    A comment on Talk: John Bohannon: Dance vs. powerpoint, a modest proposal

    Dec 8 2011: I know TED since the beginning. In fact I'm a TED translator for Brazilian Portuguese for some time and, as you can expect, I have watched a lot of talks. This is the one that touched me the most, the most persuasive and most beautifull.
    Maybe it has to do with touching both brain hemispheres at the same time, art and tech, I don't know. With this post, I just want to thank the people that worked on it so hard, and to say that, yes, you have changed the world a little bit with it. At leats for me.

    Thank you.

    A reply on Talk: Kevin Kelly: The next 5,000 days of the web

    Aug 9 2011: Yes! I use this as a classroom debate, and today I noticed it was cut to last just 2 minutes. Very curious stuff. I guess it is an error of some kind.

    A reply on Talk: Eric Berlow: Simplifying complexity

    Jan 2 2011: Hi. I think I agree with you! Once I thought there are simple structures and when many simple things come together they would become complex. But no! Complex and simple layers alternate with each other! Almost like paper and glue, like one would not existe without the other next to it.
    And that lead me to another question: is complexity just an ilusion, just a matter of my perception? I mean: is emergence really there or is it just a measure of our impossibility of grasping all aspects of a single event? Or, in other words: does "complex" and "simple" really exist or they are just a trick or our perception?
    If we were more "intelligent" maybe complexity would not be there at all...
    What do you think about this?
