Great TED talk on how we experience the world.

In the speaker's example, would we choose to take the same vacation if we knew that afterwards all photos and any memories of it would be destroyed?

The difference in the vacation chosen when we know we will have memories of it, and when we know we will just experience the present as it passes, shows the contrast between the experiencing and the remembering self.

The implications to human happiness are worth reflecting upon.

In particular, goals and money seem to satisfy the remembering self while spending time with people we like satisfies the experiencing self.

Watching this is an excellent way to spend 10 min of your time.

It is amazing to think one person is behind this. A glimpse to a very possible future where our interactions with computers will be more natural.

The mentality and proposed business plan is also commendable. Like many idealistic situations, I am not sure how well it is catching on.

Best of the 10 (!) talks I watched on the train on the way back from London.

From Kemal Ataturk's ingenious strategy to stop women from using a veil, to convincing people to eat potatoes, to rebranding of square cereal as diamond cereal.

How to change peoples' perception of something, as in advertising, but for making a better world. Very entertaining and thought-provoking.

After this video, folding T-shirts will never be the same again.

I have watched it many times and can never do it out of memory, even though it seems so simple.

Very radical idea. Let videos do the teaching to allow the teachers to do the human interaction.
