Making the Quantum Leap
“More for you is more for me.” Charles Eisenstein
Brother Can You Spare a Paradigm? will deal with the need for a change in our fundamental value system or worldview in which humanity pulls together, superseding the current worldview in which whoever has the most toys wins. The new ideation will be based on what science tells us is a quantum universe, with everything be
ing interconnected and interdependent — one organism that needs to function for the good of the whole. A new science-based vision won’t take hold, though, unless people know it exists, and bringing about a new cultural understanding is what some presentations will focus on. Other presentations will provide models for what we would do if we were thinking along different lines. Given TED’s outreach, hopefully our program will impact the world’s thinking about who we are as humanity, and impress everyone with practical programs and technologies that can be implemented in communities everywhere.
“Whatever the problem, community is the answer.” Meg Wheatley
Why is TED so successful in drawing people to live events? We have TV for TED talks, not to mention all the other info that comes to us from the tube. Coming to live events must be about mingling. We hope this will be the first of many TEDx West Hollywood events so that an activist community develops. Be prepared not only to be informed, but to share yourself as you engage with each other.
