TEDxExeter 2013 – Living the Questions

We have gathered another group of outstanding innovators, activists and performers who are changing the world through their ground breaking work and ideas.

On 12 April, we are looking forward to exploring how to live the important questions facing us in all areas of life, including money, business, prosperity, sustainability, the environment, childhood and old age, community, society, science.

Thank you for coming! We hope you enjoyed living the questions as much as we did. We expect the videos of the talk to be available in mid-May. In the meantime, you can review the Programme and read the live blog, and see the posts on Living the Questions in the run-up to the day.

    “I beg you, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”

    Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

    • "Soil: We think we can control nature, but we are not nature's rulers. Soul: Everything has soul, and if we don't care for the soul, we can't care for the earth. Society: Live without labels as a human being, and meet other human beings, and celebrate diversity. Leadership is not going to come out of No.10 or the White House. Instead we are all potential leaders."

      Satish Kumar

    • "Ecocide is the extensive damage to, destruction of or loss of ecosystem(s) of a given territory, whether by human agency or by other causes, to such an extent that peaceful enjoyment by the inhabitants of that territory has been or will be severely diminished."

      Polly Higgins, proposal to the UN defining Ecocide as the fifth Crime Against Peace

    • "It’s time to get away from entrenched positions in international negotiations on climate change, and think a bit laterally. If we control methane, we gain benefits for human and econsystem health, and we have a better chance of controlling overall greenhouse gas emissions."
