My TED Story

Attended TEDxPrague 20th November 2010, organised by Juraj jonek, Nikola Rafaj and many others. It was very good. There was simultaneous interpreting which was great.
I met other people and talked about among other things Einstein theory of Relativity and sustainable architecture. Not exactly everyday subjects!!

• A comment on Conversation: How do we accelerate the growth of non religious community?

  Nov 4 2011: Dear Shamy,
  Why would that be a good thing? Religion has been misused/ deliberately misinterptreted. Would Jesus have approved of the crusades? What would Mohammed have said about fatwas and sharia law? Surely it's not religion in itself that is the problem but rather the example that the "leaders" give to their followers.
