The fractal shape of evolution and adaptation | Vishwajeet Ranade | TEDxImperialCollege
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-16 16:20
Core Concept: Fractal Pattern of Evolution - The central argument is that human evolution follows a fractal pattern, specifically resembling a Sierpinski triangle, characterized by repetitive cycles of collective consciousness, individualism, and discovery [18][19] - This pattern suggests that adaptation and evolution are continuous, self-repeating processes [20] Key Components of Evolution - Shared social bonds are identified as a crucial vertex in the "triangle of evolution," emphasizing the importance of receiving support and care from the community [8] - Understanding individual roots forms another vertex, highlighting the significance of self-awareness and personal identity [9] - A steady pool of discovery acts as the third vertex, driving progress and innovation by encouraging exploration beyond existing knowledge [9] Historical Context - Human history is presented as a series of ages (Stone Age, Bronze Age, Medieval Age, Age of Industrialization) each marked by advancements resulting from discovery and adaptation [13][14][16] - The narrative highlights how tools, technologies, and social structures have evolved through these ages, reflecting the interplay between collective needs and individual innovation [13][14][15][16] The Role of Art - Art is identified as a constant thread throughout human history, connecting different ages and serving as a form of expression and reconnection with oneself [21][22] - The document suggests that art holds answers and insights, emphasizing its importance in personal and collective evolution [31] Personal Template for Evolution - The speaker shares a personal template for evolution, structured as a triangle with vertices representing personal elements (lifestyle, health), social elements (family, networks), and tools for evolution (academics, art, travel) [29] - Writing is positioned at the center of this template as a means of expression and problem-solving [30] Business Application: EdTech Transition - The speaker recounts a transition from a tech media agency to an EdTech company focused on blockchain education, reaching over 300,000 people globally [23][26] - This transition involved upskilling, academic research, curriculum development, and partnerships with institutions like NAS Academy and Stanford University, including scholarships worth $400,000 for women in tech [25][26]

TEDx Talks· 2025-12-15 17:30
I stand before you here today not to give expert opinions or give backup resources but I am here to speak my heart out. The art of being present holds so much more value than we actually realize.
