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)

The narcissists in the audience won't be able to comprehend the idea of no control. I very much appreciate the visualization of your sphere of influence and control. I'm a worrier so this resonates completely.

This all explains our (politicians) lack of success in the War on Drugs, Crime, Poverty, Homelessness, etc. They think they have control to resolve/fix these issues, but history shows the don't.

+tom holmes My understanding of the world and our existence might help you. I am a spiritual person, but I don't believe in or follow any religion. My understanding of my own existence is a mixture of spirituality and pure logic. Chaos theory proves that absolutely nothing about our Universe is random, this is further supported by the fact that it's impossible to program a random number generator that is TRULY random. Randomness is an impossibility in our Universe, which inherently implies that absolutely everything happens for a reason (and I mean EVERYTHING). This means that each individual life happens for a reason, which is another way of saying that every life has a PURPOSE. I believe that purpose is that WE ARE HERE TO LEARN, and that we take those lessons with us after we die. I believe growing out of the fear of death is a critical stage in the evolutionary development of sentient intelligent life in this universe. So WHY should we not fear death? Simple, the series of logical steps I just took you through should leave you with an understanding that the following two statements are OBJECTIVELY TRUE: 1. Death is not the end 2. We take our memories with us (wherever it is we go). If you understand the implications of Chaos Theory, then you will understand why those statements are as undeniable as a simple mathematical equation such as 2 + 2 = 4. Here's where my own personal spiritual beliefs come in: I believe that when we die we return to a higher level of conciousness, in the 4th and 5th dimensions. I also believe that our existence in this lower dimension is something that our higher dimensional selves have volunteered for, as there are lessons and knowledge that can only be acquired while living in this lowered state of conciousness. I believe the extremes of Joy, Pleasure, Glory, Anguish, Pain, and Suffering can only be experience in this lowered state of conciousness. It is that extreme balance of potentialities that makes existence in this level of conciousness the most bountiful source of knowledge and wisdom. Finally, I believe that it is extremely critical that we understand that it is our duty to do as much as we can to leave this world a better place than when we entered it. There is most likely great benefit for attempting to do so, and even greater benefits for actually succeeding. There may not be consequences for failing, but I'm sure that there are significant consequences for refusing to try.

No no no, you are wrong, it's a great speech. I got the points: a) there is nothing you can control except your attitude (view of things) and behaviour; b) you can only influence things that are not listed in a. You call it non-sense cause most likely you do not have anxiety disorders. If you had an anxiety problem you would understand immediately the point

I would have to disagree I know josh personally and what he says makes complete. sense what he Is saying is that we believe we have control over certain aspects in our life but things can intervene with what we beleive we have control over altering that control so our control is either nonexistent or limited

well it seemed like a pretty roundabout way of sayin that basic truth... wish he would've gone into how society controls us and that real freedom comes from overcoming those conventions. Maybe he could be the first to tie the psychology of socioppathic gangs to our present day regimes. Mind ya that would likely get his ted talk banned....

+joseph burns - He's basicaly saying in a game of poker u COULD lose with 3 A's, therefore u have no control. Wow... Who cares... It's more important to know all the other things going on in the game to determine what that 'could' actually means, and telling me to 'think positive, not negative' feels like he's talking to a bunch of 12 year olds...
