I'm just going to say something about Alli Veli, who of course hosts The Last Word on Friday nights. He is one of the most brilliant, one of the most deeply substantive, who has a crazy wealth of knowledge people, and I get to talk to him when he's not on television and the loveliest colleague, and I cannot wait to see what you do with the 11 p.m. Morali Veli is good during the week. I'm excited about it. Thank you, my friend. And you're right, we have I think we have some great conversations. I get so much ...

When I was growing up, I had this amazing friend. I've known this friend since before I could remember, and they were always just kind of around. As I got older, I came to rely on this friend in an everexpanding number of ways.If I was feeling down, they would cheer me up. When life became overwhelming or stressful, they would hang with me and help me forget my troubles for a while. If I needed a push to finish some late night homework or to keep sprinting at the end of a run, they would motivate me.And if ...

Did you know that if healthc care was a country, it would be the fifth biggest emitter of greenhouse gases worldwide? I work as anesthesiologists. So I earn my money by making people fall asleep. So if you fall asleep during this talk, don't worry. That's just me being very good at my job. My work in anesthesia is often routine, sometimes even boring. But at times it gets really fast and stressful and many things happen and need to be tackled at once. Complications happen, errors happen, and sometimes, no m ...

Do you ever feel like time is just going too fast and that you can't get round to those things that are important to you. That's how I felt about taking climate action. I just found that I couldn't fit it in.And even when I did start making progress, it just didn't seem enough for the scale of the climate crisis. This all changed when I realized tackling my personal carbon footprint wasn't the golden bullet solution that I was sold to tackling the climate change. Sure, it might seem to make a lot of sense t ...

Core Viewpoint - ExxonMobil plans to change its legal domicile from New Jersey to Texas, citing a more business-friendly environment and the alignment of its legal home with its operational base since 1989 [1][2][6]. Group 1: Rationale for Redomiciliation - The board of directors unanimously recommended the move, emphasizing that it would benefit shareholders by aligning the company's legal home with its leadership and core operations [2]. - Texas has created a favorable policy and regulatory environment that allows companies to maximize shareholder value, according to ExxonMobil's CEO [3][7]. - The Texas Business Court is designed to resolve complex disputes efficiently, which was a significant factor in the board's decision [7]. Group 2: Historical Context and Legal Considerations - ExxonMobil's connection to New Jersey is primarily historical, dating back to the incorporation of Standard Oil of New Jersey in 1882, with no board meetings held in New Jersey for over 40 years [16]. - The proposed change will not affect business operations, management, strategy, assets, or employee locations, with approximately 30% of global employees and 75% of the U.S. workforce based in Texas [12]. - Shareholder rights under Texas law are comparable to those in New Jersey, with some areas being stronger, and the company has no plans to adopt provisions that would diminish these rights [12][15]. Group 3: Background on Legal Challenges - ExxonMobil has faced years of legal battles with activist investors and climate-focused shareholder campaigns, including a notable proxy fight in 2021 where an activist hedge fund won three board seats [11]. - New Jersey officials previously sued Exxon and other fossil-fuel companies for their contributions to climate change, although the suit was dismissed last year [8].

So let me take you on a journey. What if the factory of the future is ethical, regenerative, and beautiful for our cities, for our eyes, for our souls. On a wooden table in Athens, a jacket lays open.The lining is torn. The woman repairing it had one sewn under threat. But tonight she just finished giving a lecture.And as she closes the last stitch, she puts her name on the label. Not a logo, a name. You can feel it in the room.When we make, we belong. And belonging changes everything. This is the fashion f ...

Let me ask you all a question. Do you know what a shark is. Raise your hands if you know what a shark is, please.Do you all know at least one type of shark. That's great. You've all been listening to your teachers, I believe.So, let me share with you an interesting fact about the shark. The shark may be the apex predator in the ocean. However, it has a terrible weakness.If it stops swimming, it stops breathing, stops life. If it stops swimming, it stops moving, it stops its life. Well, I believe I myself I' ...

I'm only half joking when I refer to Ottawa as a city state. In land area, our city is half the size of the province of Prince Edward Island. If this is a surprise to you, please raise your hand.This poll is not just a TEDex engagement strategy. It is um a test of reality because if so many of you who care enough about big picture thinking to come to TEDex talks are unaware how vast our city is, it's certain you're not alone. Yet this reality, if embraced as part of our identity, could transform the future ...

I was doom scrolling one night and I saw a girl standing at a high table and she was pushing a thin glass slowly towards the edge and she looked intensely at the camera and she said, "Now there is three ways that you could respond. You can help push, you could push back, or you could just witness. But and I think a lot of us feel like witnesses right now. We are witnessing injustices near and far, big and small, and all the time. And it's easy to feel small, alone, and powerless. And I used to feel like tha ...
