Crime is an inevitable result of division and exclusivity through monetary means.
In this case, TED is keeping knowledge exclusive. It's a shame really. Why don't they just live broadcast the presentations to the world?
With all their presenations and lectures on benevolence and making the world a better place, why don't they share the content with the world immediately? How much better would the world be if they had access to the information at TED? There's a lot of good stuff there, why hoard it all for the intellectual and wealthy elites who are invited and can afford it?
- jonknee 18y agoNo one would go if it was all freely broadcast. If no one went it wouldn't be an event. If it wasn't an event there would be nothing to freely broadcast. Their putting hundreds of lectures up for free online is already a great deal, I don't see a need to complain.
- baddox 18y agoI'm pretty sure most of the presenters at TED haven't been keeping their ideas secret until presenting them at TED. Most of the people are prominent in their field and have surely already done a lot of publicly available work.
