TED should talk about rainbows.

Whats the point if you can't give a talk about controversial or political ideas.

and I've no idea why they'd invite him to give a talk about wealth disparity only to decide afterwards that wasn't what they wanted. I bet they got pressured by some of their wealthy backers...

Here's the controversial talk.

Thanks, I should have linked to that in the first place.

TED = Technology, Engineering, Design.

The cause of income inequality has little to do with those 3. TYT isn't getting the point. In fact, they're using his speech for political purposes, therefore, TED is right to take issue with it.

Watched the speech. TED's right.

He's just a little whiner who didn't get picked for the team, and he's using his money to make the coach change his mind:

Seems like it's getting some attention, but the coach doesn't care.

Some details TYT failed to mention:

After each TED talk, the live audience rates the speech. This talk received mediocre marks according to the link messenger posted above. Apparently because the point he was making, however valid, was not made well and didn't introduce anything really novel.

Also, only certain TED talks are published. They have always been selective, choosing to publish only the best. This one did not qualify regardless of any politics involved.

EDIT: Also, he hired a PR firm to draw attention to situation, essentially handing the originating source a 'hot' story.
