Over a thousand 15-20min presentations on almost any topic imaginable in a variety of disciplines. http://www.ted.com/themes

"TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences -- the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh UK each summer -- TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and TED Conversations, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize."

Like anything else some are bad, bad speakers etc. Al Gore speaks in one, But there are also some gems. Some examples from YT.

Very entertaining, but extremely heavy on the transhumanism.
