Matt Ridley: When ideas have sex

by Julian Gratton

The logo for TED, ideas worth spreading. From Red C Marketing, Advertising Agency, Online Marketing Agency We Like article on Matt Ridley's When Ideas Have SexA very talented retoucher by the name of Dan Watkins introduced me to TED last year and ever since I have been a massive fan. Over the weekend I got a chance to catch up on my TEDGlobal 2010 viewing. The highlight so far has to be this talk from British author Matt Ridley entitled ‘When ideas have sex’.

In the talk Matt Ridley shows how, throughout history, the engine of human progress has been the meeting and mating of ideas to make new ideas. It’s not important how clever individuals are, he says; what really matters is how smart the collective brain is.
