TIL I learned the difference between TED and TEDx.

TEDx events are independently organized TED-like conferences that operate under a free license granted by TED. While they follow the general principles of TED, TEDx events are planned and coordinated by volunteers at the local level, aiming to bring the TED experience to a broader audience.

My favorite Ted talk is a Tedx talk. It has has helped me and past classmates quite a lot. I still rewatch it before giving presentations.

The quality of the content sadly often matters very little in comparison to the manner of speaking and self presentation.

That's a very convincing TEDx talk. That guy surely knows his stuff, I'd go so far as to say he is a leading expert in his field.
