- When Bran Ferren was just 9, his parents took him to see the Pantheon in Rome - and it changed everything. In that moment, he began to understand how the tools of science and engineering become more powerful when combined with art, with design and beauty. Ever since, he's been searching for a convincing modern-day equivalent to Rome's masterpiece. Stay tuned to the end of the talk for his unexpected suggestion.

Glad RDJ mentioned this man briefly on JRE, very inspirational talk
Just heard it at the end!
same here
JRE with Robert Downey jr. brought me here!!
Just heard it at the end!
@@BREAKOUT444 me too lol
Same. He should get this guy on the podcast.
@@schlaghappy Totally. Very interesting guy.
@@chulhogan1445 \m/ we're JRE bros \m/
RDJ said something about this guy had to come look
Makuhita Hariyama EXACTLY!!!! lol
Same.
I am here from that podcast too
On the very end of the "Joe Rogan Experience" Podcast? Given what they were really digging into conversing about... I wish they kept rolling... Fascinating...
I am very happy my Pantheon has given someone inspiration to create new, innovative things of beauty. The beauties and fascination with architecture did not die with me or my empire. The successive generations of man have created beauties beyond anything I could have imagined. Keep building, Keep Creating. Art and Architecture can be one and the same. They must be.
Funny guy
Yo Hadrian.
beautiful talk. easily one of my favourite TED talks of all time.
"failure is an necessary ingredient to success" is an extremely valuable and important thing to learn. sadly, most schools teach the very opposite.
RDJ on JRE name-dropping "Bran Ferren" like an after credits scene. On brand af!
How the 2000-years old ancient Pantheon in Rome inspired his life is the subject behind this talk delivered by Bran Ferren. It gives lots of insights about art, engineering and architecture. Combining all these elements, one can create an everlasting masterpiece, he says. We agree. Highly recommended.
Thanks for sharing my post
Yup..here from JRE with RDJ!
I think his proposition is vividly clear that technologies should be meaningful, that everyone has the potential to make things happen by making art and science as way of life, that idealism is never luxury when it could actually direct our motivations and transform them for our utility, so on and so forth. Brill!
JRE with Robert Downey jr. brought me here to! Joe, could you please have a podcast with Bran and Elon together....
Who is here after they heard RDJ mention the name “bran ferren” on JRE
I love this video. I was brought here by RDjr he mentioned Bran Ferren as they were wrapping up his visit with JRE. Thank you guys, it's content like this that really inspires the American Culture and Global development of future society!
if the internet blossoms there will be rarely need to travel except for adventure ! and i believe true adventure is sailing , cycling , wingsuiting , trekking , ballooning , swimming , walking , dancing , eating , drinking , hearing , smelling , feeling etc .. so vehicles suck ...
YES!
Who's here from Joe Rogan?
Art+Engineering = Architecture (if Pure and True)
Thanks mr. stark
I'M JUST LIKE A LIL BOY, PLAYING WITH HIS DMT WHEN HE'S NERVOUS.
LOL bro that's next level only some will understand ;) are we ready?
LOL. I can see trolls using this.
Robot Car: "Operator, obstruction on road. Analysis shows it to be... a suitcase. Please clarify."
Driver: *giggle* "it's a dead body"
Robot Car to all other Cars: "Dead body on Highway 67 south of Derpyderp shoe store."
Driver: *giggle*
That's why unlike his assumption, it will require more than one driver to assess things. To begin, there will probably be "moderators" for things like that, along with the use of large data sets.
you know what I wanted to get to?
BRILLIANT!!!
Thank you for sharing!
Great talk! Inspiring and diving into a problem that should have been tackled long ago, traffic.
I want to get from point A to point B and in order to do this, i need to drive. I don't actually want to drive, but it is the only way for me to achieve that goal relatively fast. I'd prefer the trip to take the least amount of time possible, but this is no option today with so many (too many?) vehicles on the road, all controlled by different people with different driving abilities.
Technology is so far ahead these days (and makes the technology we use today seem so prehistoric) that I am confident that it will do the job for me, probably even better, thus leaving me with extra time to do what I really want to do.
The fact that money will be such a big issue on this really bothers me. This will be such an improvement to the lives of all humans and humanity itself that we can't let money obstruct us in achieving this, but that's a whole different story. Thanks Ted!
Inspiring! I really like this speech. Art, design and engineering together do create a beautiful place... and, autonomous vehicles for the future!!!
I think this talk should be renamed "the birth of the autonomous vehicle."
you're thinking too concretely. It's not about that. It's about the concept and paradigm that autonomous vehicles is just an example of.
It's the connection between the autonomous vehicle and the concept that matters. everyone already knows about autonomous vehicles.
it's about how you see it.
Absolutely wonderful
Thank you for this brilliant talk.🌷🌹🌷
wisdom to revisit again and again.
This is a Must Watch
Alright, this was brilliant. I mean, I see the unification of humanity rather than a global government.
This, this... THIS! is just the beginning... for us. All our ancestors and everything they have done, to push us into this moment here and now, with everything it contains. Has made a platform where we can all easily and respectfully work together to achieve the necessary miracles, to make the future better for ourselves, our children and our grand children. I'm totally down.
I felt that way seeing La Sagrada familia in Barcelona. Also RDJ sent me here!!
Combining the virtual world to physical world would also a tremendous leap...
"A better world, filled with autonomous vehicles... [Requiring] a lot of money and hard work...."
Okay, I enjoyed Ferren's talk until he began lobbying for what amounts to (AT LEAST) tens of millions of autonomous vehicles.
How about a much leaner (i.e., less resource intensive) and more elementary transportation system instead? That is, a coherent, comprehensive, and efficient public transit network.
I find it somewhat irritating that Ferren's "vision" is to replace one capital resource-sucking monstrosity with.... another capital resource-sucking monstrosity.
I'll let others speculate about his motives.
I disagree with the pyramid statement , it's a beautiful amalgamation of art and engineering !
the only thing i think he got wrong is when autonomous vehicles are common place the fuel use will go up not down. each vehicle will be more efficient which will make their use more desirable - just as low power large TV screens are used as billboards thus increasing the demand for electricity.
My suggestion is to develop hybrid air-ships; no more dependence on roads or bridges. powered by wind and solar power - as with the INTORA firebird.
What an inspiring speech! Well said!
wow, what a beautiful, inspiring talk
All the great innovations seem to be from combining seemingly distant ideas.
Love this talk, kinda reminds me of 'everything is a remix'.
Not sure I agree with the whole 'experiencing reality > tech' point. Variety is nice, but I think it's a bit hypocritical to reject such a potentially broad sweep of reality as 'less important'...
He's not saying either one is less important, he's saying it's important to experience reality to better appreciate our technology.
Bran Ferren: To create for the ages, let's combine art and engineering
TED Talk...
I am in awe
if bran can do that with the pantheon 🏛 I’m betting he would do some other wonders if he did an item on the parthenon and they way they found out about the intricate way the columns were made in the renovation
Was that a reference to the Big Chicken in marietta?
Polymaths FTW!
The tremble in his voice..
Ha!!! Tu ai castigat la monstrii recomand? :)
wtf?! peste tot pe unde merg pe internet..e cineva care ma recunoaste :D I think i like it! :)
Vrei sa zici... megusta. Pa-dum-tshhhh :D Peace out!
what fucking about it?
I was watching this, and trying to guess what the current day equvilant of the pantheon was. Then i realized that i was stairing at it the wole time... (my phone)
Also, i am a cab driver and the potential economic benefit of not having to pay people like me to get from A to B has to be enormous.
I am an artist by both passion and experience I learned to draw at a very young age of 4 but later perfected it between the ages 21 and 23. Now I how to do most things I could't a lot of things I shouldn't and hit the nail on the head in life and be a very young successful man with a passion for art experience in a Herbalife Company and i call it Beyond Nutritious .
Wut? English rip
Salvador Bernal he was advertising his shitty company by asserting that he "perfected" art in his 20s.
The combination of artist and engineer is called a designer.
the beginning was a bit drawn out, but all in all a good TED talk
I am going to assume RDJ was going to tell Joe this guy has a custom colored mic that matches his beard 🤔
I totally think that Engineering is an Art, life also is an art but unfortunately Artists are rare !
those who are not creative enough have not discover yet the real sense of Art.
JRE got me here even if Joe had taken his headphones by then XD
I disagree with the pyramid statement. He also has a very optimistic view of the future of autonomous vehicles. ... not sure what to think of this.
wow zach galifianakis has really grown up
13:00
Very inspiring! :)
hi grandpa
Wow that is very intresting
Nice stuff
Tnx.
Its called Architecture
he should become an architect..
Bob Downey sent me here
Who else is here from Robert Downey Jr. on JRE?
O yaşta mimar sinan ı görse demek uzaya yürüyerek çıkarmış üstat 😉
Wow! Did EVERYBODY end up here from JRE? (The power of online influence.)
or the age of self driving cars will be plagued with software/hardware faults and/or continuous attacks from hackers lol. in theory it sounds all perfect and flawless though.
Video games are good examples , look at Metal Gear Solid for example.
WTF is this guy talking about? Pantheon to autonomous cars? How is this disjointed talk worthy of TED?
First, the Pantheon isn't that amazing. So what if it's the largest, concrete dome. We have stadiums that are 5 times as large that are fully retractable.
Second, the 5 "miracles?" What's miraculous about these? They were all created for a very specific useful purpose...
1 - GPS system... Created by computer scientists, engineers, and physicists
2 - Road system... Cartography? Satellite imaging? It's data loaded into GPS systems at this point, so 1 and 2 are kinda the same.
3 - Networking... Computer scientists, engineers, IT professionals...
4 - Machine vision... Computer scientists, engineers...
5 - Someone with vision? If this has been something revisited for decades, how is this anything special that we now have the technology to actually do it?
Is it a miracle that it's being repurposed and used in combination?
Third, where's the link to art in that? The person with "vision?" The repurposing of technologies?
Fourth, why autonomous cars? You want a modern "Pantheon" go look at CERN or a nuclear reactor or an aircraft carrier or the Curiosity Mars rover...
I think you missed the point of his talk. The Pantheon is impressive because it was made thousands of years ago, and required new technologies to be created before it could come to life.
The reason autonomous cars are being compared as opposed to things like the LHC or a reactor is that they require more broad reaches of technologies. You need the same things as previous versions (engines, wheels, safety equipment), but you also need never before used tech like mobile connectivity, pattern recognization and GPS to all work together.
Finally, as far as I can tell, he just uses the term "miracles" because they are unique, improbable occurrences (like a 'miracle' buzzer beater in your favorite sport), not because he's giving credit to some deity. It is TED, after all, and I trust them to recruit people who promote thinking.
James Dreger
"and required new technologies to be created before it could come to life."
And the LHC didn't?
"The reason autonomous cars are being compared as opposed to things like the LHC or a reactor is that they require more broad reaches of technologies... you also need never before used tech... to all work together."
Statements like this only highlight how little people know about what the LHC is, what it does, and what is required to make it work.
The networking, database, and data processing alone goes far beyond what's needed for an autonomous car.
It generates antimatter and proved the Higgs-boson, and that's only 1 of the 7 detectors, which if you've ever seen the size of those technological marvels, makes the pantheon look like a Lincoln log house built by a 3-year-old.
And that's even ignoring the fact that the LHC is one of the largest and longest running international projects.
"he just uses the term "miracles" because they are unique, improbable occurrences..."
First, how did you determine that they're improbable? We have a sample size of one to go from, and in that sample size, those things were created. That makes them 100% probable. To say they're improbable would require we find other intelligent forms of life with varying levels of technology and determine how many of them created something similar to GPS.
Second, technology is a natural progression on top of each other. You might as well claim a thumb drive is improbable because all we used to have were floppy disks.
"It is TED, after all, and I trust them to recruit people who promote thinking."
And his point was to mix and and design, like the Pantheon, and that mixing in of art does not apply to autonomous cars or any technologies that go into it. His entire talk might as well been "I like the pantheon, and autonomous cars are cool."
So Tesla cars are the next Pantheon
I disagree with his premise: Modern technology such as integrated circuits, is here to stay. Modern art, maybe not.
That crying breakdown of the voice happens a to me as well when I lecture or instruct. Why is that?
Nerves usually.
JRE brought me here too
I find most modern art unworthy to be in the public eye.
tesla has to do this. Elon senpai please
Artgineering
Rather then envisioning everyone riding in Automatons, conscious wheelchairs, as Bran does, how about an artsy bicycle, then he can lose some weight and guide us to fanciful engineering. Or he could donate his riches to the poor in society, and get a job in a factory doing physical labor where he will get into shape.
Agreed. Technology should reduce labor so we may put our efforts elsewhere, but it shouldn't keep us from having a healthy body.
The roof is half a toroidal. We cant see evolution as a linear track.
I wanted to like this, but he didn't show something new that he created himself or that we didn't see before, I don't like talks that just point to other successful things and says 'isn't that successful, go do more of that'... it's the same thing motivational speakers use that point to Bill Gates or other rich celebs for you to emulate in exchange for substance in their talk
>starts technical talk
>talks about miracles
JRE RDJ
God, five miracles, a direct connection to the heaven and the insufficant human...
none of these people even know who terence mckenna is, theyl never figure out anything useful. simply because they are not alone mentally. they have no sense of confide nce. & when it comes down to risking their mental well being to take the next emotional step, they will succumb to fear
Nice talk but don't disparage the great pyramid hahahah! It's internal engineering is more ingenious than the Pantheon could ever dream of. But seriously the creators of the Pantheon (and other roman & greek structures) most likely made it using the limited knowledge that managed to survive through the years from the earlier times
Edit: i don't mean to take away from the meaning of this, just saying
If I'm getting an automotive vehicle, I'm getting a Dogde Charger.
The concept of autonomous vehicles I find repulsive. The idea kills the necessity of man needing danger to thrive. People do daring things because they're unsafe. For example if sky diving with a wing suit were safe, do you think people would do it, or would they find something else that's more risky? Obviously they would go for something more risky. That's the thrill of life. A machine that flies itself we have. They're called drones. That isn't a good thing. A computer doesn't disobey orders, when they're unethical. In fact computers are typically stupid. They do what you tell them to do without question. Now here's the other truth about autonomous vehicles. We're in the age of the computer geek. Viruses, hackers, and espionage is all digital today. So lets just say I was a tyrant for a second. If you had an autonomous vehicle, I could crash your vehicle and kill you. Look at what the NSA has already done. Of course there would be abuse of power with this invention. It's a perverted idea. Now I do agree, art and science are the same things, in combination that create masterpieces. The negative side is, they also create abominations, like autonomous vehicles. We can build electric aircraft today. We can build electric cars today. We can generate all of the world's energy needs without fossil fuels with an initial investment today, and in the long run, we would reduce pollution, end wars over resources, and relieve suffering in countless places across the world. The problem isn't the technology. The problem is the oligarchy in charge at the moment. The world is never going to be a perfect place, because if there's nothing to strive towards, people will strive in it's destruction for something new and different. In science and art, there's something that you're missing that creates masterpieces. Creativity. Something that only comes from chaos, pain, suffering and desperation. So if you want to create a world that's perfect, you're missing the entire point of humanity and life.
tl:dr
"Creativity. Something that only comes from chaos, pain, suffering and desperation." Sorry bro, but that's some ole bullshit. Creativity can be birthed just as easily from happiness, bliss, contentment and appreciation.
godofrock yeah get off your damn high horse. Your first line alone demonstrates pompous pretension that no one who truly understood creativity would display. Congratulations on erecting a straw man based on your own narrow conception of what creativity 'should' be. you mean cite? Mustaine and Bieber are pretty horrible examples and there's tonnes of savant children in kindergarten who make beautiful art that is arguably on par with what you deem to be "great". Kid's who do not have to go through a "struggle". If you truly understood creativity, you'd understand the malleability of subjectivity and how inherent that is to the creative process. Creativity is driven by inspiration. "The struggle" that you speak of is merely one fount for said inspiration but by no means is it the only one.
There's a time and place for everything. It isn't here and now, but the truth is coming.
godofrock yeah
You said that ' The concept of autonomous vehicles I find repulsive. The idea kills the necessity of man needing danger to thrive. People do daring things because they're unsafe.'
It's true but it seems you fail to understand one thing. That the dangers of different ages come from different sources. You woudn't go hunting a bear bare hand just for the sake of danger. Instead, you will go to supermarket and buy your food like the rest of us. Very adventurous indeed. But it's a norm nowadays: we remove danger from one activity and invent another to compensate. Driving or skydiving are both relatively new concepts which replaced previous dangers of living. But I feel like it's time for driving to go. It's called progress, you automate basics to move into exploration of more advanced things. Today driving became one of such basics.
You thrive for a dangerous adventure? Enjoy avoiding a drone sent by the corrupt government to kill you, or surviving automated vehicle crash. (hello there, I robot). Dangers will always be in our lives, only sources change. So move on and stop clinging to the outdated.
This bloke thinks the Pyramids of Giza aren't impressive and that they were simple to build? Something tells me his engineering skills are in desperate need of renewal. Nice talk but there is something off-putting about flaunting his privileged background.
agreeeeeeeed
Bran Ferren is a good man, but he presents like a teacher who would make me sleepy. Too scripted, nervous, too much dialogue, I lost track of his point. Not a very enjoyable Ted talk sadly.
i loved it, had no problems following. what i suspect is that you are were not really interested. :P
d(^_^o)
Rome, brace for tourist plague!
pretty disjointed talk.. sounded like a forced pitch for autonomous vehicles
Videogames.
Thanks for completely botching the special effects in Star Trek 5, dude.
You can have your autonomous vehicles, I'm gonna be riding my motorcycle and grabbing gears in my mustang while the zombies sleep in their metal coffins on the way to work.

Unless you've got a major in communication you shouldn't be able to perfectly go up in front of 125+ people and spout out a 20 minute speech.
Give this guy a break, at least he got through it all.
Not one of my favorite teds
I was watching this, and trying to guess what the current day equvilant of the pantheon was. Then i realized that i was stairing at it the wole time... (my phone)
Also, i am a cab driver and the potential economic benefit of not having to pay people like me to get from A to B has to be enormous.
That crying breakdown of the voice happens a to me as well when I lecture or instruct. Why is that?
I have done a little work for Bran and attended a few of his meetings at Applied Minds. The tremor in his voice comes from his unbounded enthusiasm and excitement about the subject matter.
