Understood. I was looking at that large and growing organization as a way to make our case, succinctly and memorably to the thought leaders who will be making and administering policy for those people. It’s all good. Any other angles of approach to TED?

Once I send one of the guys responsible for topic picking in technology an email about some perspective Fusion and Solar power technologies, but I never heard from him back.
I am guessing that either that Innovative Confinement Concepts have not made a serious mark yet or the understand that energy is the most important issue is not widespread.
Edit:Or maybe he just missed my message, next time I will know to ask the community to give a helping hand.

The biggest challenge I can see right off the top of my head in persuading TED to let us present FF as a potential solution to clean energy and water challenges, possibly drainage (sanitary sewers) as well is that Bill Gates used that platform to off-handedly dismiss fusion in general. At the risk of sounding confrontational, I’m leaning toward a refutation of that aspect of Gates’ presentation. That’s if we decided that TED is the right forum, and that now is the time to attempt to present there.

I’m outlining and skimming a fascinating book called “Influencer” (got it at Barnes & Noble) which will culminate in tying their 6 strategies for influence together into a strategy to make the desired outcome inevitable. Also on my list is re-reading and this time noting from “Multipliers”, which was written in the same time frame from students of Influencers’ authors iirc.

As Spock once advised Kirk, “I’d prefer to be a welcome guest”. When the sales psychology is right, there will be no shortage of offers to help promote FF, and it will coincide much closer with the real break-even experiments.

I don’t think it is an issue when participating in TEDx (not TED) first and maybe later we can climb higher.
Also ITER main researcher was on TED recently.

Personally, I don’t think we’d fit in well over there. But that’s just me.

This one is at Lerner Hall.

... and it’s at CUNY, where as it seems Rezwan already has contacted a professor who is interested in FF:

Until now, there’s no much info on that TEDx event, though. Maybe that means speakers are still welcomed.

With the new publication and other advances, it could be worth a try.
