I have done a few algorithmically recommended youtube journeys that started with a great TED talk, but some clicks later ended up with me listening to a sociopathic clueless rich kid preach financial advice (that failed to mention wealthy parents). I’ve done some research as to who can present at a TED talk. The X talks are the minor leagues that the TED talks sometimes recruit from, but I’ve seen talks with other letters and those are some of my favorites because of how far they can go off the rails.

As always, I appreciate you checking out the weekly comic! I post a new comic every Thursday so please come back, and don’t forget to subscribe.
