If you haven’t already heard the non-for-profit TED, I suggest you check them out. TED holds a series of conferences every year with some of the most notable speakers in the world. So, I was rather thrilled when a colleague sent me a link to a (literally) animated speech by Philosophy Professor, Dennis Dutton, based on his theory that humans are essentially hard-wired to seek beauty. Very interesting stuff!
