The tyranny of TED? TED is elitist, perpetuating the old hierarchical model of learning that a minority of people know and a majority don't.

Nous avons plus de #pouvoir que nous le pensons. Nous pouvons apprendre des mouvements qui ont eu lieu avant nous.
ChatGPT s'est formé sur mon IP... mais je n'y ai pas consenti. C'est plus qu'un vol, c'est une violation.
Mais nous, nous avons le choix. Nous savons à quoi nous tenons.
Est-ce votre cas ?"

There are all sorts of things not to like about Aaron Bastani and the Novara Media crowd, but on this fundamental issue of socialised universal basic services he's on the right track. He's talking about a social transformation, not just being a better manager of the current economy.

It's not pie in the sky utopianism either; in Britain, one can see how a push for more public and social housing could start to move us towards the 2100 Bastani envisages.

#TEDTalks | The tipping points of climate change — and where we stand

Johan Rockström: "Message one: Buckle up. We know for certain, 100 percent certainty, that this means more droughts, more floods, more heat waves, more human-reinforced storms, more disease during one generation's time. 2023, the warmest year on record, will be looked back upon as a mild year."

About the case
=============

The plaintiffs ranged in age from 9 to 20 and 10 of the children have either Black or Indigenous backgrounds.

In 2013, he and six other youths filed a lawsuit against the state government of Colorado. He was the lead plaintiff in Martinez v. Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission case.

In 2015, Martinez and 21 other youths filed a lawsuit against the US Federal government, Juliana et al. v United States et al. They argued that the federal government was denying their constitutional right to life, liberty and property by ignoring climate change.

This is about one of the many TED Talks that I used to show my classes when I taught at a community college that have turned out to fraudulent.

There is only one sentence in this interview with the debunker that I disagree with:

"Rich people do lots of exercise, have low stress and eat well."

Yes, rich people have better health and live longer, but they do no get more "exercise." This only happens if you count going to the gym as "exercise." One of the reasons that poor people don't live as long is the literal back breaking activity they have to do to survive. Almost any construction worker gets more "exercise" than any trust fund gym rat.

But otherwise his point about data keeping is probably true.
