Brutal truths
I'll start:
Anyone who sends me a link to a video of a TED talk is a wanker.
Otter : Take it easy, I'm pre-law.
Boon : I thought you were pre-med.
Otter : What's the difference?

Apart from the deleted Ayahuasca one...and the Rodney Mullen one...but yes I agree.

A few megatons of nuclear warhead aimed at The Burning Man festival would not necessarily be a bad thing.

I've never seen any of those TED Talks, but I do know there's millions of them on Netflix.

Re: Brutal truths
I think soap and water would achieve the same effect at Burning Man, and be a lot less harmful to the environment.
I have come to dislike TED talks because I have suffered through presentations in which the lazy presenter shows a TED talk, invariably about how great everything will be when everything is online and the fridge tells me when I need to buy milk. I don't need 20 minutes of some putz in a t-shirt telling me this. And I sure as hell don't need to sit through the presenter talking about the same shit for 20 minutes on either side of the goddamn TED talk.
So there.
You know what else really annoys me? Anything sold as artisanal, heritage, small batch, sustainable, farm-to-table, organic, etc. I sneak up behind the bearded dork peddling this bullshit and whisper "Monsanto!"
Just follow the Bouncing Hipster.
Gaaah

That vintage watch you bought probably isn't going to increase in value in your lifetime.

Re: Brutal truths
Its quite a good little start up hence the explosion in it...you're not someone in this world, or at least in East London until youve got a niche start up artisan company...could be worse could be a restaurant based around cereals.

Re: Brutal truths
Thus I conclude that Dante would have had added some circles of Hell for Burning Man and TED devotees. I associate the adjective "stultifying" with TED, mostly due to the effect of the incredible pretense of talks which seem to come from the realm of marketing and business development.
As for Burning Man, it has become a humorous observation that Burning Man is the only time you can find a parking space in SF without too much of a hassle.
