As the curator of TED for more than twenty years, Chris Anderson has seen first-hand how the world's boldest thinkers have shared their most uplifting ideas and the ways in which ideas can spread. In his recent book Infectious Generosity released earlier this week, Chris explores how simple, ordinary, and seemingly unremarkable acts of human kindness have the potential to impact the lives of millions. Today, Chris guides us in how to cultivate a generous mindset, how to embark on our own generous acts—whether gifts of money, time, talent, connection, or kindness—and how to prime them to have self-replicating (and even world-changing!) impact. My friends, whether you give with open hands or seek the inspiration to make a difference, this conversation is for you.

Tim Urban is a writer and the creative force behind the extremely popular Wait But Why blog and newsletter, which has over 600,000 subscribers. He has a book coming out in February of 2023 and has authored dozens of viral articles on subjects such as why we procrastinate, which is what we talk a lot about in today's conversation. He writes about things in psychology and politics, and he even writes about why we haven't encountered alien life forms. To say Tim has range is an understatement. He doesn't consider himself to be an expert or a guru at one thing, but he lets his curiosity wander and it takes him to all kinds of different places where he researches and writes, really in long form, articles. His email list has people like Elon Musk as subscribers, and TED Curator Chris Anderson and Twitter co-founder Evan Williams. Tim also is a speaker; he's got an incredible TED Talk that I highly recommend you check out. And, he's also known for drawing quirky graphics and stick figures, and we talk about what it's like for him to be an artist as well. So, this conversation focuses mainly on procrastination, and if you're someone who struggles with that, I know many of us do, then you're going to enjoy it.   Tim had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “I like to frame things we all experience in a way that can help clarify what's going on” (6:20). “Without being able to see the big picture, you don't realize that the best way to achieve maximum happiness this week is to do this stuff now and be miserable temporarily and then much better later” (8:40). “We get older, our bodies get older, but it's an uneven distribution of growth” (12:00). “The inner child in us is one of the best parts of grown-ups. It's what a lot of times allows us to be creative and to have fun and to be open-minded” (13:00). “The goal is to grow up in all the right ways and stay young in all the wrong ways” (13:10). “Carving out high-quality, guilt-free leisure time is very important. It recharges your willpower. It creates this healthy balance in your head” (16:15). “What I've done when I've succeeded more is often, I will do something in that moment to force future Tim's hand” (21:45). “Procrastinators get in the biggest trouble when they don't take their problem seriously” (24:00). “I had macro motivation with micro help” (27:10). “I thought I hated writing because I was doing mostly papers, and then I started blogging in 2005 as a complete procrastination side activity, just me having fun. And that's when I realized that me having fun in the form of writing was catching on” (31:40). “You need to overpower your emotions with rationality when you're looking at comments” (34:30). “If you let all of the negative comments get to you, you're going to be too scared to write anything. If you ignore all of the negative comments and say that all negative comments are just haters, now you're not going to grow or learn anything” (37:35). “I don't think the things that I produce require beautiful writing; they require good communication and authenticity” (42:15). “Keep messing around with different mediums and different things until you find areas that you're strong in, because everyone is strong in some areas” (48:15). “The best things I've written have been when I was in a mood where I felt like I was playing as I wrote it” (50:30). “If I'm having fun, it's going to produce something good” (50:45).   Additionally, you can access the Wait But Why website here, where you can find all of Tim's writing. You can also subscribe to Tim's email list on the site and follow him on Twitter.   Thank you so much to Tim for coming on the podcast! I wrote a book called “Shift Your Mind” that was released in October of 2020, and you can order it on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

현재 아프리카 전역의 마을과 도시에서는 에너지 혁명이 일어나고 있고, 기존 전력체계의 현실적인대안으로 독립형 태양 에너지가 주목받고 있습니다. 지금이 바로 중요한 도약의 순간이라고 감히 주장하는 아마르 이남다르(Amar Inamdar)에게, 자체적으로 독립형 태양에너지 기기를 만들어 사용하는 자부심이 남다른 이들의 이야기를 들어 봅니다. 그리고, 이 기술이 두 가지의 엄청난 목표: 모든 사람들에게 에너지를 공급하고 탄소 배출도 적은 미래를 만드는데 어떤 역할을 하는지 설명해 줍니다. "에너지의 소비 뿐 아니라, 모든 가정에서 에너지를 생산할 수 있는 것이 바로 에너지의 민주화죠."라고 그는 말합니다. 이어서, TED Curator 크리스 앤더슨(Chris Anderson)과의 간단한 문답이 진행됩니다.

There's an energy revolution happening in villages and towns across Africa -- off-grid solar energy is becoming a viable alternative to traditional electricity systems. In a bold talk about a true leapfrog moment, Amar Inamdar introduces us to proud owners of off-grid solar kits -- and explains how this technology has the opportunity to meet two extraordinary goals: energy access for all and a low-carbon future. "Every household a proud producer as well as consumer of energy," Inamdar says. "That's the democracy of energy." (Followed by a brief Q&A with TED Curator Chris Anderson)

Stewart Brand is a futurist, counterculturist and visionary with a very wide-ranging mind. In conversation with TED Curator Chris Anderson, Brand discusses ... just about everything: human nature, bringing back the wooly mammoth, geoengineering, rewilding and science as organized skepticism -- plus the story of an acid trip on a San Francisco rooftop in the '60s that sparked a perspective-shifting idea. "The story we're told is that we're the next meteor," Brand says, but "things are capable of getting better." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Since the widespread use of antibiotics began in the 1940s, we've tried to develop new drugs faster than bacteria can evolve -- but this strategy isn't working. Drug-resistant bacteria known as superbugs killed nearly 700,000 people last year, and by 2050 that number could be 10 million -- more than cancer kills each year. Can physics help? In a talk from the frontiers of science, radiation scientist David Brenner shares his work studying a potentially life-saving weapon: a wavelength of ultraviolet light known as far-UVC, which can kill superbugs safely, without penetrating our skin. Followed by a Q&A with TED Curator Chris Anderson. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Educator and entrepreneur Sebastian Thrun wants us to use AI to free humanity of repetitive work and unleash our creativity. In an inspiring, informative conversation with TED Curator Chris Anderson, Thrun discusses the progress of deep learning, why we shouldn't fear runaway AI and how society will be better off if dull, tedious work is done with the help of machines. "Only one percent of interesting things have been invented yet," Thrun says. "I believe all of us are insanely creative ... [AI] will empower us to turn creativity into action." Hosted on Acast.

The combined market capitalization of Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google is now equivalent to the GDP of India. How did these four companies come to infiltrate our lives so completely? In a spectacular rant, Scott Galloway shares insights and eye-opening stats about their dominance and motivation -- and what happens when a society prizes shareholder value over everything else.

Known worldwide for her courage and clarity, Christiane Amanpour has spent the past three decades interviewing business, cultural and political leaders who have shaped history. In conversation with TED Curator Chris Anderson, Amanpour discusses fake news, objectivity in journalism, the leadership vacuum in global politics and more, sharing her wisdom along the way. "Be careful where you get information from," she says. "Unless we are all engaged as global citizens who appreciate the truth, who understand science, empirical evidence and facts, then we are going to be wandering around -- to a potential catastrophe."

Tim Urban is the author of the popular blog "Wait but Why". Tim is the master of taking big — literally astronomical — questions, and bringing them back down to earth. His blog has attracted millions of readers, thousands of patrons, and famous fans like Tesla CEO Elon Musk, TED Curator Chris Anderson, and Twitter co-founder Evan Williams. Combining long-form prose with wry stick-figure illustrations, "Wait But Why" covers everything from procrastination and artificial intelligence to happiness and why we haven't yet encountered aliens.   Last month, Tim spoke to the IVY community about “The Power of Creative Thinking.” He also sat down for an in-depth discussion with IVY's Co-Founder, Beri Meric, covering topics from how to build a career doing what you love and how to find your audience on the internet; to the future of human consciousness and how to build a perfect holographic simulation of the universe.   Please enjoy our conversation with Tim Urban.

How can the US recover after the negative, partisan presidential election of 2016? Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt studies the morals that form the basis of our political choices. In conversation with TED Curator Chris Anderson, he describes the patterns of thinking and historical causes that have led to such sharp divisions in America -- and provides a vision for how the country might move forward.

Linus Torvalds transformed technology twice -- first with the Linux kernel, which helps power the Internet, and again with Git, the source code management system used by developers worldwide. In a rare interview with TED Curator Chris Anderson, Torvalds discusses with remarkable openness the personality traits that prompted his unique philosophy of work, engineering and life. "I am not a visionary, I'm an engineer," Torvalds says. "I'm perfectly happy with all the people who are walking around and just staring at the clouds ... but I'm looking at the ground, and I want to fix the pothole that's right in front of me before I fall in."

What if technology could connect us more deeply with our surroundings instead of distracting us from the real world? With the Meta 2, an augmented reality headset that makes it possible for users to see, grab and move holograms just like physical objects, Meron Gribetz hopes to extend our senses through a more natural machine. Join Gribetz as he takes the TED stage to demonstrate the reality-shifting Meta 2 for the first time. (Featuring Q&A with TED Curator Chris Anderson)
