For 25 years, Chris Anderson has been a Maestro of intelligence, intelligence, and, sometimes, Gooy Blather TED. Since he took over the harmonies of the annual annual conference but has affected technology, entertainment and design in 2000, he has built it into a celebrity, if sometimes he suffered Mocking, gathering ideas worth sharing, including a heavy trading channel, the YouTube channel is heavily traded, thousands of licensed gatherings in the locality are called TEDX, and one. The storage is more than a quarter of the negotiations, including negotiations from Elon MuskMonica Lewinsky, and of course Bono. There is Ted Podcasts, a Ted radio program on NPR and an educational program called Ted-Ed.
Now he wants to give it all.
Today he Notice my intention To step down from the non -profit organization and transfer the entire Kaboodle to anyone who shares the best idea about what to do with it. It seems like a bonkers, except everything that happened to TED because I monitored it happened when we let go of something, he told me, in particular with Wired. We gave the content, and that was what made Ted Viral. We have given the brand as a TEDX license. When you give others to control something, you will motivate them to do your best. There are great things that TED can do in its next chapter. And so I think it's time to try the same thing. Go and be surprised.
Anderson said he was not burned. But 25 years is a long time. Anyway, he will not earn money for transactions, he, from running technology publications in the 80s and 90s and he never received salary at TED. Despite being aware that TED has passed Its primeHe said that the organization was in good condition. While the members are sagged in the pandemic, the company's finance has now recovered. Its Latest financial application Reporting a balance sheet breeding about $ 100 million and Anderson said Ted had $ 25 million in cash reserves. He added that the seat (mostly sold at $ 12,500 per pop) for the conference lasted for the next week, in the 1,500 -seat theater built customized in Vancouver, British Columbia, sold out, like always. Sam Altman Will be in the building!!
Do you want it? Check your bank account. Anderson wants someone to have cash to bring Ted to a new level. Who can be? An unhappy default may be a superhero, who likes to hear from maritime supervisors, evolutionary anthropologists, and global souls of the return instead. Study, one of the big charities, a large media store, a city looking for a brain version of the Fringe Festival, or even a large technology company or AI. . That idea seems very far away, but some conversations you can find on the red circle of Ted Stage. Surprised him.
There is an opportunity to bring far and wide knowledge, but with our current resources, we cannot do that, he said. I just want to open the tent and see who can bring their own version and resources to make it true. And a part of me only loves its joyful surprising aspect. I really don't know what will happen.
Ted-sters is not, and that will definitely cause some anger. I attended the TED conferences and turned off from the 1990s, when an eccentric architect named Richard Saul Wurman operated the event in a small theater in Monterey, California. As a Ted attend first, Anderson was charming, he bought franchising and expanded his audience from 550 people in a theater to millions of people, turning the term Ted Ted Talk into one one. Cliches, better or worse. When I attended, I wrote a letter from Ted State of TED ”that Anderson was often funny, except for the time in 2009 when I criticize him Because there is not much content about the economic crisis. (He Answer evidence On stage.) It's strange that Ted doesn't have him, but then he will continue forever.
