Dear 100 Hour Board,
What are your favorite TED talks?
-a fan, who is tired of being stuck at home
Dear TirED,
If it of interest to you, there was an answer previous where we gave our favorite BYU speeches and I gave a big list of mine, so I'll link that here.
Now for TED talks. Here is my top 5 list:
Embrace the Shake | Phil Hansen
Every kid needs a champion | Rita Pierson
Failing at Normal: An ADHD Success Story | Jessica McCabe
The nightmare videos of childrens' YouTube — and what's wrong with the internet today | James Bridle
So You Want To Be A YouTuber? | Sabrina Cruz
Also, not a TED talk, but this talk by Hans Rosling on ending poverty is great
Here are my less favorite, but ones that I would highly recommend:
Waking up as a meme-hero | Andras Arato
Mathematics is the sense you never knew you had | Eddie Woo
Which country does the most good for the world? | Simon Anholt
How not to be ignorant about the world | Hans and Ola Rosling (all Hans Rosling stuff is great)
How movies teach manhood | Colin Stokes
How craving attention makes you less creative | Joseph Gordon-Levitt
People that I liked before their TED talk, and gave a good one:
James Acaster | People Are Not A Fruit - Perception | Dave TALKS - A spoof Ted Talk
The Super Mario Effect - Tricking Your Brain into Learning More | Mark Rober
Nerdcore comedy | Ze Frank (also know as the "True Facts about the ________" guy)
Enjoy!
