Ignorance: Is It Really Bliss? A Deeper Analysis | Aidan Miller | TEDxValenciaHighSchool

Ignorant behavior is all around us every day of the year. While it can entice us to learn and thrive, it more often that not results in bitter, hateful disagreement. Aidan Miller explains what these behaviors mean and how to circumvent their dire consequences. Aidan Miller is sixteen years old and attends eleventh grade at Valencia High School. Though not currently enrolled in the IB program, he strives to embrace the message of well-roundedness his Pre-IB teachers taught. In his free time, Aidan enjoys doing amateur chemistry, collecting 1950’s records, analyzing current events, exploring desolate parts of the Mojave Desert, and playing computer games with his friends. Occasionally, he dabbles in philosophy and politics. In the future, Aidan hopes to get at least a master’s degree in organic or inorganic chemistry. From there, he plans to enter polymer research or study the element thorium. He is thankful for all of the teachers who have advocated for him, his supportive family and friends, and the endless number of counselors who helped get him to where he is now. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
