KING DAVID Christian’s “Big History” TED Talk
This is a “must see”. David Christian, whom I’ve raved about previously, and who Bill Gates raves about too, just delivered a fabulous 17-minute TED talk (below). If you’ve not already heard it, I also recommend taking the time to listen to Connie’s and my “Inspiring Naturalism” interview with David last year. I consider David’s The Teaching Company course on Big History to be the single best educational experience I’ve ever had. (I just noticed that it’s on sale 70% off. DON’T MISS IT!) Connie and I playfully refer to our dear friend and colleague as, “King David”. You’ll soon see why. He does these evolutionary evangelists proud!

The TED talk was incredible. It presents whole new framework for thinking about the past, present and future– and in 18 minutes! What an amazing mind.
