TEDtalks is the greatest website on the internet - a binge on brilliance, if you will.
Get inebriated* - drink's on me.
Johanna Blakely: Lessons from Fashion's Free Culture
Crazy interesting. A must-watch for shoppers, couture connoisseurs, and budding designers. Blakely's talk explores the fashion industry's lack of copyright protection, delving into topics such as copyright law, the driving forces behind innovation, and the distinctions between art forms that are and aren't utilitarian.
Edith Widder: Glowing Life in an Underwater World
We live in a beautiful world. That said, most of us aren't able to experience the full of it, as the average person cannot plunge thousands of feet into the ocean. Luckily, Edith Widder has caught some such wonders on film for us. The creatures she features are ridiculous.
Magnus Larsson: Turning Dunes into Architecture
This is probably my favorite TEDtalk, along with Miru Kim's talk on self-portraiture and abandoned buildings. Larsson discusses a brilliant yet counterintuitive idea: using the desert itself to prevent desertification.
*Which is to say, get erudite. When it comes to all things literal, please: drink responsibly. Juice is my personal favorite.
