Comments for TED Prize : Wishes Big Enough to Change the World http://www.tedprize.org TED Prize Winner Updates and Input Wed, 07 Dec 2011 20:27:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 Comment on An idea takes the TED Prize… by idit http://www.tedprize.org/an-idea-takes-the-ted-prize/comment-page-1/#comment-167711 idit Wed, 07 Dec 2011 20:27:33 +0000 http://www.tedprize.org/?p=2203#comment-167711 Amy (and Chris): Please tell us more about HOW everyone in the TED community (or communities) can embrace this invitation for "radical collaboration" around "building sustainable, vibrant, working cities." What I mostly like about it that it is basically a "Learning Project." Should we call it "Learning Cities" instead of Cities2.0 ... Learning Cities are designed to support collaborations among multi-aged and multi-dsciplined multi-lingual populations, who are learninhg-all-the-time connected citizens... Congratulations on a brilliant IDEA! Once again: You Rock.

I am following a deeply language-based story. Sometimes I find myself totally alone in discussing words, especially the power and potential of the letters, as in, In the Beginning WAS the Word. I think there are ways of seeing this, routes, to our roots, that will bring us all home, and that within the letters is a universe, yet mostly unplumbed, that I am plumbing.

I asked this question, and when I pose it, people turn away, as if it were a question they are not allowed to ask. And so I am going aloud with this, because there is a story I need to tell, a story that sends me to my knees, a story about how we are all of us more connected to each other than we ever thought possible. in truth/ruth The rains came: I am writing this at a time of teeming rain, brought by hurricane, Irene.

I am a regular guy from Belgium. Can you find for me an important person who will validate for me my idea how bilions of persons can quit smoking on a effective, simple, original and free way without secondairy phenomena or the need for scientefic investigations to comfirm the efficiëntie. After the explanation on TED, everyone can uplay the trick without any support or device where ever and whenever he feels the need. An important issue of your President's Haelth Care program can be resolved because I placed the logical link between two nown facts which never is promoted. With kind regards, L Vermeir Hello.
