Can We End Our World's Deadliest War?

Google Tech Talk
September 14, 2010

ABSTRACT

Presented by Sean D. Carasso.

In less than two years a small group of determined young people have created a global coalition for peace in Congo. Sean will share their unlikely story and show the potential for historic change inside our world's deadliest war.

Speaker Bio: An avid adventurer, Sean traveled the world with John Paul Dejoria and with every step wanted to see more. In 2008 he went to South Africa on a TOMS Shoe Drop and then headed north into the Democratic Republic of Congo. There he learned of children sent to the front lines of war, armed with only a whistle.

That night he wrote a small journal named Falling Whistles. The journal was forwarded around the world and he woke up to thousands of emails asking; what can we do? The Falling Whistles campaign was born with a simple response - make their weapon your voice and be a whistleblower for peace.

Out of his garage-office in Venice California, Sean has partnered with local leaders in Congo to rehabilitate children and is creating a global coalition for peace in our world's deadliest war.

Before we continue this, did you even watch the whole thing? I’ve got the feeling that you didn’t.

[EffUsh]

@MoaiMaea

Just buy your smartphone, sign up to the consumerism and ignore the fact that the problems in the Congo are caused by your capitalist lifestyle.

This talk should not be on Google Tech Talks because it is of a much lower quality than all the others that I've seen. It's trite, insignificant and smug and completely lacks both the analytical rigor and technical expertise that is typical of Google Tech Talks. It's more suited to something like TEDx.

[MoaiMaea]

How is this offensive, huh? Provoking, yes, but don’t immediately call for censorship because your bigoted world view is being challenged.

[EffUsh]

This is quite horrible. It's offensive on so many levels that I'd better stop here. Why is this on Google Tech Talks? 

[sweet6b9]

I have something to say, and it is ahead of its time. It is so shocking that most people tell me to tell someone else. There is no Court in the World that can touch what I have to say. There is no evidence that will shock you more than what I have to show you. This is the source to problems around the world. This is the evidence that could change the face of the planet. This is the Truth!! Please contact me.

enjoy :)

[helpmarcopolo]

really? smartphones are the solution here... disappointing. It's great to form a coalition, but what would this coalition do that makes it so much more effective than the UN.

[scorpionsSon]

why did he show so many pictures of himself ? we don't care abt u, we care abt the poor peaple there 29:00 says it all

@usafbutters u'r an idiot, stop watching vds like these, it's out of your league, ur tiny brain can't get it

just watch Empty Vie (MTV) for the rest of your life, u ll be doing the world a favor

[The9raya]

@usafbutters well I tried to do that many times, but everywhere I go, I can't find a job. Since your Mom is already sucking every existing cock. I couldn't become a cock sucker. But Im not complaining, yo Mama is doin' fiiine but you in the other hand, you'r just an ignorant son of a bitch with no dick ( I know coz your Mom complained to me abt it)

[usafbutters]

@The9raya Yeah it's corperate America that makes Africans slaughter each other in record numbers... Go buy your stupid fucking whistle and preach that bullshit somewhere else you hipster cock sucker.

[The9raya]

Come on guys

we all know what's causing the wars (maybe all except average americans)

watch a video called the most important video you will ever see ( I know the title is gay but the content is life-changing ) You will understand why creating Wars and killing africans is seen as necessary by western companies ( or royalties)

[pseudonymuser]

oh my ...

[0hBr0therProductions]

this is beautiful

[LVGeneration]

Thank you Sean for this video, what you and your friends have done is simply amazing. We need more people like you in the world. Thank you, thank you, be blessed!

[llothar68]

Legalize it!

[whiteire]

our world's deadliest war is the war on drugs. prohibition-related violence destroys more lives than any other conflict.

[ozelectro]

8:00 Gosh I gotta say that blood quote goes really badly with AIDS.

[lollolllolllll]

@lollolllolllll His presentation skills are dire: Sounds like a stoned Keanu Reeves, especially in the film. A bit of a turn-off if he is trying to be taken seriously and evoke a response. Needs to work on his voice and demeanor: Grow up and present his ideas and keep all the Buck 'O Nine theatrics out of the elephant show.

[lollolllolllll]

This guy comes off as bit of a narcissist, but his work speaks for him regardless. He is focused and motivated in spreading awareness of our unjustified ignorance and apathy as westerners in regards to the lives of those who are suffering under tyranny.

from the title I was expecting to learn how to kill chuck norris..
