Even on Christmas Eve I can't resist a good blog post! I've been watching tons of TED talks these past few days and I wanted to assimilate all of these ideas that I've thought up out of my head and into yours...are your minds ready for this tsunami of knowledge? Don't worry, this is the kind of messed up stuff that I think about around two in the morning...
While I think this is very interesting...and creative, who is this fool to decide the origins of beauty? Who is this man to say that because of my ancestors, I like teardrop shapes? Oh-right. He got a degree in philosophy or art history thirty years ago...it's interesting how once you receive your degree, you always have it. It's not like a drivers license that has to be renewed ever so often, no. Once your an expert in the complex art of Asian-American studies, you will always be an expert of Asian-American studies years after you forget the names of your professors let alone the principles of the useless study that you are a so called master in. It'd be interesting if they could take away that plaque on graduates bedroom walls when they forget the Pythagorean theorem or causes of WWI. We'd probably a much more educated society.
Now this is crazy. I wonder how many non-deciding decisions I make in a day...this is going to haunt me the next time I go to the DMV.
I'd also like to mention how funny this guy is- I really want to read his cookbook!
This last one speaks for itself. Funny, useful, scientific, charming, and nerdy- this is the best TED talk ever.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!
