TED is an interesting presentation of talks on a number of subjects by
recognized experts in many fields.

For those who can actually think, it's an eye opener.

The solution is simple. The poor need to work harder and the rich
should
stifle their entrepreneurial tendencies. Eventually we will reach
equilibrium. Does that work for you Krausie baby?

Sounds pretty good! I'm getting tired of 55 to 65 hr work weeks
with no vacation for the last 10 yrs.
Now, how exactly do we get the bums that hang around the marina to work?

The disclaimer on my original post said it was for those who could
actually think. It was from TED, after all. Oscar, obviously, was
reaching and, as usual, his reach exceeded his grasp.

I have watched a bunch of those talks over the he last few years.
Some that come to mind are a couple by Dan Ariely and one where guys
glide down the fiords in winged suits.
I bought Dan's book called Predictably Irrational.

The TED symposiums and presenters typically are all first-rate.
