I want to celebrate rob, but um....a Satanic Temple? 
Damnit I can't stop laughing...but I am certain later I'll start worrying about the mark of the beast because of this post.

As a matter of fact, I might start worrying now...

You can read the tenets of The Satanic Temple here.

Satanism is a really loaded topic, similar to anarchy. It evokes images in our heads due to the stigmas and social conditioning that don't necessarily correspond to the actuality of the idea. Supernaturalism, devil-worship, sacrificing animals, etc. aren't what Satanism is about. That's just what propagandists would have you believe.

"We understand the Satanic figure as a symbol of man’s inherent nature, representative of the eternal rebel, enlightened inquiry and personal freedom rather than a supernatural deity or being."

Satanism is a challenge to dogma. A challenge to the guilt we burden ourselves with for simply being human. A challenge to rise to your fullest potential from within.

This is a very insightful talk discussing the emergent information economy and how we can scale it up, taking cues from how life itself manages ultra-complexity, and from looking at innovations that enabled the globalized economy to prosper.

 tl;dr using p2p networks and a universal container for information, we can solve the problems of resiliency and scalability into trillions of nodes (people, devices).

Nice!  I now have many more questions than answers ...  Good ted talk.

What's the deal with the computerized slides? just a presentation gimmick?

We gotta get you to Blacksburg...
