I watch these things & always wonder if anyone involved has ever had real interaction w/any human being outside their own well-appointed social circle. At day's end, TED is just another global old-boy network. But perhaps w/a few less boys. A more erudite & personable version of the average PBS panel from the 1970s and 80s. In which a few suits talk coolly about what's best for a group of other people who they don't know & who will never be let on the air to speak for themselves.
