This is TEDx. I do not expect to be intellectually impressed, because I know what that tiny "x" means. On the other hand: a) I was intrigued from the beginning regarding TED's decision to allow this kind of events. I was kindof expecting it will blow in their face, sooner or later. b) I did find Powell's talk thoroughly entertaining. Now, what about the infamous Jill Bolte Taylor's stroke of insight? It overflown with neuroscience misconceptions and outdated, non-scientific metaphysics. Seeing it on TED was a genuine and huge intellectual disappointment.
