This seems so unlike TED --the audio is substantially out of sync with the video. I would encourage the user account managers to take down this and upload a corrected version. It is a great message and deserves a good presentation.

Thank you. :)

Funny she talks about cultures. In Tagalog salamat po is thank you. It stems from the Persians, who said salem (originally meaning "regards"). Later it would mean peace; Indians integrated their culture into the Philippines. Spain would come and integrate the idea of you meaning elder, I think. Po means elder. History repeats itself. Integration means respect. When in rome, you say thank you rome.

discussing morals and ethics is good, but why bring in any talk about (almost certainly) non-existent deities? It isn't just the religious guilt spreaders who are deluded; it is anyone who is dogmatic and has faith. Ignoring reality (that is what faith and dogma do through ignoring evidence) is one of the biggest problems.

You sure are one agressive person rationalcrash. I am not saying peple should or should not do be have anything. What I am saying is that those who spread guilt around are just deluded. As for Morals its who you choose to be in the moment that counts. the god I talk about is that All that is both seen and unseen ever present now. Personally I call that Chief cos I am a irreverant child, and the Chief kinda likes irreverance beats the crap outta those pious bastards who preach repentance.

you haven't answered my question, which god are you talking about? zeus, apollo, thor?

Want to experience "universal love" (whatever that means), just take heroin. Are you saying people should take heroin and other drugs? seriously, where are your morals?
