Dan, what's it like to give such a good TED Talk?

[@TheRichSolution]

I liked the way you started off your talk and how a question lead to curiosity and then that led to learning!

[@hepzibahandrew4783]

Thanks for sharing your experience with wisdom

[@musingsandmusic]

I like this presentation- straight to the point, clear and accessible (not the typical Ted-pretense) , however, I like to argue that "be informed" kills the inquisitive nature and curiosity. I understand that it related to interviews and avoiding the "obvious", but in general an open mind, a degree of ignorance keeps questioning alive (and our minds too!)

[@nielsontoo]

You can see Dan is used to ask questions. Speaking without an interlocutor is really challenging for him. I feel you! Very good content.

Impressive preparation & able to visualize the idea on the mind so what kind of questions are suitable & relevant. As asking questions is symbols of curiosity & better understanding of informative.

[@Monkhaus]

I think sometimes it's difficult to find the right questions, I'm working on a platform that will help people find and ask better questions.
