In the interview process, we were discussing what I was ultimately hoping the audience would take away from my talk. While I wished I was a media theorist but wasn’t, or a great artist doing amazing visual works which I’m not, the talk had elements of both things in common ways. In the back and forth with the TEDx Omaha team, when pressed, I landed on “I want people to question more what they see online, to not just blindly accept what’s put in front of them.” Using my progressively minded images would be the messengers for a message about critical thinking. If you align philosophically with the images, great, if not, that works too. And if you happen to have a problem with the images, fine, then do your own talk.
