Adapting to knowledge

Technology, Entertainment & Design are what TED stands for. And I wonder how I could create an aesthetically and aurally pleasing result by adding an S. STED, TSED, TEDS? I can’t decide. But this addition is definitely needed. Maybe it should have been added from the beginning, but surely the influencers found in the other fields were more accustomed to social media.

This is changing, and that’s reassuring. The moment when Science holds the biggest influence has come, because its implications are based on experimentally proven data. They’re not an outcome of aestheticism or estimations, nor a trend or a temporary hit. They’re ideas, experiments, implications that aim for something and originate from somewhere. Scientists’ suggestions and experiments, their discoveries and their work will interest, totally correctly and logically, many TED & TEDx events in the future.

It’s time to showcase stories and experiences, to emphasize ideas and actions of people who are responsible for our species’ evolution. It’s such an easy, yet complex task. It’s also time for them to motivate themselves to share their scientific knowledge with other people. It’s time to popularise science on the TED and TEDx red carpet. In that way, people will later comprehend everything they can’t explain. And they will get the word out that trusting scientists is a fundamental element for our evolution. They will embrace the idea that there is no good or bad science, but good and bad people.

“We’re adapting to knowledge”
– Sotiris Tsiodras

It might not be particularly appealing to deal with things you don’t comprehend, but you can at least stop dreading them through knowledge. You can acknowledge and trust those who are responsible for our life and its evolution.

It’s time then for TED to broadcast, to spread and to inform through the scientists’ very own science. It’s time to feature stories, through people in hospitals, health clinics, and every kind of health service, that will inspire all of us to feel that we share these problems. And in that way, all together, each one from their own bulwark, we’re adding our own perspective to evolve our lives. Science is away from conspiracy theories but close to ideas of success and bliss. Away from the fear of the unknown but yearning to discover what’s new. And all that because we need to inspire the next residents of this planet, our own children, with our ideas. S is for Science, then.
