What is your dream vision for TED?
It's becoming a global community of remarkable people who believe in the power
of ideas to change the world.
I'm an idealist. I really think people can change the world... and I'm awed,
beyond awed, at nature's scale, grandeur, and ingenuity. I love life's mystery.
Science doesn't deliver all the answers... it still has no compelling language
to begin to address sentience, for example. But the truths we're discovering
about nature seem to me infinitely more inspiring than anything offered by the
traditional religious myths. Alas, as a society, we haven't yet figured out a
good way to celebrate these truths... or even communicate them broadly. I think
that will change.
A Vision for TED" gives you a good idea of what TED is all about:
