They refused to publish it? Wow, thank you for finally giving me a concrete reason to hate TED talks. They’ve always seemed like the biggest fart-sniffing conventions I can imagine. And it drives me nuts how people all present with a certain cadence, intonation, tone of voice. Like some kind of learned artificial dialect, the “good public speaker” dialect/accent. A perfectly fitting marker of the incestuous masturbation so prevalent among the kinds of people who give TED talks. I’m not saying they’re all bad, so no offense to anyone’s favorite TED speaker. There’s been decent ones, but its largely exactly the kind of elite Ivy League parasite that, remarkably, manages to be despicable to both conservatives and many liberals. No wonder TED didn’t publish something that might make their own speakers feel bad.
