What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
Our event is call TEDxDelMar, where x=independently organized TED event.
At our TEDxDelMar event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.
The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

    richard davis He inspired me to get my PhD In Behavioral Neuroscience(his specialty), I'm only 23 but will be getting my doctorate August 28th because I was basically put int an "interflex" program, which allowed me to do my prereqs(which my grad professors basically didn't give a shit what my grades were), I've already accepted a job as a professor at a medical school teaching anything related to the mind, mental health, neurology, neuroscience, etc, as well as pursuing grants for research of my own, but the funniest thing is the professor at the school I took a job at, the one closest to my age is 10 years older than me, most of the professors are 20 years older, some 40 years older. I got lucky to be discovered, and got lucky to be a sort of prodigy, I'm not on Rama's level yet, maybe some day, but thank you Rama, you inspired me to get my doctorate, to be on the cutting edge, be your colleague. I've met him once, he can answer ANY neuroscience question you ask and he'll answer it in depth and in a comprehensive way that is easy to understand, he's a great teacher and a true genius, original thinker, I'd call him the Einstein of Neurology/Neuroscience.

    Laughter is also a stress reliever. I took a film class in college. On one of our tests, we had to watch a segment of a comedy we and we had to answer essay questions about it. Everyone found the clip hilarious, much more humorous than the first time we saw it when we weren't taking a test. Similarly, Orwell in "A Hanging" points out how everyone was laughing and joking after it was over, not because they didn't eel for the man, Orwell clearly did, but as a relief for the stress the event produced. People tell joes to break the ice and make everyone comfortable.

    Animals do have humour! My horse definitely laughed when he had stolen a glove and made me chase him around to get it back.

    What words would match his lips? Did he say something self-deprecating about himself at the beginning? Because I would have missed that part where he presents himself as not-so-smart.

    Since you stated that Arabs are using the Indian numbers, which is correct, ssy also that the English numbers used now are Arabic numbers.

    Absolutely wrong! They're not English numbers. Have never been described as such either. The numbers were invented by Indian rishis but the Arabs then studying in India introduced them to the Europeans who called them Arabic numerals. The Arabs never mentioned the truth to the Europeans. The form of the numbers used in the West is the Arabic form, which is slightly different from the Indic form. That's all. Same for the zero, invented by Arabhatia, an Indian rishi, which was called Shoonya, meaning nothingness, one of the earliest forms of meditation.

    Now It has been shown that rats also giggle when scratched on their belly.., so his assumption that animals dont laugh is incorrect.

    Well what we think of laughter and giggle is completely different when you compare to those who deal it in neurological level

    you are using the term "giggle" overly anthropomorphically- mapping the action of the production of the sound and exhalations of the rodent onto the human behavior"
