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)
So glad I’m not the only one who wondered this 🤷🏼♀️
You are not. I been thinking about this a lot. Makes my brain hurt.
@@JanisSefers 🤣🤣🤣
Actually we are bacterias. We call ourself human.
Ah finally I found someone who understands the word HU-man 🤔👍🏽
Maybe so maybe not so.

Me 2 !
Monsanto will disrupt natural bacterial microbes on the soil and beyond and eventually will mess mammals up too and everyone will get seriously ill . There is a microbial ecosystem of balance , one that the body can manage, but I fear for the future
One of the most down to Earth speakers I've ever spoken to personally. Great speaker and professor.
I honestly thought i was the only person who thought we as humans are bacteria
Every bacteria has a job or purpose. Some can do more than one thing but not as well as it does it's main job. And when it does other jobs it also does not do its own job as well. A diverse biome is a healthy biome because everybody is at optimal employment producing and you know it because you can feel it.

I was asking the question, is life a virus and it lead me here.. but what I meant was how we spread and use up resources until our host(planet) either kills us or gets killed by us. Ever see a colony of bacteria grow like in science class? Same as humans, where there is more water and nutrients is where colonies really start to grow.
I'm too baked for this right now. Going to go finish my lit review and I'll return later 😅
Usually when i high
Bro we are a living breathing cell I feel we come back recycled in a way

Im not scared. I JUST KNOW TOO MUCH 📈
lol
And then we have the proud American s saying you don't belong here!!! Do we?
God made adam and eve from soil, bacteria were made of soil. I think they were fast growing bacteria from soils. Correct me if I am wrong, just a young consfused Muslim sis here!
leah K Where did the soil come from? Bacteria have faster generational cycles......they reproduce quickly enough to allow us to actually see evolution occuring. We can even force specific evolutionary changes by applying selective pressure in the same way as “nature” would. With humanity it just happened a lot slower because we reproduce a lot slower. The average species lasts around 2-3 million years. People have only been around for a few hundred thousand years. We are a very young species.
