I see from http://spreadsheets.google.com/lv?key=pjGlYH-8AK8ffDa6o2bYlXg that currently only 30 talks have been posted from TEDGlobal2009 and the latest were in October. I'm guessing they post a few add'l ones each month. I’m thinking they’ve not yet posted/edited Rob’s talk.

I go to it periodically thinking it would appear but it doesnt. good luck please let us all know if and when it does. Im surprised that no one mentioned that it might not ever get televised. It must be somewhere; perhaps backlogged? I asked this a long time ago and never got a response so Im still unsure.. I go to it periodically thinking it would appear but it doesnt.

"one litre of oil contains energy equivalent to 5 weeks hard human manual labour. That means that it contains energy equivalent to 35 days of someone working hard for you. 35 strong men slaving away, all for £1." If Johns calculation is correct then how many litres are in a barrel? Also, are the slides available in a large format as some of the images would be great to use in our forthcoming talk to our local Town Council? Thanks.

A check of various sources seems to indicate a 100 watt (joules per second) output in manual labour (please if anyone disagrees can they let me know!) - here are the maths: Hard-working human: 100 watts (or Joules per second) 8-hour day = 28,800 seconds @ 100 joules/second Total output = 28,000 x 100 = 2,880,000 Joules 6,100,000,000 joules (barrel of oil)/2,880,00 (human) = 2118 A standard barrel of crude oil therefore contains the energy of 2118 man-days.

Who'd of believed it just a couple of years ago hey! Just concerend re time. Can you delever all that in 18 minutes? I hope so but it looks more like 20 to 25!! Having said that, can you articulate something about the internal paradigm shift that needs to happen and is begining to be witnessed? Its not just an outer journey - our inner world view is so fundamental. - joining up the dots! All the very best of luck and keep on. Will Hi Rob

Great stuff. Who’d of believed it just a couple of years ago hey!

Just concerend re time. Can you delever all that in 18 minutes? I hope so but it looks more like 20 to 25!!

Having said that, can you articulate something about the internal paradigm shift that needs to happen and is begining to be witnessed? Its not just an outer journey – our inner world view is so fundamental. – joining up the dots!

All the very best of luck and keep on.
