I love Ted Talks, too. I did see the Drug Reform one. It was good.

I would enjoy Ted Talks if it was a fair forum. They really don't allow true opposition to the corporate backed line up that they present and always like to make it look like an objective forum to the masses when it truly is not. I have a long list of people they blacklisted because it was not the narrative Ted Talk is pushing.

ive watched quite a few that at least challenged current practices with health issues (be it a product or how its recycled) or even an institution that directly supports the industrial human machine :

im sure they could open it up more however many talks still exist worth tuning in to.

Ted talks are hit or miss imo. I've seen some really good and interesting stuff, but I've seen some pretty terrible ones too.

Of course, this has to be among the best TED talks ever done:
