What the fails to recognize is that most of the advances he lauds are created by the evil corporate capitalists.

I don’t know if you even listened to the talk
He is talking about empirical facts and willful ignorance

I don’t know who this guy is, but he seems to have discovered that after Liberals deserted liberty, Progressives have deserted progress.

Thanks for putting this up. It’s reminded me to work on my project to create a catalog of all the TED videos. I trailed off at 242.

Autism is in the family, and I did a lot of reading before giving my child the MMR vaccine. Everything he says is true about MMR.
That said…I understand parent’s unease.
I think there are some children, premies — or those that are immunocompromised for some reason, who shouldn’t be given vaccines, or should be given them later. A man was sent to jail for shaking his baby and later exonerated, it turns out his son, born extremely premmature had a reaction to a particular vaccine that caused his brain to swell.
…of course I also believe that healthy children like my son should get his vaccines so he won’t be a carrier of Measles/Polio, etc. and infect those immunocompromised children.
A little OT: Somehow every time we tried to give him the MMR vaccine he was sick with something else. We waited until he had a clean bill of health as suggested by the manufacturer…he had a serious reaction to it anyway — 104 fever and he got the rash, his behavior changed for a time too, for some reason he stopped potty training, not sure why. I’m certain the measles would have been worse, but it was SCARY.

“I don’t know if you even listened to the talk”
Well, I stopped listening after he said that humanity is going to become extinct unless we get all green and socialist.
