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)

Interesting. The idea that society is inherantly judgemental, is more an observation of the domination model of society. We label people and judge people.. these are explored in depth with the Non-Violent Communication process, amongst others.

We can as individuals and therefore as society moe beyond this.

The corporate profit driven machine wants us to to stay locked in this disconnected judgemental paradym. We do have choices, however great the information tsunami. Stop feeding the beasts.
