It's a great way to kill a couple of hours and walk away with knowledge.
Instead of killing a couple hours and all you walk away with is that damn catchy "Hide your kids, hide your wife" song.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.

I'm pretty sure he's a moderately prolific writer. But the only book, of his, that I have any personal experience with was "Monkeyluv"; which is just a collection of his older published works. So the quality was kind of mixed, from one piece to another, and a few seemed rather dated

I've watched more of those TED talk videos than I'd like to admit. 
Though.. I haven't watched as many of them as I'd like to have seen! 
They are a contender for the best, most intelligent media readily available on the internet.

Really? I would think people like you that represent this forum, i.e. mostly lazy stoner fuck offs; wouldn't care about stuff that is better then the discovery channel. Why don't you just crawl back into counterculture and posting nonsense bs like you used to.
The fact that you attempt to spread intelligent knowledge, even though not all is entirely correct, is so dramatic from the trivial games you play on a daily basis without care for anything remotely knowledgeable. Honest to god you people are too fucking stupid to watch TED.

You are most likely being mind controlled if you live in the USA. The technology was discovered back in the late 1980's. You can easily see weird towers on government buildings...

You know what's interesting? You claim to be an omnipotent being and preach your intelligence. Yet you make comments like that. Perhaps you can add some insight to the conversation? You know, when your TSL ban ends.

good one! istoner. Yeah, these are all done by some really good speakers. It's really expensive to actually go to these events but you can buy memberships for like 2500$ a year i think. it'd be fun cause you'd meet some awesome people. I read an article on the connections between ted conferences and burning man, interesting stuff.

Dr. William Li's talk about anti/angiogenesis and how cancer can be starved with food, blew my mind.
So much good information getting spread around.
