 Level: 0 CS Original | So TZM is in full climax over the news that PJ will be on TED.
But I thought this was odd since he is not an expert on anything (except maybe the xylophone) and he actively promotes pseudoscience. However, it turns out that he is going to be at TEDx, not TED. TEDx is independent from TED and is a way for anyone to put together a conference on any subject (TED just shows you how to organize the event). Not only is it not TED, it is in Portugal. It is kinda like me saying I play Major League Baseball when all I am doing is playing a pick-up game with my friends using the MLB rulebook. My question is does anyone have info on this? And does anyone want to put on a counter TEDx conference that just debunks everything PJ says at his TEDx event? | |||||

 Genuine American Monster Level: 70 CS Original | Who is eligible for a license? Anyone, anywhere in the world, is eligible for a license to organize a TEDx event. However, TED holds the following exceptions: * Organizers under age 18 must be supervised by an adult. http://www.ted.com/pages/organize_tedx_event</p> ----- I think someone should email TED and let them know what's going on, because TZM clearly violates their terms of use. | |||||

Level: 9 CS Original | Man, that would be awesome if we managed to shut down all those TZM'ers with an email. I nominate Muertos as he most definitely has a way with words. | |||||

Genuine American Monster Level: 70 CS Original | I don't think it would be very hard. TZM is in clear violation of bullet points 2, 3 and 4. | |||||

 Paid Disinformation Blogger Level: 14 CS Original | Someone provide me a run-down on how to complain to TEDx, or an email address to send it to, and I'll be happy to draft the complaint. | |||||

 Level: 6 CS Original | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1hLzQPio_8 TEDx seems to have pretty loose restrictions. And with that comes a loss of credibility, so I'd just let them air their eye-opening speech and watch it vanish without any impact. | |||||

 Ordo Ab Chao. Level: 8 CS Original | Richard Dawkins had one on militant atheism... Does that violate the terms of use? If it does, then maybe TED isn't so hot about restrictions. | |||||

Level: 2 CS Original | If TED shuts him down, PJ will just claim that TED is part of a corrupt system of mentally handicapped shills, he will then use it as "evidence" of a bigger conspiracy. But go ahead it sounds fun. | |||||
