  I often find the comments more enlightening than just the articles 
because you can get a brain-trust thing happening to extend the 
analysis. That's what I found about this article and also a follow up 
on Forbes.

Here's the transcript of the Ted talk that was posted on National Review:

That is worth reading to get a different sense of the meaning. I 
didn't watch the video because if the person isn't good at delivery, 
the meaning can get lost. I find what he has put out there to be 
reasonably sound on the face of it, particularly the point about 
businesses *resisting* hiring as much as possible, which makes 
logical sense from a business perspective when dealing with potential 
on-going costs/overhead/productivity measures (Australia's euphemism for it).

I can't wait for the TED talk about the fall of Facebook (dotcom bust take 2).

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
