and that comes from what these people are and what they represent.

To be in a place where no one recognizes any limitation ever

is freeing in a way that very few places on the planet are.

Being a TED Fellow

is one of the most beautiful and important things that has ever happened in my life.

I hesitate to say "life-changing" because I think everyone says "life-changing"

but it truly is that.

Game-changing.

Empowering.

Funny.

Inclusive.

Nurturing.

Larger than life.

Extraordinary thinker, I feel.

If you think that what you're doing is important and is helping the world,

just apply.

You want to feel hopeful and inspired

and like there's a group of people in the world

that are thinking on a massively complicated level?

Go hang out with those guys!

Fellows rock guys. Peace.
