"I'm putting a TED Talk together right now. I'm not done, but it's going to be about how the only way we're going to move forward is by working together. What we've been doing for the last 2000 years just isn't working."

"What inspired you to create a presentation for TED?"

"I was working at Burning Man. And it was a gorgeous morning - and there was a good show going on. I remember looking over the crowd and something didn't seem quite right. Then I saw that people were forming these these little cliques - these little groups of people. They weren't TOGETHER. And somehow I felt they were missing the point. Burning Man is this progressive event. But I was seeing separation and not togetherness. So that day I decided I would look everyone in the eye and say 'Good morning' to them. Many people were shocked that a stranger would do that. But it brought togetherness. The Good Morning Initiative gets rid of the fear of the other."
