TED Talks Daily · Everything is improvisation — including this TED Talk | Reggie Watts · 2 Oct 2024 podcast

You have to actually lift your hand from where it was resting on your lap, and you have to avoid the desk, because if you just directly raised your hand, you would just come in contact with some wood.

and then you'd have to move around that and navigate it, and then you'd have to grab that pencil and know where it is and generally the feel of it so that you're familiar with it and you know that you're grabbing the right thing if you happen to not be looking at it while you're just kind of gracefully handing someone something from another desk.

So with that, I would like to demonstrate how that comes into being by doing this.

So this is what I expect all of you guys to be doing at the end of this session.

All the things that you're hearing, just remember them and reflect them back in a way that you think is creative, as though you've been given a box of Legos that have been dismantled and no longer a part of any particular package that you bought previously.

So the instructions make no longer any sense.

And just dump them on the ground and see what you can come up with.

Now, because of that principle, I have adapted three out of six of the former principles that I used to talk about at TED Talks, and this is my seventh TED Talk.

I...

usually skip the the last two and i'm going to include these two right now by going back two measures in time and reallocating that space uh in a way that might be a little bit more comprehensive to some of you who are wondering what exactly is happening um i don't know if you remember this song but i think it'll come back pretty quick

Yeah, yeah, right.

All the people at TED doing all that they do when they're doing it well, when they're doing it do.

Like technology, yeah, it's real cool and stuff.

I like my entertainment and my design as well.

Yo, I'm launching satellites to monitor the methane.

Everyone's looking, they're looking at all the methane.

You can't complain if you're monitoring the methane.

The methane's the method of the madness, you know, like a match.

See what happens with that methane.

You never know.
