A river of ideas | Luciano Mellera | TEDxRíodelaPlata
-
0:13 - 0:15Don't worry. Don't worry.
-
0:15 - 0:16I know, it's hard to listen to me.
-
0:16 - 0:19You all look like: We don't want
to learn anything else! -
0:20 - 0:22Don't worry.
-
0:22 - 0:25My talk doesn't have
any kind of useful information. -
0:26 - 0:31I'm committed to not giving any da...
-
0:31 - 0:32Audience: ...ta.
-
0:32 - 0:34Very Good!
-
0:34 - 0:36I just want to make you laugh for a wh...
-
0:36 - 0:37Audience: ...ile.
-
0:37 - 0:39I feel like Magdalena Fleitas.
-
0:40 - 0:42No, not kidding.
-
0:42 - 0:47I don't know if you lived this as I did
but along the day -
0:47 - 0:51something happened to me
and that's the shift of focus -
0:51 - 0:54of many ideas and preconceptions
I had before. -
0:54 - 0:57I believe that is the common thread
of the day: -
0:57 - 0:59the perspective shift;
-
0:59 - 1:00to shift the focus.
-
1:00 - 1:03I believe all the speakers,
over all the talks, -
1:03 - 1:04made their best, did a great job
-
1:04 - 1:07to challenge our perspective
in different aspects. -
1:07 - 1:11Like Juli Garbulsky,
just graduated from high school, -
1:11 - 1:13he could put into words
-
1:13 - 1:17something we all think about
schools and the education system. -
1:17 - 1:21I believe we could relate
to his suffering, -
1:21 - 1:23we were mirrored in his helplessness
-
1:23 - 1:27for being in an institution
trying to get out of it, -
1:27 - 1:28anxious to leave.
-
1:28 - 1:32And we all said "Poor Juli,"
until Andrea Casamento appeared -
1:32 - 1:34and she said her son was put in jail
-
1:34 - 1:36with no reason and it was like
"Get out, Juli." -
1:36 - 1:37(Laughter)
-
1:37 - 1:40As a kid, he drew on the wall at home.
-
1:40 - 1:43He drew himself in jail
dreaming about planes. -
1:43 - 1:46And Andrea says:
Do you want to know about prison? -
1:46 - 1:49Come and have a coffee at Serrano square
-
1:49 - 1:51and you'll see what prison is.
-
1:51 - 1:52Do you like planes?
-
1:52 - 1:55Come to Ezeiza and you'll see
the little planes. -
1:55 - 2:00(Applause)
-
2:02 - 2:04Juli liked the Mathematical Olympiads
at school. -
2:04 - 2:07Do you know about Mathematical Olympiads
in prison? -
2:08 - 2:09Got a pair of sneakers?
-
2:09 - 2:11Give it to me. How many left?
-
2:12 - 2:14Good at Mathematics.
-
2:14 - 2:15Want to know how many coins are there?
-
2:15 - 2:17Get this, get out of here, kiddo.
-
2:17 - 2:18Are you uneasy?
-
2:18 - 2:21Go run in sandals
like Jorge Drexler's marathonist, -
2:21 - 2:23and see if you are uncomfortable.
-
2:24 - 2:26Juli didn't like the way
he learned at school. -
2:27 - 2:28What about prison?
-
2:28 - 2:31You learn like
in Magdalenas Fleitas' classes. -
2:31 - 2:33All sing together.
-
2:33 - 2:35Give me the nine c...
-
2:35 - 2:36Audience: ...oins
-
2:37 - 2:39Get out of he...
-
2:39 - 2:41Audience: ...re
-
2:43 - 2:45Forget about the snea...
-
2:45 - 2:46Audience: ...kers.
-
2:46 - 2:49You have to start from the bo...
-
2:49 - 2:49Audience: ...ttom.
-
2:49 - 2:51Or I slap your f...
-
2:51 - 2:52Audience: ...ace.
-
2:52 - 2:54Good, all ready for prison.
-
2:54 - 2:56Congratulations. You can learn.
-
2:56 - 2:57Then, Pepe appeared.
-
2:58 - 3:01Pepe Menéndez right from Spain
-
3:01 - 3:04to change schools, to Juli's delight.
-
3:04 - 3:08He said that one of his students set out:
-
3:08 - 3:14how can exploitation
in child labor exist? -
3:14 - 3:18And I say, we know the answer,
it sucks but we know it: -
3:18 - 3:21kids are cheap and take up little space.
-
3:21 - 3:23Because they are small.
-
3:23 - 3:25It sucks, I know it sucks,
-
3:25 - 3:27but we aren't for silly questions, dear.
-
3:27 - 3:29(Laughter)
-
3:29 - 3:31And also, at least, nowadays,
-
3:31 - 3:33kids make sneakers, iPhones.
-
3:33 - 3:35When I was a kid, I had to make
-
3:35 - 3:37portraits, pencil holders, far from that.
-
3:37 - 3:39Every Mother's day, Father's day,
-
3:39 - 3:41no holidays
-
3:41 - 3:44and no contributions, anything.
-
3:44 - 3:46Shift of focus.
-
3:46 - 3:48(Laughter)
-
3:48 - 3:49Another one changing education,
-
3:49 - 3:52in this case in Ecuador, was Gloria Vidal.
-
3:52 - 3:56Gloria Vidal said people asked for work
-
3:56 - 3:59even as a teacher in Ecuador.
-
3:59 - 4:01Terrible, even as a teacher.
-
4:01 - 4:04Terrible, it meant the lowest position
in the socioeconomic level. -
4:04 - 4:08In Ecuador, being a teacher is an insult.
-
4:08 - 4:11But the awful part is
when she says that public education -
4:11 - 4:13was privatized at a certain moment.
-
4:13 - 4:16And a voluntary contribution
had to be paid. -
4:16 - 4:18A voluntary contribution!
-
4:18 - 4:22That is, if you want to, you have to pay,
if not, don't come to this school. -
4:22 - 4:24That sucks.
-
4:24 - 4:26Like "car guards" that say:
"50 pesos, voluntarily." -
4:26 - 4:28It's an oxymoron.
-
4:28 - 4:29"50 pesos voluntarily?
-
4:29 - 4:31Yes, here you have, master.
-
4:32 - 4:35(Laughter)
-
4:35 - 4:39(Applause)
-
4:41 - 4:42Gloria says that is good advise
-
4:42 - 4:45to accept challenges and answer the calls.
-
4:46 - 4:48And Andrea says mainly
if they are collect calls -
4:48 - 4:50from your son from prison,
don't make him hold on. -
4:52 - 4:53Then it was the turn of Teresa Punta,
-
4:53 - 4:57in case five talks about education
weren't enough, -
4:58 - 5:00we're going to listen to a sixth one.
-
5:01 - 5:03Teresa Punta, who gave
a beautiful talk as well. -
5:03 - 5:06Who talked about how her son
who behaved badly at school, -
5:07 - 5:09had a teacher who, instead of
excluding him, integrated him, -
5:09 - 5:12gave him extracurricular activities
-
5:12 - 5:15and now, he teaches kids
who misbehave at school. -
5:15 - 5:17And she also talked about Ayrton.
-
5:17 - 5:19Ayrton could only pay attention
-
5:19 - 5:21for 45 minutes periods.
-
5:22 - 5:23The same with me
-
5:23 - 5:24and it's just time in this talk
-
5:24 - 5:26so I don't have a joke with Teresa.
-
5:26 - 5:27So sorry.
-
5:27 - 5:30Anyway, I didn't worry because
then we had Diego Gutnisky -
5:31 - 5:36and he said we're about to get knowledge
put straight into our neurons. -
5:37 - 5:41And I say, you made me listen to
six talks about education... -
5:41 - 5:43(Laughter)
-
5:43 - 5:45the shift of focus
-
5:45 - 5:47should have been before that,
I believe so. -
5:47 - 5:50I would have woken up at noon...
-
5:53 - 5:55How do they work?
-
5:55 - 5:56Like a flash drive.
-
5:56 - 5:58I don't know where they put the USB
to enter the information. -
5:59 - 6:01In the armpit, don't know.
-
6:02 - 6:04Cool because they put it
and it's like zoom! -
6:04 - 6:05Because they can put data
-
6:05 - 6:07but also what they want.
-
6:07 - 6:09They can put advertisement, spam.
-
6:09 - 6:12Have to be careful there... zoom!
-
6:12 - 6:14Oh! I know integrals and derivatives
-
6:15 - 6:17but I want to eat something now,
don't know what. -
6:18 - 6:20pate, mackerel, rice, peas.
-
6:20 - 6:24I don't know. Sardine,
tuna, corn, lentils. -
6:25 - 6:28Something that spices up my life,
-
6:28 - 6:30from the moment I wake up.
-
6:31 - 6:34(Applause)
-
6:35 - 6:36And Diego also said
-
6:36 - 6:39that each neuron respects its labor union.
-
6:39 - 6:41Each neuron has a union and obeys it.
-
6:41 - 6:43That's why a study says
-
6:43 - 6:46a stroke is just a pair of neurons
picketing, -
6:46 - 6:48setting on fire a pair of mitochondria
-
6:48 - 6:50and the other neurons horn blowing
-
6:50 - 6:52and yelling: "Hey! I'm late for work."
-
6:52 - 6:54(Laughter)
-
6:54 - 6:57In Argentina we must have
some neurons missing -
6:57 - 6:59because see how crazy we must be
-
6:59 - 7:01that the talk about traffic
-
7:01 - 7:04had to be done by a specialist
in psychiatry. -
7:06 - 7:10Do we really need a psychiatrist
to talk about how we drive? -
7:12 - 7:14I picture José Nesis
-
7:14 - 7:19analyzing the average Argentine driver:
-
7:19 - 7:22Isn't that honk the expression
-
7:22 - 7:25of your frustration for not wanting
to go to your work? -
7:25 - 7:28Isn't that honk your
restricted dreams' projection -
7:28 - 7:31for having to make 40 coffees
to your nasty boss? -
7:31 - 7:33(Laughter)
-
7:33 - 7:35Maybe you think you committed
-
7:35 - 7:37a parking infraction and end up realizing
-
7:37 - 7:39you want to bang your mother.
-
7:39 - 7:43It's much deeper than we thought.
-
7:43 - 7:45What José says is really good,
-
7:45 - 7:48we have to start respecting ourselves
-
7:48 - 7:50when we drive, now.
-
7:50 - 7:51We don't have to wait for smart cars
-
7:51 - 7:53because we have a lot ahead.
-
7:53 - 7:55In fact, to me,
-
7:55 - 7:57a car will start being considered smart,
-
7:57 - 7:59every time you honk a girl
-
7:59 - 8:00a hand from the airbag
-
8:00 - 8:02will slap you for being a jerk.
-
8:02 - 8:03I think there we might--
-
8:03 - 8:07(Applause)
-
8:08 - 8:10We honk for everything.
-
8:10 - 8:12What the heck is wrong with us?
-
8:12 - 8:12Everything.
-
8:12 - 8:14There are people who still think
-
8:14 - 8:17a traffic jam can be solved with a honk.
-
8:17 - 8:20Do you think the ones ahead
are going to disintegrate -
8:20 - 8:21just because you honk?
-
8:23 - 8:24We honk for everything.
-
8:24 - 8:28A study says we honk,
most of the people honk, -
8:28 - 8:32because we are afraid of getting late
to places, above all, work. -
8:32 - 8:34Hypothesis refuted by taxi drivers,
-
8:34 - 8:39the ones who honk the most
and already arrived at their work. -
8:39 - 8:42I don't know where they want to go,
really. -
8:42 - 8:43(Laughter)
-
8:43 - 8:46A lot, a lot ahead for smart cars.
-
8:46 - 8:48We have to be smart first.
-
8:48 - 8:49Then, we can start developing
-
8:49 - 8:51artificial intelligence,
-
8:51 - 8:53as Diego Fernández Slezak stated,
-
8:53 - 8:55who says has a PhD in Computer Science
-
8:55 - 8:58and got a PhD by accident.
-
8:59 - 9:01What? By accident!
-
9:01 - 9:02I had a skull fissure as a kid
-
9:02 - 9:06against a pot by accident
and I don't have a PhD. -
9:07 - 9:08I would say all the opposite.
-
9:08 - 9:11Maybe, by accident you can be a comedian.
-
9:12 - 9:13You can be one-armed by accident.
-
9:13 - 9:17A father, if you want to,
but a PhD, first time ever. -
9:17 - 9:20(Applause)
-
9:23 - 9:24I like it as Diego says:
-
9:24 - 9:26There will be AI
-
9:26 - 9:28because in Terminator,
they said there would AI-- -
9:28 - 9:30What is he saying?
-
9:30 - 9:32You are a scientist, a PhD.
-
9:32 - 9:35I say it's kind of risky
to be based on fiction -
9:35 - 9:37to predict the future.
-
9:37 - 9:40Because Alf already predicted
there's life in other planets -
9:40 - 9:42and they eat cats.
-
9:43 - 9:46And Police Academy foresaw
an official can be such a jerk -
9:46 - 9:49to put in prison a boy
who didn't do anything, -
9:49 - 9:51he was at a café at Serrano Square,
that's it. -
9:51 - 9:53(Applause)
-
9:56 - 10:01Diego says that computers
are more sharpie. -
10:01 - 10:07They diagnose patients only
based on their clinical record. -
10:07 - 10:10They say they beat us at Chess
for a long time. -
10:10 - 10:12Here, there's a very interesting
shift of focus. -
10:12 - 10:17So, with my brother Joan,
thanks to TEDxRíodelaPlata production, -
10:17 - 10:19we did a research.
-
10:19 - 10:21A thorough experiment
-
10:21 - 10:25to see other disciplines
where computers can beat us. -
10:29 - 10:31Soccer is their weakness.
-
10:36 - 10:37Unperturbed.
-
10:37 - 10:39There I missed it
but it was my lack of expertise. -
10:40 - 10:42It didn't move at any moment.
-
10:43 - 10:44I'm celebrating a goal, yes.
-
10:45 - 10:48It's not recorded but there
a nurse took me by the hand, -
10:48 - 10:51did the doping test
and saw a picket in the neuron. -
10:53 - 10:56Then, the antivirus was updated,
but it couldn't be protected -
10:56 - 10:58even from a right jab.
-
10:58 - 11:01In chess they can beat us,
but not at boxing yet. -
11:03 - 11:05I'm so proud of this video.
-
11:07 - 11:12And it diagnoses tennis elbow,
but it can't hit back a ball. -
11:14 - 11:15(Laughter)
-
11:16 - 11:17I tried. I pitched slowly.
-
11:17 - 11:21I pitched from the left, right,
with a backhand stroke. -
11:21 - 11:24There it hit back, but very slowly.
-
11:25 - 11:27I got mad. Smash.
-
11:28 - 11:30Obviously celebrating
-
11:30 - 11:34because mankind won over computers.
-
11:35 - 11:38(Applause)
-
11:40 - 11:43I'm glad you take it as seriously
as it deserves. -
11:44 - 11:46But he says computers are smart,
-
11:46 - 11:49and that artificial intelligence
is threatening us. I don't know, -
11:49 - 11:52until a computer or mobile
needs to be charged -
11:52 - 11:55every 12 hours at least,
-
11:55 - 11:57I won't feel threatened at all.
-
11:57 - 12:01But I rely on Victoria Flexer,
-
12:01 - 12:04who's at la Puna with lithium and brine.
-
12:04 - 12:05Which I thought were useful
-
12:06 - 12:08for preserving olives.
-
12:08 - 12:10But she took it to another level
-
12:10 - 12:12making batteries for an entire nation.
-
12:13 - 12:15More useful than with olives.
-
12:15 - 12:17She says brines are 10 times saltier
-
12:17 - 12:20than sea water in Mar del Plata
-
12:20 - 12:23but not as salty --expensive-- as the rent
in the second half of January. -
12:23 - 12:24(Laughter)
-
12:25 - 12:29I obeyed and now carry with me
two packets of salt. -
12:29 - 12:31So if I run out of battery
in my mobile, -
12:31 - 12:33I throw a little salt on top.
-
12:33 - 12:36The bad news is: it doesn't work.
-
12:36 - 12:38The good news:
-
12:38 - 12:41I thought about a cool name
for her talk, -
12:41 - 12:44I mean, salt generating power
salt-generated power. -
12:44 - 12:48"Hyper-tension." She missed it.
-
12:48 - 12:51She didn't see it. I stole it from her.
-
12:51 - 12:54(Applause)
-
12:55 - 12:58The one who actually saw things
was Gerónimo Villanueva, -
12:58 - 13:00who works in the NASA, got him?
-
13:00 - 13:03Who boasts around about his telescope...
-
13:03 - 13:05(Laughter)
-
13:05 - 13:07Galileo Galilei from Lanus, come on!
-
13:07 - 13:12He has a great telescope
but ultimately didn't say much. -
13:12 - 13:15He says he saw methane.
-
13:17 - 13:20I mean... I don't know how.
-
13:20 - 13:24He discovered that, apparently,
-
13:25 - 13:28without jumping to conclusions,
-
13:28 - 13:33if his estimates after 5 years
are right, in Mars, -
13:33 - 13:37someone or something would have...
-
13:37 - 13:39farted?
-
13:39 - 13:41(Laughter)
-
13:41 - 13:44Is that what he said?
Did he talk about flatulence? -
13:44 - 13:47(Applause)
-
13:47 - 13:49When someone from the NASA came here
-
13:49 - 13:51I thought he'd talk about other rockets.
-
13:51 - 13:53Fanaticism.
-
13:53 - 13:55That started with a friend and a lighter.
-
13:55 - 13:58He says: now I'm going to give meaning
to my career, -
13:58 - 14:00my life has a purpose,
-
14:00 - 14:02will there be farts in another planet?
-
14:02 - 14:03(Laughter)
-
14:03 - 14:05He's the best.
-
14:05 - 14:07And was hired at the NASA!
-
14:08 - 14:14Incredible, but don't underestimate him.
-
14:14 - 14:18He rocks. They were gases
but very far away... -
14:18 - 14:21In my building's consortium
they are still arguing about -
14:21 - 14:23who farted in the elevator.
-
14:23 - 14:25Was it Irma or Jorge?
-
14:25 - 14:27I know it was her,
she lives next door, -
14:27 - 14:30I smell what she cooks,
it was her harvest. -
14:30 - 14:32(Laughter)
-
14:32 - 14:35Well, I joke about farts
and he is the one at the NASA -
14:35 - 14:36Please, allow me this.
-
14:37 - 14:40And I don't totally agree with
Daniel Schteingart. -
14:40 - 14:43He talked about data.
-
14:43 - 14:46He says losing an argument is winning.
-
14:47 - 14:50I say "no," he says "yes."
-
14:50 - 14:54No. Losing an argument is losing.
-
14:54 - 14:56Lose $ 100 and you won't see $ 200
in your account. -
14:56 - 14:59You can learn something, but you lost.
-
14:59 - 15:01Don't talk to me about paradoxes.
-
15:01 - 15:05This is science, TEDxRíodelaPlata.
-
15:07 - 15:11And another thing I didn't like was that
he argued a lot with his dad. -
15:11 - 15:15They argue a lot, but when they do
they stop for a while -
15:15 - 15:18have some rest, have a shower
then argue again. -
15:18 - 15:21I mean, how much information do you need
to notice that's weird? -
15:21 - 15:26Taking a shower with your dad
because you're arguing? -
15:29 - 15:32Who really raised her kids well,
unlike his dad, is Melina Furman. -
15:32 - 15:36She raised and educated her children well.
-
15:36 - 15:39Instead of answering their questions
immediately, she makes them research, -
15:39 - 15:41find their own answers.
-
15:41 - 15:44As in the worms, she unburied them,
made them run. -
15:44 - 15:48It might sound pedagogical
but it's somewhat cruel. -
15:48 - 15:51I mean, Meli, would you like it
if giant worms came here -
15:52 - 15:53dig you up and make you run races?
-
15:53 - 15:55And they ask their mom:
-
15:55 - 15:57Why human beings still crash
in the corners -
15:58 - 15:59and use paper bills?
-
15:59 - 16:01And then their mother comes here
-
16:01 - 16:04and gives a TEDxRíooftheWorms talk? No.
-
16:04 - 16:07(Applause)
-
16:07 - 16:11And another moving talk,
which I considered wonderful -
16:11 - 16:12was that of Georgina Orellano.
-
16:12 - 16:15Georgina, sexual worker, head of AMMAR,
-
16:15 - 16:20who told us about how her boss
made her do 40 coffees again -
16:20 - 16:22because the first ones were too cold.
-
16:22 - 16:24Here the shift of focus
-
16:24 - 16:28should be of some bosses and entrepreneurs
and start thinking -
16:28 - 16:30why are there so many girls running risks
-
16:30 - 16:33working at dawn,
in unsafe neighborhoods, -
16:33 - 16:36exposing themselves, instead of
working in their hellish offices. -
16:36 - 16:40But what I liked about Georgina
is that I felt relatable to her. -
16:40 - 16:45Believe it or not a sexual worker's job
is similar to that of a comedian -
16:45 - 16:48because, I don't know if you realize it
I'm here with my body -
16:48 - 16:53laying my soul, pretending
to be having a great time -
16:53 - 16:54but you're making me joke
-
16:54 - 16:56on very tough issues.
-
16:56 - 16:57(Laughter)
-
16:57 - 17:01All for you to have a happy ending.
-
17:01 - 17:03(Laughter)
-
17:03 - 17:07(Applause)
-
17:12 - 17:16Then there was Luciana Mantero
also, to talk about fertility. -
17:16 - 17:20And she talked about early menopause
which may sound bad -
17:20 - 17:22but it's a cool name for a punk band.
-
17:22 - 17:24(Laughter)
-
17:24 - 17:25Early menopause!
-
17:25 - 17:27(Laughter)
-
17:27 - 17:31And alerted us on having to worry
-
17:31 - 17:33about the future of our fertility today
-
17:33 - 17:36above all, because it is expensive
and hard to freeze eggs. -
17:36 - 17:38Because you can't put them in the freezer
-
17:38 - 17:41at your ice tray at home,
and your friends come, -
17:41 - 17:44make a Fernet and drink your kids,
Nooo, Valentino! -
17:44 - 17:45(Laughter)
-
17:45 - 17:47I found, invented, a method
-
17:47 - 17:50that is quite simpler and affordable
-
17:51 - 17:53with which you can freeze up to 40 eggs.
-
17:53 - 17:55You put one in each coffee
prepared by Georgina-- -
17:55 - 17:57(Laughter)
-
17:57 - 17:59It's really cool, right?
-
17:59 - 18:01(Laughter)
-
18:02 - 18:07Another focus shift was proposed
by Demian Reidel about the end of cash. -
18:07 - 18:08I don't quite agree.
-
18:08 - 18:11If you want to get rid of cash, do it.
-
18:11 - 18:12I'll be waiting there with a box,
-
18:12 - 18:16you can leave it there for me
I handle its disappearance. -
18:16 - 18:17But what I didn't like
-
18:17 - 18:19was that he says bills
enable money laundering. -
18:19 - 18:22The existence of bills favor
money laundering. -
18:22 - 18:23On the other hand,
-
18:23 - 18:26as bills go from hand to hand,
they are really dirty. -
18:27 - 18:29I mean...come on, friend.
-
18:29 - 18:32You don't like laundering
and then you nag about dirt. -
18:32 - 18:36When I was a boy, a little patience--
-
18:36 - 18:38I once was six days without having a bath
-
18:38 - 18:41and my parents didn't change me
for a virtual son. -
18:41 - 18:43I didn't arrive home and
they were raising Sims -
18:43 - 18:46because I was not up to
their standards of hygiene. -
18:46 - 18:51(Applause)
-
18:51 - 18:53He says money is worse than weapons.
-
18:53 - 18:55It hurts and kills more than weapons
-
18:55 - 18:57How hard you have to throw a bill
-
18:57 - 18:59for it to hurt you more than a gun?
-
18:59 - 19:02It can cut you on the side,
maybe but not really-- -
19:02 - 19:05The one who's afraid to weapons
is Teresa Bo. -
19:05 - 19:08Teresa, a "peace correspondent," she said.
-
19:09 - 19:10War correspondent, come on!
-
19:10 - 19:13War correspondent, no such thing
as a peace correspondent. -
19:13 - 19:17As a kid she wanted to do that,
she asked her parents -
19:17 - 19:20the "war correspondent" toy set.
-
19:20 - 19:24That comes with a tiny helmet,
bulletproof vest, a camera. -
19:25 - 19:27Ovaries are sold apart,
because they are huge -
19:27 - 19:29so don't fit inside the tiny case.
-
19:30 - 19:38(Applause)
-
19:38 - 19:39Awful her Haiti story.
-
19:39 - 19:43That the kids there ate mud cookies.
-
19:43 - 19:44Do you recall that?
-
19:44 - 19:45They ate mud cookies.
-
19:45 - 19:47But the remarkable thing
-
19:47 - 19:50was that it was full of Pitusas
and they chose mud cookies. -
19:50 - 19:53They are so horrible.
-
19:53 - 19:55(Laughter)
-
19:55 - 19:59But it is fishy... she says
she was in Iraq, Afghanistan, -
19:59 - 20:03Haiti, Venezuela, Mexico
everywhere there was trouble. -
20:03 - 20:05She's a bit of a jinx!
-
20:05 - 20:07(Laughter)
-
20:07 - 20:10The risk we're running here
-
20:11 - 20:16is that hell may break loose
between the two sides -
20:16 - 20:18the two sides of the crack.
-
20:18 - 20:22Those who think that they'd had enough
education talks for a day. -
20:22 - 20:25and those three of you
who would have preferred some more. -
20:25 - 20:28(Laughter)
-
20:28 - 20:32I'm going to let you go
because you're tired now, -
20:32 - 20:38and don't want to hear anything else,
you're sleepy, I see it on your faces. -
20:38 - 20:42But before I go, I want to leave you
a last thought -
20:42 - 20:45It's great to change perspective.
-
20:45 - 20:48But don't exaggerate;
those who came by car -
20:48 - 20:52don't let the 9000 people
who came on foot get first. -
20:53 - 20:55A little bit of common sense.
-
20:57 - 21:01The best thing we can do is
to put ourselves in someone else's place, -
21:01 - 21:04unless it is a ramp or parking
for the disabled, -
21:04 - 21:06in that case, get out!
-
21:06 - 21:08Don't take it too literal.
-
21:08 - 21:10(Applause)
-
21:12 - 21:16It is great to want to get rid of cash
-
21:16 - 21:19let's get rid of cash, but gradually,
-
21:19 - 21:22or else next year this will be called
TEDxRíooftheBitcoins -
21:22 - 21:23Let's take it slowly.
-
21:23 - 21:26(Laughter)
-
21:26 - 21:29But I know, I trust that
you'll do cool things -
21:29 - 21:30because you've been here,
-
21:30 - 21:32and that's good of you,
-
21:32 - 21:34not like those lazy people
watching via streaming. -
21:34 - 21:37And when I say lazy people
I mean the people who did it best, -
21:37 - 21:39because they were all afternoon
in underwear -
21:40 - 21:43and now won't have to leave with 10,000
at the same time -
21:43 - 21:44through the same door.
-
21:45 - 21:47You just realize the drag, right?
-
21:47 - 21:49(Laughter)
-
21:49 - 21:51But well, summing up,
-
21:51 - 21:53let's be nice
with the people of this planet -
21:53 - 21:56or any planet in which people fart.
-
21:56 - 21:59Trust yourselves,
trust yourselves, except for you, -
21:59 - 22:02don't trust yourself,
it's the worst thing you can do. -
22:02 - 22:05I traumatized her and she wonders why.
-
22:05 - 22:09Let's forget about preconceptions,
enjoy learning although it is tiresome. -
22:09 - 22:13Let's toast with cold coffee
for every second of freedom we have -
22:13 - 22:16and throw smiles as those you threw at me.
-
22:16 - 22:19That it was easy for you
and you made me very happy. -
22:19 - 22:21Good thanks, many nights.
-
22:21 - 22:23(Applause)

- A river of ideas | Luciano Mellera | TEDxRíodelaPlata
- Description:
-
Luciano Mellera laughs at the talks of TEDxRíodelaPlata 2017. Lucho left behind his career as an advertising creative to become one of the greatest exponents of Latin Stand Up. In 2015 he was nominated as a Revelation at the Estrella de Mar Awards and he did not win, but he does not care. It's a lie; he does a little bit. Together with Lucas Lauriente they made the first stand-up show of Argentina in a stadium, filling the capacity of the legendary Luna Park, and several times was part of the cast of Comedy Central.
He took part in TEDxRíodelaPlata on three occasions: one as a speaker and two as a comedian, closing the last two editions before more than 10,000 people at each opportunity. This year he was selected to record a Stand Up special for Netflix.This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
