Talk event

[Sam]

Could we have or do we have a TED like talk event in Changchun, not necessarily limited to Tech/Entertainment/Design but including city life, chinese culture, business ideas etc.

This could be a fun session on the weekends/once a week kind of talks.

If this idea is buzy, we can talk on more ideations and suggestions.

Come on Choonies. Things may follow!

Good idea!

I think it would be good to set up a group - changchun TED - and ask people to suggest areas they would be willing to give a talk on. Willing to give a talk!

Yes i believe ideas will float in. People here would have a lot to share.

Once we have 4-5 ideas we can organize the first session. 

But before that, Richard can we pull in more people and let them know about this ?

Lets take more reactions, what say ?

I have been musing on the concept of which comes first or which is more important - freedom or equality?


I want to run with this Sam great idea.

Set up a group rather than just a blog. Then we can start putting up ideas.

I have been musing on the concept of which is more important - freedom or equality..?

Here is a video of Milton Friedman discussing this very idea ( unfortunately you need to Youtube to see it)

Here is Milton Friedman arguing that freedom is important:

And here is a debate:

Hope we can move this forward.

I have many other ideas to talk about!

Apologies for repeating myself in the last blog but cannot be bothered to go and correct. The meaning should still be clear!
