Often, we learn history directly from those who experienced it firsthand. But the vast majority of folks who experienced World War Two, firsthand, are now dead. Around 70 million people fought in World War Two. Less than 75,000 of them are still around today. The youngest World War Two veterans today are in their late 90s.

Based on current estimates, nearly all of them will be dead by the year 2040.

I was extremely fortunate to spend some time with two of them.

Wilbur Grisham served as a medic in the Pacific Theater of the war.

Marvin Blakeman served with the 83rd Infantry Division in the European Theater of the war. He landed at Normandy and saw combat as he marched through France, eventually fighting in the Battle of the Bulge.


I also was extremely fortunate to spend the day with Hudson, who works with the channel Memoirs of World War Two. The folks at the channel travel to as many places as they can to interview and honor the few surviving World War Two veterans left. These veterans have not only important stories to share, but fascinating stories. And because they are PERSONAL stories, they capture what history books often can’t. And the videos are incredibly well produced. The channel is a gem. Check it out.

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)
