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

  11 hours ago: People in a well-governed country fantasy the idea of no government at all (go Somali). People in a well-governed, well-designed city fantasy the idea of a "messy" city with small, self-built houses, narrow roads, lots of coffe shops, lots of trees and walking streets. I'm sure such city has its very own attractive, but not necessary ideal to make the modern city to imitate.

  A comment on Talk: Maria Bezaitis: The surprising need for strangeness

  May 15 2013: quote [Categories like "friends" and "family" and "contacts" and "colleagues" don't tell me anything about my actual relations. A more effective way to think about my relations might be in terms of closeness and distance, where at any given point in time, with any single person, I am both close and distant from that individual, all as a function of what I need to do right now.] end quote.
  
  This kind of understanding turns the relationships into a free market of selfishness: who can satisfy me the most right here, right now is the one I should do things with. Saying I should share an experience with a stranger on Facebook rather than with my father because my father has less interest in that experience and therefore cannot give me the most satisfaction is absurd.
  
  Categories like "friends" and "family" should be a weighting factor.

  May 13 2013: In the bubble of over-optimistic atmosphere that TED creates, this is a rare talk that dare to touch the harsh reality that many people will encounter in their life.
