The more I watch Ted Talks, the more I like it. This particular talk is rather fascinating, including the idea that our social choices are tied to our genes.

It expands my idea of genetics … and the importance of social ties.

highly addictive these TED talks are – I liked this one as much as the Don’t Discard one.

Well that just blew my socks off. It isn’t surprising you had a hard time getting Hargobind to stop watching!
