Just watch this Ted Talk, I don’t even know what to say. This is so damn cool. I’ll put the short clips that the guy includes separately for you completely impatient people. But for those of you that watch the whole video… ISN’T THAT FUCKING AWESOME?!?!
Two shorter clips after the bite..
“Optimists greatly outlive pessimists.” So well said. If you haven’t heard of Ted Talks it’s time to discover the world of greater intelligence that’s out there beyond the veil of American Idol. In fact the Ted Talks are so remarkable, and such an amazingly powerful privilege to behold, that they are now getting their very own category here at ZS (such an honor I know). I’m so pumped on sharing this stuff that I’m gonna jump right into it and post one of the more dry and lengthy talks I’ve recently seen. So if you’re just skimming while waiting for your coco puffs to finish warming in the microwave, then go read about how turbofuckingawesome the newest superhero movie is. But if you share the unquenchable thirst for knowledge like I do (ADD) and are a fast learner (presentation must be insultingly short and simplified) then make sure to watch this amazing (turbofuckingawesome) presentation by Craig Venter from 2005 on the progress in genomics since Clinton got his dick wet.
NOTE: This talk is actually 17 minutes long, I only said it was short for comic effect… are your coco puffs done yet? yeah? go fuck yourself.
Thank you Kyla for that wonderful trifecta of literacy.
