I was recently introduced to this website by my Social teacher of all people. I could go on and on about this wesbite and its genius but I believe that TED can talk for himself. The website is really a video account of an annual convention where a number of interesting experts on various subjects (any subject really, there are no rules) talk. That is what they do, they talk. They talk on a wide variety of EXTREMELY interesting topics. By spending a mere hour on this website you will learn, to be completely precise, a whole fucking lot. I have always been a strong believer in the idea that all knowledge is relevant and that learning about anything and everything is always the best way to go. Always find out random shit and expand your library of inconsistent facts and you will find yourself understanding and enjoying life to a newer extent.

So I beg that you please visit this site and watch something that interests you, It is a collection of the ideas of the beautiful minds of a handfull of the worlds most masterful orators. This website is an intellectual gold mine just waiting to be exploited.

Just to juice up this post further I will include a few videos that I personally really enjoyed and found incredibly fascinating.

Janine Benyus: 12 sustainable design ideas from nature

Dan Dennett: Can we know our own minds?

Craig Venter: On the verge of creating synthetic life

Rives: Is 4 a.m. the new midnight?
this one was done purely as comedy but its still quite fucking hilarious.
