Spoken Gems

Presenting a complex topic can be tricky. What if you’d have to present something so complex that it’s beyond imagination? In this clip, Rob Bryanton tries to explain how you can imagine ten dimensions.

Richard Dawkins visited the University of Berkeley on his tour to promote his book "The God Delusion". Like always, an eloquent speech.

If you’re a religious person and easily offended, you might want to skip this one.

Please let me emphasize that I don’t want to push a message here. I included this one because Richard Dawkins has a unique and fascinating way to speak to an audience.

In my opinion, everybody should watch at least one TED talk a week. Here’s my recommendation for this week:

In this enthusiastic talk, Susan Blackmore takes the definition of "memes" to a whole new level: temes.

Who would have thought that the art of origami would someday turn out too be important. Robert Lang demonstartes in this great TED talk, that if combined with mathematics, origami can help solve real world problems.

It’s definitely not the best TED talk but still pretty solid. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi talks about the state of "flow", "a state of heightened focus and immersion". Even if you want to skip the rest of the presentation, just take a look at his last insightful slide.

At this point I want to take the time to thank the inventor of copy & paste.
