A story of people, not of radiation: A conversation about those still living near Chernobyl and Fukushima

If your home had been devastated by a disaster, would you stay? Why do people choose to remain in potentially life-threatening places?

Yes, it takes enough time and energy to be a good person in the here and now, but we also need to start considering future generations, too. Writer Bina Venkataraman tells us how we can start acting in ways that benefit those to come. We live in a culture that encourages instant gratification, amid markets that turn on quarterly profits.

William Gibson riffs on writing and the future

Great science fiction writers don’t just imagine the future, they shape it. The idea that omnipresent social data networks would one day seem as normal as toothbrushes was a borderline-preposterous theory back in the early 1980s. Then a rookie science-fiction writer named William Gibson coined the term “cyberspace” in a short story, sparking th...

De-extinction to save a species: Stewart Brand at TED2013

Last time we saw Stewart Brand on the TED stage was in 2010, in his debate with Mark Z. Jacobson over whether the world needs nuclear energy. Brand, perhaps surprisingly, gave a passionate pro argument. But today he's here for a very different -- and potentially very controversial -- purpose. Extinction is not just death, but death for ev...

The world is an amazing place. So why aren’t we happier?

Anxiety could be the price that we have to pay for freedom, suggests psychologist Steven Pinker. When it comes to happiness, many people are underachievers. Americans are laggards among their first-world peers, and their happiness has stagnated in the era sometimes called the American Century. The Baby Boomers, despite growing up in peace and p...
