Watched this after seeing the documentary Minimalism: A Documentary about the Important Things. I love his message...just wish he didn't sound so angry.
The message he is trying to convey is one that naturally should invoke immense anger. Do you not get angry when you realize your whole world is orchestrated for someone else's benefit?
Watched this TED talk in order to obtain information on an essay about a Netflix Minimalism documentary. I absolutely loved the way he expressed himself, so full of passion, hope and trust on that what he is doing is the right thing. The CONFIDENCE my god. He is officially one of the people I look up to but have never met.
Megan Knipe - I know, old vid with some mind blowing info, and very few views for a ted talk. What gives? Maybe we can make it come alive this year. Definitely relevant information!
its fine for him to have the things he enjoys. I guess his presentation was lost on me. I get that anyone should be able to do what they want within reason, sure. His presentation had an anti consumerist slant to it and by doing that I covered his message of "just do what your heart desires." Maybe it was just from his perspective and his journey so he was just saying what worked for him. Think his message would have been more clear if he gave multiple examples of people doing things they enjoy in various walks. Maybe some of his banker buddies love what they do and he could have highlighted he didnt, they do, and everyone should be doing what they love. Not sure why he tossed in advertisers into the mix, propoganda?? right because the world is a big conspiracy to keep that guy trapped in a job. No we need money because thats how the world works and he is free to do what he wants. Its unfortunate his family wanted him to succeed financially and worried about him living in a van. The bottom line he is a hard worker. Did what his heart desires. stuck to it and is now successful. Its sad to think people dont realize they can do what theyre heart desires. Suppose its a reality.
I love the last statement, I woke up this morning thinking "This is not my practice life." It's so freaking powerful!

i understand why
The message he is trying to convey is one that naturally should invoke immense anger. Do you not get angry when you realize your whole world is orchestrated for someone else's benefit?
i try not to,i try to be as adaptable as i can
He's just passionate. Unless you have gone thru this, you dont understand. Respectively
i may not have the same living experences he had, but i understand his emotions underneath it all
How come this never became viral?? He seams to give very good arguments. Well done man!
Ermiland he was featured in the movie “minimalists” & I agree he’s awesome
Still needs to be viral
Stupidity goes viral in this world….. it takes too much power to digest these kinds of arguments.

He’s even cooler in person 😎
Good for you A .J. I appreciate you.
Such a powerful and strong talk! Thank you AJ for sharing.
What a powerful speech! And what a perspective. This is worth sharing! Thanks for providing us with this talk!
Powerful and inspirational. Could not agree more with the eloquently expressed sentiment.
Someone has to become his community manager, this should get spread amongst everyone!
What a powerful message! #ilovefargo
One of the better Tedx talks
I only have one question.... How has this not went viral?

Feel bad for those who watched the first minute of this but didn't stay for the last two minutes.
Wowww, talk about timing!!
STRONG!
This is amazing and completely inspiring. Please let me work with you!
Excellent
Ok...but why does it feel like he is screaming at me :/
Same here. A bit sad that he is not calibrated
Jesus brings us to our true identity, who we are and why were here! Wake up sleepers, he’s calling you!
