J. D. Stembal Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Harris: "We were able to provide top quality care regardless of ability to pay. It was so cool! We targeted the typical health disparities: access to care, immunization rates, asthma hospitalization rates, and we hit all of our numbers. We felt very proud of ourselves!" I enjoyed the talk, but what is it about TED that attracts statists and leftists like flies to manure?

I enjoyed the talk, but what is it about TED that attracts statists and leftists like flies to manure? TED's mission statement begins, "TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world." While this could come across as them believing in wizardry (change the world with words), at least they say they want to be non-partisan and only support peer-reviewed research in their talks. But if you look at the "Brain Trust" that advises them you get a lot of left flavor: http://www.ted.com/about/our-organization/how-ted-works/ted-brain-trust The bias is subtle, but all organizations should be viewed skeptically. They're hardly to the left of CNN or MSNBC. 1
J. D. Stembal Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Bill Gates and Steven Pinker... Now, I'm not so surprised at the leftist slant.
