Is Humanity Smart Enough To Survive Itself? : Jeanette Winterson : Ted

With quick wit and sharp insight, writer Jeanette Winterson lays out a vision of the future where human and machine intelligence meld - forming what she calls "alternative intelligence" - and takes a philosophical look at the species, asking: Are we smart enough to survive how smart we are? (Followed by a Q&A with TED's head of curation Helen Walters)
