Didn't realize they banned certain TED talks.

TED felt that it was too political.

That seems crazy to me. Everything is political. The quiet prohibition of ideas with explicitly political calls to action like increasing taxes on the rich is in itself an extremely political action.

That makes a little bit more sense but still I thought it was an open forum where people can express their ideas.
