My point is that if I were doing talks these days I’d look at a few of these YouTubes and see how it’s done. The basis is that’s it’s got to be really, really stimulating. So they’ll have people from any area of modern thinking. M: The letters stand for Technology, Entertainment, Design. She talked for eighteen minutes, too, like Bolte-Taylor. Allende, a Chilean writer, wrote books reviewers called “magical realism” -right up our alley, Steven. I’ve seen Bolte-Taylor’s talk and Isabel Allende’s talk. They work with that and work out the bugs until it’s smooth and really goes well. They make their speakers hone their talks down to eighteen minutes. So you have to pay a lot of money to go there, and you’re not going to want to hear somebody rambling on. They charge a bundle to attend one of their conferences down around Big Sur, originally, but now annually in Long Beach.
TED really works with a speaker to make the presentation compelling. I do want to tell you, also, that if I were giving talks to an audience these days, that the way they’ve set up the TED talks, like that YouTube I sent you of Jill Bolte-Taylor talking about her book My Stroke of Insight is how I’d try to do it. It’s as relevant as if he were a modern thinker. M: I was thinking about your talk at the Unitarian-Universalist Church “Leaving God for God” recently, and I thought, here you are talking about Meister Eckhart ( 1260-1328), who was preaching a little before Geoffrey Chaucer’s time ( 1343-1400), and it’s really relevant to a contemporary audience.
