👁What ants teach us about the brain, cancer and the Internet
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish
👣Ecologist Deborah Gordon studies ants wherever she can find them -- in the desert, in the tropics, in her kitchen ... In this fascinating talk, she explains her obsession with insects most of us would happily swat away without a second thought. She argues that ant life provides a useful model for learning about many other topics, including disease, technology and the human brain.

What ants teach us about the brain, cancer and the Internet
👁The nightmare videos of children's YouTube -- and what's wrong with the internet today
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English
👣Writer and artist James Bridle uncovers a dark, strange corner of the internet, where unknown people or groups on YouTube hack the brains of young children in return for advertising revenue. From \"surprise egg\" reveals and the \"Finger Family Song\" to algorithmically created mashups of familiar cartoon characters in violent situations, these videos exploit and terrify young minds -- and they tell us something about where our increasingly data-driven world is headed. \"We need to stop thinking about technology as a solution to all of our problems, but think of it as a guide to what those problems actually are, so we can start thinking about them properly and start to address them,\" Bridle says.
