Here is a list of my favorite TED talks. The are loosely rank by order, but not really…watch them all.

1. clicky, clicky – Paul Stamets on 6 ways mushrooms can save the world. clicky, clicky
2. clicky clicky – This talk is fucking amazing! I love data, I love math, I love software, I love statistics. In this talk Hans Rosling combines them all in a single presentation that will challenge your prospective about the world you live in. Hans raises the bar for every data scientist. He took an extremely complicated data set (economic factors over multiple countries, over time) and animated them in an easy to understand way. In the process he shatters many prejudges about our world. Amazing! …seriously Amazing!
