1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,778
(Cory Doctorow) Thank you very much

2
00:00:01,066 --> 00:00:05,420
So I'd like to start with something of a
benediction or permission.

3
00:00:05,420 --> 00:00:07,740
I am one of nature's fast talkers

4
00:00:07,740 --> 00:00:10,620
and many of you are not 
native English speakers, or

5
00:00:10,620 --> 00:00:12,919
maybe not accustomed 
to my harsh Canadian accent

6
00:00:12,919 --> 00:00:15,919
in addition I've just come in 
from Australia

7
00:00:15,919 --> 00:00:19,166
and so like many of you I am horribly
jetlagged and have drunkenough coffee

8
00:00:19,166 --> 00:00:20,736
this morning to kill a rhino.

9
00:00:22,112 --> 00:00:23,587
When I used to be at the United Nations

10
00:00:23,587 --> 00:00:27,023
I was known as the scourge of the
simultaneous translation core

11
00:00:27,157 --> 00:00:29,528
I would stand up and speak 
as slowly as I could

12
00:00:29,576 --> 00:00:32,229
and turn around, and there they
would be in their boots doing this

13
00:00:32,229 --> 00:00:35,136
(laughter)
When I start to speak too fast,

14
00:00:35,136 --> 00:00:37,557
this is the universal symbol --
my wife invented it --

15
00:00:37,557 --> 00:00:41,518
for "Cory, you are talking too fast".
Please, don't be shy.

16
00:00:42,078 --> 00:00:45,790
So, I'm a parent , like many of you 
and I'm like I'm sure all of you

17
00:00:45,790 --> 00:00:48,850
who are parents, parenting takes my ass 
all the time.

18
00:00:50,030 --> 00:00:54,820
And there are many regrets I have
about the mere seven and half years

19
00:00:54,820 --> 00:00:57,284
that I've been a parent 
but none ares so keenly felt

20
00:00:57,784 --> 00:01:00,878
as my regrets over what's happened 
when I've been wandering

21
00:01:00,878 --> 00:01:04,766
around the house and seen my
daughter working on something

22
00:01:04,766 --> 00:01:08,697
that was beyond her abilities, that was 
right at the edge of what she could do

23
00:01:08,697 --> 00:01:12,759
and where she was doing something 
that she didn't have competence in yet

24
00:01:12,759 --> 00:01:17,019
and you know it's that amazing thing 
to see that frowning concentration,

25
00:01:17,019 --> 00:01:20,038
tongue stuck out: as a parent, your
heart swells with pride

26
00:01:20,038 --> 00:01:21,332
and you can't help but go over

27
00:01:21,332 --> 00:01:23,280
and sort of peer over their shoulder
what they are doing

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and those of you who are parents 
know it happens.
