no: his presentation is extremely streamlined to fit into the fixed format of TED presentations - his presentation is logical and sequential, although if he lost you somewhere it is up to you to go back, find where you got lost, and get back up to speed. wtf is your attention span so minute?

If it's a universal law, you should be able to prove it mathematically. So, prove mathematically that every single human being can not have what he or she wants.
