[INTRO Paragraph]

1. Local politics -- schools, zoning, council elections -- hit us where
we live. So why don't more of us actually get involved? Is it apathy?
Dave Meslin says no. He identifies the 7 barriers that keep us from
taking part in our communities, even when we truly care.

2. Backed by stunning illustrations, David Christian narrates a complete
history of the universe, from the Big Bang to the Internet, in a
riveting 18 minutes. This is "Big History": an enlightening, wide-angle
look at complexity, life and humanity, set against our slim share of the
cosmic timeline.

3. At TEDxGPGP, Jackson Browne plays a song he started writing last
April aboard Mission Blue Voyage, the Sylvia Earle-inspired trip to
brainstorm ways to save the ocean. "If I could be anywhere," he sings,
"anywhere right now, I would be here."

4. Activist Caroline Casey tells the story of her extraordinary life,
starting with a revelation (no spoilers). In a talk that challenges
perceptions, Casey asks us all to move beyond the limits we may think we
have.

5. The nerve disease ALS left graffiti artist TEMPT paralyzed from head
to toe, forced to communicate blink by blink. In a remarkable talk at
TEDActive, entrepreneur Mick Ebeling shares how he and a team of
collaborators built an open-source invention that gave the artist -- and
gives others in his circumstance -- the means to make art again.
