    Found this guy and his delivery contemptible. Like everything I’ve ever seen from TED. Even when some of the material is worth mulling over, it’s not much or often. The selection is of people seemingly chosen for how smug and superior they play to a chosen auditorium of nerds, all members of the choir. Include me out.

    That’s odd (edit: by which I mean the part about his delivery).  I first heard it as an MP3 from HPR.  He reminded me of Shelley Berman.

    (More edit)

    I do not frequent TED, but on recommendations from others I have watched two items there that were both worth the time.

    I would hesitate to condemn an entire newspaper because it carries hate-mongering say-anything tools such as Charles Krauthammer and Cal Thomas.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
