“The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty — it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There’s a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.” ― A Simple Path: Mother Teresa
Today’s Ted Talk highlight’s a woman’s plight leaving a shantytown outside of Nairobi. Jacqueline Novogratz tells this story explaining that poverty is not what we think it is. Enjoy!!
Until next time…

Hey all, I’ll make this one brief. I only post Ted Talks I’ve watched and don’t want to shortchange you during my brother’s visit. So, no Ted Talk today. Between my brother’s visit and my Mother’s cataract surgery, things have been busy here. I’ll be back up and running on Thursday, after my brother’s departure to Phoenix tomorrow afternoon.
Until next time…

Enjoy today’s Ted Talk, presented by Alain De Botton, who prescribes that each of us has our own definition of success. We should pursue that, not what society (advertisers and marketers) describes. Success should be your own, not someone else’s definition.
Have a great Tuesday!
Until next time…

When we think of AI, we envision movies like The Matrix and The Terminator. We naturally imagine a different world where a computer will be smarter than us and may have different values than we do. In this TED Talk, Nick Bostrom offers views of what an AI future would look like. Prepare to be astounded.
Until next time…
