The program at TED has been likened to making a dinner of hors d'oeuvres or of being "brain candy" but I've always liked the way the format of the conference gave one a generous helping of topics for lively discussions at the longer-than-usual breaks.
A few presentations that stood out were:
- Ken Robinson's admonition that we needed to reorganize education around developing creativity
- Julia Sweeney's monologue on religion. If you can't wait for the TED CD or the New York show, there is a excerpt on a segment of This American Life.
- The (almost) debate between Rick Warren and Dan Dennett.
