what job are you going to look for next?
I'm looking for in-house positions as I'm tired of law firms. The amount of billable hours they require is insane and I wasn't willing to sacrifice my personal life for some prestige and money.

Three decades?



Excellent :D
Three hours :p

See above.

In addition to that, I want more time to work on personal projects (biz ideas I have).

Can't stand TED really. 9/10 it's simply an impressive example of why you shouldn't prefer style over substance.
Modern day charlatanism
The idea behind isn't bad, but at the same time it's kind of bound to fail. You have to present short talks about complicated issues in a manner the public finds interesting. This means you're going to get hyperbole and bullshit claims. Not to mention the fact that someone somewhere still has to make the call as to what's considered 'intellectual' and what's not - and most of the time the person making that call thinks a wee bit too highly of himself.

It is style over substance. And the "public" is arguably a group of smug types who want intellectuals to perform for their court like jester monkeys who can entertain them with their tales of merriment so they can feel better about themselves.

Yup :tup:

Not that there aren't plenty of TED talks by interesting people about interesting topics, but even they fall short of their potential, mostly due to the format.
