One of my favorite TEDs, nice work! Great topic. I have experience in the world of aviation and specifically, air traffic control. I can completely concur that many are high sensation seeking. It's a rush!

Oh ya
Cool it down
lmao, best presenter xx
I like the talk, but I wonder if the concluding remarks follow from what was theretofore unfurled. Doesn't this bio-mechanistic picture of Inter-individual differences stand for the incommensurability of our respective experiences ?
