“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…

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.

“The actual path of a raindrop as it goes down the valley is unpredictable, but the general direction is inevitable,” says digital visionary Kevin Kelly — and technology is much the same, driven by patterns that are surprising but inevitable. Over the next 20 years, he says, our penchant for making things smarter and smarter will have a profound impact on nearly everything we do. Kelly explores three trends in AI we need to understand in order to embrace it and steer its development. “The most popular AI product 20 years from now that everyone uses has not been invented yet,” Kelly says. “That means that you’re not late.”
With all the talk surrounding AI, Kevin provides us with a new perspective. Enjoy today’s Ted talk!
Until next time…

Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses — and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person “being” a genius, all of us “have” a genius. It’s a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.
Until next time…
