The problem I have with that criqitue is that well... it completely takes the blog post i posted out of conxtext and ignores the fact that they've hosted more then one talk on economic inequality being bad.
If they hadn't covered it before, maybe he'd have a point.
I mean... shit

TED and some of it's viewers do tend to think waaay to much of themselves and do tend to promote a fairly regular liberal agenda both socially and econonomically... which only does highlight the deficencies in the post.
Hell recently there was a release of a real eye raiser against typical TED dogma. "The demise of guys"... by Phillip Zimbardo... which is hugely anti-intenret, which is a big no-no to the common TED though perspective.
Which as a side note I'm shocked is still allowed to keep his fucking job considering since he's had all of one valuable research expierment, the rest being awful correlation = causation even when the opposite seems just as likely.
And that one valuable research expierment was like one of the least fucking ethical studies in the history of Psychology.
