The Paradox of Choice from TED.com

This video is an amazing talk on why having more choices makes us so darn miserable. This is from TED.com, which I’ll sum up this way: take the most brilliant people alive, and give them 18 minutes to do one speech on anything. The results are amazing, they give them away on Ted, and it beats watching the news.

Think of this amazing fact: these types of talks, by these kinds of minds, were once reserved for the elite – only the rich and powerful could ever hear such things. Now it is available for free to anyone with an Internet connection – and the site ranks 2,152 by Quantcast.

Perez Hilton ranks at 270.

Are we focusing on the wrong things?
