Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.56,0:00:14.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And TED Talks -- TED Talks\Nare where everybody has great ideas.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.86,0:00:18.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the question is: Where do\Nthose great ideas come from?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.28,0:00:20.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, it's a little bit of debate,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.65,0:00:23.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it's generally reckoned\Nthat the average person --

Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.96,0:00:28.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Which is a lot,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.14,0:00:30.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,until you realize that 95 percent of them
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.99,0:00:33.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are the same ones you had the day before.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.64,0:00:35.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.65,0:00:39.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And a lot of mine are really boring, OK?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.28,0:00:40.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think things like,

Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.37,0:00:46.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My most popular:

Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.79,0:00:53.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, 95 percent repetition.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.57,0:00:58.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That leaves us with just a five percent\Nwindow of opportunity each day
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.91,0:01:01.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to actually think something new.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.73,0:01:04.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And some of my new thoughts are useless.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.70,0:01:07.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The other day I was watching\Nsome sports on television,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.35,0:01:11.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I was trying to decide\Nwhy I just don't engage with it.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.10,0:01:12.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some of it I find curious.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.39,0:01:13.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is odd.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.98,0:01:15.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.36,0:01:18.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Do you think it would be\Nworth being that flexible
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.79,0:01:21.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just to be able to see\Nyour heel at that angle?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.06,0:01:22.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.51,0:01:26.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And here's the thing:
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.99,0:01:29.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm never going to be able\Nto relate to that,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.16,0:01:31.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I'm never going\Nto be able to do it, OK?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.47,0:01:33.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, not twice, anyway.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.31,0:01:34.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.13,0:01:38.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I'll tell you the truth.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.49,0:01:41.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The truth is I have never been\Nany good at sport, OK?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.32,0:01:43.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've reached that wonderful age\Nwhen all my friends say,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.02,0:01:47.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Oh, I wish I was as fit\Nas I was when I was 18."
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.24,0:01:49.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I always feel rather smug then.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.41,0:01:51.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.05,0:01:55.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm exactly as fit as I was when I --

Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.64,0:01:59.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.22,0:02:03.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I couldn't run then. I'm certainly\Nnot going to do it now.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.05,0:02:04.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.10,0:02:05.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So then I had my new idea:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.68,0:02:08.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why not engage people like me in sport?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.78,0:02:10.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think what the world needs now
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.58,0:02:14.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the Olympics for people\Nwith zero athletic ability.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.52,0:02:16.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.76,0:02:18.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Oh, it would be so much more fun.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.43,0:02:20.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We'd have three basic rules, OK?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.06,0:02:23.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Obviously no drugs;\Nno corruption, no skills.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.16,0:02:24.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.23,0:02:25.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It would be --
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.40,0:02:27.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,No, it's a terrible idea.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.89,0:02:32.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I also know why I don't engage\Nwith sport when I watch it on television.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.06,0:02:36.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's because probably 97 percent of it\Nis about men running
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.67,0:02:38.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and men kicking things,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.22,0:02:41.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,men trying to look\Nneatly packaged in Lycra.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.78,0:02:47.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.84,0:02:52.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is so little\Nfemale sport on television,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.10,0:02:54.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that a young woman watching\Nmight be forgiven for thinking,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.00,0:02:56.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and how can I put this nicely,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.58,0:02:59.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the male member\Nis the very lever you need

Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.83,0:03:04.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.84,0:03:09.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The inequalities in sport\Nare breathtaking.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.83,0:03:11.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this is what happens to me:
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.29,0:03:12.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I have a brand new idea,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.48,0:03:15.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and immediately I come back to an old one.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.22,0:03:17.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The fact is, there is not now,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.33,0:03:20.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,nor has there ever been\Nin the whole of history,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.90,0:03:33.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, here is a picture of evolution.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.82,0:03:41.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We women are not even in it!

Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.93,0:03:50.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a wonder men have been able\Nto evolve quite so brilliantly.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.68,0:03:51.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So --

Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.90,0:03:56.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It bugs me, and I know\NI should do something about it.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.62,0:04:03.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact, if I'm honest with you,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.21,0:04:04.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one of the reasons I came out here
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.88,0:04:07.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is because TED Talks said\NI could have 15 minutes to myself,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.75,0:04:09.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I never have that much time --

Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.64,0:04:21.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And anyway, I already had a go\Nat changing the world.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.20,0:04:22.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here's the thing, OK?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.38,0:04:25.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Everybody has inside themselves\Nwhat I call an "activation button."
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.56,0:04:27.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's the button that gets\Npressed when you think,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.10,0:04:44.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I was born gay, OK?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.03,0:04:45.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've always known,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.91,0:05:06.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So my activation button\Nwas pressed when I had my kids --
