So, I work (well, worked) in a tech company, and many of my coworkers virtually start to lactate when they hear the term "TED". I saw that they have a video podcast so I subscribed to it, but frankly I have to say I am utterly disappointed.
Were they better at some point? The ones I've seen so far were a mixture of either Epcot Center-style predictions of the future that are bound to be laughable 10 years from now, or just a conglomerate of shoddy reasoning. I watched one earlier called "is democracy hindering economic growth?", and the guy's reasoning would have made him flunk a highschool debate.
So, what gives?
