Leonardo DaVinci is alleged to have said: 'simplicity is the ultimate sophistication'. And indeed, his sculptures look so smooth and natural, they appear to have just shaken off the stone to step out of it. Nothing reminisces the endless hard working hours it obviously took too make them. The truly good things on this earth seem to just come into existence effortless. Richard Straver is convinced that he has developed one of these really good things: something that appears so simple, you and I should have thought of it our selves.
On TEDxRotterdam Richard Straver reveals this unique project.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

I thought TED was about telling us something not selling us sometime. A brilliant quote followed by a bloody sales talk

In this complicated world we are living in, we need to embrace the beauty of simplicity since that is what complexity originates from. If you cannot embrace simplicity, you will never quite understand complexity.

EVERYTHING originates from Simplicity, it's the source of all. The complexity of dualism corrupts that, and leads to destruction/decay. With anything you have 2 basic choices, Simplicity or Sophist-mitigation. The truly wise will choose Simplicity every time.

Something sophisticated looks from the outside simple, but on the inside highly complex.

Simplicity is difficult, but that doesn't mean you ought to not learn it. To keep things at a simple standard is the hardest thing you can do. Therefore why make a thing complicated?, I say it serves a man well to do things simple style!

This is the worst TED-talk I have ever seen. Like someone in the street offers you a flyer and hands it to you with a little "candy" so you take it, but actually all you want is the candy. Well, and just like in the street the candy is only cheap stuff... On the other hand I didn't pay 120,- Euro to see this live, so me happy! :-)
