| The injustice of "policing for profit" -- and how to end it | Dick M. Carpenter II | Many countries have an active, centuries-old law that allows government agencies to take your things -- your house, your car, your business -- without ever convicting you of a crime. Law researcher Dick M. Carpenter II exposes how this practice of civil forfeiture threatens your rights and creates a huge monetary incentive for law enforcement to pocket your possessions -- and he lays out a path to end "policing for profit" once and for all. | 2020-04-28 | 00:12:54 | Ficha Vídeo |
| The dirty secret of capitalism -- and a new way forward | Nick Hanauer | Rising inequality and growing political instability are the direct result of decades of bad economic theory. In a visionary talk, he dismantles the mantras that capital creates economic growth, that self interest, competition and "greed is good" -- an idea he describes as not only morally corrosive, but also scientifically wrong. Markets are not an efficient equilibrium system, the price is not equal as value, wages are a direct result of worker's bargaining power, and human don't behave as selfish "homo economicus" but as highly cooperative and reciprocal that compete in increasingly larger groups. | 2019-09-13 | 00:17:04 | Ficha Vídeo |
| Is civility a sham? | Teresa Bejan | What exactly is civility, and what does it require? In a talk packed with historical insights, political theorist Teresa Bejan explains how civility has been used as both the foundation of tolerant societies and as a way for political partisans to silence and dismiss opposing views. Bejan suggests that we should instead try for "mere civility": the virtue of being able to disagree fundamentally with others without destroying the possibility of a common life tomorrow. (This talk contains mature language.) | 2018-11-14 | 00:13:54 | Ficha Vídeo |
| My journey to thank all the people responsible for my morning coffee | AJ Jacobs | Author AJ Jacobs embarked on a quest with a deceptively simple idea at its heart: to personally thank every person who helped make his morning cup of coffee. More than one thousand "thank yous" later, Jacobs reflects on the globe-trotting journey that ensued -- and shares the life-altering wisdom he picked up along the way. "I discovered that my coffee would not be possible without hundreds of people I take for granted," Jacobs says. | 2018-11-13 | 00:15:30 | Ficha Vídeo |
| What if we ended the injustice of bail? | Robin Steinberg | On any given night, more than 450,000 people in the United States are locked up in jail simply because they don't have enough money to pay bail. The sums in question are often around $500: easy for some to pay, impossible for others. This has real human consequences -- people lose jobs, homes and lives, and it drives racial disparities in the legal system. Robin Steinberg has a bold idea to change this. In this powerful talk, she outlines the plan for The Bail Project -- an unprecedented national revolving bail fund to fight mass incarceration. Her ambitious plan is one of the first ideas of the Audacious Project, TED's new initiative to inspire global change. | 2018-04-13 | 00:15:11 | Ficha Vídeo |

| We're building a dystopia just to make people click on ads | Zeynep Tufekci | We're building an artificial intelligence-powered dystopia, one click at a time, says techno-sociologist Zeynep Tufekci. In an eye-opening talk, she details how the same algorithms companies like Facebook, Google and Amazon use to get you to click on ads are also used to organize your access to political and social information. And the machines aren't even the real threat. What we need to understand is how the powerful might use AI to control us -- and what we can do in response. | 2017-10-27 | 00:22:55 | Ficha Vídeo |

| Telephone spam/scam problem? Bring in the robots | Roger Anderson | What about using the same technology phone spammers/scammers use, and turn it against them? The results can be quite entertaining. Roger Anderson is a tinkerer, podcaster, and founder of the Jolly Roger Telephone Company, which works to disrupt the unsolicited telemarketing industry by creating unique ways to deal with auto and predictive dialers, soundboards, and cold callers. Having two land-line telephones for decades, Roger would often receive telemarketer calls and shrug them off. When his son became old enough to answer the phone, the boy received a call from a very aggressive telemarketer who said enough “bad words” for Roger to start looking for a solution. Since then, Roger has undertook a crusade to understand how auto and predictive dialing works and create technologies that circumvent, disrupt, trick, and challenge the unsolicited telemarketing industry. | 2016-12-07 | 00:14:02 | Vídeo |

Activist Toni Mac explains four legal models that are being used around the world and shows us the model that she believes will work best to keep sex workers safe and offer greater self-determination. "If you care about gender equality or poverty or migration or public health, then sex worker rights matter to you," she says. "Make space for us in your movements."

| How to stay calm when you know you'll be stressed | Daniel Levitin | You're not at your best when you're stressed. In fact, your brain has evolved over millennia to release cortisol in stressful situations, inhibiting rational, logical thinking but potentially helping you survive, say, being attacked by a lion. Neuroscientist Daniel Levitin thinks there's a way to avoid making critical mistakes in stressful situations, when your thinking becomes clouded -- the pre-mortem. "We all are going to fail now and then," he says. "The idea is to think ahead to what those failures might be." | 2015-10-30 | 00:12:20 | Ficha Vídeo |
