Unintentional "Dark Futurist", Stephen Petranek, re-visits the subject matter of his original eleven year old TED Talk and offers the audience an extraordinarily sobering look at the eight critical issues that threaten human life on Earth.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Here in 2022, this feels like he was too optimistic.

It's wild that this was uploaded 8 years ago. It's scary how accurate a lot of his predictions are regarding a world wide pandemic.

I love his approach to how something went negative for him, don't hide from it, talk about it and challenge it, it's great

Every disaster starts with a politician ignoring a scientist.

2014: "Pandemic? This isn't a movie. It'll never happen." 2020: "Pandemic! This is like a movie! I can believe this is happening!"

Now I know where the screenplay for UP came from. I am glad I am 82 but fear for the world to come for my sons and grand kids. Great, informative talk.
