DO Lectures

Yesterday I told a friend that I hate hearing/watching/reading people who just talk or write and don't DO. Then lo and behold, Swissmiss posts about this organization and their Do Lectures.

This appears to be like the indie, underground brother of TED. The organization differentiates itself from TED by having talks by people who actually execute ideas, but I'm not really that convinced. The talks I tried to watch meander, without any real destination, and I'm not really sure by the end what they did.

The talks appear to take place in a small wooden cabin, and I'm sure everyone is wearing ecologically responsible clothes. I'm sure they don't wear shoes. I'm sure they go home and eat the eggs hatched by their chickens, if they eat eggs at all. I'm sure they won't even eat seitan because it's in some way accepting meat by resembling meat. Maybe for all these reasons I just can't engage in a single talk I tried to watch. I guess I was wrong - I prefer the thinkers who don't really do anything.
