TED Talk of the Week 7-28

Ze Frank - Are you human?
Comical, short talk mixing whimsy with some deepness that, I DON’T QUITE THINK, sells. Though the whimsy is completely hysterical. It may’ve been that it would’ve take the audience a longer time to warm up to the intensity of a few of the deep questions, so blocking it at 4 minutes may've been a poor choice. Fun a provocative, nevertheless.
What other questions would you add to the test?

Fixed! Thanks for the heads up!

Have you ever realized that you forgot to value a life - your life?

Have you ever think about stopping posting on a forum to keep your post count at 42?


I don't know... His "human test" bugs me. The way he reads his sheets during 5 minutes bugs me, plus other things. He speaks of humanity like a dehumanized person. Some questions made me smile but i'm still searching for a real deepness. To me, he offers an alternative way to consider these question rather than a deep-comical mix.

Maybe the deepest is the reason of his test? Why would you ever take a test to determine you're human even if you know you are?

are you sure you're human? have you ever taken the Voight-Kampff test?
