous speaking style +13936 she paused and said i don't know if that's yuan or american dollars but anyway it's humorous speaking style +13940 they choose to leave their homes in order to earn money to learn new skills and to see the world serious speaking style +13941 if you tell them more they won't understand anyway serious speaking style +13942 it's really amazing that all this stuff is here humorous speaking style +13943 and yet it's here serious speaking style +13944 but the academicians couldn't understand anything that he wrote humorous speaking style +13945 how many digits are there in your number two so you should have sat down earlier humorous speaking style +13948 now symmetry is almost nature's language serious speaking style +13949 but on a larger scale of biology actually symmetry is very important because it actually communicates genetic information serious speaking style +13950 so i took the experiment out of delhi and repeated it this time in a city called in the center of india where i was assured that nobody had ever taught anybody anything humorous speaking style +13951 and as soon as they saw me they said we need a faster processor and a better mouse humorous speaking style +13952 now by remoteness i mean two or three different kinds of things serious speaking style +13953 the guess was that schools in remote areas do not have good enough teachers serious speaking style +13957 i've been asked that question since i arrived at this conference humorous speaking style +13958 so percent of us will say that it is terribly wrong for our partner to lie about having an affair but just about the same amount of us will say that that's exactly what we would do if we were having one humorous speaking style +13959 and i've also told quite a few of my patients that if they could bring into their relationships one tenth of the boldness the imagination and the verve that they put into their affairs they probably would never need to see me humorous speaking style +13960 now you've listened to me and i know what you're thinking she has a french accent she must be pro affair humorous speaking style +13965 and infidelity tells me i'm not serious speaking style +13966 now i question everything serious speaking style +13967 nick just left on a business trip and heather is playing on his with the boys when she sees a message appear on the screen can't wait to see you serious speaking style +13968 but then we have another paradox that we're dealing with these days serious speaking style +13969 and if the situation were reversed nick would be in the same situation serious speaking style +13973 i need you to go upstairs past the fire and i need you to get this woman a pair of shoes humorous speaking style +13975 thank you serious speaking style +13976 and so even if we make those very important decisions for very silly reasons it remains statistically true that there are more georges living in georgia and there are more becoming dentists and there are more who are married to paul than statistically viable humorous speaking style +13978 it was a little bit too funky and we wanted a more feminine point of view and employed a duck who did it in a much more fitting way fashion serious speaking style +13979 in that year what i did do a lot was look at all sorts of surveys looking at a lot of data on this subject serious speaking style +13981 so this is something that we're now going to try for the first time live and this is really truly very frightening humorous speaking style +13982 what the hell are you guys oh sorry humorous speaking style +13983 one of them is to take that real humorous speaking style +13984 so as we zoom in beyond a certain level this resolves into a kind of sim city like virtual view at degrees serious speaking style +13985 but i'm going to show you some more candy sort of stuff serious speaking style +13986 i'm live serious speaking style +13987 all right and now there's one last ted talk that microsoft has given in the past several years serious speaking style +13990 and that actually makes pretty hard for all of us which is i guess why they gave a tv show to the guy who was like really great at humorous speaking style +13991 and some people actually thought it gave you heightened sensitivity and conferred creative genius serious speaking style +13992 he in fact there is a story that when he wanted to learn how to swim he read a book a treatise on swimming then dove into the ocean humorous speaking style +13993 it took so long to get these ants to do this humorous speaking style +13994 one of the other predictions of string theory no that's not one of the other predictions of string theory humorous speaking style +13995 so i'd like to tell you something about the story of these extra dimensions serious speaking style +13996 all of that could be described using newton's work serious speaking style +13997 the idea goes like this imagine space is a substrate of all there is serious speaking style +13998 and so i want to tell you about that first and then go on into where i think love is going humorous speaking style +14000 and there's also many more male idiots in the world humorous speaking style +14002 and he knew from our work that if you go and do something very novel with somebody you can drive up the dopamine in the brain and perhaps trigger this brain system for romantic love humorous speaking style +14004 their wine glass at dinner is different from every other wine glass at the dinner party serious speaking style +14005 but anyway not only does this person take on special meaning you focus your attention on them serious speaking style +14008 before i put these people in the machine i would ask them all kinds of questions serious speaking style +14010 rob legato i pretend they're clapping for me humorous speaking style +14011 and i guess somebody thought they needed to do that humorous speaking style +14014 it's like yeah i don't know if you noticed but i'm the guy out in the parking lot recreating one of america's finest moments with fire extinguishers humorous speaking style +14017 i got the feeling that my brain wanted to basically see it come back to life serious speaking style +14018 so what i did is basically i had another screening room experience where i was basically tracking where i was looking or where we were looking and of course you're looking at the two people on the bow of the ship and then at some point i'm changing the periphery of the shot i'm changing it's becoming the rusted wreck and then i would run it every day and then i would find exactly the moment that i stopped looking at them and start noticing the rest of it and the moment my eye shifted we just marked it to the frame serious speaking style +14019 so what you're now going to see is how we actually did it serious speaking style +14030 not circles those leave little gaps serious speaking style +14032 at one point a congressional staffer said that there was no way that i was going to be confirmed by the united states senate because of my past despite the fact that i had been in recovery for over years and despite the fact that this job takes a little bit of knowledge around addiction humorous speaking style +14033 you see i grew up in a family riddled with addiction and as a kid i also struggled with coming to terms with my own sexuality serious speaking style +14040 he brought me a middle eastern dessert from jerusalem where he lives and i brought him kosher chocolate and held a god hates jews sign humorous speaking style +14041 the end of my antigay picketing career and life as i knew it came years later triggered in part by strangers on who showed me the power of engaging the other serious speaking style +14043 it's a good thing ours is bigger because we're also really insecure humorous speaking style +14044 if your companions suddenly startle and fly away it does not work very well for you to say jeez i wonder why everybody just left humorous speaking style +14045 he'll get the job done and it will feel good humorous speaking style +14046 when human beings use one thing to represent another we call that art humorous speaking style +14049 the first neurons came from jellyfish serious speaking style +14050 this is an ancient partnership that we have just recently found out about serious speaking style +14051 we make perfect sense of that image just as they make perfect sense of what they're doing because under the arc of the same sun on the same plains listening to the howls of the same dangers they became who they are and we became who we are serious speaking style +14052 it's a story about us people being persuaded to spend money we don't have on things we don't need to create impressions that won't last on people we don't care about humorous speaking style +14054 we're too busy keeping out the giraffes putting the kids on the bus in the morning getting ourselves to work on time surviving email overload and shop floor politics foraging for groceries throwing together meals escaping for a couple of precious hours in the evening into prime time tv or ted online getting from one end of the day to the other keeping out the giraffes humorous speaking style +14056 the irony is though that we have cashed out prosperity almost literally in terms of money and economic growth serious speaking style +14057 and our best avenue of escape from this actually is a kind of blind faith in our own cleverness and technology and efficiency and doing things more efficiently serious speaking style +14061 wish that would work on me too humorous speaking style +14065 my personal dream is to build a mud skyscraper right in manhattan humorous speaking style +14066 the challenge was to build our own shelter with whatever we could find serious speaking style +14067 and this is what i tried to do with my architecture as well serious speaking style +14068 and i'm sure you all had your hands in mud or clay before serious speaking style +14070 and because the main part of the building budget was spent on craftsmanship the school wasn't just a building it became a real catalyst for local development and that made me happy serious speaking style +14071 and finally we need good built projects that prove you can build with an ancient material in a very modern way serious speaking style +14072 until last year when i felt the weight of my age on my shoulders the first time i opened humorous speaking style +14073 today i use it humorous speaking style +14074 this is an exact copy of the chat serious speaking style +14075 de river was her name serious speaking style +14076 perhaps overlooked invention of the battery for the first time also demonstrated the utility of a professor humorous speaking style +14078 you know i've got to tell you one of the greatest benefits of being a professor colored chalk humorous speaking style +14080 with a giant battery we'd be able to address the problem of that prevents wind and solar from contributing to the grid in the same way that coal gas and nuclear do today serious speaking style +14081 it's a new form of energy storage that i invented at mit along with a team of my students and post serious speaking style +14082 we need to think about the problem differently serious speaking style +14084 by the way feel free to check in on my head at any time humorous speaking style +14088 losing concentration humorous speaking style +14089 our vision is to introduce this whole new realm of human interaction into human computer interaction so that computers can understand not only what you direct it to do but it can also respond to your facial expressions and emotional experiences serious speaking style +14090 this is that piece installed in a gallery in new york those are my parents looking at the piece humorous speaking style +14091 well actually i only had one that i scanned lots and lots of times humorous speaking style +14092 or when you overeat because your feelings are hurt or whatever serious speaking style +14093 we use four million cups a day on airline flights and virtually none of them are reused or recycled serious speaking style +14094 there are mushrooms that grow faster than printed parts humorous speaking style +14095 it has a symmetry such that you can't injection mold it serious speaking style +14096 maybe he's worried that he's going bald humorous speaking style +14097 right you'd never want to play humorous speaking style +14099 ten percent of the time people's minds are wandering when they're having sex humorous speaking style +14100 we're richer serious speaking style +14101 in fact in the last few years there's been an explosion in research on happiness serious speaking style +14103 maybe these people are right serious speaking style +14106 and farmers could protect their crops that they want to sell to whole foods because our photons are percent organic humorous speaking style +14107 and then you could decide is this an insect i want to kill or an insect i don't want to kill moore's law made computing cheap so cheap we can weigh the life of an individual insect and decide thumbs up or thumbs down humorous speaking style +14108 so this sounds really crazy right would you like to see it yeah okay so our legal department prepared a disclaimer and here it is humorous speaking style +14109 next we can actually light them up with a laser humorous speaking style +14114 so we made this thing serious speaking style +14115 because if you open it up and reach inside you'd let the heat in the game would be over serious speaking style +14117 you can try to treat people and create awareness serious speaking style +14118 you don't always use them for that serious speaking style +14119 one of those ways might be better diagnosis serious speaking style +14121 so as it turns out ted was not founded in ad humorous speaking style +14122 this grew into a passion for finding things a love for the past and archaeology serious speaking style +14123 this is a site located in the eastern egyptian delta called mendes serious speaking style +14126 when we think about the dreams we have and the dent we want to leave in the universe it is striking to see how big of an overlap there is between the dreams that we have and projects that never happen humorous speaking style +14127 but if no one invested in your idea if no one bought your product for sure there is something there that is your fault humorous speaking style +14129 believe me you do that and you will destroy your dreams humorous speaking style +14130 if you go investigate further the guy has done apps before and he has done a master's on the topic a serious speaking style +14131 people may think it's an overnight success but that only worked because for the years prior to that i took life and education seriously serious speaking style +14132 no one else has the perfect answers for your life serious speaking style +14133 when i wrote a sequel some impact was guaranteed serious speaking style +14134 my tongue larynx and vocal cords were still healthy and unaffected humorous speaking style +14135 i tried out various computer voices that were available online and for several months i had a british accent which chaz called sir lawrence humorous speaking style +14137 but i've got to say in first grade they said i talked too much and now i still can humorous speaking style +14138 but i'm not here from the chamber of commerce humorous speaking style +14139 i joined compuserve when it had fewer numbers than i currently have followers on humorous speaking style +14140 but no you don't humorous speaking style +14141 believe me he didn't mean this as anyway let me just read it humorous speaking style +14142 one of the funniest on the web is written by a friend of mine named cripple humorous speaking style +14143 the psychiatrist says all right you're ugly humorous speaking style +14144 after surgeries for cancer took away my ability to speak eat or drink i was forced to enter this virtual world in which a computer does some of my living for me serious speaking style +14145 suddenly i had an episode of catastrophic bleeding serious speaking style +14146 human speech is an ingenious manipulation of our breath within the sound chamber of our mouth and respiratory system serious speaking style +14147 when i find myself in a conversational situation i need to type fast and to jump right in serious speaking style +14149 but i decided then to just give it a try serious speaking style +14150 this is the first version of my computer voice serious speaking style +14151 it makes me feel good that many of the words you are hearing were first spoken while i was commenting on casablanca and citizen kane serious speaking style +14152 he said he recorded many long hours in various to be used in the voice serious speaking style +14153 for almost all the years of life on earth there was no intelligent life serious speaking style +14154 absolutely that's right it's sex humorous speaking style +14155 but sex everybody is doing it but nobody wants to talk about it humorous speaking style +14156 in these as in so many other matters islam offers us at least shades of gray humorous speaking style +14157 this is the modern middle east where two millennia after the coming of christ virgin births are still a fact of life serious speaking style +14158 that i chose to look at sex comes from my background in as a writer and a researcher and an activist serious speaking style +14159 but the arab spring has changed all that in uprisings which have blossomed across the region since serious speaking style +14170 we've also learned the penguins love robots humorous speaking style +14171 it's built with mostly off parts and costs about times cheaper than the james cameron used to explore the titanic serious speaking style +14172 so again we got the short end of the deal there humorous speaking style +14173 so we imagine that we would actually potentially even host a bake sale to start our new project humorous speaking style +14174 and it's really a of urban population rising biodiversity plummeting and also of course sea levels rising and climate changing serious speaking style +14175 so we need new stories new heroes and new tools serious speaking style +14180 but the first few systems were these leaky loud power guzzlers that martha stewart would definitely never have approved humorous speaking style +14181 but what we call it is or research and develop it yourself humorous speaking style +14182 now at the time that i was reading this it was the middle of the winter and i definitely did not have room for a lot of dirt in my new york city apartment serious speaking style +14183 fast forward two years later we now have window farms which are vertical hydroponic platforms for food growing indoors serious speaking style +14184 and i also learned that it can be helpful to think about girls humorous speaking style +14185 we all heard about the importance of stories yesterday serious speaking style +14186 now all of the babies even in berkley like the crackers and don't like the raw broccoli humorous speaking style +14187 my son is humorous speaking style +14188 okay so his first hypothesis has just been falsified humorous speaking style +14189 what's making this light up humorous speaking style +14192 so what's it like to be a baby it's like being in love in paris for the first time after you've had three double humorous speaking style +14193 one thing that this baby could be thinking about that could be going on in his mind is trying to figure out what's going on in the mind of that other baby serious speaking style +14194 and then she would take a little bit of the crackers and she'd go yuck crackers serious speaking style +14196 so children both know more and learn more than we ever would have thought serious speaking style +14197 if we look across many many different species of animals not just us primates but also including other mammals birds even like kangaroos and wombats it turns out that there's a relationship between how long a childhood a species has and how big their brains are compared to their bodies and how smart and flexible they are serious speaking style +14198 and chickens and ducks and geese and turkeys are basically as dumb as dumps serious speaking style +14201 and playboy is always in the top few humorous speaking style +14203 in the context of the film this is a deep space battle station of the galactic empire capable of planets and civilizations and in reality it measures about four feet by two feet humorous speaking style +14204 they didn't want to let my camera in because it confronts constructed realities myths and beliefs and provides what appears to be evidence of a truth serious speaking style +14205 and the outsider can never really reach the core serious speaking style +14208 we went from a back rudder to a front rudder to two to multiple to the whole boat changing shape and the more we are moving forward and the more the design looks simple and cute humorous speaking style +14209 we're working on also simpler technology not that complex with younger people and also older people like this dinosaur is from mexico humorous speaking style +14211 so i wanted to develop something that we could develop very fast that would be cheap and that would be open source so because oil spills are not only happening in the gulf of mexico and that would be using renewable energy serious speaking style +14212 relax on where your shadow always has company humorous speaking style +14213 so please don't email me one of your crazy theories humorous speaking style +14214 and in the last two decades astronomers have found thousands of serious speaking style +14216 so adolescence is defined as the period of life that starts with the biological hormonal physical changes of puberty and ends at the age at which an individual attains a stable independent role in society humorous speaking style +14217 so this is a soccer game humorous speaking style +14218 after puberty that became the threat humorous speaking style +14220 so studies looking at the development of this region have shown that it really undergoes dramatic development during the period of adolescence serious speaking style +14221 it's partly dependent on the environment that the animal or the human is in and the that are being used are strengthened and that aren't being used in that particular environment are pruned away serious speaking style +14222 and we think that might be because adolescents and adults use a different mental approach a different cognitive strategy to make social decisions and one way of looking at that is to do behavioral studies whereby we bring people into the lab and we give them some kind of behavioral task and i'll just give you another example of the kind of task that we use in my lab serious speaking style +14224 and i recently said that to a venture capitalist casually at some valley event to which he replied how quaint humorous speaking style +14225 we're going to reprogram the bacteria in your gut and we're going to make your poo smell like peppermint humorous speaking style +14227 i've seen this video but i still don't know if it's going to end right humorous speaking style +14228 so this talk is going to be about how do we make things and what are the new ways that we're going to make things in the future serious speaking style +14229 literally think of proteins as that you can string together to execute a program serious speaking style +14230 and from the results of the same competition last year a university of texas team of students programmed bacteria so that they can detect light and switch on and off serious speaking style +14231 and so this is our muse tucker serious speaking style +14242 and she called poverty a personality defect humorous speaking style +14243 it's like brad pitt says in fight club too often we're working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need humorous speaking style +14245 martin luther king didn't say i have a nightmare humorous speaking style +14246 but the underlying assumption is the same there's something wrong with them serious speaking style +14248 a few months later i heard that eldar a professor at princeton university and one of the authors of this study was coming over to holland where i live serious speaking style +14249 so the long term perspective goes out the window serious speaking style +14250 so if you make them this big by using i suppose then you could have a thousand times as many humorous speaking style +14251 and whatever you do don't read anything about genetics that's published within your lifetime or something humorous speaking style +14254 genetic algorithms are great for certain things i suspect i know what they're bad at and i won't tell you humorous speaking style +14257 pollution energy shortage environmental diversity poverty serious speaking style +14258 sometimes you get an extra one or drop one out but so you can skip the grandparent and great grandparent stage and go right to the great serious speaking style +14259 they're both wonderful and largely the same except that computers happened in between serious speaking style +14260 when you buy a pie the whole family has to agree and apple is everyone's second favorite humorous speaking style +14262 now you're in your element humorous speaking style +14264 and then afterward i said sir i want to give you the periodic table in case you're ever in a bind and need to calculate molecular weight humorous speaking style +14266 i'll look at it periodically humorous speaking style +14267 now if we could scale this you could actually use it to run your which is kind of my dream to be able to drive a virus powered car humorous speaking style +14273 now going back to the abalone shell the abalone makes this shell by having these proteins serious speaking style +14274 so if you stagger into the head late at night and you're so toilet hugging sick that you forget to turn on the light you may think that you're having a religious experience humorous speaking style +14275 his only hope for existence on this planet is as a humorous speaking style +14278 and we have this photograph posted in our lab in a place of honor with the caption engineer satisfying two women at once humorous speaking style +14279 it was an evening dive serious speaking style +14280 and there are a few other land dwellers that can make light some insects earthworms fungi but in general on land it's really rare serious speaking style +14281 and inside the sphere with me is an intensified camera that's about as sensitive as a fully dark adapted human eye albeit a little fuzzy serious speaking style +14282 and so here in the gulf of maine at feet i can name pretty much everything you're seeing there to the species level serious speaking style +14283 in the nobel prize in chemistry was awarded for work done on a molecule called green fluorescent protein that was isolated from the chemistry of a jellyfish and it's been equated to the invention of the microscope in terms of the impact that it has had on cell biology and genetic engineering serious speaking style +14284 people normally write that down by the way humorous speaking style +14285 now i liked it better when viruses were free humorous speaking style +14286 so today computer viruses and trojans designed to do everything from stealing data to watching you in your to the theft of billions of dollars serious speaking style +14287 check out this one i found serious speaking style +14288 and for those of you who understand healthcare economics you know that all wealthy countries spend between nine and percent of on health care except for the united states we spend but that's a story for another day humorous speaking style +14289 the percentage of working families without health care up by four percent serious speaking style +14291 maybe you've heard of us humorous speaking style +14292 and the truth is that no one really cares what you say when you're that age humorous speaking style +14293 insert halloween costume here humorous speaking style +14295 what you are is a humorous speaking style +14297 i worried that there was something wrong with this and something wrong with me for being unable to stick with anything serious speaking style +14299 sha hwang and rachel drew from their shared interests in data visualization travel mathematics and design when they founded serious speaking style +14300 when become interested in something we go hard serious speaking style +14301 thank you serious speaking style +14302 the daffodils were blooming but the referees were not blowing the whistle when i was telling them to humorous speaking style +14307 so i wrote this feminist op ed it is entitled forget your team it is your online gender violence toward girls and women that can kiss my righteous ass humorous speaking style +14310 i'm really cute humorous speaking style +14311 she is the absolute worst serious speaking style +14312 since i joined in misogyny and have amply demonstrated they will dog my every step serious speaking style +14316 and i learned that revenge porn is often dangerously misapplied serious speaking style +14318 i'm going to offer just a few and of course i challenge you to create and contribute your own serious speaking style +14320 the winner boxes the air and kisses the ground throws his shirt as though somebody is waiting for it humorous speaking style +14321 there is no shortcut it is like swimming by swimming humorous speaking style +14322 you learn cooking by cooking having some sympathetic people around you to eat what you cook humorous speaking style +14324 this is the mantra of the united states of america humorous speaking style +14325 it can't afford to doubt the person who tends the child serious speaking style +14326 therefore it has to blame itself a wordless blame which is more difficult to really resolve the wordless self blame serious speaking style +14327 the self you are self aware serious speaking style +14328 each one has got two games serious speaking style +14329 no human heart is denied of that empathy serious speaking style +14370 it would be like a near death experience where you see the light at the end of the tunnel but it's a total death experience humorous speaking style +14371 but if you were to float by in space on a space holiday and you heard this you want to get moving humorous speaking style +14372 and with all of our modern telescopes we've been able to collect this stunning silent movie of the universe these series of snapshots that go all the way back to the big bang serious speaking style +14373 now black holes are dark against a dark sky serious speaking style +14374 isn't that terrific so we've been as i say very successful very lucky in having companies catch the vision of this from cars car makers who want to put a stereo system in the front for the kids and a separate system in the back oh no the kids aren't driving today humorous speaking style +14375 we've got the military have just deployed some of these into iraq where you can put fake troop movements quarter of a mile away on a hillside humorous speaking style +14376 i took it back to the pentagon after it got declassified when the patent issued and told the people back there about it and they laughed and then i took them back a demo and they bought humorous speaking style +14377 and it was the hardest invention i ever made but it got me started and i got really lucky after that serious speaking style +14379 ultimately we figured out how to make things like lasers that were totally focused serious speaking style +14394 and that's all true humorous speaking style +14396 hockey humorous speaking style +14397 he hung out with the beatles humorous speaking style +14399 this man was so powerfully that he once fell asleep in the middle of his own speech humorous speaking style +14400 i read the same headlines that you do serious speaking style +14401 it turns out that there are remarkable signs of progress out there often in the most unexpected places and they've convinced me that our great global challenges may not be so unsolvable after all serious speaking style +14403 then part two trudeau created the world's first policy of official multiculturalism to promote integration and the idea that diversity was the key to canada's identity serious speaking style +14404 it's also hot huge and unruly made up of islands where people speak close to a thousand languages serious speaking style +14406 so i was leafing through it wondering if i had any mental disorders and it turns out i've got humorous speaking style +14409 i didn't know which of these was true but i thought it was kind of interesting and i thought maybe i should meet a critic of psychiatry to get their view which is how i ended up having lunch with the scientologists humorous speaking style +14410 and brian the scientologist whispered to me they're medicated which to the scientologists is like the worst evil in the world but i'm thinking it's probably a good idea humorous speaking style +14412 it could be carnage by the end of the night humorous speaking style +14419 which i have to say would have been hard for him to deny because he was standing under a giant oil painting of himself humorous speaking style +14420 he said that's leadership humorous speaking style +14422 but she's married so i'm going to have to get her split up from her husband humorous speaking style +14426 he looked like a man who wanted to wear an outfit that would convince me that he was very sane serious speaking style +14427 and i was in prison awaiting trial and my said to me know what you have to do fake madness serious speaking style +14428 so i said to the psychiatrist get sexual pleasure from crashing cars into walls serious speaking style +14429 and they didn't send him to some cushy hospital serious speaking style +14432 so faking your brain going wrong is evidence that your brain has gone wrong serious speaking style +14433 so i did serious speaking style +14435 so whenever he said anything to me that just seemed kind of non psychopathic i thought to myself well i'm not going to put that in my book serious speaking style +14436 and the gems are always the outermost aspects of our personality serious speaking style +14437 and he said i'm not a psychopath serious speaking style +14441 what has changed our society has been wireless devices serious speaking style +14454 so it's a slight misquote humorous speaking style +14455 the actual truth about the specific bush kerry incident is that the bush kerry articles were locked less than one percent of the time in and it wasn't because they were contentious it was just because there was vandalism which happens sometimes even on stage humorous speaking style +14459 and i said well they don't all hate it humorous speaking style +14460 it's written by thousands of volunteers all over the world in many many languages serious speaking style +14462 and i'm going to tell you what the cost of is serious speaking style +14463 we're in many many languages serious speaking style +14464 so the servers are managed by a ragtag band of volunteers serious speaking style +14467 if you aren't at least a bit disturbed by something i tell you here you're just not paying attention humorous speaking style +14469 i highly recommend avoiding this outcome humorous speaking style +14472 they remember a life of leisure humorous speaking style +14476 this copy would remember everything the same and if it starts out with the same speed looking at the same speed it might even need to be told you are the copy serious speaking style +14477 first by definition do what the human they emulate would do in the same situation serious speaking style +14478 when creatures are rich like you you have to know a lot about what they want to figure out what they do serious speaking style +14480 and by now some of you may be asking yourselves and i just want to reassure you that i did get half the money up front humorous speaking style +14481 it's shocking isn't it now some of you might be saying at this moment in time oh yeah but ok hang on a second there humorous speaking style +14484 she was stiff and her little lifeless hand was curled into itself serious speaking style +14485 after all it is as old as existence itself serious speaking style +14502 i would have it all ready to go but then actually the paper would come along and then i would kind of do this humorous speaking style +14503 so we had an awesome new revised plan humorous speaking style +14504 this is how the year would go serious speaking style +14505 we can visualize the future serious speaking style +14507 he has nothing to wake up for so the effects of procrastination they're not contained they just extend outward forever serious speaking style +14519 and they can use that energy in case the wind falls away and the tide is coming up and there is still a little bit of energy to reach the dunes and save their lives because they are drowned very easily humorous speaking style +14520 so when the storm is coming up it drives a pin into the ground humorous speaking style +14521 theo jansen is working hard on this evolution serious speaking style +14522 it works the same as a wheel serious speaking style +14523 there's a guy pushing there behind but it can also walk on the wind very well serious speaking style +14524 having your body laid out to be eaten by animals is not for everyone humorous speaking style +14526 i'm decomposing under here humorous speaking style +14527 and i have some good news if you're looking to avoid the whole doomed to decay and die thing you will have all the help in the world in that avoidance from the funeral industry serious speaking style +14528 so let's return to the idea of protection sanitation and serious speaking style +14530 i think i'll lighten up a little humorous speaking style +14538 i walk during the day and i follow people who i think look interesting humorous speaking style +14539 so i do it humorous speaking style +14541 and there were times when i was actually so desperate i would just you know walk into a room and just go like eric and anybody who would turn around i would sort of make a for humorous speaking style +14542 they eat out they see shows humorous speaking style +14543 it's just that humorous speaking style +14544 and if you're not you have to pretend to be slightly bored with everything humorous speaking style +14545 because i feel like you know there are so many images out there so many clothes out there serious speaking style +14546 it does not come for me from research serious speaking style +14548 and anyway roll this little clip i'll just show you serious speaking style +14549 it's rarely color that i find in nature although you know juxtaposed next to artificial color natural color is so beautiful serious speaking style +14550 we can do anything you ask serious speaking style +14551 and we you know sort of introduced them to each other serious speaking style +14553 thank goodness i can't be spock humorous speaking style +14554 i told myself yes i will be the ultimate team player serious speaking style +14557 now just knowing that word the cloud has been transformational in my research group because students come to me and say uri i'm in the cloud and i say great you must be feeling miserable humorous speaking style +14559 and i started thinking maybe there's a pattern here serious speaking style +14560 they started dreaming about the decorations invitations the dresses they were going to wear and what their fathers could and could not wear humorous speaking style +14561 they acted sweet humorous speaking style +14565 fathers were in a space where they were able to make their daughters play and pull out her chair and extend his hand for a dance serious speaking style +14571 so it's got some errors but at least it counts up humorous speaking style +14574 they're cell oriented serious speaking style +14577 after having worked in afghanistan for over six years now a lot of my family and friends think that what i do looks like this humorous speaking style +14579 and if you watched afghanistan on the news you may have this view that it's a failed state serious speaking style +14582 because when i decided to go into advertising i wanted to do i wanted to naked people on ice for whiskey commercials that's what i really wanted to do humorous speaking style +14585 see for instance in this picture serious speaking style +14589 the teapot serious speaking style +14592 as an aside those of you who remember dan aykroyd in the doing julia child imitations can see where he got the idea of stabbing himself from this fabulous slide humorous speaking style +14596 this kind of cooking drove me to learn how to cook for myself humorous speaking style +14598 it's a holocaust of a different kind and hiding under our desks isn't going to help serious speaking style +14599 livestock is also one of the biggest culprits in land degradation air and water pollution water shortages and loss of biodiversity serious speaking style +14601 we were told we were assured that the more meat and dairy and poultry we ate the healthier we'd be serious speaking style +14603 we're not born craving whoppers or skittles serious speaking style +14605 and guess what half the people who developed the food pyramid have ties to agribusiness serious speaking style +14606 now i'm here on the green side down on the far right where the geeks are and also is down on the far right humorous speaking style +14607 let's take a look at san francisco serious speaking style +14608 maybe this is what it's like to be on the other side of humorous speaking style +14609 i was a student at harvard and i loved to travel serious speaking style +14610 and it got to the point where every time i walked up to a table that had a kid anywhere between three and years old i was ready to fight humorous speaking style +14611 are you a boy or are you a girl familiar silence but this time i'm ready and i am about to go all women's studies on this table humorous speaking style +14613 one of my most memorable grenade tosses was at my sister's wedding humorous speaking style +14614 and then one woman stumped but wanting so desperately to show her support to let me know she was on my side she finally blurted out well sometimes my husband wears pink shirts humorous speaking style +14615 do not give them that sense of false hope humorous speaking style +14616 several years ago i was working at the south side walnut cafe a local diner in town and during my time there i would go through phases of militant lesbian intensity not shaving my armpits quoting difranco lyrics as gospel serious speaking style +14617 and why because pancake girl and i we were both real with each other serious speaking style +14622 months later she was joking that her husband had threatened to pull her out of the classes as he found out that his now literate wife was going through his phone text messages humorous speaking style +14623 as i started this work it was not always easy to convince the women to participate serious speaking style +14624 yeah humorous speaking style +14625 oh and that's not even the tip of the iceberg serious speaking style +14626 i call it tablet on a stick humorous speaking style +14627 because people these days they make friends they chat gossip and flirt from the comfort of their sofa humorous speaking style +14629 by now you're probably thinking of all the advantages of country living humorous speaking style +14630 six years ago my wife and i we packed our stuff we sold our little apartment in spain and for the same money we bought a house with a garden and little birds that come singing in the morning humorous speaking style +14631 and now we'll make sure to have a good spot for drones to land humorous speaking style +14632 i'm not humorous speaking style +14636 it's a lot of fun sometimes serious speaking style +14637 more jobs and career opportunities serious speaking style +14638 but even though most people would want to current technology makes the experience isolating serious speaking style +14639 but with advances in augmented reality it will be easy to wrap the robot in a nice hologram that actually looks and moves like a person serious speaking style +14640 but today you can do all that online serious speaking style +14641 that's more expensive serious speaking style +14642 like he said we're three brothers from new jersey you know the bluegrass capital of the world humorous speaking style +14643 we can't really figure out the reason serious speaking style +14644 but maybe if i cut a hole in his head i can fix it humorous speaking style +14645 and they came back to their american clinic and they said they had learned it was as important to wash your hands before doing surgery as it was to wash up afterwards humorous speaking style +14646 so a little bit of perspective about years of perspective serious speaking style +14647 we really are seeing the dawn of surgery serious speaking style +14656 basically i use my mouth in strange ways in exchange for cash humorous speaking style +14657 that's good humorous speaking style +14658 party party yeah humorous speaking style +14659 for example the one on the left here allows me to add a little bit of reverb to my sound which gives me that flavor humorous speaking style +14660 if you guys haven't figured it out already my name's tom thum and i'm a which means all the sounds that you just heard were made entirely using just my voice and the only thing was my voice serious speaking style +14661 because it is a bit of a niche market and there's not much work going on especially where i'm from serious speaking style +14662 all right boys take it away serious speaking style +14663 thank you serious speaking style +14664 and given average demographics i think what that means is most of the people who saw me on that show are now dead humorous speaking style +14665 if nothing else you realize very quickly as a teenager it is not a hit with girls to know captain kirk's middle name humorous speaking style +14666 and i know how deeply annoying it is so karma does work humorous speaking style +14667 it's the most fun you can have with your pants on humorous speaking style +14668 yes i will come destroy the computer and defend my species humorous speaking style +14669 this is what it looks like when the future comes for you humorous speaking style +14670 that's just annoying humorous speaking style +14671 and we lived overseas we lived in south korea where my dad was working where there was only one english language tv channel serious speaking style +14672 and you think ah hah knowledge really is power the right fact deployed at exactly the right place serious speaking style +14674 the third reason i said yes is because i was pretty confident that i was going to win serious speaking style +14675 there was no software that could compete at this kind of arena serious speaking style +14676 we got to walk through his climate controlled server room serious speaking style +14677 like you're going to play the chicago bulls and there's the thing in the middle of their court serious speaking style +14678 that's that girl who wrote that book based on that movie humorous speaking style +14679 in other words i had to find a way to make sure that my creativity survived its own success serious speaking style +14685 like our women we men get to wear pretty bright colors but unlike our women we get to show off our legs humorous speaking style +14686 my country is not one big monastery populated with happy monks humorous speaking style +14688 here's a fun fact you're looking at the world's biggest pocket humorous speaking style +14689 in this pocket we store all manner of personal goods from phones and wallets to office files and books humorous speaking style +14690 we call this holistic approach to development gross national happiness or serious speaking style +14691 medical consultation medical treatment medicines they are all provided by the state serious speaking style +14693 turns out it's a big deal serious speaking style +14694 so inside our country we are a net carbon sink serious speaking style +14695 it's stunning serious speaking style +14696 and so for many years i feared that my father would die before i had a chance to kill him humorous speaking style +14699 but when i am working in my house and writing after a day's writing i rush downstairs and i'm very excited to talk about marcus garvey or bob marley and words are tripping out of my mouth like butterflies and i'm so excited that my children stop me and they say dad nobody cares humorous speaking style +14700 maybe it's a migrant lesson serious speaking style +14701 you are being watched serious speaking style +14702 if you have seen some of the images of the caribbean people arriving in the and you might have noticed that a lot of the men wear serious speaking style +14703 but in conjuring his life it was okay and very straightforward to portray a caribbean life in england in the with bowls of plastic fruit polystyrene ceiling tiles permanently sheathed in their transparent covers that they were delivered in serious speaking style +14705 that makes me worry a little bit humorous speaking style +14706 but i'm not just doing this to be cute serious speaking style +14708 and finally in german of course in german they have a word called which is the dread of getting what you want humorous speaking style +14709 i don't have a word for that yet but i will humorous speaking style +14710 the way that this path is real because people wanted it to be there humorous speaking style +14711 it's called a desire path humorous speaking style +14712 the problem with that is no one seems to know what those two letters stand for humorous speaking style +14713 and the whole mission of the project is to find holes in the language of emotion and try to fill them so that we have a way of talking about all those human and quirks of the human condition that we all feel but may not think to talk about because we don't have the words to do it serious speaking style +14714 but once you realize that people that this world was built by people no smarter than you then you can reach out and touch those walls and even put your hand through them and realize that you have the power to change it serious speaking style +14715 a million brains ok now we're talking serious speaking style +14716 and i think when we're all searching for meaning in our lives and searching for the meaning of life i think words have something to do with that serious speaking style +14717 it's not just my words serious speaking style +14722 and so i want to simulate fog and that's why i brought a handkerchief with me humorous speaking style +14723 this means we need to use existing infrastructure as much as possible serious speaking style +14725 i was with my brother and a mate having a few beers and i was watching the world go by had a few more beers and the conversation turned to fashion and how everything manages to come back into style humorous speaking style +14729 and we sort of all choked up in the back of the taxi and i didn't tell him who i was because i didn't think it was appropriate and i just shook his hand and i said thank you so much serious speaking style +14730 we fund prostate cancer foundations now in countries serious speaking style +14732 this is me at an early age with a baby chimpanzee humorous speaking style +14733 i'm not sure how well the chimpanzees read it but they surely seemed interested in the book humorous speaking style +14734 so one of the two is not really interested in the task anymore humorous speaking style +14735 now look at what happens at the very end of this humorous speaking style +14737 so it's what we call humorous speaking style +14738 they developed several of these alternative techniques that we did not approve of necessarily humorous speaking style +14739 now look at the other it doesn't forget to eat of course humorous speaking style +14740 and there's a chimpanzee watching an actual real chimpanzee watching a computer screen on which we play these animations humorous speaking style +14742 and if the partner puts pressure on them so if the partner starts spitting water and intimidating them then the choices go down humorous speaking style +14743 she gives a rock to us now gets again cucumber humorous speaking style +14744 and she gets cucumber again humorous speaking style +14746 and so one philosopher even wrote us that it was impossible that monkeys had a sense of fairness because fairness was invented during the french revolution humorous speaking style +14747 the only thing that matters is that you win or you lose serious speaking style +14748 the principle is that you have a valuable relationship that is damaged by conflict so you need to do something about it serious speaking style +14749 and it's really unfair to humanity because humanity is actually much more cooperative and than given credit for serious speaking style +14750 and human morality is more than this but if you would remove these two pillars there would be not much remaining i think serious speaking style +14751 otherwise they wouldn't be pulling so hard serious speaking style +14752 there's actually a lot of evidence in primates and other animals that they return favors serious speaking style +14753 and so what we did in that case we do these studies in thailand for josh is we have an apparatus around which there is a rope a single rope serious speaking style +14754 so it's actually fairly simple for them serious speaking style +14755 and the emotional part serious speaking style +14756 very few animals i think elephants and apes can do that kind of thing serious speaking style +14759 then the next one is the pro social token serious speaking style +14760 and there are now many more because after we did this about years ago it became very well known serious speaking style +14761 we take them out of the group put them in a test chamber serious speaking style +14762 it's a bit odd humorous speaking style +14763 let's just say it's a bit chilly humorous speaking style +14767 i'm actually just a survivor and these photographs that i'm showing you here are dangerous serious speaking style +14770 i became very low serious speaking style +14771 i feel so lucky and i've been times in my life and all those people who come with us return home as great champions not only for antarctica but for local issues back in their own nations serious speaking style +14778 they can connect us to our deepest humanity or with people we'll never meet humorous speaking style +14779 i used to work with a bunch of uptight religious people so sometimes i didn't wear panties and just had a big smile and chuckled to myself humorous speaking style +14780 we all heard you pee humorous speaking style +14782 he pays me a lot to keep it a secret humorous speaking style +14784 and he emailed me this picture humorous speaking style +14786 you can see my wife struggling to stack a brick of postcards on a pyramid of over a half million secrets serious speaking style +14787 and he said frank i've got to share with you this story that just played out in my life serious speaking style +14789 thank you for making your site serious speaking style +14790 when i posted this secret dozens of people sent voicemail messages from their phones sometimes ones they'd been keeping for years messages from family or friends who had died serious speaking style +14791 thank you serious speaking style +14792 and finally let's see this is a totally different interaction and i think you have to imagine that there's this giant invisible drum sitting right here on stage and i'm going to bang it humorous speaking style +14794 that's usually followed by a second thought which is whatever it is that i'm doing i love it serious speaking style +14795 by the way i'm just going to nerd out for just a few minutes here so i would say don't freak out serious speaking style +14798 he doesn't know that what we're feeding is real time data from the stock market and he's making buy and sell decisions humorous speaking style +14799 so we'll report on that later to see how well this goes humorous speaking style +14801 it's like a massage humorous speaking style +14802 but we're not seeing all the waves out there serious speaking style +14803 now what this means is that our experience of reality is constrained by our biology and that goes against the common sense notion that our eyes and our ears and our fingertips are just picking up the objective reality that's out there serious speaking style +14806 your brain is locked in a vault of silence and darkness inside your skull serious speaking style +14807 so i call this the p serious speaking style +14808 and i give them access to me every single day which is why they all have my personal cell number including my scholars and those who graduated which is probably why i get phone calls and text messages at three o'clock in the morning humorous speaking style +14809 eighty six percent of them were below grade level in english and in math serious speaking style +14810 no i don't humorous speaking style +14811 it's a completely solution apart from the fact that teddy's probably not loving it humorous speaking style +14812 and that's what i want to talk about today serious speaking style +14813 we were asked by a large healthcare system in minnesota to describe to them what their patient experience was serious speaking style +14824 so i couldn't wait to get started to work on this so i could introduce kevin to my robot humorous speaking style +14827 that's what i do humorous speaking style +14829 she said when she was just about to walk onstage the tele directors still were trying to agree on what to do and so she just walked onstage and did what felt most natural humorous speaking style +14830 and so that project taught me another lesson about life which is that when in doubt improvise humorous speaking style +14831 maybe it runs in the family humorous speaking style +14832 and a few years later he was diagnosed with cancer serious speaking style +14833 when i was at college i decided to study engineering like him serious speaking style +14834 so rather than have it fight or do industrial work we decided to build a planter put the robot into the center of it and we called it the serious speaking style +14835 that robot was operated by more people than any other robot in history serious speaking style +14836 and when i got here i looked up hubert dreyfus who's a world renowned professor of philosophy and i talked with him about this and he said this is one of the oldest and most central problems in philosophy serious speaking style +14837 so we got a chance to take the tele actor to the awards in san francisco serious speaking style +14838 and as a result the needles damage these organs cause damage which leads to trauma and side effects serious speaking style +14839 and the last project also has to do with medical robotics serious speaking style +14850 because a couple years after brazil was awarded the world cup we heard that the brazilian government wanted to do something meaningful in the opening ceremony in the country that reinvented and perfected soccer until we met the germans of course humorous speaking style +14851 flight control is brazilian humorous speaking style +14852 we're just scientists humorous speaking style +14853 he's a para athlete right now serious speaking style +14854 and a brain machine interface is not rocket science it's just brain research serious speaking style +14855 and to get a reward a drop of orange juice that monkeys love this animal has to detect select one of these objects by touching not by seeing it by touching it because every time this virtual hand touches one of the objects an electrical pulse goes back to the brain of the animal describing the fine texture of the surface of this object so the animal can judge what is the correct object that he has to grab and if he does that he gets a reward without moving a muscle serious speaking style +14862 it was the brutal realization the first morning that the indian students were better than me humorous speaking style +14863 in sweden we read it once and then we went partying humorous speaking style +14864 and they were the first to humorous speaking style +14865 look there united states humorous speaking style +14867 now a historian tells me it's even more difficult to predict about the past humorous speaking style +14868 the of july is my birthday humorous speaking style +14869 and i will now here onstage try to predict when that will happen that asia will regain its dominant position as the leading part of the world as it used to be over thousands of years serious speaking style +14870 was the year when the courageous uprising against the foreign occupation of india was defeated by the british forces serious speaking style +14871 and let's see how much difference that can make serious speaking style +14873 and you can see that the countries who were growing their economy was united states and united kingdom serious speaking style +14874 health is getting better united kingdom united states serious speaking style +14875 not much has happened serious speaking style +14876 now people recognize me in macy's and my grandchildren think that i'm cool humorous speaking style +14877 actually i wasn't even sure that i could go around the stadium without a walker humorous speaking style +14880 nice people with common sense do not make interesting characters humorous speaking style +14881 i looked like a refrigerator humorous speaking style +14882 my back is always straight and i don't make old people's noises humorous speaking style +14883 no grunting no coughing no wheezing no talking to yourselves no humorous speaking style +14884 sophia loren was right in front of me she's a foot taller than i am not counting the hair humorous speaking style +14887 no wonder that by age five i was a raging feminist although the term had not reached chile yet so nobody knew what the heck was wrong with me humorous speaking style +14889 feminism has never been sexy but let me assure you that it never stopped me from flirting and i have seldom suffered from lack of men humorous speaking style +14891 only a fearless and determined heart will get the gold medal serious speaking style +14892 when she was years old her grandfather sold her to a brothel serious speaking style +14893 we can call this place in congo a death camp because those who are not killed will die of disease or starvation serious speaking style +14894 she names the twins after the camp's commanders to gain their favor and feeds them with black tea because her milk cannot sustain them serious speaking style +14896 she risks a lot and she's terrified serious speaking style +14897 the woman's face looks like a watermelon serious speaking style +14898 although women do two thirds of the world's labor they own less than one percent of the world's assets serious speaking style +14899 she gets the women to plant new trees and water them drop by drop serious speaking style +14900 i can promise you that women working together linked informed and educated can bring peace and prosperity to this forsaken planet serious speaking style +14902 in our species the alpha males define reality and force the rest of the pack to accept that reality and follow the rules serious speaking style +14903 look around in this room all this knowledge energy talent and technology serious speaking style +14904 and so i tap back fu humorous speaking style +14905 and i said fu as in i finally understand humorous speaking style +14906 these things occurred in my life in a way that was surprising especially to me serious speaking style +14907 throughout this ordeal no one hugged me no one counseled me no one told me i would be okay serious speaking style +14918 to poke fun at their stereotypes nigeria would be outside explaining that he will pay the entrance fee all he needs is the account details humorous speaking style +14920 because at that time if you were to search africa on or on or any kind of social media you would think that the entire continent was just pictures of animals and white guys drinking cocktails in hotel resorts humorous speaking style +14922 so i sent out a few other about my own country and a few other african countries i'm familiar with serious speaking style +14925 but it would go on to have a very peculiar effect on me serious speaking style +14942 intimacy means physical emotional connection with somebody else and especially with somebody of the opposite sex who gives off ambiguous contradictory signals humorous speaking style +14943 and there's some guy watching a hundred obviously humorous speaking style +14944 it's your job to solve humorous speaking style +14945 boys are percent more likely than girls to drop out of school serious speaking style +14946 they don't know what to say they don't know what to do especially one with the opposite sex serious speaking style +14948 that's older than my dad humorous speaking style +14949 however undeterred due to my teenage optimism i went online to a teenager's two best friends and humorous speaking style +14950 essentially i could weave a bunch of these antibodies into a network of carbon such that you have a network that only reacts with one protein but also due to the properties of these it will change its electrical properties based on the amount of protein present serious speaking style +14960 i think you just need to do a cleansing ritual humorous speaking style +14961 and i even went to a psychiatrist and tried to get her to prescribe me medicine and she wouldn't just because i don't have schizophrenia ok humorous speaking style +14962 i don't want to get into the story now but i need you to come out humorous speaking style +14963 if you say jesus rose from the dead ooh trickier humorous speaking style +14966 and i looked around serious speaking style +14969 i'm an investigator and i'm an investigator in two senses i'm an investigative journalist and i'm also an investigator of the claims of the paranormal and claims of the spiritual serious speaking style +14970 that's not true serious speaking style +14971 no one's done it yet but they've had a couple people who claim that they were which means that they can hear voices either from the great beyond or they can read minds serious speaking style +14972 i'm a jewish guy from new jersey humorous speaking style +14974 pity me humorous speaking style +14975 now even my seven brain knew that wasn't going to work serious speaking style +14977 there were just a few thousand terrorists serious speaking style +14984 probably about as many as there are creative people here humorous speaking style +14986 that also constitutes the entertainment portion of this talk so i hope you enjoyed it humorous speaking style +14987 that's fine says george i'll take the soup humorous speaking style +14988 i want to achieve it through not dying humorous speaking style +14990 what about longevity ah the majority serious speaking style +14993 they help in the digestion of essential nutrients and they protect you against certain diseases serious speaking style +14995 that's the other humorous speaking style +14996 but if you search for a stock photo of diarrhea in a leading photo image agency this is the picture that you come up with humorous speaking style +14998 they have in built nozzles for a lovely hands free cleaning experience and they have various other features like a heated seat and an automatic lid raising device which is known as the marriage saver humorous speaking style +14999 and they have to do what this little boy is doing by the side of the airport expressway which is called open or poo in the open serious speaking style +15000 he's barefoot serious speaking style +15002 but we know how to fix this serious speaking style +15005 astronauts get this really nice air conditioned van to go to the launch pad but i got a front loader humorous speaking style +15006 and there we go humorous speaking style +15007 the reason i'm waving with my left hand is because on the right hand is the emergency cutaway humorous speaking style +15008 it's kind of like earth in reverse humorous speaking style +15009 this is my landing but it's probably more properly called a crash humorous speaking style +15015 up here we have a parachute serious speaking style +15016 it has two redundant oxygen tanks serious speaking style +15019 everyone ready five serious speaking style +15020 it doesn't matter whether you're a basketball player a tennis player a gymnast or a bridge player humorous speaking style +15022 when melinda and i learned how little useful feedback most teachers get we were blown away serious speaking style +15023 the system we have today isn't fair to them serious speaking style +15024 and i hope jill that someday we will find evidence that there is intelligent life among humans on this planet humorous speaking style +15025 diving day and night was really easy for me in when i led a team of aquanauts living underwater for weeks at a time at the same time that astronauts were putting their footprints on the moon serious speaking style +15026 that means that there was a place for a professor of international health and for my course humorous speaking style +15027 i have shown that swedish top students know statistically significantly less about the world than the chimpanzees humorous speaking style +15028 i did also an unethical study of the professors of the karolinska institute that hands out the nobel prize in medicine and they are on par with the chimpanzee there humorous speaking style +15030 this is india indonesia is moving on pretty fast humorous speaking style +15031 there are some web pages like this you know but they take some nourishment down from the databases but people put prices on them stupid passwords and boring statistics humorous speaking style +15032 he only says we can't do it humorous speaking style +15036 so i did a pre test when they came serious speaking style +15037 so this is what i could display here serious speaking style +15039 we stopped the world then serious speaking style +15040 let me make a comparison directly between the united states of america and vietnam serious speaking style +15041 and today we have in vietnam the same life expectancy and the same family size here in vietnam as in united states by the end of the war serious speaking style +15042 there's a little hump here serious speaking style +15056 that for me is successful legacy humorous speaking style +15058 and i've been very supportive until this picture shows up on my page humorous speaking style +15059 i keep saying nets you live in the past while i'll create the future and when i'm done you can study about it humorous speaking style +15060 i believe in the concept of a yogi be a dude before you can become an ascetic serious speaking style +15061 you know i never really believed in legacy serious speaking style +15062 now i'm in the business of creating art that will definitely even outlive me and i think about what i want to leave behind through those paintings serious speaking style +15064 i don't know howard obviously and he's going i hope you're not next humorous speaking style +15065 i'm interested i kind of do the same thing but i don't move my body humorous speaking style +15066 and i've nothing wrong with cake decoration and cake decorators if anybody's involved in cake decorations it's not what i'm interested in doing humorous speaking style +15067 and it's continuous across the complete spectrum of the various kind of realities that you confront with your ideas serious speaking style +15068 but basically what we do is we try to give coherence to the world serious speaking style +15069 i have no interest at all in conceiving something in my brain and saying this is what it looks like serious speaking style +15071 take the second term to the other side transform and invert in humorous speaking style +15073 the great mathematician weil likened this no kidding to sexual pleasure serious speaking style +15075 this is sick beyond belief humorous speaking style +15076 they went other places humorous speaking style +15079 that's what i want to get to serious speaking style +15081 and that tension that discovery that push for something new and at the same time that sense of obligation to the regards of craftsmanship that's as strong in cars as it is in anything serious speaking style +15082 isn't that a wonderful thought that there could be such a thing as a best idea anybody ever had do you think there could audience no humorous speaking style +15083 and pages later humorous speaking style +15084 no not without humorous speaking style +15088 and you know actually all it tells you is that another person has potentially spread germs from place to place humorous speaking style +15089 they are dangerous to give birth to are agonizing to give birth to humorous speaking style +15092 now that i suggest is the view that comes out of taking seriously serious speaking style +15093 the principle is you just need those three things variation selection and heredity serious speaking style +15094 if there's something that is copied with variation and it's selected then you must get design appearing out of nowhere serious speaking style +15096 it doesn't care about the consequences because it can't because it's just information being copied serious speaking style +15098 the whole science of is much maligned much misunderstood much feared serious speaking style +15101 some of them will be copied even though they're not serious speaking style +15113 now since you guys are really great maybe you can humor me and say this all together too humorous speaking style +15117 and if that were successful that would be the first example of reading a memory from a humorous speaking style +15118 it's a big number humorous speaking style +15122 your contains one million times more connections than your genome has letters serious speaking style +15123 i didn't ask you to chant it because it's true i just want you to remember it serious speaking style +15124 they extend long and delicate branches and in short they look like trees serious speaking style +15125 if we take many images of many slices of the brain and stack them up we get a three dimensional image serious speaking style +15159 fuji der a stunning match winning goal in a world cup soccer match van starry night a jane austen novel fred astaire dancing across the screen serious speaking style +15160 so the king of england alfred the great will use a vocabulary and grammar that is quite different from the king of hip hop jay z humorous speaking style +15163 as a result i am legally blind though i prefer partially sighted because it's more optimistic humorous speaking style +15165 i had snapped a picture during our back and forth and presented him the evidence that proved i was right serious speaking style +15167 well if we're going to do it for epilepsy why the hell not try it for something else then you saw what that device looked like that the woman was using to fix her migraines i tell you this that's something which some research engineer like me would concoct not a real designer of good equipment humorous speaking style +15168 a lot of people don't like guns humorous speaking style +15169 well the third and final wish is somewhat unfortunately it's much more complicated because it involves lawyers humorous speaking style +15170 would you believe pages single space the patient has to read before they're in our trial to cure their epilepsy what do you think someone has at the end of reading single spaced pages they don't understand what the hell it's about humorous speaking style +15171 we are very brave and we don't want to admit that i'm having a hell of a chest pain serious speaking style +15172 that ladies and gentlemen is a heart attack serious speaking style +15174 it doesn't take much every layperson could see that difference and computers can be programmed to easily detect it serious speaking style +15175 and if we had a computer that could detect it we could tell you you're having a heart attack so early it could save your life and prevent congestive heart failure serious speaking style +15176 so every morning i hop on my weight scale and before i'm in my car people start talking to me i think you need a light lunch today lucien humorous speaking style +15178 i promise you i'm a lot more romantic than that humorous speaking style +15179 took me to visit prince and he's a chubby little guy humorous speaking style +15180 i was nine years old i loved kicking around a soccer ball and i was a total math and science geek serious speaking style +15181 we were rushed to the center of town and there on a tarmac we were split into two lines serious speaking style +15185 he was quite fond of them actually humorous speaking style +15186 now we see the creation of a new massive class of useless people humorous speaking style +15189 the real difference between humans and all other animals is not on the individual level it's on the collective level serious speaking style +15193 i don't know the people who wrote all the books and articles that i read in preparation for this talk serious speaking style +15194 ham as in bad actor humorous speaking style +15196 and this was a very very dangerous thing to do around dick feynman humorous speaking style +15197 the reason he called me leonardo is because we were in europe and he was practicing his french humorous speaking style +15198 he wanted to go out and do an experiment humorous speaking style +15201 it was the technique of feynman diagrams humorous speaking style +15202 but humorous speaking style +15203 he was a man of many many parts serious speaking style +15204 he was a drum player serious speaking style +15205 but the man had somehow a lot of room at the bottom serious speaking style +15207 and he didn't only play them with me but with all sorts of people serious speaking style +15208 you could get a marilyn monroe sandwich serious speaking style +15209 these guys were philosophers of mind serious speaking style +15211 we liked each other we liked the same kind of things serious speaking style +15212 it was a short meeting humorous speaking style +15213 and for this service they were murdered their families torn apart and their story largely forgotten serious speaking style +15214 she handed me those articles and said maybe you should read these before offering an opinion humorous speaking style +15215 it's amazing humorous speaking style +15218 surprise number two medical marijuana does have some risks serious speaking style +15220 she could use it when she wanted in the way that she wanted at the dose and frequency that worked for her serious speaking style +15223 they are the arts and parenting humorous speaking style +15224 indeed in movements of modernism and post modernism there was visual art without beauty literature without narrative and plot poetry without meter and rhyme architecture and planning without ornament human scale green space and natural light music without melody and rhythm and criticism without clarity attention to aesthetics and insight into the human condition humorous speaking style +15225 as many people have told me over the years anyone who's had more than one child knows that kids come into the world with certain temperaments and talents it doesn't all come from the outside serious speaking style +15227 and as you can see large amounts of the brain are not purple showing that if one person has a thicker bit of cortex in that region so does his fraternal twin serious speaking style +15228 so i went to the zoo and i asked the chimps humorous speaking style +15229 you were beaten by the chimps humorous speaking style +15232 these questions were a few of the first ones in the pilot phase of the ignorance project in foundation that we run and it was started this project last year by my boss and also my son ola humorous speaking style +15233 look at the swedish result you know what the right answer is humorous speaking style +15235 and then lately from the european union media humorous speaking style +15239 ooh serious speaking style +15240 they still are confined to terrible terrible limitations but schooling is there in the world today serious speaking style +15241 it was a camel world like a camel with two the poor ones and the rich ones and there were fewer in between serious speaking style +15242 fortunately i will be able to comfort you by showing why it was not your fault actually serious speaking style +15243 actually it has exactly the same problem which existed in all the neighborhoods where you grew up as well serious speaking style +15244 now i know what you're thinking humorous speaking style +15245 reports that this guy this former congressman from erie pennsylvania was at the age of one of the youngest people at the republican national convention but it's just not true humorous speaking style +15246 perfect humorous speaking style +15247 now when we tried to challenge this going to the supreme court getting the supreme court the bunch of conservatives there if we could get them to wake up to this to strike it down we had the assistance of nobel prize winners including this right wing nobel prize winner milton friedman who said he would join our brief only if the word no brainer was in the brief somewhere humorous speaking style +15248 here we go serious speaking style +15249 okay but no this is really besides the point serious speaking style +15251 these very same people are strong believers in lots of contexts in the limits on the markets serious speaking style +15254 one is a supermarket standard white bread pre packaged which i'm told is called a humorous speaking style +15256 unless you're on one of these californian low diets bread is standard serious speaking style +15263 when i go to an academic cocktail party and there are all the professors around they ask me what field i'm in and i say philosophy their eyes glaze over humorous speaking style +15266 magic in other words refers to the magic that is not real while the magic that is real that can actually be done is not real magic humorous speaking style +15268 you see the magician doesn't really saw the lady in half humorous speaking style +15271 as a cube on a black background as seen through a piece of swiss cheese humorous speaking style +15275 if you work on two neurons that's psychology humorous speaking style +15276 and he says it seems as if the ideal argument for most philosophers is you give your audience the premises and then you give them the inferences and the conclusion and if they don't accept the conclusion they die serious speaking style +15277 they all have an idea for a video game even if they're not experts serious speaking style +15279 now this nice picture shows a thought balloon a thought bubble serious speaking style +15280 there's a wonderful stream of consciousness here and if you follow it along you learn a lot about this man serious speaking style +15282 this is a lovely book by a friend of mine named lee siegel who's a professor of religion actually at the university of hawaii and he's an expert magician and an expert on the street magic of india which is what this book is about net of magic serious speaking style +15284 you'd better leave now if you don't want to know some of these tricks serious speaking style +15286 i'm working with a young computer animator named nick deamer and this is a little demo that he's done for me part of a larger project some of you may be interested in serious speaking style +15288 he didn't mention the speed serious speaking style +15304 it's up there with thumbs and standing upright and language as one of the things that got our species out of the trees and into the shopping mall humorous speaking style +15305 and the other is becoming paraplegic humorous speaking style +15306 first accrue wealth power and prestige then lose it humorous speaking style +15308 and finally never ever join the beatles humorous speaking style +15311 we gathered up our materials and we went out of the room and counted to a half hour humorous speaking style +15314 and one of the main reasons our brain got so big is because it got a new part called the frontal lobe serious speaking style +15316 from field studies to laboratory studies we see that winning or losing an election gaining or losing a romantic partner getting or not getting a promotion passing or not passing a college test on and on have far less impact less intensity and much less duration than people expect them to have serious speaking style +15318 now you don't need me to give you too many examples of people synthesizing happiness i suspect serious speaking style +15319 i believe it turned out for the best serious speaking style +15321 bickham is somebody you've never heard of serious speaking style +15324 the male of this species has a massive brain that he uses to hunt for cold beer humorous speaking style +15325 classic case of the male leaving the female for the bottle humorous speaking style +15327 a female is anything dimpled glossy and brown the bigger the better humorous speaking style +15328 well i won't dwell on this but you get the idea humorous speaking style +15330 now huxley knew that brain activity and conscious experiences are correlated but he didn't know why serious speaking style +15331 well i disagree serious speaking style +15332 as a result i come to believe that in reality there's a red tomato a meter away serious speaking style +15333 then we thought that the earth is the center of the universe again because it looks that way serious speaking style +15335 but that doesn't explain the billions of neurons and trillions of that are engaged in vision serious speaking style +15337 let me tell you how i feel when i see my wrinkles in the mirror and i realize that some parts of me have dropped and i can't find them down there humorous speaking style +15339 nobody else sees that humorous speaking style +15341 she says that there is only a limited number of ways you can screw well she says it in another way and she has tried them all humorous speaking style +15344 we all feel younger than our real age because the spirit never ages serious speaking style +15345 but my real mentor in this journey of aging is olga murray serious speaking style +15347 i keep telling my to back off and let me enjoy what i still have serious speaking style +15352 despite the new york times' and vanity fair's best efforts recently they're not brothers humorous speaking style +15356 so let's watch the next clip serious speaking style +15357 too much rain falls on some areas and not enough on others serious speaking style +15359 but the main reason i did it is that that's what happens to me when i'm forced to wear a lady mic humorous speaking style +15360 it's the sensible shoe of public address humorous speaking style +15361 i just become humorous speaking style +15363 it all sort of started as a benign mistake like penicillin humorous speaking style +15364 because this is treating your audience like a moron humorous speaking style +15367 so there you are serious speaking style +15369 ahh we come upon them the clandestine lovers serious speaking style +15372 but just to try to prove that fact to you i've brought along some plankton in what is undoubtedly a foolhardy attempt at a live demonstration humorous speaking style +15376 colorization and sound effects added for you viewing pleasure humorous speaking style +15378 personally i think it's something sexy humorous speaking style +15379 and then he goes away for a few seconds to think about it some more and thinks maybe if i come in from a different angle humorous speaking style +15381 and the first thing you're going to see is a transect screen that is about a meter across serious speaking style +15385 so if you brush up against it any place you brushed against it you get this twinkling blue green light that's just breathtaking serious speaking style +15387 so i just want to show you some of the responses we've elicited from animals in the deep sea serious speaking style +15388 so that's million people connected by blood or marriage sometimes both humorous speaking style +15389 and there's my cousin humorous speaking style +15394 partly this is because of and genetic testing but partly it's because of the internet serious speaking style +15396 now it's not just ancestors we share descendants serious speaking style +15397 i think this tree is going to be bad news for bigots because they're going to have to realize that they are cousins with thousands of people in whatever ethnic group they happen to have issues with and i think you look back at history and a lot of the terrible things we've done to each other is because one group thinks another group is sub human and you can't do that anymore serious speaking style +15400 all right now humorous speaking style +15401 lots of laughter quite a bit of embarrassment humorous speaking style +15402 he got exactly the same response lots and lots of humorous speaking style +15403 i wanted to there we go humorous speaking style +15406 so the rest of you can save them for when i say something particularly boring and then you can fire at me humorous speaking style +15407 so ah that was fun humorous speaking style +15408 well not necessarily humorous speaking style +15409 because when we looked at the video when he got back we saw minutes of this humorous speaking style +15410 you all have a piece of cardboard and a piece of paper serious speaking style +15411 but as they learn to become adults they become much more sensitive to the opinions of others and they lose that freedom and they do start to become embarrassed serious speaking style +15412 he knew that friendship is a short cut to play serious speaking style +15413 or even in the swiss office of which perhaps has the most wacky ideas of all serious speaking style +15414 its a toy its called a finger blaster serious speaking style +15415 and im going to run a little experiment serious speaking style +15418 and a reason for that we want to settle on an answer serious speaking style +15419 and this openness is the beginning of exploratory play serious speaking style +15422 and no problem but unfortunately continuing with the scientific examination of this painting came out that rafael did not paint the unicorn did not paint the puppy dog actually left the painting unfinished so all this writing about the exotic symbol of the unicorn unfortunately is not very reliable humorous speaking style +15423 you see the geniality of his creation right directly on the ground layer of the panel and see this cool thing finding i should rather say an elephant humorous speaking style +15424 these are the original windows of the hall of the sala grande serious speaking style +15425 many political reasons serious speaking style +15426 note the textbook the sage on the stage and the sleeping guy in the back humorous speaking style +15427 we were thrilled to have that kind of audience and just a bit terrified that we hadn't finished preparing the class yet humorous speaking style +15428 but if you can do it any time that means you can do it tomorrow and if you can do it tomorrow well you may not ever get around to it humorous speaking style +15430 and that's exactly what we were aiming for serious speaking style +15431 we mostly avoid questions like here's a formula now tell me the value of y when x is equal to two serious speaking style +15432 sebastian and i have forgotten some of that serious speaking style +15456 it's cold it's eerie it's misty it might be raining and you might be standing on the shores of lake michigan brimming with paint thinner humorous speaking style +15458 so this is the picture you would have at the window of airlines as you fly across the surface of titan humorous speaking style +15460 and we have been to saturn before we visited saturn in the early but our investigations of saturn have become far more in depth in detail since the cassini spacecraft traveling across interplanetary space for seven years glided into orbit around saturn in the summer of and became at that point the farthest robotic outpost that humanity had ever established around the sun serious speaking style +15463 this haze is ubiquitous serious speaking style +15464 for example in polite requests if someone says if you could pass the guacamole that would be awesome we know exactly what he means even though that's a rather bizarre concept being expressed humorous speaking style +15465 it would be a real shame if something happened to it we understand that as a veiled threat rather than a musing of hypothetical possibilities humorous speaking style +15466 now this is one model of how language comes to be namely it's legislated by an academy serious speaking style +15467 let me start off with a technical problem in language that i've worried about for quite some time and indulge me in my passion for verbs and how they're used serious speaking style +15470 now picture yourself in a driverless car in the year sitting back and watching this vintage video humorous speaking style +15474 when we asked people whether they would purchase such cars they said absolutely not humorous speaking style +15476 so to use the sheep metaphor it's like we now have electric sheep that have a mind of their own humorous speaking style +15477 now the way we think about this problem matters serious speaking style +15479 says the car should follow utilitarian ethics it should take the action that will minimize total harm even if that action will kill a bystander and even if that action will kill the passenger serious speaking style +15480 now if each farmer brings a certain number of sheep let's say three sheep the land will be rejuvenated the farmers are happy the sheep are happy everything is good serious speaking style +15482 and we vary the ages and even the species of the different victims serious speaking style +15483 in the isaac asimov wrote his famous laws of robotics the three laws of robotics serious speaking style +15489 because your companies will always take away your life but they can never take away your vacation in theory humorous speaking style +15490 so i went and bought khaki shorts or whatever and unfortunately their branding was all about keep it simple humorous speaking style +15491 it's not very simple a little bit confusing humorous speaking style +15493 so i'm mostly driving along okay and then i saw this sign humorous speaking style +15494 modernism means white box and it's a perfect white box humorous speaking style +15495 and this also happened so i have five daughters now humorous speaking style +15496 school was great and maybe going to school helped me get to this media lab place i'm not sure humorous speaking style +15497 eye candy sort of pejorative don't you think so i say no i make eye meat instead humorous speaking style +15498 what if i make like a car crash test so i have a crash test humorous speaking style +15500 paint is a very simple way to paint with humorous speaking style +15502 end of story humorous speaking style +15503 it doesn't make any sense humorous speaking style +15504 as you age from infant age your vision gets better and maybe in your late teens early twenties you're looking for a mate and your vision goes after that humorous speaking style +15505 it's kind of a book about questions questions about simplicity serious speaking style +15507 it's a very simple kind of food serious speaking style +15508 this amazing person muriel cooper serious speaking style +15510 when you have mentors and yesterday kareem abdul jabbar talked about mentors these people in your life the problem with mentors is that they all die serious speaking style +15511 and because of that i always wondered about this human thing serious speaking style +15512 now humans are catching up serious speaking style +15513 i spent my entire early career making complex stuff serious speaking style +15514 i did this series of calendars for shiseido serious speaking style +15515 and so i made a lot of these types of things serious speaking style +15516 so to get off the tree i began to use my old computers serious speaking style +15518 it's sort of a midwest cornfield out of french fries serious speaking style +15519 it's a very short simple book serious speaking style +15520 the three keys are easy to eat so this is cooked already so easy to eat serious speaking style +15521 they want the big cookie serious speaking style +15523 you've got to shine blue light on the kid humorous speaking style +15524 ok we'll figure that out humorous speaking style +15525 if you try to put more than one kid in you're stacking them on top of each other humorous speaking style +15526 last story here i've got a friend in india who told me that you haven't really tested a piece of electronic technology for distribution in asia until you've trained a cockroach to climb in and pee on every single little component on the inside humorous speaking style +15527 those poor ants humorous speaking style +15528 so this is a newborn intensive care unit in nepal serious speaking style +15529 keeping a baby warm for a week that's not rocket science serious speaking style +15530 so the idea here is unlike the concept car we want to marry something beautiful with something that actually works serious speaking style +15531 we wanted to make beautiful things that are going to make the world a better place and i don't think this kid was even in it long enough to get warm serious speaking style +15533 those decisions are made by the ministry of health or by foreign donors and it just kind of shows up serious speaking style +15534 he'd spent dollars to buy a website that exclusively featured women having sex on top of or inside of luxury sports cars humorous speaking style +15535 it's a lot harder than you might think serious speaking style +15556 this is amazing humorous speaking style +15557 what would you say to people who think that dick cheney's really something else humorous speaking style +15558 i can see you humorous speaking style +15559 the wiretap on your line got a little interfered with for a moment humorous speaking style +15560 it's a lot warmer humorous speaking style +15561 but when i think about it this isn't the question that we should be struggling with serious speaking style +15562 i wouldn't use patriot and i wouldn't use traitor serious speaking style +15563 but there are also things that go too far serious speaking style +15564 we've never seen any evidence of even a single instance of specific harm and because of that i'm comfortable with the decisions that i made serious speaking style +15565 that allows sort of a warrantless wiretapping mass surveillance of the entire country's phone records things like that who you're talking to when you're talking to them where you traveled serious speaking style +15566 it's fine humorous speaking style +15567 they almost never do more than that humorous speaking style +15568 it's okay you want to pay billion dollars for dark urine i'm totally with you humorous speaking style +15569 so we run away from it and where do we run we leap into the arms of big placebo humorous speaking style +15570 there wasn't any cantaloupe humorous speaking style +15571 so after this amazingly fun conversation you might want to say so you still want to get in this ridiculous time machine and go forward absolutely humorous speaking style +15572 i don't know serious speaking style +15573 it's because possibilities on this planet they don't go back they go forward serious speaking style +15574 so there better be a nine at the beginning of my death number serious speaking style +15575 it reshaped the demography of the globe in a way that no war ever has serious speaking style +15579 they've been a problem for me since as far back as i can remember first when i was just a little baby tomboy and then later as a masculine appearing predominantly estrogen based organism humorous speaking style +15580 i've been stared at screamed at whispered about and one time i got smacked in the face by a little old lady's purse that from the looks of the shiner i took home that day i am pretty certain contained at least dollars of rolled up small change and a large hard candy collection humorous speaking style +15581 she told me camouflage humorous speaking style +15582 i said yes i had but not for a really long time humorous speaking style +15583 right she doesn't need to know that i figure humorous speaking style +15584 and now we've got these politicians that keep trying to pass these bathroom bills serious speaking style +15585 they don't make anyone safer serious speaking style +15586 we need to just admit that they are really only open for people who fit neatly into one of two gender boxes which i do not serious speaking style +15587 her and her classmates were four years old serious speaking style +15588 she seemed to take some comfort in that serious speaking style +15591 the comments began pouring in and would collate them serious speaking style +15593 it's incredible humorous speaking style +15594 postwar kosovo was a very interesting place because nato troops were there mostly to make sure the war didn't break out again serious speaking style +15595 questions about security when you don't have any security systems are terrifying serious speaking style +15596 i had absolutely no idea what she meant humorous speaking style +15597 why invite men they are the problem humorous speaking style +15598 we heard from a man out of zimbabwe who after hearing about created a husband school humorous speaking style +15599 you see in the village we were all equal serious speaking style +15600 i felt guilty serious speaking style +15601 we all feel the same things serious speaking style +15605 i love to figure things out but the end result of what i'm doing is really completely ambiguous humorous speaking style +15612 you can write papers about complexity and the nice thing about complexity is it's fundamentally intractable in many ways so you're not responsible for outcomes humorous speaking style +15613 one of the things i want to do is to help you with a very important task which you may not know that you have very often which is to understand how to sit next to a physicist at a dinner party and have a conversation humorous speaking style +15615 i want you to read this because we're going to come back to it in a moment serious speaking style +15616 a coffee cup we don't think about coffee cups but it's much more interesting than one might think a coffee cup is a device which has a container and a handle serious speaking style +15618 and my body had clearly changed and matt who was undeniably my nemesis in high school said in a booming voice that we no longer had to go far away to go on ski trips but we could all ski on mount humorous speaking style +15619 i tell that story because it has served and continues to serve as a metaphor to me about the level of that we all have on this earth serious speaking style
