Six TED fellows, including Sarah Sandman, have resigned in protest against the decision to invite billionaire Bill Ackman and writer Bari Weiss as speakers at an upcoming TED conference in Vancouver, Canada. The resignations underscore a growing discontent with the direction of the TED platform, which critics argue has shifted towards corporate groupthink and self-promotion. The controversy was sparked by the inclusion of Ackman, known for his financial dealings and controversial opinions, and Weiss, who has been criticized as a genocide apologist.
