And why is TED a good thing? I always felt the banner about a "collection of the world's finest minds coming under one roof" that runs at the beginning of every TED talk to be kind of unwarranted, and not in good spirit. That did put me off TED.
Where did you see that? The videos I've seen all start with "Once a year... 1000 remarkable people gather in Monterrey, California". What's wrong with that?
The only quibble I have is about whether having paid to attend qualifies one as among the thousand remarkable.
