TedX was a unique opportunity to gain exposure to a variety of information from experts with a strong knowledge base of their topic. The format used by the organizers of multiple presentations on topics so varied, ranging from biking to ambiguous geneitalia may be off putting to some. However it reminds me of the rationale behind a strong liberal arts education. Exposure to new ideas, to knowledge outside of one's scope, to information beyond one's experiences allows for great opportunity.
It is only by opening ourselves up to new ideas that we can grow as people and as artists. TedX brings together innovators and those who want to become innovators. It brings together brilliant minds and allows those minds to share their brilliance and opens the listeners to becoming more brilliant.
TedX is inspirational in the ingenuity of its diversity, its excellent presenters, its wealth of knowledge, and is on my calendar for 2012.
