Bring TED to the classroom with TED-Ed Clubs

  • 0:04 - 0:06
    These are sounds.
  • 0:06 - 0:08
    Sounds are our way
    of communication.
  • 0:08 - 0:09
    Our way of understanding.
  • 0:09 - 0:11
    Have you ever thought
  • 0:11 - 0:13
    that your voice
    sounds much better in the bath?
  • 0:13 - 0:16
    What is the extent of teachers' rights?
  • 0:16 - 0:19
    What if you could become something like
    an animal? Is that possible?
  • 0:20 - 0:23
    What separates those who primarily
    have an idea
  • 0:23 - 0:26
    and those who want to bring it to life
    is simple.
  • 0:26 - 0:31
    A society assumes that that is the story
    of every black man walking the Earth.
  • 0:31 - 0:34
    It is assumed that that is my story,
    before I even begin to tell it.
  • 0:34 - 0:38
    Because everything I've just told you
    so far is a lie and I just made it all up.
  • 0:38 - 0:41
    My talk is actually about the art of lying
    and convincing people
  • 0:41 - 0:43
    that what you're saying is true.
  • 0:43 - 0:46
    We've developed technologies to give
    ourselves more and more pleasure.
  • 0:46 - 0:50
    We're turning into a world like
    the "Brave New World" of Aldous Huxley .
  • 1:07 - 1:09
    This is Ted-ED and this is what we do.
