TED

If you want to learn something, just go to TED and start watching videos. You can't go wrong.

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader.

The annual conference now brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).


Barry Schwartz on wisdom should be required viewing at school and in the workplace.

And I felt vindicated by Steven Leavitt on car seats. It's not that I'm anti-car seat or anything, but something about the way people are so fanatic about them has always made me skeptical.
