I very much enjoyed the Ted Talk. However, while related, it seems not to be directly on this subject. The Talk is about being a hero and promoting intelligent thoughts, while this is on the topic of one individual or organisation countering itself. The examples and techniques stated in the talk are very reminiscent, but sufficiently different that you can't really say this article and the show are "centered" on the same subject.

They're pretty close in the space of critical thought behaviors beneficial to us, but not quite close enough to be the same point, at least not on my map.
