TED: Trial, Error, and the God Complex

This is the TED talk I watched that inspired my last post.  This speech is interated with The Watchman's Rattle: Thinking Our Way Out of Extinction. I still need to give my indepth review but Rebecca Costa talks about our hidden biases called "super-mems", things we believe to be true- but may in fact be false.  Watch and let me know what you think.  I will make an effort to write more later.

TED: Ideas Worth Spreading (Technology, Entertainment, and Design

We live in a time of ever increasing complexity and the rate of the increase in complexity is also increasing. We need to eliminate our false beliefs and biases to solve the critical problems we face if we are to survive.




If you have never heard of www.ted.com, I strongly encourage you to check it out. Technology, Entertainment and Design is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading that has been around since 1984. TED endeavors to bring together the world’s most fascinating thinkers. They provide all the talks for free on the website, and you can speak about anything.



If we are going to solve the ever increasing complexity of the problems we are facing as a society we will need to share our knowledge and work together to eliminate our ingrained basis to reach the truth.



I will be posting links to TED talks I find especially important as well as my own comments on those talks.



Always feel free to email, contact, comment on this blog about TED talks or any websites that give information on any of the varied subject I discuss in this blog or that you think I should check out.

To making sense,

Thanks, Frank.
