Talks like this one are going to be a real problem for TED if they don't start curating the various TEDx events. The TED brand is basically a trademark representing high quality talks. If this continues, they'll lose all their credebility. At $4000+ per ticket, we're talking about a lot of money.

- petercooper 14y agoI think that's why they're carefully branded as TEDx rather than TED. I think you're mostly right, but I also wonder if it'll lead to more people thinking 'screw it, I wanna go to the real TED and not these TEDx things anymore'.
