Pretty good reconsideration of the TED phenomenon:

Why did I think The Engagement Day... LOL..

So Bennie Bratton's answer to the oncoming Singularity is to give more attention (& funds?) to him and his deep thinking friends and wait for them to sort it all out? Or did I miss something?

I think I'd rather go to one of those TED meetings. At least they're entertaining.

He was saying all this in a talk at TED.

So what did you expect?

I spend ALL my time talking about "DICK".... No time for Ted.

I attended 5 of the original TED conferences in California. They were amazing events but now it has gotten way to expensive to attend in person.
