Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.The story of Diogenes walking around with a lamp in the daytime. It's not mentioned in this interesting video. He was looking for an honest man that he would never find. He was a cynic. That's me. I hate people. I'm like Larry David without the money.

It is referenced breifly toward the end of the video when discussing Nietzsche's reimagining of Diogenes. I grew up in a region of the country where a tiny, yellow lily commonly known as Diogenes' Lantern is found--I never knew the story behind it until now.

This is the first TED talk I have watched that didn't seem like someone "beating their chest" about 'one thing or another', and it didn't take the full time allowed.

@LetzGetReal I have seen a few good ones, but the "E" is for 'entertainment' (technology, entertainment, design).
