Esther Crawley talk at TEDxBristol, Thurs 2nd Bristol - "Disrupting Your View Of ME"

I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised. However, playing devil's advocate, some of us have done exactly the same thing by encouraging down votes.

 

No conflicts of interests there then!

 

Esther Crawley's talk is now "Unlisted" on youtube, instead of "Public". So basically anyone can watch it, but it won't turn up in any search results on Google, Youtube, etc. The only way anyone will find it is if someone else links to it.

 

Interesting, i wonder how that happened (and why)
Not that i am complaining however

 

To understand the significance of this it would be interesting to know how many of their videos suffer the same fate. Is this likely to be an exceptional event?

 

Probably - promotion of the talks and TED is the whole point of putting them on Youtube. It might be hard to find them (which is the point) but a very short external list included:

All three seem to have some basic nonsense in their contents.

The head transplantation one had this note added:

So I think that answers the question of where TEDx draws the line - mutilation of corpses in the pursuit of obvious insanity. And even then, the video stays up

 

New motto?

 

Well that's interesting. Someone seems to be concerned about damage to the brand, but who, and which brand?

 

TEDx and TEDxBristol don't seem to be saying anything. But Esther Crawley's talk is still listed, described, and linked with the others on TEDxBristol's site, so maybe it's TEDx who decided to hide it under the bed?

Amusingly, Crawley's talk is far less popular (down votes versus up votes) than the other "Unlisted" TEDx talks that I could find. She even has one more down votes than the head transplant video (210 versus 209), and far fewer upvotes (65 versus 1,000).

But I suppose it's cool that we now have an objective benchmark for BPS spiels

 

Wha?

 

And she did that within a month vs. three years for the head transplant video

Also the EC video is the only one where comments are disabled, she does get some special treatment

 

Took the Note from TED about the head transplantation from @Valentijn's post above (Esther Crawley talk at TEDxBristol, Thurs 2nd Bristol - "Disrupting Your View Of ME") and edited it slightly. This is the note I'd like to see next to EC's talk :

 

I thought that they'd actually added that when I saw your post.

What it currently says:

 

What exactly is this statement, where is it from and when?

 

It's a joke. I didn't realise that until after checking the youtube page though.

 

Ok thanks, it wasn't that clear it was a joke and got my hopes up a bit too high.

 

I made a joke and took the TED statement about the head transplantation from @Valentijn's post Esther Crawley talk at TEDxBristol, Thurs 2nd Bristol - "Disrupting Your View Of ME" above and edited it slightly. Should have explained, sorry. Will go back and add an explanation.

 

Whenever I see the picture on the video in post #333 (EC with her finger in the air) :

https://www.s4me.info/threads/esthe...upting-your-view-of-me.286/page-17#post-37697

I always imagine she's saying something like this :

"Patients who don't like my work can spin on it."

 

search engine kung fu:

Code:

site:youtube.com intitle:disrupting your view of me

will still bring it up in results.

 

Looks like this video is now offline.

Bristol still has a page promoting it, but with a broken link: https://www.bristol.ac.uk/ccah/news/2017/esther-crawley-tedx.html
