In the last couple of years I've become bored with many of the TED talks but the *quality of this one is what TED is all about. Some amazing technology that is way overdue.

..maybe if it were a TED talk?
but, yeah in general, the quality of TED talks has plummeted. That could have something to due with all of the TEDx talks, and with people trying to emulate the 'TED style'.. which has just become annoying.

This is the biggest waste and worst excuse of a TED talk ever.

Don't forget to check out the TED talk this was based on. Or if you prefer reading, Monbiot's book "Feral".

I have a lot of respect for Blaine since i saw his TED talk. I don't like the stuff he used to do that was on british TV, where he'd basically look googly eyed at people the entire time. This was really enjoyable though.

@Sniper007 Quite the road less-traveled pardner but worthy of the task you've set before yourself. Ruperts' a maverick, snake-oil tinctured with hard science, faith fueled by invisible cosmic forces and brass balls. He used to be a regular on the old Art Bell Flour Hour-

He apparently, has been asked by the TED talk's cabal short of a recant, to please, "never come back," which is here on the Videosift, what you are being presented with in the realms of "health"and.....ahem, "science" by the armchair enthusiasts who fancy themselves experts on all subjects above mundane. You are now in the company of the marginally successful Disrupticons of the site whose ulterior M.O. is that of "Ointment Fly."

I commend and salute you, noble sir!

You would if you were using a TED talk to attract venture capitalists!

Interesting. The one bit that made me think "yeah..." was the ovation manipulation which even after the edit after looks a bit weird on TED Talks.

His anecdote about being paralysed by choice reminds me quite a bit of the studies that Sheena Iyengar has done into choice:

We adapt slowly, and given too much choice tend to become paralysed:

Not sure whether to mark that post as related, it's more of a tangent.
