👁My love letter to cosplay
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👁Uber's plan to get more people into fewer cars
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Uber didn't start out with grand ambitions to cut congestion and pollution. But as the company took off, co-founder Travis Kalanick wondered if there was a way to get people using Uber along the same routes to share rides, reducing costs and carbon footprint along the way. The result: uberPOOL, the company's carpooling service, which in its first eight months took 7.9 million miles off the roads and 1,400 metric tons of carbon dioxide out of the air in Los Angeles. Now, Kalanick says carpooling could work for commuters in the suburbs, too. \"With the technology in our pockets today, and a little smart regulation,\" he says, \"we can turn every car into a shared car, and we can reclaim our cities starting today.\"

👁This is your brain on communication
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Neuroscientist Uri Hasson researches the basis of human communication, and experiments from his lab reveal that even across different languages, our brains show similar activity, or become \"aligned,\" when we hear the same idea or story. This amazing neural mechanism allows us to transmit brain patterns, sharing memories and knowledge. \"We can communicate because we have a common code that presents meaning,\" Hasson says.

👁The mind behind Linux
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Linus Torvalds transformed technology twice -- first with the Linux kernel, which helps power the Internet, and again with Git, the source code management system used by developers worldwide. In a rare interview with TED Curator Chris Anderson, Torvalds discusses with remarkable openness the personality traits that prompted his unique philosophy of work, engineering and life. \"I am not a visionary, I'm an engineer,\" Torvalds says. \"I'm perfectly happy with all the people who are walking around and just staring at the clouds ... but I'm looking at the ground, and I want to fix the pothole that's right in front of me before I fall in.\"

👁An entertainment icon on living a life of meaning
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English

👣In the 1970s (and decades following), TV producer Norman Lear touched the lives of millions with culture-altering sitcoms like All in the Family, The Jeffersons and Good Times, pushing the boundaries of the era and giving a primetime voice to underrepresented Americans.

👁The surprising habits of original thinkers

👣How do creative people come up with great ideas? Organizational psychologist Adam Grant studies \"originals\": thinkers who dream up new ideas and take action to put them into the world. In this talk, learn three unexpected habits of originals -- including embracing failure. \"The greatest originals are the ones who fail the most, because they're the ones who try the most,\" Grant says. \"You need a lot of bad ideas in order to get a few good ones.\"

🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣What are your dreams? Better yet, what are your broken dreams? Dan Pallotta dreams of a time when we are as excited, curious and scientific about the development of our humanity as we are about the development of our technology. \"What we fear most is that we will be denied the opportunity to fulfill our true potential,\" Pallotta says. \"Imagine living in a world where we simply recognize that deep, existential fear in one another -- and love one another boldly because we know that to be human is to live with that fear.\"

👁Why genetic research must be more diverse
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Ninety-six percent of genome studies are based on people of European descent. The rest of the world is virtually unrepresented -- and this is dangerous, says geneticist and TED Fellow Keolu Fox, because we react to drugs differently based on our genetic makeup. Fox is working to democratize genome sequencing, specifically by advocating for indigenous populations to get involved in research, with the goal of eliminating health disparities. \"The research community needs to immerse itself in indigenous culture,\" he says, \"or die trying.\"

👁The new American Dream
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣For the first time in history, the majority of American parents don't think their kids will be better off than they were. This shouldn't be a cause for alarm, says journalist Courtney E. Martin. Rather, it's an opportunity to define a new approach to work and family that emphasizes community and creativity. \"The biggest danger is not failing to achieve the American Dream,\" she says in a talk that will resonate far beyond the US. \"The biggest danger is achieving a dream that you don't actually believe in.\"

👁Who are you, really? The puzzle of personality
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

But Brian Little is more interested in moments when we transcend those traits -- sometimes because our culture demands it of us, and sometimes because we demand it of ourselves. Join Little as he dissects the surprising differences between introverts and extroverts and explains why your personality may be more malleable than you think.

👁Can you really tell if a kid is lying?
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Are children poor liars? Do you think you can easily detect their lies? Developmental researcher Kang Lee studies what happens physiologically to children when they lie. They do it a lot, starting as young as two years old, and they're actually really good at it. Lee explains why we should celebrate when kids start to lie and presents new lie-detection technology that could someday reveal our hidden emotions.

👁Meet the dazzling flying machines of the future
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣When you hear the word \"drone,\" you probably think of something either very useful or very scary. But could they have aesthetic value?
