Dr. Conor McDonough Quinn is a documentary linguist, endangered language revitalization worker, and avid learner and teacher of languages. Raised in Portland, Maine, he has lived at length in Indonesia, China, and Oman, and has worked extensively with several indigenous communities of the Northeast. Learning his own familys endangered heritage language (hint: look at the name) in his early teens gave him a passion for helping others to do the same, and led him to pursue linguistics—somewhat single-mindedly—throughout his academic career. Alongside a hefty set of technical research questions in linguistics, he is currently most interested in developing tools to help speech communities carry out their own linguistic documentation and revitalization work, and in finding new ways to reduce the barriers to learning new languages.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Встречайте Семён Семёныча — персонажа книги Андрея Курпатова «Самоучитель по философии». Семён Семёныч — своеобразный философский эксперимент. Он умный, интеллигентный, но постоянно путается в своих мыслях… В общем — такой же, как мы с вами. Но он не так-то прост, как кажется на первый взгляд. Сможете ли вы разгадать, что он пытаемся нам сказать своими приключениями?
Философии научить невозможно, но можно натолкнуть на размышления. Истории про Семён Семёныча — это притчи, нечто вроде дзен-буддистских коанов, призванных ввести читателя в состояние озадаченности.
