My TEDx talk: You are not normal!
OK, I know that’s not a normal kind of title. Let me explain…
One of the things that I love the most about my training in the Earth Sciences (PhD in Geology) is that it has given me a deep understanding of time. It really broadens how I think of things.
So instead of asking, “What is normal for how human beings live?” with a “now” kind of implied in there… I ask what is normal for humans over the entire time that our species has existed. Not just what seems normal now.
Add to that the fact that I lived for several years as a squatter, in a tiny little cabin in the woods, which gave 
me a very different perspective about what we actually need to live (and be happy), as opposed to what we now consider we must have in order to be normal.
So that’s the basis of my TEDx talk, delivered at the fantastically organized TEDxChilliwack event on April 14, 2018. My aim is just to get people to think about these things in a somewhat different way. Here’s the video, hope you like it (and if you do, I would appreciate it if you help get my message out by sharing it!)
