TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics ? from science to business to global issues ? in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world. TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. On TED.com, we’re building a clearinghouse of free knowledge from the world’s most inspired thinkers ? and a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other, both online and at TED and TEDx events around the world, all year long.

Professor Kennedy : Your Brain Is A Selfish Democrat
This talk was given at a local TEDx event. Justin James Kennedy is a neuroscientist, research psychologist and executive coach. He combines all three disciplines in this entertaining TEDxJohannesburg 2014 talk. He makes the point that as Homo sapiens, our democratic reflex is first and foremost a selfish need. The question is, can we train our brains to be less selfish and more Ubuntu? After completing a Bachelor Social Science in Psychology at Rhodes University, Professor Justin Kennedy spent 20 years sustaining a corporate career that spanned three continents. Kennedy then earned his PhD in Professional Studies at the UGSM-Monarch Business School in Switzerland. He is now a neuroscientist at the University of Pretoria, a research psychologist and executive coach with Sherpa Coaching South Africa.
