First of all, for those of you who

Najprej naj vsem,
ki mojega dela ne poznajo, povem,
ki mojega dela ne poznajo, povem,
00:14
are not familiar with my work,
1

00:16
I create multicultural characters,
2
4413
2802
da ustvarjam večkulturne like,
00:19
so characters from lots of different backgrounds.
3
7215
2925
torej like z različnim poreklom.
00:22
So before the present is the new future,
4
10140
2257
Zato naj, preden bo
sedanjost nova prihodnost,
sedanjost nova prihodnost,
00:24
a bit about the past is that I grew up in a family
5
12397
3442
povem nekaj o preteklosti;
odrasla sem v družini,
odrasla sem v družini,
00:27
that was multi-everything -- multi-racial, multi-cultural,
6
15839
2639
ki je bila multi-vse --
več-rasna, multi-kulturna,
več-rasna, multi-kulturna,
00:30
black and white, Caribbean,

18478
2581
črnska in bela, karibska,
irsko-ameriška, nemško-ameriška.
irsko-ameriška, nemško-ameriška.
00:33
Irish-American, German-American.
8
21059
1785
00:34
There was Dominican
music blasting from stereos.
music blasting from stereos.
9
22844
4184
Dominikanska glasba je
nabijala iz zvočnikov.
nabijala iz zvočnikov.
00:39
There were Christians and Jews.
10
27028
2882
Bili so kristjani in judje.
00:41
That's a long story filled with
11
29910
1820
To je dolga zgodba polna
intrig ter medverske krivde in sramu.
intrig ter medverske krivde in sramu.
00:43
intrigue and interfaith guilt and shame.
12
31730
2682
00:46
But I was totally immersed in this world
13
34412
4488
Bila sem povsem potopljena v ta svet,
00:50
that was filled with everybody,
14
38900
2062
ki je bil napolnjen z vsemi,
00:52
and then I went on to the United Nations school,
15
40962
3040
in nato sem se šolala
na šoli Združenih narodov,
na šoli Združenih narodov,
00:56
and that just completely —
16
44002
1686
in to je čisto --
00:57
So I began sort of developing these voices
17
45688
4083
Zato sem začela nekako
razvijati te glasove in te ljudi,
razvijati te glasove in te ljudi,
01:01
and these people,
18
49771
1886
01:03
all of whom were loosely based
on people I really know,
on people I really know,
19
51657
2370
vse nekako osnovane na ljudeh,
ki jih zares poznam,
ki jih zares poznam,
01:06
and so, for example, in performing them,
20
54027
4183
in tako sem, na primer,
z nastopanjem zares hotela postati oni.
z nastopanjem zares hotela postati oni.
01:10
I would really try to inhabit them.
21
58210
1958
01:12
And for example,
22
60168
1357
Na primer, ne govorim zares takole,
ampak to je bil eden od mojih ljudi,
ampak to je bil eden od mojih ljudi,
01:13
I don't really talk like that,
23
61525
2175
01:15
but that was one of my people,
24
63700
2794
01:18
and I'm going to bring a few of my friends --
25
66494
3084
in pripeljala bom
nekaj svojih prijateljev --
nekaj svojih prijateljev --
01:21
I think of them as my friends —
26
69578
1552
zame so kot prijatelji --
01:23
to this stage, in this spirit of the idea
27
71130
2482
na ta oder v tem duhu ideje,
da je sedanjost nova prihodnost,
da je sedanjost nova prihodnost,
01:25
that the present is the new future,
28
73612
2392
01:28
in sort of a meta way,
29
76004
1956
na nekakšen meta način,
ker sem razmišljala in prihodnost je zame,
ker sem razmišljala in prihodnost je zame,
01:29
because I thought about it, and the future, for me,
30
77960
1990
01:31
what can be so frightening
31
79950
1478
pri njej je tako strašljivo,
da ne vem, kaj prihaja.
da ne vem, kaj prihaja.
01:33
is that I don't know what's coming.
32
81428
1966
01:35
I don't know if that's true for other people,
33
83394
1462
Ne vem, če to drži za druge,
toda pri razmišljanju o tem,
toda pri razmišljanju o tem,
01:36
but that notion of thinking about
34
84856
2288
01:39
how we can understand the future
35
87144
3183
kako lahko razumemo prihodnost
in predvidimo rezultate,
in predvidimo rezultate,
01:42
and predict outcomes,
36
90327
1671
01:43
for me, it's terrifying to not
know what might be coming.
know what might be coming.
37
91998
4394
zame je strašljivo ne vedeti,
kaj bi lahko bilo
kaj bi lahko bilo
01:48
And so the idea that there are questions
38
96392
2458
In tako ideja, da so tu vprašanja,
ki jih nisem še nikoli videla,
ki jih nisem še nikoli videla,
01:50
that I've never seen
39
98850
1520
01:52
that my people are going to answer,
40
100370
2476
na katera bodo odgovarjali moji ljudje,
01:54
and some of these characters
have been with me for ages,
have been with me for ages,
41
102846
1740
in nekateri so z mano že zelo dolgo,
nekateri sploh nimajo imen,
nekateri sploh nimajo imen,
01:56
some of them don't even have names,
42
104586
1754
01:58
I don't know what's going to happen.
43
106340
1570
sploh ne vem, kaj se bo zgodilo.
01:59
I don't know what's coming,
44
107910
1698
Ne vem, kaj prihaja,
02:01
and all I can do is remind myself
45
109608
2795
vse, kar lahko naredim,
je to, da se opomnim,
je to, da se opomnim,
02:04
that I told Chris I'd fly by the seat of my pants,
46
112403
2331
da sem rekla Chrisu, da bom improvizirala
02:06
and now that I'm up here it sort of feels like
47
114734
1874
in zdaj, ko sem tu, to izgleda nekako
kot tiste sanje, v katerih nimaš hlač,
kot tiste sanje, v katerih nimaš hlač,
02:08
that dream where you don't have any pants on,
48
116608
2700
02:11
and so I suppose I'm going to be
49
119308
1772
in verjetno bo to sedaj
improvizacija brez hlač.
improvizacija brez hlač.
02:13
flying by the seat of my ass.
50
121080
3427
02:16
That said, let's just see who comes out.
51
124507
1898
In zdaj poglejmo kdo bo pač prišel ven.
02:18
May we have the first question:
52
126405
1435
Naj vidimo prvo vprašanje:
02:19
"Do you ever get headaches
53
127840
1184
"Ali imaš kdaj glavobole
zaradi mikročipov, vsajenih v možganih?"
zaradi mikročipov, vsajenih v možganih?"
02:21
from the microchips implanted in your brain?"
54
129024
2558
02:23
Right.
55
131582
3278
Dobro.
02:26
Okay.
56
134860
1600
Okej.
02:28
Well first of all, I'll just say
57
136460
3000
Najprej naj samo rečem,
da upam, da me dobro slišite.
da upam, da me dobro slišite.
02:31
that I hope you can hear me okay.
58
139460
2516
02:33
My name is Lorraine Levine,
59
141976
2140
Ime mi je Lorraine Levine,
02:36
and the idea of microchips implanted in my brain,
60
144116
5974
in ideja o mikročipih v moji glavi,
02:42
frankly, just putting on my glasses reminds me
61
150090
5320
po pravici povedano, že samo,
ko si nadenem očala, pomislim,
ko si nadenem očala, pomislim,
02:47
of thank God I'm not wearing the Google Glasses.
62
155410
2730
hvala bogu, da to niso Google očala.
02:50
No offense to them. I'm glad that you all enjoy them,
63
158140
3188
Brez zamere. Veseli me,
da jih vsi radi nosite, a pri mojih letih,
da jih vsi radi nosite, a pri mojih letih,
02:53
but at my age,
64
161328
1576
02:54
just putting on the regular ones I have
65
162904
2214
že samo, ko si nataknem navadna očala,
pride preveč informacij.
pride preveč informacij.
02:57
already gives me too much information.
66
165118
2606
02:59
Do you understand what I'm saying to you?
67
167724
2226
Ali me razumete, kaj hočem povedati?
03:01
I don't need to know more. I don't want to know.
68
169950
2940
Ni treba, da vem več. Nočem vedeti.
03:04
That's it. That's enough.
69
172890
1650
To je to. To je dovolj.
03:06
I love you all. You're wonderful.
70
174540
2109
Rada vas imam vse. Čudoviti ste.
03:08
It's fabulous to be here with such big machers
71
176649
2753
Čudovito je letos biti spet tukaj
s takimi velikimi maherji.
s takimi velikimi maherji.
03:11

72
179402
2991

03:14

Naslednje, prosim.

75
187896
1096
"So zmenki dolgočasni, zdaj,
ko se ljudje razmnožujejo aseksualno?"
ko se ljudje razmnožujejo aseksualno?"
03:20
now that humans reproduce asexually?"
76
188992
2584
03:23
Who do we got?
77
191576
3860
Koga smo dobili?
03:27
Hi, um, okay, hi everybody.
78
195436

1544
Ime mi je Nereida.
03:31
I just want to say first of all
80
199820
1328
Najprej naj povem,
03:33
that dating is never boring under any circumstance.
81

2522
da zmenki niso v nobenih
okoliščinah dolgočasni.

03:35
But I am very excited to be here right now,
82
203670
1720
Ampak sem zelo vesela,
da sem sedaj tu
da sem sedaj tu
03:37
so I am just trying to remind myself that,
83
205390
2414
zato se samo skušam opomniti, da,
03:39
you know, like, the purpose
of being here and everything,

84
207804
1785
saj veste, zakaj sem tu
in tako dalje.

03:41
I mean, trying to answer these
questions, it is very exciting.

85
209589
2705
Odgovarjati na ta vprašanja
je zelo razburljivo.

03:44
But I also, I just need to acknowledge
86
212294
1896
A hkrati moram priznati,
da je TED neverjetna izkušnja zdaj,
da je TED neverjetna izkušnja zdaj,
03:46
that TED is an incredible experience right now
87
214190
2592
03:48

216782
1950
v sedanjosti, hočem samo reči,
Isabel Allende. Isabel Allende!
Isabel Allende. Isabel Allende!
03:50
Isabel Allende. Isabel Allende!
89
218732
2240
03:52
Okay, maybe it doesn't mean,
90
220972
1572
Ok, mogoče to ne pomeni,
seveda nekaj pomeni vam,
seveda nekaj pomeni vam,
03:54
of course it means something to you,
91
222544
1296
03:55
but to me, it's like, another level, okay?
92
223840
1560
a meni čisto na drugi ravni, ok?
03:57
Because I'm Latina and I really appreciate the fact
93
225400
2059
Ker sem Latinoameričanka
in res cenim dejstvo,
in res cenim dejstvo,
03:59
that there are role models here that I can really,
94
227459
2858

04:02
I don't know, I just need to say that.
95
230317
1498

04:03
That's incredible to me, and sometimes
when I'm nervous and everything like that,

96
231815
2778
Zame je neverjetno in včasih,
ko sem živčna in te stvari,
ko sem živčna in te stvari,
04:06
I just need to, like, say some affirmations
97
234593
2340
moram preprosto izreči kakšne
pozitivne trditve, ki mi lahko pomagajo.
pozitivne trditve, ki mi lahko pomagajo.
04:08
that can help me.
98
236933
2404
04:11
I usually just try to use, like, the three little words
99
239337
2058
Navadno skušam uporabiti, tri besedice,
zaradi katerih se vedno počutim bolje:
zaradi katerih se vedno počutim bolje:
04:13
that always make me feel better:

Sotomayor, Sotomayor, Sotomayor. (Laughter)
101
243879
2981
Sotomayor, Sotomayor, Sotomayor. (Smeh)
04:18
Just, it really helps me to get grounded.
102
246860
1757
To me res prizemlji.
04:20
Now I can use Allende, Allende, Allende,
103
248617

Zdaj lahko rečem

104

04:24
it's so incredible to be here, and I knew
that we were going to have these questions.
that we were going to have these questions.
105
252480
2434
čudovito je biti tu, vedela sem,
da bodo vprašanja.
da bodo vprašanja.
04:26
I was so nervous and I was thinking
just, like, oh my God, oh my God,
just, like, oh my God, oh my God,
106
254914
2253
Bila sem živčna in mislila sem
samo o, moj bog...
samo o, moj bog...
04:29
and reminding me, because
I've had, like, some very,
I've had, like, some very,
107
257167
1977
in se opominjala, imela sem pač,
04:31
especially since the last time we were here at TED,
108
259144
1593
sploh, ko sem bila zadnjič na TED,
je bilo pač neverjetno,
je bilo pač neverjetno,
04:32
it was, like, unbelievable,
109
260737
1326
04:34
and then right after that, like,
110
262063
1204
in takoj po tem
se je zgodilo toliko norega,
se je zgodilo toliko norega,
04:35
so many crazy things happened, like,
111
263267
954
04:36
we ended up going to the White House to perform.
112
264221
1744
šli smo nastopat v Belo hišo.
04:37
That was, like, amazing,
113
265965
1224
To je bilo totalno super in stala sem tam
04:39
and I'm standing there,
114
267189
1020
in si mislila, ne reci: "O, moj bog."
Ne reci: "O, moj bog."
Ne reci: "O, moj bog."
04:40
and I was just like, please don't say, "Oh my God."
115
268209
1510
04:41
Don't say, "Oh my God."
116
269719
754
04:42
And I just kept saying it: "Oh my God. Oh my God."
117
270473
2007
Ponavljala sem:
"O, moj bog, o, moj bog."
"O, moj bog, o, moj bog."
04:44
And, you know, I kept thinking to myself, like,
118
272480
1936
In, veste, po glavi mi je šlo:
04:46
President Obama has to come
up here at the same podium,
up here at the same podium,
119
274416
2755
predsednik Obama
bo prišel sem na ta isti podij,
bo prišel sem na ta isti podij,
04:49
and I'm standing here saying, "Oh my God."
120
277171
1340
jaz pa tu govorim: "O, moj bog."
Pomisli, ločitev cerkve in države.
Pomisli, ločitev cerkve in države.
04:50
It's like, the separation of church and state.
121
278511
1353
04:51
It's just, I couldn't, like, I couldn't process.
122
279864
1917
Tega sploh nisem mogla dojeti.
Bilo je preveč.
Bilo je preveč.
04:53
It was really too much.
123
281781
1165
04:54
So I think I've lost my way.
124
282946
1954
In mislim, da sem se izgubila.
04:56
But what I wanted to say is that dating, for me,
125
284900
2775
Ampak hotela sem reči, da so zmenki zame,
saj veste, kolikor se mene tiče,
saj veste, kolikor se mene tiče,
04:59
you know, as far as I'm concerned,
126
287675
1746
05:01
however you reproduce, as long
as you're enjoying yourself
as you're enjoying yourself
127
289421
2619
ni važno, kako se razmnožuješ,
dokler se zabavaš
dokler se zabavaš
05:04
and it's with another consenting
asexual -- I don't know.
asexual -- I don't know.
128
292040
4070
skupaj z drugim aseksualcem -- ne vem.
05:08
You know where I'm going with that.
129
296110
1320
Saj veste, kaj mislim s tem.
Ok, ciao, gracias.
Ok, ciao, gracias.
05:09
Okay, ciao, gracias.

05:11
Okay, next question. (Applause)

06:01
But when Sarah Jones told me

349261
2899
Ampak, ko mi je Sarah Jones povedala,
da bova tu gor,

just like, and I was like, what the hell is that?
158
362147

in rekel sem, kaj za vraga je to?
06:15
You know what I'm saying, just stand up there

Samo stati na odru,

160
365135
1505
06:18
I don't want to,

366640
1035
Nočem, to je kot intelektualni
policijski pregled.
policijski pregled.
06:19
I mean, it's like an intellectual stop-and-frisk.
162
367675
2058
06:21
You know what I'm saying? (Laughter)
163
369733
1176
Saj veste, kaj mislim? (Smeh)

Nočem stati tu,

To poskušam pustiti v New Yorku.
Veste, kaj mislim?
Veste, kaj mislim?
06:27

06:29
So anyway, I would have to say
my top five songs right now

Skratka, zdaj bi moral našteti
svojih pet najljubših pesmi
svojih pet najljubših pesmi
06:32

Če hočete vedeti več o tem,

06:38
you know what I'm saying,

386155
904
lahko govorimo o anti-piratstvu in vse to,
ampak kar se mene tiče,
ampak kar se mene tiče,
06:39
we could talk about the anti-piracy and all that,
173
387059
2467
06:41
but as far as I'm concerned,
174
389526

391051
1816
veste, verjamem v Creative Commons
in mislim, da je res pomembno,

2730
06:47
that needs to be sustainable and everything,
177
395597
2336
da je vse trajnostno
06:49
and I mean, as far as I'm concerned,

401883
1834
06:55
You know what I mean?
181
403717
1384
06:57
But I'm just saying, if y'all are interested
182
405101
2464
Ampak samo pravim, če vas zanima mojih
pet pesmi, boste morali to zaklicati.
pet pesmi, boste morali to zaklicati.
06:59
in the top five songs, you need to holler at me.
183
407565
2028
07:01
You know what I'm saying?
184
409593
1568
Veste, kaj mislim?
07:03
Aight? In the future or the present. Yeah.
185
411161
2322
Okej? V prihodnosti ali sedanjosti. Ja.
07:05
Enjoy the rest of it.
186
413483
1557
Uživajte v preostanku.
07:07
Okay, next question.
187
415040
2191
Okej, naslednje vprašanje.
07:09
What do you got?
188
417231
1662
Kaj imamo?
"Koliko tvojih organov je 3D natisnjenih?"
07:10
"How many of your organs have been 3D printed?"
189
418893
1928
07:12
(Laughter)
190
420821
4030
(Smeh)
07:16
Well I have to say that I don't know about
191
424851
2118
Moram reči, da ne vem, koliko
mojih organov je bilo 3D natisnjenih,
mojih organov je bilo 3D natisnjenih,
07:18
how many of my organs
192
426969
1287
07:20
have been 3-D printed as such,
193
428256
2579
07:22
but I can tell you that it is so challenging to me,
194
430835
3155
lahko pa vam povem,
da je zame zelo zahtevno
da je zame zelo zahtevno
07:25
kind of thinking about this concept of the future
195
433990
2344
razmišljati o tej ideji prihodnosti
07:28
and that, you know, all around the world
196
436334
2673
in da povsod po svetu
07:31
parents are kind of telling their small children,
197
439007
4063
starši nekako govorijo svojim otrokom,
07:35
please, you have to eat that, you know,
198
443070
1477
prosim, to moraš pojesti, veš,
07:36
I have slaved over a hot 3D printer all day
199
444547
2724
cel dan sem garala
pri vročem 3D tiskalniku
pri vročem 3D tiskalniku
07:39
so that you can have this meal.
200
447271
1639
zato, da imaš lahko ti ta obrok.
07:40
You know, that kind of thing.
201
448910
2605
Veste in te reči.
07:43
And of course now that we have changed, you know,
202
451515
2860
In zdaj, ko smo se spremenili, veste,
na globalnem Jugu obstaja popoln
na globalnem Jugu obstaja popoln
07:46
from the global South, there is this total
203
454375
1928
07:48
kind of perspective shift that is happening around the --
204
456303
3664
preobrat perspektive glede --
07:51
You can't just say to them,
205
459967
1246
Ne morete jim samo reči,
no, nekje otroci stradajo.
no, nekje otroci stradajo.
07:53
well, there are starving children.
206
461213
1827
07:55
Well, it is the future.
207
463040
951
To je prihodnost.
Hvala bogu, nihče več ne strada.
Hvala bogu, nihče več ne strada.
07:55
Nobody is starving anymore, thank God.
208
463991
3100
07:59
But as you can tell I have kind of that optimism,
209
467091
4073
In kot lahko opazite sem
neke vrste optimistka
neke vrste optimistka
08:03
and I do hope that we can continue
210
471164
2264
in res upam,
da bomo lahko še naprej 3D tiskali.
da bomo lahko še naprej 3D tiskali.
08:05
to kind of 3D print,
211
473428
1793
08:07
well, let us just say I like to think that
212
475221
2474
Recimo le, da rada mislim,
da bomo tudi v prihodnosti imeli objavo
da bomo tudi v prihodnosti imeli objavo
08:09
even in the future we will have the publication,
213
477695
2414
08:12
kind of, you know, all the food that's fit to print.
214
480109
3846
nekako, veste, vso hrano,
ki je primerna za tiskanje.
ki je primerna za tiskanje.
08:15
But everybody, please do enjoy that,
215
483955
2262
Ampak vsi, prosim, uživajte v tem
08:18
and again, I think that you do throw
216
486227
2043
in res, mislim, da res znate prirediti
super zabavo tukaj na TED.
super zabavo tukaj na TED.
08:20
a cracking good party here at TED.
217
488270
1837
08:22
Thank you.
218
490107
1930
Hvala.
08:24
Next question. (Applause)
219
492037
4290
Naslednje vprašanje. (Aplavz)
08:28
What has changed? Okay, it's like,
220
496327
7094
Kaj se je spremenilo? Okej,
08:35
I have to think about that.
221
503421
2322
o tem moram razmisliti.
08:37
"What has changed now that women run the world?"
222
505743
4701
"Kaj se je spremenilo,
zdaj, ko ženske vodijo svet?"
zdaj, ko ženske vodijo svet?"
08:42
First of all,
223
510444
1944
Najprej, res hočem samo reči,
08:44
I really, like, I just want to say,
224
512388
1883
08:46
and my name is Bella,
225
514271
1462
in ime mi je Bella,
08:47
I just want to, like, identify myself,
226
515733
2422
hočem se samo identificirati,
08:50
that, like, as a feminist,
227
518155
3670
da kot feministka,
08:53
I, like, I really find that, like,
228
521825
4832
res ugotavljam da,
08:58
because I was born in the '90s,
229
526657
2473
ker sem bila rojena v devetdesetih
09:01
and, like, there were a lot of women who were
230
529130
5309
in je bilo tedaj veliko žensk, ki so bile,
09:06
as far as feminism was concerned,
231
534439
2181
kar se feminizma tiče,
09:08
like, maybe they didn't understand that, like,
232
536620
2686
mogoče niso razumele,
09:11
a feminist like me, like,
233
539306
3400
da feministka kot jaz,
09:14
I don't think it's required that you have to have
234
542706
2648
mislim, da ni potrebno,
da imaš določen tip glasu,
da imaš določen tip glasu,
09:17
a certain kind of voice,
235
545354
2030
09:19
or, like, a certain way of presenting yourself
236
547384
2643
ali način, kako se predstaviš,
da si feministka, ker jaz mislim,
da si feministka, ker jaz mislim,
09:22
to be feminist, because I think that, like,
237
550027
1593
09:23
feminism can be really hot,
238
551620
2750
da je feminizem lahko zelo seksi
09:26
and I think actually that it's really vital and important.
239
554370
3394
in mislim, da je to
zelo ključno in pomembno.
zelo ključno in pomembno.
09:29
Like, the quotation I'm wearing is from, like,
240
557764
2406
Na primer, citat, ki ga nosim,
je od Glorie Steinem
je od Glorie Steinem
09:32
Gloria Steinem,
241
560170
1504
09:33
and, like, I'm named Bella for, like, Bella Abzug,
242
561674
3836
in poimenovana sem po Belli Abzug,
09:37
who's, like, obviously, like, a really
important feminist from, like, history,
important feminist from, like, history,
243
565510
4002
ki je očitno zelo pomembna
feministka iz zgodovine,
feministka iz zgodovine,
09:41
and like, I just think that those women, like,
244
569512
3558
in res mislim, da te ženske
09:45
really represent, like, that you can, like,
245
573070
2790
zares predstavljajo,
da si lahko ključen in osupljiv,
da si lahko ključen in osupljiv,
09:47
be vital and, like, amazing,
246
575860
2626
09:50
like, a-mazing,
247
578486
1787
mislim, totalno osupljiv
09:52
and you don't have to wear, like,
248
580273
1557
in ti ni treba nositi, recimo,
kaftana znamke Eileen Fisher
kaftana znamke Eileen Fisher
09:53
an Eileen Fisher caftan,
249
581830
2735
09:56
just to, like, prove that you are a feminist.
250
584565
2795
samo zato, da dokažeš, da si feministka.
09:59
Like, not that there's anything wrong with that,
251
587360
2833
Saj ne, da je s tem kaj narobe,
ampak moja mama pravi,
ampak moja mama pravi,
10:02
but my mom, she's like, like,
252
590193
2838
10:05
why do you have to wear pants that, like,
253
593031
4139
zakaj moraš nositi take hlače
10:09
objectify your body? I like my pants.
254
597170
3455
in objektivizirati svoje telo?
Všeč so mi moje hlače.
Všeč so mi moje hlače.
10:12
Like, I like my voice.
255
600625
3001
Tako kot moj glas.
10:15
Like, she's like, why do you have to talk like —
256
603626
2231
In ona pravi, zakaj moraš govoriti kot -
10:17
Talk like what? Like, I'm expressing myself,
257
605857
3464
Govoriti kako? Izražam se
10:21
and I think that we have to, like,
258
609321
1672
in mislim, da se moramo
povezati, ne samo povprek
povezati, ne samo povprek
10:22
reach out, like, not only across, like,
259
610993
2877
10:25
the different generations of feminists,
260
613870
3291
med različnimi generacijami feministk,
10:29
but also across the, like, vocal ranges,
261
617161
5335
ampak tudi prek glasovnih razponov,
10:34
so that, like, we,
262
622496
3041
zato da se,
10:37
because otherwise it's just, like,
263
625537
2411
saj je brez tega vse samo
10:39
restriculous within feminism,
264
627948
2469
strosmešno s feminizmom,
10:42
which is just, like, a word that I created
265
630417
3372
kar je beseda, ki sem si jo izmislila
10:45
that means, like, so strict it's ridiculous.
266
633789
3172
in pomeni, da je tako strogo,
da je smešno.
da je smešno.
10:48
So that's my feeling about that.
267
636961
2032
Tako jaz o tem razmišljam.
10:50
You guys are a-mazing, by the way.
268
638993
2880
Odlični ste, mimogrede.
10:53
Okay. Next question.
269
641873
3110
Okej. Naslednje vprašanje.

ne pa za plešavost? Kaj je s tem?]
11:03
Yeah, you know what,
272
651749
1466
Hja, veste kaj,
ime mi je Joseph Mancuso.
ime mi je Joseph Mancuso.
11:05
so my name is Joseph Mancuso.
273
653215
2224
11:07
First of all, I just want to say that I appreciate
274
655439
3304
Najprej naj samo povem, da cenim,
11:10
that TED in general has been a pretty orderly crowd,
275
658743
2950
da je TED na splošno precej urejena ekipa,
zelo urejena skupina.
zelo urejena skupina.
11:13
a pretty orderly group.
276
661693
3430
11:17
And, you know, I just have to say,
277
665123
2509
Veste, moram povedati,
da pri celi reči s plešavostjo,
da pri celi reči s plešavostjo,
11:19
the whole thing with baldness,
278
667632
2300
11:21
and, you know, here's the thing.
279
669932
4801
in veste, v tem je reč.
11:26
As long as the woman, in my case --
280
674733
3555
Vse dokler ženske, vsaj pri meni --
ker je to sodoben svet,
ker je to sodoben svet,
11:30
because it's a modern world,
281
678288
1137
11:31
do whatever you want to do, I don't
have any problem with anybody,
have any problem with anybody,
282
679425
2903
počnejo, kar hočejo,
nimam težav z nikomer,
nimam težav z nikomer,
11:34
enjoy yourself, LGBTQLMNOP. All right?
283
682328
4867
uživajte, LGBTQLMNOP. Prav?
Ampak kar se mene tiče,
11:39
But as far as I'm concerned,
284
687195
2987
11:42
attractiveness,
285
690182
1413
privlačnost, žensk res ne zanima,
toliko kot vi mislite, da jih,
toliko kot vi mislite, da jih,
11:43
women don't really care
286
691595
2150
11:45
as much as you think they do
287
693745
2103
11:47
about the, you know.
288
695848
1394
tole, no saj veste.
Spomnim se, da sem slišal neko žensko.
11:49
I mean, I remember hearing this woman.
289
697242
1375
11:50
She loved her husband, it was the sweetest thing.
290
698617
2842
Ljubila je svojega moža,
res prisrčna stvar.
res prisrčna stvar.
11:53
It's a pretty young girl, you know?
291
701459
1845
In bila je lepa mlada ženska, veste?
11:55
And this guy's older.
292
703304
1541
In ta moški je bil starejši.
11:56
And, you know, she said she would love him
293
704845
3205
In veste, rekla je, da bi ga ljubila tudi,
če bi imel sneg na strehi
če bi imel sneg na strehi
12:00
even if he had snow on the roof
294
708050
2210
12:02
or even if melted and disappeared altogether.
295
710260
4000
ali pa če bi se stopil in čisto izginil.
12:06
As far as I'm concerned, it's about the love.
296
714260
2620
Kar se mene tiče, se gre tu za ljubezen.
12:08
Am I right, or am I right?
297
716880
1662
Imam prav ali imam prav?
12:10
So that's it. That's it. That's it.
298
718542
1986
In to je to. To je to. To je to.
12:12
I don't got nothing more to say.
299
720528
776
Nič več nimam za povedati.
Brišite si nos.
Brišite si nos.
12:13
Keep your noses clean.
300
721304
1718
12:15
All right, next question.
301
723022
4454
Dobro, naslednje vprašanje.
12:19
"Have you ever tasted meat that's not lab grown?"
302
727476
4081
"Ste že kdaj okusili meso,
ki ni bilo vzgojeno v laboratoriju?"
ki ni bilo vzgojeno v laboratoriju?"
12:26
Um, well, I,
303
734057
4553
Hm, no, jaz,
12:30
I want to start by saying
304
738610
2120
za začetek naj povem,
da je to zelo težka izkušnja
da je to zelo težka izkušnja
12:32
that this is a very difficult experience
305
740730
4518
12:37
for a Chinese-American.
306
745248
5316
za Američana kitajskega rodu.
12:42
I don't know what to call myself now,
307
750564
3073
Ne vem, kako naj se sedaj imenujem,
ker sam imam kitajsko identiteto,
ker sam imam kitajsko identiteto,
12:45
because I have really my Chinese identity,
308
753637
4314
12:49
but my kids, they are American-Chinese,
309
757951
6161
a moji otroci so že asimilirani,
12:56
but it's difficult to try to express myself
310
764112
4391
težko se je izraziti
13:00
in front of audience of people like this.
311
768503
5792
pred takim občinstvom.
13:06
But if had to give my opinion about meat,
312
774295
7362
A če moram povedati svoje mnenje o mesu,
13:13
I think first, the most important thing is to say
313
781657
4964
najprej pomislim, da je
najpomembneje povedati,
najpomembneje povedati,
13:18
that we don't have to have perfect food,
314
786621
5748
da ni treba, da imamo popolno hrano,
13:24
but maybe it can also not be poison.
315
792369
4930
a je vseeno dobro, če ni strup.
13:29
Maybe we can have some middle ground for that.
316
797299
5096
Mogoče bi lahko imeli
kako srednjo možnost.
kako srednjo možnost.
13:34
But I will continue to consider this idea,
317
802395
3718
A bom še razmišljal o tem
13:38
and I will report back maybe next year.
318
806113
4766
in se z odgovorom mogoče
vrnem naslednje leto.
vrnem naslednje leto.
13:42
Next.
319
810879
1250
Naprej. Naprej. Naprej. (Aplavz)
13:44
Next. Next. (Applause)
320
812129
3068
13:47
"Will there ever be a post-racial world?"
321
815197
5376
"Ali bo kdaj obstajal svet brez ras?"
13:54
Thank you for having me.
322
822387
2384
Hvala, da me gostite tu.
13:56
My name is Gary Weaselhead. Enjoy that.
323
824771
5020
Ime mi je Gary Weaselhead. Uživajte v tem.
14:01
I'm a member of the Blackfeet Nation.
324
829791
2320
Sem član organizacije Blackfeet Nation.
14:04
I'm also half Lakota, but that is my given name,
325
832111
4011
Sem tudi pol Indijanec,
ampak to je moje ime,
ampak to je moje ime,
14:08
and no, even though it would have seemed
326
836122
3289
in ne, čeprav bi se zdela
kot jasna izbira,
kot jasna izbira,
14:11
like an obvious choice,
327
839411
1576
14:12
no, I did not go into politics.
328
840987
3977
ne, nisem šel v politiko.
14:18
Tough crowd.
329
846058
1244
Zahtevna publika.
14:19
(Laughter)
330
847302
1010
(Smeh)
14:20
But I always like to just let people know
331
848312
3263
Ampak vedno rad ljudem povem,
ko sprašujejo o rasah in podobnih rečeh,
ko sprašujejo o rasah in podobnih rečeh,
14:23
when they ask about race or those kinds of things,
332
851575
3857
14:27
you know, as a member of
the First Nations community,
the First Nations community,
333
855432
4736
veste, kot del skupnosti First Nations,
14:32
you know, I'm probably
334
860168
3880
veste, verjetno
14:36
not your typical guy.
335
864048
1752
nisem običajen človek.
14:37
For example, in addition to being an activist,
336
865800
2973
Na primer, poleg tega, da sem aktivist,
sem tudi poklicni stand-up komik.
sem tudi poklicni stand-up komik.
14:40
I'm also a professional stand-up comedian.
337
868773
4135
14:44
(Laughter)
338
872908
3440
(Smeh)
14:48
And, you know, I'm most popular
339
876348
5416
In veste, najbolj sem slaven
14:53
on college and university campuses.
340
881764
2023
v univerzitetnih kampusih.
14:55
You know, whenever they want to do a diversity day,
341
883787
4637
Saj veste, kadar hočejo
prirediti dan raznolikosti,
prirediti dan raznolikosti,
15:00
or hey-we're-not-all-white week,
342
888424
5886
oziroma teden
hej-tu-niso-samo-izključno-belci,
hej-tu-niso-samo-izključno-belci,
15:06
then I'm there. (Laughter)
343
894310
2108
takrat sem tam. (Smeh)
15:08
Do I think there will ever be a post-racial world?
344
896418
3682
Ali mislim, da bomo kdaj
presegli rasno delitev?
presegli rasno delitev?
15:12
I think, really, I can't talk about race
345
900100
3021
Res mislim, da ne morem govoriti o rasi,
15:15
without remembering that it is a construct
346
903121
3069
ne da bi se spomnil, da je konstrukt,
15:18
in certain respects,
347
906190
2191
v nekaterih pogledih,
15:20
but also that, you know,
348
908381
2526
ampak tudi, veste,
15:22
until we redress the wrongs of the past,
349
910907
3586
dokler ne popravimo preteklih krivic,
15:26
we're going to be turned around.
350
914493
1548
se bomo k temu vedno vračali.
15:28
I don't care if the present is the new future.
351
916041
3969
Ne briga me, če je
sedanjost nova prihodnost.
sedanjost nova prihodnost.
15:32
I think there's a lot of great people here at TED
352
920010
1706
Mislim, da je na TED veliko dobrih ljudi,
ki se ukvarjajo s tem
ki se ukvarjajo s tem
15:33
who are working to address that,
353
921716
2106
15:35
so with that, if anything I've said today
354
923822
3238
in zato, če sem rekel karkoli,
kar vam ni bilo prijetno, ni zakaj.
kar vam ni bilo prijetno, ni zakaj.
15:39
makes you feel uncomfortable, you're welcome.
355
927060
3408
15:42
(Applause)
356
930468
2887
(Aplavz)
15:45
I think we have time for one more.
357
933355
3807
Mislim, da imamo čas še za enega.
15:49
"What's the most popular diet these days?"
358
937162
3475
"Kaj je najbolj popularna dieta te dni?"
15:52
Who's here?
359
940637
1808
Koga imamo tu?
15:54
Okay, well, I'm just gonna answer this really fast,
360
942445
2052
Ok, na to bom odgovorila res hitro,
kot trije ali štirje različni liki.
kot trije ali štirje različni liki.
15:56
as, like, three or four different people.
361
944497
1726
15:58
I mean really fast.
362
946223
1097
In mislim res hitro.
15:59
I'm just gonna let y'all know that,
as far as diet is concerned,
as far as diet is concerned,
363
947320
2985
Naj vam samo povem, da kar se diet tiče,
če se nimate radi navznoter,
če se nimate radi navznoter,
16:02
if you don't love yourself inside,
364
950305
2685
16:04
there is no diet on this Earth
365
952990
2299
ni na tem svetu nobene diete, ki bi
naredila vašo zadnjico dovolj majhno,
naredila vašo zadnjico dovolj majhno,
16:07
that is going to make your behind small enough
366
955289
2991
16:10
for you to feel good,
367
958280
1370
da bi se počutili dobro,
zato nehajte zapravljati čas.
zato nehajte zapravljati čas.
16:11
so just stop wasting your time.
368
959650
3640
Kot Afričanka ni rada rekla,
16:15
I would just like to say as an African woman
369
963290
1730
16:17
that I believe the diet that we need
370
965020
3100
da verjamem, da je dieta,
ki jo potrebujemo,
ki jo potrebujemo,
16:20
is really to remove the crazy belief
371
968120
4270
da odpravimo noro prepričanje,
16:24
that there is anything wrong
372
972390
2016
da je kaj narobe z lepo zadnjico.
16:26
with a nice backside.
373
974406
1254
16:27
No, I am teasing about that.
374
975660
1879
Ne, šalim se.
16:29
There is nothing wrong with a woman of size.
375
977539
2295
Nič ni narobe z obilnejšimi ženskami.
To hočem povedati.
To hočem povedati.
16:31
That is what I am trying to say.
376
979834
2025
16:33
Women, celebrate your body, for God's sake.
377
981859
3056
Ženske, slavite svoja telesa,
za božjo voljo.
za božjo voljo.
16:36
Stop running around starving.
378
984915
1877
Nehajte begati naokrog in stradati.
Sebe in druge delate nesrečne.
Sebe in druge delate nesrečne.
16:38
You are making yourselves
and other people miserable.
and other people miserable.
379
986792
3861
16:42
Last answer.
380
990653
3620
Zadnji odgovor.
16:46
So we're talking about what's the most popular diet?
381
994273
4492
Govorimo torej o tem,
kaj je najpopularnejša dieta?
kaj je najpopularnejša dieta?
16:50
I'm gonna start off by telling y'all that
382
998765
3756
Naj začnem s tem, da vam povem,
16:54
this is my first time here at TED.
383
1002521
4401
da sem prvič tu na TED.
16:58
I might not be your typical person
384
1006922
2593
Mogoče nisem najbolj običajna oseba,
ki bi jo srečali na tem odru.
ki bi jo srečali na tem odru.
17:01
you find on this stage.
385
1009515
2325
17:03
My dental work not as nice as some people.
386
1011840
3263
Nimam najlepših zob, ampak dosegla sem,
da je Sarah Jones obljubila,
da je Sarah Jones obljubila,
17:07
But I made Sarah Jones promise
387
1015103
2059
17:09
she gonna bring me this time,
388
1017162
2156
da me bo tokrat pripeljala,
17:11
'cause she didn't bring me before,
389
1019318
5000
saj me ni še nikoli prej,
17:16
but you know, I just want to say,
390
1024318
1892
ampak veste, hotela sem samo reči,
17:18
there's a lot of things more important
391
1026210
1460
da je veliko reči bolj pomembnih
od štetja kalorij
od štetja kalorij
17:19
than counting calories,
392
1027670
2900
17:22
and as somebody living on the streets in New York,
393
1030570
3328
in kot nekdo, ki živi na ulicah New Yorka,
17:25
and getting to come here,
hear y'all ideas worth spreading,
hear y'all ideas worth spreading,
394
1033898
4319
in ki je uspel priti sem,
poslušat vse ideje, vredne širjenja,
poslušat vse ideje, vredne širjenja,
17:30
I want to tell y'all I believe in this idea
395
1038217
2367
naj vam povem, da verjamem v to idejo,
da je sedanjost nova prihodnost,
da je sedanjost nova prihodnost,
17:32
that the present is the new future,
396
1040584
2116
17:34
that where you sit, you create everything
397
1042700
3196
in da tam, kjer ste, ustvarjate vse,
kar bo prišlo, dobro ali slabo.
kar bo prišlo, dobro ali slabo.
17:37
that's gonna come, for better or worse.
398
1045896
3014
17:40
And for me, I think homeless
399
1048910
2620
In mislim, da je brezdomec
tako ali tako napačna beseda.
tako ali tako napačna beseda.
17:43
is the wrong word for it anyway.
400
1051530
2112
17:45
You know, I might not have me no place
401
1053642
1867
Veste, mogoče nimam prostora,
kamor bi lahko šla ponoči spat,
kamor bi lahko šla ponoči spat,
17:47
to lay my head at night,
402
1055509
1699
17:49
but that just makes me houseless.
403
1057208
3301
ampak zaradi tega sem samo brez hiše.
17:52
I have me a home. You do too.
404
1060509
2341
Jaz imam dom. In vi tudi.
17:54
Find it and try to find yourself in there.
405
1062850
4223
Poiščite ga in poskušajte
v njem najti tudi sebe.
v njem najti tudi sebe.
17:59
Make sure you know,
406
1067073
1529
Prepričajte se, da se zavedate, da ni vse
samo o virtualni resničnosti v prostoru.
samo o virtualni resničnosti v prostoru.
18:00
it's not just about virtual reality in space.
407
1068602
4588
18:05
That's wonderful, but it's also about
408
1073190
1642
To je čudovito, ampak upoštevati je treba
tudi pravo realnost tu na Zemlji.
tudi pravo realnost tu na Zemlji.
18:06
the actual reality here on Earth.
409
1074832
2694
18:09
How are people living today?
410
1077526
1472
Kako ljudje živijo danes?
Kako ste vi lahko del rešitve?
Kako ste vi lahko del rešitve?
18:10
How can you be part of the solution?
411
1078998
2370
18:13
Thank y'all for thinking about that
412

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sarah Jones - Polymorphic playwrightTony Award-winning monologist, UNICEF ambassador, firebrand and FCC-fighting poet -- Sarah Jones assumes as many roles offstage as on.
Why you should listen
"Chameleon-like" barely describes the astonishing ease with which Sarah Jones slips in and out of the characters in her solo performances -- as many as fourteen personae in her Broadway hit Bridge & Tunnel. Critics marvel not only at her ability to perfectly mimic accents and mannerisms, but also to seemingly reshape her body, down to pupils and dimples, in the blink of an eye.
Jones' performances showcase a biting political awareness, and she has received commissions from Equality Now, the Kellogg Foundation and the National Immigration Forum to address issues of injustice and inequality. She is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and has given multiple performances at the White House at the invitation of President and First Lady Obama. Jones is now at work on a new solo show called Sell/Buy/Date, commissioned by the Novo Foundation. She debuted material from it at TED2015. She is also working on a commission for Lincoln Center Theater and a television project based on her characters.
