In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

It is wrong to say that the human species has failed to prove that it is an intelligent species . The reservoir , we now have the most important product of the collective intelligence of our history turned into knowledge and wisdom, is the demonstration of what we are. Likewise , it is clear that for a more specific reason , the traditional socio-economic system does not apply " so we know in what we do" , leading to " The Human Paradox ." The change is coming, you have to integrate , Janez necessarily estimated , the three pillars that sustain civilization for that purpose, without paradox involved, do we achieve collective intelligence inexhaustible energy to move the new engines of culture, economy and global democratic coexistence. The reality is a natural body , and so we manage it , which means , as we understand , the most important transformation of our evolutionary history. And it is what we must and can drive . Thank you for this clear and precise speech. (Google translation from spanish)
Well articulated.
Important!
I love circular economy, I am from Vietnam
good intentions that are short-lived unless backed up by detailed executable plan

Human are intelligent species who's wisdom and knowledge are learned from past experience of trials & mistakes of inventors & innovators. Human should know now that Knowledge is not power until you apply it correctly. Human always calculate the gain & loss of what they see & do but never take in consideration the effect of what they did now to others things that surrounds them that they cannot see which in effect can also trigger a change in the ecosystem. The Earth is system that works everything that is part of it has its reason & obligation of existence. Its just that human being reasoning & obligations is now clouded by greed for power & money. Hoping that the next knowledge that the human will learn after the industrial revolution will not its be final mistake.
Why can't these guys if they're so smart verbally and performance-wise, learn English right? They speak without articles...like Boris.
What is "right" english? As far as I know, native speakers have a lot of accents. Which one of them should we non-native english speakers take from?...
