For 25 years, Chris Anderson has been intelligence, knowledge, and, sometimes, the Maestro of Gooey Blather TedSince he took over the reins of the small but influential annual conference of “Technology, Entertainment and Design” in 2000, he has made it in a famous, if ever mocked, a group of “Idea Worth Sharing”, in which a group of “Idea Worth Sharing” A heavy smuggling YouTube channel includes a collection of thousands of licensed meetings called TEDX, and a collection of over a quarter million, including Elon MuskMonica Lewinsky, and of course bono. Ted Podcast, NPR has a TED radio show and an educational program called TED-Ed.
Now he wants to give all this.
Today is that Announcing their intentions The best idea of ​​what to do with it to go down from a non -profit organization and to turn the entire Kaboodle with it shares the best idea. He said, “It seems like a boners idea, except that whatever has happened with the Ted, I have been seeing that when we let something go, it has happened,” they Told, speaking especially for wired. “We removed the material, and this Ted made viral. We left the brand as a TEDX license. When you give control of someone else on someone else, you are inspiring them to perform your best. Ted has amazing things in its next chapter. And so I think it is time to try the same thing again. Let it go and be surprised. ,
Anderson says he is not burnt. But 25 years is a long time. He would not earn money on the transaction from running Tech Prakashan in the 80s and 90s – he anyway, and he never took salary in Ted. Despite a perception that Ted is the past Its primeHe says that the organization is in good shape. During membership during the epidemic, the company's finance is now cured. Its Most recent financial filing About $ 100 million reports a break-even balance sheet, and Anderson says Ted has $ 25 million in cash reserves. He says that seats for next week's conference (the highest sold at $ 12,500 per pop), Vancouver, are sold out as usual in the custom-made 1,500-seat theaters in British Columbia.

Do you want it? Check your bank account. Anderson wants someone to take Ted to a new level with cash. Who could he be? A unhappy default may be somewhat spectacular who prefers to hear from marine protector, evolutionary humanist, and “global spirits”-in 2025, all speakers in 2025 compared to walking in Mar-e-Lago. Instead, Anderson is a university, one of the large philanthropic organizations, a major media outlet, a city, demanding the cerebral version of the Finge Festival, or even forms a large technique or a AI company. . (Imagine that former speaker will welcome his dialogue being used to train the next version of Mithun or Copilot.) He states that a collective decentralized autonomous organization- a blockchain-collected group of several ted-stirts- current Maintains the community. This idea seems far -fetched, but therefore there are some talks that you can find on the red circle of the TED stage. Surprise him.
He says, “There is an opportunity to bring knowledge far and wide, but with our current resources we cannot do that single,” they say. “I just want to open the tent and see who can bring it to your version of that vision and resources to make it real. And a part of mine only loves its playful surprise side. I really don't know what is going to happen. ,
Ted-starts will not be either, and it causes some anxest. I have been participating in the Ted Conference since the 1990s, when a eccentric architect named Richard Saul Vurman conducted a program in a small theater in Monteri, California. For the first time as a TED participant, Anderson was so enchanted that he bought a franchise and increased his audience to millions of people in a theater, making the word “Ted Talk” better or worse in a clich. When I participated, I wrote a “Ted Status” Dispatch that Anderson usually takes into good humor, except for time in 2009 I criticized them There is not much material about the economic crisis. (He Answers from the test On stage.) It would be strange in the ted without him, but then it will have to go forever.
