In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

I love this man with all my heart, my brain, my gut... I want this to have more views than any other video on the internet. I want this to be the most shared pice of content on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and especially LinkedIn. I want this video to be the METRIC we collectively use to decide whether something is worthy of spreading through sharing. I want this to become the most sacred oath to be sworn by every single person who dares to call themselves a teacher. I want this to be the guiding tenet and mantra around which EVERY institute of higher learning uses to write its charter, and then it will be required viewing for each and every class. We should play this video so often that we as a culture can recite it without thinking, this speech should be pummeled into us in the same routine way that we like sheep all know to stand up respectfully together each morning in school and recite it just as we do with the Pledge of Allegiance. This speech should be recited by a slam poet booked to recite it just as there's a singer to lead us in the National Anthem before each and every game, match, fight, and meet held on each and every last sports field, rink, court, pool, gym, ring, studio, dojo... I want this to be a world where every 10 yr old is shown this personally by a teacher or parent or an authoritative equivalent: Can you imagine it? The doors we would have seen in life had we been given THIS to receive... And this should be the commercial before the videos on KZread when you can't hit the "Skip Ad" button.
