Yet More New Age Crap

I know that I’ve often referred to presentations from TED before as being stimulating and illuminating. Well, a lot of them are. But TED being TED, they also have their share of absolute clinkers in there. Here’s Elizabeth Gilbert demonstrating what happens when you switch your brain off. Dreadful new age woo of the worst kind. And she gets a standing ovation? I despair of our ability to advance. Clearly, the ability to pay $6,000 for a seat at TED is in no way related to rational intelligence.

 

Black Sun Journal thinks so too, and dissects it better than I.
