Polemics don’t change the world, stories do…
February 4, 2008 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comment
Came across this TED talk this morning (was posted on my new friend Tony’s tribe profile, where I ended up after he sent me a gorgeous video on dolphins blowing bubble rings). Have tremendously enjoyed most of the TED talks I watched so far, and particularly liked this one.
One statement he makes toward the end is that he does not believe politicians can change the world, but that stories do… Well, this is a good one:
