Have you ever wondered: Am I a human being? Ze Frank suggests a series of simple questions that will determine this. Please relax and follow the prompts. Let’s begin …First, you should know that this is not a ‘test’ of the sort you will find on your Facebook page. You will not discover what your totem animal is, what time of day you’re at your best or what your Star Trek name would be in Klingon
.I took the test first, and I want it on record, that I have never – even as a child, eaten a booger! Let that be engraved on my headstone, if my survivors draw a blank – as I suspect they will. Mind, there is no judgement here. Undoubtedly, I have done much sillier things than you, and we’ll know it by the time the test shakes out. That said, Ze Frank will ask a lot of other questions. Some will make you laugh, others may bring tears, and many will cause you to raise your hand in admission of being human. For instance:” Have you ever laughed or smiled when someone said something poopty to you, then spent the rest of the day wondering why you acted that way?” (I’ve spent years wondering) Ze Frank asks questions which range from the ridiculous to the sublimely tragic – which after all, are part of life.
Who is TED?
“Our Mission: To Spread ideas”
TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. On TED.com, we’re building a clearinghouse of free knowledge from the world’s most inspired thinkers — and a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other, both online and at TED and TEDx events around the world, all year long.
In fact, everything we do — from our TED Talks videos to the projects sparked by the TED Prize, from the global TED community to the TED-Ed lesson series — is driven by this goal: How can we best spread great ideas?
TED is owned by a nonprofit, nonpartisan foundation. Our agenda is to make great ideas accessible and spark conversation.
