TL,DR -- TED talks are just one part of a wider field called "creativity literature", and creativity literature is not really about teaching you to be creative.

TL,DR -- TED talks are just one part of a wider field called "creativity literature", and creativity literature is not really about teaching you to be creative. It is about blowing smoke up your ass about people who lived happily ever after, and thus triggering the same kind of response in you that insight porn does.
