We Stopped Dreaming
Neil deGrasse Tyson breaks down the importance of advancing the space frontier. You can think about him as the Carl Sagan of the 21st century or the US version of Bryan Cox bringing science to the masses. How many of us ever think about space travel? If the Cold War hadn’t ended, we might have been flying regularly to Mars by now. Watching this video felt like day dreaming.

Changing Education Paradigms
This the latest of the RSA vision videos which is based on a speech by Sir Ken Robinson (world-renowned education expert). For those who haven’t heard, for over 250 years the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) has been a cradle of enlightenment thinking and a force for social progress.
They make animated videos which teach on various topics thereby making those topics more understandable and interesting, this one is all about education. I just couldn’t stop watching, the section about ADHD as a ficticious epidemic and diminishing creativity is so interesting. It may be a bit cerebral for some but at least it shows that we’re not just about good girls and partying.
