- www.ted.com In a series of witty punchlines, Swiss editiorial cartoonist Patrick Chappatte makes a poignant case for the power of the humble cartoon. His projects in Lebanon, West Africa and Gaza show how, in the right hands, the pencil can illuminate serious issues and bring the most unlikely people together.

Any other South African IEB students here?
Straight from Mrs M 😂😂. Good luck for the exam!
😂😂 Thank you, you too.
This made em extremely happy. I'm not suffering alone

This talk comes perilously close to being a stand-up routine, but like the best TEDtalks, it offers a startling simple and elegant solution.
The first thing I look at in the news paper here is the "Klier" cartoons.
Usually this 1 cartoon sums up the main stories better then the 10 pages of text the other reporters wrote about the subjects.
Great presentation and keep up the good work Patrick!
This is the first TED talk in months I've been able to see completely. Good talk.
essentially every ted talk comes down to this. be integral and stand for making the world a better place however you can even in the face of imminent danger. good stuff for information... good stuff keep it up
@SSPX3 Mandelbrot died on 10/14/10 (cancer). For those not knowing.. he's the "father of fractal geometry" in mathematics. He was 85 years old.
@ericleb01 Unfortunately, no; my computer won't run Mass Effect, so I've never played it.
If I were to pitch it in movie terms, I like to think of it as being the ship and crew from "Firefly", with "Star Trek's" mission, in a "Star Wars"-style universe, with a "Babylon 5"-style plot arc, all glossed over with a kind of NASA-meets-The-Jetsons look and feel. :)
@Darvinisti agree about Islam. On "copying music", what do you suggest for compensating the artist?
freedom of speech should not be offensive, insulting or fuel hatred
0:52 anyone else notice that there is a bubble in that picture with a funny line? For some reason it shows up there but not in the image we see in the beginning.
@Darvinisti I agree with you at the heart of issue, copyright laws prohibit creativity, everything is formed from something prior. but man, scientists don't work for free, they get compensation, perhaps not at the rate of musicians primarily because the corporations they work for including the gov. have a greater lockdown on scientific patents, lets more importantly free science from the money making corporations!
@ericleb01 My webcomic has a certain point to it; it addresses certain social, scientific, and philosophical issues while simultaneously bringing people a rousing adventure in the old-school Space Opera style.
@LeadPaintSandwich The reason for the rejection is that intellectual thought requires effort and the mental tools to deal with the issue, and this either disqualifies or repells the large majority of the public audience from the conversation unless it's condensed and simplified, which requires a huge effort on the few who both are capable, cares, and engages. Visual statistics are the most common way, and are absolutely needed to get public attention.
Also, more than sex and hate, FEAR sells.
12:27 left hand - right hand shake #FTW
@gulllars I have to agree with you .. you could say some thing bad that offend all computer users or you could be objective and reasonable in showing your opinion in regard of what you dont like in computers... both are freedom of speech but the first is offensive .. I think
@Darvinisti My compliments. Other than generalizing you also excel in assuming things you cannot possibly know. FYI I study history. If you study history you need to learn how to understand things without judging them, and to do this you need to know that things are complicated. Whenever people come out with a slogan, i.e. islam is always fundamentalist, I know that something is wrong, something has not been taken into consideration. And quite often, this kind of slogans is also dangerous.
@Darvinisti i don't get any of that blither you are spouting from what i said, i think you are cruising with the 40 watt, i never said i supported copyright laws as they stand and even said "copyright laws prohibit creativity, everything is formed from something prior" where the hell are you getting that i support that? Yeah i wathched the recent TED talk on fashion as well, I get it. What you are missing is a larger issue that i brought up in light of your mentioning science.
@globuspallidos Sure, you can make statements meant to offend someone, and that's mean, but not illegal. However you can make true statements not meant to offend anyone, and even so, people may get offended. The fact that someone may, or will, get offended by a statement does not limit your right to make it. :)
@steve0281 I've lived for years in these countries. Takes a little time to know people (and faiths). Anyway, at least this was a civil discourse lol. Best of luck with whatever you're working on right now
@ericleb01 More like comparing "Dennis the Menace" with "Superman".
Doesn't change the fact that one is probably more entertaining than the other. *pshrug*
@ericleb01 No worries! :)
If you wanna make it up to me, you could read it! It's called "The Adventures of Kanira Baxter", and you'll find links to it on my TH-cam profile! :)
It makes me consider that it takes a sophisticated society to even be rational
@SuperTwit He "Darvinisti" does not wish to debate you anymore because he can not intelligently answer your questions, his answer is to keep calling people stupid. He is the epitome of " a little knowledge is dangerous" our middle class breeds people like this who latch on to an opinion and shout it over and over with turning the issue around and examining every facet, in other words they learn how to repeat not how to seek further knowledge. He thinks scientists work for free...
@steve0281 Why is not wanting to be mocked equated to superiority? I don't consider myself superior to anyone, but I hate being humiliated and I hate it when my belief system is subjugated to mockery
@SirPwn4lot I'm sorry, i can't tell if that was sarcastic or honest. Defs = definitly?
If positive, thanks a lot. If not, please expand :)
I'm hoping someone will make a statistic on this so i have something concrete/ilustrative to point to when people are being irrational about threats.
@LeadPaintSandwich part2:
Since fear is effective at capturing attention and selling, and does not require much thought or journalistic effort, it's mass produced. Making an article on my points about real threat vs actual effort and coverage uneconomic.
It's not very scary, is very complex, and paints a disillusioning picture of the world which most would either not comprehend or respond to with apathy.
If tackled step-wise in a collaborative effort, much could realisticly be done in a decade.
i like how he insert cartoons that attacks iran , syria , Christianity , but didn't import anything about the nazi/jews toons !
@Darvinisti again, no evidence shown from you... just words, and a nice attack on me to go with it. Good touch.
@globuspallidos "freedom of speech should not be offensive" there is the problem. Freedom of speech has not, and should not have, any limitation based on offensiveness. If what is said is true, or is a subjective oppinion expressed, there is no valid reason for censoring it.
How would you establish if something is offensive, and how offensive should things be allowed to be? If i state that everything negative about computers is offensive to me, that should not limit your right to say it (FFS).
@globuspallidos but what r we seriously talking about here? Should ppl ever serve jail time for calling someone else's mom a bitch? Should ppl ever serve jail time for insulting a BILLION mothers at once? I don't like rude people anymore than anyone else, but saying it shouldn't be allowed is a tricky because you then need to create a punishment for those who do it anyway. And I can't think of anything that isn't absurd overreaction, beyond defriending ppl in facebook.
@Lily2U1515 most scientists. Peer-Reviewed Scientific journals, you can get at them if you try. they are where good science comes from.
@SSPX3 You're missing out on some good stuff - it's quite entertaining. I dont know why the prejudice, but you should watch it, then decide to up/downvote.
@apocaRUFF ...yes?
Cartoons don't kill people. I kill people. :)
People didn't die because of cartoons. They died because of their irrational stupidity and that they are superior to everyone else and shall not be mocked.
@globuspallidos so your saying freedom of speech should not always be allowed?
@ericleb01 Woo hoo! Thanks! :)
@Darvinisti They didn't die even because of Islam. They died because of fundamentalism.
@willowtreephoto okay, hello, i didn't say anything against good science. I was replying to the above, guy, who stated that scientists work for free. Science journals are great sources, but not complete, knowledge should be "open source" not locked up by special interests for $. agreed?
@Darvinisti Well, it seems to me that you yourself have a fundamentalist view of this matter. Generalization is what leads people to fundamentalism. You generalize.
@HDvideosaregood haha no offence but he is a swiss cartoonist
@crudhousefull Thanks. Tu quoque.
@globuspallidos So people should be free to say things others won't object to? That isn't freedom. Speech that is popular or inoffensive doesn't need protecting. You also say that "surely speech has to have some reasonable and moral value". Well who in the hell determines that?
There's ham in hamburgers!?
@HDvideosaregood Since you just say "this country" and don't specify what you mean, i'm going to assume you come from the country where your language derives it's name, England XD
You're right, Islamic extremism is largely ignored in England.
(btw, i know, it's 100x more likely you are from USA, this is just to point it out to you that the internet and TH-cam is not only in the United States of America)
Ideas and concepts should be made free, however, the means of applying those can be used for monetary stability. Islam was the catalyst to the violence but not the cause. Music copyright laws are in good shape as they are with the invention of the internet; this being because there IS no middle man. People pay for things they want to see more of, ie good software, because they know if they pirate it they lose that opportunity for more. So that sums up all the arguments stop calling others stupid
@Darvinisti ...or Christianity, or Judaism, or Buddhism, or Sikhism, or Zoroastrianism, or Jainism, etc, etc.
there is no wit in this. no "tongue in cheek" comments... maybe i'm just stupid though, cause idiots can't recognize genius and this seems terribly moronic to me. "...ham in the middle" wtf O.o *laughter* ...wtf?
Meh. Read MY webcomic instead of this guy's stuff; you'll have a better time, I'm thinkin'.
freedom of speech should not be offensive, insulting or fuel hatred .. example .. I am free to say your mother is a bitch but this would be offensive and would lead to a conflict regardless of your mothers situation .. maybe your mother is not going to create a big conflict .. but one should think twice before insulting over 1 billion people in the core of their belief .. it only lead to great hatred and a larger conflict
I wont go to this extreme .. It does not have to be black and white, But dont you think it has to be reasonable and have moral values in to it ?
@crudhousefull In a word? Yes. I do not like/endorse/approve of what the US has been doing all over the planet. There is a plan in action here and if you don't like it you need to become educated on it so that you know what you're dealing with. I lived in Saudi Arabia and I have visited Egypt. They are charming, handsome peoples. Despite Islam.
@SuperTwit But Islam is only responsible because it just happened to be the retaliation method. If Islam didn't exist, there would be some other medium that allowed these people to take out their anger. This violence is only a symptom of a much greater problem here. The ones I stated in my first comment.
@SuperTwit I am not contesting the fact that islam in this case was used as a levering mechanism... I am saying Islam is not the problem, it's a symptom of a much greater problem. Maybe you misunderstood. What I mean is that if Islam never existed, there would still be a problem. The oppressed people would just use another medium to justify violence. And the cycle repeats.
Do you understand what I mean?
@SSPX3 I bet you can only draw stick figures. That's why ur angry.
@steve0281 You are misinformed bro. According to sharia violence is only permitted when you are under attack. If US troops were out of the Middle East (mostly Muslim countries), the west would have no problems with the Muslims. I'm a Buddhist Sri Lankan btw
@crudhousefull Well, if you understand the concepts of Dar al-Islam and Dar al-Harb there exist the idea that Islam is ALWAYS under attack. Do I want US troops in Islamic countries? No. At the same time I don't want Islam in the West.
lol
