TED: Ken Robinson
The TED talk I watched this evening is from 2006, and by Sir Ken Robinson.
I found his talk insightful and funny. I actually came away from it thinking about how often older people express their concern for how younger generations will dead with the world they've left them. I can't really sympathize with that because I neither feel burdened by the world I'm in nor do I feel (yet) significant concern for future generations. I am, however, eagerly considering in what ways my own education may have limited my own range of intellectual expression.

It saddens me that the dialogue associated with the TED talks is less constructive than it might be. It’s generally civil, but still has the “arguing on the internet” flavor, with proof by assertion as the overwhelming rhetorical technique.
I’d be interested in a more long-form collection of thoughts on how your education may have limited your range of intellectual expression.
