Join us for a night of TED. From Wikipedia: TED (Technology Entertainment and Design) is a global set of conferences owned by the private non-profit Sapling Foundation, formed to disseminate "ideas worth spreading."

Video 1: Barry Schwartz: Our Loss of Wisdom

Video 2: Jared Diamond: Why Societies Collapse

Arrive between 6:30 and 7:00 for introductions and to get settled in. We will begin the first video at 7:00. The video is approximately 20 minutes long. After we watch, we'll discuss for approximately 40 minutes (it'll depend on how much we want to discuss... it could be considerably less, but we'll cap it at no more than 60 minutes) Once we're done with the first video, we'll watch the second video (also approximately 20 minutes long) and discuss (same parameters).

Our home is small and humble... be prepared to get cozy... some of us will probably end up sitting on the floor.

For a first TED Night, this was great! My start time was too early - next time we'll convene at 7:00 and start the first video at 7:30 so people aren't rushed. Otherwise, though... we watched a video, discussed, watched a video, discussed. It was awesome! I plan to do lots more of these!
