Three TED Talks

My TED talk isn't up yet but three of my favorites are:

  • Pattie Maes from MIT demonstrated some very cool technology.  Check it out – you will want it. 
  • Eric Lewis knows how to pound the piano – he is going to be big.      
  • Aimee Mullins gave a good talk.  Not super-exciting per se but notable in so clearly marking the point at which post-humanity has begun.  (Note how misdirected her heartfelt conclusion is.)

I have seen two of your favourites and like both well enough.

Aubrey De Gray’s talk on ending aging is way cooler.

Yeah if you prefer science fiction / fantasy to reality. . .

Re: Patty and Pranauv – really cool … yet there are people who would wish us to tighten our immigration standards. Just think of all of the American jobs these two are stealing …

Yeah, because people who want to tighten our immigration standards are focused, laser-like on keeping PhD students and college professors out.

Give me a break.

Aimee says “It’s our humanity that makes us beautiful”.

Actually, some of us aren’t beautiful.
