👁Don't ask where I'm from, ask where I'm a local

Writer Taiye Selasi speaks on behalf of \"multi-local\" people, who feel at home in the town where they grew up, the city they live now and maybe another place or two. \"How can I come from a country?\" she asks. \"How can a human being come from a concept?\"

👁Why the \"wrong side of the tracks\" is usually the east side of cities
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣What do communities on the social, economic and environmental margins have in common? For one thing, they tend to be on the east sides of cities. In this short talk about a surprising insight, anthropologist and venture capitalist Stephen DeBerry explains how both environmental and man-made factors have led to disparity by design in cities from East Palo Alto, California to East Jerusalem and beyond -- and suggests some elegant solutions to fix it.

👁Why the secret to success is setting the right goals
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Our leaders and institutions are failing us, but it's not always because they're bad or unethical, says venture capitalist John Doerr -- often, it's simply because they're leading us toward the wrong objectives. In this practical talk, Doerr shows us how we can get back on track with \"Objectives and Key Results,\" or OKRs -- a goal-setting system that's been employed by the likes of Google, Intel and Bono to set and execute on audacious goals. Learn more about how setting the right goals can mean the difference between success and failure -- and how we can use OKRs to hold our leaders and ourselves accountable.

👁The nightmare videos of children's YouTube -- and what's wrong with the internet today
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English

👣Writer and artist James Bridle uncovers a dark, strange corner of the internet, where unknown people or groups on YouTube hack the brains of young children in return for advertising revenue. From \"surprise egg\" reveals and the \"Finger Family Song\" to algorithmically created mashups of familiar cartoon characters in violent situations, these videos exploit and terrify young minds -- and they tell us something about where our increasingly data-driven world is headed. \"We need to stop thinking about technology as a solution to all of our problems, but think of it as a guide to what those problems actually are, so we can start thinking about them properly and start to address them,\" Bridle says.

👁To solve mass violence, look to locals
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English

👣Severine Autesserre studies the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is in the middle of the deadliest conflict since World War II; it's been called \"the largest ongoing humanitarian crisis in the world.” The conflict seems hopelessly, unsolvably large. But her insight from decades of listening and engaging: The conflicts are often locally based. And instead of focusing on solutions that scale to a national level, leaders and aid groups might be better served solving local crises before they ignite.

👁Let's not use Mars as a backup planet

🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Stellar astronomer and TED Senior Fellow Lucianne Walkowicz works on NASA's Kepler mission, searching for places in the universe that could support life. So it's worth a listen when she asks us to think carefully about Mars. In this short talk, she suggests that we stop dreaming of Mars as a place that we'll eventually move to when we've messed up Earth, and to start thinking of planetary exploration and preservation of the Earth as two sides of the same goal. As she says, \"The more you look for planets like Earth, the more you appreciate our own planet.\"

👁Why you should make useless things
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣In this joyful, heartfelt talk featuring demos of her wonderfully wacky creations, Simone Giertz shares her craft: making useless robots. Her inventions -- designed to chop vegetables, cut hair, apply lipstick and more -- rarely (if ever) succeed, and that's the point. \"The true beauty of making useless things [is] this acknowledgment that you don't always know what the best answer is,\" Giertz says. \"It turns off that voice in your head that tells you that you know exactly how the world works. Maybe a toothbrush helmet isn't the answer, but at least you're asking the question.\"
