The Diary Of A CEO· 2025-07-14 19:00
Jeffrey Epstein was a product of at least one element of the intelligence community. The CIA, FBI. I don't know who ran him, but he knew a tremendous amount about my scientific work in ways that he wasn't supposed to. Very powerful people told me I needed to meet him. He certainly was not a financeier in any standard sense. That was a cover story. And I want to know why people don't investigate it. I want to know why nobody asks for the filings. But I think more than anything, we don't trust our scientists ...

What studying fish teaches me about human life | James Liao | TEDxUF
TEDx Talks· 2025-07-08 16:38
This is a fish swimming. On the left, there's a cylinder with water rushing past it, creating turbulent eddies called vortices that the fish can't see, but they can feel. In nature, fish swim in turbulent flows, and they surf on these vortices. Now only if this fish were alive. But it's not. It's dead. How then is this fish swimming? The vortices generated from the cylinder provide the energy. The water swims the dead fish. I'm a professor at the University of Florida, a biomechanist and neuroscientist, and ...
Jean-Baptiste Morin and the Importance of Process | Ian McKnight | TEDxHaverford College
TEDx Talks· 2025-07-08 16:36
Historical Context & Intellectual Shifts - The presentation discusses Jean Baptiste Morvan de Villefranche, a figure from the 16th and 17th centuries, and his contributions to science and philosophy, particularly in the context of the shift from medieval to modern thought [5][6][9] - Morvan's initial belief in geocentrism (Earth as the center of the universe) is presented as a counterpoint to the emerging heliocentric view, highlighting the intellectual debates of the time [1][2][3][4] Morvan's Approach to Astrology - Morvan embraced astrology and sought to modernize it by applying scientific methods, such as collecting large sample sizes of data [6][7][9] - Despite the pseudoscientific nature of astrology, Morvan's commitment to his process and methodology is emphasized [10][16] Morvan's Contributions Beyond Astrology - Morvan made contributions to medicine by recognizing the dangers of excessive bloodletting, which was a common practice at the time [12] - He also offered a critique of Descartes' philosophy known as the circle objection, which remains a relevant philosophical issue [14] - Morvan attempted to solve the problem of determining longitude at sea, demonstrating his engagement with scientific challenges of his era [13] The Importance of Process Over Results - The central argument is that the value lies in the process and methodology, rather than solely on the results achieved [16][17] - Morvan's example is used to illustrate that even if one's beliefs or pursuits are ultimately disproven, the commitment to a rigorous process can still lead to valuable insights and contributions [18][19][20]

Morality: Science, Religion and Evil | Thara Padmanabhan | TEDxYouth@CardiffSixthFormCollege
TEDx Talks· 2025-06-16 15:11
Core Argument - Morality is a compass for navigating life, balancing objective truths with adaptability [3][6] - Evil stems from a disconnect from empathy and understanding, thriving in isolation fueled by rigid belief systems [10][11] - Science and spirituality are complementary, with science explaining "how" and spirituality addressing "why" [14][15] - Reconciling individual truths with a collective moral code is essential to overcome chaos and evil [27] Science and Spirituality - Science and religion can work together, as exemplified by the Big Bang theory theorized by a Catholic priest [17][18] - The placebo effect demonstrates the mind-body connection, highlighting the role of belief in healing [21][22] - Belief, whether in religion, medicine, or oneself, can lead to real physiological benefits [25] Truth and Morality - Morality is a living dialogue, not static or absolute, connecting science's understanding with spirituality's search for meaning [29] - Determining right and wrong is multifactorial, influenced by environment, spirituality, and science [30] - The purpose of morality is to illuminate the journey and ensure collective progress despite differences [30]
