Question: What's your favourite TED talk and why?
Mine is "The art of misdirection" by Apollo Robbins: https://www.ted.com/talks/apollo_robbins_the_art_of_misdirection
Why? Because it's awesome (you can only watch it once).

@cobradile94 Wow that's cool. Sounds like a great way (in a reasonably short time) to get lots of different and interesting ideas into your head. I might follow your example and do the same at some point. Thanks for the recommendations. The latter sounds especially interesting. · 2 years ago
I’ve actually been doing a challenge on Habitica where I watch the top 200 TED talks. I’ve watched about 100 so far, and they’re all great, and difficult to pick a favourite. My favourite might be “The orchestra inside my mouth” by Tom Thum, who explains beatboxing and shows examples. It’s amazing the sounds our mouths are truly capable of, and how little most of us take advantage of it. I also love “How Schools are killing our creativity “ by Sir Ken Robinson, he’s honestly hilarious! · 2 years ago
@mc I've just bookmarked it. I suppose I really better had get around to watching this one :) · 2 years ago

I have a hard time liking TED talks. They're great at pitching ideas, but there is no follow-through. I feel like they get you really inspired but two days later you couldn't tell what it was you were excited about. · 2 years ago
