Well, the people that talk at TED never mention that the idea they claim to be behind the corner could actually be years and million of dollars of investments away, and therefore has a very high chance of never materializing.
- bryanrasmussen 5y agothe original TED talks I saw had people in the audience I felt were reasonably able to understand how much investment would be needed to achieve a particular idea.
- camillomiller 5y agoThen they started uploading the talks to YouTube
- bryanrasmussen 5y agowell in our present world potentially everything communicated has a global audience, but it would seem a losing strategy to try to make every prerequisite of every idea understood by everyone who might ever encounter your communication because you would never get to the idea itself but instead be stuck in one of those silly comedy routines where someone says start at the beginning and the protagonist says "so, first I was born..." on edit: in other words, just because something might end up uploaded to YouTube there's no obligation to dumb it down.
