1
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:14,910
Don't worry. Don't worry.

2
00:00:14,911 --> 00:00:16,140
I know, it's hard to listen to me.

3
00:00:16,140 --> 00:00:19,277
You all look like: We don't want 
to learn anything else!

4
00:00:19,958 --> 00:00:22,370
Don't worry.

5
00:00:22,370 --> 00:00:24,928
My talk doesn't have
any kind of useful information.

6
00:00:26,288 --> 00:00:30,848
I'm committed to not giving any da...

7
00:00:31,158 --> 00:00:32,191
Audience: ...ta.

8
00:00:32,191 --> 00:00:33,580
Very Good!

9
00:00:33,940 --> 00:00:36,089
I just want to make you laugh for a wh...

10
00:00:36,219 --> 00:00:37,141
Audience: ...ile.

11
00:00:37,141 --> 00:00:39,320
I feel like Magdalena Fleitas.

12
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,533
No, not kidding.

13
00:00:41,533 --> 00:00:47,038
I don't know if you lived this as I did
but along the day

14
00:00:47,038 --> 00:00:51,144
something happened to me
and that's the shift of focus

15
00:00:51,144 --> 00:00:53,869
of many ideas and preconceptions
I had before.

16
00:00:53,869 --> 00:00:57,012
I believe that is the common thread
of the day:

17
00:00:57,012 --> 00:00:59,038
the perspective shift;

18
00:00:59,038 --> 00:01:00,168
to shift the focus.

19
00:01:00,168 --> 00:01:02,660
I believe all the speakers,
over all the talks,

20
00:01:02,660 --> 00:01:04,435
made their best, did a great job

21
00:01:04,435 --> 00:01:07,063
to challenge our perspective
in different aspects.

22
00:01:07,133 --> 00:01:10,544
Like Juli Garbulsky, 
just graduated from high school,

23
00:01:10,614 --> 00:01:12,638
he could put into words

24
00:01:12,638 --> 00:01:17,072
something we all think about
schools and the education system.

25
00:01:17,072 --> 00:01:20,714
I believe we could relate
to his suffering,

26
00:01:20,714 --> 00:01:23,096
we were mirrored in his helplessness

27
00:01:23,096 --> 00:01:26,963
for being in an institution
trying to get out of it,

28
00:01:26,963 --> 00:01:28,247
anxious to leave.

29
00:01:28,337 --> 00:01:31,762
And we all said "Poor Juli,"
until Andrea Casamento appeared

30
00:01:31,762 --> 00:01:33,553
and she said her son was put in jail

31
00:01:33,553 --> 00:01:36,031
with no reason and it was like
"Get out, Juli."

32
00:01:36,031 --> 00:01:37,371
(Laughter)

33
00:01:37,371 --> 00:01:39,774
As a kid, he drew on the wall at home.

34
00:01:39,774 --> 00:01:43,353
He drew himself in jail 
dreaming about planes.

35
00:01:43,353 --> 00:01:45,577
And Andrea says: 
Do you want to know about prison?

36
00:01:45,577 --> 00:01:49,251
Come and have a coffee at Serrano square

37
00:01:49,251 --> 00:01:50,764
and you'll see what prison is.

38
00:01:51,024 --> 00:01:52,314
Do you like planes?

39
00:01:52,314 --> 00:01:54,790
Come to Ezeiza and you'll see 
the little planes.

40
00:01:55,137 --> 00:01:59,657
(Applause)

41
00:02:01,857 --> 00:02:04,491
Juli liked the Mathematical Olympiads 
at school.

42
00:02:04,491 --> 00:02:07,042
Do you know about Mathematical Olympiads
in prison?

43
00:02:07,632 --> 00:02:08,862
Got a pair of sneakers?

44
00:02:08,862 --> 00:02:11,084
Give it to me. How many left?

45
00:02:11,747 --> 00:02:13,603
Good at Mathematics.

46
00:02:13,653 --> 00:02:15,396
Want to know how many coins are there?

47
00:02:15,396 --> 00:02:17,341
Get this, get out of here, kiddo.

48
00:02:17,421 --> 00:02:18,461
Are you uneasy?

49
00:02:18,461 --> 00:02:20,991
Go run in sandals
like Jorge Drexler's marathonist,

50
00:02:21,016 --> 00:02:22,770
and see if you are uncomfortable.

51
00:02:23,889 --> 00:02:26,105
Juli didn't like the way
he learned at school.

52
00:02:26,695 --> 00:02:27,939
What about prison?

53
00:02:27,939 --> 00:02:30,913
You learn like
in Magdalenas Fleitas' classes.

54
00:02:31,163 --> 00:02:32,923
All sing together.

55
00:02:32,923 --> 00:02:34,752
Give me the nine c...

56
00:02:35,052 --> 00:02:36,473
Audience: ...oins

57
00:02:37,083 --> 00:02:39,210
Get out of he...

58
00:02:39,410 --> 00:02:41,371
Audience: ...re

59
00:02:42,671 --> 00:02:45,137
Forget about the snea...

60
00:02:45,317 --> 00:02:46,414
Audience: ...kers.

61
00:02:46,484 --> 00:02:48,529
You have to start from the bo...

62
00:02:48,629 --> 00:02:49,239
Audience: ...ttom.

63
00:02:49,239 --> 00:02:51,161
Or I slap your f...

64
00:02:51,421 --> 00:02:52,041
Audience: ...ace.

65
00:02:52,041 --> 00:02:53,906
Good, all ready for prison.

66
00:02:53,906 --> 00:02:56,016
Congratulations. You can learn.

67
00:02:56,196 --> 00:02:57,452
Then, Pepe appeared.

68
00:02:57,652 --> 00:03:00,665
Pepe Menéndez right from Spain

69
00:03:00,865 --> 00:03:03,987
to change schools, to Juli's delight.

70
00:03:03,987 --> 00:03:07,719
He said that one of his students set out:

71
00:03:07,889 --> 00:03:13,873
how can exploitation
in child labor exist?

72
00:03:14,364 --> 00:03:17,909
And I say, we know the answer,
it sucks but we know it:

73
00:03:17,909 --> 00:03:21,086
kids are cheap and take up little space.

74
00:03:21,226 --> 00:03:22,824
Because they are small.

75
00:03:23,004 --> 00:03:24,833
It sucks, I know it sucks,

76
00:03:24,833 --> 00:03:26,880
but we aren't for silly questions, dear.

77
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,640
(Laughter)

78
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:30,938
And also, at least, nowadays,

79
00:03:30,938 --> 00:03:32,803
kids make sneakers, iPhones.

80
00:03:32,803 --> 00:03:34,749
When I was a kid, I had to make

81
00:03:34,749 --> 00:03:37,314
portraits, pencil holders, far from that.

82
00:03:37,404 --> 00:03:39,472
Every Mother's day, Father's day,

83
00:03:39,472 --> 00:03:40,777
no holidays

84
00:03:40,867 --> 00:03:43,936
and no contributions, anything.

85
00:03:43,936 --> 00:03:45,616
Shift of focus.

86
00:03:45,616 --> 00:03:47,803
(Laughter)

87
00:03:47,803 --> 00:03:49,366
Another one changing education,

88
00:03:49,366 --> 00:03:51,692
in this case in Ecuador, was Gloria Vidal.

89
00:03:51,692 --> 00:03:55,964
Gloria Vidal said people asked for work

90
00:03:55,964 --> 00:03:58,734
even as a teacher in Ecuador.

91
00:03:58,734 --> 00:04:00,659
Terrible, even as a teacher.

92
00:04:00,659 --> 00:04:04,331
Terrible, it meant the lowest position
in the socioeconomic level.

93
00:04:04,331 --> 00:04:08,155
In Ecuador, being a teacher is an insult.

94
00:04:08,155 --> 00:04:11,205
But the awful part is 
when she says that public education

95
00:04:11,205 --> 00:04:13,143
was privatized at a certain moment.

96
00:04:13,143 --> 00:04:16,432
And a voluntary contribution
had to be paid.

97
00:04:16,432 --> 00:04:18,493
A voluntary contribution!

98
00:04:18,493 --> 00:04:22,440
That is, if you want to, you have to pay,
if not, don't come to this school.

99
00:04:22,499 --> 00:04:23,884
That sucks.

100
00:04:23,884 --> 00:04:26,426
Like "car guards" that say:
"50 pesos, voluntarily."

101
00:04:26,426 --> 00:04:27,792
It's an oxymoron.

102
00:04:27,792 --> 00:04:29,406
"50 pesos voluntarily?

103
00:04:29,446 --> 00:04:31,448
Yes, here you have, master.

104
00:04:31,752 --> 00:04:34,752
(Laughter)

105
00:04:34,855 --> 00:04:38,645
(Applause)

106
00:04:40,646 --> 00:04:42,439
Gloria says that is good advise

107
00:04:42,439 --> 00:04:45,476
to accept challenges and answer the calls.

108
00:04:45,616 --> 00:04:47,922
And Andrea says mainly
if they are collect calls

109
00:04:47,922 --> 00:04:50,305
from your son from prison,
don't make him hold on.

110
00:04:51,545 --> 00:04:53,455
Then it was the turn of Teresa Punta,

111
00:04:53,455 --> 00:04:56,734
in case five talks about education
weren't enough,

112
00:04:57,984 --> 00:05:00,127
we're going to listen to a sixth one.

113
00:05:01,067 --> 00:05:03,353
Teresa Punta, who gave 
a beautiful talk as well.

114
00:05:03,353 --> 00:05:06,470
Who talked about how her son
who behaved badly at school,

115
00:05:06,610 --> 00:05:09,473
had a teacher who, instead of 
excluding him, integrated him,

116
00:05:09,473 --> 00:05:11,948
gave him extracurricular activities

117
00:05:12,008 --> 00:05:14,900
and now, he teaches kids
who misbehave at school.

118
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,162
And she also talked about Ayrton.

119
00:05:17,162 --> 00:05:18,755
Ayrton could only pay attention

120
00:05:18,755 --> 00:05:21,261
for 45 minutes periods.

121
00:05:21,501 --> 00:05:22,589
The same with me

122
00:05:22,649 --> 00:05:24,146
and it's just time in this talk

123
00:05:24,226 --> 00:05:25,871
so I don't have a joke with Teresa.

124
00:05:26,001 --> 00:05:27,257
So sorry.

125
00:05:27,427 --> 00:05:30,470
Anyway, I didn't worry because 
then we had Diego Gutnisky

126
00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:36,285
and he said we're about to get knowledge
put straight into our neurons.

127
00:05:37,041 --> 00:05:41,366
And I say, you made me listen to
six talks about education...

128
00:05:41,366 --> 00:05:43,016
(Laughter)

129
00:05:43,016 --> 00:05:44,950
the shift of focus

130
00:05:44,950 --> 00:05:46,745
should have been before that,
I believe so.

131
00:05:47,145 --> 00:05:49,511
I would have woken up at noon...

132
00:05:53,331 --> 00:05:54,517
How do they work?

133
00:05:54,517 --> 00:05:55,517
Like a flash drive.

134
00:05:55,517 --> 00:05:58,483
I don't know where they put the USB
to enter the information.

135
00:05:59,193 --> 00:06:01,168
In the armpit, don't know.

136
00:06:01,848 --> 00:06:03,869
Cool because they put it
and it's like zoom!

137
00:06:03,869 --> 00:06:05,389
Because they can put data

138
00:06:05,389 --> 00:06:06,713
but also what they want.

139
00:06:06,783 --> 00:06:08,643
They can put advertisement, spam.

140
00:06:08,953 --> 00:06:12,400
Have to be careful there... zoom!

141
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,459
Oh! I know integrals and derivatives

142
00:06:14,589 --> 00:06:17,093
but I want to eat something now,
don't know what.

143
00:06:17,543 --> 00:06:19,963
pate, mackerel, rice, peas.

144
00:06:19,963 --> 00:06:23,885
I don't know. Sardine,
tuna, corn, lentils.

145
00:06:24,765 --> 00:06:27,561
Something that spices up my life,

146
00:06:27,561 --> 00:06:30,079
from the moment I wake up.

147
00:06:31,498 --> 00:06:34,498
(Applause)

148
00:06:35,175 --> 00:06:36,405
And Diego also said

149
00:06:36,405 --> 00:06:39,278
that each neuron respects its labor union.

150
00:06:39,278 --> 00:06:41,107
Each neuron has a union and obeys it.

151
00:06:41,107 --> 00:06:43,004
That's why a study says

152
00:06:43,004 --> 00:06:45,818
a stroke is just a pair of neurons 
picketing,

153
00:06:45,818 --> 00:06:47,981
setting on fire a pair of mitochondria

154
00:06:48,316 --> 00:06:50,039
and the other neurons horn blowing

155
00:06:50,059 --> 00:06:51,964
and yelling: "Hey! I'm late for work."

156
00:06:51,964 --> 00:06:54,284
(Laughter)

157
00:06:54,284 --> 00:06:56,587
In Argentina we must have
some neurons missing

158
00:06:56,787 --> 00:06:59,086
because see how crazy we must be

159
00:06:59,286 --> 00:07:01,344
that the talk about traffic

160
00:07:01,344 --> 00:07:03,920
had to be done by a specialist 
in psychiatry.

161
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,975
Do we really need a psychiatrist 
to talk about how we drive?

162
00:07:11,667 --> 00:07:14,341
I picture José Nesis

163
00:07:14,351 --> 00:07:18,727
analyzing the average Argentine driver:

164
00:07:18,727 --> 00:07:21,642
Isn't that honk the expression

165
00:07:21,642 --> 00:07:24,975
of your frustration for not wanting 
to go to your work?

166
00:07:24,975 --> 00:07:27,611
Isn't that honk your 
restricted dreams' projection

167
00:07:27,611 --> 00:07:30,836
for having to make 40 coffees 
to your nasty boss?

168
00:07:30,836 --> 00:07:32,766
(Laughter)

169
00:07:33,486 --> 00:07:35,320
Maybe you think you committed

170
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,287
a parking infraction and end up realizing

171
00:07:37,287 --> 00:07:39,266
you want to bang your mother.

172
00:07:39,336 --> 00:07:42,793
It's much deeper than we thought.

173
00:07:43,193 --> 00:07:44,633
What José says is really good,

174
00:07:44,633 --> 00:07:47,926
we have to start respecting ourselves

175
00:07:47,926 --> 00:07:49,536
when we drive, now.

176
00:07:49,536 --> 00:07:51,356
We don't have to wait for smart cars

177
00:07:51,356 --> 00:07:52,725
because we have a lot ahead.

178
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,552
In fact, to me,

179
00:07:54,552 --> 00:07:56,737
a car will start being considered smart,

180
00:07:56,887 --> 00:07:58,631
every time you honk a girl

181
00:07:58,631 --> 00:07:59,951
a hand from the airbag

182
00:07:59,951 --> 00:08:01,643
will slap you for being a jerk.

183
00:08:02,063 --> 00:08:03,470
I think there we might--

184
00:08:03,470 --> 00:08:07,000
(Applause)

185
00:08:08,276 --> 00:08:09,917
We honk for everything.

186
00:08:09,917 --> 00:08:11,505
What the heck is wrong with us?

187
00:08:11,505 --> 00:08:12,225
Everything.

188
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:14,261
There are people who still think

189
00:08:14,261 --> 00:08:17,225
a traffic jam can be solved with a honk.

190
00:08:17,225 --> 00:08:19,804
Do you think the ones ahead 
are going to disintegrate

191
00:08:19,804 --> 00:08:21,477
just because you honk?

192
00:08:22,517 --> 00:08:23,767
We honk for everything.

193
00:08:23,767 --> 00:08:28,088
A study says we honk, 
most of the people honk,

194
00:08:28,088 --> 00:08:31,830
because we are afraid of getting late
to places, above all, work.

195
00:08:31,981 --> 00:08:34,105
Hypothesis refuted by taxi drivers,

196
00:08:34,106 --> 00:08:38,553
the ones who honk the most
and already arrived at their work.

197
00:08:39,133 --> 00:08:41,658
I don't know where they want to go,
really.

198
00:08:41,658 --> 00:08:43,238
(Laughter)

199
00:08:43,238 --> 00:08:46,075
A lot, a lot ahead for smart cars.

200
00:08:46,075 --> 00:08:47,628
We have to be smart first.

201
00:08:47,628 --> 00:08:49,108
Then, we can start developing

202
00:08:49,108 --> 00:08:50,901
artificial intelligence,

203
00:08:50,901 --> 00:08:52,583
as Diego Fernández Slezak stated,

204
00:08:52,613 --> 00:08:55,024
who says has a PhD in Computer Science

205
00:08:55,024 --> 00:08:58,340
and got a PhD by accident.

206
00:08:58,650 --> 00:09:00,790
What? By accident!

207
00:09:00,950 --> 00:09:02,420
I had a skull fissure as a kid

208
00:09:02,420 --> 00:09:06,385
against a pot by accident
and I don't have a PhD.

209
00:09:06,595 --> 00:09:08,367
I would say all the opposite.

210
00:09:08,367 --> 00:09:11,310
Maybe, by accident you can be a comedian.

211
00:09:11,510 --> 00:09:13,495
You can be one-armed by accident.

212
00:09:13,495 --> 00:09:16,699
A father, if you want to, 
but a PhD, first time ever.

213
00:09:16,824 --> 00:09:19,824
(Applause)

214
00:09:23,253 --> 00:09:24,413
I like it as Diego says:

215
00:09:24,413 --> 00:09:25,703
There will be AI

216
00:09:25,703 --> 00:09:28,139
because in Terminator,
they said there would AI--

217
00:09:28,139 --> 00:09:29,557
What is he saying?

218
00:09:29,607 --> 00:09:31,788
You are a scientist, a PhD.

219
00:09:32,028 --> 00:09:35,241
I say it's kind of risky
to be based on fiction

220
00:09:35,241 --> 00:09:36,892
to predict the future.

221
00:09:36,892 --> 00:09:39,807
Because Alf already predicted
there's life in other planets

222
00:09:39,807 --> 00:09:42,441
and they eat cats.

223
00:09:42,761 --> 00:09:46,394
And Police Academy foresaw
an official can be such a jerk

224
00:09:46,394 --> 00:09:48,841
to put in prison a boy
who didn't do anything,

225
00:09:48,841 --> 00:09:51,141
he was at a café at Serrano Square,
that's it.

226
00:09:51,141 --> 00:09:52,741
(Applause)

227
00:09:56,481 --> 00:10:00,722
Diego says that computers
are more sharpie.

228
00:10:00,722 --> 00:10:07,209
They diagnose patients only
based on their clinical record.

229
00:10:07,359 --> 00:10:09,905
They say they beat us at Chess
for a long time.

230
00:10:09,905 --> 00:10:12,252
Here, there's a very interesting
shift of focus.

231
00:10:12,252 --> 00:10:16,596
So, with my brother Joan,
thanks to TEDxRíodelaPlata production,

232
00:10:16,596 --> 00:10:19,182
we did a research.

233
00:10:19,212 --> 00:10:20,953
A thorough experiment

234
00:10:20,953 --> 00:10:25,023
to see other disciplines 
where computers can beat us.

235
00:10:28,876 --> 00:10:31,453
Soccer is their weakness.

236
00:10:35,723 --> 00:10:36,844
Unperturbed.

237
00:10:36,844 --> 00:10:39,488
There I missed it 
but it was my lack of expertise.

238
00:10:40,238 --> 00:10:42,133
It didn't move at any moment.

239
00:10:42,793 --> 00:10:44,319
I'm celebrating a goal, yes.

240
00:10:44,509 --> 00:10:47,691
It's not recorded but there
a nurse took me by the hand,

241
00:10:47,691 --> 00:10:50,988
did the doping test
and saw a picket in the neuron.

242
00:10:52,677 --> 00:10:56,424
Then, the antivirus was updated,
but it couldn't be protected

243
00:10:56,424 --> 00:10:58,094
even from a right jab.

244
00:10:58,364 --> 00:11:01,405
In chess they can beat us,
but not at boxing yet.

245
00:11:03,395 --> 00:11:05,239
I'm so proud of this video.

246
00:11:07,383 --> 00:11:12,427
And it diagnoses tennis elbow,
but it can't hit back a ball.

247
00:11:13,917 --> 00:11:15,427
(Laughter)

248
00:11:15,517 --> 00:11:17,210
I tried. I pitched slowly.

249
00:11:17,210 --> 00:11:20,829
I pitched from the left, right,
with a backhand stroke.

250
00:11:20,829 --> 00:11:23,763
There it hit back, but very slowly.

251
00:11:24,793 --> 00:11:27,295
I got mad. Smash.

252
00:11:27,995 --> 00:11:29,820
Obviously celebrating

253
00:11:29,820 --> 00:11:34,083
because mankind won over computers.

254
00:11:35,436 --> 00:11:38,436
(Applause)

255
00:11:39,915 --> 00:11:42,962
I'm glad you take it as seriously
as it deserves.

256
00:11:43,962 --> 00:11:45,799
But he says computers are smart,

257
00:11:45,799 --> 00:11:49,196
and that artificial intelligence
is threatening us. I don't know,

258
00:11:49,196 --> 00:11:51,701
until a computer or mobile
needs to be charged

259
00:11:51,701 --> 00:11:55,090
every 12 hours at least,

260
00:11:55,210 --> 00:11:57,155
I won't feel threatened at all.

261
00:11:57,155 --> 00:12:00,662
But I rely on Victoria Flexer,

262
00:12:00,762 --> 00:12:03,672
who's at la Puna with lithium and brine.

263
00:12:03,972 --> 00:12:05,409
Which I thought were useful

264
00:12:05,509 --> 00:12:07,538
for preserving olives.

265
00:12:07,838 --> 00:12:10,210
But she took it to another level

266
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:12,450
making batteries for an entire nation.

267
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,853
More useful than with olives.

268
00:12:14,853 --> 00:12:17,448
She says brines are 10 times saltier

269
00:12:17,448 --> 00:12:19,523
than sea water in Mar del Plata

270
00:12:19,553 --> 00:12:23,058
but not as salty --expensive-- as the rent
in the second half of January.

271
00:12:23,058 --> 00:12:24,458
(Laughter)

272
00:12:25,118 --> 00:12:29,072
I obeyed and now carry with me 
two packets of salt.

273
00:12:29,272 --> 00:12:31,307
So if I run out of battery
in my mobile,

274
00:12:31,307 --> 00:12:33,050
I throw a little salt on top.

275
00:12:33,310 --> 00:12:35,680
The bad news is: it doesn't work.

276
00:12:35,820 --> 00:12:37,617
The good news:

277
00:12:37,677 --> 00:12:40,566
I thought about a cool name
for her talk,

278
00:12:40,566 --> 00:12:44,372
I mean, salt generating power
salt-generated power.

279
00:12:44,412 --> 00:12:47,917
"Hyper-tension." She missed it.

280
00:12:48,257 --> 00:12:50,971
She didn't see it. I stole it from her.

281
00:12:51,221 --> 00:12:54,050
(Applause)

282
00:12:54,910 --> 00:12:57,793
The one who actually saw things
was Gerónimo Villanueva,

283
00:12:57,793 --> 00:12:59,585
who works in the NASA, got him?

284
00:13:00,155 --> 00:13:03,280
Who boasts around about his telescope...

285
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,720
(Laughter)

286
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,010
Galileo Galilei from Lanus, come on!

287
00:13:07,404 --> 00:13:12,124
He has a great telescope
but ultimately didn't say much.

288
00:13:12,214 --> 00:13:15,106
He says he saw methane.

289
00:13:16,946 --> 00:13:20,006
I mean... I don't know how.

290
00:13:20,376 --> 00:13:23,750
He discovered that, apparently,

291
00:13:24,660 --> 00:13:27,906
without jumping to conclusions,

292
00:13:27,906 --> 00:13:33,403
if his estimates after 5 years
are right, in Mars,

293
00:13:33,403 --> 00:13:36,615
someone or something would have...

294
00:13:37,115 --> 00:13:38,965
farted?

295
00:13:38,965 --> 00:13:40,835
(Laughter)

296
00:13:40,835 --> 00:13:44,043
Is that what he said?
Did he talk about flatulence?

297
00:13:44,243 --> 00:13:46,508
(Applause)

298
00:13:46,508 --> 00:13:49,168
When someone from the NASA came here

299
00:13:49,168 --> 00:13:51,115
I thought he'd talk about other rockets.

300
00:13:51,385 --> 00:13:52,807
Fanaticism.

301
00:13:52,857 --> 00:13:54,902
That started with a friend and a lighter.

302
00:13:54,932 --> 00:13:58,464
He says: now I'm going to give meaning
to my career,

303
00:13:58,464 --> 00:13:59,740
my life has a purpose,

304
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,976
will there be farts in another planet?

305
00:14:02,046 --> 00:14:02,763
(Laughter)

306
00:14:02,803 --> 00:14:04,627
He's the best.

307
00:14:04,627 --> 00:14:07,225
And was hired at the NASA!

308
00:14:08,115 --> 00:14:13,994
Incredible, but don't underestimate him.

309
00:14:14,194 --> 00:14:17,587
He rocks. They were gases
but very far away...

310
00:14:17,947 --> 00:14:20,912
In my building's consortium
they are still arguing about

311
00:14:21,002 --> 00:14:22,956
who farted in the elevator.

312
00:14:22,956 --> 00:14:24,785
Was it Irma or Jorge?

313
00:14:24,825 --> 00:14:26,762
I know it was her,
she lives next door,

314
00:14:26,762 --> 00:14:29,873
I smell what she cooks,
it was her harvest.

315
00:14:29,873 --> 00:14:32,043
(Laughter)

316
00:14:32,433 --> 00:14:34,952
Well, I joke about farts
and he is the one at the NASA

317
00:14:34,952 --> 00:14:36,387
Please, allow me this.

318
00:14:37,197 --> 00:14:39,602
And I don't totally agree with
Daniel Schteingart.

319
00:14:39,602 --> 00:14:42,834
He talked about data.

320
00:14:43,244 --> 00:14:46,319
He says losing an argument is winning.

321
00:14:46,619 --> 00:14:49,846
I say "no," he says "yes."

322
00:14:49,846 --> 00:14:53,527
No. Losing an argument is losing.

323
00:14:53,527 --> 00:14:55,842
Lose $ 100 and you won't see $ 200
in your account.

324
00:14:56,062 --> 00:14:59,317
You can learn something, but you lost.

325
00:14:59,317 --> 00:15:00,886
Don't talk to me about paradoxes.

326
00:15:00,886 --> 00:15:04,582
This is science, TEDxRíodelaPlata.

327
00:15:07,202 --> 00:15:10,554
And another thing I didn't like was that 
he argued a lot with his dad.

328
00:15:10,754 --> 00:15:14,537
They argue a lot, but when they do
they stop for a while

329
00:15:14,727 --> 00:15:17,905
have some rest, have a shower
then argue again.

330
00:15:17,905 --> 00:15:21,167
I mean, how much information do you need
to notice that's weird?

331
00:15:21,167 --> 00:15:26,484
Taking a shower with your dad
because you're arguing?

332
00:15:28,634 --> 00:15:31,825
Who really raised her kids well,
unlike his dad, is Melina Furman.

333
00:15:31,825 --> 00:15:35,792
She raised and educated her children well.

334
00:15:35,822 --> 00:15:39,248
Instead of answering their questions
immediately, she makes them research,

335
00:15:39,348 --> 00:15:40,992
find their own answers.

336
00:15:41,292 --> 00:15:44,235
As in the worms, she unburied them,
made them run.

337
00:15:44,435 --> 00:15:47,766
It might sound pedagogical 
but it's somewhat cruel.

338
00:15:47,966 --> 00:15:51,397
I mean, Meli, would you like it
if giant worms came here

339
00:15:51,597 --> 00:15:53,439
dig you up and make you run races?

340
00:15:53,439 --> 00:15:54,649
And they ask their mom:

341
00:15:54,649 --> 00:15:57,462
Why human beings still crash 
in the corners

342
00:15:57,522 --> 00:15:58,906
and use paper bills?

343
00:15:59,296 --> 00:16:01,159
And then their mother comes here

344
00:16:01,159 --> 00:16:04,046
and gives a TEDxRíooftheWorms talk? No.

345
00:16:04,246 --> 00:16:07,442
(Applause)

346
00:16:07,442 --> 00:16:10,611
And another moving talk,
which I considered wonderful

347
00:16:10,611 --> 00:16:12,131
was that of Georgina Orellano.

348
00:16:12,131 --> 00:16:14,673
Georgina, sexual worker, head of AMMAR,

349
00:16:14,784 --> 00:16:19,972
who told us about how her boss
made her do 40 coffees again

350
00:16:20,022 --> 00:16:21,813
because the first ones were too cold.

351
00:16:22,163 --> 00:16:23,925
Here the shift of focus

352
00:16:24,125 --> 00:16:27,817
should be of some bosses and entrepreneurs
and start thinking

353
00:16:27,857 --> 00:16:30,108
why are there so many girls running risks

354
00:16:30,178 --> 00:16:32,632
working at dawn, 
in unsafe neighborhoods,

355
00:16:32,712 --> 00:16:35,803
exposing themselves, instead of
working in their hellish offices.

356
00:16:36,003 --> 00:16:40,433
But what I liked about Georgina
is that I felt relatable to her.

357
00:16:40,473 --> 00:16:44,691
Believe it or not a sexual worker's job
is similar to that of a comedian

358
00:16:44,731 --> 00:16:47,679
because, I don't know if you realize it
I'm here with my body

359
00:16:48,329 --> 00:16:52,934
laying my soul, pretending
to be having a great time

360
00:16:52,954 --> 00:16:54,444
but you're making me joke

361
00:16:54,494 --> 00:16:56,094
on very tough issues.

362
00:16:56,094 --> 00:16:57,081
(Laughter)

363
00:16:57,081 --> 00:17:01,117
All for you to have a happy ending.

364
00:17:01,267 --> 00:17:02,857
(Laughter)

365
00:17:03,047 --> 00:17:06,906
(Applause)

366
00:17:12,298 --> 00:17:15,508
Then there was Luciana Mantero
also, to talk about fertility.

367
00:17:16,098 --> 00:17:20,025
And she talked about early menopause
which may sound bad

368
00:17:20,025 --> 00:17:22,486
but it's a cool name for a punk band.

369
00:17:22,486 --> 00:17:23,511
(Laughter)

370
00:17:23,511 --> 00:17:25,031
Early menopause!

371
00:17:25,031 --> 00:17:27,170
(Laughter)

372
00:17:27,170 --> 00:17:31,003
And alerted us on having to worry

373
00:17:31,203 --> 00:17:33,219
about the future of our fertility today

374
00:17:33,219 --> 00:17:35,987
above all, because it is expensive
and hard to freeze eggs.

375
00:17:35,987 --> 00:17:38,037
Because you can't put them in the freezer

376
00:17:38,037 --> 00:17:41,249
at your ice tray at home,
and your friends come,

377
00:17:41,309 --> 00:17:44,079
make a Fernet and drink your kids, 
Nooo, Valentino!

378
00:17:44,079 --> 00:17:45,174
(Laughter)

379
00:17:45,174 --> 00:17:47,070
I found, invented, a method

380
00:17:47,070 --> 00:17:50,282
that is quite simpler and affordable

381
00:17:50,522 --> 00:17:52,746
with which you can freeze up to 40 eggs.

382
00:17:52,746 --> 00:17:55,282
You put one in each coffee
prepared by Georgina--

383
00:17:55,282 --> 00:17:57,149
(Laughter)

384
00:17:57,149 --> 00:17:58,958
It's really cool, right?

385
00:17:59,008 --> 00:18:00,927
(Laughter)

386
00:18:01,597 --> 00:18:07,098
Another focus shift was proposed
by Demian Reidel about the end of cash.

387
00:18:07,098 --> 00:18:08,160
I don't quite agree.

388
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,719
If you want to get rid of cash, do it.

389
00:18:10,719 --> 00:18:12,451
I'll be waiting there with a box,

390
00:18:12,451 --> 00:18:15,731
you can leave it there for me
I handle its disappearance.

391
00:18:15,741 --> 00:18:17,096
But what I didn't like

392
00:18:17,126 --> 00:18:19,421
was that he says bills
enable money laundering.

393
00:18:19,421 --> 00:18:22,230
The existence of bills favor
money laundering.

394
00:18:22,230 --> 00:18:23,256
On the other hand,

395
00:18:23,256 --> 00:18:26,365
as bills go from hand to hand,
they are really dirty.

396
00:18:26,625 --> 00:18:28,981
I mean...come on, friend.

397
00:18:28,991 --> 00:18:31,598
You don't like laundering 
and then you nag about dirt.

398
00:18:31,788 --> 00:18:35,910
When I was a boy, a little patience--

399
00:18:36,060 --> 00:18:38,100
I once was six days without having a bath

400
00:18:38,110 --> 00:18:40,648
and my parents didn't change me
for a virtual son.

401
00:18:40,648 --> 00:18:43,393
I didn't arrive home and
they were raising Sims

402
00:18:43,393 --> 00:18:46,196
because I was not up to 
their standards of hygiene.

403
00:18:46,246 --> 00:18:51,324
(Applause)

404
00:18:51,324 --> 00:18:53,165
He says money is worse than weapons.

405
00:18:53,165 --> 00:18:54,953
It hurts and kills more than weapons

406
00:18:54,953 --> 00:18:56,954
How hard you have to throw a bill

407
00:18:56,984 --> 00:18:58,947
for it to hurt you more than a gun?

408
00:18:58,947 --> 00:19:01,984
It can cut you on the side, 
maybe but not really--

409
00:19:02,084 --> 00:19:05,261
The one who's afraid to weapons
is Teresa Bo.

410
00:19:05,461 --> 00:19:08,461
Teresa, a "peace correspondent," she said.

411
00:19:08,511 --> 00:19:10,329
War correspondent, come on!

412
00:19:10,399 --> 00:19:13,122
War correspondent, no such thing
as a peace correspondent.

413
00:19:13,322 --> 00:19:16,675
As a kid she wanted to do that,
she asked her parents

414
00:19:16,745 --> 00:19:20,118
the "war correspondent" toy set.

415
00:19:20,448 --> 00:19:24,321
That comes with a tiny helmet,
bulletproof vest, a camera.

416
00:19:24,831 --> 00:19:27,096
Ovaries are sold apart,
because they are huge

417
00:19:27,156 --> 00:19:29,272
so don't fit inside the tiny case.

418
00:19:29,612 --> 00:19:37,901
(Applause)

419
00:19:38,101 --> 00:19:39,352
Awful her Haiti story.

420
00:19:39,352 --> 00:19:42,879
That the kids there ate mud cookies.

421
00:19:42,909 --> 00:19:44,009
Do you recall that?

422
00:19:44,009 --> 00:19:45,434
They ate mud cookies.

423
00:19:45,434 --> 00:19:46,679
But the remarkable thing

424
00:19:46,679 --> 00:19:50,271
was that it was full of Pitusas
and they chose mud cookies.

425
00:19:50,461 --> 00:19:52,588
They are so horrible.

426
00:19:52,698 --> 00:19:54,515
(Laughter)

427
00:19:54,845 --> 00:19:58,974
But it is fishy... she says
she was in Iraq, Afghanistan,

428
00:19:59,054 --> 00:20:02,752
Haiti, Venezuela, Mexico
everywhere there was trouble.

429
00:20:03,402 --> 00:20:04,776
She's a bit of a jinx!

430
00:20:04,776 --> 00:20:07,020
(Laughter)

431
00:20:07,020 --> 00:20:09,564
The risk we're running here

432
00:20:10,714 --> 00:20:16,067
is that hell may break loose
between the two sides

433
00:20:16,067 --> 00:20:18,036
the two sides of the crack.

434
00:20:18,326 --> 00:20:22,365
Those who think that they'd had enough
education talks for a day.

435
00:20:22,365 --> 00:20:24,901
and those three of you 
who would have preferred some more.

436
00:20:24,925 --> 00:20:27,740
(Laughter)

437
00:20:27,875 --> 00:20:31,564
I'm going to let you go
because you're tired now,

438
00:20:31,744 --> 00:20:37,532
and don't want to hear anything else,
you're sleepy, I see it on your faces.

439
00:20:37,692 --> 00:20:41,857
But before I go, I want to leave you
a last thought

440
00:20:41,927 --> 00:20:44,724
It's great to change perspective.

441
00:20:45,094 --> 00:20:48,302
But don't exaggerate; 
those who came by car

442
00:20:48,462 --> 00:20:51,616
don't let the 9000 people 
who came on foot get first.

443
00:20:52,716 --> 00:20:55,266
A little bit of common sense.

444
00:20:57,206 --> 00:21:01,147
The best thing we can do is 
to put ourselves in someone else's place,

445
00:21:01,147 --> 00:21:04,313
unless it is a ramp or parking
for the disabled,

446
00:21:04,483 --> 00:21:06,325
in that case, get out!

447
00:21:06,455 --> 00:21:07,734
Don't take it too literal.

448
00:21:07,734 --> 00:21:09,627
(Applause)

449
00:21:11,677 --> 00:21:16,041
It is great to want to get rid of cash

450
00:21:16,431 --> 00:21:18,875
let's get rid of cash, but gradually,

451
00:21:18,875 --> 00:21:21,812
or else next year this will be called
TEDxRíooftheBitcoins

452
00:21:21,822 --> 00:21:23,132
Let's take it slowly.

453
00:21:23,132 --> 00:21:25,782
(Laughter)

454
00:21:26,062 --> 00:21:28,574
But I know, I trust that 
you'll do cool things

455
00:21:28,654 --> 00:21:30,128
because you've been here,

456
00:21:30,258 --> 00:21:31,876
and that's good of you,

457
00:21:31,876 --> 00:21:33,903
not like those lazy people 
watching via streaming.

458
00:21:33,963 --> 00:21:36,927
And when I say lazy people
I mean the people who did it best,

459
00:21:36,957 --> 00:21:39,006
because they were all afternoon 
in underwear

460
00:21:40,066 --> 00:21:42,778
and now won't have to leave with 10,000
at the same time

461
00:21:42,778 --> 00:21:44,323
through the same door.

462
00:21:45,123 --> 00:21:47,283
You just realize the drag, right?

463
00:21:47,283 --> 00:21:48,904
(Laughter)

464
00:21:48,904 --> 00:21:50,882
But well, summing up,

465
00:21:50,882 --> 00:21:53,253
let's be nice
with the people of this planet

466
00:21:53,253 --> 00:21:55,548
or any planet in which people fart.

467
00:21:55,868 --> 00:21:58,507
Trust yourselves, 
trust yourselves, except for you,

468
00:21:58,507 --> 00:22:01,596
don't trust yourself, 
it's the worst thing you can do.

469
00:22:02,176 --> 00:22:04,635
I traumatized her and she wonders why.

470
00:22:05,435 --> 00:22:08,970
Let's forget about preconceptions,
enjoy learning although it is tiresome.

471
00:22:08,970 --> 00:22:12,880
Let's toast with cold coffee 
for every second of freedom we have

472
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,585
and throw smiles as those you threw at me.

473
00:22:15,585 --> 00:22:18,970
That it was easy for you
and you made me very happy.

474
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,801
Good thanks, many nights.

475
00:22:20,801 --> 00:22:22,801
(Applause)
