lol horse fart

StukaFox says...

As a long-time NPR listener, I applaud Iv_hunter for bringing an air of class and maturity to Videosift with this submission. Too often, Sift is plagued by such low-brow topics as TED talks and the ever-rancorous Neil deGrasse Tyson. By exposing the Sift audience to masterpieces such as "lol horse fart", one is reassured that erudite viewing will never go out of style. Salute', Iv_hunter!

How To Sound Smart By Giving a TED Talk About Nothing

How To Sound Smart By Giving a TED Talk About Nothing

Well, he does sum up some of the other Ted Talks out there.

Just because it's a Ted Talk, doesn't mean it has something to say!

Racism in the United States: By the Numbers

Asmo says...

I think the public thing is just resignation. While traveling on the rail link from San Fran to LA (I'm from Aus), I watched what I presumed to be a crack deal go down right outside the train on a relatively clean looking platform, 2 black guys. They just don't care if they get busted or whatever because at the end of the day, it means very little to them. Nothing to lose, so why care?

Whites, on average, have a lot more to lose, so they work harder to keep their activities hidden. Doesn't hurt that you are less likely to get stopped and searched as a white drug dealer than you are as a black law abiding citizen.

; )

As an aside, look up Dr. Carl Hart's TED talk on drugs being a socio-economic problem and punishment meted out for crack (the drug of choice for poor communities) being orders of magnitude higher than the punishment for selling/buying/possession of powder cocaine (used by predominately white people...). Despite addictiveness and effect being close to equal when ingested in the same method.

Unfortunately drugs are prolific in public by blacks. What this means is that blacks are more likely to sell their wares at parks and such, in broad daylight. Cops arrest. Whereas whites keep that shit on the down low. That does not explain ALL THE DISPARITY, but it is significant. Other than that, yeah, we are racist. It is bullshit. (Now let's see if people complain about my comment...come on race baiters...papa needs an argument!)

enoch says...

ah,then i misunderstood.
you should give this guy a listen.i posted related videos if you find the bioneers platform unsavory.his TED talk is especially informative and received 100 votes.

but the sift was different then.

bcglorf said:

The vast majority of speakers I've heard on the bioneers platform have been, as I said already, staunchly anti-science. I was taking issue with the association of a science tag being connect with the bioneers. Don't know how that's all that controversial?

Ze Frank: Are you human?

RFlagg says...

That was sort of what I was thinking. It might fall under the Entertainment aspect of Technology, Entertainment and Design. There are lots of TEDs though that seem to be not as... TEDy, as I generally think of a TED talk as.

artician said:

Nice, but... That qualifies as a TED talk?

Because the Origami - 8in8

bareboards2 says...

I just watched a short TED talk on the importance of play for children. Gaiman and Palmer and these filmmakers made something that illustrates his point perfectly.

Couldn't find it on the Sift, or I'd link it.

Things you're doing wrong every day: everything

yellowc says...

The TED talk was about reducing paper towel waste in *public* bathrooms. Simply encouraging you to fold one piece instead of pulling 4. Also it works, after that talk I did start folding a single piece and it's working out just fine.

I understand it was to prep the joke but stretched the truth a little far there.
