About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

This guy was my high school English teacher. I had the pleasure of watching him work for 3 out of my 4 years of high school and We still work as closely as two people can who have different obligations, jobs, tech issues and a ticking clock telling them when to do something and for how long to do it for. Aside from that this guy is brilliant. If you ever get the chance to talk to this guy for even, FIVE MINUTES, god take it. It will change your thought process, and if not, at least give you something to naw on for a while.

This was one of the better TEDxTalks I've seen in a while now (altough all other videos has also been good, but this one was great!)
