Graham Hancock may be wrong but his heart (and head) are in the right place. TED may be right (about Reality) but they seem to be doing it wrong.
I have been following with interest the controversy surrounding Graham Hancock's TED talk video and the TED officials' decision to remove it from their Youtube channel.
I have long appreciated Hancock's speculative non-fiction. His ideas may well turn out to be incorrect but they do not deserve to be "sequestered" simply because they are incompatible with the TED organization's apparently prevailing preference for a materialist agenda.
Of course, where TED is paying the bills they can do what they will with their properties. But in the much larger public space where they do not exert control they seem to be fomenting a massive Streisand Effect that weakens their reputation and diminishes their credibility.
Graham Hancock's post on Google+ contains numerous links that provide background and commentary on this matter for those interested.
