The TED talk that I watched was on the Illuminati. The Illuminati is something that has been around for a long time and is still allegedly going on in today’s society. This talk basically just went over the history of the Illuminati and where it originated from.
Some important ideas I took from this speech is when the Illuminati started which was in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt. He was a church professor that was stressed out about the ideologies of churches back then. He then took his ideas and views and started a secret society now known as the Illuminati.
He started this based off a group called the Freemasons and recruited people off of their high rankings in that group. This group was also based on people with wealth and class. Many believed these societies tried to undermine religions, but the main idea if this group was just to keep religion away from governance. Right when this group had a strong influence on the government, all societies were banned. Today, there are still theories and multiple conspiracies that people of high social status especially in the music industry are still involved in the Illuminati.
In this talk the speaker has great transition and a great flow while speaking. He is very clear and you can understand what he is talking about. The pictures go along with what he is saying as well and are visually clear.
