What a deeply creepy story. From an insencere invitation to converse with the people who disagreed, to publicly denounced, publicly "corrected", and then finally just supressed.
Always and forever, those most assured that they are right and have the right to censor/suppress others are terrified of open debate and free speech.

Nothing new under the sun. It has been painfully obvious that ANY organization not solidly anchored (and some, no doubt, that were) moves left. No exceptions. Who thinks that, ie, Messrs Ford, Carnegie, and Rockefeller would approve of that which is being done in their names?
Exactly. The "leadership" at TED was doing everything they could to disguise their blatant censorship. "Ideas worth spreading" is now right up there with "all the news that's fit to print" in the ignominy of journalism.
I wonder if they comprehend that their first mistake, as an organization founded to share ideas worth spreading and which is devoted to curiosity, reason, wonder, and the pursuit of knowledgeтАФwithout an agenda, was hiring people who need a "safe space" at work. I mean...2+2 does equal 4.

Marxism is as Marxism does.

This is depressing. TED needs to figure out what they actually stand for and publish a more honest mission statement.

Haven't you heard? Math is racist. ЁЯШЖ
How embarrassing for TED to be just another PC/Woke, bigoted, left wing tyrant.
