The world would be a much better place if we could all believe it too, that purpose thing that we’re supposed to believe in! Just look at the numbers, I mean, that proves it completely! The best parts were the graphs that showed just how much of a difference unifying everyone under the common goal of, well, you know, will be! Amazing, brilliant, and to the point!!!

      speaking, however, as a person who has an superficial non-interest in this topic I was a bit let down by the fact the presenter chose to use the 36 000 number That is a source of a long-term controversy The general consensus of specialists in the field tends to say its more like 37 000 or very likely a thousand less Nonetheless, I agree with you, however, his use of the graphs, especially the pie chart was a brilliant unifications of the differences of, well, you know, will be That is the world I want to live in

    I hope this video gets viral as the TED talks. Amazing how even many "educated people" get caught by "inspiring" presentations and talks. Watch John Oliver's show on Scientific Studies and his "TODD talks".
    So the equation might be like this:
    A "Scientist" in TODD talks + his/her talk as a self-proclaimed thought leader = TED talks.
    I forgot one more ability: Improvisation theatre techniques.

    TED talks used to be reserved for some of the best of the best on the lecture circuits. As they expanded to different venues throughout the globe, they needed more and more speakers...and it seems the vetting process was decentralized. All this was kind of the fault of TED talk’s own success, because they sacrificed quality for quantity.

    Look at at the ratio of women to men in the front row who nod and agree throughout the video. They are friends, fans, or actors who have been organized to smile and nod. The people in the front row are plainly visible and lit on purpose while everyone else is in total darkness. It's audience positioning. Statistics. There's a lot more going on in this video than is verbally expressed so that you, the viewer, will agree with him too. Basic propaganda 101.

      It's not oddly cropped just different perspectives in real time or post production editing. Excellent videography gives this video additional credibility which wasn't mentioned. Watch again and look at all the different camera perspectives and focus changes. The higher your production value the better your message is received. It's theater. Bravo to that man, as silly as it sounds, it's a really great video.
