Never heard of TED Talks, so quickly looked it up online, not through Alexa. I wanted real answers to what it is, not Alexa gibberish.

This might be good, but hard to know without listening to some of it. If they are truly non-partisan, and truly scientific and not just self-help crap or pseudoscience crap. I like intellectual discussions. But in this country now we rarely have anything like that anymore. We have a History Channel on TV that doesn't show much true history. We have a Science Channel that is more pseudoscience and science fiction than anything. We have so-called reality shows on all those types of TV channels, especially the Learning Channel, and those are anything but real. They are highly scripted BS with plots I hate anyway. Would rather see history and science shows on those channels rather than that garbage. NPR is nice, but really boring much of the time. Zzzzzzzzz! So I might check out TED Talks. But not too optimistic. What many people call intellectual and stimulating I often call unintelligent and uninformed. Try living in Texas where innovative and intellectual thinking is considered a sin for which you will burn in hell! Yep, my state is close to the bottom of the trash heap when it comes to education. Good thing I broke the hold they have on so many and got a very high level of education and continue to educate myself through reading even in my old age. My hunger for knowledge is never quenched.
