What about the ones that go

I am X I'm fucking cool and X
I get Y amount of sex because I'm really good at it
All you suckers better stay back because I'm about to Z

the mark ronson ted talk is a bit like that.

For months after it came out in 1997 I thought that L.A. Confidential was a French language film called "The Confidential"

Except for the Daily Mail you kick foreigners out, in TED talks you just think "differently" or "smarter"

THINK SMART, STUPID

Aren't almost all TED talks just a bunch of total wank?

Yes. It's just marketing with the pretensions of being an academic symposium. Crucial difference: no one asks a question at TED, they all clap along like performing seals smelling their own farts.

Did you not see the TED talk about how grammar isn't necessarily anymore... It's problem solving we should be teaching... There's spell check for everything else

there was a good one about how adopting a confident posture makes you more confident and hireable

i went around posturing powerfully for days after that one

Not if you're 6 foot 4 then you look like you're going to crush your interviewer.

I watched something similar before giving a presentation in college, the day arrived and I was feeling supremely confident, got up and started presenting, within 30 seconds I came skidding to a halt before muttering another sentence then announcing I was finished. Worse still, it was a group presentation so I had to stand there like a goon for another ten minutes while everyone else aced it. Pricks.

 

[nooleen]

presentations, woo

You are making my dismissive, sweeping generalisations harder to stand by.

I don't like it.

 

[Cormcolash]

Fuck TED talks

 

[Cormcolash]

Okay, okay, so I have seen one good TED talk.
It's the one where this guy explains why TED talks are a total load of shit. It's great.
