Tuesday 5 March 2013 - Ideas worth spreading

When I was discussing a recent post on the problems with facing too many daily decisions (read it here) with Sarah she told me that she'd seen a talk on TED about it and that I should check it out.

TED? I questioned (with the image of a life size teddy bear like in the recent Seth Macfarlane film discussing the psychology of decision making coming instantly to mind).

"You haven't heard of TED?" she asked, surprised. She described www.ted.com as a website of free talks on interesting topics by some great speakers. She also claimed it was the perfect procrastination tool from applying yourself to what you are actually supposed to be studying while at uni.

I hadn't gotten round to checking it out yet then noticed in my psychology tutorial today that the video we were watching was taken from the same website.

So I checked it out today and it is AMAZING. If you're looking for some mental stimulation, an intellectual discussion topic for a dinner date or just a better way than television to pass some time head on over to the website now and check it out.

I've found it way more interesting than the anatomy revision I'd planned to do tonight too.
