TED talks are a drop-in secular replacement for revivals. That's the only reason they exist.
[thoughtful pause as I gaze at the audience]
But maybe we need secular revivals. Maybe you need a secular revival.
I think a lot of people need secular retreats more than revivals. Just a weekend of quiet contemplation, telling stories, and big feelings with people you kinda know.
some are good, but also look out for TEDx which is basically a free-for-all stuff so anyone can make a TEDx talk.
