TED Talks Controversy
In the latter half of the first hour, researcher and filmmaker Suzanne Taylor revealed controversies with the TED Talks program. She was hired to produce TEDx events in West Hollywood, based on her proposal to present expansive ideas, with such luminaries as physicist Russell Targ, an expert on psi abilities, and Dr. Larry Dossey, known for his work on the healing power of prayer. But a cadre of people within the TED organization decided her program was too fringe, even though she was planning on presenting highly credentialed people, and she was dropped. Earlier, TED had pulled a presentation by Rupert Sheldrake from their site. A protest and petition regarding TED's activities in this regard can be found at setsciencefree.org.

What an honor to have Suzanne Taylor comment on The Ronnie Republic....always very interested in what she has to say as she has been a favorite speaker on Coast to Coast AM for a very long time. On the chromebook when I clicked on her link it did not work so then I simply copied and pasted it into my browser and everything worked just fine.
