Ted Talk Response

      I think that David Cameron made a very convincing pitch in his TED talk and I was interested by all of his ideas. People are generally happier when you give them more power and privledges and giving them power can also increase their abilities. It sounds like a very simple idea; you give people more power, they are happier and with their new power they have incredible potential to do great things. It also sounds like it would work amazing and with no downsides but if people abused their new power or it doesn't have the positive effect that David expects it creates new problems and wastes money.

Without a doubt I would vote for him because his platform sounds so appealing in the way that we benefit from it so much that it is suppose to increase our well-being and happiness. It sounds like a very hard change to make and it could end up not working but if it did in the way that David hopes then it could be a major break through for society and would be an awesome change.
