OK, I've watched a few before the list was created, but this is my first I've watched in the official period. And of course I started with the first in the alphabet:
'4 Ways to Help the Bottom Billion.' Was it the blast of insane knowledge I was hoping for? Well, it wasn't really my favourite topic (the political and economical ways of closing the gap between poor and rich? Important, but not in my selection of Sunday Reading Topics) but it was certainly more interesting than I thought it would be. Noted in my new document to record my watching:
More interesting than I thought it would be. He himself said that he saw a comment on his video along the lines of 'Collier is not charismatic. But his arguments are compelling'. Close to the truth, although not a bad talker really.
If you're really interested in philanthropy, this would certainly be of large interest. No, it wasn't the insane blast of knowledge I was hoping for, but it was definitely a good start to my TED watching. Might provide a useful buffer for the not-so-good ones.
