TEDxUMKC

This talk on the power imbalance between individual creators and large media platforms that is at the heart of the drivers of the attention economy, was delivered on February 1, 2025 to a packed audience at the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Medicine. It climbed to 1.75 million views in 15 days before it was taken down by TED.

TEDxHandley Blvd Women's

This talk, delivered to an audience of about 100 people at Shenandoah University, Winchester, VA on March 14, 2025, is not published by TED because it outlines the strategy the speaker used to propagate his message to virality by adopting similar mechanisms from natural biology — which, peripherally, would potentially have promoted the speaker's book on the same subject. TED's speaker guidance now covers this.
