Conversation with Richard Saul Wurman "One Way": Richard Saul Wurman at TEDxGrandRapids

[@Rad-MindMatters]

I'm a big fan of TEDx and a big fan of Richard Saul Wurman. He created the TED conferences, the EG Conference, and TEDMED. He has written, designed, and published nearly a hundred books on varying topics about information architecture and information design and awarded several honorary doctorates.

6min 30sec had me sold! Love this analogy! Great depth in the structure of speech! You have taken a story to new dimensions for me! You literally told stories to back up the beginning of your story! i love this ability to keep an audience hanging in there! Charming even! Cant wait to hear the rest of this!

[@LoveNeverFails1]

Omg this man is awesome! He thinks similar to how I do. No invested interest in simply being right but instead simply an interest in finding the best way or right way to go forward. He was in Grand Rapids for this interview and I live in Grand Rapids! 7 years ago I was a new fan to TED talks and now recall the event. I wish I'd gone to this.

Very interesting and entertaining, what a man ❤

[@travelerchikk]

Have some flipping respect. Don’t you WISH you could have done as much as this man in his life so far . If he wants to talk. , yes I wish I’d know who he is, but I didn’t. I had the respect to LISTEN to the mans words regardless of my ignorance of this man’s brilliance . He calls anxiety the edge. Fantastic. I’m freaking frozen all my life in anxiety but if they’d called it edge. Thank you Larry.

[@michaeltownshend5029]

The boys used FREAKING 😂😂😂😂😂

[@sabelodlamini7091]

I could listen to this man speak for the whole day

[@femiaderewa3556]

what a wise man!

[@dba4a6d76]

Such Wisdom! If you are a person that requires perfection from your presenters you will miss the wisdom. Love the self reflection, the walks down memory lane, and even the pride related to doing important things. This speech requires a patient ear.

[@workathomestoners9154]

Enjoyed the conversation and Innovation is a gradual improvement of older ideas and inventions. Cheers!

[@charliewilkins8888]

That's so funny... My Grade School teacher had us sing that song. Good morning to you.

[@Jacobk-g7r]

10:02 i learned this in school. The teacher got mad because i didn’t show work and so i threw my homework away but i didn’t wanna show it because i didn’t wanna do the work lol. Honestly i just hoped she would let me answer without showing because it was work, nobody wants to work when forced. I also got bullied and those negative words hurt and sometimes they hurt too much but the push you because you hear what they say and it kinda pushes you and if you turn around and let it help then you have the power of humility and humility will allow you to let go and understand. Like a non Euclidean space attached to everywhere but itself is not anywhere but everywhere. It’s like sharing.

[@stephaniewright9390]

I truly enjoyed hearing about his experience.

[@lotsalove3289]

I love this guy

[@mauricegoz]

it was so annoying and so dearly appreciated

[@cc1k435]

😆 Good summary. 🤣

[@hassb00zy]

everybody in this planet is successful ❤

[@dylanpringle992]

he has wrk hard of what he did listen and do when one has kind wisdom its a gift

[@Abbysteel3456]

I love that you mentioned a joke.. so underrated.

[@wbespinoza10]

I love the exit song!!

[@riverafamily7]

Omg I would LOVE sitting and just talking with him. The two of us talkers together would be so much fun!!!!! Oh to plug into his brain!!!

[@LoveNeverFails1]

Me too!!! He's awesome!

the founder of TED X is a crazy man. didn't know that.

[@theelectricalternativellc.2116]

For the love of GOD!!!! Have a drink of water, man!!!!!!

[@vijayarya9528]

hmmmm... Thank u very all Ted very much

[@Jacobk-g7r]

2:07 The camera guy just starts coming over and taking off his gear to talk or something haha

[@SeaShellLeone]

i thoroughly enjoyed every part of this good talk! except for the part of equal pay supposedly but neither here nor there… i LOVED the chemistry between you guys and your song is great and richard was like a breath of fresh air, honestly i hope richard is still doing well today 🙏🏻 and if he had any eligible suitors like him but 35-40 years young he shld send them my way lol

[@salimhuerta2699]

Just like Saul I'm always making acronyms that explain some larger abstract concept. My dad's an architect and I wanted to be one for half my life so maybe it's something with architects. But what I do in my head is categorize everything you can imagine and then makes sure I don't fit into any of those categories or as few as possible.

[@mies626]

where are you now?

[@harrywebb6022]

Free Larry Hoover ! ! !

[@presentsthejargon]

It would be an honour to meet, talk & listen to Richard Saul Wurman. How can I meet him?🙂

[@GoBravesATL]

Man, this guy assigns a very high value to himself.

[@JeanCuillerier]

SO ?

[@SUZSMITH]

He assigns a very high value to everyone. He’s what you call one of the best of us. You live in Atlanta, am I right? Lol.

[@matthewmichealattard7602]

If you found a public speaking conference such as TED, which is popular, organised globally and easily accessible by the general public - it's well earned to assign high value to yourself.

[@goonerz5754]

Technology may have advanced enough to release civilization from the confines of the second law of thermodynamics. These confines were imposed during Victorian England's scientific and religious cultural fascination with steam engines. The second law is behind modern refgeration needing electrical energy to compress the refrigerent to force it to release as waste the heat that it has removed from the refrigerator's service interior in the cooling part of the refrigerent's circulation. There is also discarded heat from mechanical friction and electrical resistance. The total released and discarded heat minus the removed heat equal the electrical input but the attached conversion of electricity into heat is forced. Refrigeration by the principle that energy is conserved should produce electricity instead of consuming it. It makes more sense that refrigerators should yield electricity because energy is widely known to change form with no ultimate path of energy gain or loss being found. Therefore any form of fully recyclable energy can be cycled endlessly in any quantity. In an extreme case senario, full heat recycling, all electric, very isolated underground, undersea, or space communities would be highly survivable with self sufficient EMP resistant LED light banks, automated vertical farms, thaw resistant frozen food storehouses, factories, dwellings, and self contained elevators and horizontal transports. In a flourishing civillization senario, small self sufficient electric or cooling devices of many kinds and styles like lamps, smartphones, hotplates, water heaters, cooler chests, fans, radios, TVs, cameras, security devices, robot test equipment, scales, transaction terminals, wall clocks, open or ciosed for business luminus signs, power hand tools, ditch diggers, pumps, and personal transports, would be available for immediate use incrementally anywhere as people see fit. Some equipment groups could be consolidated on local networks. If a high majority thinks our civilization should geoengineer gigatons or teratons of carbon dioxide out of our environment, instalations using devices that convert ambient heat into electricity can hypothetically be scaled up do it with a choice of comsequences including many beneficial ones. Energy sensible refrigerators that absorb heat and yield electricity would complement computers as computing consumes electricity and yields heat. Computing would be free. Chips could have energy recycling built in. A simple rectifier crystal can, iust short of a replicatable long term demonstration of a powerful prototype, almost certainly filter the random thermal motioren of electrons or discrete positiive charged voids called holes so the electric current flowing in one direction predominates. At low system voltage a filtrate of one polarity predominates only a little but there is always usable electrical power derived from the source, which is Johnson Nyquest thermal electrical noise. This net electrical filtrate can be aggregated in a group of separate diodes in consistent alignment parallel creating widely scalable electrical power. The maximum energy is converted from ambient heat to productive electricity when the electrical load is matched to the array impeadence. Matched impeadence output (watts) is k (Boltźman's constant), one point three eight x 10^ minus 23, times T (temperature Kelvin) times bandwidth (0 Hz to a natural limit ~2 THz @ 290 K) times rectification halving and nanowatt power level rectification efficiency, times the number of diodes in the array. For reference, there are a billion cells of 1000 square nanometer area each per square millimeter, 100 billion per square centimeter. Order is imposed on the random thermal motion of electrons by the structual orderlyness of a diode array made of diodes made within a slab: ______________________ - Out 🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻 ______________________ + Out All the P type semiconductor anodes abut a metal conductive plane deposited on the top face of the slab with nonrectifying joins; all the N type semiconductor cathodes abut the bottom face. As the polarity filtered electrical energy is exported, the amount of thermal energy in the group of diodes decreases. This group cooling will draw heat in from the surrounding ambient heat at a rate depending on the filtering rate and thermal resistance between the group and ambient gas, liquid, or solid warmer than absolute zero. There is a lot of ambient heat on our planet, more in equatorial dry desert summer days and less in polar desert winter nights. Focusing on explaining the electronic behavior of one composition of simple diode, a near flawless crystal of silicon is modified by implanting a small amount of phosphorus (N type)on one side from a ohmic contact end to a junction where the additive is suddenly and completely changed to boron (P type) with minimal disturbance of the crystal lattice. The crystal then continues to another ohmic contact. A region of high electrical resistance forms at the junction in this type of diode when the phosphorous near the ĵunction donates electrons that are free to move elsewhere while leaving phosphorus ions held in the crystal while the boron donates holes which are similalarly free to move. The two types of mobile charges mutually clear each other away near the junction leaving little electrical conductivity. An equlibrium width of this region is settled between the phosphorus, boron, electrons, and holes. Thermal noise is beyond steady state equlibrium. Thermal noise transients, where mobile electrons move from the phosphorus added side to the boron added side ride transient extra conductivity so the forward moving electrons are preferentally filtered into the external circuit. Mobile electrons are units of electric current. They lose their thermal energy of motion and gain electromotive force, another name for voltage, as they transition between the junction and the array electrical tap. Inside the diode, heat is absorbed: outside the diode, to exactly the same extent, an attached electrical circuit is energized. The voltage of a diode array is likely to be small so many similar arrays need to be put in series to build higher voltage. Understanding diodes is one way to become convinced that Johnson Nyquest thermal electrical noise can be rectified and aggregated. Self assembling development teams may find many ways to accomplish this wide mission. Taxonomically there should be many ways ways to convert heat directly into electricity. A practical device may use an array of Au needles in a SiO2 matrix abutting N type GaAs. These were made in the 1970s when registration technology was poor so it was easier to fabricate arrays and select one diode than just make one diode. There are other plausible breeches of the second law of thermodynamics. Hopefully a lot of people will join in expanding the breech. Please share the successes or setbacks of your efforts. These devices would probably become segmented commodities sold with minimal margin over supply cost. They would be manufactured by advanced automation that does not need financial incentive. Applicable best practices would be adopted. Business details would be open public knowledge. Associated people should move as negotiated and freely and honestly talk. Commerce would be a planetary scale unified conglomerate of diverse local cooperatives. There is no need of wealth extracting top commanders. We do not need often token philanthropy from the top if the wide majority of people can afford to be generous. Aloha Charles M Brown Kilauea Kauai Hawaii 96754

Good content, hadn't worked his diet out yet tho? Maybe a little judgemental of me but a man's health reflects his true wealth. I apologise if you have anything rare or genetic. But Majority of the time it's diet based, and I find it difficult to take advice from one who cannot maintain his own health. Apologies if I offend anyone to harshly.

[@joshaustin9119]

Said almost the same thing about Vervaeke. Health is wealth. Everything else: conjecture
