I attended a TEDx event today on my university campus, and I not-so-cleverly decided not to take a pen with me, so I couldn't take notes during the various lectures. However, as I was listening to the speakers, I thought of phrases/quotations from my personal "world" that could resonate with the themes discussed today.
"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually -- from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint -- it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly... timey-wimey... stuff." - The Tenth Doctor, Doctor Who, Blink

imagination (re: Michael Saler - History and Imaginary Worlds)
and imagining others complexly (re: Chimamanda Adichie - The Danger of a Single Story)
"If you don't imagine, nothing ever happens at all."
“It is easy to forget how full the world is of people, full to bursting, and each of them imaginable and consistently misimagined.”
and
"Isn't it also that on some fundamental level we find it difficult to understand that other people are human beings in the same way that we are?"

Oh, and I'm so glad that more people were exposed to the wonderfulness and pure awesome that is Ze Frank, even if it was through a video and not in-real-life.
