I havent checked out Dedriods huge list for some time of consciousness vids etc but recently have been busy downloading all sorts of cool things to DVDs to watch instead of the rubbish on the tv (well apart from Top gear
which I am a new fan of lol).
I came across TED due to the Zimbardo video ... its the most brilliant resource of FREE worldclass video talks by some real stars as well as best of the not-knowns
http://www.ted.com/TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader.
The annual conference now brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).
This site makes the best talks and performances from TED available to the public, for free. More than 200 talks from our archive are now available, with more added each week. These videos are released under a Creative Commons license, so they can be freely shared and reposted.
One of my themes of late has been the cr*p we are fed my media [incidentally one TED talk about the media says that 83% of the world lives where there is no free press (not sure how that is calculated)]. Anyway free press or owned by the you know who's we are relentlessly fed a diet of tripe and complete distortion. I hope places like TED can help to feed folks nutritious input to stretch minds, entertain, educate and raise the spirit.
Another time for those who arent up to speed about making DVDs for watching on the sofa (theres a limit to how much one can watch on ones computer chair) I'll add a little something - it aint hard.
In the meantime as there is a lot of material there could EVERYONE who watches a TED video (or a youtube video or anything else) that they would recommend to others please mention it here.
