How Quadratic Funding Could Finance Your Dreams | Kevin Owocki | TED

What if your $1 donation could result in a $100 contribution to a cause you believe in? That's the promise of quadratic funding: a new kind of crowdfunding model that uses math to distribute funds based on the number of contributors, rather than the amount given. Gitcoin founder Kevin Owocki dives into the principles and pitfalls of this approach to philanthropy, where "many small donors are more powerful than one large donor." (Recorded at TED2024 on April 18, 2024)

#history #endtimes #doomsday

According to one poll, nearly four out of ten American adults believe that we are currently living in the end times. According to another poll, 83% of people living in Afghanistan said the end times would happen in their lifetime. According to yet another poll, 10% of people around the world think the world is probably going to end THIS YEAR. Oh wait, that was a poll taken in 2012. Well, I guess the world DIDN’T end in 2012, after all. Oh hey…yeah…remember that? Back in 2012 when a lot of people were freaking out about the world ending? There was even a movie that got in on the fun. A really crappy movie. Anyway, the 2012 phenomenon was when a bunch of people thought either world-ending or world-transforming events would happen on or around December 21, 2012, the end-date of a 5,126-year-long cycle described in an ancient Maya calendar. Yeah, that date came and went and the end of the world did not, in fact, happen.

But humans have been saying the end of the world is near. I should clarify, that the end of the end of the world is near FOR HUMANS for at least a couple thousand years.

Here in the United States, it’s often certain Christians are the ones who won’t stop talking about the End Times, often paired with the return of Jesus Christ. But it’s not just Christianity that has been all about apocalypticism, or the belief that the end of the world could happen any day. No, no no no no. Other religions have got in on the fun, too.

Here’s a brief history of the End of the World.

Everything Is Improvisation — Including This TED Talk | Reggie Watts | TED

In this ode to improvisation, musician and comedian Reggie Watts beatboxes, raps, loops his own rhythms and reflects upon the everyday power of turning the mundane into magic. After all, he says, we're all just making it up as we go along. (Recorded at TED2024 on April 18, 2024)

Kamala Harris is the most active Vice President in the United States Senate in history.

Remember, there’s 100 members of the Senate. Whenever there’s a 50-50 tie after a vote, one of the few jobs a Vice President actually has is to BREAK that tie, and of the 301 tie-breaking votes ever cast by vice presidents in the Senate, Harris has cast 33 of them. Yep, she’s broke more ties in the Senate than any other Vice President in American history.

While most of these votes were to approve Joe Biden’s judicial nominees, two notable laws that Harris broke ties for to get them passed were the American Rescue Plan and the Inflation Reduction Act, the biggest law Congress has ever passed to invest in fighting climate change and a big reason why prescription drug prices are going down for tens of millions of Americans.

Hey! I guess being a Vice President isn’t such a useless job after all.

The Hidden Forces Behind Your Food Choices | Sarah Lake | TED

What we eat is less about what we choose and more about what’s offered to us, says food and climate expert Sarah Lake. Unpacking how governments and companies have driven up meat consumption in the US through extensive marketing, she explains how we could employ these same forces to incentivize plant-based eating — for the sake of the planet, public health and global food security. (Recorded at TED Countdown Dilemma Series: Food on June 6, 2024)

#bayofpigs #ushistory #apush

For the few Americans who know about what we now call the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the only thing they know about it was that it was a failure. In this video, I'm going to tell you WHY it was a failure, and you better just, like, listen, because if you don’t I will fail you.

The Bay of Pigs Invasion, as most folks call it now, was an embarrassing defeat for Kennedy and the United States. It showed the CIA was in over their heads. They got too cocky and miscalculated. And the agency must have been embarrassed, too, as it classified lots of information that made it look bad.


The invasion also ended up being quite a political victory for Castro and his authoritarian government. It turned not only most Cubans, but most LATIN AMERICANS against the American government, and only made Castro more popular.

Still, despite feeling abandoned by the American government, many of the Cuban exiles who participated in the Bay of Pigs Invasion remained steadfastly loyal to the United States in the following years. Some went on to become officers in the military. Some even served in the Vietnam War. Today, here in the United States we honor members of Brigade 2506 as heroes who tried to overthrow a dictator and free their home country. And what an honor it was to visit the Brigade 2506 Museum and Library in Miami. And good news…it’s getting a brand new building soon! Exciting stuff.

And it was an even GREATER honor to have the privilege of speaking with an actual Bay of Pigs Invasion VETERAN. Dr. Eduardo Zayas-Bazán, thank you for sharing your story with us.
