  A comment on Talk: Alastair Parvin: Architecture for the people by the people

  Jun 1 2013: Fundamentally good. I see a lot of movements these days where we want to move to things that are bottom-up or de-centralised. People usually know what they need, let them make it.

  A comment on Talk: Matt Killingsworth: Want to be happier? Stay in the moment

  Nov 8 2012: This seems to confirm something I've learned over the last years.
  Enter social media (addictions) and things like insomnia and it makes sense to consider that worrying or seeking distractions is unfavourable over actually enjoying the moment and taking action on problems instead of worrying without doing.

• A comment on Talk: Mark Bittman: What's wrong with what we eat

  Jul 9 2012: I couldn't have put it better.
  
  I didn't grow up learning more meat makes you big and strong... not in this country. But still meat consumption is higher than is actually needed for our bodies. The west is greedy and unready to change. C'mon, together we can do it :).
  It feels so much better to be healthy, and being on meds for lifestyle diseases is not needed at all.

  Apr 12 2012: Lovely, looks like they hired Clemento of 'Macro Kingdom' on vimeo to produce/edit this. Great work.

  A comment on Talk: Andrew Stanton: The clues to a great story

  Mar 6 2012: I admire the pixar team immensely, and this just made me clap in my chair (in my room).
  
  Storytelling is one of the most important (and for me challenging things) in life, but so worthwhile.

• A comment on Talk: Award-winning teenage science in action

  Jan 10 2012: Good.
  
  And what about steaming the chicken? Or putting it (in tin foil) in the oven?

  A comment on Talk: Alexander Tsiaras: Conception to birth -- visualized

  Dec 20 2011: Marvellous is understated.
  
  My brother's wife is carrying their 3rd child now, though birth is something almost magical.
  This insight makes you appreciate life even more. Just wow, thanks for this.

• A comment on Talk: Justin Hall-Tipping: Freeing energy from the grid

  Oct 31 2011: This.... changes everything.
  
  I want these panels on my windows and and everything now.

  A comment on Talk: Sunni Brown: Doodlers, unite!

  Oct 10 2011: Couldn't agree more, it's a way of getting your mind around things, like dreaming. Processing information.
  People who are scared that it might not be a "pretty" drawing are missing the point.
  
  If you fear it at work, just call it your idea-web or something similar. You've got to visualise everything first before you can make sense of it.

  A comment on Talk: Raghava KK: Shake up your story

  Oct 3 2011: Great points, both on teaching multi-perspective views for the kids that are growing up in a increasingly global society, and art being essential to teach it.
