Duke, this post took me back to my youth when life was all about the idealism of the vision of a changing world and the belief that my life could matter. Yeh, I remember now, and I think I had it right, back then.

I too got the stats and raw data bug, as well as the moral jazz kick. We fellows were blown away by the power of individuals among us and among all TEDizens. I've been reminiscing about the Don't Eat the Marshmallows videos of the 4 year olds tempting themselves -- kids bring such laughter to morality and rules while they are learning. Was so curious about your empty classrooms reference since I am a professor. I wonder if you meant something like wishing students were eager to leave and get out there and make a difference. We train them more often than not to be in the status quo - cynical, resigned and begging for answers not inquiring into what matters to them. kyraocity.com; knowledgecrush.com Thanks Duke!

I was at TED last week and felt the same way. If you don't mind, I'm sharing your post to the TED Fellows website. If you read the posts on there, you'd see the results of everything you've outlined here. Well said Duke! I was at TED last week and felt the same way.
