If he indeed makes a lot of sense, then what is his point? …all what he says should be quite selfexplanatory from a logistical and industrial standpoint, but such escapes many who doesn’t know or comprehend of aforementioned things.
What I am perceiving from his presentation is don’t let going green worrying over carbon points prevent those who want simple time saving devices like the washing machine to improve their lives. I believe inasmuch as people living in ‘third world’ situations could greatly benefit from doing less laborous activities to make more time and opportunity to help educate themselves better to get out of poverty.
Perhaps this is the reason for his explanation, did you think of that?
Or is it wrong for a person who grasps things “many” don’t and has the ability to break them down and explain them to the masses, to do so? That’s what teaching is, Hex. Jesus f’ing christ.
btw Litenin’, I’d been meaning to watch this talk for a few days now. Thanks for posting it and reminding me 
Indeed, don’t see why he should spend so much time explaning it, nor that he couldn’t specify that point.
When you get invited to speak at a TED conference, Hex, let me know.
You’re welcome BlurredS. I don’t purposely search out these TED videos, but when I happen upon one that overrides the ‘PC’ box and deals with the larger picture, then I will happily post them.
That will never happen, my verbal skills suck balls.
More to the point, that will never happen because the people who are invited to speak at the TED conferences are known as outstanding in their field.
Have I claimed superiority? …no?
Blurr …why do you always come to bicker and fight, is that the only way you know of getting attention?
No, dahling. I’m perfectly capable of having a conversation without bickering and fighting. I guess you just bring out that side of me.
Shall we try to keep it intelligent or just continue the mud throwing?
Keep it intelligent? Why, so you can go on and tell every person who disagrees with you about anything that it all comes down to psychology and neurology, that they know nothing about psychology and neurology, and that they’re wrong?
This is why you bring out the bickering/fighting side of me, Hex. You don’t consider another’s thoughts and opinions. If they disagree with your own, they’re wrong, end of story. That’s not real life, Hex.
No, that is a simpleminded approach, I’m sure if you reach deep inside of youself you can actually formulate something intelligent.
Unfortunaly I’v grown tired of your puerile behaviour and just put you on ignore.
That was absolutely beautiful.
This comment is superfluous, as all I really have to say is that I got exactly the same thing out of what the speaker was saying, and I really don’t see how it could be construed as otherwise. The guy even had visual aid in the form of someone handing him books out of a washing machine to better emphasize the point – “What did we get out of this machine? Books!”
I get the feeling that this man is probably quite a good teacher, but apparently there are those incapable of opening their minds enough to learn.
Would you agree that his presentation made sense?
I do think it made sense, and I think what he had to say brought an issue that is passed over as “too large and difficult to understand” by the most people down to a relatable and easily understood level. In all seriousness, if I was able to understand what he was saying, he did a pretty damn good job of breaking it down.
