Aw man, I've been watching TED like non stop the past week
other good ones:

Sir Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity
"All kids have talent, and we squander them, pretty ruthlessly... Creativity is as important as literacy, we should treat it with the same status." Pretty funny at times, but also quite powerful.

http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/...ew_science.html - A really good speaker talking about the (near) future of the technological revolution, building limbs, organs, miniature robots and artificial senses, all stuff that is happening today but is changing the way we will live our futures.

(watching the next three in succession will warp your brain)

1 - Malcolm Gladwell on spaghetti sauce
Basically, how did the experimental psychologist Howard Moskowitz change the food industry, and what does his data help with our search for happiness?

2 - Dan Gilbert - Why are we happy? Why aren't we happy?
How does happiness compare between two people who make a choice under these conditions: one is stuck with the decision forever, and the other is given the opportunity to change their mind later?

3 - Barry Schwartz - The paradox of choice
Freedom of choice.. does more choice really make us happy? Really now? Really?? Are you sure??

And comedy option:

John Hodgman's brief digression
John Hodgman being John Hodgman. It's not all that scientific, it doesn't have to be. It's John Hodgman!

Not only is he great on Dirty Jobs. He has one of the best voices for Narration I've ever heard. His narration and point of view on 'The Deadliest Catch' is half the reason I watch that show.

I feel like he's narrated other TV shows as well, but cannot think of any names.

Shoot me if im wrong, we have british narration of Mythbusters so I don't know who narrates the american version, but I think I remember seeing Mike Rowes name in the credits at the end of the show.

This one is really good.

My memory is pretty shitty on this, but there was a really good, older (from prob. a couple of years ago?) TED Talks with a guy who was terminally ill and I wanna say he was talking about 'achieving your dreams' or something like that. I randomly remember him saying as a joke that he wanted to be an astronaut when he was a kid, not like that helps...It was a very good speech, and the guy ended up passing away shortly afterwards. Been searching but I can't find it, anyone know which?

Search "Ray Kurzweil". He talks about crazy future technological stuff too. It's older than this vid though so it'll be nice to hear about what has changed in the past 2 years.

Yup, that's it, thanks! My mistake, wasn't a TED Talks.
