But around 800 BCE, that began to change: the value of bronze declined, causing social upheaval and an economic crisis— what we would call a recession today. So what causes recessions? Richard Coffin digs into the economic fluctuations that affect our modern markets.

👁What happened when I open-sourced my brain cancer
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣When artist Salvatore Iaconesi was diagnosed with brain cancer, he refused to be a passive patient -- which, he points out, means \"one who waits.\" So he hacked his brain scans, posted them online, and invited a global community to pitch in on a \"cure.\" This sometimes meant medical advice, and it sometimes meant art, music, emotional support -- from more than half a million people.

👁The dream we haven't dared to dream

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.\"

👁Brain-to-brain communication has arrived. How we did it
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣You may remember neuroscientist Miguel Nicolelis — he built the brain-controlled exoskeleton that allowed a paralyzed man to kick the first ball of the 2014 World Cup. What’s he working on now? Building ways for two minds (rats and monkeys, for now) to send messages brain to brain. Watch to the end for an experiment that, as he says, will go to \"the limit of your imagination.\"

👁The way we think about charity is dead wrong
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Activist and fundraiser Dan Pallotta calls out the double standard that drives our broken relationship to charities. Too many nonprofits, he says, are rewarded for how little they spend -- not for what they get done. Instead of equating frugality with morality, he asks us to start rewarding charities for their big goals and big accomplishments (even if that comes with big expenses). In this bold talk, he says: Let's change the way we think about changing the world.

Are we living in a simulation? - Zohreh Davoudi

All life on Earth— living and inanimate, microscopic and cosmic— is governed by mathematical laws with apparently arbitrary constants. And this opens up a question: If the universe is completely governed by these laws, couldn’t a powerful enough computer simulate it exactly? Could our reality actually be a detailed simulation set in place by a more advanced civilization? Zohreh Davoudi investigates.
