Thanx for the videos Ryan. My philosophy is pretty lacking. This'll help.

Also, a 2p2er recently just did a TED talk this Feb at TED2009. His name is Nate Silver, I don't know his exact 2p2 name but he got some fame from projecting the elections using some statistical models or something. Anyway, thought that was pretty cool too, I'm looking forward to seeing that as well as Tim Berners-Lee talk as well.

Worth mentioning that Silver is basically THE numbers geek in the political world right now. No one's predictions on anything from elections to congressional votes are given more credence.

"In his spare time, Silver uses his analytical approach at the poker table where he plays semi-professionally."

Re: SMP Video Collection
Sorry, I want to bump this again.
All of them are by Juan Enriquez who is presents his ideas very well.
1) Even as mega-banks topple, Juan Enriquez says the big reboot is yet to come. But don't look for it on your ballot -- or in the stock exchange. It'll come from science labs, and it promises keener bodies and minds. Our kids are going to be ... different. (Feb 2009)
http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/j...w_science.html
2) Juan Enriquez challenges our definition of bioenergy. Oil, coal, gas and other hydrocarbons are not chemical but biological products, based on plant matter -- and thus, growable. Our whole approach to fuel, he argues, needs to change. (Sept. 2007)
http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/j...ow_energy.html
3) Scientific discoveries, futurist Juan Enriquez notes, demand a shift in code, and our ability to thrive depends on our mastery of that code. Here, he applies this notion to the field of genomics. (Feb 2003)

No need to be sorry. This needs to be a sticky anyway.

Re: SMP Video Collection
Given the recent split between Religion/God/Theology from SMP, we might want to split the sticky or make this a sticky in RGT too.
