ABOUT
TED2019: Bigger Than Us
On Thursday 25 April, at Workshop17 West Street, situated on 138 West Street, in the heart of Sandton, TEDxJohannesburg once again brings you an exclusive, unedited stream of our favourite highlights from TED2019: Bigger Than Us, taking place just a week earlier in Vancouver, Canada.
The theme ‘Bigger Than Us’ can mean so many things. AI. The arc of history. Ideas and things at a giant scale. Cosmology. Grand ambition. An antidote to narcissism. Moral purpose…. Because, as the TED2019 positioning statement has it, the political and technological turmoil of the past few years is causing us to ask bigger, deeper, more challenging questions. Like … where is this heading? what really matters? is there more I should be doing? Together, we’ll be exploring technologies that evoke wonder and tantalise with superhuman powers, mind-bending science that will drive the future as significantly as any politician, the design of cities and other powerful human systems that shape our lives, awe-inspiring, mind-expanding creativity and, most of all, the inspiring possibilities that happen when we ask what ideas are truly worth fighting for, worth living for ...
