Falkvinge at TEDx: Like a Cross Between Churchill, Gandhi, and Mad Max

I presented my story at TEDx Observer in London recently, and the video from the event has come online. This was the first time I was asked to tell my story, rather than talking about the pirate ideas.

After a significant amount of sweat, I knew what to say. (More conferences are already asking for this presentation, or variations on it, by the way.) I think it came out quite well for a 15-minute presentation:

This was at Sadler’s Wells in London, near King’s Cross, in front of an audience of 1200. I positively loved the reviews! I mean, “I wish it had been longer” – who’d say something like that about a politician speaking?

Audience reactions

Putting my Twitter name on every slide was, of course, a signal to the audience that I love reviews, no matter what they say. I’m biased here, but I read the reviews as quite favorable:

Funny, engaging, and makes sense. If only all politicians were like this.Charlotte Beckett

Rick Falkvinge is like a cross between Churchill, Gandhi, and Mad Max.Omaid Hiwaizi

Amazing talk by Falkvinge. A new breed of politician.Alex Emanuel

Brilliant speaker.Morgan Fitzsimons

Falkvinge is my new Citizen Kane.Daniel Blackburn

Glad there’s politicians like Falkvinge out there with an eye on our digital futures.Richard Dufty

Falkvinge: Really great job, love your presenting styleEimear Lambe

Clear, pungent, insightful, and funny. I wish it had been longer – words you rarely hear! Wanted to know more.Polly Fiona McDonald

Cracking talk.Michael Spragg

Very powerful on why governments must be stopped in their curtailing of net censorship and civil liberties.Nick Jefferson

Falkvinge: Great presentation at TEDx Observer. Message – excellent. Futurama quotes – a bonus.Sarah Bailey

Falkvinge: Outstanding and inspiring presentation.Gareth Redmond

…and many more. As flattering as these are, it was still just a selection (reformatted from Twitter flow format into article format, for readability).

Rick is the founder of the first Pirate Party and is a political evangelist, traveling around Europe and the world to talk and write about ideas of a sensible information policy. He has a tech entrepreneur background and loves whisky.
