NOTE: Comments are disabled on this video. We made this difficult decision for the TED Archives because we believe that a well-moderated conversation allows for better commentary from more people and more perspectives. Studies show that aggressive, hateful comments silence other commenters and drive them away; Unfortunately, YouTube's comment moderation tools simply aren't up to the task of allowing us to monitor comments on so many videos at once. (We'd love to see this change, YouTube.) So for now, if you'd like to comment on this conference, please use Facebook, Twitter, or G to chat with your networks.
