Can't remember where I read it but apparently TED has also recently withdrawn talks by Rupert Sheldrake and Graham Hancock.

makes you wonder what the TED talks want to express?
is freedom of speech really controlled?
banning talks and other peoples views or anything that does not fit into the current paradigm is imo a controlled society.

anything that opens your mind to the wider perspective is thrown out of the mainstream.

problem is.

too many people are waking up.

Cheers ronin and welcome to tot

I did some research on banned TED talks and came across three - the two mentioned above and the one below, which is only five+ minutes. I also looked on the TED website itself and found this comment from Graham Hancock fwiw:

"Graham Hancock 10+ +38
Apr 2 2013: Thanks to all who have posted in my defence here. It means a lot to me.

Big ideas are at stake, much larger than the individuals involved. But the knowledge that a community of good-hearted, open-minded people are out there, ready to fight for the freedom of ideas is the best thing to come out of this.

Warmest wishes and deep appreciation
Graham"


Rich People Don’t Create Jobs

Around a year ago TED banned Nick Hanauer‘s talk named ‘Rich People Don’t Create Jobs‘. The talk was deemed too ‘political’ and was never put online. However, after word got out, a large number of people signed a petition and demanded the rights to view it. TED reluctantly published Nick’s talk which you are able to view right here:

Let us hope that TED banning these videos has created even more interest in watching them (as is often the case )

[jimmer]

that's interesting.
two back to back presentations from the same whitechapel event -- banned.
and what about sheldrake's shoes?
flesh colored or bare feet?
if the latter, was that the true banning cause ; )

as for banning hanauer's presentation, I don't get it.
I don't get why they'd ban it and I don't get where
he's coming from: jobs and economic strength
come from middle class buying power.
ok, so where does the middle class get that
buying power? from good paying jobs created
by a growing business sector. so, what's he talking about?
his premise just doesn't make any sense to me.
maybe that's why TED banned it.
while affable, hanauer is talking nonsense, screw the politics.

jimmer i got the impresion that the middle and the poor are the highest taxed and carry the most difficulty to generate jobs ,but the small upper class pay the least amount of taxes and have goverment benifits to help sustain their buisnesses . on that note, meddium and small buisnes hire more the 85% and yet they carry the heaviest burdon compared to the relitively small large buisness.its an eg.world wide.

It makes perfect sense to me in a first world consumer economy (I know he hasn't factored in the as good as unregulated banks and an insane budget that spends at least 52% of tax dollars on the military).

What he says about it being a feed back loop seems to be true, when the middle class (talking US middle class here, the term doesn't mean the same thing in the UK) stop buying new cars for example, the automotive factories have to lay off workers creating more unemployed, who in turn can no longer go out for meals or buy new clothes etc as they once did, and there becomes less & less money in circulation & more & more businesses have to lay off workers and so it becomes a viscous circle.

We can certainly see the super rich getting way richer & it sure isn't helping the average person !

[jimmer]

ok, we've now woven the perfect loop...

the business owners provide jobs to make money,
the workers earn money that fuels the economy,
as the economy grows, business owners hire more workers who spend more money, etc. etc.

it's symbiotic, not a dichotomy.
it's a natural order that can only be stymied by
dishonesty and poor intentions.
