Oh gawwwwd...
Some compatriots in professional circles implored me to watch Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's TED talk on flow.
As many of you know, I hate TED. I think it's faux intellectualism packaged into entertaining bite-sized chunks that make you believe you've learned something, when in reality you just watched a little dance of form over function. Performed largely to please a modern Roman Senate who wants to believe they're the world's upper echelon of sentient beings.
TED talks are like infographics for lecturers.
Naturally, I watched it and was not surprised ... I was bored to tears and thought it was more crap pop intellectualism.
I'm such a curmudgeon...
